Chapter 422

Reed Hastings of Netflix?

"Alexander, I don't think I have anything in common with him?" Asked juke, sitting on the sofa.

"Yes, boss, whether it's Reed Hastings himself, Nafi or even any shareholder of Nafi, you don't know the boss, and you don't have any communication." Alexander responded.

Juke nodded, grinned and said, "you let him in."

"Eh? Well. "

Alexander was stunned at once, but he soon responded.

In his impression, Nai Fei is just a company that provides online DVD leasing. Its overall value is worth more than $130 million, especially by the Internet bubble.

Netflix's losses in the first half of 2000 exceeded $45 million.

The situation is very serious~

Alexander has seen too many such companies.

"I don't know how boss is interested in Netflix?" Alexander muttered to himself.

The vast majority of people will not understand, but... Who let Zhuke classmate is a passer-by?!

Disney group, right?

In 2018, Niubi will acquire 20th century fox, one of the six largest Hollywood companies, with an overall market value of more than $200 billion.

But... In 2018, Nafi will surpass Disney group!

........

"Hello, Mr. Wald. I'm reed Hastings from Netflix. It's a great honor to meet you!"

Reed Hastings, who has just entered Zhuke's office, is very polite and has no usual arrogance.

Yes, reed Hastings is a bit arrogant and has a bad temper.

But here, does he dare?

To be respectful is his choice.

Juke took a look at De Hastings and said, "our time is precious. Tell us what you're coming for, sir."

"All right!"

Hearing the speech, reed Hastings solemnly said: "Mr. Wald, your Wald film company now owns a film copyright library with more than 2000 films. With all due respect, apart from the films produced by your company, they are quite popular in the market, but what about other films? "

"Well, more than 2000 film copyrights of your company are acquired through acquisition, which can be described as uneven. It can even be said that the vast majority of films fail to release videos and DVDs offline."

"It's a huge loss for your company!"

"The purpose of my coming here is to win the offline distribution right and distribution right of this part of the film."

The voice fell.

Zhuke: "the..."

Alexander is a flash in the eye, he thinks reed Hastings' suggestion, very good!

First of all, understand a little!

Blockbuster, the largest offline DVD and video distributor and renter in the United States and the world, undertakes the distribution and leasing of films according to one principle, that is, they mainly focus on popular films.

Most of all, it will be shown in the cinema market!

In other words, more than half of the films produced by major film companies in the United States each year fail to enter the cinema market, and even more than 35% of the films do not even have the qualification to produce video tapes and DVDs.

"Alexander, how many films in our Wald film library have not been released offline?" Asked juke, turning his head.

Alexander thought for a moment, then whispered to Zucker: "boss, there are at least more than 1500 films in the library, and there are no offline sales."

More than 1500 units?!

I have to say that the quality of Wald pictures' film library is really bad enough!

To be exact, the quality of Wald's film library is one of the worst in Hollywood. More than 1500 films that have not been released and sold offline are just rubbish.

"Mr. Wald, Mr. Alexander, I come with the sincerity of Nafi. We are willing to take over this part of film resources and push them all to the offline market. " Said reed Hastings.

Alexandria is a little excited.

After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's a piece of meat.

1500 films that have not been released and sold offline can be completely recycled. Naturally, it's too late to be happy.

But he shook his head!

"Sorry, I refuse!"

A stone stirs a thousand waves~

At the end of the speech, reed Hastings' confident face suddenly disappeared and turned into astonishment and disbelief.

"Why?" Reed Hastings sprang up from his seat and asked in a loud voice.

"Do I need to tell you why?" he whispered

Reed Hastings's pupils shrunk and he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

At this moment, Alexander, as a spectator, was full of doubts.

Refuse?

Isn't it obvious that money doesn't work?

Alexander followed Zhuke for quite a long time. He knew Zhuke very well. He knew that Zhuke was the master of a piece of meat no matter how small the mosquito was.

"Boss, how can you refuse?" He didn't think about it for the time being.

At the moment, reed Hastings is a bit depressed. He can't figure out what he is sure of. How can he talk?

Zhuke suddenly said: "Mr. Hastings, the film library copyright of Wald pictures, I'm sorry that we can't reach a cooperation, but I'm interested in taking a stake in your company Netflix. I don't know if I have the honor?"

“.......”

Reed Hastings was stunned.

If he can't cooperate, he should take a stake in Nafi. He has some difficulty understanding Zhuke's brain circuit.

Netflix, one of the world's largest streaming media giants in the future, owns more than 100000 film copyrights, and its self-made "house of cards" TV series is even more popular all over the world.

Moreover, the Film Association (film review and classification) committee, which symbolizes the supreme status of Hollywood films, will also win a seat in 2012.

You know, seats are good things. They are the private plots of the big six in Hollywood and MGM, which other film and television companies dream of and can't get.

"Shares?"

Reid Hastings immediately laughed: "for Mr. Ward, you are a shareholder in Nai Fei, I personally welcome you, but you know, I am a founder, but the company has the final say in the stock market."

Zucker understood very well.

Reed Hastings is the founder of Nafi, but after several rounds of share expansion, his share proportion has been diluted to only 10%.

In 2020, he only has more than 1% shares in Nafi.

Of course, this is very common in Listed Companies in the United States. Not all of them are Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, who can hold a lot of shares.

.......

The next day.

Zhuke received the news that the board of directors of Nafi refused to accept Zhuke's shares and investment.

The second watch of the book is delivered, and the author continues to open the code.
