Frankly speaking, there's not much to say about this event. Everyone knows that Microsoft has to acquire Yahoo in order to develop the benefits of the Internet and achieve the goal of competing with Google. There's not much controversy about such an event. The first thing you know is that Yahoo has always been used. However, with Google's disturbance and Yahoo's surge, this ordinary event has become quite funny. It is estimated that 80% of industry insiders will find it very amusing when they hear that Google is "worried" about Microsoft's monopoly and Yahoo complains about its low valuation. This kind of humor can only be understood but not expressed in words.
One event, two results, let's talk about the motivation first. Microsoft wants to make a desperate attempt because Google has overtaken them in the lucrative internet sector and has an absolute advantage over them. Microsoft is uncomfortable, but their horse is still strong. Therefore, they are willing to pay a price that small companies and even companies feel is not low to acquire Yahoo. Whether it's hype or adding legs, they want to dominate in momentum, just like political elections need public opinion support.
What about the result? Google doesn't show off either, shouting down monopoly orally. After all, American game rules still emphasize rules. In fact, Google does not need to shout whether in technology or strength. Why do they still shout? First, to create momentum; second, although it cannot cause actual pressure, it can give you some minor troubles after all. This is American-style humor.
Yahoo is even funnier. Without discussing the domestic Yahoo, the English Yahoo still has some market share. For example, Americans use Yahoo mail (the older generation), check road conditions GPS (both old and new generations), and look at finance (managers). Other functions have basically been replaced by Google. Search functions, integrated successful functions such as pictures, even the once-popular Yahoo Messenger, have long been impotent. On the verge of death, finally, a starving horse meets a camel and still doesn't appreciate it, complaining about the low valuation?
It can also be understood. Selling oneself means selling to a good family and making a last stand to get one more shot. It can be predicted: Microsoft will integrate the Yahoo search toolbar into IE after the acquisition, which they will definitely use. Not using it would mean spending money on something that causes suffering. This is probably another so-called "monopoly" tactic after bundling MSN.
Result: It's just an IT show, the order will not change.
