Vol 4 Chapter 296: break

Randolph sighed, drank the rest of the beer, looked at the beer that hadn't moved much, and saw the beer splashing out on the table. He knocked his fist on the table twice, his face was cold. Out of the bar.

In the evening of this meeting, the temperature in Los Gatos was the same as usual. In fact, it remained at least around 15 degrees, but he just felt a little cold.

"Hi, buddy, is there any more smoke?" he said to a guy who was snorting under the lamppost over there.

"Here," the guy in jeans and a sweater with a scarf lost one, but Randolph, who doesn't smoke very often, didn't bring the fire, so he had to go over and borrow the fire.

"Dude, I know you," the man said, looking at Randolph, and letting out a big smoke ring.

"You come here often too? Well," Randolph felt a little choked after not smoking for a long time.

"Yes, hey, your companion, that's the one," the man compared his beard, and Hastings' goatee was quite recognizable.

"He left beforehand,"

In fact, Randolph understood that this time, Hastings was afraid it was not as simple as leaving first.

For their partners who have worked for many years, quarreling is actually fine.

The quarrel can be said to have accompanied him and Hastings to start a business, which is also accompanied by the whole process of Netflix's growth.

If you do some statistical analysis, the number of quarrels between him and Hastings is many times more than the number of quarrels between him and his wife.

Naturally, the original quarrels will not affect their cooperation and the public-private relationship between them.

However, considering the huge differences they are currently facing, the situation that Hastings had nothing to say or did not want to say just now is the worst.

This is actually similar to the relationship between husband and wife. Between husband and wife, they are not afraid of quarreling, but it doesn't matter what you say or do. Then, the problem will be big.

The smoking buddy put out the cigarette **** on the lamp post, and skillfully bounced it into the trash can not far away, "It's nice to have a like-minded buddy, bye."

He dropped a sentence, put his hand in his pocket, and walked away, but let Randolph, who was standing under the dim lamppost and smoking, looked even more lonely.

He couldn't help feeling that it seemed to be colder and darker this day, but when he looked back at the direction of the company, his waist straightened a bit.

He squeezed out the smoke in his hand and bounced it towards the trash can, however, it missed!

At this time, such a trivial matter made him curse inwardly.

But this seemed to be just the beginning of his bad luck. When he left the intersection in the town, he was gestured by several people.

Although he has made a clear choice between friendship and company, it is normal for Randolph to lose consciousness when he waits for the traffic light under such circumstances.

So, at the crossroads at 7 o'clock in the evening, a Prius was blocked at the crossroads, and the green light was on for a long time without moving, and the horns and flashing lights of the vehicles behind him turned a deaf ear.

It’s been a hard day at the company, and now it’s not smooth to get home. Also, the forecast said it would rain at night. None of the cars blocked by him had a good temper. After finally moving, they all coincided with each other. Going in front of him, he raised his **** severely.

…………

Hearing the sound of the car, Mrs. Randolph Julia greeted the door, "Have you talked for so long?"

"There was a delay on the road," Randolph put his briefcase on top of his head and ran under the porch. "It's okay."

"Nothing?" Julia's nose is lingering, "You're all smoking, nothing else?"

"Tell me, you and Hastings, is there really such a big difference this time?" Julia asked.

"I think about the company," Randolph said.

"Wipe," Julia handed him a towel. "Do you really think that Mr. Feng's plan will be very beneficial to the company?"

Originally, Randolph would not talk to his wife too much about the company at home, but these days, he really has something to say.

"According to his statement, the company will have a big leap," Randolph said. "As far as Coin Star is concerned, his acquisition of the company must be targeted and he has already made relevant plans."

"And Netflix is ​​still different from Coin Star. The market value is several times that of it. He will definitely be more cautious. Now that he says this, he is also ready to start the acquisition immediately. I think it must be because he has certainty, no matter it is Acquisition, or development after acquisition,"

"With Hastings's personality, his approach is understandable," Julia said. "But if it is true, Randolph, should we prepare early and plan for our future?"

Women always think more about their family.

"what do you mean?"

"Yes, I think this is the case, plus you said that Feng is a very easy person to get along with, then I think they are right, it is best to buy by agreement, don't let Netflix be led by Hastings to follow There was a confrontation, and in the end it had to take a tender offer, which was completely internal friction."

"Those on the board of directors have a good relationship with you. Can you do work now? This will definitely promote your position in the new company in the future," Julia hugged Randolph, "Dear, I think this is a good opportunity,"

In other words, some men can accept the leadership of others, but some women are really unwilling to subdue to others.

Well, even if there are many times in fact, they will be subjugated to others, um, you should know!

"The executives of Coin Star have not changed much after the merger," Randolph said.

"But that's a negotiated acquisition, isn't it?" Julia said, "This time, it's probably a malicious tender offer. How could they still have such a good impression of the management?"

"Furthermore, if you can turn a malicious M&A into a bona fide M&A, wouldn't it be a great achievement? That Mr. Feng will definitely have more favors for you, won't he?"

"No, I won't do this," Randolph said flatly, "I won't,"

He paused, "I will only consider the interests of the company."

"Don't you think this is in the best interests of the company?" Julia said.

…………

Hastings is much more determined than Randolph. After so many twists and turns, his heart has become very strong.

This kind of power is often shown externally, and that is ruthless.

It was not the first time I started a business. Although I was ignorant and succeeded, I still insisted on pursuing my ideals, not to mention the people who couldn't make up their minds or even lay off employees.

After the last effort failed, he did not go home, went back to the company nearby, and sent some emails soon.

The disagreement is irreversible, Randolph is still hesitant about what to do next, Hastings won't.

Although he wrote the contents of these emails for the first time, they were written in one go without stopping.

This may have something to do with his emotions at this time, or perhaps, subconsciously, he had been prepared for such a situation a long time ago, and he had already finished the draft.

He really didn't have a clear plan for the anti-takeover, but he might not agree with him in the future for Randolph, even if he hadn't made it public, even if it was unclear, he was afraid that he had already prepared.

After sending those emails, he felt a lot more relaxed, a little melancholy. When he walked through the office area that was very empty because no one was there at this time, it quickly disappeared. This, It's my Netflix!

…………

I don’t know where the candy slipped out, and ran home wet, "Candy," Amanda ran over with open hands, "Why are you raining?"

"Come back," several people yelled at the same time, but when they said it was too late, the candy had been shaken very quickly, but the little girl didn't care about the rain falling on her body, but found it a bit funny, "Candy, you Is this taking a shower?"

Candy affectionately licked her pink tongue in the palm of the little master's palm, which was authentic and doglegged.

"Hehe, it tickles,"

"Tell you not to come," Huang Jingping mentioned her daughter, "Now you have to take a bath,"

"Candy, let's go, let's dry it for you," the little girl really regards candy as her best partner now.

"Grandpa, do you want to eat first, we will just wait," Huang Jingping said.

"It's okay, wait and eat together," Mei Jianzhong walked to the door with his hands behind his back to watch the rain.

"Whose phone number?" Mother Huang glanced upstairs and asked her daughter, "Why did you call me just during dinner?"

"I don't know, it's business anyway," Huang Jingping said.

Seeing that her daughter is so carefree, Mother Huang really asked her a few words.

However, for the current situation, it may be a good thing for her daughter to be so big.

They have some experience in how to control men reliably, but those experiences have a big premise, their men do things in the doorway of the house, and the scope of activities is not large, so in addition to themselves, some people supervise him.

It is conceivable that for Feng Yiping who runs around the world in the morning and at night abroad, doing business with people from all corners of the world, their experience is really not enough and not applicable.

She thinks a lot.

Feng Yiping is answering the phone call from Bezos.

Only if he is so focused on work, but if there is a rich man with a rank as high as Gates, he will call at this time, and he doesn't feel anything wrong.

First of all, his wealth and status allow him to call anyone in his address book without caring about time.

At the same time, he has not yet reached the point of Gates, and he has a strong desire to control.

Naturally, it was Feng Yiping's investment in imdb.

"Bezos, I seriously considered for a few days, even if imdb's current profitability is average, I am still happy to invest because you let me invest," Feng Yiping said.

Well, everyone likes to listen to it, and Bezos is no exception, "Haha, thank you,"

Feng Yiping was thinking, would he be happily touching his head, which is close to bald?

"Then, you can arrange for someone to settle this matter as soon as possible, and when we sign the contract, we will meet again," Bezos said.

"But Bezos, I have to declare first that I have no idea how to make imdb improve its profitability."

It's not at all, but he really doesn't want to say it right now.

The reason is more complicated. To put it simply, if he remembers correctly, in the future, Amazon and Netflix will actually compete.

This is not unpredictable. Now Amazon sells ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Netflix rental DVDs, and the business scope of the two has actually been involved to a certain extent.

The comment section on the nextdoor website has already conflicted with imdb.

Helping Amazon in this area now is no less than adding to the troubles of your own future.

So, let's say it or not, it mainly depends on the future development.

"That's it?" Bezos's voice didn't necessarily make him unhappy. Feng Yiping emphasized it once, and he naturally wouldn't ask if it was true or false.

"That's okay, I believe we can figure out a way to be together," Bezos said, "Feng, I welcome you first!"

Being so valued by another big boss, Feng Yiping suddenly felt pressured.

As soon as the phone was put down, it rang again. Feng Yiping took a look at Meyer's. It seemed that Huang's sixth sense was really good.

"It's raining, I haven't eaten yet. I don't know where to eat. Hey, have you been to the company for a few days?"

Feng Yiping could hear the sound of the wipers rubbing the front windshield alone.

Feng Yiping looked at the file in the computer, "I have to suggest to Peppa and others about something, and I will go to the company within a few days."

"Dad, it's dinner time, Amanda is so hungry," Amanda, with her hair blowing and changing clothes, opened the door and shouted.

"Don't disturb Dad," Huang Jingping shouted from behind.

As soon as Mayer over there heard the voice from here, he immediately hung up the phone without saying anything, which made Feng Yiping feel a little guilty, "Well, okay, I see," he had to face the microphone After saying a few words, he hung up the phone.

Feng Yiping didn't even realize that at this time, his heart had also become very strong, so that at this time, he would be able to not be confused at all.

Of course, it's really nothing right now.
