a royal dutch nao saiu dessa ai?

Impressionante foi a Standart Oil.

Chegou a valer USD 1 trilhão... Tudo praticamente de 1 pessoa só.

Tem algumas empresas "Royal Dutch", possivelmente está falando da Shell, e ela não se originou dessa não.

Philips e KLM são algumas outras Royal Dutch mais conhecidas.

The Royal Dutch Shell Group was created in February 1907 through the amalgamation of two rival companies: the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (Dutch: Koninklijke Nederlandse Petroleum Maatschappij) of the Netherlands and the Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited of the United Kingdom. It was a move largely driven by the need to compete globally with Standard Oil. The Royal Dutch Petroleum Company was a Dutch company founded in 1890 to develop an oilfield in Pangkalan Brandan, North Sumatra, and initially led by August Kessler, Hugo Loudon, and Henri Deterding. The "Shell" Transport and Trading Company (the quotation marks were part of the legal name) was a British company, founded in 1897 by Marcus Samuel, 1st Viscount Bearsted, and his brother Samuel Samuel. Their father had owned an antique company in Houndsditch, London, which expanded in 1833 to import and sell seashells, after which the company "Shell" took its name.

For various reasons, the new firm operated as a dual-listed company, whereby the merging companies maintained their legal existence, but operated as a single-unit partnership for business purposes. The terms of the merger gave 60 percent ownership of the new group to the Dutch arm and 40 percent to the British.

National patriotic sensibilities would not permit a full-scale merger or takeover of either of the two companies. The Dutch company, Koninklijke Nederlandsche Petroleum Maatschappij at The Hague, was in charge of production and manufacture. The British Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company was based in London, to direct the transport and storage of the products.

meio relativo essa atualização . coloca a microsoft de 99 acima do valor da apple de hoje. e eles só tinham o windows 98 ainda...estranho né

@naoeoxi essa época de 99 foi quando a Microsoft, praticamente, dominava o mundo, foi quando os processos de anti-truste pegaram pesado contra ela.

Ironias do destino a parte, foi nessa época que a Microsoft investiu na Apple (para ter um concorrente no mercado) e praticamente salvou a Apple.

Se for para "achar estranho": a Companhia das Indias existiu 2 seculos antes da Revolução Industrial e do Capitalismo......
