The Wolf of Los Angeles

[Chapter 156: Twitter]

In East Los Angeles, in the San Gabriel Valley.

In a shabby office with red roofs and yellow walls, Kasim scratched his shiny forehead, looking troubled.

Across from him, a brown-haired woman named Lola asked, "Do we really only have the option of selling the website?"

Kasim replied, "There's also the option of shutting down." He looked out at three subordinates still hard at work. "How long has it been since our five-person team earned any revenue? One can't simply rely on passion. Right now, we have money to eat, but what will we do when we can't afford food or pay rent?"

Lola gritted her teeth, "That bastard Bennett transferred the shares and ran off. Now we're stuck with a tech background and no business acumen; how are we supposed to keep this going?"

"He couldn't help it; he ran out of money," Kasim didn't complain about Bennett, as he had transferred all his shares to Kasim and Lola before leaving.

Almost a year went by, and the reality was harsh. There were too many homogenized companies; cutting a path through this competition was exceedingly difficult -- it required capital, resources, and operational expertise.
