“Larry Page, Sergey, who is this?” Seeing Jiang Yizhou following the two who lived here, Susan Wojcicki clearly did not trust this Asian man much.
“Susan, relax, let me introduce you. This is our investor, Mr. Jiang, you can call him Tony. Tony, this is our landlord, Susan Wojcicki!” Sergey introduced both parties.
Susan Wojcicki showed a surprised expression, “Oh, is he your investor? Did this Jiang find out that you are wasting his money?”
Larry Page explained with little confidence, “Susan, Tony is just here to talk things over with us, and it’s not a waste. We’re just trying to improve our lives to work better, and Tony has known about this for a while, okay?”
“Alright then, I won’t disturb you!” Seeing that Jiang Yizhou didn’t look angry but was instead enjoying watching them, Susan realized her worries were unnecessary and returned to the house.
Walking into the garage, there were several tables and various electronic devices, which was pretty much what he expected. Jiang Yizhou casually sat down on a chair, “I want to know how far you’ve gotten.”
“We’ve encountered some difficulties recently, so… we haven’t made much progress. But don’t worry, we’re already preparing to establish the company and recruit staff!” The situation was just as vague as that.
Jiang Yizhou naturally wasn’t worried about any problems. “Is that so? But the agreement states that if you can’t complete it, I will have to intervene!” In the agreement, Jiang Yizhou had secured quite a few rights for himself, such as the right to proportionally increase his shares and some management authority, which would be activated if they failed to complete the search engine on time.
“Of course, we will adhere to the contents of the agreement. However, Tony, you also wrote a plan. I’m very curious about its contents,” Larry Page shifted the topic.
Jiang Yizhou took out a printed Plan from his bag. “To be clear, my plan is based on the premise that your search engine is the best search engine.”
In an instant, both Stanford PhDs felt a bit of pressure. The following content only intensified this feeling; from right-side advertising to bidding ranking ad models and online advertising display alliances, they saw some shadows of Double Click Company, though it was quite different.
This was a complete development direction Plan suitable for the search engine they were developing. To distinguish Reborn Person from others was naturally about seeing through the fog of history. Although limited, that little bit of direction was enough to change history. And now Jiang Yizhou could just push forward the development of Google before it even existed.
"This is why I have high hopes for your Google search engine," Jiang Yizhou concluded. "The best way to profit from a search engine, aside from providing search services for large websites, is through advertising. There’s no need to transform into a Portal like Yahoo; instead, you should utilize your technology to deliver ads as precisely as possible!"
Both Larry Page and Sergey Brin were moved by the future blueprint that Jiang Yizhou painted. It was a direction that had already been explored for profitability, and regardless of whether the idea would ultimately succeed, it was worth trying. Isn’t venture capital meant to take risks for entrepreneurs? The investor before them exuded confidence; why shouldn’t they continue?
The desire to sell the search engine stemmed merely from its current value not being significant enough to warrant further development by the two.
Although Jiang Yizhou did not receive an answer, he could already see the response he wanted on Larry Page and Sergey's faces.
There was no way around it; in terms of pure technology, the two Stanford PhDs could easily outperform him with one hand tied behind their backs. Especially for a great tech company like Google, they were indispensable—what was an investor anyway?
There were countless investors, but there was only one Google. According to history, as the Internet Bubble continued to grow, finding venture capital became a simple task; it just meant that the founding of the company would be delayed a bit.
What could a Reborn Person do? They could engage in highly replaceable activities that relied on information advantages, such as opening internet cafes, buying property, or investing in stocks that were guaranteed to rise.
Of course, if one possessed high-value skills and knowledge before being reborn, they could relive their peak life once more.
"You all need to recruit staff quickly; I will also join your efforts to supervise progress!" This was Jiang Yizhou's goal—to enter the founding team of Google under the guise of supervision and guidance. He felt it was worthwhile; this was a company far greater than qi. Since he had the opportunity to get involved, why not?
...
"Unanimously approved. Next, we will begin the business split of the company. Ailumese will establish two subsidiaries: one focused on qi-related business and the other on open products like blogs and Mailbox!" Song Rushi announced the voting results at the board meeting.
Some subtle indications from Jiang Yizhou had already reached the ears of major shareholders. Regarding his stance that now was not the time to consider other matters, even shareholders who initially intended to sell their stocks began to wait.
Since America Online is so eager to acquire Qi, it will be interesting to see what price they offer once the recently acquired funds are exhausted. Most shareholders remain optimistic.
This eagerness is also due to the excitement of America Online's founder, Stephen Case, who is clearly in a hurry and has the financial backing to make bold moves.
It is a rather crazy time; in Silicon Valley, money is everywhere. Even companies like Bradas can be acquired by Yahoo for stock valued at fifty-seven billion dollars, which happened back in 1999.
However, that time is not far off. Jiang Yizhou is looking forward to seeing what price America Online will set when they decide to make their next acquisition.
"Yi Zhou, wait a moment. Do you want to step outside and talk?" Xiong Xiaoge called out to Jiang Yizhou.
The Qi business, now separated, has already been valued at over three hundred million dollars. After all, America Online is willing to pay five hundred million dollars or equivalent stock for an acquisition, which has significantly boosted its value. Xiong Xiaoge has given up his plans to return home for the sake of his shares here and has settled in Silicon Valley, getting closer to cashing out, so he naturally needs to stay alert.
"Brother Xiong, sure! Did you not sleep at all last night?" Jiang Yizhou said with a smile, noticing the dark circles under Xiong Xiaoge's eyes.
He probably overthought things and wanted to gauge his position since this is a deal worth over a hundred million dollars; he cannot afford to be careless.
