On the 2B-Finam website , in the “Rumors” section, a message was published that, perhaps, the RuNet is expecting a major deal in the near future. “According to our source, German Klimenko, owner of the famous LiveInternet statistics service (formerly Rax.Ru), has been negotiating with Western investors for several months over the sale of a stake in the project,” the note says. Indirectly confirm this information plans of LiveInternet management in the near future to launch services in Chinese and Spanish.
"Habrahabr" asked Herman Klimenko questions about the deal and new services.
According to the owner of LiveInternet, in one form or another, various negotiations on cooperation, sale or co-ownership are conducted by all the major resources that occupy leading positions in their niches. “We are certainly no exception,” German said, “since the statistics and blog services in their niches look more than worthy. Since the beginning of this year, the intensity of negotiations has increased significantly. Foreign investors show interest in the statistics service, which is understandable - the service adapts quite easily and fully functional. ”
According to Rumors, “negotiations are most likely being conducted with Yahoo , as well as with individual Russian companies (possibly with Rambler ). Of course, Google can be considered a potential buyer ."who shows great interest in such assets, but Klimenko publicly denies that he has any relationship with this company."
German confirmed the information about the upcoming appearance of new LiveInternet services: “It is planned to launch several services abroad. Services are currently being translated into Chinese and Spanish. ” According to him, they will find hosting, launch services in other language zones.
To the question of “Habrahabr” about the meaning of the initiative to move to the West, German Klimenko answered: “Launching a statistics service, for example in Poland, requires only one server to be rented. I’m very interested to check how the solution demanded in Russia will be acceptable for webmasters of other countries. ” He estimates the probability of such an event as quite high.
