Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

Ordinary employees didn't feel that, Hastings still retained his usual style in front of them, and he still had a great look everywhere.

But in the past two days, Netflix's executives have become more and more sad. Hastings didn't say anything. He stretched his face in front of them every day. It was common to work overtime to meet to discuss countermeasures.

No way. Although in front of employees and in interviews, they all dismissed Blockbuster, but Netflix's executives knew that Blockbuster is still a behemoth relative to itself, and it is a true DVD rental industry. Giant.

The reason why Netflix has achieved his current achievements is like stealing some development while the giant is taking a nap. However, now the giant is awake and his eyes are wide open, and his actions have nothing to do with it. Not to mention the shape, it also put down its figure, ready to follow its own approach.

Even if they believe that their company started early in this field, it has many advantages, but if you put yourself in the position and operate with the conditions and resources of Blockbuster, how long can these advantages be maintained?

It is not known that they will soon be better than the blue. In other words, it is very possible.

The most critical point is that Blockbuster has already set out its cart and has to fight a price war. For the same service, their cost is 20% lower. This alone can have many advantages.

In that case, how can you not be afraid? Blindly optimistic can't do it, Hastings's face is darker, that's normal.

What makes executives even more uncomfortable is that the co-founder of the company, Mark Randolph, who has always been gentle and can effectively coordinate their relationship with Hastings, has also been very irritable these days since the day he was absent from the meeting.

Not to mention the mediation between them and Hastings to round the field. In the past two days, he was sometimes more temperamental than Hastings, and even Hastings rarely played for them in front of Randolph.

Of course, when the two of them are very angry together, it makes the already stressed executives feel that sometimes the air in the company will freeze like ice.

Serving a bad-tempered boss is already a headache. Now if you come to another one, it is not a headache, but a head burst.

…………

"We also cut prices. Do you think it will be useful?" Randolph took a closer look at the plan in front of him. "When will there be a real winner in the price war? Are you sure that we can win this price war in the end? ?"

Randolph threw the folder back with a "pop", "It has no reference value at all,"

Randolph didn't know that he had a bad temper these two days, but he really didn't bother to control it.

The company's development has already encountered major challenges, and it can be determined that in the future, it will face more severe tests and challenges.

It happened at this time that I discovered that my partner Hastings was hiding something so important from him..., honestly, we also have a temper!

Just after scolding someone, he was also on the main station of NEXTDOOR, and saw the reprinted Toronto Star article, and his mood was a little worse.

In the past few days, he has been paying attention to Feng Yiping's whereabouts. Randolph is even more unhappy to see him being followed up by various media in Canada and promoting his company all the way.

Not for other reasons, but when his company is currently struggling, Feng Yiping's company can still develop rapidly, which is really unpleasant.

Seeing the vibrating phone, his eyes lit up, "Hello Cummins,"

"Hello Mr. Randolph, Feng Xiang will invite you to have lunch at the original rocky beach at noon tomorrow. Do you have time?"

"No problem, the original Rock Beach Hotel? I must be there on time."

He had to figure out what Hastings had talked with that person before he could sink his heart.

…………

Speaking of the Monterey Peninsula, it is estimated that many people will be very confused, but if you mention Pebble Beach, it is estimated that more people know.

On November 5, 1950, a few rich people held a classic car-themed gathering here for self-entertainment. It has become a world-renowned classic car race in Pebble Beach, although it still looks like It is a social carnival for the rich, but it has successfully attracted the attention of car enthusiasts all over the world.

In addition, there are the top golf courses in the United States, and it is also the place where Tiger Woods became famous.

There is another thing that is more closely related to us. Zhang Daqian, the master of Chinese painting, also has two old residences in the small town of Carmel on the Monterey Peninsula. You can live in and around Bizhen. Most of the people who admire the scenery of US Highway 1 Will stop here, pay tribute to the master's style.

Americans, especially those in Northern California, are not unfamiliar with this, because it is said to be the most beautiful part of the west coast of the United States. Many wealthy people have their own mansions in the redwood forest by the bay. Ordinary people also regard this as a holiday. Destination.

Of course, Randolph came here today without the leisurely feeling of looking at the scenery, and the weather is not very good. It was a big cloudy day. What he saw along the way was not the blue sea and blue sky in his impression.

However, just when he parked his car at the original rocky beach golf course by the bay, when he got off the car, the sun leaped hard and struggled out of the clouds. In an instant, the sunny blue sea and the green grass golf course , Randolph could not help but become more cheerful.

"Hi, Randolph," along with the original Rocky Beach Golf Course, also on the second floor of the original Rocky Beach Hotel opened in 1919, Cummins, dressed in casual clothes, waved to him with a smile.

"Hello," Randolph walked up quickly, neither Feng Yiping nor the beauty of that day.

"Coffee first, Feng will be back soon," Cummins led Randolph toward the restaurant on the left.

"Come back?" Isn't he not here yet?

"Over there," Cummins gestured towards the front of the court. On the coast, a group of people, a young man in a striking yellow sweater, was chasing a little girl in front of him and running towards the hotel. The two laughed. , With the sea breeze, clearly audible.

Randolph didn't care about Feng Yiping's relationship with that little girl. He only cared about one thing. His feelings are here. Is it really a vacation?

Cummins seemed to see his thoughts and explained, "Feng is also here for the first time. His grandfather and parents are on vacation from China."

Oh, Cummins’ explanation made Randolph understand Feng Yiping’s two points: He spends a lot of time at work, and he is a family-oriented person.

These two points gave Randolph a more favorable impression of Feng Yiping, who had never met before. From these two points, it is not difficult to see that this is a very responsible person.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Feng Yiping wiped his daughter's blushing face, "Hey, dad still has a job at noon today, okay if you and mom have dinner together?"

Amanda is quite sensible. She glanced at the two people in the restaurant looking at this side with a smile, put her arms around Feng Yiping's neck, and kissed him on the face, "Dad, remember to eat with us tonight,"

…………

"Hello Randolph," Feng Yiping stretched out his hand to him from afar.

"It's nice to meet you, Feng," Randolph also hurriedly stood up. "Will it be too disturbing at noon today?"

"No, not at all, I am ashamed to make you rush here, please sit down,"

Parents and their return journey is just around the corner. Feng Yiping wants to take them around Silicon Valley to get better, so that they can see the scenery without being in a hurry like the other day.

"Sorry, this is the first time I have come to the restaurant here. There is nothing to recommend to you," Feng Yiping said.

"Trout is good, crabs are good, along the coast of California, Fisherman's Wharf is everywhere, and the seafood is very good," Randolph actively recommended.

Feng Yiping ordered the salmon in a kind-hearted manner. After a few words of greeting, Randolph asked directly, "Feng, I talked to Cummins once. It sounds like you are very interested in our Netflix?"

Feng Yiping was not surprised when he asked, "Yes, I am very interested in Netflix, and more importantly, I really appreciate your team."

"Are you buying?" Randolph asked immediately. In the past two days, he thought he probably understood what Feng Yiping meant.

"Yes, that's what we planned," Feng Yiping said without shy. "To be clear, we have done a lot of preparations for the acquisition of Netflix, and now everything is ready."

"Hastings agreed?" Randolph asked eagerly.

"It may be due to the previous experience that prevented Blockbuster from taking over," Feng Yiping said very politely. At that time, Netflix could not survive, and Hastings had no confidence in the next development, so he took the initiative. Look to Blockbuster for an acquisition.

"For cooperation at the capital level, Hastings seems to be very repulsive now," Feng Yiping spread his hands.

Hearing this, Randolph suddenly relaxed.

It turns out Hastings didn't agree. It turns out that he has been so short-tempered recently because behind the threats of Wal-Mart and Blockbuster, there is still a company like NEXTDOOR that is eye-catching.

Cummins didn't understand what Randolph meant. Is it so anxious to see Feng Yiping just to ask this sentence?

"You bought Coin Star. It's very beautiful. It will definitely become a classic in the history of mergers and acquisitions." Randolph's current state is very different and very comfortable.

"I just want to ask, why are we? I think you should all know that Netflix's current performance is really not good."

"We are very clear about these. I analyzed your financial data and estimated that in 2003, Netflix's profit would be more than 7 million U.S. dollars at most, not more than 8 million U.S. dollars," Feng Yiping said, "From a financial perspective, It's really not worth the investment,"

Randolph was unavoidably stunned. He was naturally aware of this. Although there is still more than a month before the end of the year, the financial department’s estimate is exactly the same as Feng Yiping’s estimate. The company’s annual profit this year will be at most It's only 7 million US dollars.

"However, since you know the case of my acquisition of Coin Star, you should know my style of mergers and acquisitions," Feng Yiping said. "The companies that have developed very well and have high returns have never been in my consideration. , It’s just money, it’s boring,"

Feng Yiping took a sip of wine and said this sentence lightly, but the domineering inside made people couldn't help but look down.

Sometimes, it is still necessary to install 13 appropriately, and, as far as Feng Yiping is concerned, he is also fully qualified.

Randolph couldn't help but examine the quiet gaze in front of him again, with a sweet smile, like a Chinese boy next door.

At a young age ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in just a few years, he has become one of the 100 richest people in fact, and his reputation in academia is also not low. It can be said that they are among the 100 richest people. The only one among the people.

Regardless of Bill Gates or Buffett, their business abilities in their respective fields are naturally excellent, but how can they also have academic achievements that have attracted the attention of the world?

Therefore, what Feng Yiping said, although arrogant, but unreasonably convincing.

"I like challenges. When I am ready, I can successfully meet any challenge."

"Randolph, I told you last time that Feng knows best which direction Netflix should go in. We are also convinced that as long as Netflix is ​​on the right path, the future development will exceed many people's expectations." Cummins said.

Randolph's eyes lit up when he heard this for the second time, "Oh, I think I understand. Since the summer, Hastings has been with everyone in the company, looking for the blue ocean of our industry again and again. Saying that there is a direction will be very promising. So it was Feng you who said this? Yes, who knows better than you when it comes to discovering the blue ocean?"

"Yes, I said it," Feng Yiping nodded. "And just like when I purchased Coin Star, I had already made a plan. It can be said that this time, we are more fully prepared and support all aspects. The industry is ready. As long as the merger is over, the Netflix you created will once again be at the forefront of the times under your leadership, and set sail again."

"Why us?" Randolph asked, "I believe that as long as your plan is attractive, Blockbuster and Hollywood Film and Television will also welcome you to join."

"It's very simple, you are the most suitable," Feng Yiping also said bluntly. It is naturally the most suitable for Netflix to do what Netflix will do in the future. (To be continued.)
