Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The European Union's investigation directive on Skype was released on the afternoon of the same day, Eastern Time, triggering great controversy.

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

    ¡°But Fairy Company is not listed. Xiao Qi holds 96% of Skype¡¯s shares and has enough money to develop, so Skype¡¯s situation is much calmer than people expected.

    After all, starting various investigations does not mean that Skype will officially cease operations, and Fairy Company has an extremely large network of contacts and the best team of lawyers, so the outside world generally believes that this is just an exchange and compromise of interests.

    Skype will definitely lose something, but that doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s the end.

    The reaction from the United States was naturally not that fast.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce and relevant departments will target Skype based on the EU's investigation results. Because Skype is a company operating in the United States and most of its employees are Americans, so it is appropriate to be cautious.

    ¡°Furthermore, Xiao Qi has too many investments and too many stakeholders in the United States, so the investigation in the United States is destined to be less aggressive than in Europe, and the final level of restrictions will not be as high as in Europe.

    Therefore, now some media in Europe are discussing the legality of the government's actions, while many newspapers and magazines in the United States, especially the many wealthy people who have business dealings with Xiao Qi, have begun to violently criticize the EU.

    "I never knew that opening a network communications company could involve so many issues. Are you jealous?" Qiao Gangzhu, chairman of Apple.

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

    "I just said it. Why is the development of emerging technologies in Europe not as good as that in the United States? It's because they are too closed. They don't want to develop new technologies at all. Instead, they are closed. They don't allow high technologies to enter their countries! Skype is undoubtedly  Have the power to change the world, but they still refuse." Citibank eo Jabil.

    ""

    The United States is still doing well, but the Chinese side is about to explode.

    Regardless of whether they know about Skype or not, China has not yet allowed Skype to enter operation. Public opinion has directed its artillery fire at the EU and launched a massive crusade against them.

    "Damn it, they say Americans are ruthless, and these Europeans are ruthless too. What do they think of our country? Free trade on the surface. Look at what they are doing?"

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

    "Tch, these bastards still want us to keep buying their stuff and importing their various technical products? Why? Are you only allowed to make our money?"

    "What a fool! They use this old trick to deal with the Chinese people. Why should we have to suffer?"

    "It is recommended that the country investigate all German and French cars, British finance, Spanish agricultural products We suspect that these things contain factors that are detrimental to Chinese people, and apply for a 10-year stay at the port for investigation before entering the country!"

    "Seconded!"

    ""

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country has also expressed concern about this.  It is said that several ambassadors were also invited to come over for discussion.

    But that¡¯s of no use.

    People only see the dependence of Europe and the United States on the Chinese market, but they do not think about how dependent China is on the European and American markets.

    in this world.  The only people who have money and are willing to buy things are Japan, South Korea, and developed countries in Europe and the United States. If we lose this market, it will be the heaviest blow to China's modernization drive.

    Precisely because they know that we cannot do without them, they use various methods to take advantage. For the sake of the overall situation, China can only swallow its anger. It is easy for you to fall out, but the Philippines, India, Indonesia and other countries.  But I hope you will fall out, because they sell many small commodities, industrial products, etc.  You can seize the market of original Chinese products!

    This is the same reason why Xiao Qi did not fall out with the Europeans.

    He could have acted on his impulse and directly announced that he would stop selling Fairy Company products in Europe.  This will make European fans very dissatisfied with the government's actions and exert strong pressure.

    But in this way, he will benefit from Apple, Samsung, Sony, HT and other companies. If the products of these companies dominate the market while Fairy Company's products are withdrawing, Fairy Company will want to return to these companies.  Market??, it will take at least ten times more effort!

    It¡¯s okay to get angry when something happens, but you must not lose your mind, otherwise you will lose more.

    Take the current situation as an example. Countries in the European Union are investigating Skype. Not only can Xiao Qi¡¯s Fairy Company not close down, but on the contrary, it must increase investment in the European market and strive to make more money so that it can save its own business.  loss.

    Why didn¡¯t Xiao Qi buy K and R, but only took part of the shares?

    Aren¡¯t you just afraid that they will be feared by European and American countries, causing huge losses?

    The current K and R are very good. Xiao Qi can not only have a certain influence on them, but also be able to share the benefits brought by their growth. He does not have to worry about the same experience as Skype.

    Under the current situation, unless Xiao Qi¡¯s power can be greater than all the EU¡¯s telecommunications industry combined, Skype will definitely be sold.

    ¡°Obviously, if these communications industries were in China, Xiao Qi would not be able to say that he would be able to get involved, let alone one or two of them are local cowards, and they are local cowards who are known for being conservative and stubborn.

    You have to sell Skype when you want to sell it, but how to sell it and who to sell it to are still very particular.

    Ballmer is very interested in Skype, but it does not mean that he is willing to be ripped off. If it is not a very suitable price, Xiao Qi will definitely sell it badly.

    Therefore, child care is necessary.

    This time, Xiao Qi was not looking for a few familiar fund companies. Instead, he openly announced that he wanted to sell Skype. Then Tong Wencong went to a Wall Street fund company to find a few old guys to act as managers this time.  shill.

    There are companies that are serious about making inquiries and there are also shills, which will make Microsoft even more nervous.

    Wall Street is a very realistic place. Here we are discussing the unfair treatment of Skype in Europe. As soon as they heard that Xiao Qi wanted to sell Skype, they immediately threw themselves into consideration and competition.

    How good Skype is, a year ago, before Xiao Qi bought it, no one had much idea.

    ¡°But according to Xiao Qi¡¯s rectification and new development concepts, Skype¡¯s rapid development in such a period of more than half a year has left everyone stunned.

    In the past few years, Skype was also developing in Europe, and Skype was originally invented by Europeans, but they have never taken off in the European market, so European communication companies did not even look at them, let alone investigate.  Suppressed.

    From the fact that the European Union¡¯s communications department panicked and suppressed Skype, we can know how rapidly it has developed.

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

    Skype is an instant messaging network. Its business scope is all over the world. It covers at least 2 billion people in mid-to-high-end developed countries. And for such a large market, let alone occupying all of it, even if it only occupies one-third, it is still two  The United States is so big, how coveted is this future income expectation?

    Since online shopping can eventually be on par with physical store shopping, then at least online communication can also be on par with offline communication, right?

    With this idea in mind, they all began to inquire and make various plans. Naturally, Eo Langde on Skype was overwhelmed by the crowd.

    As one of the founders of Skype, under the current circumstances, Lande hopes that European and American companies can take over, so that Skype can continue to maintain its current development momentum.

    It¡¯s a pity that Xiao Qi occupies 96% of the absolute control, and their management only has 4% in total. Of course, they have no say.

    Even now, Xiao Qiming has ostensibly given the power of negotiation to their management, but he still has no idea what will happen in the end.

    Of course, this does not prevent their management from actively contacting outside investors. They also hope that Xiao Qi can let go of Skype if the price is right. After all, if Xiao Qi can make money, the chance of selling Skype will be very small.  bigger.

    So in the past few days, Wall Street has suddenly become filled with all kinds of news.

    ¡°The Cowell Consortium bids US$8.8 billion to fully acquire Skype.¡±

    "The Duke of Saatchi of the United Kingdom has offered 10 billion US dollars to acquire Skype, so that Skype can truly take root in Europe."

    ¡°It¡¯s shocking that the Saudi national consortium has made a generous offer of US$13 billion to enter the network communications market through Skype. These Middle Easterners are too rich and have good vision!¡±

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

    "Mr. Xiao Qi's friend Citibank"He laid off Jabil and served as a lobbyist for Mexican communications giant Carlos. The Central and South American telecommunications giant wants to go global!  "
