Chapter 418 Zhu Ke is a dragon
Netflix.
After receiving the news, he learned that Zucker wanted to invest in Netflix. Netflix immediately held a board meeting and made a decision without hesitation after an hour of discussion.
"That guy Juke Wald must not be allowed to become a shareholder of Netflix. He is a dragon!" Daino West said in a deep voice.
Denon West is one of Netflix's shareholder representatives, representing Barclays.
Barclays is a commercial bank in the UK and the third largest banking company in the UK after HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland. As early as 1998, its total assets under management exceeded US$350 billion, making it one of the economic giants.
"I also disagree with Juke Wald's entry into Netflix!"
George Smith smiled and said, "Everyone, don't forget the lessons of McAfee (anti-virus) software company. McAfee's founder and former chairman, Samuuk, was ruthlessly kicked out of McAfee by Zucker and removed from all positions."
Reed Hastings: "…..."
Not only Reed Hastings was silent, but even Netflix's management and founder team were silent.
Netflix has been under great pressure in recent stages, especially lacking sufficient funds.
Zhuke is of course the goal pursued by management teams such as Reed Hastings, but they are also worried about the lessons learned from the past.
Even though Zhuke handled the McAfee change of ownership, he still left a bad reputation!
Kick the founder out of the company~ It sounds so bad!
"hehe!"
George Smith laughed again: "I heard the news yesterday and I told my boss Mr. Blackrock the first time. He said frankly: I don't like Juke Wald very much, and I even feel a little disgusted."
After the words came to an end, everyone present was shocked.
Mr. Blackrock, the boss of George Smith, who is he?
Speaking of this, we have to mention a company - BlackRock Group!
It is also called Black Rock Group, which sounds somewhat similar to another company, Black Rock Group, but in fact both companies are large companies.
BlackRock Group is one of the largest listed investment management groups in the United States, serving its global clients through its offices throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
In 2009, BlackRock Group merged with Merrill Lynch, which is known as one of the five major investment banks on Wall Street;
In 2011, the assets of listed companies managed by BlackRock Group exceeded US$3.6 trillion;
In 2019, BlackRock Group increased its holdings in HSBC Holdings, replacing Ping An Asset Management and becoming the largest shareholder of HSBC Holdings again.
Barclays holds more than 20% of Netflix;
BlackRock Group holds a stake in Netflix, with a share of more than 8%;
The shareholder representatives of these two companies refuted that Zhuke entered Netflix would naturally greatly affect the opinions of other shareholders and shareholder representatives.
The remaining shareholders...
There are the world's largest private equity fund Blackstone Group, the American Growth Foundation, etc., which doesn't matter, but in the end they still stood on the side of Barclays and BlackRock Group and opposed Zucker's entry into Netflix.
...........
Jinshuguang Entertainment Group.
"Am I stabbed the hornet's nest?"
"The efficiency of Netflix's board of directors is so fast, and the shareholders who oppose me entering Netflix are actually more than 85%?!"
"How much do they hate me?"
"I'm a dragon?"
"It's ridiculous!"
Zhuke stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the office, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
The McAfee change of ownership caused Zhuke to suffer a bad reputation. The impact was beyond imagination.
"Even if I am so infamous, I would not have such a strong attitude towards my investment in the company's shareholder representatives?"
To be honest, Zhu Ke and Netflix had no intersection at all before.
Even Netflix's shareholders, Barclays, BlackRock Group, Blackstone Group, American Growth Fund...
Zhuke dared to say: There is no intersection.
"How did you come up with such a great evil thought?!" Zhu Ke couldn't figure it out.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
Just then, a rapid knock on the door sounded.
"Come in!"
Who came in was the chief assistant Alexander.
"I have found the reason why you entered Netflix, the boss, Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group," Alexander handed Zucker a copy of information.
I have to say that Alexander has a strong ability to do things.

As soon as he read the information, Zhu Ke was immediately happy.
"I said, how could Barclays and BlackRock Group dislike me so much? It turns out that I caused them to suffer huge losses. No wonder!"
As we all know, before the outbreak of the Internet bubble, Zhuke was one of the "lucky" escapers. Even the selling of Internet and technology stocks made Zhuke a big profit.
Then, the Internet bubble exploded!
Countless Internet companies and listed companies have gone bankrupt and bankrupt, and the losses have been heavy. Countless investors and investment institutions have complained.
Well, there are two companies, Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group.
But... what did Zucker do?
Short selling!
Short selling!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Internet bubble triggering, Zhu Ke, as one of the earliest escapers, has a large cash flow reserve and is naturally able to make a comeback in the stock market.
Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group are deeply affected!
The direct economic losses caused to the two companies by Zhuke exceeded US$5 billion, and the indirect economic losses exceeded US$30 billion.
"Boss, if I were the senior executive of Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group, I would hate you too." Alexander laughed.
Zhuke nodded and smiled, "I guess if Barclays and BlackRock Group hadn't been completely liberated from the vortex of the Internet bubble, they would have taken revenge on me long ago."
Holding revenge is not exclusive to Zhuke.
Looking around the world, there are so many people who hold grudges, and they can completely fill the Pacific Ocean.
"Boss, is that what happened to Netflix?"
Alexander asked.
To be honest, Alexander hopes that Zucker can cooperate with Netflix. After all, more than 1,500 movies in the film library are ruined and they are completely unable to form economic value.
"So far? That won't work!"
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Netflix lost more than $45 million in the first half of the year. If the expected forecast is not bad, they will be broken for a few days. Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group are both rich, but they have not been liberated from the Internet bubble. I don't believe that they will pay for Netflix!"
"Ha~ I can wait!"
The streaming giant has great effect on building Zhuke’s media empire!
Chapter completed!
