Chapter 653

Los gatu, California, USA.

Time: 9:00 a.m. on January 31.

The private plane "Lola" slowly landed at the airport, and Zhuke and his party got off the plane and boarded a fleet of ten luxury cars.

In fact, there are only 8 people who really accompany Zhuke. They can't use 10 cars at all. However, most of the car costs are for the accompanying security personnel.

Under the influence of 9 / 11 terrorist attacks, more than hundreds of armed attacks have occurred in various states of the United States in recent months.

In Free America, every day.

This is absolutely not empty talk!

Zhuke students on their own life, that is called a cherish!

"Alexander, do you know the name of this celebration of Netflix?"

Asked Zucker in the car.

Alexander nodded back and said, "I'm not here to eat dry food when I arrive in dalosgatu one day early. Netflix held this large-scale celebration, which is nominally "celebrating that Netflix has more than 500000 subscribers". However, I found that there was another purpose in it after many investigations. "

"Eh?"

As soon as he heard this, he was immediately interested.

Zhu Ke smile: "you talk about it?"

"Toshiba!" Alexander said in a deep voice

"According to my survey results, Toshiba, a Japanese electronics giant, is about to sign a strategic partnership agreement with Nafi."

As the voice fell, Zhuke suddenly realized: "I see. I said how could Nafei's action be so big this time!"

Toshiba group, one of the largest electronics giants in Japan, is also famous around the world. But... It did not achieve the point of seeking defeat alone!

Toshiba's nemesis, that's Sony Group!

Sony is also a giant in the TV industry, even slightly better than Toshiba group.

A few days ago, however, Sony Group made a stir in Hollywood, winning over many small and medium-sized Hollywood film companies in succession, winning over thousands of film copyrights at one stroke with high checks; In addition, it also led the establishment of the "founder of Blu ray Disc" alliance, an interest group whose main purpose is to develop the next generation of New DVD format, so as to achieve the purpose of monopolizing the sales of DVD players.

The ambition of Sony Group is obvious

How can Toshiba wait to die?

As a result, blockbuster, an offline DVD sales and leasing giant with more than 9000 stores, more than 60000 employees and a market value of more than 35 billion US dollars, has become the most important target of Toshiba group.

However, the parent company of blockbuster is Viacom group.

The boss of Viacom group is leishidong.

Lei Shidong is such a cunning guy. He won't get involved in the war between Sony and Toshiba without huge interests.

It's not surprising that Toshiba group has taken aim at Nafi in the same industry!

"I see."

Zhuke couldn't help laughing: "Toshiba group has a lot of foresight. Their choice of Netflix can really bring them more market share."

Alexander echoed: "boss is right. Netflix, as a new online DVD rental company, has more than 500000 subscribers. Although it is far less than 25 million subscribers of blockbuster, Netflix is also the first online rental company

"Nafi needs more allies, and Toshiba also needs more dumpers. The combination of the two is definitely more beneficial than harmful."

The voice fell.

Zhu Ke nodded frequently and said bitterly, "in this way, it's more difficult for me to take a stake in Nafi."

Alexander: "I'm not sure."

Zhuke's attention to Nafi, the future streaming media empire, is not a day or two. It can be said that he is thinking about it~

......

Netflix.

"Is the contract signed?"

This is a topic of concern to Nafi shareholders.

"Of course!"

Reid Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, said: "just this morning, we formally signed a cooperation agreement with Toshiba group. Toshiba group will grant us more than 2000 film copyrights, so that the number of our Nafi films will exceed 20000 at one stroke. "

"And it's only now!"

"It's the first step!"

"As Toshiba group continues to negotiate with major Hollywood film companies, I believe that it will not be long before Toshiba group will provide us with 2000, 3000, 5000 films again, or even an endless stream of them. At that time, the number of films we can rent to customers will expand again! "

The voice just dropped.

All the shareholders and shareholders' representatives on the scene were boiling.

"Great

"With more kinds of movies, we can absorb more users, not to mention surpassing blockbuster, but we can definitely narrow the gap."

Danon West said.

He is one of Nafi's shareholder representatives, representing the Bank of England's Barclays.

All right~

There is a big gap between the bank and Zucker.

Before the Internet bubble in early 2000, Zuker made a huge loss of many Internet companies, which made Barclays Bank suffer huge losses.

Then there was the digging incident in 2001!

Zucker's starship technology company in Europe was maliciously poached by the Bank of Barclays, which poached a large number of key personnel and even the CEO.

Zucker was angry and took him to the International Court of justice.

Today, this international lawsuit involving "non competition agreement" has lasted for 10 months, but it still can not be concluded. Moreover, judging from the situation, it is estimated that it will not be completed in another year.

"I've confirmed that this guy, jock Wald, has arrived in Los gatu and apparently accepted our invitation. Tut Tut, this time I'll kill him for anything I say. "

Said Danon West, full of banter.

"Hum!"

CEO reed Hastings gave out a cold hum and said rather discontentedly, "the guests are the guests. West has gone too far in doing so."

Reed Hastings is the founder of Netflix. Although he opposes Zhuke's share in Netflix, he doesn't want to be hostile to Zhuke. Even, he hopes to make friends with Zhuke and win more development opportunities for Nafi.

The invitation letter sent to Zhuke is the proposal of reed Hastings.

He wants to have a good relationship with Zucker.

However... Things don't develop as he expected.

"Reed, you exaggerate, and you're a little timid!"

Danon West said.

"That's right!"

George Smith, the representative of shareholders, echoed: "don't make that guy too mythical. He is very rich. But to put it bluntly, he is still just a kid in his 20s. What are we afraid of him for? With the cooperation of Toshiba group, we don't need any help from Zucker Wald! "

The voice fell.

Danon West and George Smith look at each other and smile.

Danon West represents the Bank of England;

George Smith represents BlackRock group of America;

BlackRock group, also known as "BlackRock group", sounds similar to Blackstone Group, another company. In fact, both companies are big companies. BlackRock group is one of the largest listed investment management groups in the United States of America, providing services to global customers through its offices in the United States, Europe and Asia.

In 2009, BlackRock group also successfully acquired Merrill Lynch, one of the "top five Wall Street investment banks".

The proportion of shares held by the bank is more than 20%;

BlackRock group shares accounted for more than 8% of Naifei;

Led by representatives of shareholders of two companies, even Reid Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, is sometimes overwhelmed by them, suppressing his voice in many ways.

"I repeat, it's me who invited Mr. Zucker Wald, and it's in the name of the company, and I don't want to see anyone harboring malice against Mr. Wald. Remember, I'm the CEO of Naifei! "

Reed Hastings looked coldly at Danon West and George Smith.

"The first watch" is presented.
