Chapter 214: Xu Qing is a piece of cake
As soon as Charlie got into the car back to IDG, he called and told Paul, the president of IDG, about the incident, but Paul didn't say much on the phone, just asked Charlie to come back to the company as soon as possible.
Charlie returned to the company and went directly to the president's office, where Paul had already made coffee and was waiting for him.
After the two drank a cup of coffee, Charlie began to tell Paul in detail about the events of the meeting, including Xu Qing's expression and so on.
"You mean that Xu Qing was still greeting you at the door of the company at the beginning, and his attitude was very polite, and then when you left, there was no one in the future company to send you. Paul asked.
Charlie nodded and said: "Yes, the difference between Xu Qing's attitude before and after is obvious, and what I can't understand is that what he said when he refused our acquisition could have been more tactful, but he used the kind of language and tone that offended us." ”
Paul was silent and said, "From the time you entered the future company to the time you left, what you said and what you did, tell me." ”
Charlie didn't understand why Paul was doing this, but he didn't miss a word about anything he had said at Future.
Charlie has a particularly strong memory, and when he was in college, he won a memory contest, and he spoke fluently.
If someone had recorded what Charlie had said at Future, they would have found that Charlie and Paul were saying exactly what they were saying now.
With his eyes closed, Paul rests one hand on the couch and the other taps rhythmically on the armrest.
Charlie didn't dare to come out, whenever Paul made such a move, it showed that he was thinking about things, and no one should disturb him.
After a few minutes, Paul opened his eyes and said to Charlie, "You contact the president of AOL, I want to talk to him about something." ”
Contacting the president of AOL was not Charlie's job responsibility, it was what Paul's secretary should do, but Charlie was excited to contact the president of AOL.
Paul asked him to contact, obviously to discuss revenge on Xu Qing, he knew about AOL and Xu Qing's feud, and now IDG also has a feud with Xu Qing.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, not to mention that IDG has a good relationship with AOL.
Charlie didn't know how Paul was going to take revenge on Xu Qing, but he would definitely teach Xu Qing a profound lesson and let him know that a Chinese should be obedient in the United States.
Zha expected that he was angry with Future Company, and was even more excited about taking revenge on Xu Qing.
The next morning, Paul and Charlie showed up at AOL's president's office, where AOL's president, Case, waited.
Paul and Keith met many times, and after greeting each other, Paul first said, "Mr. Case, do you know Xu Qing and Future?"
Keith glanced at Paul, didn't he ask knowingly, Xu Qing and Future Company are so famous, who wouldn't know, but Keith still answered the question:
"Of course I know about Xu Qing and Future Company, why is Mr. Paul asking this?"
"I wanted to ask, is it true that AOL and future are at odds with the company?" Paul said.
Keith frowned, Paul asked why this is for, but the feud between AOL and Future is not a secret, some people still know about it, and Keith gave Paul an affirmative answer.
Paul received an affirmative answer from Case, and said with a smile: "It seems that IDG is also lucky, and we also have a feud with Xu Qing." ”
Keith was speechless by Paul's words, is it a lucky thing to have a feud with someone else, so happy.
Paul continued: "Xu Qing started managing a small company of the Xu family in March last year, and now he has a net worth of more than $1 billion for more than a year, and Xu Qing's ability is very powerful.
I also found out that the shares of Xu Qing's companies belong to Xu Qing, and there are no other investors. ”
Keith had already heard a little bit of what Paul meant, and wanted to join forces with AOL to deal with Xu Qing, but Keith remained silent and let Paul continue.
There is no doubt that Xu Qing takes his interests very seriously and is reluctant to share them with others, just like other Chinese people.
But in this world, sharing benefits is the right thing to do, and I think it is our duty to help Xu Qing correct his mistakes and get him back on track. ”
Paul looked at Keith with a smile on his face.
Keith already fully understood what Paul meant, Xu Qing was a big cake, but no one could eat this cake, and now Paul wanted to join AOL to eat this cake.
Keith is also very greedy for Xu Qing's cake, Xu Qing's company has great potential, and the future development will definitely be very good, the sooner you eat this cake, the more benefits you will get.
If Xu Qing grows up, it may not be AOL who can get involved.
But it's not so easy to eat Xu Qing's cake, if you're not careful, you may eat your stomach and make yourself only half a life, Keith is very hesitant.
Paul saw Case's hesitant expression and said, "Mr. Case, I heard that AOL is working on a community website. ”
Keith frowned, "How do you know?"
Paul smiled: "Many people know about AOL's development of community websites, and I am not one of them. ”
"A lot of people know?!, are you keeping AOL secret?" Keys said angrily.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Case, I'll make it up to AOL. Paul's expression was indifferent, not disturbed by Keith's anger.
"Well, I hope IDG doesn't do that again in the future. ”
Of course, Keith is not angry, he did it on purpose, and the development of the community website AOL is not strictly confidential, and it is quite easy for those who have the strength to want to know.
But AOL kept it secret, although the level of secrecy is very low, but if outsiders want to know, they have to know through some means.
Although everyone is using these methods, after all, they can't be said on the table, now that Paul has said it, Keith took the opportunity to condemn Paul and take more time when sharing the cake, yes, Keith has decided to eat Xu Qing's cake.
Paul looked at Case's normal expression, and despised Case's acting skills for why he didn't fight for the Oscars.
He was well aware of Keith's fake anger, but he also said in front of Keith that he knew about AOL's development of the community website because he wanted to find a perfect reason for AOL to get more of the cake.
The joint sharing of Xu Qing's cake was Paul's initiative to find Keith, the initiative is in the hands of Keith, AOL is the best tool for Paul to deal with Xu Qing at present, in order to make Keith agree to deal with Xu Qing, he doesn't mind giving more cakes to AOL.
Looking at Keith's expression now, he already agreed to deal with Xu Qing.
"When will AOL's community website be developed?" asked Paul.
"It's going to be more than a month. Keith said.
Paul frowned and said, "Can it be half a month in advance?"
Keith shrugged: "I ran into some technical issues, and it was a bit difficult to solve. ”
"What technical questions? Maybe IDG can help. ”
Case told Paul about the technical issues, and IDG was well connected in the IT community and might be able to help him solve them.
After Paul returned to the company, he asked some people and found a way to finish it half a month ahead of schedule.
Paul came to AOL again, discussed with Keith about dealing with Xu Qing, and then handed over the method to Keith.
The two sides have agreed, and 20 days later, AOL will release the community website.
