Meeting with CEO Chen
[ Should I say that my dear hubby's insight is amazing? He can grasp business opportunities so accurately. ]
[ But how am I going to tell my dear hubby to let CEO Ma continue to work in the company? Let him work behind the scenes. ]
[ His name should be Ma Rui. That's right, that's the name. ]
[ If my dear hubby takes his place now, won't he be ridiculed to death by netizens in the future? ]
[ No, no, this won't do. ]
[ However, Ma Rui's ability is indeed not bad. He can be considered to be useful in the company. ]
Li Yizheng had already gotten the information that he wanted to know from Gu Shihui.
So he picked up his suitcase and said to Gu Shihui, "I'm leaving now, else I won't be able to catch the plane. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back."
Gu Shihui was still immersed in how to tell Li Yizheng about this matter so that Li Yizheng wouldn't be suspicious.
But he was in a hurry to leave, and he still wanted to treat her to a meal.
Gu Shihui said doubtfully, "I haven't said anything yet, but I believe that you should be able to do it."
"Forget it. I'll send him a message to remind him. He should be able to understand what I mean." She thought to herself.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yizheng successfully arrived at the C City Airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, Uncle Wang called him. "Yizheng, I've already made an appointment with CEO Chen. We'll meet at the coffee shop downstairs of their company at 2:40 pm. Are you able to rush over in time?"
Li Yizheng looked at the time and replied, "Sure, send me the address."
At 2:30 pm, CEO Chen had already arrived at the coffee shop downstairs. He sat by the window and stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon.
At this moment, two figures came in one after the other at the door.
Uncle Wang was in front, Li Yizheng followed Uncle Wang and walked up to CEO Chen.
Uncle Wang said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, CEO Chen."
Uncle Wang's voice interrupted CEO Chen's thoughts. He raised his head and extended his hand to Uncle Wang. "No, I just arrived too."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yizheng behind Uncle Wang and said, "Is this the person you said was going to buy my company?"
Li YiZheng extended his hand and introduced himself. "Hello, CEO Chen. My name is Li Yizheng. I'm here today to discuss the partnership with you."
CEO Chen sized up Li Yizheng before he shook his hand and said, "Chen Zhi."
After he said that, he extended his hand to indicate that the two of them could sit down.
"What would you like to drink?" Chen Zhi asked.
Uncle Wang: "A glass of Ice Americano."
Li Yizheng: "Just plain water."
Then, he called the waiter over and ordered a glass of Iced Americano and a glass of plain water.
Then, the three of them sized each other up.
To put it bluntly, Chen Zhi had been sizing up Li Yizheng. After all, he thought that the person who wanted to buy his company would at least be around 30 years old.
But he never thought that the person who wanted to buy his company was a high school student.
Although Chen Zhi was very shocked, he did not look down on Li Yizheng at all.
After all, to be able to take out a million dollars to buy his company in one go and even promise to give him shares and the loss that he did not need to bear was probably something that even he did not dare to easily promise.
But this high school student in front of him did it.
Li Yizheng was not easy to deal with. This was the conclusion that Chen Zhi came up with within the few minutes after he sat down.
Li Yizheng also knew that Chen Zhi was sizing him up, but he did not have the slightest bit of awkwardness. Instead, he sat there forthrightly for Chen Zhi to size him up, and he did not show any signs of displeasure on his face.
"Hi, here's your coffee and water. Please enjoy." The waiter's voice broke the current atmosphere.
Chen Zhi also stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Uncle Wang had just taken a sip when he raised his watch to look at the time and said, "I still have something to do in a while. I have introduced the two of you to each other. You can discuss the rest between yourselves."
"Haha, then I'll leave first." After saying that, Uncle Wang got up and left.
After Uncle Wang left, Li Yizheng sat down and took a sip from his cup. "CEO Chen, I heard from CEO Wang that you have something to discuss with me in person. May I know what it is?"
The reason why Li Yizheng used the title of CEO Wang instead of Uncle Wang was that he felt that he had to be more formal outside.
Chen Zhi did not hide anything and went straight to the point. "Is it true that you promised that even if you bought our company, I would still have some shares and a profit dividend?"
Although he had founded TikTok in a fit of anger, it was still the fruit of his impulsiveness.
Although TikTok was doing quite well now, it was still a little unpresentable. There was no innovation at all, and it was becoming less and less accepted by the public.
Moreover, it was a common sight for TikTok to fight with Quick Entertainment. From time to time, users on both sides would start to scold each other, and it was quite annoying.
Moreover, Chen Zhi's biggest headache right now was that he didn't have the funds. Therefore, the development of TikTok was stagnant.
At this rate, TikTok would go bankrupt because of the lack of funds and not by outside factors.
Li Yizheng just nodded and said, "Of course, this is true. Moreover, this is only temporary. There is still room for improvement in the future."
Chen Zhi was a little excited. He accidentally knocked over the coffee on the table, but he was not concerned about that. He immediately asked, "Do you think so highly of us?"
At this time, the waiter heard the sound and rushed over to wipe the coffee clean. He put away the coffee cup and left.
Li Yizheng's words had two meanings. The first was that the company would never stop there, and would continue to grow under his care. The second meaning was that Chen Zhi would have a lot of shares in the future.
After the waiter left, Li Yizheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that CEO Chen thinks that I took out a million dollars to have fun, and there is no place for me to spend the money?"
Li Yizheng's words were quite sharp.
Chen Zhi also realized that what he said just now was somewhat inappropriate. After all, who would spend money to buy a company whose capital chain was about to break?
Since he bought it, it must be something extraordinary that could bring the company back from the dead.
Chen Zhi laughed awkwardly, touched his nose, and said, "No, of course, I believe you, CEO Li."
At this time, Chen Zhi's address of Li Yizheng had become "CEO Li".
"Then do you have any questions to ask me?" Li Yizheng looked at Chen Zhi and said.
Chen Zhi thought for a while and seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "Then will you fire all the existing employees of the company and replace them with a new batch?"
Chen Zhi was afraid that after Li Yizheng bought the company, he would bring his technical team and then fire all the existing employees of the company.
But his fears were unfounded.
