The two sides are like fighting cocks, staring at each other, and neither of them will budge.

To Steve. As far as Keith is concerned, it is a businessman's act to kick away after taking advantage of it, and he doesn't think he will have a chance to deal with Li Lin in the future anyway.

As for the sentence that he will hand over ICQ to Li Lin after he has completely mastered AOL Time Warner, he just said it casually, and when the time comes, he only needs to casually say that he has not mastered AOL Time Warner.

Of course, he wouldn't have thought that even after the AOL Time Warner split, he didn't completely master the AOL Time Warner.

And Li Lin will not be able to give in.

Although he was rewarded by joining the attack on Sony, Steve. Keith's promise still touched his cheese, ICQ is not irreplaceable, and the person who touches his cheese must die.

The two looked at each other angrily for a few moments, and finally Steve Brown. Keith stepped back.

"After a while, I'll convince the board to sell ICQ to you."

He absolutely does not want to conflict with Li Lin now.

He has just returned to AOL Time Warner, and the throne has not yet been completely secured, once Li Lin provides evidence of those opponents, it will be a huge trouble, although he is not afraid, but he is still unwilling to live in vain.

But he was not willing to sell ICQ to Li Lin.

ICQ was bought by him, and once it was sold, he declared that he had made a mistake in this matter, and although ICQ's defeat was due to many factors, he was the one who promoted the acquisition of ICQ.

"Two days."

Li Lin said unceremoniously: "I'll give you two days to convince the board of directors, otherwise I'll blow it all out." ”

"The choice is yours!"

Li Lin got up and left.

This kind of dishonest guy. There is no need to continue to contact, and it is no wonder that the other party will be suppressed after the merger of AOL and Time Warner, and what is promised cannot be done. It's no wonder that this kind of person can gain a foothold in the business world.

Businessmen should pay attention to honesty but not integrity.

Pay attention to honesty because if a businessman does not treat people with integrity, no one will do business with him in the future; And not paying attention to integrity is to breach the contract without hesitation when the interests outweigh the breach of contract.

But Steve. What does Case's need to default?

Selling ICQ to Li Lin AOL Time Warner will be slightly profitable, and ICQ itself is a chicken rib for AOL Time Warner, and they have no shortage of traffic entrances.

Forcibly occupying it will only get worse and worse, that's it. It can be seen from the fact that when ICQ was sold in the previous life, the number of users fell below 10 million, and CIQ has been going downhill.

And he is only because he is unwilling to admit his mistakes and breaches the contract because of a face problem, it is strange that this kind of person can gain a foothold.

The face of the businessman is important. But interest and integrity are more important, and it's clear that Steve. Keith couldn't tell which was more important.

Steve who stayed at the café. Keith's green was white for a while, and the hand holding the coffee was trembling.

It's so rampant. It's so rampant. He Steve. Who would dare to talk to Keith like this since he was developed? Which is not to say the last sentence respectfully, Steve. President of Case.

What happened to the default? What happened to the broken promise? Has he done less of this kind of thing? But who would dare to say it in front of him? Who would dare to slap him in the face like this in front of him.

But Li Lin dared, not only dared, but also gave him two days, which was simply arrogant.

"Damn Lee."

Steve. Keith threw the coffee cup violently, only to hear a snap, the coffee cup shattered into a dozen pieces, and the black coffee spilled to the ground.

"I'm sorry."

Steve. Keith casually took out the handkerchief. Gently wiping his palm, "This is a hundred yuan." The rest assumed compensation and a tip! ”

"Li Lin."

Steve. Keith walked out of the café and faced the sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Today's things will be rewarded tomorrow." ”

and Steve. After the Case falling out, Li Lin flew around with his team on the one hand, holding book signings, and on the other hand, he paid attention to AOL Time Warner all the time.

His request to acquire ICQ has been submitted to AOL Time Warner. Any movement by Keyes, the media will perceive it.

But what makes him strange is that AOL Time Warner has been very quiet, and the media in the United States don't seem to have received any news, otherwise they would definitely rush up like sharks smelling blood.

"Isn't Steve. Is Keys really not afraid that I'm breaking the news in front of the media? Li Lin's mind was a little uncontrollable, but he quickly sank down again, "No, the two days haven't arrived yet, if I call now, it will undoubtedly put me at a disadvantage." ”

"Steele."

Li Lin glanced at Steele, "Are there any rumors in the media circle recently?" ”

"What rumors?"

Steele gave Li Lin a strange look.

When did Li Lin gossip so much, and even asked about the rumors in the media circle?

It's not like what he used to do.

"For example, AOL Time Warner has an intention to sell ICQ, or someone buys ICQ." Li Lin said.

Steele shook his head, "I don't know, my friends are all in the entertainment industry, and these news are generally only of interest to financial journalists." ”

Reporters are distinct.

Entertainment reporters, financial reporters, political reporters, and so on are divided into different categories, and generally speaking, an entertainment reporter will not pay attention to financial news.

Because attention is also in vain.

It is impossible for an entertainment magazine to publish financial news, unless the protagonist of the news is on the side of entertainment, and it is also difficult for entertainment reporters to follow financial news, after all, the circles of the two sides are different, and the behavior is even more different.

Entertainment reporters can roam around celebrities' villas with impunity and wait for the news, while you let the financial reporters try to keep the rich and beat you to death without being held legally responsible.

A sentence intended to be unfavorable to the rich is enough to give you a death sentence at the level of the law.

"Why are you suddenly following AOL, Time Warner and ICQ?" Steele asked curiously.

"Nothing."

Li Lin shook his head, "I've just heard about ICQ recently. For this ancestor of instant messaging, I feel very curious. ”

"I've heard he's not very popular in the U.S. anymore."

"The ads are too big, too bloated, and there's a whole bunch of inexplicable software in there. Compared to MSN, he has almost no merit. Steele shrugged, "Follow him, it's better to follow MSN, at least if you go to MSN, Microsoft will be happy, maybe they will pay you a good advertising fee." ”

"How. Need me to get in touch? ”

"Forget about contact."

Li Lin waved his hand to refuse, he didn't want to advertise his future competitors. That's just stupid.

But......

Li Lin's heart moved, and Steele's words reminded him that maybe the star effect is a good note.

The reason why the meager life in the previous life was so hot is inseparable from the entry of stars. The post bar after that is also learning meager. Recruit celebrities to conduct interviews.

If he buys ICQ, maybe he can give it a try.

Not to mention defeating MSN, at least let the users of ICQ not decline, falling below 10 million users, basically announcing the abolition of ICQ.

Provided, of course, that he can acquire ICQ.

"It's a pity." Steele said regretfully, "I thought you wanted to accept Microsoft's ads, they have always been generous, right." Li Lin, wait until the promotion of the album is completely over. I'll help you connect with some ads. ”

"Originally, I wanted to contact you for endorsement, but I asked Luo Feng, only to find out that the endorsement on your body is simply terrible."

"Two garbage endorsements, I really don't know how you chosen, your agent is obviously incompetent."

It is also Luo Feng who is Li Lin's girlfriend, otherwise Steele would dare to say even more ugly words.

"Jewelry, clothes, you don't want to accept the endorsement of international brands for the time being, they will not let a star who has received a garbage endorsement accept their endorsement."

"As for the rest."

"The global spokespersons of Coca-Cola and Pepsi have not expired, and they will not consider changing their spokespersons, as for the general ones, oh, they have always loved movie and television stars, and they have no interest in singers, unless you can sing a song for their car, and your fame seems to be a little low, and they don't look down on it."

"As for Armani's shoes, oh, what a terrible choice, they've always been for grade, and you're probably not getting enough of it now."

"There is also a house endorsement, maybe you can do it, but the competition is a bit fierce, and the money is not happy enough, you go to pick it up now, is it a little too low-grade?"

Steele counted around and found that Li Lin didn't have any endorsements to receive.

People who are too high don't look down on him, and she doesn't look down on people who are too low, and she counts them, but there is no endorsement to accept.

Thinking about it, Steele glanced at Li Lin resentfully.

If it weren't for Li Lin's random endorsement, she would not have fallen into such a dilemma.

Li Lin was swept away by Steele's resentment, and immediately felt his scalp tingle, and he said stubbornly: "You can't accept endorsements, but it doesn't mean that you accept advertisements." ”

"It's a big deal, I'll take a few more ads."

"No, you can't have too many ads." Steele immediately shook his head, "If there are too many advertisements, you won't be able to sell for a price, and scarce things are expensive." ”

"And there aren't that many ads that match your identity."

"If you want to go on the road to international superstardom, you should also be careful when choosing advertisements in the future."

"Advertisements for underwear, medicines, etc., can not be accepted, as for drinks, clothes, food, etc., the more the merrier."

"But no matter what kind of advertisement, you should first investigate the specific information of the manufacturer, like the kind of reputation stain, you must not accept it, and it will affect your own image."

Li Lin nodded, celebrities should also be cautious when receiving advertisements, they can't accept all advertisements, underwear is an image problem, and drugs are a high-risk place, and the slightest carelessness will drag the star into it and form a place to bury bones.

Just when Li Lin flew to Europe to hold a book signing, an explosive news suddenly broke out in the US financial circles. (To be continued......)
