The next day at 9 AM, the sun was shining brightly in the sky.
"Ta Ta…"
A group of Asian faces stepped into a three-story building in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Compared to the skyscrapers in the San Francisco Bay Area that were dozens of stories high, this three-story building was particularly simple.
The initial funding for Twitter came from Williams and Stone. After nearly a year of operations, the funds had long been exhausted. If no one invested, they would run out of oil and wind up in a hurry.
Stars Investment from China was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for the operations team of Twitter.
Williams, Stone, and Jack Dorsey were waiting at the door early in the morning. When they saw the leader, Tang Tian, they were all surprised.
He was dressed in Armani's high-end custom-made clothes, and his facial features were well-defined. He also wore a Vacheron Constantin mask series watch that was worth 1.2 million yuan on his wrist. From head to toe, he exuded the aura of a noble family's son. He did not even look at them and walked straight into the small building.
"Mr. Feng?"
Williams greeted Feng Tao in astonishment.
"This is our chairman."
Feng Tao raised his eyebrows at Tang Tian's back and gestured.
Immediately, Williams, Stone, and Jack Dorsey understood that the protagonist of today's negotiation was that arrogant young man.
"Tsk tsk!"
Looking around, Tang Tian could not help but click his tongue.
When Williams and the other two who came in saw this, their expressions changed.
There were less than 60 employees in the entire company, and the office space was even more simple. It was not a professional office building. It was originally a simple warehouse. After they rented it, other than cleaning and arranging tables and chairs, they did not even clean up the damaged wallpaper.
What they didn't see was the acquisition team sent by Stars Investment. Everyone's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. It would definitely be very easy to acquire such a company. The price could still be lowered.
"Everyone, this way please!"
Williams quickly led everyone to the conference room.
If they continued to let Tang Tian and the others observe, the outcome of this business meeting would probably be completely different.
Stone and Jack Dorsey also hurriedly took out the tea leaves they had bought in Chinatown yesterday. They arranged for someone to brew them with boiling water and brought them into the meeting room.
Unexpectedly, Tang Tian entered the meeting room and sat down on the main seat. His eyes were filled with oppression. When he swept his gaze over Williams and the others, they could not help but feel apprehensive. Their attitudes became lower than others.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
Accompanied by a crisp knocking sound in the meeting room, Tang Tian looked down at them and said,"Let me introduce myself."
"Tang Tian, the chairman of Stars Investment, has only one purpose for coming here today: to acquire your company.”
"Before I came, I had some expectations for your company, but now I'm very disappointed.”
Thud!
As soon as he finished speaking.
All the senior executives of Twitter felt their hearts sink.
"Hmm?"
Tang Tian glanced at Feng Tao, who tactfully handed him a document.
Tang Tian took out a quote from it and tore it into pieces in front of Williams and the others.
"This…"
"What does Mr. Tang mean by this?"
Williams and the others couldn't hold it in anymore. They stood up and questioned.
This action was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for them. Williams had personally handed the offer to Feng Tao.
"The price, of course, can only be negotiated if it is valuable.”
" There's no value. What's there to talk about?"
Without even looking at Williams and the others, Tang Tian said disdainfully,"" 30 million dollars."
"Did a donkey kick your head, or do you think my head was kicked by a donkey?”
"Does Twitter still have money on its account? How many days could he last? Ten days? Half a month? A month?"
One question after another was like a sharp knife that constantly pierced through the inner defenses of the executives of Twitter.
Indeed, Twitter did not have any extra funds. They could not even pay their salaries for the month.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to propose a transaction price of 30 million USD.
When they first met Feng Tao, Williams and the others thought that these Easterners didn't understand the rules of the other side of the ocean at all. But now, they realized that they were wrong, and very wrong.
"Let's talk about twitters in detail.”
"As a social media site, there are 30 million registered users and 2 million active users.”
"Websites of this scale are as common as the hairs on an ox in America and even around the world. They can even be built in a few months with a little money.”
"From an operational and technical perspective, you're almost identical to Facebook, and Facebook has already seized the market ahead of time.”
"So, tell me, what price should I pay to buy Twitter?”
With both hands on the table, Tang Tian's sharp eyes swept across the group of Twitter executives.
Williams and Stone's expressions became extremely ugly. The handsome young man in front of them was not only an expert, but he also knew more about the Internet than they thought. It was almost impossible to fish in troubled waters in front of Tang Tian.
"What price do you plan to offer, Mr. Tang?"
Stone suppressed the panic in his heart and asked.
" Three million dollars for the entire team at Twitter, excluding the three of you, of course.”
Facing the gazes of Williams and the others, Tang Tian raised three fingers and said indifferently.
"No, this is impossible!"
Williams blurted out.
Stone and Jack Dorsey also looked conflicted.
"Impossible?"
Tang Tian raised his eyebrows and laughed mockingly.”
" I have time to wait. In another month, this three million USD will become three hundred thousand USD. Maybe after a while, Twitter will be worthless because your employees can't afford to pay endless wages.”
"Even if you only owe a month's salary, the labor arbitration report from the San Francisco court will be sent to the three of you.”
"Hiss!"
Williams and the other two gasped.
Tang Tian's words were not a threat. Instead, he was describing the situation that Twitter would face next.
America was not China. The people here respected the spirit of the contract on the premise of protecting their own interests. If they did not pay their wages for a month, they would tear down this three-story building completely.
"Shua! Swoosh! Shua!"
At this time, Tang Tian took the checkbook and wrote a check for three million US dollars. He placed it on the table and said lightly,""The money is here."
"Whether you take it or not, you can decide for yourself.”
"Oh right, my patience isn't that good. I can't wait for too long.”
"Hu…"
Seeing the check on the table, the last line of defense of the Williams trio was broken.
The three of them signed their names on the acquisition contract that Stars Investment had prepared. From then on, the surname of Twitter and the team was Tang.
