Why does a company buy another company? Sometimes other companies that have skilled manpower are included in their team, and sometimes they are bought in exchange for money at a competitive company, and at other times the patents and rights properties of other companies are also bought. And all those acquisitions are done in exchange for a lot of money, but sometimes a company does not sell its company for a one-time money by thinking of future. For example, Microsoft and Google did not want to buy Facebook in exchange for a lot of money at Mark Zuckerbar in the beginning of Facebook. On the other hand, two founders of Google could not sell themselves to sell Google to many people.
And in today's tune I came to talk about the top 10 top summers. So let's see what happened today:
1) Buy WhatsApp Apps for Facebook
For the almost $ 19 billion, Facebook has bought WhatsApp popular messaging service. Did you know that before? Here Facebook has not only bought a mobile app, but with the addition of Facebook Apop, it has got an opportunity to access around 450 million users. WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps in today's messaging. And for about 40 US dollars, WhatsApp is now a company controlled by Facebook. In February 2014, Facebook, with a $ 1.5 billion capitalization, bought Facebook for about $ 19 billion in WhatsApp companies. This freeware cross-platform messaging released in January 2009 and the VoIP service has been operating the company itself until WhatsApp 2014.
Brian Ekton and Jan Koum founded WhatsApp in 2009. Both of them are former Yahoo officials. The interesting thing is that they did not apply for jobs on Facebook first, but it did not happen. So one day they felt a beautiful messenger on an iPhone ghat, and today we got the WhatsApp messenger. But you can not use WhatsApp everywhere in the world. Because WhatsApp has been banned entirely in China, Iran and Turkey.
2) Motorola bought Google
Since the beginning of the process since 2011, after nearly a year of negotiations and legal process, Google Mobile Company bought Motorola for about $ 12.5 billion. Through this, Google has a total of 17,000 patents, as a competitor of Apple, and is currently in the market. Also in the middle of 2011 Google bought 1,000 hardware patents from IBM. Later, Google sold Motorola home to Lenovo 2.35 billion and Motorola Smartphone division for $ 2.91 billion US $.
3) Buy HP for Autonomy
After purchasing Compaq company for about $ 17.billion in 2002, HP subsequently bought an enterprise software company Autonomy for $ 10 billion in 2011. But there are some ghapala here. Because in 2012 HP said in a report that they have spent a lot of money on buying Autonomy companies. On the other hand, the company's CEO was fired from the company for nearly 10 years due to the furore of the Autonomy company and later the company was sold to HP.
4) Buy Skype for Microsof
In 2011, Microsoft bought Skype for about $ 8.5 billion. Previously Skype was under Ebay. But later, about 40% of Los Angeles sold eBay skype to a private investor. Since then Google and Facebook have got to buy Skype. But suddenly Microsoft came in the middle of buying Skype for more money. Interestingly, there were less customers than Microsoft's own messenger at the time of purchase Skype. However, after purchasing Skype has a prednusted status on every Windows device, and currently around 1/3 of the world's video call is done via Skype.
5) Oracle bought Sun Microsystems
Sun Microsystems bought Oracle for about 7.4 billion US dollars. Oracle gets Java, Solaris Operating System and MySQL subpictures. Also in 2010, Oracle against Google filed a legal case for using Jawa for Android platform. But later in the legal analysis it is known that Google has not only stolen Java code but only copied minor literal codes. Later, Oracle accepted it.
6) Microsoft acquires Nokia, Microsoft
Before coming to Android and iPhone, Nokia was the world's No. 1 smartphone brand. But in the middle of 2013, for over $ 7 billion, Nokia sold itself to Microsoft. Among them were Nokia's patent portfolio, mapping service and 32 thousand employees. Through this, Microsoft wanted to make its own place in the mobile device market through its own Lumia and Asha brand devices.
7) Google bought Nest Labs
You may think that why they have purchased thermostats and smoke detectors with 3.2 billion US dollars for so many services? Where Google has the world's largest search engine, there are chromecasts, Chromebooks, Android OS, Google Nexus, Google Glass and even now have its own smartphone, Google Pixel.
The only reason to buy Nest Labs is the founder of Nest Labs, Tony Fadel Ydine designed and created the iPod. To bring him to the Google team, Google had to buy a whole company.
8) Dell bought the Quest software
Quest Lever Enterprises is a software package based on database management, data protection, Windows Server Management and Identity and Access Management Sector. And DLL bought the company for about $ 2.4 billion in exchange for this company. Quest Software has 3850 employees, with about 60 offices in 23 countries. And with the help of these DELL wanted to revive their own software business. Later, Credant Technologies and SonicWall also purchased the company as a storage projection and network and data securities provider.
9) Yahoo buys Tumblr

Today's list was Facebook at the beginning and in the end there are Facebook. Photo sharing Social Platform Instrument bought Facebook Billion for US $. Although less than money, Facebook believes that many things are possible with new talent. Where Google bought Snapchat and tried to close it.
