Vol 4 Chapter 322: Forced palace

A genius remembers "Love♂Go÷Xiao?Speaking→Net" in one second, and provides you with wonderful novel reading.

The American media are indeed professional.

They have a very mature operating mechanism and a large number of practitioners who are familiar with this mechanism and have outstanding capabilities.

To a certain extent, these reporters are actually no different from the police. They have been paying close attention to market trends, and tracking a piece of news can last for several months or even longer.

They are good at collecting news through various means, and they also have their own news channels, that is, information providers like police "informants".

Of course, they collect information more through open channels. After all, with the rise of the Internet, the days of the media are quite a bit of Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and one year is worse than one year.

That is, the relevant budget compiled is not as sufficient as before.

But in any case, the business registration of Delaware has always been the focus of their attention, because according to the process of mergers and acquisitions in the United States, before the merger, they generally choose to register a new company here.

After NEXTDOOR ingeniously registered a company called "Blue Ocean 1" and successfully acquired Coin Star, Good Multimedia became interested in it, because they all knew that when NEXTDOOR's "Blue Ocean 2" appeared , It means that its new merger and acquisition has kicked off.

Therefore, when these reporters knew that Blue Ocean 2 had been registered almost at the same time, they immediately contacted NEXTDOOR and Feng Yiping's recent activities to infer the company's mission.

Led by The Wall Street Journal, many mainstream media reported the news.

"Target Netflix", soon, newspapers with such news were sent to thousands of households.

The only thing they are not sure about is the nature of the merger this time, whether it was an agreement acquisition like the last time or a hostile acquisition.

Regarding this point, the Wall Street Journal reporter gave his own judgment that it should be a mandatory merger, because they just bought the shares of Netflix held by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Asset Management Company on the sidelines not long ago.

If it is an agreed acquisition that both boards of directors agree, there should not be such a move.

Of course, things in the market are true and false, and deceitful, and it is not ruled out that NEXTDOOR uses this method to prompt Netflix's board of directors to agree to its proposal for an agreement to acquire.

"So, both are possible, but one thing is certain is that the answer is about to be revealed," the Wall Street Journal concluded.

…………

Hastings hurriedly walked into Netflix. He knew best what NEXTDOOR's move meant-the mandatory acquisition war was about to start.

Next, is the most critical period of his life.

Such pressure is also great for a strong person like him, especially after experiencing the painful decision before, and the board does not seem to be on his side.

The only consolation is that he finally found a strong foreign aid.

But he was also faintly concerned about whether his white knight could successfully save himself when the board of directors was not on his side.

The deeper worry is that even he is reluctant to think about whether that powerful white knight can strongly support him?

This is something he will implement now.

Because this matter is too important, very important to him, and very important to Netflix, so when he entered the company, he had no time to pay attention to it for the first time, and he had no time to boost the morale of employees. It made all those who follow him see his face. On the solemn.

If he could look at everyone's expressions at this time, he would find that so many employees were puzzled and confused.

Almost the news of NEXTDOOR's registration for Blue Ocean 2 was announced. The mission of this company was spread in a small area on Netflix and spread rapidly.

The more important the news, the less impermeable walls are. This situation seems to apply everywhere.

At that time, there would always be some people who revealed such important news to the public. This time Netflix, it was Randolph who pushed it behind.

With the influence of his co-founder, it is naturally easy to spread such news in the company.

While disseminating the news, he also focused on delivering other messages, "Now Netflix, acquired by the NEXTDOOR agreement, is actually the best choice. This depends on the current development of Coin Star, which has stalled before. know,"

Also, "It is said that NEXTDOOR has made more comprehensive preparations for this acquisition. Once announced, it will drive the stock price to rise sharply."

After yesterday afternoon, even Netflix employees who had no knowledge of NEXTDOOR originally checked the relevant news on the Internet and read the relevant reports in the newspaper. Up to now, they all have a detailed understanding of it.

The current situation of the company is very similar to the coin star before it was acquired by agreement, and the development has also stalled.

There are also different places.

And this different place is more deadly. Fortunately, no one competed with it at the time. For my company, there are two main competitors, and they are all more comprehensive The company's stronger opponent.

Up to now, the company's top executives have still not proposed any specific response strategies, as if just let it go, and then the competitors will disappear by themselves.

How can such an arrangement make people feel at ease?

And NEXTDOOR seems to have a complete solution. His Chinese boss, not only in Silicon Valley, but also in the entire business world in the United States, used a precise vision and was good at forward-looking and innovative means and methods. The problem is famous.

Their willingness to spend such a large price to acquire the company this time is a strong proof.

Then, it is naturally the best to be able to negotiate an acquisition.

However, looking at the current trend, it seems that the road of agreement acquisition is not working, and the main resistance comes from Mr. Hastings.

Mr. Hastings, why don't you agree? Many employees are expecting Hastings' explanation.

But at this time, Hastings completely ignored their voices. This morning, there was no communication with any employees, not even eye contact.

…………

Hastings walked to Randolph, oh no, when he is now in Wilson’s office, he habitually pauses for a while. At such times in the past, this office and the people in it were his main inquiries, even if In many cases, he did not provide advice, which would give himself a lot of psychological support.

But now, he looked at the nameplate on the door, and had no interest in pushing the door in at all.

But the people inside were interested. Wilson had obviously been paying attention to the movement outside, and opened the door at this time, "Hastings,"

"No, Wilson, not now," Hastings raised his right hand to swing, and walked quickly toward his office.

He is not in the mood to communicate with Wilson now.

Undoubtedly, and obviously not willing to communicate with himself, Hastings's attitude stung Wilson. No wonder he and Randolph, who has been with his partner for many years, ended up in such a field. This is indeed an extreme self. The guy in the center.

It was a miracle that Randolph could bear him for so many years.

Well, I actually want to remind you of some of the company's developments. Since you don't care, do I, a person who has just been here for a few days, still care?

What is annoying is that from the current situation, I seem to be looking for another home.

…………

"Mr. Hastings," the secretary stopped. Hastings also ignored him, handing her the briefcase in his hand, "Coffee,"

"But sir,"

It's no longer needed. Hastings has pushed open the door of his office, and immediately coughed up. "What's the matter?" He asked his secretary sharply.

"Mr. Randolph he...,"

"It's me." On the set of sofas with his back to the door, stood up alone. It was Randolph. He bent down and squeezed out the cigarette in his hand. "I'm here."

He looked haggard, tired, messy hair, bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Looking at the large pile of cigarette butts next to him, Hastings was about to open the window, and found that the one that could be opened was already open, "Why are you smoking again...," he frowned and walked to the desk and sat down.

"Please leave Mr. Randolph, notify the security department and take back his pass," he doesn't bother to talk to Randolph directly now.

"Give me a cup of coffee," Randolph pushed his secretary out the door, "Remember not to let anyone disturb us,"

"Mr. Hastings," his secretary called.

Hastings felt Randolph's abnormality and waved to the secretary. Like a pardoned secretary, he quickly closed the door of his office.

"Just say something, I'm very busy right now," Hastings called Wal-Mart's Gary without looking up. Now, he doesn't care about letting Randolph know this.

"Call Walmart?" Randolph said.

"How do you know?" Hastings who was dialing was startled.

"I know it naturally," Randolph said. "Give up Hastings," he persuaded.

"Give up? What do you know?" Hastings glanced at him with a sneer, the phone was connected, "Hi, Gary," he said, "As I said, the registration of Blue Ocean 2 means NEXTDOOR's The mandatory acquisition will officially begin. When will you take action?"

He frowned, "Is that so? Okay, I'll wait for your news,"

"There is no affirmative answer?" Randolph said, "Wake up Hastings, why would Wal-Mart bid with NEXTDOOR? Don't you understand? I think you come to the door, but it's just for them to watch and prepare Cheap opportunity,"

"Is that so? I think you will know the answer soon," Hastings said with a relaxed and calm expression.

In fact, the hidden worries in his heart that he didn't want to touch are already expanding.

"Buckle," the secretary knocked in, "sir, your coffee,"

She lowered her head carefully, put the coffee in front of the two founders with different looks, and then fled out likewise. The atmosphere in the office was too tense and depressing, and she was not used to it.

"Even if it's the same as you said, I don't think it makes any sense," Randolph said, holding the hot coffee.

Hastings simply didn't bother to pay attention to his crazy words, picked up the phone and notified the secretary, "Let the secretary of the board draft a statement that we reject any hostile takeover and notify the ministries..."

"Click," the phone was suddenly pressed off.

"What are you doing?" he angered.

Randolph shook his head. "Useless Hastings,"

"What are you talking about, what are you doing?" Hastings patted the table. "You go out by yourself, or should I call the security guard?"

Randolph went back and sat down, and he lit a cigarette in front of him, "You guessed it, last night, I didn't sleep all night, and came to the company at 3 in the morning. Here, right here,"

"I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't understand why it became the current situation, but there is one thing that cannot tolerate your objection. For your own good, Hastings...,"

At this moment, the door was knocked again, and Hastings’ secretary walked in carefully, "Mr. Hastings, secretary of the board, I have not been able to contact ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Can't contact? How is it possible!

Hastings glanced at Randolph, who was chattering over there, "I'll contact him."

"Then, do you still need to notify the heads of various departments to come to the meeting?" the secretary asked.

Hastings waved his hand impatiently, and the secretary waited, and immediately disappeared behind the door.

It wasn't that I couldn't get in touch. Listening to the "didi" over there, Hastings thought, but no one answered the phone.

At the third time, Hastings became angry and left an angry message, "I don't care where you are now, come to the company right away."

"Useless Hastings, don't you understand, you can't contact him, and he won't come to the company today," Randolph crushed the cigarette he had just smoked and walked to Haas At Tins’s desk, “Although I don’t want to do this, Hastings, for your best interest, you should resign and resign as chairman and CEO of the company’s board of directors.”
