Chapter 1150 The Final Effort

Seeing him walking to the table in deep thought, Cummins quickly pulled out a chair for him, "Oh, thank you," Feng Yiping finally came to his senses.

Nine domestic reporters watched it and cheered inwardly.

They have been in Silicon Valley these days and naturally have a comprehensive understanding of Feng Yiping's company. They are all aware of Mr. Cummins' resume. The former senior vice president of a well-known Wall Street investment bank is so respectful to Feng Yiping. It can be seen that Feng Yiping Prestige among these subordinates.

"Why do I feel like he has a subtle aura about him?" Reporter Yao whispered.

"It's been there a long time ago," several of them answered.

"Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work," Feng Yiping walked to Li Zhixiong and sat down. "I hope the arrangements over the past few days will make it worth your while," he said with a smile.

"It's absolutely worth it," everyone said almost in unison.

"I think other colleagues in the country do not have such an in-depth understanding of so many well-known companies in Silicon Valley and interview so many big figures like us." Reporter Yao, as the only woman, always has the priority to speak on such occasions, " It was such an unexpected surprise,”

"So we want to thank you, Mr. Feng," Li Zhixiong and the others raised their glasses.

Feng Yiping never lets people down. These reporters came to the United States at the invitation of the company, but their previous exclusive interview obviously failed to achieve the goal. Judging from the effect, it can be said that it is not even worth the ticket price.

So in the past few days in Silicon Valley, he arranged for nine of them to interview several well-known companies in Silicon Valley. The first one was naturally Apple, followed by Google, HP, and Cisco.

When companies come forward to contact us, they have dedicated personnel to receive them. It can be said that to date, domestic media have received the most comprehensive reception when they come to Silicon Valley for interviews.

"Just call me by name," Feng Yiping raised his glass. "It's good to have something to gain, otherwise I'm really worried that your business trip will affect the assessment. I'm also very grateful to you for coming from afar. I hope you can write more articles." A manuscript that satisfies the supervisor,”

"As for wine, drink as much as you can. If you can't drink, eat more vegetables. I can't drink, so I can't guarantee that you drink well, but I must let everyone eat well."

"I forgot to ask, have you bought all the gifts you want to take home? Do you want my help?"

"This richest man, Feng, is completely different from the legendary one who is unkind to reporters," all nine of them thought.

"Mr. Feng, this follow-up visit is also on your home court. Is there any good news that will be disclosed during this period?" Li Zhixiong asked.

This is also a domestic practice. The companies selected by relevant departments for follow-up generally have business in the country being visited, or are willing to develop business in the country being visited.

The companies that follow up will naturally try their best to arrange signing ceremonies for some cooperation projects that are on the table during this period.

For example, this is especially true for the country's own sons and state-owned enterprises that require more leadership attention. Of course, under normal circumstances, their preparation time will be longer.

However, this time it was really unfortunate that there was really no good news.

"You are really well-informed," Feng Yiping smiled, "but this time, you really are not."

If it really needs to be done, it's not impossible. Although Netflix probably won't be able to handle it by then, it can be done by putting YouTube, which has been prepared, online in advance.

However, it’s really hard to get this website online before Netflix figures it out.

"Feng," Cummins asked Amelia. After knowing what they were talking about, he reminded, "Maybe IMDB can?"

It seems that businessmen here in the United States are very familiar with similar tasks.

"That, it doesn't seem to have enough weight," that's just IMDB, if they invest in Amazon, it will have some weight.

Speaking of which, it is also Feng Yiping's fault that they did not pay enough attention to relevant news, were not sensitive enough, or were inexperienced.

Such a visit takes a long time to arrange. This visit should have been arranged when the new leadership took office. There must have been rumors before.

If they are sensitive enough in this regard, they will have made relevant predictions beforehand. There is a high chance that the leader will follow up on this visit, and then there will be more time to make relevant preparations. At least Early next month, they will certainly have something in place to deserve this visit.

Randolph was invited to a bar near the company after get off work.

The bar is not very eye-catching. There are only a few bars in the small town of Los Gatos. This bar can be said to be the old place of the two of them. They often come here to sit in their spare time. Sometimes they come here when they are tired from work. Change your mind.

This bar can also be said to be a witness, witnessing him and Hastings from partners to friends, and also witnessing the ups and downs and growth of Netflix.

"Hi, Randolph," the guy behind the bar greeted him proactively, "You haven't been here for a few days? Is the company too busy?"

Randolph nodded.

"Still the same?"

Randolph nodded again. He was really not in the mood to chat with anyone right now.

After receiving a bottle of beer and seeing that there was no one at their seat, he went to the small table football table and played a few games until someone tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Hi,"

Hastings stood behind him with his cell phone, pushing him towards the seat, gesturing towards the bar and saying silently, "A bottle of beer."

"Okay, nice to see you tomorrow at noon," he said into the phone, "Goodbye,"

"A friend," Hastings volunteered to explain to Randolph.

Leaning on the soft but somewhat old sofa in the bar, "It's been a while since I've been here, how about you?"

Also starting from this summer, he didn't have so much leisure time.

"Come here once or twice," Randolph said.

"Do you still remember the past, when I came here to have a drink after working overtime at the company? It felt so satisfying," Hastings said with emotion.

"At that time, your little Charlie was still learning English. I went to your house yesterday and saw that he was already so tall."

Randolph was also a little emotional, wasn't he? Over the years, they had grown up together with Netflix. He and Hastings had left a lot of memories between the two people and the two families.

"Wait a minute," Hastings took out his phone, "I remember there are still photos in it,"

He actually pulled out a photo from inside. It was a photo taken by a colleague of the two of them wearing San Francisco 49ers uniforms while watching their football game in this bar.

In the photo, the two of them were drinking and their faces were red. They imitated the movements of rugby players, jumped in the air and collided with each other, laughed heartily, and looked very intimate.

"Come on," he picked up the beer bottle and touched it with Randolph. "We will come here to watch the Super Bowl next year, too."

Randolph was also a little emotional.

If CCTV's Zhu Jun saw this scene, he would definitely be very pleased. It turns out that my "Art Life" has such a big audience in Silicon Valley, and he uses all the methods that can be used in the program so purely. Genus.

In the Art of Life program, he made the interviewer shed tears and used similar methods. He first made some affectionate memories, then talked about his family and looked at photos...

"Hastings," Randolph said proactively, "can you give some serious thought to the proposal over there?"

"I have thought a lot these days and found that from all aspects, there is really no need to refuse such a good opportunity that will allow our company to develop faster,"

"I've been thinking a lot," Hastings said, "remembering a lot of things we've done along the way. Do you remember, man, when we first started, we didn't even dare to lay off employees, and we didn't know how to. I think that’s too cruel, like tearing one’s face apart, and it’s also a denial of ourselves,”

"It wasn't until Blockbuster rejected the acquisition that we figured out the problem. The company needs to do the right thing. This is not selfish, but to protect the company. We founded this company and we should be responsible for this company,"

"We have to take it to where we originally wanted it to go, but Randolph, after being acquired, can we still control the direction of the company's development?"

"I believe it will. Feng must have promised you that after the acquisition, including other resources to be injected, we will operate them uniformly," Randolph said. "We can formally add this to the acquisition agreement,"

"The clearer his plan is, the less autonomy we have at that point," Hastings said. He feels that the differences between himself and Randolph on this point are getting bigger and bigger.

Randolph shook his head. He now fully understood what Hastings was thinking. "Just like you said, we founded this company to be responsible for this company, not to be responsible for a certain person."

Anger gathered in Hastings's eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end. He put the beer bottle on the table, got up and left expressionlessly.

ps: The number of recommendation votes is really sad to see. I really need everyone’s support. Thank you!
