"Do you want to keep control of the company so much?" Boss Jia smiled when he heard this, and then said.

"Well, our company, we have to control it!" Huang Yiming nodded and said, "This is also what Jedel and I think, we will never hand over the control of the company to anyone, not even ......"

"Even if it's my ......" Boss Jia smiled, "Don't worry, in fact, I don't have the idea of snatching control of your company, but I have a question, is 4 million really enough?" ”

"That's enough, we only need to add five more servers and four fibers, even if 500,000 people access at the same time, that's enough!" Huang Yiming said confidently.

"Really?" Boss Jia nodded: "Then if there are 1 million people?" ”

"Ah......" Huang Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Now there are no 500,000 netizens in the whole country, how can there be 1 million ......?"

"Not now, there will always be in the future, and the speed is very fast, I estimate that by the end of this year, the number of netizens in the United States will exceed 600,000, and by this time next year, the whole country will probably have more than 2 million netizens, if these 2 million netizens come to use our 51 search, is 4 million dollars enough?"

"It can't be, it's impossible to develop so fast!" Huang Yiming exclaimed, after five years of development, the Internet in the United States is now less than 500,000 netizens, how can it increase to more than 2 million after a year!

"That's because the previous network was not stable enough, and the number of websites that could be accessed was not enough, and there were no useful tools like Yahoo and Wuyi Search."

"But now it's different, the country has more than 6 large Internet service providers, with more than 20,000 different websites, as well as more and more abundant network services, as well as 51 search and Yahoo such practical web tools!"

"Let me ask you, if you are just an ordinary netizen, I will let you leave the Internet now and never go online for the rest of your life, will you agree?" Boss Jia's question made Huang Yiming stunned for a moment, and then began to imagine that he had lost the network, and immediately shook his head desperately.

"That's right, the development of the Internet is the general trend of the world, no one can stop it, according to my estimates, by the end of the millennium, the whole country will probably have more than 30 million Internet users, and the world will have more than 300 million Internet users, and these 300 million Internet users, in the future, it is very likely that they will use 51 search to search for the websites they are interested in, do you think 4 million US dollars will be enough by then?"

"This ......" Huang Yiming was speechless, if there are really 300 million users, let alone 4 million US dollars, 400 million is not enough!

"Also, does your website have a monetization model now?" Boss Jia asked again.

"Profit model ......" Hearing Boss Jia's question, Huang Yiming suddenly had a headache, this is what Huang Yiming is most worried about, because now 51 search really can't find any way to make a profit.

Don't look at the fact that 51 has a huge network traffic now, but it does not have a penny of income, which is also a common problem of most network companies at present, that is, there is no actual income.

In the early stage, some websites have tried the model of charging and using, and you must buy the membership of the website through bank transfer, and then you can use the website.

But this model was quickly phased out, because there is no website that provides a service that a large number of members are willing to spend money on.

"I thought about it, we have so many users that we can monetize through advertising!" Huang Yiming is not stupid, and he is not completely unaware of the way to make a profit.

Advertising is also recognized by all Internet companies at present, and it is also practiced, and it is the best way to make money for websites.

It's very simple to put some ads on the pages of the website with some real products, and then you can make a profit.

But Huang Yiming doesn't have much confidence in his heart, because Yahoo has already tried such a way, as a portal whose traffic can be comparable to that of May Day search, Yahoo's page has launched many advertisements for real products.

First of all, the Internet is a new media platform, and now all companies are quite dismissive of the Internet, they don't think that the network with only a few hundred thousand netizens can be compared with the traditional TV media with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers.

Therefore, in the end, there are not many companies that advertise on Yahoo, even if there are a few, but they are facing the dilemma of low conversion rate, that is, there may be 100,000 viewers who have seen this advertisement, but no more than 100 people really buy products because of this advertisement, and the advertising conversion rate is less than 1‰.

It is difficult to attract customers with such an advertising conversion rate, although the conversion rate of TV media is almost 1 in 1,000.

At present, all Internet companies are basically operating at a loss, and they have not found a way to make a profit. But everyone doesn't care, anyway, all the rising Internet companies now rely on investors' money to operate, and you don't have to think about profitability.

"Mr. Jia, since you say so, there must be a way!" Huang Yiming looked at Boss Jia expectantly and asked.

"Absolutely!" Boss Jia smiled and nodded, "But I can't tell you now!" ”

"Understood!" Huang Yiming smiled awkwardly, if he wants to get Jia Yapeng's guidance, I'm afraid he can only wait until 51 completes the acquisition!

"Little fat man, let's be honest, I have only one plan, that is, to wholly acquire all the shares of your 51 search!" Boss Jia Tu saw that "my conditions remain the same, 20 million US dollars, to acquire all the shares, the two of you as the CEO and CTO, each have a salary of 50,000 US dollars per month, and at the end of the year, according to the development of the website, there will be additional bonuses." ”

"In addition, I can give each of you 10% of the option shares, and when the company makes a profit, each of you can get 10% of the dividend every year!"

"As for the control of the website, I have no interest, and I don't think I can do it better than the two of you, so I can assure you that as long as the website does not make major mistakes in the operation of the website, I will never touch the control of the two of you in 51 search."

"What do you mean by a major mistake?" Huang Yiming groaned, and then asked.

"Quite simply, if a second search engine company surpasses you with simultaneous online users, you've made a major mistake!" What Boss Jia said is indeed very simple.

"No problem!" Huang Yiming nodded vigorously, although he knew that there were already many other Internet companies that were also developing search engines, but 51 Search, which had a huge first-mover advantage, was surpassed by other search engines, it was indeed a major mistake, and the two of them should get out.

"Then the matter was so happily decided?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.

"I'm fine!" Huang Yiming showed a sly smile, "But my partner hasn't agreed yet, he also owns 50% of the company's shares, whether you can convince him depends on your ability, Lao Jia!" ”
