At 9 p.m. that night, Zhuke and his group had already turned back to the hotel.

"Boss, no longer the celebration scene?" Alexander asked with a smile.

"Come on."

Zhuke waved his hand: "I basically don't know the people at the celebration, and there are two idiots, Denon West and George Smith. I really don't want to stay there anymore, it's meaningless."

Alexander nodded.

His family knows what his family means, and Alexander has been following Zhuke for several years and is very clear about Zhuke's principles of dealing with things.

Generally speaking, since 2000, Zhuke has rarely participated in social engagements;

Secondly, Netflix's celebration seemed huge, but in fact, the guests invited were of average quality, and none of them could be compared with Zucker.

The ancients said: The dragon does not live with the snake!

Zhuke had nothing to talk to with those people, so what's the point of staying at the celebration site?!

Ding Ding Ding ~

At this moment, Alexander's phone rang.

Hearing his phone ringing, Alexander subconsciously hung up the phone and quickly said, "Boss, sorry."

This work awareness...is amazing!

Zhuke glanced at him and smiled, "If the phone is coming, just answer it. It's not the time for the meeting."

"Thank you boss."

Alexander's attitude is extremely sincere at this moment.

What reason does Zhu Ke have to be dissatisfied with this kind of subordinate who understands the rules and knows how to advance and retreat?

After a while...

The call is over.

Zhuke narrowed his eyes and frowned, "You mean, Netflix's founder and CEO Reed Hastings is coming to visit me later?"

"Yes."

Alexander nodded: "However, I didn't agree to him at once, after all, I didn't get your confirmation."

Hearing this, Zhuke became even more satisfied and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, call him to come now."

“Yes, boss.”

Just as Alexander was about to turn and leave, Zucker stopped him again and gave a few extra instructions.

Additional reminders...

These few words made Alexander's eyes widen!

Alexander looked at Zhuke with a weird expression and hesitated: "Boss, do you really want to do this?"

"certainly."

Zucker shrugged.

"Boss, are there some such means, some, some..." Alexander stopped talking.

"Do you want to say that my methods are a bit too dirty!"

Zucker narrowed his eyes.

Alexander smiled embarrassedly to hide his embarrassment.

soon.

When it was around 10 o'clock in the evening, Netflix founder and CEO Reed Hastings, came downstairs of the hotel where Zucker was staying as promised.

Soon, under Alexander's guidance, he entered the hotel suite where Zucker was.

"Mr. Wald, it's a pleasure to see you again after a few hours of separation!"

Reed Hastings was so respectful to Juke. Juke was also very enthusiastic and poured him a glass of whiskey himself.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was so harmonious.

"Mr. Wald, I said it straight. I would like to ask you, don't know if you still have the idea of ​​investing in Netflix?"

At this moment, Hastings' expression was very solemn.

Zhuke sat upright and blurted out: "Of course, I have always been optimistic about Netflix's future."

Upon hearing this, Hastings said solemnly: "Okay! Mr. Wald is quick to speak, so I will say it directly. I am the founder and CEO of Netflix, but I currently own only 15% of the equity in Netflix. Even with the management's shares, the equity support rate can be obtained is only 24%, which is far lower than the holdings of other shareholders."

"In other words, my voice is seriously restricted by the major shareholders!"

The words fell.

Zhuke: "So you plan to bring me into the market to check and balance shareholders such as Barclays, BlackRock Group, Blackstone Group, etc."

"That's right!"

Hastings admitted: "Netflix has more than 70 shareholders, including Barclays, BlackRock Group, BlackStone Group and other large companies that account for more than 45% of the equity and turnout, which seriously affects the company's decision-making and normal operation, so I am very urgent and sincerely invite you to join."

“How many shares can I get?”

Zucker smiled.

“4%!”

Hastings said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ke quickly stopped him and said, "Man, a mere 4% of Netflix shares is not enough to let me take advantage of big companies such as Barclays Bank, BlackRock Group, and Blackstone Group. Do you treat me as a fool?!"

Hastings tried his best to defend himself, but Zucker was still unmoved.

yes!

Zhuke really hopes to invest in Netflix, but Zhuke dislikes that he can get too few shares.

Netflix's current valuation is just over US$180 million. Among a number of American companies, it can only be regarded as a good company. Compared with strong companies, there are countless companies. But looking at its company's shares, it will definitely scare a large number of people.

Barclays, the second largest bank in the UK, second only to HSBC;

BlackRock Group, one of the largest listed investment management groups in the world;

Blackstone Group, which is one of the most valuable private equity funds in the world;

The American Growth Foundation is a semi-charity and semi-official institution in the top ten in the United States;

.........

No matter which one of these companies is picked up by individually, they are extremely powerful and can shock a large number of people.

The existence of a large number of shareholders truly interprets the temple’s little demonic style!

Zhu Ke didn't mind stepping into this muddy water.

Don't mind being a shit-scratcher.

Others are afraid of these giant companies, but Zucker is not afraid. He even competes with these companies in some business aspects. Therefore, Zucker is not worried about offending them. Especially the two companies, Barclays and BlackRock Group, Zucker has long had a conflict of interest with them!

But......

A mere 4% of Netflix's equity cannot allow Zucker to face these giant companies!

Zhuke said in a deep voice: "Reid, your sincerity is too low. I am very willing to be a shareholder of Netflix, but I am not that cheap either!"

Hastings nodded with a serious expression and said, "I understand. But I also hope you can understand me. This is just a Series C financing. There will be more opportunities for expansion and financing in the future. At that time, I believe that according to your wealth and vision, you will definitely be able to obtain more shares."

Zhuke looked directly at the other person and suddenly smiled, "Are you drawing me a pizza?"

"Of course not, I believe in your strength, Mr. Wald!"

Hastings said with a firm look on his face.

Well, the conversation ended up not reaching an agreement, and it was a disagreement.

......

Hastings left.

Alexander walked into Zucker's hotel suite again.

"How is it? Have you taken the photos?" Zucker asked.

"certainly!"

Alexander laughed and said, "Boss, you have to believe in the strength of the reporters of the California Entertainment News. When it comes to camera capture and capture, they are no less than the famous Hollywood directors."

Upon hearing this, Zhuke nodded and smiled.

Before Hastings arrived at the hotel, Zucker instructed Alexander to arrange several paparazzi reporters to record the secret meeting between Hastings and Zucker, and also included photos as evidence.

Alexander said with a strange face: "Boss, Hastings meets you. He has been in his eighth lifetime and he can't even escape."

"fart!"

Zhuke laughed and said, "After the matter is exposed, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for Hastings himself, but in the long run, if I join Netflix, I will definitely benefit Netflix from a huge benefit!"

Zhuke, who owns Hollywood Wald Pictures, is certainly confident that Netflix will take off further.

The next morning.

The California Entertainment News has made efforts!

Netflix founder and CEO Reed Hastings's exposure rate increased significantly, but it also caused him to be questioned by the board of directors.

Reed Hastings looked extremely ugly and gritted his teeth and said, "Juke Wald! You are really using everything, your methods are so dirty!"
Chapter completed!
