Chapter 555: Giant Merger

It is naturally impossible to choose anything, since they can't convince them, then there are only pajamas, Zhou Shi jumped into the water, regardless of the opposition of the two, and came to an unprecedented experience. It didn't feel very comfortable, but it was full of conquest.

The next day, although Zhou Shi succeeded half-pushed, the two women who regained their senses were immediately unhappy.

"You beast! Wang Xirui bit Zhou Shi's arm

"You know, if I were to choose between bad and worse, I would definitely choose worse. I made it a beast, if I don't do it, it's not a beast?" Zhou Shi lay between the two people, not wearing any clothes.

"Strong words, unreasonable!" Wang Xirui twisted and pushed away Zhou Shi's strange hand on her.

"It's just an excuse, since you don't want it, then I won't make excuses, I like both of you anyway, and I won't let you leave me. "Zhou Shi

"When did you become so domineering?" Li Ying also woke up at this time

"People are not overbearing, young people are vain!" Zhou Shi

"You're getting more and more shameless!" Wang Xirui

"People are not shameless teenagers!" Zhou Shi

"You $%%&&^$&^"

"People don't &%#ๆž‰ๅฐ‘ๅนด!" Zhou Shi

"*&&*^%^%$$" The two women were speechless for a moment

Next, the three of them did not say these troublesome things and threw themselves into the vacation. I also borrowed a cruise ship from a wealthy man to wander around Hawaii and dive. Except for the supreme experience of three people sleeping in the same bed again, everything seemed perfect.

At this time, all kinds of things in the outside world could not be brought to a standstill because of his vacation, and the news of the merger of Facebook and Friendster to form F&F was finally officially made public, and the United States actually approved the merger for the first time, without any scruples because of the antitrust law. You must know that at this time, MySpace was basically disabled, and the two companies basically had no competitors in the U.S. market, so how could they merge? Public opinion was in an uproar.

People in China also can't understand that Lei Jun and others are still in the United States to deal with the aftermath, but you can imagine what kind of turmoil there will be in domestic public opinion. This is the best Internet company in China, and it is also the most influential Internet company of Huaxia Enterprises overseas, why did it merge like this?

There is basically no major change in the shares of the new company, and the two sides are merged according to a one-to-one, with a three-three board of directors, three for Facebook, two for Friends, one for Time Holdings, and three seats for other investment institutions. The chairman is Xiao Zha, Lei Jun is the vice chairman, Xiao Zha and Lu Qi are both CEOs, and Shirley Sandberg is the COO of the new company. Friends owns 15 percent of the new company's shares, and Time Holdings owns 10 percent of the shares. In terms of voting rights, Zuckerberg has about 48% of the voting rights, and Friends.com has about 36% of the shares, and there are actually many problems with such a share distribution, but the various benefits after the merger still prompt various forces behind both parties to promote the merger, and Xiaozha is difficult to resist.

For this merger, there are many people who oppose it, whether it is a well-known person in Silicon Valley or a variety of well-known journalists in the media industry, the merger of these two companies will obviously have a great impact on other competitors, advertisers, and even have formed a monopoly, which is an indisputable thing, but unfortunately, the arm can not twist the thigh, although there will be some small twists and turns, but the general direction of the matter has been set, it is difficult to change.

In response to various public doubts, Zuckerberg and others announced their future operation plans, and the two companies will maintain independent operations and do not interfere with each other.......

Lei Jun, who also returned to China, also made a similar statement: "We did not sell the American Friends Network this time, but merged with Facebook, and still retained the influence of the new company, and the voting rights are not worse than the previous American Friends Network, but even more." This is a good thing for us, we can focus on expanding the company's domestic influence in China and developing the various businesses of the friend network in other regions......"

"Does this mean that Friends has stopped the pace of overseas expansion and will take contraction measures?" someone asked Lei Jun

"Friends' overseas business still exists, but in a different way. We have nothing to lose, and to a certain extent, we have also realized the value-added of the industry. "Lei Jun

The replies of Time and domestic friends were not satisfactory, and TV programs, including CCTV 2, began to have various interpretations of the acquisition. Although Friends has nothing to do with the domestic Internet market, it is the most successful enterprise in the internationalization of Internet companies.

"It may be that the legal risks of Friends.com overseas are too great, so they finally made such a decision. We compared the lawsuits faced by the two companies before, and apart from the patent lawsuits, it was fair to the two companies. But in terms of privacy protection, Facebook and Friendster are facing differential treatment, the same thing Facebook can do, but our Friendster cannot, in recent years, Facebook has faced no more than 10 large and small legal proceedings, but Friendster has more than 30 cases, the same excellent two companies face such differential treatment, which is obviously very abnormal, and this abnormality will continue. An expert from Analysys International came forward to wash the floor and gave a more reliable and acceptable explanation. Someone interviewed Lei Jun about this.

"We are considering it comprehensively, and the legal risks are only one of the aspects, and there will be challenges in any country and region, which is not the main reason why we chose to merge. โ€

Just when everyone was discussing the establishment of F&F, another even more shocking news came out, Tianhe Securities merged with some businesses of Milbank Securities and Morgan Stanley to form the world's largest securities company, Galaxy Milbar. What's even more surprising is that the company is dominated by Galaxy Capital. Although the outside world does not know the specific equity distribution, it can be seen that Lu He became the chairman of Galaxy Meibang Company, Gorman became the managing director, and the name of the new company can be seen that it is Galaxy Capital that occupies the dominant position. In fact, it is true that the equity distribution of Galaxy Smith Barney Securities is 50% of Galaxy Capital, 30% of Citigroup, and 20% of Morgan Stanley. Among them, there are many cash transactions and compensation between the three companies, so I won't go into detail one by one, after all, this is too complicated.

The two names of Lu He and Zhou Shi together shocked China again. There is no Chinese enterprise in the world that has such a huge influence and scale of financial enterprises. And the founder of this company is still an authentic Chinese.
