Chapter 1283 A Brand New Future

Ma Ling also left the conference room unhappy that some good things had been interrupted, but Feng Yiping had a small worry.

Do you think that Susan, a radical feminist activist who is so naive to the point of being naive, might think that she is a guy who relies on his status as a boss to take advantage of beautiful female employees because of the scene she just saw? Complain to the relevant agencies?

Just before the next person reported to work, the mobile phone rang. When it was picked up, it was Susan calling, "Mr. Feng, the time to speak to the employees is set at 11 o'clock. Do you have any opinions?"

Although she chose to call instead of coming in and telling her face to face about it again, her voice didn't seem to treat her like a **.

It seemed that she was a little too nervous. The scene just now was the privacy of herself and Ma Ling. Susan didn't know her personal situation. In this way, this matter would not bring any consequences. She was really scared. Own?

However, who calls himself sensitive on this matter? In the final analysis, I still feel guilty!

"Ok, no problem,"

…………

At 11 o'clock sharp, employees from various departments at Netflix's headquarters, except for those on duty who must stay, gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the main building, where they will meet the company's new boss for the first time.

The main creators of Youtube are also among them.

Ma Ling was a little excited and looking forward to it. Although she had already seen Feng Yiping easily take down her father's old friend who had high self-esteem, this would be her first time to see Feng Yiping's style in the company. .

In front of the front desk on the first floor, there is a table about half a meter high, covered with red velvet cloth, and a lecture platform wide for one person is placed on it.

In everyone's expectant eyes, Feng Yiping, who was wearing a well-fitting blue suit but no tie, was energetic and handsome, followed Randolph, and Shi Shiran walked out of the elevator with a smile on his face that filled the lobby on the first floor. Full of employees waving.

He was greeted with warm applause.

Netflix also has a majority of young people, and Feng Yiping has long been the idol of many young people, especially after the promotion of Oprah's talk show.

"Everyone, be quiet." Randolph patted the microphone. "It seems you don't need me to introduce you. Everyone knows Feng's identity."

"Haha," many employees laughed.

"Everyone knows that yesterday, our Netflix embarked on a new journey. I also know that everyone has expectations and may also be worried about this new journey that has just begun. I also know that after listening to the following After the speech, we will all find that those concerns we had about our competitors will no longer be an issue."

This guy also gave a lot of spoilers.

"Then, let us welcome the company's new chairman, Mr. Yiping Feng, and introduce to everyone his plans for the company's future,"

"Thank you, everyone." Feng Yiping picked up the microphone on the podium and stood behind him to speak. This was not his style.

"First of all, I have to say that I am very happy to stand with you today as a colleague, because a few years ago, I liked Netflix very much. After several years of hard work, especially in the past Today, after a year and a lot of hard work, I finally get to work with all these great colleagues here,"

"At this moment, I really feel that after all the hardships, I can finally get married to the girl I love. I am excited and excited, and I am full of infinite longing for the future."

His metaphor was very unique, and without leaving any trace, he praised all the Netflix employees. In addition to applause, some employees below were already whistling happily.

It's so relaxing in these tie-less situations in the United States.

"I like Netflix because I like movies, and Netflix's service makes movie night a daily entertainment activity in my life,"

"My choices are also wider. I am really satisfied with the movies recommended by the website based on my personal hobbies. Such personalized services cannot be provided by traditional DVD rental stores, including the so-called 70% of Americans. They all live within a 10-minute drive of their store,”

"Haha," everyone laughed again. The store Feng Yiping was talking about was naturally Netflix's rival, Blockbuster.

On such an occasion, mentioning this mortal enemy is obviously the most effective way to shorten the distance between them.

Everyone knows that no matter how convenient a traditional DVD rental store is, its selection is still very limited. You can usually only find the latest movies there that have ranked in the top 20 box office after release - because only these movies will be produced. Widely released on DVD.

Even these, six months after their release, you can hardly find them in DVD rental stores anymore.

On Netflix’s website, there are more than 5,000 movies for you to choose from at any time.

This is also the point that Netflix people are most proud of. What Feng Yiping said just hit everyone’s nerves.

"So it can be said that Netflix is ​​a disruptive company," Feng Yiping said again what everyone likes to hear.

These young people present are all typical Americans. They like to engage in cool and subversive jobs.

"Personally, I especially like subversion." He held the microphone and walked back and forth on the less than three-meter-long stage, looking at the people present with a smile. "So, I like Netflix, and I like you. ,"

"We like you too," the audience shouted one after another.

Ma Ling was a little intoxicated as he watched Feng Yiping perform freely on the stage, easily controlling the whole place and stirring up the atmosphere.

This guy can achieve success just by giving speeches.

"But," Feng Yiping changed the subject and his face became serious, "It is precisely because I like Netflix and everyone that I gradually become more and more worried about Netflix,"

This transition was not abrupt. Of course, you will only care about something you like and then worry about it.

"I found that Netflix has become more and more like a traditional company since its founding, rather than the technology company it claimed to be at the beginning,"

"I think everyone knows that as of the end of last year, our high-tech company has more than 1.5 million subscribers, which is actually mainly based on the low-tech delivery system founded by Benjamin Franklin 200 years ago and operated by government employees-the United States Postal Service."

Compared with Blockbuster, Netflix's most fatal flaw is the time it takes for most subscribers to receive DVDs. At the beginning, they had to wait four, five, or even six days to get new movies, which was obviously not a pleasant experience.

However, since the first warehouse was established in Sunnyvale in the summer of 2001 to provide next-day delivery services to subscribers in the Bay Area, the number of subscribers in the Bay Area has increased significantly. Netflix then quickly built nearly 30 distribution centers across the country, relying on USPS to deliver the movies rented by subscribers online at the latest the next day. The key point is that this has brought a large increase in subscribers, rather than the progress and popularization of the Internet and DVD laser disc technology that Netflix relied on at the beginning.

"I think this is not what the Netflix I like should be like,"

"At the same time, we have to admit that some of the analysis of our competitors does make sense. The Netflix I like is now engaged in a niche market (a niche market that industry leaders are too lazy to develop),"

"The bigger we make this market, the greater the risk, because it will obviously attract the attention of powerful companies. Even if one day we finally become the leader of this industry, we will also find that there are a large number of competitors behind us,"

"The key is that among these competitors, there are our original competitors. As we all know, Blockbuster's online rental is about to be launched; there may also be many powerful leaders in other industries, such as Walmart, which is now a great threat to us,"

"Can we defeat these competitors? I believe that after hard work, we Netflix people will eventually win,"

First praise and then suppress, now we have to praise for a while, no one likes to listen to criticism all the time.

"But I'm thinking, is there a better way? The answer is yes, that's why I've worked so hard for so long and must become colleagues with you, because I have the confidence to lead the Netflix I like and the Netflix people I like to create a brand new future," he waved his hand decisively.

Unlike the excitement at the beginning, the audience was quiet at this time. Everyone looked at Feng Yiping intently, quietly waiting for his next words.

A beam of sunlight just shone on him through the window glass. At this moment, he was extremely shining.

ps: Dear friends, Happy New Year!
