Xu Qing's days are leisurely and sufficient, spending some time dealing with work every day, and more time spending time with Sophia, reading books, exercising, surfing the Internet, and playing with the 4 little ones.

However, Xu Qing's leisure was soon ruined, and Xu Qing received a notice from the American government that they would conduct an antitrust investigation into Xu Qing's company.

When Xu Qing saw this notice, he was mentally prepared, but it was still quite painful.

He knew that sooner or later his company would face an antitrust investigation, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Since the U.S. government wants to investigate his company's anti-monopoly investigation, it shows that Xu Qing's political allies have not suppressed the forces that want to investigate Xu Qing's company.

Xu Qing's major companies are all super companies, and it has never been so simple to investigate a company of this level, and there are countless forces competing behind it.

Before Xu Qingchun's Day, he heard from his allies that there were forces pushing the U.S. government to conduct an antitrust investigation into Xu Qing's company.

A few days ago, his allies told him that the U.S. government would launch an antitrust investigation into Xu Qing's company in the near future.

Today this announcement is coming.

Anti-monopoly investigations can be said to be very powerful, but they can also be said to be not very powerful.

The power of anti-monopoly investigations depends on the competition and compromise of various forces.

For the former telecommunications empire AT&T, it is very powerful.

At its most glorious time, AT&T was several times more powerful than all of Xu Qing's current companies combined.

That is, because it is so awesome, many forces united to deal with AT&T, which eventually led to the dismantling of AT&T.

An AT&T company, which was split into 8 companies.

For Microsoft and Google, which are in another time and space, the antitrust investigation is not very powerful.

The U.S. Department of Justice once sued Microsoft for monopoly, and the evidence of the monopoly was almost collected by the Department of Justice, and Microsoft was about to be broken up.

But the court overturned the Justice Department's evidence, and Microsoft avoided being split.

And the judge entrusted by the Ministry of Justice to play a monopoly with Microsoft was fired by the federal court, and the water behind it is very deep.

A few years later, Microsoft was subject to another antitrust investigation, this time a number of states in the United States jointly sued Microsoft for antitrust, and many countries in Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries also sued Microsoft for antitrust.

It stands to reason that this time Microsoft should be just the fate of being torn apart.

However, Microsoft was still alive and well by the time Xu Qing was reborn.

Some of these lawsuits have been won, but for Microsoft, they are insignificant.

That's how awesome Microsoft is.

AT&T shareholders fainted in tears in Bill Gates' office.

Another major Internet giant, Google, has been under antitrust investigations, but most of these investigations have come from countries outside the United States.

Among them, Europe is the most active, often suing Google for antitrust, Google has been fined some money, but nothing else.

Speaking of which, Europe seems to be very fond of suing the world's major companies for antitrust.

These companies are also helpless, they still want to do business in Europe, so they can only fine some money to Europe.

It's interesting that Europe has been able to maintain its fiscal balance thanks to the fines of these large corporations.

This time, the U.S. government mainly conducted an antitrust investigation against Future Group.

Xu Qing's other companies are not yet leaders in their respective industries, so how to conduct anti-monopoly investigations, they will make jokes.

And the Future Group, to say that it has a monopoly on the Internet, is definitely impossible.

No company can monopolize the Internet, the Internet is too big.

The main business of Future Group is FF instant messaging software, future community, and extraordinary browser.

These three businesses have reached monopoly in terms of monopoly standards.

FF instant messaging software, invincible, no one can fight, and now there are very few instant messaging software in the world.

FF instant messaging software occupies 80% of the global share, and in some countries, it has even reached more than 95%, a proper monopoly.

The future community, with a global share of more than 60%, has also reached the standard of monopoly.

Extraordinary Browser, with a global share of more than 55%, still meets the monopoly standard.

Since the truce between Extraordinary Browser and Internet Explorer, the share of Extraordinary Browser has grown faster and faster.

In fact, according to the installed capacity, IE browser is higher than extraordinary browser, as long as there is a computer with indos system, there is IE browser.

The global share of the INDOS system has reached more than 92%, which is very awesome, much better than FF instant messaging software.

However, the technology of the extraordinary browser has exploded the use experience of IE, so many Internet users throw the IE browser into the corner and regard the extraordinary browser as the main browser.

Xu Qing's reason is that the IE browser in this time and space will be better, but it is still a bad product.

The share of the original Internet Explorer was completely blown up by Google Chrome, and the global share of Google Chrome is more than 60%.

Extraordinary Browser is only 55% right now, and there is still work to be done.

Eh, the U.S. government has already investigated the future group antitrust, what else is needed?

Yes, there is still work to be done.

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to the U.S. government's antitrust investigation.

Because the intensity of this anti-monopoly investigation will not be as big as the investigation of AT&T, Xu Qing estimates that it is similar to the original investigation of Microsoft.

If the U.S. government really made up its mind to investigate Microsoft, Microsoft would definitely be broken up.

Everyone can see that Microsoft has a monopoly on the computer desktop operating system.

Whether in the United States or around the world, the share of Microsoft's indos system is more than 90%, this is not a monopoly, what is a monopoly.

But the U.S. government needed the indos system to occupy the Internet in countries around the world, so in the end Microsoft was not split.

AT&T is different, his business is basically in the United States, and he can't help the American government control other countries, what do you want, demolish!

Future Group is not the same as Microsoft and AT&T.

There is neither Microsoft's indos system that firmly occupies the Internet in various countries, nor is AT&T's basic business in the United States.

Future Group's share in various countries is not bad, and the U.S. government may need Xu Qing's Internet in various countries in the future to do something, and splitting Future Group is not the best choice.

The antitrust investigation came at a good time, and Xu Qing took the opportunity to make major adjustments to his various companies, including the sale of some businesses.

Xu Qing increasingly felt that an Internet bubble was brewing.

The Internet bubble is inevitable, even if Xu Qing suddenly emerges in this time and space to become the world's No. 1 Internet company.

The main reason for the Internet bubble is that investors are chasing the Internet too high, which can be seen from the market value of the major Internet.

Today's Internet companies simply can't afford such a high market capitalization, and the bubble will inevitably burst.

Xu Qingdu feels that the valuation of his Future Group is a bit high, and the latest valuation is more than $70 billion.

It's really a valuation a day, and the valuation of Future Group before the Spring Festival was only more than 40 billion US dollars.

In more than half a year, it has risen by more than 30 billion US dollars, which is too high.
