Age of Dreams

The European Union's investigation directive on Skype was issued on the afternoon of the same day Eastern Time in the United States, which caused great controversy.

If the Fairy Company were a listed company, its stock price would definitely plummet.

But the Fairy Company was not listed. Xiao Qi, who owns Skype, accounted for 96%, and he has enough money to develop. Therefore, the situation of Skype is much calmer than people expected.

After all, the start of various investigations does not mean that Skype is about to officially stop operations. Moreover, the Fairy Company has an extremely large network of contacts and the best team of lawyers. Therefore, the outside world generally believes that this is just an exchange of interests and compromise.

Skype will definitely lose something, but it doesn't mean it's the end.

The response from the US is naturally not so fast.

The U.S. Department of Commerce and related departments will only target Skype based on the findings of the European Union. Because Skype is a company operating in the United States and most of its employees are Americans, it should be cautious.

Moreover, Xiao Qi has too many investments in the United States, and there are too many stakeholders. Therefore, it is destined that the investigation in the United States is definitely not as aggressive as in Europe, and the final degree of restriction is not comparable to that in Europe.

Therefore, it is only in Europe that some media are discussing the legality of the government to do so, and many newspapers and magazines in the United States, especially the many rich people who do business with Xiao Qi, have begun to lash out against the European Union.

"I never knew that opening a network communications company can involve so many problems. Are you jealous?"-Apple Chairman Joe Bangzhu.

"Skype is obviously a company that is beneficial to the poor. The government of these powerful people does not serve the people!"-Ellison, President of Oracle.

"I just said. Why is the development of emerging technology in Europe not as good as the United States? It is because they are too closed, and they don't want to develop new technologies at all, but are closed. Do not let high-tech enter their country! Skype undoubtedly There is the power to change the world, but they still refuse. It's really inexplicable!"-Citibank Jabil.

"..."

The United States is still good, and the Chinese side is almost exploding.

It doesn't matter whether they know Skype or not, China has not yet allowed Skype to enter operations. The public opinion has directed gunfire at the European Union and aggressively attacked them.

"Damn, they all say that the Americans are ruthless, and these Europeans are also ruthless. What do you think of our country as China? What kind of free trade is on the surface. See what they are doing?"

"So I thought, why do we have to buy German cars? Germans are nothing at all! They are almost the same as Japanese!"

"Cut, these **** still hope that we will continue to buy their things and continue to import their various technical products? Why? Are you only allowed to make our money?"

"Dogday! They deal with Chinese people, that is, such an old trick, why should we be wronged?"

"It is recommended that the country investigate the agricultural products of Germany and France, automobile, British finance, Spain... all, we suspect that these things contain unfavorable factors for the Chinese people, and apply for a 10-year stay at the port for investigation and re-entry reads();!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country also expressed concern about this. It is said that several ambassadors have also come to discuss.

But this is of no use.

The common people only see the dependence of Europe and the United States on the Chinese market, but they do not think about how much China depends on the European and American markets.

in this world. Only the developed countries in Japan, South Korea and Europe and the United States are rich and willing to buy things. If we lose this market, it will be the heaviest blow to the modernization of China.

It is precisely because they know that we cannot do without them, so they use various methods to take advantage. For the sake of the overall situation, China can only swallow the voice-it is easy for you to turn your face, but the Philippines, India, Indonesia and other countries. But I hope you turn your face, many of their small industrial products and so on. You can seize the market of the original Chinese products!

This is the same reason Xiao Qi didn't turn his face with the Europeans.

He could be upset and directly announced that it would stop selling Fairy’s products in Europe. This will make European fans dissatisfied with the government's behavior and exert strong pressure.

But in this way, he will be cheaper for companies such as Apple, Samsung, etc. If the products of these companies take advantage of the withdrawal of the products of the Fairy Company, if the market is occupied, the Fairy Company wants to return to these markets, at least more. Take ten times the effort!

It's okay to get angry when you encounter something, but you must not lose your sense, otherwise you will lose more.

Let’s take the current situation as an example. European Union countries are investigating skype. Xiao Qi’s fairy company not only can’t go out of business, but on the contrary, he has to increase investment in the European market and strive to make more money so as to save himself. loss.

Why didn't Xiao Qi buy k and r, but only took a part of the shares in it?

Isn't it because they are afraid that they will be jealous of European and American countries, which will lead to huge losses?

The current k and r are pretty good. Xiao Qi can not only have a certain influence on them, but also share the benefits of their growth, without worrying about the same experience as Skype.

In today's situation, unless Xiao Qi's power can be greater than all the telecommunications industries in the EU combined, Skype will definitely be sold.

Obviously, if these communications industries were in China, Xiao Qi would not be able to say that he could intervene in, let alone one or two of them are local snakes, and they are known for their conservative stubbornness.

Selling Skype is for selling, but how to sell it, to whom, it is still particular about how to sell it.

Ballmer is very interested in Skype, but it does not mean that he is willing to be slaughtered, and if it is not a very suitable price, Xiao Qi must be selling badly.

Therefore, childcare is necessary.

This time, Xiao Qi didn’t look for a few fund companies he was familiar with, but rather openly let out the news that he wanted to sell Skype, and then Tong Wencong went to Wall Street’s fund companies to find some old guys to act this time. Childcare reads();.

There are companies that seriously want to make inquiries and there are childcare services, which will make Microsoft more nervous.

Wall Street is a very realistic place. Only here is the discussion about the unfair treatment of Skype in Europe. As soon as he heard that Xiao Qi was going to sell Skype, he immediately put into consideration and contention.

Just how good skype is. A year ago, before Xiao Qi bought it, everyone didn't feel much about it.

However, after Xiao Qi's rectification and new development concepts were put forward, the soaring rapid development of Skype in such a period of half a year made everyone stunned.

In the past few years, skype was actually developed in Europe, and skype was originally invented by Europeans, but they have not been able to do it in the European market. Therefore, European telecommunications companies don’t even look at them, let alone investigate. Suppressed.

From the panic suppression of Skype by the communications sector of the European Union, we can know how fast its development is.

Not to mention the various performance growth data released by skype every month, that is a real market!

Skype is a network instant messaging. Its business scope is all over the world. It can cover the middle and high-end developed countries with 2 billion people. But such a large market, let alone all, even if it only occupies one-third, it is also two The United States is so big, what a coveted future income expectation is this?

Since online shopping can finally be evenly matched with physical store shopping, at least online communication can also be evenly matched with online communication, right?

With such thoughts, they all started various inquiries and plans one after another, and Skype's Lande was naturally overwhelmed by the crowd.

As one of the founders of Skype, in today's situation, Lande hopes that European and American companies can take over, so that Skype can continue to maintain its current development momentum.

It is a pity that Xiao Qi occupies 96 pairs of holdings, and their management totals only 4%. Of course, they have no say.

Even now, Xiao Qiming handed over the right to negotiate to their management, but in the end, he still has no foundation.

Of course ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This does not prevent their management from actively contacting outside investors. They also hope that Xiao Qi can let go of skype based on the right price. After all, if Xiao Qi can make money, sell The chance of dropping Skype is even greater.

As a result, Wall Street in the past few days has immediately turned into a flood of news.

"The Cowell Consortium bid 8.8 billion US dollars and wants to acquire skype wholly."

"The Duke of Saatchi of the United Kingdom quoted 10 billion U.S. dollars. He wants to include Skype in his pocket so that Skype can really take root in Europe."

"The Saudi National Consortium made a bold offer of 13 billion U.S. dollars and wanted to use skype to enter the network communication market. These Middle Easterners are too rich and have a good vision!"

"Prince Dumer of Kuwait arrived in the U.S. secretly. It is said that he will bring a sincere offer and wants to impress Skype!"

"Mr. Xiao Qi, a good friend of Citibank President Jabil, is a lobbyist for Mexican communications giant Carlos. Central and South American telecom giants want to go global!"
