Chapter 297 Survival or Death

At about 2:20 in the afternoon, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to AOL.

Jim Kinsey and Steve Case quickly led everyone out to greet them.

"Mr. Li, welcome to visit us!"

"Um."

Li Zetian smiled and nodded. After walking into AOL, he looked around.

Soon he was laughing.

The situation here is completely inconsistent with the information that Dongfang Yuqin found. Not only did they rent a very high-end office, but they also had far more employees. However, Li Zetian believed in Dongfang Yuqin even more. Steve Case must have pretended to be fat and temporarily rented this office. In addition, he also hired several actors to show off his appearance.

Li Zetian turned to look at Steve Case and said with a smile, "The company is not bad!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Li. You see, why don't we talk in detail in my office so I can introduce our company's products to you?" Steve Case said, he did not dare to let Li Zetian outside If you stay too long, you are afraid that the people you invited will reveal their secrets.

"Don't worry," Li Zetian waved and smiled, then walked up to this employee and asked, "What do you do at AOL?"

When the man saw Li Zetian walking up to him, he suddenly felt very nervous.

"I, I am a programmer, and my job is to write online service systems!"

After saying that, he quickly pretended to look at his computer.

"Really? But why do I feel that you look familiar? I seem to have seen you somewhere before?" Li Zetian thought for a while, and then said: "You have acted in a TV series, right?"

"Mr. Li, I'm afraid you have the wrong person..."

"Oh, maybe." Li Zetian said casually, "Maybe that person looks a bit similar. Although he is just an unknown actor, he acted very well. Recently, Disney Company has a new movie to shoot. Just now I thought he was It’s you, and I’m planning to suggest you go for an audition, haha…”

What? Ask me to audition? ! !

The man was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was very excited. At this moment, he wanted to say to Li Zetian right now, "Yes, that person who is good at acting is me." However, when he thought of denying it just now, I had deceived him, and now I wanted to admit my identity as an actor. I was afraid that I would make the other party unhappy, so I hesitated to speak. The complicated expression on my face was very exciting.

At this time, the other "white-collar" actors around were staring at Li Zetian with fiery eyes. Disney is a Hollywood movie giant. If Li Zetian can like them, he will rise to great heights in no time!

Li Zetian felt a pair of fiery eyes looking at him, and felt funny.

Steve Case secretly screamed that it was bad and thought, "With Chronos Li's intelligence, I am afraid he has already seen through our little tricks, so he talked like this to seduce these actors."

Jim Kinsey shook his head and sighed inwardly: "Fortunately, these actors still claim to be professional and never thought of being so untempered. Their expressions completely betrayed them. Even I could see it, let alone Chronos Li. Alas, it seems that hiring actors to prop up the facade is a real failure, it’s just a trap!!”

Li Zetian suddenly turned to Steve Case and said, "Let's go to your office."

"oh……"

Steve Case was stunned for a moment, and his answer was half a beat too slow. He thought it was over this time, but he didn't expect that Li Zetian would still want to talk to him.

Arriving at Steve Case's office, after everyone took their seats, Li Zetian said slowly: "Mr. Case, it must have cost a lot of money to hire actors."

Both Steve Case and Jim Kinsey were embarrassed.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Li. I didn't mean to deceive you. It's just that...AOL has just started and is not strong. However, you emphasized at Mango Computer that you must cooperate with a strong company, so I came out. This is a last resort. However, Mr. Li, please believe in our sincerity, because we really need to cooperate with Mango Computer Company! In addition, although AOL is not large in scale, the online service system developed by our company But it’s a very good product.”

Steve Case looked at Li Zetian sincerely. He knew that now there was no other way but to impress him with sincerity.

After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Li, as far as we know, Sprint Company and Galaxy Network Company are both your industries. I believe you must know the development potential of online service systems best!"

Li Zetian laughed and said in a calm tone: "You are right, I do understand the development potential of the online service system, and to put it bluntly, I understand it better than each of you. But, since I understand it better than you all , why is there any need to cooperate with you? Wouldn’t it be better for me to create a company myself?”

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of both Steve Case and Jim Kinsey changed.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Steve Case figured out something and said to Li Zetian: "Mr. Li, if you really wanted to create your own company, you wouldn't come here!"

Li Zetian smiled slightly, Steve Case was indeed smart.

"Since you are here, you have two purposes!"

"Very good, then you can tell me what my purpose is."

"The first is to cooperate with AOL, and the second is to acquire AOL, but I think the latter is more likely! Mr. Li, you have so many things to do and have so many companies under your name, naturally you don't have the energy to create and manage a company. At the moment, the United States Online has developed the product, and it doesn't cost you much to acquire AOL."

Li Zetian laughed: "Haha, what you said is absolutely right. However, you missed something. When I acquire a company, I also need to look at the company's management team and technical team, 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 US$2 million in AOL, accounting for 90% of the shares, and the remaining 10 % of the shares are divided between the two of you. However, the shares cannot be traded until the company is listed."

For Li Zetian, 2 million US dollars is a drop in the bucket. Shares are the most important. Li Zetian is already very generous if he can give up 10% of the shares.

Steve Case and Jim Kinsey looked at each other, uncertain for a moment.

Li Zetian stood up at this time and said: "I know that such a decision is very important to you. Let's do this, I will give you three days to think about it!"

"Okay, thank you Mr. Li."

…

After Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin left, Steve Case and Jim Kinsey discussed in the office.

"What do you think, Steve?" Jim Kinsey asked.

"The online services market has not developed yet, and AOL is currently struggling. However, I feel that the future development prospects of this market are amazing. From the bottom of my heart, I am actually not willing to sell so many shares. Chronos·Li alone accounts for 90% %, only 10% of the shares are left to the two of us, which is really too little. However, reality tells me that if we do not agree, AOL will go bankrupt!"

Jim Kinsey nodded in agreement and said, "Since Chronos Li has given us three days, let's think about it carefully."

"Um……"
