February 15 News, according to foreign media reports, sources revealed that Yahoo has ceased to negotiate with Asian partners to sell shares.

It is said that Yahoo is no longer interested in selling shares of Alibaba and Yahoo Japan, for unknown reasons.

Industry insiders speculate that perhaps Yahoo's new CEO, Scott Thompson, Scott Thompson the idea after considering the complex cash-rich spin-off (Cash-rich split) plan, or that he wants to take longer to assess the situation.

Yahoo's board members, who are pushing the plan, have left the company, one of the first major initiatives Mr Thompson will make, but not to be messed up.

The cash-rich spin-off is cumbersome, and in order to avoid tax, Alibaba and Yahoo Japan need to buy the Weather channel and WebMD's company (the target that Yahoo is interested in) in order to replace the shares held by Yahoo. For a company like Yahoo, it seems a huge mistake to include more companies.

The smarter approach is to keep holding, Ii Penrau, and make them more valuable for themselves. (fruit)
