Whether you want to admit it or not, Time Warner AOL is one of the most influential technology companies in the Internet technology era. Time Warner AOL, which merged during the Internet bubble, has a huge impact on the entire technology industry and media industry.

It is the first Internet technology company to extend from an online Internet technology company to traditional offline media, and it is also a giant in the media industry.

No matter how you view this century merger, it is impossible to deny that it is a company that can beat any technology company at its peak and wrestle with Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM and other companies at its peak.

The collapse of the world now is like a major earthquake for the entire Internet technology and media industry.

Although Time Warner claimed that this split did not mean that the merger would have completely failed, after all, Time Warner's board of directors and management still had to be shameful. Once the failure was admitted, the entire management would be out of here from top to bottom.

Even if he was slapped in the face and pretended to be fat, he could only grit his teeth and declare that the merger was cross-age, but there were some deviations.

After the split, Time Warner and AOL will operate independently, Time Warner will also restore its previous brand, while AOL will be listed as an independent company and will no longer appear in Time Warner's brand and logo. Although the two companies are still in cooperation in name only, in fact, everyone understands that the marriage between Time Warner and AOL has completely failed.

Time Warner is unwilling to carry AOL, the bottomless pit, and continue to lose money. He just wants to get rid of this burden. It has even been rumored that he wants to take over the market to take over AOL.

But what is surprising is that when the news came out, Time Warner's stock price rose instantly and almost soared. Time Warner, which had fallen continuously for several years, almost rose to the sky. After the announcement, the stock price almost rose sharply, which made the investors who were still preparing to run away a little confused, not knowing what plane this was.

After splitting AOL, it was beyond the expectation of countless people that the outside world was so optimistic about Time Warner. Many people who invested in Time Warner felt that this was a fishing method. When investors were attracted to the market, it was suddenly reported that Time Warner's board of directors increased its holdings in Time Warner's equity, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Citi and other banking institutions also entered the market one after another.

This scene made countless Time Warner investors cry. It has been so many years since I bought Time Warner stocks. When my child was in high school, he praised Time Warner for its market value of over 600 billion US dollars.

After this, my children have graduated from college, Time Warner's stock price has never risen once, and no institution has seen Time Warner, but this time it has increased the price for the first time. It's not their fault for being suspicious.

But this time it seems really different, especially one of the new investment banks that are not well-known to the public has quietly gone out. North American trust investment banks bought stocks under Time Warner in large quantities, and became one of the institutions that held 3% of Time Warner on the same day.

People who have heard of North American Trust and Investment Banks know that this new investment bank that has emerged on Wall Street recently has something to do with Chuke Technology, a technology upstart across the Pacific. It is obvious that they have received some news that they can make such a big move by North American Trust and Investment Banks!

Shortly after the announcement, CNN TV broadcast a video. Loren Reeves, one of Time Warner's vice presidents, was interviewed by the exclusive interview with Fortune Magazine, a subsidiary of Time Warner, and said in a pledge to the camera, "This is a brand new beginning for Time Warner. The darkness has passed, and Time Warner has found light!"

By the way, "Xiaoxiao" inadvertently revealed some plans. Time Warner began to transform completely and reached cooperation agreements with several technology companies including Chuke Technology, Microsoft, and Google.

Especially in Chuke Technology, copyrights such as Time Warner's Demus, film and television, comics, etc. will appear on Facebook, Tube, Renren Film and Television, Renren Music, Twitter and other platforms.

In addition, Time Warner will jointly develop DC Comics adaptations and release many films, music, etc. of Renren Film and Television. In a word, Time Warner has shown up and stopped pretending and completely surrendered to Chuke's technology!

Loren Reeves's words on CNN TV made the whole Hollywood burst. A Viacom opened the copyright library to Renren Technology, which made people music. Renren's film and television endings were too big. It lured a large number of songs and film clips on Tube that have attracted a large number of young users.

After being acquired by Renren Film and Television, Tube has resolved the copyright dispute, it is like it has been put on wings and is already sweeping the world. Last month, the first new MV released by Renren Music was born, and the number of global clicks exceeded 100 million in a single month was launched. This is a special symbol for Tube.

Not to mention the songs placed on Tube, how much paid singles and advertising revenue can be rewarded to the producers of the songs, Renren Music has already stretched the entire traditional recording industry. Now that Tube that can watch MVs appears, this is already digging the roots of major traditional recordings.

The alliance between Viacom and Renren Technology has made the entire Hollywood music and record group passive. Now, with the addition of Time Warner, the entire Hollywood is a little cursed.

Time Warner is raising a tiger as a disaster. He can't survive anymore, so he even brought other entertainment groups to be buried with him. When Renren Technology really grows up, it has a large number of users, plus Renren Music, Renren Film and Television, Tube, etc., the entire Hollywood may be robbed of its voice by Renren Technology!

But no matter how Hollywood or the media industry hates Time Warner, it cannot change Time Warner's decision. After all, survival is the key.

With the announcement of Time Warner's news, the investment industry has indeed treated Time Warner differently. The rapid rise in stock prices shows that Time Warner's decision is very satisfied with investors. After all, Viacom's development now has everything.

However, on the other hand, AOL, which was independently listed, has not had a good life. Although it will be independently listed and operated, Wall Street's valuation of AOL is only pitiful and less than 3 billion US dollars. Compared with the 164 billion US dollars that merged Time Warner at its peak, it is simply a fraction of it, and the last fig leaf has been torn off.

Some of AOL's core assets were also taken away by Time Warner during this split. Even the business plane that belongs to the current AOL president may be taken away by Time Warner, which is the worst CEO of the year.

Among the many assets, the most eye-catching one is that the assets that originally belonged to the two companies were the time Warner AOL investment in Chuke Technology.

This time, AOL reached an agreement with Time Warner to transfer all the shares of Autohome to Time Warner, retaining 2% of Facebook's investment rights, and taking away 100 million US dollars from Time Warner.

Although Time Warner also announced that it had reached a comprehensive cooperation with Chuke Technology, including the use of AOL websites to use NG searchers, media and entertainment industry, advertising industry, etc., and will start cooperation with Chuke Technology, the outside world is skeptical about whether AOL can still stand up.

The news of Time Warner's split with AOL also caused a stir when it reached the country. After all, such a giant collapsed like this, leaving the outside world with doubts about whether companies in the technology industry can continue to develop.

After all, unlike the hardware industry, even if it is broken, there are still assets and equipment in your hands. When scrap iron is sold, you can still sell it. However, like the Internet software industry AOL, when the business is stolen and the user is lost, there is really nothing left.

In the past two years, it has been a magical year for the technology industry. Old technology giants have fallen one after another. From IBM at the time to Yahoo, which was publicly bid by Microsoft last year and was completely lost by Bigeon, to AOL, which is now setting, the entire technology industry is surging, and no one knows who will fall next time.

The sudden news made the entire technology industry panic. After all, such a company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars fell down. Compared with the press conference held by Autohome and Hertz, it attracted more attention, even Autohome is a huge investment.

There were many reporters who came to the press conference, but most of them did not focus on this press conference. Seeing this scene made Li Xing helpless. Why was it so difficult for Autohome to be a hot topic?

Li Xing had already asked Oriental.com to prepare hot search content for it, and just waited for the cooperation press conference to be completed, and when the drama "Time Warner and AOL" ended, everything was in vain.

After asking Li Xing and Paul Stone a few questions, the questions asked began to become crooked, and Chen Chu, who was sitting under the press conference, began to be asked.

In addition to asking about his views on Time Warner and AOL, a reporter suddenly asked Chen Chu, "Mr. Chen, will you officially return to Chuke Technology this year and take on specific positions in Chuke Technology?"

As soon as such a question arose, it quickly attracted the attention of the audience, and countless lenses and cameras looked at Chen Chu.

Although Chen Chu has always been the helm of Chuke Technology and is in charge of the development direction of Chuke Technology, after all, he has no specific position. He is just a major shareholder and director, in charge of the strategic development of Chuke Technology.

But this year Chen Chu is nominally coming out of the University of Science and Technology. Although in fact, he hasn't been to the University of Science and Technology a few times in recent years, he is nominally coming out.

Will Chen Chu take over the specific affairs of Chuke's technology from Wu Xingdao, Du Jianzhao and others? This will attract the attention of the outside world.

Especially the giant combinations like Time Warner AOL ended miserably, and people had to pay attention to whether there would be changes in technology upstarts like Chuke Technology.
