Chapter 297 To Live or To Die
At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin came to AOL.

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

"Mr. Li, welcome to visit us!"

"Ah."

Li Zetian nodded with a smile, walked into the AOL company, and looked around.

Soon, he was laughing.

The situation here is completely inconsistent with the information obtained by Dongfang Yuqin. Not only have they rented a very high-end office, but the number of employees is far more than that.However, Li Zetian believed in Dongfang Yuqin even more. Presumably, Steve Case swollen his face to pretend to be fat, so he rented this office temporarily, and also invited several actors to show his appearance.

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

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Li for your compliment. Look, we don't want to talk in detail in my office, so I can introduce our company's products to you?" Steve Case said, he didn't dare to let Li Zetian outside If you stay too long, I am afraid that these people who have been invited will reveal their secrets.

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

Seeing Li Zetian walking in front of him, this person was very nervous.

"I, I'm a programmer, and my job is to write an online service system!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly pretended to look at his computer.

"Really? But why do I feel that you look familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere?" Li Zetian thought for a while, and then said, "Have you acted in a TV series?"

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

"Oh, maybe." Li Zetian said casually, "Maybe that person looks a bit like him, although he is just an unknown actor, but he plays very well. Recently, Disney has a new movie to be filmed. Just now I thought he was It's you, and I plan to suggest you to participate in the audition, hehe..."

What?Ask me to audition? ! !
The man froze for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, his heart was filled with excitement. At this moment, he really wanted to say to Li Zetian, "That's right, I am the one who acted very well." I lied to him, and now I want to admit that I am an actor, I am afraid that it will make the other party unhappy, so I hesitate to speak, and the complicated expression on my face is extremely exciting.

At this time, other "white-collar" actors all around stared at Li Zetian with fiery eyes.Disney is a Hollywood film giant, if Li Zetian can set his sights on them, they will rise to the top in no time!

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

Steve Case screamed inwardly, thinking, "With Chronos Li's ingenuity, I'm afraid he has already seen through our tricks, so he talked like this to seduce these actors."

Jim Kinsey shook his head and sighed in his heart: "Fortunately, these actors still say that they are professional, and they never thought of being so tempting, their expressions completely betrayed them, even I can see it, let alone Chronos Li. Alas, it seems that inviting actors to support the appearance is really a failure, it is simply a cocoon!!"

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

"Oh……"

Steve Case froze for a moment, and was a little slow in answering. He thought it was over this time, but he didn't expect Li Zetian to talk to him.

When they came to Steve Case's office and everyone sat down, Li Zetian said slowly, "Mr. Case, you must have spent a lot of money hiring actors."

Both Steve Case and Jim Kinsey were embarrassed.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't intend to deceive you, it's just... it's just that America Online has just started and its strength is not strong, but you emphasized in Mango Computer that you must cooperate with a powerful company, so I came out This is the worst policy. 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 small, the online service system developed by our company But it’s a very good product.”

Steve Case looked at Li Zetian sincerely, and 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, both Sprint and Yinhe Network are your industries, and you must be the one who understands the development potential of the online service system best!"

Li Zetian laughed, and said in a light tone: "You are right, I do understand the development potential of the online service system very well, and to put it bluntly, I understand better than each of you. However, since I understand better than you , why is it necessary to cooperate with you, wouldn’t it be better for me to create a company myself?”

As soon as the words fell, both Steve Case and Jim Kinsey's expressions 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 come here!"

Li Zetian smiled slightly, Steve Case was really smart.

"Since you are here, your purpose is nothing more than two!"

"Very well, then tell me what my purpose is."

"One is to cooperate with AOL, and the other is to acquire AOL. However, I think the latter is more likely! Mr. Li, you have so many things to do every day, and you have so many companies under your name. Naturally, you don't have the energy to create and manage companies. Right now, the U.S. Online has developed a product, and it doesn't cost a fortune for you to acquire AOL."

Li Zetian laughed: "Hehe, what you said is absolutely correct. However, you still missed a few things. When I buy a company, I still need to look at the company's management team and technical team, Mr. Keith 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 200 million US dollars 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, 200 million US dollars is a drop in the bucket, and the shares are the most important thing. Li Zetian is already very generous if he can give away 10% of the shares.

Steve Case and Jim Kinsey looked at each other, momentarily uncertain.

Li Zetian stood up at this moment and said, "I know that such a decision is very important to you. How about it, 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 service market has not yet developed, and AOL is struggling now. 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 accounted for 90% of the shares. %, only 10% of the shares are left to the two of us, which is too little. However, the reality tells me that if we do not agree, AOL will go bankrupt!"

Jim Kinsey nodded, agreed, and said, "Since Chronos Li gave us three days, let's think about it carefully."

"Um……"
