Chapter 496: Yahoo Has Struck It Rich!

After sending off the last group of people, Chen Jiajun also left the hotel.

Having caused such a huge incident, that group's plan definitely could not continue.

And this time, it was merely a warning! To pick up the people, Chen Jiajun had specifically ordered all the cruise ships in Brunei to be sailed over.

Although it exceeded the cruise ships' passenger capacity, this was, after all, an evacuation; by squeezing in, it was still possible to take everyone away.

It was just unexpected that they would be pursued by the Yani Haijun on the return voyage.

A light frigate sailed over, demanding that Chen Jiajun and the others stop their ships to submit to their inspection.

Clearly, the high-ranking military officials of Indonesia had already figured out the retreat route of Chen Jiajun and his group and had specifically called upon the navy to intercept them.

Regarding such an unreasonable demand, Chen Jiajun refused without even thinking! Subsequently, the frigate activated its fire-control radar, preparing to take action directly.

"Damn it, they don't know what's good for them!" Chen Jiajun said with a gloomy expression.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Ya Qi said, frowning, "Our cruise ship can't withstand artillery fire!"

Chen Jiajun said coldly, "Stop the ship, I'll call Bai Lu over!"

Afterward, Chen Jiajun contacted Bai Lu and had the system teleport Bai Lu directly to his side.

Chen Jiajun pointed at the light frigate in the distance and said, "Give them a taste of something!"

Bai Lu glanced at the light frigate, raised both hands, and a Mind Storm began to gather.

The previously clear weather suddenly turned gloomy, and gusts of hurricane-force winds swept across the sea surface.

Apparently, the navy on the light frigate had not yet realized the severity of the situation and prepared to send men to board and take control of the cruise ship before them.

But just as their speedboat was speeding toward the cruise ship, a small tornado suddenly appeared on the sea surface without warning, and it kept expanding as it moved.

Chen Jiajun stood at the bow of the cruise ship and could even clearly see the terrified faces of the Yani Haijun on the speedboat.

In the face of this level of ability, let alone a frigate, even an aircraft carrier might not be able to withstand it.

Under the terrifying power of the waterspout, the opponent was swept into it directly before they could even start their boat.

And the momentum continued unabated as it struck toward the Indonesian port.

Although the waterspout would soon dissipate on its own without Bai Lu's psionic control.

But even so, it was enough for those damn Indonesians to suffer for a while.

After settling this, Chen Jiajun took the ship of refugees and returned, and after a journey with some alarms but no danger, they finally arrived back in Brunei.

This made the refugees on the ship weep with joy, finally no longer having to live in fear all day long.

Although they had abandoned a portion of their wealth, seeing that the environment in Brunei was even better than in Indonesia reignited their fighting spirit.

This was also the reason why Chen Jiajun wanted to rescue these refugees!

Compared to the indigenous people of Brunei, the Chinese were more hardworking, intelligent, and stable.

Coupled with the large number of Chinese who had immigrated, the proportion of Chinese in Brunei now was even fifty-fifty with the indigenous people.

This was a good thing in every respect.

Li Yaohua, the President, even came over in person to meet these refugees.

Chen Jiajun handed all these trivial matters over to Li Yaohua.

And then he focused on being responsible for the livelihood issues of Brunei.

The situation in Brunei was currently very bad; although it produced energy and industrial goods, it could not be self-sufficient in terms of food.

So Chen Jiajun was considering whether he could take this opportunity to reach a cooperation with the folks back home.

As for Indonesia, as long as they dared to come and cause trouble, the young demon slaves in Chen Jiajun's hands were not to be trifled with.

When the time came, he would have Dumu lead a team to go into Indonesia and slaughter them again, which should be enough to make those scumbags behave.

Just as Chen Jiajun was thinking about this problem, his Satellite Phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Su Xingbai: "Boss, Mr. Cao Weicai seems to have something urgent to find you about! Do you want me to transfer the call?"

"At this time?" Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "Fine, put it through!"

Soon, Cao Weicai's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, are you not in Hong Kong?"

"That's right, what's the matter?" Chen Jiajun said with some curiosity.

Cao Weicai said with some excitement: "Boss, if you don't have anything urgent, can you come to the United States? I have a very important matter to find you about! It's about the investment in Yahoo!"

"Hmm?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment: "Did something go wrong?"

Cao Weicai said excitedly: "It's not that something went wrong, it's that we're going to get rich! And there are some things at the company that need you to make the final decision personally!"

Chen Jiajun thought about it; in any case, the matters in Brunei were finished, and Li Yaohua could handle the aftermath of the following things.

So Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Fine, I'll be back in the United States in two days!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun walked out of the Presidential Palace and found Li Yaohua conducting a public outreach activity.

He knew that this group of people would definitely be his most loyal supporters in the future, much more stable than the local indigenous people.

Therefore, in terms of pacification, Li Yaohua was not stingy at all.

And such actions also allowed the panicked Chinese to quickly stabilize their emotions and accept the fact of living in Brunei.

And to tell the truth, the business environment in Brunei was better than in Indonesia.

Most of these Chinese who had fled here were businessmen. If they joined in, it would bring Brunei's commercial prosperity to a higher level.

After settling these refugees... no, it should be said, these new immigrants, Li Yaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he wanted to return to the Presidential Palace, he found Chen Jiajun waiting for him at the door.

"Done?" Chen Jiajun said to Li Yaohua with a smile.

Li Yaohua nodded, his eyes fierce as he said: "To be honest, our Chinese are more reliable. This time it can be seen that those indigenous officials are all a bunch of ingrates!"

If it weren't for the need for regional stability, Li Yaohua would have already taken action against the local indigenous people.

However, Li Yaohua was very rational and knew that the local indigenous people could not be touched at this time; he could only use a dull knife to slowly cut the meat.

He now needed to show goodwill to paralyze these indigenous people; once they reacted, it would definitely be too late to save the situation! Li Yaohua's methods were not considered brilliant; after all, excluding the indigenous people from the meeting last time was enough to arouse their vigilance.

However, these natives were not clever, and even if there were a few smart ones, they were firmly held in Li Yaohua's grasp.

That is why he dared to play such tricks so unscrupulously.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "You decide how to handle the execution! I'll leave the matters here to you; I need to make a trip to the United States, and after I return, I will help you negotiate the issue of grain exports with them!"

"Big Boss, don't you worry!" Hearing that Chen Jiajun intended to resolve the grain issue, Li Yaohua immediately said with a beaming smile.

The issue of grain had always been a weakness for Brunei.

These Gweilo knew that Brunei's main income came from energy, commodity exports, and tourism, and that it was quite wealthy, so they were incredibly ruthless when they went in for the kill.

The two talked in detail for an entire night, laying all their cards on the table regarding future matters.

Li Yaohua had worked wholeheartedly for Brunei for so many years, and Chen Jiajun had also entrusted him with quite a lot of authority.

Early the next morning, Chen Jiajun took his private jet and headed straight for Los Angeles.

……

Today's United Aerospace Capital was long past the desolation it once had.

Although there were no particularly dazzling achievements other than Yahoo, just relying on this one internet company was enough to make United Aerospace Capital famous in Silicon Valley. After Chen Jiajun arrived at the company, he was also surprised by the office building before his eyes.

When United Aerospace Capital was first founded, large sums of capital were all used for investments, and they had only rented two low-rise office floors, whereas now they had moved into a bright commercial office building.

Although the receptionist was still the same receptionist, the company's facade was already completely different.

"Mr. Chairman, please this way! The General Manager is already waiting for you in your office!" Having seen Chen Jiajun a few times, the receptionist immediately stood up and led Chen Jiajun into the Chairman's office.

As soon as he entered, Chen Jiajun saw Cao Weicai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Unlike Li Yaohua, who was also his subordinate and had prematurely aged with a head full of white hair, this guy Cao Weicai seemed to have a trend of becoming younger and younger.

"Boss, you've finally come!" Cao Weicai said to Chen Jiajun with an excited face: "We've made it, we've really made it!"

Chen Jiajun sat down with a huff: "You kid, is there any need to be this excited?"

Cao Weicai's face flushed red, and he said viciously: "I want to let those Wall Street elites who looked down on us back then see that they are the real losers."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Alright, once you go back to Wall Street, buy their company, and drive them out, won't that be satisfying? Let's talk about business; what is so urgent that you called me over?"

Cao Weicai immediately said with a serious expression: "Boss, do you know how much Yahoo's stock is per share now?"

"I remember when I left, Yahoo had just gone public, it was about 33 dollars a share, right?" Chen Jiajun said while stroking his chin.

"That's right, 33 dollars a share!" Cao Weicai waved his hands and said: "It's different now; Yahoo's stock price has risen to 125 dollars a share. It can be said to be the internet company with the highest market value! And this company was incubated by our United Aerospace Capital!"

"Do you know? Mr. Gianini personally invited me to dinner! It seems he has the intention of absorbing us into the California Consortium."

Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up: "Really!"

"It's just an intention, but the specific situation will probably take some time to haggle over!" Cao Weicai said with a smile: "As long as we have another big success, I think it will be even more secure!"

Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes at Cao Weicai and said: "You think opportunities are like Chinese cabbage! We've been operating in the United States for so long, and only Yahoo looks like something."

"Hehe, I was just saying!" Cao Weicai felt a bit embarrassed; although he hadn't let United Aerospace Capital lose money, there were indeed no reliable investment targets, and at most, they had only recovered their costs.

He did not have Chen Jiajun's heaven-defying and precise vision.

"Alright, since Yahoo is developing so well, let's go see David!" Chen Jiajun stood up and said to Cao Weicai.

Cao Weicai nodded: "I'll have the Secretary prepare the car immediately!"

When they arrived at Yahoo and found David, this guy was entertaining guests.

It seemed to be his junior schoolmates, top students from Stanford.

David immediately introduced them to his two juniors: "This is the Big Boss of United Aerospace Capital, Mr. Chen Jiajun and Mr. Cao Weicai!"

Hearing that they were big financiers, the two students' eyes lit up: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Cao, hello, I am Sergey Brin, and this is Larry Page!"

Hearing the names of these two, Chen Jiajun was shocked, and then filled with wild joy.

He did not expect that coming to Yahoo he would be able to run into these two technical geniuses! If he remembered correctly, in the world before he transmigrated, these two geniuses had come to Yahoo to promote their technology, but were pushed out the door by that short-sighted guy Wang Zhiyuan.

Later, these two founded the world-famous Google under the funding of Sequoia Capital.

This was equivalent to cutting off Yahoo's future.

But now, since they were with Chen Jiajun, there was no way he would let these two talents slip through his fingers!

"Hello, I heard you are David's alumni?" Chen Jiajun sat down and asked very kindly.

Facing a Big Boss like Chen Jiajun, Larry and Xie Gaier were a bit nervous.

But under Chen Jiajun's casual chatting, they soon relaxed.

Especially after hearing Chen Jiajun's unique insights into the internet, the group chatted very happily.

It felt like finding a soulmate.

David had been watching from the sidelines, occasionally interjecting a few words; he could tell that Chen Jiajun was very interested in his two juniors.

Just like when he faced him and Wang Zhiyuan back then.

So David, who had initially been dismissive of his two juniors' technology, immediately began to take it seriously.

Chen Jiajun's vision was very sharp, and his understanding of the internet was very advanced; the people he favored definitely wouldn't be too bad.

So David changed his previous coldness and also joined the chat.

Chen Jiajun was not good at talking about technology, and if he kept talking, he would be exposed.

He didn't have much in his arsenal, and everything he had would only be enough to talk for about half an hour.

But just this little bit was enough; at the very least, Chen Jiajun could see Larry and Xie Gaier looking at him with admiration.

With this connection, the subsequent recruitment would surely be quite smooth.

Sure enough, after dining at the Yahoo cafeteria at noon, Larry Page told Chen Jiajun about the web crawler technology he had in his hands.

"This is a technology developed based on the inspiration we drew from Yahoo... Simply put, it is a program or script that automatically crawls World Wide Web information according to certain rules." Larry Page said to Chen Jiajun: "This might be able to change the way Yahoo operates!"

Hearing Larry's words, David, who was a programmer by trade, immediately understood the value of this technology.

He was not a profit-seeking guy like Wang Zhiyuan; on the contrary, David valued technical talent very much, and upon hearing Larry's words, he already intended to get his hands on this technology.

However, seeing that Chen Jiajun next to him also seemed to have this idea, David did not rush to speak.

After Chen Jiajun finished listening to the explanations from Larry and Xie Gaier regarding the technology in their hands, he slowly asked: "So... why are you two bringing up this technology?"

Larry said cautiously: "We intend to sell this technology to Yahoo! One million dollars!"

Chen Jiajun knew that if he did not agree, these two stubborn young men would turn around and establish their own Google company.

The Matthew effect on the internet is very serious; with Yahoo already being a company at the forefront, Chen Jiajun felt there was no need to let this Google company be born.

Consequently, he said to Larry and Sergey: "The technology in your hands is worth more than just this much money!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the two were stunned on the spot.

They had previously been afraid that their asking price was too high and would be miserably rejected.

But they had not expected that Chen Jiajun would actually say their asking price was too low?

This... is this really the capitalist they know? Of course, Chen Jiajun did not have so much money he had nowhere to spend it, that he would insist on spending more money for technology he could have acquired for one million.

He was doing this because he understood human nature too well! Once the web crawler technology helped Yahoo earn more money, would the two of them not feel unbalanced in their hearts? One must know that in the United States, such lawsuits are countless.

Although Chen Jiajun was not afraid of lawsuits, the money in his hands could crush these two young men to death just by its weight.

But as the saying goes, there is no need.

Larry and Xie Gaier were technical talents, and what Yahoo lacked right now was exactly this kind of person.

One could even use the two men's experience to build a persona of a talent scout who "pays a thousand gold for a horse's bones."

By then, whenever those technical talents at Stanford came up with any useful technology, the first thing they would think of would certainly be Yahoo and his own United Aerospace Capital!

Therefore, Chen Jiajun said to Larry and Xie Gaier: "I am prepared to buy the technology in your hands for three million, and at the same time, I sincerely invite you two to join Yahoo; what do you think?"

Larry and Xie Gaier were stunned on the spot, as if they had been knocked dizzy by a pie falling from the sky.

And David, who was on the side, also had a look of surprise; he had not expected Chen Jiajun to think so highly of these two.

However, David would certainly not be stupid enough to oppose this matter; after all, the major shareholder of Yahoo today was United Aerospace Capital, which meant the Boss was Chen Jiajun.

Moreover, he did not have to pay this money himself, so he would have to be brain-damaged to oppose it.

Facing Chen Jiajun's invitation, the two were stunned for a good while before immediately reaching out their hands and shaking hands with Chen Jiajun: "This is our honor!" (End of chapter)
