Chapter 1391 Tracking

Rubbing her sore eyes, Ma Ling picked up the coffee cup and walked to the window. She was about to call the nanny when she looked at it casually. Hey, the car downstairs seemed to be his.

Hey, is he coming now?

She didn't bother to dial the number. She could clearly see who would get off the car in a while, but she couldn't help but tiptoe.

Sure enough, she saw him and Owen get off the car almost at the same time.

Ma Ling immediately ran to the bathroom. While putting on makeup, she thought that he must go home today!

"Boss, Mr. Feng is here. I'm notifying you to go to the meeting." As expected, she heard such news as soon as she returned to the office.

"Thank you," when she walked into the meeting room with her Apple notebook, many people had already arrived. The smiling Feng Yiping was surrounded by them, but he noticed Ma Ling. "Hello, Ma Ling," he said loudly.

Ma Ling was really a little startled. There were so many people here, but she reacted immediately, "Hello, Mr. Feng,"

Although she tried her best to control it, when she looked at Feng Yiping, she couldn't help but let her eyes move a little.

Feng Yiping nodded at her, and he pretended to be nothing!

But Ma Ling felt a little bit excited again.

As soon as she sat down, she felt her phone vibrating. It was a text message, "I want to give my son a surprise,"

…………

Although it was a meeting with the purpose of inspection, the atmosphere was very good at the beginning.

Mainly because the situation of Youtube is very good, what they are doing now is to prepare the best advertising plan, "We are very confident that we can achieve the balance of income and expenditure of the website this year," Randolph said with high spirits.

After so many years of entrepreneurship, they were mostly the only ones who followed others to talk, saying to Hollywood, please show mercy and don't give too high a share? Tell users, our service is so good, become our members!

But with the rapid development of Youtube, now he finally has the opportunity to be asked by others.

These days, he is always followed by a large group of people, including representatives of well-known companies, and their only request is, "Let us do advertising!"

"Very good," Feng Yiping was also very happy. In addition to making money, he was also happy that YouTube in his hands was developing better than before. Such comparisons always gave him a faint sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"So Miss Ma Ling, how is the discussion with Hollywood and other media companies about the electronic copyright sharing?" Feng Yiping asked Ma Ling, who was smiling but did not look at him.

Ma Ling quickly looked up and glanced at him, "With the help of Sarando, we have signed revenue sharing agreements with our eleven Hollywood suppliers for the electronic copyright of their company's content,"

Ted Sarando is Netflix's content officer. He joined Netflix in 2000. It was with his efforts that Netflix first straightened out its supplier relationship and signed revenue sharing agreements with all major film production companies.

"The remaining several large companies are also negotiating related agreements. We can guarantee that all work will be completed before the deadline."

"Very good," Feng Yiping nodded, "Ma Ling, thank you and your team for your work! The website can have such influence now, and it has a lot to do with the fruitful work of the content department. For example, do you remember the Super Bowl incident?"

Who doesn't remember this? Janet Jackson's situation that day, whether intentional or unintentional, is a blessing for Youtube.

Before the video was finally removed, it brought more registered users to the website than everyone imagined.

The better news is that many of these registered users came from overseas, which would have cost a lot to reach their destination.

Their original purpose was naturally to appreciate the rare scene. Later, many of them were naturally attracted by the numerous original videos on the website and became loyal registered users.

The basis for this is that many of the videos uploaded to the website every day are from overseas.

"Haha, I suggest that we should specially issue a certificate of honorary employee to Janet Jackson," Randolph said everyone's thoughts with a smile.

But the next work report of Netflix was not as good as Youtube. "The expansion from the Internet to TV is progressing very slowly. The biggest problem is the closure of those TV networks."

"And there are more," Feng Yiping took note.

He also knew that whether it was a technical problem, mainly the development of set-top boxes, or the subconscious prevention of those media groups, it was indeed not the best time now, but it would not be wrong to make plans for such a critical step early.

"The second question is, according to your arrangement, the streaming media on demand that we are about to launch will be charged separately from the company's original DVD business. In this way, users who subscribe to our two services at the same time will definitely spend more than before,"

"We think that this may cause a lot of our users to lose,"

"The ones who lose should be our registered members of DVD rental," Feng Yiping thought for a while. If it were him, he would not be stupid enough to subscribe to these two services. He would just watch the streaming media.

"Yes," Randolph and the others thought the same as Feng Yiping.

"Everyone, this is something that cannot be avoided. It is foreseeable that our registered members of DVD rental will definitely cancel their subscriptions on a large scale in the future, but we must do our best to ensure that these unsubscribed users will become registered members of our streaming media again,"

Randolph and other Netflix veterans were not very happy after hearing what Feng Yiping said. You know, the company's original members were all grown up by them one by one, and each one was the crystallization of their sweat.

Feng Yiping's current attitude is a bit like selling his father's land without feeling sorry.

"Of course, I don't think this situation will happen at present. I think our DVD rental users have not reached the top yet, and there is still huge room. I think this number must be more than 10 million, so everyone, don't have to pull a long face," Feng Yiping smiled.

Those guys just realized that the person they just looked at was their boss.

Then they were a little surprised. More than 10 million registered users? Is it really possible?

If we can really achieve that goal, each member will be charged $8 per month based on the current price after the adjustment. This item alone will generate more than $1 billion in annual revenue!

"10 million registered users! It seems that our burden is still heavy," Randolph said.

"Not heavy," Feng Yiping shook his head, "Netflix now is not the same as the previous Netflix. Look at how many registered users our NEXTDOOR has? Currently, there are more than 30 million active users. Is it difficult to develop 10 million households based on them?"

Yes, those guys thought about it and realized that it was true. Whether it was NEXTDOOR, Facebook, or Youtube, including Coin Star, they were all projects with a very large user base, and these projects were currently boosting their own DVD rentals. From this point of view, the 10 million goal was indeed not too far away.

"Then the remaining 20 million are the members of our streaming media business?" Randolph joked.

"I think the streaming media business should indeed be at least twice as much as DVDV rentals," Feng Yiping did not look like he was joking.

…………

After the collective meeting, it was time for individual reports. Randolph didn't say much. "Feng, Hastings is looking forward to talking to you as soon as possible. In fact, he has been waiting since he heard that you were back the day before yesterday."

This Randolph is really the best friend and brother. Although his relationship with Hastings can no longer be restored to the level it was before, he always puts Hastings's request on him at a high priority.

"It's definitely not possible today," Feng Yiping looked at his watch. It was almost 5 o'clock. He had to go to see his son in the evening anyway.

"Also, I'm not going to see the others today,"

At work, he is different now than before. He can arrange his time according to his own wishes.

"Feng, I still think that Hastings' return is a good thing for us,"

"I understand," Feng Yiping couldn't help but pat this honest guy on the back, "He always has to be a little patient, right?"

…………

Feng Yiping deliberately staggered 10 minutes with Ma Ling to leave the company, but three blocks away from Ma Ling's house, Owen suddenly pulled over and looked at the back with burning eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"The car behind us must be following us,"
