Chapter 1327 - Take Yaho: Medium
"David ......"
Yang looked at David Ferro from afar, and stopped talking.
But in fact, there was no need for Yang Yuan to say anything, David Ferro smiled bitterly and said, "Jerry, I understand what you mean, in fact, at this point, we actually have no choice." β
Yang Yuan's eyes widened: "Why do you say that?"
"It's very simple, this search box, data research companies can give us yaho, you can give infoseek, you can give excite, you can give any company that makes search engines," Speaking of this, David Ferro sighed: "You say, do we still have options?"
β......β
Yang Yuan was speechless.
Only then did he realize how serious the problem was, with the current market share of "good123η½εnavigationε€§ε ¨", which search service company gave this search box to, that search service company could instantly dominate the entire search service market, and other search service companies could only close their doors.
Yaho doesn't agree?
Okay, then I'll give this search box to someone else, and you yaho will die.
"And, you know, the school has informed us that from next month, we will not be allowed to use the school's servers and bandwidth anymore," David Ferro continued: "We've been busy with this these days, and you know how much a server costs, how much 100M bandwidth costs, and Srivanisan has also withdrawn, although yaho's shares belong to the two of us, but if we can't quickly find the funds to buy the servers and bandwidth......"
Yaho has three co-founders, namely Yang Yuan, David Ferro and a classmate named Srivanisan, the reason why these three people are high search engines is actually because of interest: last year, that is, in 1994, the professors of the three of them took a year off, taking this opportunity, Yang Yuan, David Ferro and Srivanisan, three young people who were very interested in the Internet and had good skills, quietly put down their research work and began to make a software for the Internet to classify and query websites, which became Yaho.
The three of them put this search tool on the Stanford University campus website for free, because this search tool is very easy to use, and soon, this year, Stanford University's servers and network can no longer handle the growing traffic of the Yaho search engine, and the university will definitely not be able to increase the server and bandwidth, so last month, the university notified Yang Yuan, David Ferro, and Srivani Sang, giving them a month to move Yaho.
Moving the servers from Stanford not only meant that the trio could no longer use Stanford's servers and bandwidth resources, but also that they had to think about the future development of Yaho: they had to register a company to operate Yaho.
David Ferro and Yang Yuan felt that they could do this, but Srivanisan, one of the three co-founders, couldn't accept it, he thought that it was a bit inappropriate for the three of them to take advantage of the professor's absence to do this thing privately, and it was even more inappropriate to drop out of school to start a company. Considering Yaho's market capitalization of $128 billion at its peak, if you were to line up the most depressed people in the world, this dude Srivanisan would definitely be at the top.
Yang Yuan stopped talking, and finally realized that what his partner said was really right, and there was really no choice for Yaho: either give up 70% of the shares, and at the same time catch the high-speed development train of the data research company, and no longer have to worry about servers and bandwidth in the future, or watch others catch this train, and Yaho can only die.
β...... Okay," Yang Yuan took a deep breath, but he was still a little unwilling: "Maybe...... Can we give them a little less of a stake, say half?"
David Ferro sighed, "Dude, don't you understand, Mr. Clark didn't come to us this time to discuss with us, but to inform us...... You think it's okay to be an ultimatum, I say that, do you understand? I know you may not be reconciled, but that's okay, if you want to try, I can cooperate with you. β
Yang Yuan was indeed a little unwilling, but when he heard his partner say this, he hesitated, hesitated, and finally nodded: "Then I'll give it a try, anyway, there is nothing to lose if you try." β
David Ferro really kept his promise, nodded and said, "OK, how do you need me to cooperate?"
From David Ferro's heart, he is actually a little unwilling: That's 70% of the shares, after the 70% of the shares are given up, how much will the two of them be left?
........................
When Yang Yuan suggested that the data research company wanted too many shares and hoped to reduce some shares, Anthony Clark laughed: "Mr. Yang, you only saw that we didn't pay a penny, but do you know how much the cost of the server and bandwidth alone will need as soon as this search box is launched? Not to mention the diversion we give you, how much should this part of the cost be worth?"
Believe it or not, as long as we release the conditions for providing servers and bandwidth and search boxes, your peers will immediately step on the threshold of our company?"
β......β
Yang Yuan immediately turned his head to look at his partner David Ferro: What should I do?
Facing Yang Yuan's gaze, David Ferro shrugged: "You ask me what to do? I also want to know what to do."
Anthony Clark is so effective that both David Ferro and Yang Yuan know that once the data research company announces their conditions, those search engine companies will definitely pounce as quickly as possible, crying and shouting for Dad.
Just when Yang Yuan was pondering how to speak, Anthony Clark stood up: "Both, please remember one thing, this is the data research company giving you another chance, not the data research company begging you to give us a chance, I will give the two of you two days to negotiate, if I don't receive a call from you two days later, I will think that the two of you have given up...... Oh yes,"
Speaking of this, Anthony Clark suddenly patted his head: "I forgot to tell the two of you, although we want to take away 70% of the shares, but the head office only retains the right to veto major affairs and the supervision of finance, personnel appointment and dismissal, the company's daily operation and management, technology development and other matters, etc., are still decided by the two people, that is, the company is still dominated by two people." β
Hey?
The day-to-day operation of the company is still left to the two of them?
Anthony Clark's words made Yang Yuan and David Ferro's eyes light up, and they felt a lot better: if they could retain the company's daily operation rights...... Uh-huh...... It doesn't seem that it is impossible to consider agreeing to the other party's conditions?
