Silicon Valley

Chapter 65: Williams Bank

   The survey vessel sent by Cisco collects data, but it takes a long time for the message to be returned. At present, the AOL Alliance is divided into twos and threes each forming a small alliance to carry out mergers and acquisitions of the company. Compared with the MCI telecom giant, it is much easier to swallow the company!

   The company is the famous WorldCom company in the past. After 1990, this company developed rapidly. Relying on the annexation of other telecommunications companies, it expanded rapidly and became the telecommunications giant in the United States second only to AT&T. Among them, the most well-known acquisition is the acquisition of MCI company with a market value of 37 billion US dollars at the time and the American Internet backbone Tier-1-ISP——!

   However, this world was acquired by Cisco and changed its name!

   WorldCom was originally very good, but the company's CEO preferred to invest in stocks, and the result was planted. Then the company's performance fell sharply. In desperation, he began to make false accounts again, which eventually led to bankruptcy! ! !

   It seems that Henry’s arrival has already produced a butterfly effect, causing the company to hang up many years earlier...

  ……

Since the troubles with Citibank and Morgan Bank, Cisco has begun to look for other banks to cooperate with, and intends to acquire a small and medium-sized bank in California, and then develop and grow to become the economic mainstay of the Williams consortium in the future. ! Currently, we are looking for suitable acquisition targets!

   During this period of time, the U.S. telecommunications industry is full of flames, and the fight is in full swing!

   Isearch company launched Isearch posts during this time!

   Post it out, it's really invincible!

   Not to mention how other search engines are lingering, only Isearch search engine, the popularity has increased greatly, and its popularity is almost a 100-meter sprint, and it feels like it is catching up with the global online!

   As the number one portal website, Global Online has a lot of traffic, and the following nine add up to not have as much!

   The global online is very coquettish, and it’s amazing!

   But now the Isearch search engine is suddenly chasing like stimulants. Isearch Encyclopedia is enough to attract netizens, and Isearch Post Bar is even more! Countless netizens stayed in the post bar for a long time to post, chat and fart, and had a great time playing. Isearch Post Bar is divided into many interest groups, so netizens can find like-minded people in the groups they are interested in.

   Isearch Post Bar has a strong stickiness, so more and more Internet users use Isearch, which makes the advertising fee on Isearch vainly expensive!

   As of November 1, 1989, the number of registered users of Isearch has exceeded 500,000. Now there are only more than three million netizens, and 500,000 has already accounted for one-sixth. Such terrifying data can completely crush other search engines!

   Compare the data to know how big the gap is!

   Isearch searches for registered users, 500,000.

   AOL search for registered users, five thousand.

   Five hundred thousand to five thousand, it's a world of difference! ! !

As for Isearch-adsense, it will take some time to be officially launched. It is not because this feature is difficult to do, but Isearch is actively contacting websites and advertisers. When it is officially launched, it will have a sensational effect. Months produce the most shocking effect! ! !

  Isearch-adsense can also become a hit!

   When the time comes, the value will double, and the advertiser's money will be needed to get more! ! !

   Today, AOL has been beaten on the Internet and has nothing to fight back. Two or three other search engines have gone bankrupt! It is true that I do not kill Boren, Boren died because of me, so Isearch is very kind, generous and casually dumped one or two million to buy them!

   The cost of searching, server and broadband is very high. AOL seems to have seen the weakness of its own search engine. In order to save money, it has gradually withdrawn from the market!

   Now, what AOL hopes most is to acquire the company!

   Sequoia Capital, Citigroup, and Morgan all stated that they would fully support the acquisition of AOL. AOL has also formally submitted an acquisition request to the company!

  At this point, Cisco, Nicholas and Global Online acquired a small and medium-sized bank in California for only $500 million, and the bank was renamed "Williams Bank"! Williams Bank mainly has more than a dozen branch banks near Silicon Valley, which are not large in scale, with less than one million deposit users and less than 4 billion deposit funds.

   But it doesn’t matter, Rome was not built in a day, take your time!

   However, the news of the joint acquisition of banks by companies such as Cisco has caused a huge sensation in the media! Although in the United States, mergers and acquisitions between banks occur from time to time, it is not uncommon at all. But this time is different. Who is buying the bank this time?

   The first company is Cisco, and its market value is about to exceed 60 billion!

   The second company is the Nicholas Group. Its Nicholas shopping network has a market value of 45 billion, and the IMDB website has a market value of 8 billion!

   The third company is Global Online. This company is currently the company with the largest Internet traffic and the most promising company by investors. Senior Wall Street analysts claimed that as long as the global online listing, the market value immediately soared to 60 billion US dollars. We must know that there is also a Netscape browser under Global Online, and Netscape's market value has already exceeded 10 billion US dollars! ! ! More importantly, Global Online is still the first company to achieve profitability among Internet websites, and other websites have been losing money so far! This alone will give a lot of points to the global online!

   The three giant crocodile companies jointly acquired a bank, and the significance behind it is extraordinary!

   If you are just preparing for a little trouble, ask who, no one will believe it?

   The major media have sent reporters to the three companies for interviews!

   Subsequently, Nicholas Group CEO Geely Hutt and Cisco CEO John Chambers and Global Online CEO Jonathan Jackson (originally Netscape CEO, now promoted) jointly held a press conference to deal with the major media.

  Reporter: "Excuse me, why did your three companies jointly acquire a bank? There are rumors that you all have the same boss behind your three companies. Is the rumors true?!!!"

John Chambers smiled and said calmly: "The rumors will only catch the wind, of course it is not worth the letter. As for why we need to jointly acquire a bank, this is actually very simple, because the three of us are all Internet companies, and we all share each other. It is a very important strategic partner! Therefore, there is nothing to fuss about in the joint acquisition of a bank!"

   "Excuse me, since your three companies are big companies with a market value of tens of billions, what will you do next after you buy a bank?"

   Geely Hutt smiled: "In the first stage, we will increase our efforts to build more branches to attract more customers. Of course, we are most keen on direct mergers and acquisitions of other banks!!!"

   "Capital giants are extraordinary, just open their mouths and talk about mergers and acquisitions!!!" The reporter sighed in his heart.

  ……

   The press conference is still going on, and the three major CEOs are very handy to deal with media reporters, and Henry is not in charge at all. Let him go, he may not be able to do it! He is the master behind the scenes and likes to control everything in secret! Maybe one day he will come to the front desk, but now, he doesn't want to. Henry is less than 15 years old. If he walks to the front desk, he will not shock the world and frighten others? At least wait until you are old, then take down Apple, get the iPhone out, and then hold a product launch conference and pretend to be B like Steve Jobs!

  So the whole world called themselves the father of smart phones and changed the world... The picture is so beautiful that I can't even imagine it! ! !

   Henry drove to the cinema at this time to watch a movie, "Human Ghost Love Is Not Over"!

  Today is the premiere of "Human Ghosts Are Coming", Henry came here in a gray casual outfit. The premiere was quite lively. On the stage, Nicole Kidman was wearing a white dress and black high heels, smiling to the reporters' questions. It seemed that he was not weak at all!

   When she scanned the stage and noticed Henry, Henry used her eyes and gestures to signal him to wait for her in the background.

   Nicole Kidman nodded at him without a trace.

   Henry crossed the crowd, walked backstage, sat on a chair, picked up a newspaper and read it. After waiting for ten minutes, Nicole Kidman came backstage with the staff of Galaxy Film Company.

   "Mr. Williams, I'm very happy that you can come to the premiere of "The Love Is Coming"!" Nicole Kidman laughed.

   "Hehe, don't forget, I'm the screenwriter of "Human and Ghosts"!" Henry said, "Well, what are your plans after filming this movie? Do you want to continue filming or take a break?"

   "A period of rest, I plan to go back to Australia."

   "It's okay to go home!" Henry nodded, "By the way, I heard that private individuals in Australia can buy permanent land. Is it true?"

   "Yes, that's right!" Nicole Kidman's family is the big landlord and knows this well.

   "Then, after you go back, help me pay attention to what is good. I want to buy a farm, winery, etc., and go there for vacation when I am free. It seems quite interesting!"

   "Oh, yes, no problem." Nicole Kidman nodded.

   Henry looked at his watch and said, "The movie is about to begin, let's go to the cinema!"

"Ok."

   Henry and Nicole Kidman went into the cinema together. It didn't take long before the movie began to show. Henry looked at it and saw that it was not far from the movie in his previous life. The most touching part was the pottery-making section. The picture is so lingering, coupled with the classic music of "Unrestrained Melody", it is really ecstasy. Henry looked at Nicole Kidman next to him. Nicole Kidman also seemed to notice that Henry was looking at her, and his face turned red!

   "I played well, I'm jealous!" Henry whispered.

   "I'm not your girlfriend, why are you jealous?"

   "Not now, it will be in the future! Do you still like others after seeing a handsome and handsome man like me? I think you must already like me now!"

   "Less narcissism, who likes you? A little pervert!" Nicole Kidman chuckled softly.

   "Hehe..." Henry smiled non-committal.

   After the movie was screened, many women in the cinema were in tears. Henry knew that the movie "Human Ghosts Are Unending" was a success!

   "Nicole, after today, you will be a Hollywood movie superstar!!!"

   "I have to thank you~www.NovelMTL.com~ The point is that the script you wrote is too good! I think, as long as it is a different performance, it must be very exciting and touching!"

   "Okay, you will invite me to dinner someday. I want to have dinner alone!"

   "……"

  Out of the cinema, Nicole Kidman drove back. Henry came here not only to watch a movie, but also to discuss with Bobby Robin, CEO of Galaxy Films. Bobby Robin had already received a call from Henry and was waiting outside the cinema after watching the movie. When Henry arrived, he greeted him and went to a nearby coffee shop.

   "Bobby Robin, this is my new screenplay "Remains of a Deserted Island"!" Henry handed him a stack of manuscripts.

   Bobby Robin took it over and quickly browsed through it, "Chairman, this script is very good and very interesting!"

Henry nodded, and then said: ""Leaves of a Deserted Island" is best directed by Robert Zemigis, starring Tom Hanks! And I deliberately set the identity of the male protagonist played by Tom Hanks as express delivery. The purpose of the company’s employees is to promote Nicholas Express. Therefore, in the movie, they must fully demonstrate the excellence of Nicholas Express! In other words, this is an image promotional film of Nicholas Express!!! "

   Bobby Robin was taken aback for a moment, and he made a movie just to promote a courier company. It’s really **** good! ! ! (Book friends group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join!
