Vol 4 Chapter 285: Consider for our children

"We are the most suitable?" Randolph repeated in a low voice, not seeing whether he was happy or unhappy.

In such a situation, you can't see happiness, but it's actually unhappy.

Feng Yiping nodded instead, "It can be seen that you all regard Netflix as your own business. This is what I value."

Many people start a company for the purpose of making money, so when there is a suitable opportunity, they are happy to sell it, just like the company that Hastings founded before.

There are also some who will never agree to sell the company when the company develops smoothly, but when the company encounters serious challenges, fails to develop, sinks into a trough, and has uncertain prospects, they may be less determined and willing to cash out. Will be strong.

Judging from Hastings’s previous reaction, his opposition does not seem to be for the sake of raising the price. Randolph now looks like he is not as determined as Hastings, but he is also not very impressed with Feng Yiping’s proposal. Interest, you know, Netflix is ​​currently in a trough, at least not growing so fast in the past few years.

Whether it is Wal-Mart's involvement in this industry or Blockbuster's upcoming involvement in this industry, they still have no clear countermeasures, that is, the future is uncertain.

But under such circumstances, they still have no interest in selling the company or introducing investment. Under such circumstances, they still have such confidence in themselves and in the company, even if this is blind, Feng Yiping thinks it is precious.

"Mr. Feng, I respect you," Randolph raised his glass.

"Boom," the three of them touched.

"First of all, thank you very much for your importance. We all know your vision. We must say that your recognition, especially in the current situation, is a great affirmation for us," Randolph said sternly .

He was much more practical than Hastings, and he was very positive about Feng Yiping.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping nodded.

That’s how easy it is to deal with foreigners. In the face of praise, just say thank you.

"Secondly, although this is the first contact, based on your past style, I can be sure that you are interested in Netflix, not for the set of capital operations sold after the reorganization. It can be seen that you too I really want to help us make Netflix do a good job,"

"At least I personally fully believe that you have the ability to develop Netflix better. Yes, I have no doubt about this."

"Thank you for your affirmation. Yes, I also think that Netflix is ​​a worthwhile career. If it is just for making money, really, I have other better and simpler choices," Feng Yiping said.

Randolph quietly listened to him and nodded, "Yes, I believe it, it's just,"

He shook his head, "Netflix is ​​a career that we have dedicated our life to so far. So, IMHO, although we are confident that we can develop Netflix well, even if things go against our expectations in the future, we lose in the competition, and we do not develop well. We have no regrets and no regrets. We have been prepared for this a long time ago."

Feng Yiping smiled and spread his hands. "It seems that we are not contradictory at this point?"

"I have repeatedly expressed my views with Hastings and you. In the final analysis, I am more interested in your team. As long as your team is there, Netflix has gone bankrupt and we will soon be in the ruins. Rebuild a similar company,"

"So after the successful acquisition, Netflix, no, the new Netflix injected with other high-quality assets is still operated by the team headed by you and Hastings. I dare not say about other capabilities, but in terms of strategy, You can rest assured that after the acquisition, you no longer have to worry about the direction of development."

Feng Yiping said this sentence very positively.

Such affirmation on this issue is actually very bullish.

For the operator of a company, the development strategy is really not just what it sounds like, but a big problem that actually concerns the company's development and survival, so it is also a big headache.

Going the wrong way on the mall is different from taking the wrong way on the highway.

I made a mistake on the high-speed, just go around a little longer, then back, the road is still there, and you can start again.

There is no turning back in the shopping mall, and there is no such extravagant thing to set off again. If you miss it, it is not only missed, but failure or sinking may follow.

On this issue, I believe that even the richest man Bill Gates cannot be so sure.

However, Feng Yiping did not hesitate, did not hesitate, was very confident, and said with certainty.

Accompanied by these words, there is a sense of scowling in all directions-it is about the same as the so-called domineering spirit, which is really impressive.

Of course, this must be based on Feng Yiping's past successes, otherwise, it would be real arrogance.

Randolph couldn't help but was stunned. This is not something that is irrelevant to small talk. It is related to a specific company, and it seems to be a company that will be closely related to them, which is the real chapter in the future.

But Feng Yiping is so sure, so it doesn't look like a fake.

"It seems that there is really an unknown blue ocean in this respect," Randolph said with some emotion.

But an honest person is an honest person. He didn't try to get Feng Yiping to leak like Hastings did. He didn't even ask.

"Even so, we are definitely not interested in being acquired," he shook his head, followed by another, and sighed, "Oh!"

They especially need this new direction now.

"Feng, have you considered another possibility," he suddenly suggested with some excitement, "Can you just invest in our company, I believe you, Hastings will also be happy to introduce your strategic investment If he doesn’t want to, I’m sure I can convince him.”

"It's a pity," Feng Yiping shook his head, "this one is not my choice either,"

He waved his hand to stop Randolph’s persuasion, "The reason is very simple. I have actually told you that there will be vital and high-quality assets to be merged into Netflix. If it were not for acquisition, future operations would be more troublesome."

"Can you consider that after you become a shareholder and board member of Netflix, we can discuss Netflix and your acquisition of high-quality assets prepared for Netflix?"

Finally it was Cummins' turn to shake his head, "Sorry, that would turn one merger into two mergers, which would consume more resources and time."

"At the same time, Feng only became a member of the board of directors of Netflix, so there was a conflict of interest in the second merger."

"Then, I can only say," Randolph looked a pity.

Feng Yiping interrupted him and didn't let him finish the rest. "Or, go outside," he said, pointing to the golf course outside by the sea.

"It's a pleasure," Randolph said.

He didn't want to end this way either.

However, he now increasingly hopes that Feng Yiping can become a strategic investor in his company.

…………

The sun is very warm and the sea breeze is very clear. Coming on the court has a refreshing feeling.

"Randolph, what are we doing for the company?" Feng Yiping put his hands in his pockets and suddenly asked Randolph.

"Listen to my opinion first," he stopped Randolph's words again, "First of all, it is natural to have a return, to solve the economic problems in our lives, this problem, currently treats you to me to Hastings For Si, it’s not a problem, right?"

"Without this point, there is a saying in China that a company ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the child of the founder. I very much agree with this view."

"Since we are children, the first thing we want to pursue is to make our children happy, happy, and carefree. Do you agree with my view?"

He asked Randolph, who was listening very seriously.

"We have a similar saying.

"That seems to be the most important point, we don't have any differences," Feng Yiping said.

"So, from this point, sometimes, for the happiness of our children, we get a little wronged, that's not a problem, right? Right,"

"Sometimes, for the development of our children, we have to use external forces, or let other institutions to nurture them with us, right?"

Randolph nodded again.

"You agree with these, which makes me very happy," Feng Yiping said, "I believe there is no big problem between us,"

"It’s just that I think Hastings doesn’t have Randolph’s kind of vision. He connects himself with Netflix too tightly and binds him too tightly. Sometimes I think his purpose is not to do Netflix. , His purpose is to tie Netflix tightly around him."

"You don't have to oppose," Feng Yiping said to Randolph. "You do or don't oppose. Hastings is like that, right?"

"Then I don't think that this would be a good thing for Netflix. Similarly, it may not be a good thing for him personally, right?"

Randolph originally wanted to refute, but looking at Feng Yiping's eyes, he really couldn't say anything to refute.

"Directly speaking, we have done a lot of investigations on you. This is also the most different point between you and Hastings. You can completely consider it only for the company."

"Then Randolph, for Netflix's consideration, my proposal and my plan are definitely the best. What do you think?" (To be continued.)
