Now what?
After two companies have merged, it is natural to ask what will happen next (the majority of mergers eventually fail). Instead of a literal translation (how does it continue?), the more natural way to express the thought is, "Now what?"
Example sentence:
Merrill Lynch has merged with Bank of America--now what?

Herzlichen Dank, hazmatgerman! Man könnte schon 'what next?' sagen, aber nach meinem Geschmack ist das nicht allzu stilvoll - ein bißchen abrupt vielleicht?
