The seriously protracted advertising chain, indifferent high-level management, and disappointed users have made ICQ from a mysterious princess to an abandoned woman, completely depriving investors of their freshness and interest.

If you want to sell ICQ, you have to add a lot of new equipment, recruit a group of college graduates to pretend to be a technology development team, upgrade ICQ software, and finally fool around and kill a "Kaizi"!

Microsoft's computers and software are bundled together, and the addition of new computers and paid software alone is a significant expense. After the merger and acquisition of AOL Group and Warner Times Group, the market value increased to 350 billion US dollars, and just making money in the stock market can make a lot of money, where is not willing to waste time on the junk asset of ICQ.

Now, AOL Group has begun to clearly mark the price, ready to sell ICQ, a fixed price, 100 million US dollars!

Mom, who's going to want it?!

Usiris originally planned to use his personal connections to cut the price with Keith and buy ICQ at a 5% discount, but the development of things was completely unexpected by Ussy.

Steve Keys was very happy to hear that Usy was interested in ICQ, and asked his personal lawyer to send a copy of the "ICQ Equity Transfer Letter" on the spot, and directly dumped 52% of the equity to Usy at a low price of $27.27 million.

This is equivalent to the endorsement fee of $30 million that AOL Group needs to pay to Ussi for 10 years, excluding the $2.73 million that has been paid this year, which exactly offsets $27.23 million; As for what to do on the books and individual income tax, this does not need to be asked by Ussy, and the private lawyer and finance will handle it very properly!

ICQ was originally a subsidiary of the AOL Group, and after the merger, Steve Case still controlled the absolute management of ICQ without consulting Dan Rogan. It's just a division of junk assets, and it can't shake the foundation of AOL Time Warner Group at all.

In terms of external publicity, Wuxi Holdings acquired ICQ for 100 million US dollars, and everyone looks good!

Ussi did the math, and in the end, he didn't use a penny of liquidity, and he got 52% of ICQ's shares, reaching the absolute safety holding line.

For Steve Case, if ICQ is reborn, AOL Group can also regain control by acquiring Ussy Holdings, or ICQ.

In this world, the circle of tycoons is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

Usiris is also drunk!

The second target is Tencent QQ in Shenzhen, China.

On November 11, 98, Ma Huateng and his classmates Zhang Zhidong, Xu Chenye, Chen Yidan, Zeng Liqing, the five founders officially registered and established "Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd." in Shenzhen, imitating ICQ, and adding wireless paging and GSM short messages to create OCIQ, with a registered capital of only 500,000 yuan.

AOL Group turned a blind eye to this, and only issued two lawyers' letters to warn them; After OCIQ changed its name to Tencent QQ, the matter was over.

In April 00, IDG Capital (International Data Group) and Hong Kong Yingke each invested 1.1 million US dollars, respectively holding 20% of the total share capital of Tencent Holdings, and Ma Huateng and his team held 60% of the shares.

Among them, IDG Capital, one of the seven major venture capital funds under the SVC consortium (Siemens AG) and WI Harper Group of the United States, appeared by a group of overseas Chinese on the surface, and after being registered in 92 years, it focused on investing in the new network industry of the motherland, and was the first foreign investment fund to enter China.

In June 00, the number of QQ user registrations exceeded 10 million, and the online exceeded 100,000 at the same time!

On June 21, 00, in the first batch of 10,000 STK cards launched by Shenzhen Unicom's "Mobile New Life" service, the "Mobile QQ" menu was embedded, so that QQ and IP phone networks were interconnected, and a new "QQ empire" was about to be born!

Usiris will not be polite, so he registered "Ussi Holdings" and is ready to wield a big stick to forcibly complete the holding acquisition plan.

Of course, this holding acquisition does not have to get a 52% absolute security controlling stake, but it is enough to get 50% of the equity, and the choice of listing location is more flexible.

For example, "Wuxi Holdings" and "Tencent Entrepreneurship Team" each share 50% of the equity of Tencent QQ, and can choose to be listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China, Hong Kong, Wall Street in New York, or Berlin, Germany.

Of course, the national conditions are different, the network is different, and it is not possible to apply for listing at will, and the three options are, as long as you are willing to pay a certain price, you will be able to achieve the goal of the final listing.

For this reason, Usilis had invited all the bigwigs related to Tencent QQ in the name of "Jeff-Immelt" a day in advance, and greeted Immelt in advance; As for whether the invitee gives face, that's another matter!

It was planned in advance to find Immelt to cooperate, but Barron-Hilton automatically sent it to the door, so it didn't have to be in vain!

At 11 a.m. on July 28, a group of strangers were invited into the Ussy Club on the 101st floor of the Empire State Building. Chairman and President of GE Healthcare and military tycoon Immelt is really loud enough, and everyone who should come is here!

Pony Ma is one of the founders, chairman, executive director and CEO of Tencent QQ.

Xiong Xiaoge, President of IDG Capital Asia, Global Vice President, and Founding Partner, is known as "the first person in China to introduce venture funds for high-tech industries".

Zhou Quan, President and Partner of IDG Capital China.

Li Zekai is the chairman and chief executive officer of Hong Kong Pacific Century Limited (PCCW Limited) and the son of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Asia.

Comparatively speaking, Ussi's circle of friends is more luxurious.

Jim Walton, the president of CNN, also swaggered over, apparently a spy sent by Steve Keys to see what Usy would do with ICQ, acting as an intermediary by the way.

Duke Jagger, the last CEO of Procter & Gamble, was looking for Ussy to apply!

Barron Hilton, with the registration information of "Usy Holdings", was invited by Ussy.

Sumner Redes, CBS chairman and CEO, was pulled over by Usiy to act as a façade.

Jeff Immelt, idle, running over to join in the fun.

The same is true of Patri Ewing.

The crowd took their assistants and personal lawyers and sat in Ussy's box.

As for the Hilton sisters who are not leaving, they have been kicked out of the box by Ussy, what should they do, don't disturb me to get down to business! (To be continued.) )
