Chapter 2183 Such a Large Gathering

As soon as Feng Yiping got in the car, he threw the information aside. Some things in this world are ruined by those who pretend to be smart.

NBC and Fox are planning to set up a video website to compete with Feng Yiping's Netflix. Although it is secret, it still cannot be hidden from Feng Yiping at this time.

It's not that he is very important in Hollywood now. Just like News Corporation is cooperating with Feng Yiping with a smile, it is actively working behind the scenes to prepare to copy Feng Yiping's back road. There are also some film companies that seem to be on good terms with Fox and actively sell related news.

In the final analysis, in a sense, there is not much difference between companies and countries. They all say cooperation with a smile in front of each other, but behind the scenes, they are all calculating.

There is cooperation, but it is more common that one side cooperates in a certain direction for mutual benefit, and on the other side, one side is looking at the meat in the other bowl, and the other side, I am afraid that the chopsticks have already started to eat the meat in the bowl.

Therefore, he was not too angry about the fact that News Corporation, after reaching so many cooperation agreements with his company, was still thinking about bringing in NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation), a company with rich video resources, to get involved in the online video field.

This is the norm in the business world.

He also knew that Hollywood giants including Disney, Universal Pictures, MGM, Lionsgate Entertainment, Sony Pictures, and Warner Bros. Pictures have become video providers for their website.

In addition to Fox itself, it seems to be the dream team of Hollywood. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Hollywood is besieging Netflix.

There are probably many reasons for this.

It should be said that there are smart people everywhere. At this time, there should be quite a few people who have seen the potential and threat of Netflix. This website, which is said to be called "Hulu", which is the transliteration of the Chinese word "gourd", is their specific action.

Including Disney, which has never been acquired, these Hollywood film companies, and NBC, which is backed by General Electric, their parent companies, have very rich experience in the investment field.

They are obviously optimistic about the future of online video and hope to cater to the younger generation who have grown up with the development of the Internet.

At the same time, let's put it this way, this can also be said to be a collective outburst of these Hollywood movie giants who are unhappy with Netflix.

Whether it is these film companies themselves or the giants behind them, they probably never thought that Netflix, a middleman who makes a living by renting out their content, would have such achievements now and would have such a big impact on them in turn.

Coincidentally, the threshold for playing online has also been greatly reduced. Why don't we also have one to play with?

After all, Netflix still has to buy content from us, including some self-made content that is still ignorant of the sky and the earth, and we have an incomparable advantage in terms of content.

This is the main reason why Fox and NBC are moving together and the whole of Hollywood is actively joining in.

To put it bluntly, for Disney and others, they are very happy to deal with the growing Netflix.

Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, there is no loss in dealing with it. Whether there are fish or not, just cast a net first.

Feng Yiping also knew that this video company had already decided not to let go of the Chinese mainland market, so when James Murdoch started it, Feng Yiping saw his intention behind it.

If he had said it openly, Feng Yiping might have been interested in giving some advice.

It's not that he is selfless, but, please, he never heard of this website in China afterwards, right? So, what's the big deal?

Hearing such news, he felt that the comer was ill-intentioned and aggressive. Netflix and YouTube are actually now formulating corresponding response plans, but Feng Yiping had already decided on the strategy. As the saying goes, despise strategically and despise tactically.

It's just that no one probably knows that the real meaning of his words is that there is really no need to worry too much.

Although he doesn't know why this typical second-generation company with a high starting point did not operate well later, he feels that a big trend is that Silicon Valley often wants to enter other industries and ends up being quite successful.

From now to the future, Silicon Valley will not only produce computers and other electronic devices, but also play with websites and technologies related to websites. Their tentacles can be said to be everywhere.

Steve Jobs is the best example. His Pixar made the whole Hollywood jealous.

Of course, at this time, Jobs' Pixar was still taken over by Disney, and Jobs became the largest individual shareholder of Disney - this seems to be the most valuable legacy he left to his family later.

But on the other hand, companies in other industries want to copy the back roads of Silicon Valley companies, but from the results, none of them succeeded.

So, Silicon Valley is indeed a bit perverted?

But Feng Yiping likes it, haha.

It is based on this that he doesn't care much about James Murdoch's little calculations.

Because no matter how he calculated, their plots failed later.

But he also vaguely felt that he seemed to remember something related to News Corporation.

What is that?

Hollywood at night outside the window is brilliant and glorious. No wonder so many people dream of making a name for themselves here.

However, only a few of them succeeded. Mrs. Murdoch was one of the well-known successful people.

I don’t know if she was also involved in this matter behind the scenes.

Mrs. Murdoch, Feng Yiping shook his head, probably played a bad role in this.

At this moment, Feng Yiping finally remembered what he had just thought of.

In addition to the successful collusion on the plane, another thing that Mrs. Murdoch talked about most was that she quickly slapped the protester who wanted to attack Murdoch with something at the British Parliament’s hearing against News Corporation.

And what was the purpose of that hearing? It was because the newspapers under News Corporation were wiretapping in the UK.

James Murdoch, who is also responsible for News Corporation’s European business? This kid, he won’t do anything to me.

“Owen, conduct another inspection of the home and company for wiretapping as soon as possible,”

“Okay boss,” Owen replied.

At first, he thought it was just a routine job. In fact, these things were always done without Feng Yiping’s instructions.

Whether in the field of national politics or in the field of business, the United States has a lot of spies, and they have personal experience of this.

"This time, we must be more thorough," Feng Yiping reminded again.

"Okay," Owen responded, and then reacted, "You mean, them?"

"No way?" He was a little unconvinced.

After all, their largest business platform is called News Corporation, that is, it is mainly news.

They are doing this, and the nature of other companies spying on the business secrets of their opponents is different.

"Be careful," Feng Yiping said.

Although he also believed that they would not be so dizzy as to eavesdrop on him, but who can say for sure about this matter.

The phone vibrated, he took a look and picked up, "Hey Jobs, how are you preparing?"

"Oh, you said," the car stopped, he took the phone and walked inside without looking.

"Boss," Owen shouted.

Feng Yiping looked back at him, pointed at his phone, and indicated that he would take care of it.

Owen moved his mouth a few times, but boss, what I want to tell you is not that matter.

Feng Yiping listened to Jobs' words in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Steve, listen to me, the current situation is indeed different from what I said, but this is the kind of unexpected situation I mentioned at the beginning,"

"We can't underestimate their energy,"

"Yes," he stopped, "We think that this abnormal situation is what they did to save themselves after realizing the crisis,"

He finally knew why Jobs was so far behind Bill Gates, who loved and hated him, in terms of personal wealth.

Because Bill Gates was not as extreme and impulsive as him in investment - mainly because Buffett has always been his good friend.

But Jobs, this guy, is the kind of person who likes to speak his mind, and at the same time he thinks highly of himself, as if he left him, and many things really couldn't be turned around.

When he was kicked out of Apple, why did he buy all the Apple shares he held until there was only one share left?

That's because he felt that without him, Apple would have no hope.

This doesn't seem to be wrong, because Apple did not develop well after he left, and finally invited him back, and Apple rose again.

But things don't look like this.

Objectively speaking, it can be said that it was right for the Apple board of directors to kick him out of Apple.

The paranoid Jobs would really drive Apple into bankruptcy.

Jobs before being expelled and Jobs who was invited back by Apple as a savior again acted very differently because of that unforgettable experience.

If it was still the same Jobs before, Apple would have a much greater chance of sinking completely in his hands than reviving again.

"I'll go back to Silicon Valley tomorrow, and we'll have a meeting then, okay?" he said.

"Don't worry about this, the overall situation is under control, you can focus on the press conference,"

He put down the phone and shook his head slightly.

Faced with the same situation, Page and Brin did not call him, so the reason why Jobs was a little impatient was not trust, but mainly because his family background was the thinnest among the four people, and he was really worried about the $1 billion.

The next moment, Feng Yiping looked up and was stunned by the lineup in the restaurant.

"Hi," he raised his hand to greet everyone, "Alba, Collins, Brie, you are all here,"

He seemed to understand why Owen called him just now, and he should have seen their car.
