Chapter 476 $1.5 Billion

Li Jin not only knew clearly that Yahoo would use their engine technology.

And we also know that Guge relied on this cooperation to accumulate a large amount of technology and information in this short period of one year, and completely improved the Guge search engine.

The reason for agreeing to this cooperation is that Yahu does not think that a search engine is a big market at all. At best, it is just a small direction to provide some technical entrance for comprehensive Internet companies like them.

Since Guge is willing to provide technology for free, Yahu is too lazy to let the team research search engine technology.

But when they realized that search engines would become the entrance to the entire Internet, it was too late.

At that time, Guge's technology was completely mature, and no matter how awesome Yahu's technical team was, it was impossible to catch up with Guge's technology in a short period of time.

What's more, Guge has accumulated a large number of users and market share. At that time, it can completely abandon Yahu and go it alone.

After that, Yahu became angry and abandoned Gu Ge. Gu Ge didn't care at all and went solo.

So the ancient songs rose, and the Yahu fell.

"I am willing to continue investing." Li Jin said.

Li Jin's words surprised both Page and Brin.

"I don't know what your request is, Mr. Li?" Page asked cautiously.

Li Jin smiled meaningfully and said: "In my opinion, Guge Company does not need other shareholders except the three of us, so I plan to hold at least 70% of the shares."

As soon as these words came out, Page and Brin both frowned.

Because from Li Jin's words, they smelled exactly the same as Morrison... greed!

"But one thing is that I am not involved in the daily operations of the company, and I will not interfere with your management rights." Li Jin seemed to fully understand the concerns of Page and Brin, and took the initiative to explain.

Page and Brin were surprised: "Mr. Li, are you serious?"

Li Jin shrugged and said, "We are talking about a big business now. I have no reason to joke with you at this time. Of course, in order to ensure my interests, you must accept my request to take charge of the company's financial rights."

Page nodded and said: "This is natural, but the shareholding ratio you require is too high."

Li Jin drank tea and looked at Page with a smile, waiting for him to continue.

Page took a deep breath, and after reaching a tacit understanding with Brin's eyes, he said: "After all, taking 70% of the shares means not only kicking out all other shareholders, but also reducing Brin and I's shareholdings. This... price A little too big.”

"Whether the price is high or not depends on what you pay and what you get."

"What you need to pay is 70% of the shares, but what you get is 1 million US dollars. I promise that the first 5 million will be available on the day we sign the contract, and the second 1 million will be available on the day we sign the contract." U.S. dollars will arrive within 5000 months.”

Li Jin's words were like a flame, completely igniting Page and Brin's ambitions.

"1 billion!?"

Paige shouted in surprise.

Even Brin had an excited look on his face.

Now, their ancient song company is only worth 1 million US dollars, but Li Jin only needs 70% of the shares now, but he is willing to pay 1 million US dollars for it.

This is equivalent to tripling the value of Guge Company in an instant.

In contrast, Morrison's price tag of 6000 million US dollars not only required 80% of the shares, but also control of the management of the entire company, which meant that they could kick out the two founders at any time.

Compared with Li Jin's generosity, Morrison is simply sending away a beggar.

"I can sign a contract at any time, but I don't have much time to stay in the United States. I have to return to China as soon as possible to deal with some things, so if you two need time to think about it, please give me news as soon as possible." Li Jin said.

Page and Brin said at the same time: "Don't think about it, we agree."

Li Jin stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand, and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

Page and Brin looked at each other and shook hands with Li Jin respectively, "It will be very pleasant."

"Okay, we will sign tomorrow. As we agreed, I will not interfere in the daily management of the company, but you can contact me at any time if you need advice. Of course, the decision-making power rests with you."

"In addition, I hope that the persuasion work of several other shareholders can be completed as soon as possible, because I will only pay my investment when the shares are in my name."

Li Jin's words made Page and Brin nod.

"Mr. Li, we will get things done as soon as possible."

After deciding on the ancient song, Li Jin was in a good mood.

It was already late at this time, so Li Jin directly helped the two of them open a suite in the hotel, and then took Tang Jun with him and chatted for several hours.

Everyone works in the same industry, and Page and Brin are top technology tycoons, so their words can give Li Jin and Tang Jun a lot of inspiration.

And top professional managers like Tang Jun can give them a lot of inspiration in business management, so this conversation that lasted for most of the night was very pleasant.

It wasn't until after two o'clock in the morning that Li Jin returned to his room and fell asleep.

Li Jin got up the next day, planning to find a time to return to China after signing the contract with Gu Ge, but something went wrong while signing.

"Mr. Li, we have communicated with several other shareholders before. They were very willing to sell their shares at first. But just this morning when we were about to confirm the time for signing the contract, they suddenly regretted it."

Brin's face didn't look good either. He felt that something went wrong when his two brothers cooperated with Li Jin for the first time, which was very embarrassing.

"We asked one of the shareholders, who is also our classmate, and she has a good relationship with us, so she told the truth. Earlier today, Leiman Investment Bank got involved in this transaction, and they are contacting other shareholders privately. , hoping to buy their shares at a high price.”
