Cisco sent a survey vessel to collect data, and it takes a long time to return a message. At present, the AOL alliance is divided, and each of them forms a small alliance to carry out mergers and acquisitions of worl, which is much easier to swallow than the MCI telecom giant!

After 1990, the company developed rapidly, by annexing other telecommunications companies, and later became the largest telecommunications giant in the United States after AT&T. Among them, the most well-known acquisition action is the acquisition of MCI, which was worth $37 billion at the time, and the Tier-1-ISP, the backbone of the American Internet, UU!

However, UU was acquired by Cisco and renamed worl!

WorldCom was originally very good, but the company's CEO liked to invest in stocks, and then the company's performance fell sharply!!

It seems that Henry's arrival has had a butterfly effect, causing the Worl company to hang up several years earlier......

……

Since the unpleasant quarrel with Citibank and Morgan Bank, Cisco has begun to look for other banks to cooperate, and plans to acquire a small and medium-sized bank in California, and then develop and grow into the economic pillar of the Williams consortium in the future! At present, it is already looking for a suitable acquisition target!

During this time, the U.S. telecommunications industry was in full swing!

Isearch launched Isearch Tieba during this time!

As soon as the post bar comes out, it's really invincible!

Not to mention how other search engines survive, just say that the Isearch search engine, its popularity has increased greatly, and its popularity is simply a 100-meter sprint, catching up with the feeling of the global online!

As the No. 1 portal, Global Online has so much traffic that the last nine don't add up to as much as it has!

Global Online can be described as coquettish and unbeatable!

But now the Isearch search engine suddenly seemed to have taken a stimulant, and it accelerated and chased after it. Isearch Encyclopedia is enough to attract netizens, and Isearch Tieba is even worse! Countless netizens stay in Tieba for a long time to post, chat, fart, and have fun. Isearch Tieba is divided into many interest groups, so netizens can find like-minded people in the groups they are interested in.

Isearch stickers have a strong stickiness, so more and more netizens use Isearch, which also makes the advertising fee on Isearch a lot more expensive!

As of November 1, 1989, the number of registered users of Isearch has exceeded 500,000. Now there are only more than 3 million Internet users, and 500,000 already accounts for one-sixth, such terrifying data can completely crush other search engines!

Compare the data to see how big the gap is!

Isearch search registered users, half a million.

AOL searches for registered users, five thousand.

500,000 vs. 5,000, it's a world of difference!!

As for Isearch-adsense, it will take a while for it to be officially launched, not because this feature is difficult to do, but because Isearch is actively contacting websites and advertisers, and when it is officially launched, it will have a sensational effect, so that it can have the most shocking effect in the first month!!

Isearch-adsense can also be an instant hit!

When the time comes, the value will double, and you need the money of advertisers to ask for more!!

Now, AOL has been beaten on the Internet and has no power to fight back, and two or three other search engines have gone bankrupt! There is a saying, I don't kill Beren, Boren died because of me, so Isearch is very merciful and generous to casually dump one or two million to buy them!

The cost of searching, servers and broadband is very large, and AOL seems to have seen the weakness of its own search engine, and in order to save money, it has begun to gradually withdraw from the market!

Now, AOL wants nothing more than to buy WORL!

Sequoia Capital, Citigroup, and Morgan have all said they will fully support AOL's acquisition of WORL. AOL has also officially made a request to WORL to acquire the company!

At this juncture, Cisco, together with Nicholas and Global Online, acquired a small and medium-sized bank in California for only $500 million, and renamed the bank "Williams Bank"! Williams Bank mainly has more than a dozen branches near Silicon Valley, and the scale is not large, with less than one million deposit users and less than 4 billion deposit funds.

But it doesn't matter, Rome wasn't built in a day, take your time!

However, the news of the joint acquisition of banks by Cisco and other companies has caused a huge sensation in the media! Although mergers and acquisitions between banks occur from time to time in the United States, it is not unusual at all. But this time it's different, who are the people who bought the bank this time?

The first company is Cisco, with a market value of more than 60 billion!

The second company is the Nicholas Group Company, with a market value of 45 billion for the Nicholas shopping network and 8 billion for the IMDB website!

The third company is Global Online, which is currently the largest Internet traffic company and the most optimistic company for investors, with senior Wall Street analysts claiming that as long as Global Online is listed, the market value will immediately soar to $60 billion. You must know that Global Online also has a Netscape browser, and the market value of Netscape has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars!! and more importantly, Global Online is also the first company in the Internet website to achieve profitability, and other websites are still losing money! This alone adds a lot of points to Global Online!

The significance behind the joint acquisition of a bank by a three-headed giant crocodile company is extraordinary!

If you say that you are just going to make a small fuss, ask whom, and no one will believe it?

Major media have sent reporters to three companies for interviews!

Subsequently, Nicholas Group CEO Geely Hurt and Cisco CEO John Chambers and Global Online CEO Jonathan Jackson (formerly Netscape CEO and now promoted) jointly held a press conference to respond to major media outlets.

Reporter: "Excuse me, why did the three of you want to jointly acquire a company? There are rumors that the three of you are all backed by the same boss, but is the rumor true?!!?"

John Chambers smiled and said calmly: "Rumors will only chase after the wind, and of course they are not worth believing." As for why we want to jointly acquire a bank, it is actually very simple, because all three of us are Internet companies, and each other is a very important strategic partner! Therefore, there is nothing to make a fuss about in a joint acquisition of a bank!"

"Excuse me, since the three of your companies are all large companies with a market value of tens of billions, what will you do next after you buy the bank?"

"In the first phase, we will increase our efforts to build more branches to attract more customers. Of course, what we are most passionate about is the direct acquisition of other banks!!"

"The capital giant is extraordinary, and he opens his mouth to say that mergers and acquisitions are !!," the reporter sighed in his heart.

……

The press conference is still going on, and the three CEOs are very good at dealing with media reporters, and they don't have to worry about Henry at all, let him go, and he may not be able to! He is the one behind the scenes, and he likes the feeling of secretly controlling everything! Maybe one day he will come to the forefront, but now, he doesn't want to. Henry is not yet 15 years old, if he walks to the front desk, he will not be shocked and stupid? At least when he is older, he will take Apple, get the iPhone out, and then have a product launch conference, and pretend to be B like Jobs!

As a result, the whole world called itself the father of smartphones and changed the world...... The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't imagine it!!

Henry drove to the cinema at this time to watch a movie, "Ghost Love"!

Today is the premiere of "Ghost Love", and Henry arrives in a gray casual suit. The premiere was quite lively, Nicole Kidman on stage was wearing a white dress, black high heels, and responding to reporters' questions with a smile, looking not timid at all!

As she swept across the stage and noticed Henry, Henry gestured with his eyes and gestures for him to wait for her backstage.

Nicole Kidman nodded at him without a trace.

Henry walked past the crowd, went backstage, sat down in a chair, picked up a newspaper and read it. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Nicole Kidman came backstage with the staff of Galaxy Films.

"Mr. Williams, I'm glad you're here for the premiere of 'The Ghost Is Not Dead!'" Nicole Kidman laughed.

"Hehe, don't forget, I'm the screenwriter of 'Ghost Love'!" Henry said, "Well, what are your plans after filming this film? Do you want to continue filming, or take a break?"

"After a break, I'm going to go back to Australia. ”

"It's okay to go home!" Henry nodded, "By the way, I've heard that private Australians can buy freehold land, is it true?"

"Yes, that's right!" Nicole Kidman's family is a big landowner, and they know this very well.

"Then after you go back, help me pay attention to what is a good place, I want to buy a farm, a winery or something, and go there for a vacation when I have free time, it seems to be quite interesting!"

"Oh, okay, no problem. Nicole Kidman nodded.

Henry looked at his watch and said, "The movie is about to start, let's go to the cinema!"

"Hmm. ”

Henry and Nicole Kidman went to the cinema together. It didn't take long for the film to start screening. Henry looked at it, it was not far from the movie in his previous life, and the most touching was the part of making pottery, the picture was so lingering, and with the classic music of "Unrestrained Melody", it was really impressive. Henry looked at Nicole Kidman beside him, and Nicole Kidman seemed to notice that Henry was looking at her, and her face turned slightly red!

"Well acted, I'm jealous!" Henry whispered.

"I'm not your girlfriend, what's the jealousy?"

"Not now, but later! Do you still like someone else after seeing a man as good and handsome as me? I think you must already like me now!"

"Less narcissistic, who likes you, little pervert!" Nicole Kidman scolded with a soft laugh.

"Hehe......" Henry smiled noncommittally.

After the movie was shown, many women in the cinema were in tears, and Henry knew that the movie "Ghost Love" was a success!

"Nicole, after today, you'll be a Hollywood movie superstar!!"

"I have to thank you, the key is that the script you wrote is so good! I think as long as it is played by another person, it must be very wonderful and touching!"

"Okay, you'll invite me to dinner someday. I'm going to have a one-man dinner!"

“……”

Out of the movie theater, Nicole Kidman drove back. Henry wasn't just here to watch a movie, he also had something to talk to Bobby Robin, the CEO of Galaxy Pictures. Bobby Robin had already received a call from Henry and was waiting outside the movie theater after watching the movie. When Henry arrived, he greeted him and went to a nearby café.

"Bobby Robin, here's my new screenplay 'Desert Island Aftermath!'" Henry handed him a stack of manuscripts.

Bobby Robin took it and quickly skimmed through it, "Chairman, this script is very good and interesting!"

Henry nodded, and then said: ""The Rest of the Desert Island" is best directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks! And I deliberately set the identity of the actor played by Tom Hanks as an employee of the courier company, in order to promote the Nicholas Express Company, so in the movie, we must show the excellence of the Nicholas Express Company to the fullest! In other words, this is an image promotional film of the Nicholas Express Company!!

Bobby Robin was slightly stunned, making a movie just to promote a courier company, it's awesome!! (Book friend group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join! In addition, ask for tickets, thank you for your support!)
