Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

Hastings has been suffering from insomnia recently.

He found that the moment he knew that might allow him to discover the new direction Feng Yiping said could not help him much. He still had no sense in his heart, and Feng Yiping seemed to be in an orderly manner. In the original layout.

A very realistic question is, can I last until I can discover Feng Yiping's true purpose? This is very doubtful.

So, won't Feng Yiping officially shoot Netflix directly before then? This is undoubtedly, Feng Yiping will definitely not do that, and the acquisition will officially begin tomorrow.

But for himself, apart from a few ways to die, there is really nothing that can stop the well-funded and well-prepared Feng Yiping against his own Netflix.

He looked at the latest report with expectation, and it turned out that there was no improvement as usual, he was a little disappointed and a little proud.

Disappointingly, most companies in Silicon Valley have improved this year, but their own companies have not performed well recently. It can be said to be tepid.

But such a tepid company also makes Feng Yiping, a Chinese kid who is known for his outstanding vision, never forget it. How can this be something that makes him proud.

After reading the report again, and silently listing his own advantages in his heart, Hastings, who still felt unable to resist, relaxed.

After so many years of starting a business, this road has not been very smooth. When looking back on the roads he took with Netflix, Hastings often feels fortunate. Many things are not what he later told the media. In the face of a difficult situation, how calm I am and I believe my strategy will work.

In fact, most of the time, when he decides to do that, how can he have full confidence in his heart?

However, he still had the last laugh, as if there was a **** in the dark looking after him.

For example, in 2001, the bursting of the Internet bubble disrupted the company’s IPO plan, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so that the company had to lay off 1/3 of its employees to survive, but who would have thought that the turnaround at Christmas Is it coming?

At Christmas that year, DVD players became popular gifts for no reason, and the company's DVD mail subscription business also unexpectedly soared.

This time, although he feels the least sure about it, he believes that as long as he always stays awake, makes no mistakes, and leads the company not to fall under pressure, he will definitely be able to persist until the end, and finally spend it as before. This difficulty.

This is actually another degree of Ah Q spirit.

However, in many cases, especially in difficult times, this kind of spirit can really help. This kind of spirit can make you more positive and prevent you from breaking down in the face of great pressure.

After relaxing, Hastings looked at the mail in the mailbox, unknowingly, leaned on the chair and fell asleep, still holding the mouse in his hand.

…………

But Hastings, who fell asleep, did not relax.

He found himself running up and down in a building without any reason, but he couldn't get where he was going. After a long time of tossing, he finally squeezed into an elevator. The elevator car was small, but It was packed full.

The elevator runs very unevenly. It does not seem to be simply doing upward movement, but like a car driven by a reckless and rushing driver on a road with serious traffic jams, turning left for a while, then right. , Will stop suddenly.

In this way, in the car that is doing irregular upward movement, Hastings, who can stand unsteady, is frightened and highly nervous, but he is not desperate. It is no use to despair, or he believes that he will never be there. He couldn't tell if something like this happened.

Just as he thought, he didn't know how long he tossed in the elevator. Neither he nor the people around him yelled. Finally, the car finally rushed out of the shaft and was thrown sideways—not falling at high speed.

He just fumbled and sat up straight, the elevator door opened, the sun was dazzling outside, and the cheers were very loud. A person who couldn't see his face hurriedly pulled him out.

He looked back and saw that the other people in the elevator had disappeared. He didn't know, so he followed that person nonchalantly, and found that he was in the middle of a football field. The loud cheers came from the crowds in the surrounding stands. Auditorium.

Are these cheers for me? He smiled proudly and waved to the stands.

But after a while, he was taken to a place, and he found that it was a goal, so he was a goalkeeper? That must be a meritorious goalkeeper!

Before he could warm up, the whistle blew, but what happened? A large group of people ran in front of the goal. Although they couldn't see their faces, they could see the football under their feet clearly.

How come so many people shoot?

He looked at it again, the goal he was guarding was exceptionally large, so big that he couldn't touch the upper frame when he jumped up, and it was naturally extremely wide. He estimated that the goal he was going to defend could fully accommodate a London's double-decker bus, and, on both sides and back, there is no net cover.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the large group of people in front of him kicked the ball vigorously, one by one, shooting at the goal from different angles.

He hurriedly prepared to block, only to find that he was still wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes, not even a set of equipment, and his hands were bare.

And those **** seemed to be coming quickly. Although the angles were different, it seemed that the final destination was on himself, "f*uck," he only had time to swear, just in the audience's shrill laughter, his hands Hold your head and squat down, the next moment, "Bang"...

At this destined tragic moment, Hastings woke up and said, "Boom, boom," someone was knocking on the door patiently.

"Please come in," he said with a postmortem mentality, habitually holding the mouse, but found that the mouse was lying quietly on the carpet next to the chair. The muffled sound just now, could it be the mouse? The sound of falling to the ground?

"Hastins, are you okay?" He raised his head and found that the one who came in to find himself was also saving himself from that terrible dream. It was the old partner Mark Randolph. "We called, you never Pick up,"

"Oh, thinking about the problem, I didn't hear it,"

"Hastings, you must know this situation now," Randolph was so absorbed in not asking what question he was thinking, and shouted out the door, "Come in."

Several executives filed in, all with heavy expressions. Hastings, who had just escaped from such a dream, couldn't see such an expression, "What's wrong, is Pearl Harbor or 911 coming again?"

Everyone ignored the sarcasm in his words, "Hastings," Randolph walked around at the desk with his hips akimbo, "Several departments have received accurate news. For the online DVD rental business, the monthly fee for members is $8, which is two dollars lower than ours!"

Hastings listened and felt dizzy, let's let so many footballs hit me!

He understands the reason why these people in front of him seem to be a little panicked. It is Blockbuster, the market leader in this industry. It turns out that they are not qualified to be its rival Blockbuster, with more resources, users and influence. Power of Blockbuster.

Before its price strategy of two dollars lower than its own price every month, the loyalty of its own users, there is still a **** of loyalty!

"Hastings, what should we do?"

Looking at this big ticket, I looked nervous. I was supposed to solve my problems. The partners and assistants who stood in front of me, Hastings became angry and broke out. "What should I do? Isn't this what I should ask you? Isn’t that the reason the company hired you?"

"You know the company's style very well. We can't tolerate failed employees or smart bastards. For whatever reason, if you can't solve your work problems, then the company has no reason to keep you."

"Are you going back to study the response plan, or come and ask me what to do?"

"Get me out," he pointed to the door, "think about how your department should respond, and show me a plan before get off work."

"Also, remember to straighten my waist after going out, don't look like a wife ran away with someone,"

He was angry all his life, treating everyone the same, Randolph, who had a very ugly face, looked at Hastings, who had a cold face and was already working on the computer, and his mouth moved, but in the end he didn't say a word.

…………

Back in his office, an angry Mark Randolph finally couldn't help but slapped him on the table. "That nasty goatee," he said.

Randolph is really a good-tempered man.

For many people who have the status of co-founder but are not the soul of the company, this seems to be a shared quality.

On the whole, well-known American high-tech companies, their main founders, are extremely capable and at the same time extremely individual.

If a co-founder like Randolph had a bad temper, he couldn't start a business with those guys.

However, regardless of whether it is a foreign company or a domestic company, things are often like this. When the company is starting and struggling, everyone can think about it together and work hard.

When the company has achieved success and everyone is worth a lot of money and it is not necessary to worry about money, the temper seems to have changed with the growth of wealth. The good-tempered people become more and more difficult to tolerate the bad-tempered people. Just like the other Steve, Steve Wozniak, among Apple’s founders, Randolph is now increasingly impatient with Hastings.

Trees all over the world want bark, and people all over the world want faces.

Although he knows that Hastings has been under great pressure recently, he has repeatedly prevented him from coming to power in front of many people. Randolph is really getting more and more unbearable.

Now he is not in the mood to consider the problems facing the company.

As for the deadline set by Hastings to come up with a response plan before get off work, he automatically left it behind.

In the evening, he will accompany his wife to a charity dinner~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is reported that the bosses of many other high-tech companies in Silicon Valley will also be there, and it is time for him to get to know more people again.

…………

Like all charity gatherings in the United States, this evening charity event aimed at protecting whales was held in a mansion garden in Palo Alto. After the promoter’s speech and several rounds of auctions aimed at raising funds, It becomes a social occasion for free communication.

Randolph, who spent one hundred thousand dollars to photograph a bottle of red wine, walked around the court with his wife. His performance just now made many people very interested in telling him a few words. In just over ten minutes, he Successfully exchanged business cards with several influential entrepreneurs, and both have good impressions.

But his mood was still very low. From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to leave Netflix. After all, it was the result of so many years of hard work.

Just Hastings, why are you changing so much now? Why are you less and less concerned about my feelings?

He walked to the corner of the garden with a glass of wine alone, looking at the well-dressed and laid-back people in the field, a little lonely.

"It's boring, isn't it?" A voice rang from the side.

Randolph turned his head and saw that he was a successful person at first sight, holding a good-looking Asian mixed-race, and looking at himself with gleaming eyes.

"Hello, I am Cummins," the middle-aged man introduced himself, "This is my female companion Emilia,"

"Mark Randolph, nice to meet you,"

…………

Netflix, after the employees got off work, the meeting room was brightly lit, Hastings hurriedly walked to the main seat with the computer and sat down, "Everyone has any ideas."

The next moment, he saw the empty chair on his left, "Where is Randolph?" (To be continued.)
