Chapter 306

Global online and ICQ portal websites have accounted for more than 90% of the market share of portal websites, and the monopoly is too fierce, which is not allowed by the U.S. government.

This antitrust investigation, the most likely to be split to sell is "global online"!

In that case, sell global online.

However, before selling global online, Henry decided to split twitter.

Henry then explained his general meaning to the public, and the major shareholders of global online also understood that once the anti-monopoly investigation was completed, global online could not escape, and the government would definitely ask Henry to sell global online!

However, these major shareholders of global online do not want to separate twitter. After all, global online owns twitter, so its market value will be much higher, and it is also good for the development of global online!

So, when they heard that Henry wanted to split twitter, they suddenly felt unnatural, and someone objected on the spot: "it's OK to sell global online, but twitter can't be split!"

Then, many shareholders echoed.

"Yes, you can sell global online, but you can't split twitter."

"Twitter is becoming more and more important. It's the core asset of global online. It can't be separated!"

"Mr. Williams, you can't lose everyone's interest for your own sake!"

"Yes

“……”

There was a faint anger on Henry's face when he heard what they said, but he forbade it!

According to the U.S. monopoly law, Henry will sell his shares, and these minority shareholders will also hold shares of globeline, so they don't want Henry to split twitter. However, they don't think about who created twitter!

Fortunately, Henry had people apply for the patent, and the patent belongs to his own individual, rather than global online.

"OK, then don't split twitter!" Henry said faintly, "but I think Twitter is creative, and even the patent right is in my hands. In the future, global online will give me a patent fee every year!"

Shareholders of global online were very happy when they heard the preceding sentence. However, Henry's last sentence made everyone very unhappy but helpless.

Jonathan Jackson asked, "Mr. Williams, who are you going to sell the company to?"

"Hum, please contact AOL to see if they want it or not!" There was a strange smile on Henry's face.

"All right!" Jonathan Jackson nodded, "I think they are very willing to buy global online, but AOL may have no money!"

"There will be money..." Henry said with a smile, "ha ha, there will be banks to lend them money! In fact, they just need to buy my shares. I don't think other shareholders are willing to sell their shares! "

With that, Henry glanced up at the big and small shareholders of global online, then paused and continued: "I will cash out some shares in the stock market, and then sell the remaining shares to AOL! The market value of global online is more than 200 billion US dollars. I currently hold 67.5% of the shares, and I intend to cash out 17.5% of the shares in the stock market. Then there's 50% left. They just need to spend another 100 billion dollars to buy my shares! AOL can't get enough money to buy it with others. It doesn't matter to me. Of course... "Henry said with a smile," if the major shareholders here are also interested, I can sell them to you! If you can eat all my shares in one gulp, you can sell them all to me! "

As soon as Henry's words were finished, some of these people were already excited.

The global online development situation is good, the market value is also higher and higher.

"Mr. Williams, I'm going to buy..."

Someone immediately said, but Henry interrupted with a smile, "the people who want to buy my shares find Jonathan Jackson, wait for him to count the number, and then trade together!"

"Well, good!" The man nodded and said.

Before the end of the meeting, the US government announced that it would conduct an anti-monopoly investigation on Williams network.

Then there was an uproar in the media.

Outside the conference room, a female secretary knocked on the door in a panic, ran to Henry, bent down in his ear and whispered: "Chairman, no, the US government has just announced that it will conduct an anti-monopoly investigation on Williams network!"

Henry said faintly, "I see. Go out!"

"Yes

When the female secretary walked out, Henry said with a calm smile: "just now my secretary told me that the US government officially announced that it would conduct an anti monopoly investigation on us! All right, let's go back! Have a good lawyer and prepare for a lawsuit! "

"Yes!"

Around nearly a thousand people stood up, and then one by one out of the conference room!

The U.S. government's antitrust investigation on Williams network is not a global online company, but a number of Internet companies including Nicholas group, Isearch and so on. At present, Henry has only made arrangements for global online. Just because other companies have not made arrangements does not mean that they are safe. They have to ask a lawyer to file a lawsuit. Otherwise, the companies will be sold. How can Henry play!

Nicholas international e-commerce also has the suspicion of monopoly, but far less than the global online strong, only occupies about 70% of the market, but it is also likely to be split and sold.

In addition, ICQ company is suspected of monopoly. However, there are still many instant messaging software, such as Microsoft MSN Messenger, AOL IM and so on.

Isearch search is basically a monopoly, but its monopoly depends on global online search.

Once global online is sold and does not cooperate with Isearch, there will be no monopoly in Isearch!

However, without Isearch's support, the market share of global online will be greatly reduced.

Yahoo without Google's support, the result plummeted, especially when Google launched its own website search home page, Yahoo's traffic fell sharply, and then declined!

At present, Isearch only provides search services for other websites, and does not have its own website search home page!

The reason why Henry didn't open the home page of the search website is that he didn't feel necessary. After all, global online is his own, so it's meaningless to grab its traffic; Second, keep one hand. It's just like the current situation

Henry wants to sell global online to AOL. He's actually pitching it!

AOL spends a lot of money to buy global online, but Isearch steals the traffic. Isn't it a loss? Google's existence has brought Yahoo down, and Isearch can make global online just like Yahoo

……

The antitrust investigation of Williams network soon spread to the United States.

On the same day, the market value of Henry's Internet companies all decreased, which led to the collapse of the whole Internet concept stock price!

The market value of global online has dropped from $235 billion to $210 billion, which has evaporated $25 billion all of a sudden! Henry was shocked. The Internet bubble was not broken at this time. Brother has not yet made a fortune in cash.
