"Old Jia! Help me! " Huang Yiming looked at Boss Jia for help. Boss Jia smiled and said, "Do you know that there is a saying in Hua Xia?"
"What saying?" Little Gerald asked curiously.
"Only children can choose. Adults will take both!" Boss Jia stroked Little Jelde's head and said with a smile, "Do you know what this means?"
"Yes!" Little Gerald nodded hard. "You said that I'm a child!"
"Er …" Boss Jia coughed. "I mean, why do you have to choose one of the two? Isn't it better to take both?"
"Is there such a saying in Hua Xia? My mother didn't teach me that! " Little Gerald murmured and decided to go home and ask his parents if they had heard of such a saying.
However, thinking that his mother was born in Wanwan and his father was from ABC, the probability that they did not know about it was not small.
"Can I?" On the other side, Little Gerald looked at Boss Jia in surprise.
"Of course. How about this? As long as you join Daqian, I will also appoint you as one of the game designers of Blizzard Studio. You can work here and keep in touch with Blizzard through the Internet. You can work through the Internet!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Okay!" Little Gerald looked at Huang Yiming's pitiful eyes and finally agreed. Boss Jia was relieved and then began to prepare for the specific signing of the contract.
The whole signing process was supposed to be fast. With the experience of Huang Yiming and Little Gerald, the two children, they could even sign the contract directly on the same day.
Of course, Boss Jia would not cheat them on the contract. After all, Little Gerald's talent was too outstanding. Boss Jia even thought that Little Gerald's value alone could exceed 100 million dollars.
However, Boss Jia did not expect that when the contract was about to be signed, a person suddenly appeared and blocked the signing of the contract.
If it was someone else, Boss Jia would have asked the security guards to chase them away. However, this person was Little Gerald's father, which made Boss Jia feel very helpless.
Moreover, Old Gerald's reason was very reasonable. As the father of the child, he certainly had to read the contract carefully several times to see if there were any loopholes in it. This was a very legitimate reason, and Boss Jia could not refuse it at all.
Moreover, Jelde was not even 18 years old yet. Without the permission of his guardian, the legal contract was not valid. Therefore, no matter what, Boss Jia had to go through Old Gerald's father.
With such a generous offer, Old Jeld should have no reason to reject it!
Boss Jia comforted himself.

"A very strict contract!" Although he wasn't a lawyer and hadn't studied law, as a senior banking expert, he was most familiar with word games.
What's more, this was a financing contract. For banking experts, this was their old profession!
Therefore, after reviewing the contract several times, Old Gerald was sure that the boss of the Daqian Group did not cheat his son. This contract was indeed signed according to the rules they agreed on, and there were no traps. This made Old Gerald's attitude towards Boss Jia improved a lot.
Ever since he knew that the company started by his son and his friends had received the idea of financing from several large companies, Old Gerald understood that his son might really come up with something great.
In order to prevent his son from being cheated, Old Gerald deliberately took a long leave and then came to New York. He planned to check on his son and prevent him from being cheated.
Of course, Old Gerald knew his son's character very well. If he showed up at the beginning, his son would definitely be dissatisfied.
Therefore, Old Gerald arranged for the two of them to enter the company in the name of taking care of Jelde. One of them would secretly take care of Jelde, while the other would report everything in the company to Old Gerald. Only then did Old Gerald know that a company that had just arrived for less than a day had already won over Huang Yiming and his son and was ready to sign a financing contract.
Old Gerald hurriedly came forward to stop them and bought himself a night to review the contract.
"Since there's no problem with this contract, let's agree!" Old Gerald's wife said. When the woman saw that Boss Jia was going to buy the company with 20 million US dollars, she was in a state of ecstasy. She was willing to do it. After all, this was the highest price among all the companies.
Moreover, it was 20 million US dollars. She and her husband had worked hard all their lives to earn more than 10 million US dollars. However, her son had earned more than her lifetime's worth of money in just a few months. How could Mrs. Gerald not be excited?
"It's not that simple. This Daqian Group wants to swallow the whole 51 Search and buy all the shares. Although there are clauses in the contract to guarantee our son's management rights, what does our son know about management? There's no difference if he has the rights or not. It's all for that brat!" Old Gerald snorted coldly and said, "The most important thing is that this Daqian Group is only willing to give our son 10% of the dividends. Compared with 50% of the shares, it's too much!"
"But didn't you say that our son's company won't make a profit for at least a few years?" Mrs. Gerald said. "If there's no profit, there won't be any dividends. It doesn't matter if it's 1% or 50%. Besides, this company is willing to pay our son 50,000 US dollars a month, which is equivalent to twice your salary! "Mrs. Gerald said.
"…" Old Gerald's expression was awkward. His son's salary was higher than his and his wife's. It was too embarrassing.
"No, you don't understand. You don't know how crazy the valuation of internet companies is. Yahoo, which was founded last year, has applied to be listed this year. It's estimated that it will be open for business next year. Nasdaq values it as high as 500 million US dollars!"
"I think the potential of our son's company is not much worse than that of Yahoo. It can also have a valuation of 500 million US dollars in the future. When the time comes, 50% of the shares will be sold for 250 million US dollars. At that time, who would care about the 50,000 US dollars a month?" Old Gerald was indeed a big banker. He saw the huge potential of 51 Search at a glance.
"500 million US dollars!" Mrs. Gerald's eyes lit up. "In that case, why don't we invest? I think Yahoo's offer is 5 million US dollars for 50% of the shares. If we take out all our money, we will have 5 million US dollars. Why don't we invest this money in our son's company? Our son will have 75% of the shares!"
"Hmph, do you think I didn't think of that? But that treacherous little fatty didn't agree. Our son was also there to support him! " Old Gerald sighed. "In fact, he did this a long time ago. He found Huang Yiming and suggested that he should just do it himself. He didn't want others to take advantage of him!"
"Unfortunately, Old Gerald couldn't bear to part with 5 million US dollars. He was only willing to pay 2 million US dollars for 50% of the shares. On the other hand, although Huang Yiming did not fall out with Gerald, he found all kinds of excuses to decline the offer with a smile. In the end, he even dragged his son into the matter and got his son to reject him, which made Old Gerald very angry.
Huang Yiming was very smart. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied that the other party's offer was too low. On the other hand, he knew that once Old Gerald bought 50% of the company's shares, the Gerald family would own 75% of the company's shares. He would be completely marginalized in the company. Perhaps the company's manager would become the ambitious Old Gerald. He would have to stand aside and even be kicked out of the company like Jobs. This was something Huang Yiming could not agree to.
Therefore, the best choice was to bring in outsiders who had a better relationship with him.
This guy was smart!
