Chapter 755 The Biggest Bubble

Wu Tao couldn't help laughing.

This white-skinned pig actually ran in front of him to show off his superiority. It seemed that he really didn't get any benefits in front of Molly just now.

That's right, thinking that Molly's performances are completely different when facing him and facing herself, it can be seen.

But when Wu Tao heard that he was so proud of being able to mobilize tens of billions of dollars, he couldn't help but feel moved.

He looked directly at Molly and said, "By the way, Mr. Anderson from Netscape, did you contact me?"

"Huh?" Molly didn't respond for a while.

Then he was intercepted by Wu Tao and said: "I'm not asking you to introduce Anderson for me, so that he will give us a chance to invest in Apocalypse no matter what. The price that AOL can afford, Apocalypse Investment can also afford."

After such an interruption, Molly also understood, frowned and said worriedly: "But AOL is determined to win Netscape, they are so rich and powerful, and the strength of Tianqi Investment may be..."

"You're right." Wu Tao said with emotion: "If it weren't for the limited capital of Tianqi Investment, I would like to buy AOL directly! As a high-quality asset in the Internet industry, if you buy it, you will earn it!"

After a pause, Wu Tao thought about it and added: "No, I'll think of a way..."

Seeing Wu Tao's embarrassment due to insufficient capital, Howard couldn't help but said proudly: "Haha, only Berkshire can afford to acquire such a giant as AOL! Even a company as popular as Netscape, It's not something you can eat! So, I advise you not to think about it."

"I don't think so, Howard." Wu Tao said without showing any weakness: "If you have the capital to acquire their institutions or companies, you may be as optimistic about them as I am! So Apocalypse Investment has a chance to give it a go. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see!"

"...Anyway, it's okay to lose, but if you win, the stock price will rise and the assets will double, but it will be a matter of time."

Howard looked at Wu Tao's complacency, then looked at Molly's adoring eyes, and said proudly: "Wu, now I am considering officially competing for this merger on behalf of Berkshire, so you have no chance! "

The Ferrari roared its engine and drove away.

Molly asked with a smile through the fence, "Would he believe it?"

"I definitely won't believe it now!" Wu Tao said confidently: "But if we really contact Mr. Anderson and put on a negotiation posture, then maybe."

"You are so bad, Wu!" Molly said with a smile.

Wu Tao spread his hands and shrugged, "I was also forced."

That innocent expression drew Molly's trembling smile.

That night, Wu Yingying brought back a stack of documents from the company, which was about the relationship between Jeff Hawkins' Palm Company and his former employer 3Com.

It turned out that three years ago, Palm Company, after several twists and turns, finally made its PDA products shine in the market. As a result, due to poor management, the capital chain was broken, so it had to accept the merger and acquisition of a company called US Robotics.

Later, together with US Robotics, it was acquired by today's 3Com.

3Com is engaged in Internet hardware, and has already occupied a considerable market share in the industry. So for the PDA itself, it doesn't pay enough attention.

Since Palm's OS was acquired, there has been little development and advancement.

However, 3Com will not give up such a fat piece of PDA either. After all, no one thinks too much money.

So when Jeff Hawkins proposed to repurchase shares from 3Com and wanted to be independent, he was decisively rejected.

However, before Wu Tao appeared, Jeff's intention to go was decided.

So he considered starting a new company with Donna Dubinsky.

Naturally, the new company opened by the two of them can no longer make PDAs. It just so happened that they set their sights on mobile phones.

This coincided with Wu Tao's plan.

After reading the information, Wu Yingying said worriedly: "Boss, Palm company is in a precarious state. Shouldn't we be more cautious when we cooperate with them?"

Regarding Wu Yingying's reminder, Wu Tao didn't take it seriously, "Actually, the other company's turmoil is secondary. The key is whether PalmOS is suitable for Lotus mobile products, and whether it can form a part of our mobile phone product competitiveness!"

"...If we decide to adopt PalmOS in the future, then this turmoil is an opportunity for us!"

Qin Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously: "Boss, do you plan to cooperate with Jeff and the others to develop smartphones?"

Wu Tao shook his head pretending to be mysterious.

"What could that be?" Qin Xiaoxiao was immediately confused, and looked at Wu Yingying, who was also puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Molly, who had changed into a loose T-shirt and denim shorts, walked in and said, "Your boss probably wants to separate Palm Company and take a stake in it."

Women are too smart, and it really makes men feel unfulfilled.

So Wu Tao inevitably said angrily: "If you continue to eavesdrop on our business secrets like this, be careful and we will sue you."

Molly sat down next to him shyly, and touched him with her snow-white long legs: "Don't forget, Jeff from Palm Company, I helped introduce you. What do you want to plan, can I help you?" Are you clear? Besides, if AOL can trick Howard, don't I need my cooperation?"

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

Wu Tao could only smile sheepishly, "Molly, you are simply too smart. I just realized now that you are not only smart, but also so beautiful. You are simply a combination of Venus, the God of Love, and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom."

Molly was successful, she raised her slender and fair neck with a proud expression on her face.

But Wu Yingying almost didn't spit out after hearing this. This flattery is too much!

But Qin Xiaoxiao paid special attention, "Boss, are we going to cooperate with AOL? This is a strong Internet media company in the United States, so I'm afraid they may not take us seriously."

Molly took the conversation and said: "This is what I find strange. AOL is in full swing now. How can you be sure that it will decline in the future? What if Howard really enters the board of directors of AOL and then develops, we Now all these efforts have become a joke."

Wu Tao said leisurely: "Since the development of the Internet industry, the bubble theory has been clamoring for a long time. Is there a bubble?"

The three women looked puzzled.

"If you want me to say, of course there is!" Wu Tao asked himself and replied: "And this AOL is probably the biggest one in this bubble!"

Molly had doubts on her face, AOL was full of momentum, and there was no bubble at all.

Wu Tao pointed his fingers and explained: "Last year, AOL spent 300 million US dollars to acquire ICQ. How is ICQ doing now? Is it calm? This fully exposes AOL's weakness in Internet operations."

"...and now they want to buy Netscape!"

"...I admit that Netscape was booming at the beginning, but at that time, the rival Microsoft hadn't yet risen. Now, the browser developed by Netscape is regarded as a competitor by Microsoft. How can this be good? "

"...As a result, Netscape has open-sourced its own cross-platform browser and made it free. Sweet and sour, how can it be so easy?"
