Back To 1995

   Chapter 704

  It is a good thing for the stock price to soar. The directors of major companies in America, who do not want the stock price to soar, means that their worth will also soar. When cashing out, even if they only cash out a little equity, they can make a lot of money.

But if the stock price goes up, the board of directors feels a little scary. ICQ's stock price has a huge shock today. The market value has directly rushed to 115 billion US dollars, which has soared by more than 10% compared with yesterday. ICQ's market value of 100 billion US dollars has soared by as much as 10 billion US dollars in one day!

Of course it is a good thing that the market value has risen, but this method of rising will be even more deadly if it falls. At this time, Wall Street likes to cut leeks the most, and they can use a wave to coax a large number of leeks into the car at high prices. Then cut it hard.

  ICQ issued an announcement, claiming that in a short period of time, the mobile network will not bring much change to the revenue of America Telecom and ICQ.

After all, the mobile network market is still too small, and the scale of global 2G users is too small. At least we have to wait until the number of users in this industry exceeds 100 million before we can start cutting leeks, otherwise it will be a tree without roots. , the wind will dissipate, ICQ is telling the leeks, don't get too excited, the Wall Street side has fooled all of their worth into it.

   But the chives who are in a state of frenzy did not listen to the announcement at all, and some chives even spoke up, questioning that ICQ was cooperating with Wall Street, deliberately suppressing the stock price and preventing them from getting on the train!

   There are even more outrageous voices. ICQ is playing tricks. It is rumored that ICQ will make big moves this year, and will continue to acquire companies and form a super giant company in the history of America.

   Now, there are Internet, telecommunications, and media services, so what's the difference?

   is undoubtedly the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment is also the computer, the handheld and the mobile phone. The business of the computer and the handheld is not in Song Yang's hands, but the mobile phone business does!

  If ICQ acquires Alcatel Mobile, then ask, who else in America can stop ICQ from becoming the world's largest market value giant, not even Microsoft and General Electric!

As soon as this rumor came out, it spread to the whole of America in an instant. After all, this gimmick is really attractive. The acquisition of Alcatel mobile phones is a great opportunity for ICQ. Both are the same big sponsor. .

  I don't know, who concocted it, ICQ wanted to acquire Alcatel Mobile News, and ICQ's stock price soared like crazy. The previous announcement basically became waste paper.

As a last resort, ICQ issued several announcements in succession, declaring that it would not enter the terminal equipment market, and Alcatel Mobile also stated that it would not be merged, but these explanations are useless at all. I just don't want to make a fortune with the leeks!

  ICQ's share price skyrocketed, and its major shareholders, Telegraph Group, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, etc., also benefited. As ICQ's nominal second largest shareholder, Telegraph Group's share price also rose crazy.

Regarding this situation, the Telephone and Telegraph Group is both excited and a little worried. The key is that these are obtained out of thin air. The Telephone and Telegraph Group has not done anything at all, but some people suspect that they have done it, and they keep buying them. stock of...

   Telephone and Telegraph Group knows that the current surge will be realized in the future, that is, it needs to increase its performance, but what is the Telephone and Telegraph Group, where can I get these results!

  Some people are happy, while others are unlucky. When P2 phones were sold out in America, the stock prices of several major record groups plummeted across the board. The news of "the wolf is coming" spread throughout the record industry.

  The news of the advent of the "digital music era" is rumored, and in the new quarter, the revenue of the record industry has ushered in decades of decline in performance, which has made several major record groups even worse.

"Saipan Music Store" has also released the results of the past two days. A total of 31,000 songs have been sold. The data is not very good, but it is an old music copyright library that can still be sold. There are more than 30,000 songs, but it shows that digital music seems to have a head!

What really attracts attention are the two major music sites Scour and Napster, as well as other small music sites. The users have ushered in an epic explosion. The global users of Scour’s website exceeded 30 million, and Napster’s users also exceeded 16 million. .

The key is user activity. Double-click the company's global ranking website, Alexa. Family!

  Double-click the company. After the listing, although it was a little inconspicuous, it was not idle. It acquired many small companies back and forth. For example, Alexa, which counts website user traffic and activity, is one of them.

With the acquisition of Alexa, the double-click has the right to speak in the ranking of the global website. Invisibly, it can affect the valuation of this website. Coupled with the placement of Internet advertising, it controls the American Internet Advertising Association. Double-click is quite the taste of the uncrowned king. , Amelia large and small sites, can not avoid double-click!

  Double-click Recently, we are also planning to make a big move to launch an acquisition of Nielsen Data, the world's largest market research company!

   If this acquisition can be completed, it will basically establish the status of DoubleClick. Song Yang is also planning to hand over the domain name business in the hands of the Internet Society to DoubleClick for operation to maintain "neutrality".

  With the popularity of the global Internet, domain names have also become valuable. When the American Internet Society was established before, Song Yang, in the name of the Internet Society, hoarded a large number of Internet domain names, and now he can start to sell slowly!

First-hand domain names, first-hand website ranking names, data statistics business, advertising business, double-click in the future, may not become giants like ICQ and Yahoo, but they will never be eliminated by the market, and may survive a lot, a lot Years, as long as the Internet exists, it will live forever...

The ranking of Scour's daily active users ranks among the top ten websites, which is enough to show the popularity of digital music. According to rumors, the daily downloads of music on Scour have exceeded 500,000, and of course they do not give money. , almost a hundred times as many as Saipan's music store.

   This is just the Scour website. Add up the rest, and you can imagine how big the download volume is. It is not impossible to surpass the sales of physical albums!

   Affected by these news, the stock prices of the major record groups fell sharply. It seems that the record stores all over the street will be closed tomorrow, and the record industry will be finished...

   "President Paulson, ICQ's stock price has risen sharply today. If it rises in a few days, we will be able to recoup all the money we invested in the past!"

At Goldman Sachs headquarters, Pelle Greeney flattered his boss and touted Paulson's wisdom. At such a high price to invest in ICQ, Goldman Sachs was still a little worried about whether it could lose money or not. will become a joke.

But now, these voices all exist, all of them touting Paulson's unique vision. ICQ has risen too fast. From the listing to the present, the stock price and market value have doubled many times, and there is no money printing machine. ICQ rose outrageous.

   "The news that ICQ is going to acquire Alcatel Mobile is really a good move. Now there are rumors in the market that ICQ is going to acquire Alcatel Mobile. If the acquisition is really completed, ICQ's market value will at least double!"

Pellegrini touted to Paulson. He believes that the news was spread by Paulson. After all, Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest beneficiaries. If it really buys Alcatel mobile phones, then ICQ will be completely There is a money printing machine. Goldman Sachs can definitely make a lot of money if there is a concept, a concept and a revenue.

   Hearing Pellet Greeney's words, Paulson's face couldn't help but feel a little smug, but when he heard Greeney mention that the news was that he let someone out, Paulson's face changed.

   "You don't know, who released this news?" Paulson asked Pellet Greeney in a deep voice.
