Chapter 118

360 antivirus company's current task is to make security defense programs for PayPal and Williams online banking. As for 360 antivirus company's own products, we can develop them in the future. In addition, Henry issued a formal application for the acquisition of McAfee.

Mcafe was founded in 1987 and is also located in California. In three years, the performance is outstanding. However, the current antivirus software is generally made into CD-ROM for sale, limited by the channel and the expensive price, antivirus software CD actually can't sell much! If you can sell 100000 CDs a year, the result is already very good!

One hundred dollars for a CD, that's ten million dollars. In addition to channel sharing and costs and expenses, mcafe's annual profit is less than $4 million!

Henry valued his company at $50 million!!!

In 2010, Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, spent 76. 800 million dollars. Henry thinks that it's a steady business to win McAfee as soon as possible! Not only that, but also to consolidate their own strength!

McAfee agreed to Henry's acquisition application and both sides intend to enter the negotiation stage.

No way. Money moves people.

McAfee makes less than four million dollars a year, and with the rise of the Internet, CDs are getting harder to sell. We copy to, copy to, even online piracy. As a result, the company's performance began to decline. At this time, some people are willing to offer 50 million US dollars to buy it. As the major shareholders of the company, they are undoubtedly excited!

Later, Henry sent someone to contact with McAfee.

In order to suppress and force McAfee company to agree to be acquired as soon as possible, under Henry's instruction, there are more and more pirated software of McAfee company on the network, which makes the sales of McAfee anti-virus software CD plummet in reality!

Within a week, only 100 McAfee anti-virus software CDs were sold in the United States! In the past, at least more than 1000 copies could be sold.

People in the whole McAfee company were hit by this data. The company immediately launched an investigation and finally found that McAfee anti-virus software was found in all kinds of online piracy and download websites. Isearch searches for antivirus, and then the next row is full of pirated websites that download McAfee software. Nima, the people of McPhee company saw this, their heart suddenly cooled a lot!

However, disasters never come alone. Newspapers, television, the Internet are wantonly singing Down McAfee company, think that anti-virus technology is not good, anti-virus can not kill clean, no egg use!!!

This time, it's like sprinkling salt on the wound!

As a salt sprinkling expert, Henry did not hesitate to spend money to buy a lot of bags of salt. How can McAfee resist?

Under the internal and external troubles, the company has to obey!!!

In fact, people at McAfee naturally realized that someone was deliberately suppressing themselves. Just after Henry launched the acquisition, so many things happened. How could it be so coincidental??? However, they were not able to compete with the super tycoons. In addition, Henry's price was very fair. The major shareholders of McAfee held a meeting and finally decided to sell the company!

Two weeks of negotiations, Blitzkrieg generally won the McAfee company.

Henri then merged 360 antivirus with McAfee. It's necessary to dilute the shares. As a capitalist, we must learn this skill! Even if I give you 40% shares, I will dilute you to 10% in the end!!! However, Eugene Kaspersky's shares are only 1%, Henry is very generous to dilute his shares to 0. 5%, and the option award can only get 2. 5%！ In fact, McPhee's market value is 50 million US dollars, 360 antivirus company is only 10 million US dollars, and Eugene Kaspersky's shares should be reduced to 0. 167%, and the option reward should be reduced by 6 times!

But Henry is worried about giving him too few shares. It's not good to work hard!

This time, Henry merged the two companies, but did not dilute his shares to the corresponding extent. This undoubtedly shows that Henry attaches great importance to him, Eugene Kaspersky almost moved to tears! Eugene Kaspersky is very grateful to Henry. Even if someone pays a high price to dig someone, he will never change his job!!!

Henry also found that Eugene Kaspersky showed more respect for him. It seems that buying people's hearts is also a necessary course!

After the merger of the two companies, the name of the company is 360 McAfee (360 antivirus company, I'm afraid to be harmonious...), and Eugene Kaspersky is the CEO of the company and also the chief technology officer.

After the acquisition of McAfee, the newly merged company will have extra manpower to develop its own anti-virus software. McAfee only sells anti-virus software CDs, which is obviously a failure.

Free is king!

Internet anti-virus client is the key to hegemony!

What's the potential of selling CDs?

Henry's first order to acquire McAfee is to cancel the sale of CD-ROM and develop anti-virus client instead!

Henry called Eugene Kaspersky to the office, "Eugene Kaspersky, you are going to make an anti-virus client for users to download and use. And this client must be free of charge! "

Eugene Kaspersky was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Henry and hesitated: "Mr. Williams, do you say free?" If the software client is free, how can the company make money? Eugene Kaspersky was puzzled.

"Yes, it's completely free. Our antivirus client doesn't charge users any money!"!!! You know, in the Internet age, traffic is the most important. And free can bring huge traffic to our antivirus client. After that, we can open all kinds of value-added services to make money. " Henry explained briefly.

Eugene Kaspersky thought about it, and it seemed reasonable.

"OK, then I'll arrange the staff to develop the client right away!"

Henry nodded and said, "you go. By the way, the security detection programs of online banking and paypal are also added to the client to ensure the security of users' online property! "

"No problem!"

After Eugene Kaspersky left, Henry asked about the daily music company.

Daily music client has been officially launched on November 1, the client is hung in the ICQ chat software, users can click it to open. In addition, www. mp3。 Com website has a separate daily music client download options to provide download! Every day after the music client online, ushered in a wave of download. In particular, ICQ has publicized it. The huge traffic makes the daily music client break through the number of 100000 downloads in just one week!

Everyday music soon became the first choice player to play music!

Because everyday music has the largest music library, users can listen to music online. At that time, how powerful this function was!!! Other music players are just players, everyday music has been big, play online audition!

However, one thing Henry did not expect was www. mp3。 The number of songs downloaded from www.com.com and daily music client is not satisfactory.

On the one hand, it's inconvenient to recharge music coins. On the other hand, most users choose to listen to music instead of downloading music. Think about it, if there is a network, online audition is enough, why download

So, after the users spent all the money, the download amount of songs fell to the bottom in vain!

The major record companies in the United States did not see the daily music company to create their own interests, but caused huge losses! One by one only audition, do not download, this also how to play?

Because everyone tries to listen to music on the Internet, the real records of record companies don't sell well, and they can't make money on the Internet. As a result, major records have protested to ban the audition function of music every day. Henry thought it over and refused the record company's request. Before the development of online banking, users would not spend money to recharge music coins. If the audition is banned, it would be tantamount to destroying the city wall and losing a large number of users

Finally, the major record companies feel that they have been cheated, and they can't help but terminate their contracts one after another. The previous authorized songs can be regarded as "tuition fees". Then they stop authorizing the latest record songs to Tiantian music company!!!

Henry's head went up when he heard the news.

Crouching trough, you are not trustworthy!!!
