Chapter 1133 A Critical Step

When someone like Cummins deliberately caters to someone, it will naturally be a success. In less than five minutes, Randolph and them hit it off.

"Since you live in Silicon Valley, you must have used our services," Randolph said, "You must have rented DVDs online, right? I work at Netflix,"

This is not because he is blindly confident, but in Silicon Valley, where he started, Netflix's business is indeed very popular.

"So you are at Netflix? What a coincidence," Cummins glanced at Emilia.

"You know?" Randolph couldn't help but feel a little complacent when he saw them like this.

"Yes, of course we know, and we have used it," Cummins said, "Your company's online DVD rental business is very convenient, fast, and cost-effective,"

"Haha," Randolph's mood became a little brighter. Just for the support of these people, his hard work over the years has not been in vain.

"Your idea is really genius," Emilia smiled sweetly, and any man who saw this smile would instantly be full of energy.

"It's nothing, but since we are in Silicon Valley, we have to think about things in the Silicon Valley way. Hastings and I..."

In the eyes of Emilia who admired him and Cummings who was very interested, Randolph happily talked about the history of revolutionaries for a while.

But he was not vain or impetuous. Even in front of these two strangers, he always put himself behind Hastings.

Especially under the gaze of a beautiful woman, he still insisted on not putting himself as the protagonist, which was really rare.

"I have to admit that Silicon Valley elites like you have a very different perspective and way of solving problems from traditional elites in the East," Cummins said, "Maybe this is it,"

"Silicon Valley thinking," Randolph said, "We pay more attention to the application and breakthrough of technology. The East, because of its resource advantages, is not likely to rely on or pin its hopes on these technical means. Mr. Cummins comes from Wall Street and naturally knows this."

"You are right," Cummins said, "When we operate a project, we should maximize our own advantages. This is also a reasonable and normal choice."

"Yes, just like people, many business decisions are also closely related to the environment."

"But I heard someone say another reason," Cummins said, "He said, inferior Sometimes, the trend is actually an advantage. It is precisely because some industries and sectors in the west are not as mature and flawless as those in the developed east that many huge opportunities for using mobile Internet to promote their improvement have been created. "

The statement relayed by Cummins is relatively novel. If he had studied the Analects, Randolph would definitely say that when three people walk together, there must be one who can teach me. He put away his relaxed look and was still savoring Cummins' words. Cummins smiled and continued, "Any new technology is more likely to be embraced in emerging markets, so it is easier to apply new technologies when starting a business in the west."

Randolph smacked his lips for a while, "Your boss's words are really interesting. By the way, which company are you from?"

"Mr. Randolph, you should have used our company's services," Emilia said.

"Oh, you don't know what your company is? Wait, let me guess," Even if you don't have any ideas, beautiful women, talking to her a few more words always makes people feel happier.

"Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Google?"

It must be said that his words really made the listeners unhappy.

"We are NEXTDOOR," Emilia really didn't want him to guess any more. If he continued to guess, everyone would be embarrassed.

"Oh, sorry, that's our current star company in Silicon Valley. My wife is a loyal user of NEXTDOOR," Randolph was somewhat embarrassed, "So your boss is Yiping Feng, no wonder they can say such thought-provoking words,"

"But my guess is not bad, Feng is also a major shareholder of Google,"

"Yes, Silicon Valley is really not big," Cummins said, "In fact, we have dealt with Netflix, haven't we?"

"With us?" Randolph thought for a while.

"It seems that your company is also interested in Redbox," Emilia said.

Being asked this by a beautiful woman, Randolph couldn't help but blush, "That was really the company's decision, there was no targeting,"

"I understand," Cummins said, changing the subject, "Speaking of which, Feng admires Netflix very much, and appreciates the ability of your team very much, and is very optimistic about your industry,"

"Thank you," Randolph suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and it was really pleasant to chat with Cummins and others, "Your company's group purchase and Coin Star's consumer coupons have improved our business a lot, and I really have to thank you,"

"Haha, this is a mutually beneficial thing," Cummins smiled, "But we are still very happy to hear you say that. Hastings didn't mention these when he met us,"

"Of course, this can't be blamed on him," Cummins said.

"We are a normal business cooperation, there is no question of who should thank whom," Emilia said.

Although Randolph was already a little alert, wait, Hastings met with them?

But hearing Amelia say this, she was still a little embarrassed, "I'm sure Hastings is still grateful, but sometimes it's due to business reasons. For example, we definitely look forward to working with your company again." There was an opportunity for cooperation, so there were some things he didn’t say,”

No matter what, in front of outsiders, a partner is still a partner. No matter how many opinions he has about Hastings in his heart, he still has to defend Hastings.

"Randolph," her wife came over at this time, "Who are these two?"

"Corporate partners, Ms. Cummins and Emilia of NEXTDOOR whom you regularly visit,"

"Hello Mrs. Randolph, thank you for your support of our website. Here is my business card. If you have any comments about our website, you are welcome to call me anytime," Cummins handed her a business card.

"It's an honor to meet you," Randolph's wife was really happy, "I like all the services on the NEXTDOOR website. Unfortunately, this time in the annual game competition, I only entered the top 100 in the country and failed to win the final. We have always been interested in China and hope to travel there,"

"There are still opportunities," Cummins said. "Similar activities happen every year, and there will be new ones in the future."

Although Randolph had a smile on his face now, he actually looked a bit out of place for a long time. Hastings had met them before, had he met that Feng? And it seemed like more than once, what on earth did they talk about? Why didn't he tell himself?

"Honey, it's time for us to go home,"

His wife was getting more and more talkative at the moment, "I feel more and more inseparable from NEXTDOOR. I'm looking forward to the new features you will launch. Can you reveal this in a secret way?"

"We are really not responsible for this in the company, and we really don't know," Cummins said. "But don't worry, there will definitely be more and more functions, and they will get better and better."

"That's good," Randolph's wife suddenly remembered something, "Randolph, isn't Netflix going to promote it on the website? I think NEXTDOR is a very good platform, what do you think?"

NEXTDOOR has begun advertising heavily, but for housewives like Randolph's wife, it brings more than just inconvenience.

Because of the strict requirements, the most important thing is that during the long period of operation of the website, it has collected statistics on many users' hobbies and usage habits, as well as other information. The simplest ones, such as whether you have cats or dogs at home?

We have been able to initially achieve precise placement, and many of the ads placed on the website can really help them.

"This is definitely a good choice," Randolph said with a smile, holding his wife's hand with a little more force. His wife really shouldn't be involved in the company's affairs, "I will definitely suggest it to the company. I'm glad to meet you." It was a pleasure communicating with you two, and I look forward to the opportunity for us to meet again! ”

"I look forward to the opportunity for us to work together again. Goodbye, Mr. Randolph," Cummins said with a hint of contentment. "Feng must also hope to meet you. What he appreciates most is a down-to-earth and hard-working person like you."

"Goodbye," Randolph was a little wary now. It was obvious that these two people should not meet him casually, but why were they so enthusiastic?

"I think he must have become suspicious and felt something was wrong," Amelia said, watching Randolph leave in a hurry.

"It doesn't matter if you have doubts. The showdown is imminent anyway," Cummins said. "And getting Randolph's support is a critical step in our plan."

ps: There is really no way to help my son with his homework. I want to talk about the tickets. This is really embarrassing. Please ask. No one responded. It’s embarrassing. But don’t ask. People may think I don’t need it. The number is embarrassing. I feel embarrassed, so after thinking about it, I’d better ask for it once. Anyway, I rarely ask for votes, so I just say recommendation votes. Well, recommendation votes are given every day, and they will be invalid if you keep them. If you think I work hard enough, my writing can still be accepted by you. Eyes, then feel free to vote for me, thank you!
