Will Tom be losing his proxy in China for Skype? After the noise of the Monday movie, Tom's official Friday response said: Tom and Skype are still in the validity of the contract, if the expiry of the negotiations will be renewed. However, according to many reporters understand that after Skype was acquired by Microsoft, Microsoft's urgent integration of the former hope that the renewal is full of variables. Also, what is known behind the possible loss of Skype's proxy message is that Tom's online joint venture with ebay has been quietly abandoned. December 2006, ebay set up a joint venture with Tom Online to launch the online Consumer-to-consumer trading platform "ebay". However, the reporter learned from people familiar with the matter, as early as this April, ebay became Tom Group wholly-owned subsidiary, ebay has withdrawn. On July 16, ebay officials confirmed the news in an interview: "We signed the 5-year agreement and now ebay is no longer in possession of the joint venture." "In 2007, when Tom withdrew from the Nasdaq and HKEX online, he had already made a big layoff, the portal was almost out of the public eye, and then the partnership with Skype and ebay, which was run by ebay, became Tom's left and right arm." Now, Tom's online or lost two arms, before ebay quietly flop, and the co-operation with Skype may be because last October Microsoft officially completed the acquisition of Skype and difficult to continue. ebay's departure at the end of December 2006, ebay's former president and CEO Walt Whitman visited China was a big news. At that time, Whitman and China's largest SP company Tom Online CEO Lei announced in Shanghai, the two will join together to form a joint venture, by Lei as CEO. It also means that ebay is handing over its China Consumer-to-consumer business to Tom for online care. At the press conference, Whitman said, "The mode of cooperation is very similar to Taiwan." In 2002, ebay entered the Taiwan market by acquiring Taiwanese power. However, because of the strong pressure from Taiwan's biggest portal and shopping website, Yahoo., ebay later withdrew its own business and instead set up a joint venture with Taiwan's electric-business website PChome Online to launch a joint brand website. While neither side of the show was on the cards, the next ebay-China joint venture story was almost the same as that of China's Taiwan. Ebay and PChome Online's new web site is mostly run by the latter, and ebay is more like an investor in the Taiwanese market, while ebay's focus on mainland Chinese partners is "non-interference in Tom's day-to-day operations." Notably, Skype may play an important role in the eventual creation of ebay's online partnership with Tom during the new layout of ebay. Ebey officially acquired Skype in September 2005. Prior to the acquisition, Skype cooperated with Tom Online as well as with PChome on Taiwan. Maybe it was under Skype's strings., both of which eventually became ebay's local partners. Over the past few years, however, ebay's takeover of Skype has been identified as a mistake. In addition to looking for new profit opportunities, ebay has also hoped to achieve Skype voice video capabilities and its online auction platform integration, but the results show that no users tend to engage in the auction business transactions in voice chat, but may increase the complexity of the transaction. "Because ebay doesn't need Skype for its main business, we decided to sell Skype," he said. "In May this year, Lin, the chief executive of ebay's new China region, responded to a reporter's inquiries. Given the relative changes in ebay's global decisions and the dismal operation of Tom's ebay joint venture, this may be why ebay has dropped its stake in the online joint venture with Tom. In addition, both ebay and Tom Online have "No competitive relationships" under the terms of the contract, and the withdrawal of the JV will also be a foreshadowing for ebay's travel light. Lin told reporters in May that this year ebay will expand its overall investment in China by billions of U.S. dollars, while ebay, which is the ebay-driven Asia-Pacific region, has become a separate big China. Skype variables since the May 2011 Microsoft announced that it will buy Skype 8.5 billion heavily, it has been outside the emphasis on both sides of the integration of ideas. And the urgent integration of Microsoft will also immediately spread to the Chinese region, for Tom Online and Skype's renewal of the variable. "Skype will make big moves next. "San Francisco Time, June 27, Microsoft Global Senior vice president, search and advertising chief scientist Harry Shum in the interview with this reporter has disclosed. Microsoft says Skype has almost unlimited imagination because it has countless product lines to play, including Xbox, Windows Mobile and Office software, and Microsoft has even expressed its interest in integrating Skype with its corporate communications platform, Lync. Notably, Microsoft has just announced a takeover of Yammer, a corporate social-application site. The deal has sparked a backlash from the US, which could have a significant impact on Cisco's video conferencing solution. and Skype acquired assets such as SMS Group Exchange service platform GROUPME, video broadcast company Qik, etc., may be useful to Microsoft. Recently, Skype President Tony Betz also talked about Skype's huge consolidation of imagination in Windows8, Microsoft's touch-type operating system, and Windows Phone. According to its disclosure, from Microsoft officially completed the acquisition 8 months, Skype monthly connection to the number of users from 170 million to 250 million, and Skype is currently emphasizing two growth, respectively, mobile phone and living room, and Microsoft direction exactly the same. In addition, at the end of June, Microsoft chief research and strategy Officer Mundie, in an interview with this reporter, had emphasized the future of human technology, one of which is that voice control will no longer be humanClass is a way of assisting computer instructions. He also points out that integration is a trend that all companies are hungry for at the moment. As of time, Microsoft has not provided any response to the issue of Skype's China proxy, but Microsoft has a number of product lines in China, and the Eddy of Tom Online or thoughtful, it can give Microsoft in the Chinese market what imagination.
