Life at the Top

After Morrison withdrew from the acquisition of Google, coupled with Page and Brin’s cooperation, Jasper’s subsequent acquisition went on without hindrance.

Jasper did not go easy on the shareholders who were selling only to make a fortune by getting a good price.

He lowered the price by 30% and put on an air of nonchalance.

Page and Brin gave Jasper their full cooperation. These shareholders had made them really unhappy previously when Google nearly fell into Morrison’s hands because of them. It was tantamount to taking Brin and Page’s lives.

What was more, Jasper bought the portion of their shares at a high price.

In the end, Jasper spent 120 million US dollars to acquire 70% of Google’s overall shares and became Google’s largest shareholder. Meanwhile, Page and Brin were the two remaining shareholders holding 30% of the shares in total.

The rest of the shareholders were flushed out by Jasper.

At this moment, those shareholders, including Todd, still felt as though they had made a fortune.

With the Sena shares Jasper gave Todd, which were still rising during this period of time, Todd had earned nearly 80 million US dollars.

In other words, Google’s 27% shares translated to 80 million US dollars, which made this a really lucrative deal no matter how one looked at it.

At this critical juncture, at almost the same time Jasper completed the overall acquisition of Google, Yahoo made an announcement.
