The global online and ICQ portals have accounted for more than 90% of the market share of the portals, and the monopoly is too fierce, which the US government does not allow.

In this anti-monopoly investigation, the one most likely to be split and sold is "Global Online"!

In that case, then sell Global Online.

However, before selling Global Online, Henry decided to spin off Twitter.

Henry then told everyone what he meant, and the major shareholders of Global Online also understood that once the anti-monopoly investigation was completed, Global Online would not be able to hide, and the government would definitely ask Henry to sell Global Online!

It's just that these major shareholders of Global Online don't want to spin off Twitter, after all, Global Online owns Twitter, the market value will be much higher, and it is also good for the development of Global Online!

Therefore, when they heard that Henry was going to split Twitter, their faces were unnatural, and some people objected on the spot: "It's okay to sell it online globally, but Twitter can't be split off!!

Then, many shareholders chimed in.

"Yes, you can sell Global Online, but you can't spin off Twitter. ”

"Twitter is becoming more and more important, it is the core asset of the global online network, and it must not be spun off!"

"Mr. Williams, you can't lose everyone's interests for the sake of your own interests!"

"yes!"

“……”

Hearing their words, there was a faint anger on Henry's face, but. He endured it!

As required by U.S. monopoly law, Henry would sell his shares. And these minority shareholders will also hold shares in Global Online, so. They don't want Henry to split Twitter. However, they don't want to know whose idea is Twitter!

Fortunately, Henry had the patent filed, and the patent was his own and not globally online.

"Okay, then don't split Twitter!" Henry said lightly, "but the idea of Twitter is what I wanted, and even the patent rights are in my hands." Global Online will give me a patent fee every year from now on!"

The shareholders of Global Online were still very happy when they heard the previous sentence, but Henry's latter sentence made everyone very unhappy, but they were helpless.

Jonathan Jackson asked, "Mr. Williams, who are you going to sell the company to?"

"Hmph, you contact AOL, see if they want to!" Henry had a strange smile on his face.

"Okay!" Jonathan Jackson nodded, "I guess they're more than willing to buy Global Online, but." AOL may not have any money!"

"There will be money...... "Henry laughs, "hehe, there will be a bank to lend them money! I don't think the other shareholders seem to be willing to sell their shares!"

After Henry finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the large and small shareholders of Global Online, and then paused. He continued: "I would cash out some of my shares in the stock market and then sell the rest to AOL! Global Online's market capitalization is more than $200 billion. I currently hold 67.5% of my shares, and I intend to cash out 17.5% in the stock market. Then there are 50% left. They just need to use another $100 billion to buy my shares! AOL really can't scrape together the money, so they can join others to buy it. I don't care. Of course......" Henry laughed, "if all the major shareholders here are interested, I can sell them to you!

As soon as Henry's words were finished, there were already people in these people who were moved.

Global online is growing in a good situation and its market capitalization is getting higher and higher.

"Mr. Williams, I'm going to buy ......"

Someone immediately said urgently, but Henry interrupted with a smile, "The person who wants to buy my shares is looking for Jonathan Jackson, wait for him to count the number, and then trade together!"

"Yes, okay!" the man said, nodding.

The meeting was not over yet, and at this time, the U.S. government had already announced that it would conduct an antitrust investigation into Williams Network.

Immediately, the media was in an uproar.

Outside the conference room, a female secretary knocked on the door in a panic, hurriedly ran to Henry's side, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Chairman, no, the U.S. government has just announced that it will conduct an antitrust investigation against Williams Network!"

Henry said lightly: "I know, you go out!"

"Yes!"

The female secretary walked out, and Henry smiled very calmly and said to everyone: "Just now my secretary told me that the U.S. government has officially announced that it will conduct an anti-monopoly investigation against us! Okay, let's go back! Hire a good lawyer and prepare for a lawsuit!"

"Yes!!"

Nearly 1,000 people around stood up, and then walked out of the conference room one by one!

The U.S. government's antitrust investigation of Williams Network is not a single company in Global Online, but a number of Internet companies including Nicholas Group, Isearch, etc. At present, Henry has only made arrangements for Global Online, and the fact that other companies have not made arrangements does not mean that it is safe, and a lawyer must be hired to fight a lawsuit, otherwise the company will be sold, and how will Henry play!

Nicholas international e-commerce is also suspected of monopoly, but it is far less strong than the global online, only accounting for about 70% of the market, but it is also very likely to be split and sold.

In addition, ICQ is also suspected of monopoly. However, there are still a lot of instant messaging software, such as Microsoft MSN-messenger, AOL IM and so on.

Isearch is basically a monopoly, but its monopoly relies on global online.

Once Global Online is sold, and it doesn't work with Isearch, then there is no monopoly on Isearch!

However, without the support of Isearch, I am afraid that its market share will be greatly reduced.

Without Google's support, Yahoo's results plummeted, especially when Google launched its own website search homepage, Yahoo's traffic plummeted, and then declined!

At present, Isearch only provides search services for other websites, and does not have its own website search homepage!

The reason why Henry did not open the homepage of this search website is that it is not necessary, after all, Global Online is his own, and it is not interesting to grab its traffic, and secondly, he keeps a hand, as if it is the current situation......

Henry is going to sell Global Online to AOL, and he is actually pitting it!

Wouldn't it be a loss for AOL to spend a lot of money to buy Global Online, but then the traffic was to be snatched up by Isearch? Google's existence has made Yahoo collapse, and Isearch can also make Global Online like Yahoo......

……

The antitrust investigation into Williams Network soon spread throughout the United States.

On the same day, the market value of Henry's Internet companies all decreased, which in turn caused the stock price of the entire Internet concept stock to plummet!

The market value of Global Online fell from $235 billion to $210 billion, and it evaporated by $25 billion at once! Henry was taken aback, the Internet bubble should not burst at this time, my brother has not cashed out to make a lot of money!
