Chapter 899

"Do you want to keep control of the company so much?" boss Jia smiled and said.

"Well, our company must be controlled by us!" Huang Yiming nodded. "This is also the idea of jedel and me. We will never hand over the control of the company to anyone, even..."

"Even if it's me..." boss Jia smiled. "Don't worry. In fact, I don't want to take control of your company, but I have a question. Is 4 million really enough?"

"That's enough. If we add five more servers and four optical fibers, even if 500000 people visit at the same time, that's enough!" Huang Yiming said confidently.

"Really?" boss Jia nodded. "If there are 1 million people?"

"Ah..." Huang Yiming was stunned and said, "now there are no 500000 Internet users in China. How can there be 1 million..."

"Not now. There will always be some in the future, and the speed is very fast. I estimate that the number of Internet users in the United States will exceed 600000 by the end of this year. At this time next year, the whole country may have more than 2 million Internet users. If these 2 million Internet users use our 51 search, is $4 million enough?"

"It's impossible, the development speed can't be so fast!" Huang Yiming exclaimed. The network in the United States has developed for five years, and now it has less than 500000 Internet users. How can it increase to more than 2 million in a year!

"That's because the previous network was not stable enough, and there were not enough websites to visit, and there were no practical tools like Yahoo and may day search."

"But now it's different. The whole country has more than 6 large-scale network service providers, more than 20000 different websites, more and more rich network services, and practical network tools such as 51 search and Yahoo!"

"I'll ask you, if you're just an ordinary netizen, do you agree if I let you leave the network and don't surf the Internet all your life?" boss Jia's question stunned Huang Yiming, then began to imagine that you lost the state of the network and immediately shook your head desperately.

"That's right. The development of the Internet is the general trend of the world, and no one can stop it. According to my estimation, by the millennium, the whole country may have more than 30 million Internet users, and the world will have more than 300 million Internet users. In the future, these 300 million Internet users are likely to use 51 search to search the websites they are interested in. Do you think it will be 400 by then Is ten thousand dollars enough? "

"This..." Huang Yiming was speechless. If there were 300 million users, let alone $4 million, 400 million would not be enough!

"Also, does your website have a profit model now?" boss Jia asked again.

"Profit model..." hearing boss Jia's question, Huang Yiming suddenly felt a pain in his head. This is what Huang Yiming is most worried about, because now 51 search really can't find any way to make a profit.

Although 51 now has so much network traffic, it doesn't have a penny of income. This is also a common problem of most network companies, that is, there is no real income.

In the early stage, some websites have tried the charging mode. They must purchase members of the website through bank remittance before they can use the website.

But this model was soon eliminated, because there is no service provided by any website that can make a large number of members willing to spend money to use.

"I've considered that we have so many users and can make profits through advertising!" Huang Yiming is not stupid, and he doesn't completely think of a way to make profits.

Advertising, which is recognized and practiced by all network companies, is the best profit method for the website.

Put some advertisements for real goods on the page of the website, and then you can make a profit. It's very simple.

But Huang Yiming doesn't have much confidence in his heart, because Yahoo has tried this way. As a portal with traffic comparable to May Day search, Yahoo's page has launched many advertisements for real goods.

But in reality, the effect is not good. First, the network is a new media platform, and now all companies are quite dismissive of the network. They don't think that the network with only hundreds of thousands of Internet users can be compared with the traditional TV media with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers.

Therefore, there are not many companies that finally put advertisements on Yahoo. Even if there are so few, they are facing the dilemma of low conversion rate, that is, 100000 viewers may see this advertisement, but the people who really buy products because of this advertisement are no more than 100, and the advertising conversion rate is less than 1 ‰.

Such advertising conversion rate is difficult to attract customers, although the conversion rate of TV media is almost one thousandth.

Now all network companies are basically operating at a loss and have not found a way to make a profit. However, we don't care. Anyway, all the rising network companies now operate with the money of investors. We don't have to consider the problem of profitability.

"Mr. Jia, since you say so, there must be a way!" Huang Yiming looked forward to boss Jia and asked.

"Of course!" boss Jia smiled and nodded, "but I can't tell you now!"

"Understand!" Huang Yiming smiled awkwardly. If he wanted Jia Yapeng's advice, I'm afraid he had to wait until 51 completed the acquisition!

"Little fat man, to tell you the truth, I have only one plan, that is, to wholly acquire all the shares of your 51 search!" boss Jia said "My conditions remain unchanged. I will buy all the shares for $20 million. As CEO and CTO, you two will each have a salary of $50000 per month. At the end of the year, there will be additional bonuses according to the development of the website."

"In addition, I can give each of you 10% of the option shares. After the company makes profits, each of you can get 10% of the dividend every year!"

"As for the control of the website, I am not interested, and I don't think I can do better than you two, so I can assure you that as long as there are no major mistakes in the operation of the website, I will never move your two control over 51 search."

"What is a major mistake?" Huang Yiming pondered and asked.

"It's very simple. If the online users of the second search engine company surpass you at the same time, you've made a major mistake!" boss Jia said very simply.

"No problem!" Huang Yiming nodded hard. Although he knew that many other Internet companies were also developing search engines, 51 search, which occupied a huge first mover advantage, would be a major mistake if it was surpassed by other search engines. It was also right for them to get out.

"That's such a happy decision?" boss Jia asked with a smile.

"I have no problem!" Huang Yiming smiled cunningly. "But my partner has not agreed. He also owns 50% of the company. Whether you can convince him depends on Lao Jia's ability!"
