Chapter 1187 Following
Seeing Randolph sitting in his seat and staring out the window, Feng Yiping was really happy. If this matter developed so smoothly, Randolph naturally took the greatest credit.
It was really just a matter of not taking action, but once he did, everything turned upside down, and even Hastings was knocked off his horse.
It is estimated that in the eyes of those at Netflix, this kind of thing has overturned their world view to a certain extent. It turns out that the good-natured man who always stood behind the charming Hastings and rarely showed his face turned out to be... There is so much energy!
So when it comes to partners, if you get along well, you are a good helper; if you don't get along well, you may be a big opponent.
After lying dormant for so many years, he finally became the overall person in charge of the company he founded. However, at this time, Randolph did not look high-spirited or smug, but rather a little lonely.
Just sitting there looking out the window, everyone who saw him knew that he was a man with a lot of things on his mind. No one would have thought that he had just launched a coup, and now he has become a company with a market value of more than Chairman and CEO of a $2 billion Nasdaq-listed company.
However, Feng Yiping happened to feel very comforted when he saw Randolph like this. If Randolph looked happy at this time, he would be a little disappointed.
The superiors are so contradictory.
On the one hand, he naturally welcomes such a big change that Randolph has made that is beneficial to him, but on the other hand, he will subconsciously maintain some reservations about people like Randolph who want to overthrow his partners who have worked with him for many years. distance.
Who knows if you will treat me like this in the future?
To put it bluntly, for many people at the top of the food chain, the most important thing for them is loyalty! This comes first.
Others, such as abilities, are actually secondary. Even if they are inferior, there are always ways to make up for it.
Loyalty is the only thing that cannot be taken lightly.
But a caring subordinate who is not loyal is a double-edged sword. Not only can he hurt others according to his own arrangements, but he can also hurt himself in turn.
If Randolph seems to have no psychological burden at this time, then Feng Yiping will inevitably have to spare him a hand in the future.
While it may be emotionally difficult to accept, that’s just the way it goes.
…………
It wasn't until Feng Yiping walked in and said "Hi" that Randolph raised his head.
"Feng," he looked at Feng Yiping with complicated eyes, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Feng Yiping, but Feng Yiping hugged him firmly and patted him twice on the back, "Hello, buddy!"
"Hello Feng, haha, your experience in the past two days really makes me envious. Being received by the leaders of two countries at the White House at the same time is a treatment that only very, very few people can have."
"Do you still know the reason for this? If it weren't for you, how could I have been so taken seriously these two days?"
Feng Yiping casually ordered two things on the menu, waited for the waiter to go away, looked at Randolph seriously and said, "Randolph, although I know that you have no choice but to do this, I believe that for you, in the end, it will be like this The decision is very difficult and will carry a heavy burden,"
"But believe me, it won't be long before you will truly realize that your choice is very correct. It is right for Netflix, it is right for you, and it is also right for Hastings,"
Randolph felt a little sad, "Yes, I have been saying this to myself these days, but do you know Feng, I don't even want to go home these days, Julia, she is my wife,"
"Is your wife happy?"
Randolph smiled helplessly, "Yes, Julia is very happy these days. You know, because she has to take care of her family, she didn't go to work. Maybe because of this reason, she placed a lot of her expectations for work on me. , she’s very happy that I’m the head of Netflix,”
"She's even planning a party to celebrate,"
"This is human nature Randolph, it's normal. Remember to invite me when the time comes,"
When we were in feudal society, we adhered to the principle that the husband was the guide for the wife. In fact, in the United States now, judging from some external things, it sometimes seems that the husband is the wife's destiny.
For full-time housewives like Julia and others, their husband's achievements are their achievements.
From a deputy to a fully responsible leader, such a thing is certainly worthy of celebration. It is worthy of inviting friends from the book club, equestrian club, SPA club, etc., as well as neighbors in the community to come to your home to celebrate. .
"Everything else is fine. I will never let her hold this party," Randolph said firmly.
It is difficult for Feng Yiping to get involved in matters between husband and wife. "However, on the day when the acquisition is officially approved, I want to hold a grand party. I hope you can bring your wife to attend."
Randolph was a little hopeful again, "It seems that if everything goes well, the party can be held in January next year."
"I think it won't be later than February at the latest," Feng Yiping looked very optimistic. "Maybe we can hold a theme party on Valentine's Day?"
In the United States, such a theme is always cooler than a serious celebration meeting held for a company, and will be more popular among employees.
"That's pretty good," Randolph agreed.
"You know Randolph, when faced with a historic opportunity, in the face of some major changes, some of us will appear slow and reluctant to make changes. Often at this time, we need those of us Some people stepped up,"
"It is very possible that in order to welcome such opportunities and changes, some obstacles on the road must be removed. It is possible that some of those obstacles are people very close to us,"
"But if we can take a longer view and not be limited to this short period of time, we will eventually find that we will never regret our original actions,"
"On the contrary, those who did not understand at the beginning will eventually understand that what we did was very correct and very timely,"
Seeing that Randolph was still a little depressed, Feng Yiping had no choice but to comfort him like this.
Randolph looked at Feng Yiping, and seemed to be looking behind Feng Yiping, "Of course I believe this, but Feng, there is a problem. I hope you can understand, because even Julia doesn't understand this,"
"you say,"
"I know myself very well." Randolph seemed to look past Feng Yiping again and looked behind him. "I actually don't have the qualities to lead a company forward, and I don't want to talk about my vision. Of course, in the future, you will be the problem. Not big,”
"But I'm not decisive enough, as you know. I could have done this thing a long time ago, but I delayed it until the last moment when I decided to do it."
"I'm not cold enough. If you put a layoff list in front of me in the future, I think it will be difficult for me to sign..."
"On these points, I think you should understand that I am really not the right person to be in charge of Netflix. Maybe I have become accustomed to it after so many years. I know that I am more suitable to be in an auxiliary position, providing support to the person in charge. "Providing some reference opinions, that's what I'm good at, making decisions," he shook his head, "That's really not my strong point,"
This is really an honest person, but he is right, not everyone is suitable to be that tall man when the sky is about to collapse.
"Randolph, we all think we know ourselves best, but many times, we fail to discover our potential. Believe me, you have such potential. You have not done a very good job presiding over the merger negotiations between Netflix and NEXTDOOR." ?”
"Didn't you handle all the troubles after reaching the merger agreement in a tight and orderly manner? You can do these well, what else can't you do well?"
In any case, one thing is certain. If the person in charge of Netflix has been changed once before the merger and acquisition, it is impossible to change it again immediately after the merger and acquisition.
"Perhaps I have done a good job in these things, but Feng, these things are all within a defined framework, with a clear direction, and there are many examples for reference,"
"Feng, I remember you said at the beginning that you had considered Hastings' relationship with me. So, is there a possibility that after all this is over, he will come back to be in charge of the new Netflix? "
Feng Yiping was stunned.
This Randolph is really a rare person among businessmen who values emotions and is really sensible.
"We'll talk about this later. The most important thing for us now is to work hard to handle everything properly." Feng Yiping walked out with him, seeming to think of something, "By the way, the man wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap just now, Is it Hastings?”
"So you noticed it too," Randolph smiled bitterly, "Yes,"
