Yahoo has turned into the Paris Hilton of tech companies—a stupid outfit that remains very popular even though nobody, including Yahoo itself, seems to know exactly what Yahoo does for a living. And like the heiress(女继承人), for reasons that most people can’t understand Yahoo continues to attract a string of potential suitors(追求者)and to find itself the subject of constant rumors even though it was no longer interesting long before.
The latest rumor: Google is going to buy Yahoo. Or, rather, Google will put up some of the money that certain unnamed buyout firms will use to buy Yahoo, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing unnamed sources. Teamwork is needed because Yahoo is valued at about $21 billion, making it too rich for anyone to handle on its own.
Any deal between the two companies would be a tough sell in Washington, D.C., considering that regulators in 2008 forbidden a proposed search-advertising partnership between them, It may be that Google doesn’t really want to buy Yahoo but just wants to drive up the price that another buyer(for example, Microsoft, which is said to be weighing a bid)will have to pay.
Despite its travails, Yahoo still attracts an enormous audience—nearly 180 million visitors per month, making it the second-most-popular website in the US, after Google. But financially it’s hurting, with revenues declining 5% in its most recent quarter. Like Google, Microsoft is rumored to be going after Yahoo by offering to provide financing for buyout firms, including Silver Lake Partners, that are interested in Yahoo. Putting up some money would give Microsoft or Google some influence over how Yahoo is run.
Another rumored suitor is Alibaba Group, in which Yahoo holds a 40% stake. Others include AOL and Andreessen Horowitz, which was studying a bid for Yahoo in a deal that might also include Silver Lake Partners and DST Global, a Russian investment company.
According to the author, why is teamwork needed to buy Yahoo?
选项
A、Because Yahoo always attracts a string of potential buyers.
B、Because Yahoo has been bought by Google with $ 21 billion.
C、Because Yahoo is too rich for a company to handle on its own.
D、Because Yahoo has a great number of small companies.
答案
C
解析
由题干中的teamwork可以定位到第二段第三句。该句大意为“收购雅虎需要团队协作,因为雅虎市值约为210亿美元,其富有程度是任何公司都无法单独承受的”,所以C)正确。
