TikTok, which has 2 billion users, is being divided by foreign giants

Within 90 days, it will either be sold to Americans or closed directly.
This was Trump's ultimatum to Tiktok International TikTok on August 14, US Eastern Time.
It seems that the time limit is more than the original 45 days, but don't think too much.
TikTok's fate will not change.
Now it seems that this grace is to let more would-be robber giants join the feast.
Just today, according to the Financial Times, Oracle, headquartered in California, has also joined the competition to acquire TikTok.
This is a very Chinese name, but it has nothing to do with China.
It is the world's second largest software company, after Microsoft.
In the same way, it is another American giant after Microsoft and Twitter that covets TikTok.
Oracle (who didn't want to use that Chinese name) was obviously prepared.
Knowing that his size was much thinner than Microsoft, he found a group of friends who had money left in advance - Atlantic Investment and Sequoia Capital.
When you get fat, you can't help but want to eat more.
In addition to the United States, Oracle also requires that businesses in Canada, Australia and New Zealand be packaged together.
Microsoft has put forward similar requirements before, but they have a bigger appetite.
They want Canada, Australia and New Zealand...
and even have a great interest in Europe and India.
What about? Is it a bit familiar to divide the feast like this? At present, the biggest difference is here.
ByteDance agreed to sell TikTok's US business (there is no way to do otherwise).
As for other places, especially Europe, it is determined not to give up.
If there is no business in North America and Europe, what kind of global company is it? What's more, in addition to this mandatory binding, the original valuation has also been greatly affected.
After all, the world knows that TikTok is eager to sell.
So far, TikTok has been downloaded more than 2 billion times worldwide, with an internal valuation of more than $50 billion.
However, with Trump's 90 day broadsword hanging over his head, he has also designated to sell it to Americans.
This valuation is no longer possible.
It is speculated that the final transaction price may not exceed US $18 billion, and there is no chance to give a 50% discount.
So we can imagine how unwilling and angry TikTok's parent company is.
A person in charge of Sailing Fund commented: "This is blackmail at all.
Maybe Zhang Yiming will be forced to shut down directly (TikTok) when he is in a hurry, which is also possible." Even in Microsoft, there are many people against the acquisition, which is obviously unfair and obviously does not conform to the business rules.
Moreover, they believe that this is a political "muddy water", and Microsoft should not be involved.
Bill Gates, the biggest tycoon, said publicly that he should be cautious about acquiring TikTok, calling it "the holy grail of poison".
Obviously, this acquisition has taken too much advantage, which makes them feel guilty.
