Vol 4 Chapter 260: King to king

Hastings knew for the first time that Feng Yiping had returned to Silicon Valley, but he did not urge him. At this time, he already regretted his impulse a few days ago.

He also wanted to see when Buchanan would call him.

The result was not very satisfactory to him. He didn't receive a call from Buchanan until Feng Yiping came back from get off work on the day of his return. It seems that his rush is very low in their ranking.

"Hastins, Feng wants to ask you, do you have time the next morning?"

This is considered polite, but Mr. Hastings is a little angry now, so his answer is, "I'm sorry, my schedule is very full the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, that's just right! Feng doesn't have to cancel his original schedule, let's go directly to Seattle,"

You can't hear Buchanan feeling upset or annoyed, but he is happy and relieved. You will hear him clearly.

And Seattle, Hastings can't listen to this now.

Amazon, the owner of imdb, is located in Seattle. Now both parties are a little secretive about nextdoor's plan to acquire imdb, and it is very unclear. They are going at this time, is it talking about it?

Hastings immediately changed his tone, "Buchanan, don't you want me to meet Feng, do you? I haven't finished speaking yet, you know best, I want to meet Feng a long time ago, so no matter how full the schedule is, I must also call it out at this time."

His transition looks quite seamless, Buchanan just took the conversation, it was faster.

"That's it," Buchanan's voice sounded, as if he was really a little sad, "Feng Houtian is free after 9 am, will you be at the company by then?"

These words are very polite again.

"I'll go to nextdoor, I've long wanted to see you," Hastings was also very polite.

But he was really not polite, and he naturally wanted Feng Yiping to visit him instead of him taking the initiative to visit Feng Yiping.

But now let Feng Yiping come to Netflix, do you think I am stupid?

This Feng Yiping is now a man of the world, and his methods are really superb. No matter how insensitive people, he can also see from the cooperation with McDonald’s to run the redbox. He is very interested in DVD leasing, and he is also doing it. Very good, he didn't want to make people misunderstand what he wanted to cooperate with him.

However, Feng Yiping is afraid that he hopes that everyone will think so very much. If it is not good, he will use this opportunity to Netflix to spread some news that is beneficial to him.

To be honest, tough Hastings, life is not easy this year.

Netflix’s sales this year were not optimistic, and the number of new subscribers was limited. But to make matters worse, a strong retail giant like Wal-Mart was so immortal that it also focused on this cake, relying on so many stores to launch it. Own DVD rental business.

But this is not the most sad thing. What makes people sad is that the so-called misfortune does not come singly.

The threat of the retail giant Wal-Mart has not been eliminated. On the other side, the old rival, Blockbuster, is actually very disregarded and is copying their own model that they originally looked down on. The hateful guy in Antioch, summoned A group of people are intensively preparing for online leasing business.

If Blockbuster only does physical stores, then compared with Netflix, its huge expenses in physical stores are its biggest disadvantage.

However, if it operates online business at the same time, relies on so many offline physical stores, optimizes resource allocation, and facilitates customer consumption, Hastings knows that it will definitely produce the effect of one plus one greater than two, which will definitely affect itself. Huge pressure and challenges.

It's true that the lion here hasn't run away yet, and there is another tiger behind it.

This reality and this trend have made many shareholders very dissatisfied, and they have even put forward an opinion. In order to increase sales, but also to prevent the upcoming impact of Blockbuster, can Netflix consider contacting some potential companies? Cooperation?

Feng Yiping's Coin Star and redbox are both excellent partners for cooperation.

This will bring Feng Yiping to the door, isn't it right in his arms?

"So good, at 9 o'clock the day after tomorrow, Feng Hui is waiting for you in the company,"

"Hi Buchanan," Hastings cried and added, "This time, my position is a private meeting."

He decided to put the ugly words on the front so that nextdoor would not have the opportunity to benefit from it.

"No problem, we promise to keep it secret," Buchanan also agreed readily.

…………

"This is a cautious person," Feng Yiping told Cummins after listening to Buchanan's report.

They really meant to disclose this to the media. Anyway, the preparations for the acquisition of Netflix are already in place. If he obeys, the two companies will go hand in hand with the kind, loving each other. Family in one.

If he disagrees, at most he will resist a few times. In the end, he can be unwilling or unwilling, but he still has to fit together obediently, oh no, as a family.

In short, Feng Yiping has been planning for so long, from funding to the ecological chain, one by one, he is ready to put in place, and even postponed the launch of YouTube. Whether Netflix is ​​active or passive, there can only be one result.

"From another perspective, it seems that Hastings is a person who puts everything on the bright side. It should be easier to talk to him," Cummins said.

"No Cummins," Feng Yiping shook his head, "That is the ideal situation, so we can't think like that."

"Actually, you can think so. He hopes to make it clear about what is good for him," he said. "Right, it is very possible, but he doesn't want to put things that are good for us. It's clear on the surface, isn't it?"

"You are right," Cummins thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Before this merger is over, we really can't be blindly optimistic, assuming that everything is good for us."

Or you can be optimistic, but I can't.

In fact, most of the time, as the ultimate responsible person of the group, he cannot be blindly optimistic. If he is optimistic, then Jiasheng may not be so optimistic.

"Then you prepare," Feng Yiping installed his computer, "I have to go home,"

Mom and Dad, it's almost time to get home now.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the company, Zheng Jiayi also happened to take Mei Jianzhong around from there.

Grandpa has always been unable to stay at home, and now he is more curious than young people, and wants to see the world more.

Feng Yiping has never been old, so he doesn't know if this is a commonality among older people. The older you get, the more you miss everything.

But no matter what, he decided to let him go and see more places as long as Grandpa is willing.

"Thank you Jiayi,"

"Thank you, Miss Zheng, for coming to eat at home when you have time," Grandpa said.

"Where, I want to thank Grandpa, otherwise I will have to work honestly in the company? How nice to be outside! Goodbye Grandpa!"

She waved her hand and hurriedly walked towards the company.

Those words just now are naturally for the old man, and the current adaptability training is very important to them.

"It's rare for her mother to be such a big official, she can be so temperamental," Mei Jianzhong said, "I remember the children of the leaders in the village, who had a much stronger temper than her."

Yes, it turned out that, including now many local cadres at the grassroots level, work in a paternalistic style. They regard themselves as the emperor of the land and treat their children with great care.

However, relatively speaking, the higher the parental level, the more convergent or cautious the ya-nai is. They all have their own relatively fixed circle and will never reach out. On average, the governor’s son is really not like that. The mayor's son is so public.

As for the top Ya Nei, hehe, most people want to meet it, it may be more difficult than meeting his senior officials' parents.

Besides, Zheng Jiayi in high school, how can she have a good temper? It seems like a sudden change after arriving at university.

"It's quite rare, Grandpa, after going back this time, how about you spend the winter in our hotel in Hainan with your little aunt and her dad? I will arrange for someone to drive you around the island."

"Let Lao Cai go, how can I go?"

This old man has no concept of retirement.

It's okay, Feng Yiping has a way to make him submit.

…………

The grandfather and grandson did not wait for a while at the bottom of the mountain before the RV arrived. Huang Jingping walked down first holding Amanda, who was still sleepy, "Look at Grandpa Zeng, see Dad,"

The little guy yawned greatly.

"I played too hard in the past two days and didn't have a nap," Huang Jingping explained.

Feng Yiping touched his daughter's head, "Uncles and aunts, parents," he stared at the three suitcases Carol and they sorted out in a daze, "three when I went, and three when I came back. You have nothing. Buy?"

"I have everything, what else to buy?" Huang Chengzhong said.

"Yes," the three agreed in unison.

Feng Yiping looked at Huang Jingping, she smiled and shrugged.

"Let's go home and take a lot of photos," Feng Zhenchang said enthusiastically.

…………

When Hastings set off from Los Gatos, the sky was raining, and the town immediately became wet. Except for those who came out to walk the dogs, no one could be seen outside. The jungle was always overcrowded. There are only a few people on the small train.

Under a tree next to the green space, two pigeons, which are estimated to be too fat to fly, hide helplessly and embarrassedly there.

He felt a little unhappy inexplicably.

He will finally arrive at nextdoor before 9 o'clock, and the front desk is very enthusiastic, "Mr. Feng is waiting for you, please come with me,"

"Thank you," Hastings paid attention to the situation in this small building. The decoration is very fashionable, at least more high-tech than the current decoration of his company.

The atmosphere is very good, the employees are very relaxed, and there are a lot of smiles on the faces of those group discussions.

It seems that nextdoor has performed well recently.

On the other hand, my own company, there are lions and tigers next to me, this is really depressing for a while.

The front desk knocked twice on the door of an office on the south side of the second floor and opened the door gently, "Please, please, inside."

"Haha, you must be Mr. Hastings, please come in,"

By the window, in front of that set of Chinese-style hardwood furniture, a young man in a thin goose yellow sweater was standing there with a smile. The real person seemed to be younger than the one seen on TV.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Feng," Hastings smiled and walked over.

"You came just right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ please sit down," Feng Yiping gave him to the chair on the right.

Come just right? What do you mean? Do you mean I'm too punctual?

"Please wait a minute," Feng Yiping turned and walked towards the corner of the wall. On the exquisite charcoal stove above, Shajiao was making a brisk noise, and the water was ready.

Hastings only noticed that there were a teapot and a few cups on the coffee table, and a few things he couldn't name. Is this for tea? Is he so leisurely?

"Hehe, our Chinese Kung Fu tea," Feng Yiping tried his best to have a cup and a pot.

Helplessness was still lacking, and water splashed on him accidentally.

Of course, Hastings, who first saw Kung Fu tea, certainly couldn't see these ways.

He patiently watched Feng Yiping adding tea leaves to the teapot with a rhythm, adding the water that had been boiled twice, pouring the teapot again, and then washing the cup with boiling water. He was not afraid of being hot?

Of course it's hot, Feng Yiping can't wait to touch his ears with his hands, so his actions are definitely not graceful, hey, let alone graceful, he almost made all the mistakes that should be made, and overflowed when flushing... .

If Chaoshan people see it, they will shake their heads.

However, Hastings, who had been patient, now finds it a bit interesting.

When Feng Yiping finally finished a set of procedures, it was only low, but unpleasant and uneven, and not too exhaustive to sprinkle tea to let him taste, he also solemnly got up, holding up the small cup of steaming and aroma with both hands. The overflowing little teacup took a sip, and it was not too hot, but why is it so bitter?

Feng Yiping drank it sweetly, "You'll know when you wait, the long-term sweetness is after suffering."

Am i easy? In order to impress you, in order to make this sentence come out with style, this richest man has bothered to play such a set of tricks.
