Chapter 292: To Live or To Die
At around 2:20 p.m., Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to AOL.
Jim Kinsey and Steve Keys hurriedly led everyone out to greet them.
“Mr· Li, welcome to you!"
"Hmm. ”
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, and after walking into AOL, he looked around.
Soon, he laughed.
The situation here is completely inconsistent with the information found by Dongfang Yuqin, not only has it rented a very high-end office, but even the number of employees is far exceeded. However, Li Zetian believes in Dongfang Yuqin even more, presumably Steve Keys slapped his swollen face and became fat, rented this office temporarily, and invited several actors to call the façade.
Li Zetian turned his head to look at Steve Keys and said with a smile, "The company is good!"
"Hehe, thank you Mr. Li praised. You see, should we talk in detail in my office so that I can introduce you to our company's products?" said Steve Case, who didn't dare to let Li Zetian stay outside for too long, for fear that the people who had been invited would reveal his stuff.
"Don't worry," Li Zetian waved his hand and smiled, then walked up to this employee and asked, "What do you do at AOL?"
When this person saw that Li Zetian actually walked in front of him, he was immediately very nervous.
"I, I'm a programmer, and my job is to write online service systems!"
After speaking, he quickly pretended to look at his computer.
"But how do I feel that you are a little familiar, as if you have seen it somewhere?" Li Zetian thought for a while, and then said: "You have acted in a TV series, right?"
“Mr· Li, I'm afraid you've mistaken someone......"
"Oh, maybe. Li Zetian said casually, "Maybe that person looks a little similar, although he is just a not famous actor, but he acts very well." Recently, Disney has a new drama to film, and just now I thought he was you, and I was going to suggest that you go to the audition, hehe......"
What? Tell me to audition?!!
This person was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was very excited, and at this moment he wanted to say to Li Zetian now, "That's right, the person who acted very well is me." However, when I thought of denying it and deceiving him just now, and now I want to admit my identity as an actor, I am afraid that it will make the other party unhappy, so I want to say it again and again, and the complicated expression on my face is very exciting.
At this time, the other "white-collar" actors around him stared at Li Zetian one by one. Disney is a Hollywood movie giant, if Li Zetian can take a fancy to them, he will rise to the top all of a sudden!
Li Zetian felt a pair of fiery eyes looking at him, and he didn't feel funny.
Steve Case secretly screamed in his heart, thinking, "With Chronos· Li's ingenuity, I'm afraid that he has already seen through our little tricks, so he talks like this and tempts these actors. ”
Jim Kinsey shook his head and sighed in his heart: "It's a shame that these actors still say that they are professional, I never thought that they would be so tempted, their expressions completely betrayed them, even I can see it, not to mention Chronos· Li。 Alas, it seems that inviting actors to support the façade is really a failure, it's just a cocoon!!"
Li Zetian suddenly turned his head to Steve Keys and said, "Let's go, go to your office." ”
"Oh......"
Steve Keys was stunned for a moment, and when he answered, he thought it was over this time, but he didn't expect Li Zetian to talk to him.
When he came to Steve Case's office, after everyone was seated, Li Zetian said slowly: "Mr. Case, it cost a lot of money to hire actors." ”
Steve Keys and Jim Kinsey were both embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't mean to deceive you, I just ...... It's just that AOL has just started and is not strong, and you emphasized at Mango Computer that you must cooperate with a strong company, so I made this decision. However, Mr. · Li, please believe in our sincerity, because we really need to cooperate with Mango Computer Company! In addition, although the scale of AOL is not large, the online service system developed by our company is a very good product. ”
Steve Keys looked at Li Zetian with sincere eyes, and he knew that there was no other way to impress him with sincerity now.
After a pause, he continued, "Mr. · Li, as far as we know, both Sprint and Galaxy Networks are your industry, and you must be the one who understands the potential of online service systems!"
Li Zetian laughed and said lightly: "You are right, I do understand the development potential of the online service system very well, and to put it bluntly, I know better than each of you." It's just that since I know better than all of you, why is there any need to cooperate with you, wouldn't it be better for me to create a company on my own?"
As soon as the words fell, Steve Keys and Jim Kinsey's faces changed.
The two looked at each other for a while, and then Steve Case figured out something, and said to Li Zetian: "Mr. · Li, if you really wanted to start your own company, you wouldn't be here!"
Li Zetian smiled slightly, Steve Keys was really smart.
"Since you're here, the purpose is nothing more than two!"
"Very well, then you can tell me what my purpose is. ”
"One is to cooperate with AOL, and the other is to acquire AOL, but I think the latter is more likely! Li, you have so many companies under your name, so you naturally don't have the energy to create and manage a company. Right now, AOL has developed a product, and it doesn't cost much for you to acquire AOL. ”
Li Zetian laughed: "Hehe, what you said is not wrong at all. You're missing something, though. I also have to look at the management team and technical team of this company, Mr. Case and Mr. Kinsey, both of you are very good talents, I think AOL can develop very well under your leadership! If you agree, I am willing to invest 2 million US dollars in AOL, accounting for 90% of the shares, and the remaining 10% of the shares will be distributed by the two of you. However, the shares cannot be traded until the company goes public. ”
$2 million is a drop in the bucket for Li Zetian, the shares are the most important, and Li Zetian is already very generous if he can give out 10% of the shares.
Steve Keys and Jim Kinsey looked at each other and couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Li Zetian stood up at this time and said, "I know that such a decision is very important for you. Well, I'll give you three days to think about it!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. · Li。 ”
……
After Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin left, Steve Keys and Jim Kinsey discussed it in the office.
"Steve, what do you think?" asked Jim Kinsey.
"The online services market hasn't developed yet, and AOL is struggling right now, but I feel that the future of this market is very promising. From the bottom of my heart, I'm not really willing to sell so many shares, Chronos· Li alone accounted for 90%, and only 10% of the shares were left to the two of us, which is too little. However, reality tells me that if we don't agree, AOL will go bankrupt!"
Jim Kinsey nodded in agreement, and said, "Since Chronos· Li gave us three days, so we thought about it. ”
"Hmmm......"
