Old Gerald watched helplessly as Jia Yapeng and Besos signed the contract on his table. Even the contract template used for signing the contract was modified from the '51' contract. After all, the terms of both parties were almost the same. It was just that some numbers were different. Besos also believed that Da Qian would not deceive him, which made Old Gerald feel very amused.
"Uncle, let's sign the contract!" Huang Yiming walked quietly to Old Gerald's side and said faintly, "Uncle, I believe in Mr. Jia's character. He won't harm us. He really wants 51 to do a good job!"
"Besides, with Da Qian shielding us from the wind and rain, I think Little Jelde will be able to do his own thing with peace of mind. His greatest interest is actually to be able to join Da Qian's Diablo World. Little Jelde's happiness is the most important thing, isn't it?"
"I understand!" Old Jardine was beaten down by Boss Jia's series of combo punches. He could only watch helplessly as so many big companies either left or surrendered. His confidence had long been beaten to the point that he was scared of Boss Jia.
After hearing Huang Yiming's words, he immediately nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave it all to Mr. Jia!"
"Okay!" Boss Jia heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Old Jardine was too crucial. The 50% shares in his hands could neither stop everything nor decide everything, but it could delay the whole thing.
Boss Jia was Little Gerald's father. As the legal guardian, all the shares were firmly in the hands of Old Gerald before Little Gerald became an adult. There was nothing Boss Jia could do.
Therefore, Boss Jia was greatly relieved that Old Gerald finally understood and agreed to sign the contract. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have to abandon 51 and find a way to find the original founder of Google.
"Okay, I'll change the amount, and we can sign the contract!" Just as Boss Jia was about to change the 20 million dollars to 30 million dollars, the door of Little Gerald's room suddenly opened. The little guy walked out of the room and said directly, "It's 20 million dollars, no need to change it."
"My son!" Old Gerald quickly replied upon hearing his son's words.
"Enough, Father!" Little Gerald said impatiently, "A man should keep his word. Since we agreed yesterday that it would be 20 million US dollars, then it will be 20 million US dollars. If you object again, I will commit suicide in front of you!"
"Good heavens …" Boss Jia finally experienced the horror of Little Gerald. Old Gerald also kept quiet out of fear. His son was not using suicide as an excuse, he would really commit suicide.
"20 million then!" Although Huang Yiming felt that it was a pity, he still nodded and agreed with Old Jardine.
"Mr. Jeld Jr., actually …"
"Mr. Jia, it's 20 million. If you want to change it, then there's no need to sign the contract!" Little Jelde said firmly. Jia Yapeng smiled and signed his name on the contract. His favorable impression of Little Jelde skyrocketed. "What a good kid! He's much better than Liu Nian who's becoming more and more a bastard."
In this way, Boss Jia finally completed the acquisition of 51 Search, and at the same time, he also bought Amazon. Bezos also signed a 20-year contract with Boss Jia, and the price of all this was only 50 million US dollars.
By the way, Boss Jia would continue to inject about 200 million US dollars into these two companies, so that these two companies could enter a state of rapid development. However, this was a small amount of money, Boss Jia did not care. Anyway, he would earn back thousands of dollars in the future.
Some people might find it strange. In fact, in addition to 51 Search and Amazon, there was also Yahoo, a big company with great potential.
Even if Yahoo went bankrupt later, it had a total market value of 125 billion US dollars at its peak. Why didn't Boss Jia buy Yahoo?
There were many reasons. The main reason was that Yahoo was now very expensive. Yang Zhiyuan always talked about 500 million US dollars. This guy really thought that his company was worth 500 million US dollars. If he still wanted to buy Yahoo, did he really have to fork out 500 million US dollars?
Although 500 million US dollars in exchange for 125 billion US dollars in the future was very profitable, Boss Jia felt that it was not necessary at all, because 51 Search was enough to replace everything in Yahoo.
As mentioned before, search engines and web portals are a perfect match. In the future, every web portal will have its own search engine, and a search engine will also have its own website index function. So, 51 Search will definitely be a web portal in the future. So, there is no point in acquiring Yahoo.
Moreover, Boss Jia did not buy a company because he valued the company's business. Otherwise, as long as Boss Jia was willing to spend money, there was nothing that he could not create.
The key was the people who created these websites. They were the most important. Without these people's management, these websites would probably be swallowed by competitors in the future. This was also the reason why Boss Jia bought Amazon for 30 million US dollars, even though he knew that Amazon was only worth 200,000 US dollars. It was because Bezos was indeed worth this price.
Although the combination of Huang Yiming and Little Gerald had never been heard of in the future, and Boss Jia himself was not too sure whether they could succeed in 51 Search. However, Boss Jia could vaguely feel an aura from these two little guys. It was this aura that made Boss Jia feel that these two guys could succeed.
However, after the acquisition, Boss Jia directly brought Huang Yiming and Little Gerald to a small conference room, then opened a series of PowerPoint slides and gave them a meeting directly.
"Listen up, my suggestion is that 51 Search must complete a new page revision within this year. The search box should not be placed at the top, it must be placed at the center of the page!"
"Then, within a month, we must build our portal. Don't worry about the lack of manpower. I will give you 100 million US dollars. You can recruit as many talents as you want, and then finish everything as quickly as possible. Finally, under the search box, there must be a prominent portal index."
"For example, news, games, BBS, companies, etc. These main indexes must be placed at the top. In addition, put more at the back. If you click on more, you will enter our 51 Portal!"
Boss Jia talked about his development plan, but Little Gerald was not interested at all. He was almost dozing off. Only Huang Yiming nodded repeatedly, and at the same time, asked some questions from time to time.
"Boss, why do you have to leave so much white space on the front of the page? We don't have to do anything more. Can't we just add more portals in these white spaces?"
"And these spaces can also be used to put advertisements. This is the position with the highest exposure. An advertisement can earn thousands of US dollars a day. We can't give it up!" Huang Yiming said, puzzled.
"Do you know what layout and color aesthetics are?" Boss Jia knocked on Huang Yiming's head and said, "The homepage of a search engine needs so much white space, and then the engine frame will be highlighted. This will give all users a comfortable experience, and they will be more willing to use clear and concise pages. This is the best page composition!"
"I don't understand, but I think it looks good with colorful colors!" Huang Yiming muttered.
"Don't worry, trust me. You will understand how important my request is in the future!" Boss Jia said confidently. Considering Boss Jia's wealth of billions of US dollars, Huang Yiming could only nod, indicating that he believed in Boss Jia.
In fact, Boss Jia did not know anything about layout and color aesthetics, but he knew that in another world, whether it was Google or Baidu, their pages were all like this. More than 70% of their pages were blank. Could it be that they did not know how to follow suit?
