Chapter 1172 Big Fish Eat Big Fish
"Dude, I heard that MOL is planning to acquire Netscape. In this way, can your lawsuit be ended?"
Bill Gates rolled his eyes at the handsome pot opposite him, bastard, he can obviously live on his face, but he is also so successful in his career.
The most hateful thing is that this guy basically has no setbacks.
Bill Gates suddenly discovered that this guy is the winner in life.
"Michael, I don't even dare to think about such a good thing. Well, it's my bad luck. If this guy succeeds in the acquisition, he won't be short of money to sue me."
The U.S. antitrust lawsuit is like an old lady's foot wrap, smelly and long. If the opponent has no strength, just use time to drag him to death.
This method is equally suitable in other lawsuits. When a product or technology affects American companies, they often adopt this method.
Not to mention other industries, in the communication industry, Alcatel and HTC were cheated to death in this way.
Or, Jobs would say, what is HTC, it is not an opponent at all. Believe it or not, I'll beat you with one hand.
Maybe, but I think the smartphone market will be a lot more interesting if there is competition from HTC.
What, you said there are four stars?
Hey, can it be the same? You said that Four Star is a US company. I don't think there will be too many people who will refute your point of view.
'98 was a very interesting year. During this year, the most tangled life is all kinds of rich local tyrants.
The notes in hand are depreciating, the gold in the cellar is depreciating, and even those works of art are also depreciating.
You got used to the days of local tyrants, you stole so much money in one go. To be honest, this group of guys wanted to die.
At this time, the only long-term prosperity, besides Nasdaq, can you still find the same subject matter?
The IT industry is an industry where miracles are born. You will hear a story every once in a while, who gets rich again, originally just a hard-working college student.
As a result, after inventing something, venture capital money came, and then, going public to collect money and go to the pinnacle of life.
A millionaire is nothing, and a millionaire is just getting started. It seems that billionaires are simply a piece of cake in this industry.
Is that really the case?
Maybe, you just didn't see the martyrs who came and went.
In fact, the current IT industry has a very high starting point. You're basically thinking about ideas that have already been developed.
The capital market is like this, the big fish eat the small fish. If you can't lead the industry in a short period of time, your best result is to be included.
Don't talk about your small shrimp company.
What about Netscape?
This is a company with a market capitalization of billions of dollars. Even though it is not profitable, compared with its profitability, its stock price is still strong.
It's a pity that there is no possibility of refinancing. If you still plan to continue to burn money, you should find someone to take over the deal.
Since the Windows system was bundled with the IE browser, Netscape's market share has been declining. Even if they launched a free castration version, the process of such a decline has not changed.
Relatively professional users may like Netscape. But what about ordinary users? People just read the news and check their emails. Since there is a browser in the operating system, why should I bother.
Five years ago, the main users of PCs were still small and micro enterprises.
But what about now?
You are now loudly saying that personal PCs are actually household appliances.
Rest assured, there won't be too many people to refute your point of view.
Apple's latest desktop computer, the production plan has been scheduled until next year, no matter how many machines you have now, they will be wiped out soon.
"This is a terrible acquisition. Well, it is also bad luck for Netscape. If it is acquired, it is probably not far from death."
"Boss, what is the reason for this? Isn't it a strong alliance? By the way, Exxon has reached an agreement to acquire Mobil. Soon, they will make an official announcement soon."
"Tsk, this is really a feast. It's different. First of all, Exxon and Mobil are from the same family. There is no conceptual problem in their cooperation.
And America Online, Steve Case was a very egotistical person. It doesn't matter how many companies he acquires, or how different this company is.
Eventually, you'll become a division of America Online. "
"Hey, boss, if this is the case, it's best to wait and see."
William White gave this guy a blank look, buddy is almost forty years old now, do you think he will be as old as before?
Right now, this time is the most suitable time for transformation. When you are almost killed, buddies will become old thieves.
Perhaps, dye the hair gray first, it will look more imposing.
"Boss, Long-Term Capital Management, may really not be able to survive."
"Hey, these guys are obviously too young. Tsk, it's a pity that William White doesn't look young at all.
By the way, Andy, what does Goldman Sachs mean now? "
"Boss, Merrill Lynch has basically given up. If it's just us and Goldman Sachs, why not wait for him to go bankrupt first?"
The old fellow of Damo looked at his disciple speechlessly, feeling a lot of emotion for a moment.
Nima, do you know what kind of monstrous waves will be caused by the bankruptcy of a company with more than 100 billion assets?
Isn't this the American version of Peregrine?
The Xiangjiang stock market fell from 16,000 to the current 6,000. Although there is also the impact of the Asian financial crisis. However, if Peregrine does not go bankrupt, the Hang Seng Index should stay above 10,000 no matter what.
No matter what valuation you use to calculate, the most reasonable price of the current Hang Seng Index is around 10,000.
Investment banks are not banks, so they cannot enjoy the treatment of ordinary banks. This is only the level of Hong Kong Monetary Authority. But what is here, this is Wall Street, how could such a ridiculous thing happen.
At the same time, isn't this a kind of self-help.
Do you know that the so-called international hot money has not forgotten the big salted fish of the Dow. If this product also collapses, it doesn't matter whether others die or not, just make a fortune by yourself.
It has been so many years, and the Jewish people have always passed down the habit of not talking when they see benefits. William White even suspected that the so-called parchment might actually be true.
Believe it or not, the senior fund managers on Wall Street are generally Jewish. Moreover, these guys may not have graduated from any prestigious school. Those who can stand alone are mostly passed down from master to apprentice or family.
"It is impossible not to save it, if left alone, it will soon be the Great Depression in the new century.
I know that shorting can also make money. But, if a large number of financial institutions fail, are you sure you can get those profits?
Also, speaking of the culprit in the future, can you really be at ease with this money?
Remember, I'll just say it once, any country and any company can go bankrupt.
The only thing is, the United States is absolutely not good. If it really collapses here, it will be a catastrophe. "
"I see, boss, in this way, I will actively cooperate."
"Hey, there's no rush. Since there is Goldman Sachs, let them go to the trouble. I believe that we will use the lowest price to take down this behemoth.
Those claims should also be reconsidered, if possible. If you want to get back the principal and interest, stop dreaming. "
Tsk, the old guy is still a bit regretful, it would be wonderful if William White could fall down.
