Los Gato, California, United States.

Time: 9 am on January 31.

The private jet "Lola" slowly landed at the airport, and Zhu Ke and his team got off the plane and boarded a convoy of ten luxury cars.

In fact, the accompanying staff who really accompanied Zhu Ke consisted of only a mere 8 people, and couldn't use ten cars at all. However, most of the car's cost is for the accompanying security personnel.

Under the influence of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, more than hundreds of gun attacks have occurred in various states in the United States in recent months.

In Liberty America, the shootout is every day.

This is definitely not empty talk!

Student Zhu Ke takes care of his life!

"Alexander, do you know what name is this celebration of Netflix?"

Zhu Ke asked in the car.

Alexander nodded and replied: "I arrived in Los Gato a day earlier, and I was not here for dry meals. Netflix organized this large-scale celebration. In nominal terms, it was'celebration of Netflix's more than 500,000 subscribers. 'However, under my various investigations, I found that it had another purpose."

"Uh?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately became interested.

Zhu Ke smiled: "Can you talk about it?"

Alexander said solemnly: "Toshiba!"

"According to my survey results, Japanese electronics giant Toshiba is about to sign a strategic partnership agreement with Netflix."

When the voice fell, Zhu Ke suddenly realized: "That's it, I said how Netflix's actions were so big this time!"

Toshiba Group, one of the largest electronics giants in Japan, is also well-known worldwide. But... it hasn't achieved the point of being alone!

Toshiba's rival, that is-Sony Group!

Sony is also a giant in the TV industry, even slightly better than Toshiba Group.

A few days ago, the Sony Group stirred up trouble in Hollywood, and successively won many Hollywood small and medium-sized film companies. With a high check, it won the copyright of more than a thousand films in one fell swoop; and it also took the lead in establishing the " The main purpose of the "Blu-ray Disc Founders" interest group is to develop the next generation of new DVD formats, so as to achieve the purpose of monopolizing the sales of DVD players.

Sony Group's wolf ambition is obvious...

How can Toshiba Group sit still?

As a result, blockbuster, an offline DVD sales and leasing giant with more than 9,000 stores, more than 60,000 employees, and a market value of more than 35 billion U.S. dollars in the global market, has become the most important goal of Toshiba Group.

However, Blockbuster’s parent company is Viacom Group.

The owner of Viacom Group is Redstone again.

What a cunning guy Redstone is, and he doesn't have a large enough interest, so he won't be involved in the war between Sony and Toshiba now.

Second, it is no surprise that Toshiba Group has taken aim at Netflix in the same industry!

"That's it."

Zhu Ke couldn't help but smile and said: "Speaking of Toshiba Group is quite foreseeable, their choice of Netflix, indeed can bring them more market share."

Alexander echoed: "Boss is right. As an emerging online DVD rental company, Netflix currently has more than 500,000 subscribers. Although it is much lower than Blockbuster’s 25 million subscribers, Netflix is ​​also The veritable first person to rent online."

"Netflix needs more allies, and Toshiba Group also needs more dumpers. The combination of the two definitely has more advantages than disadvantages."

The voice fell.

Classmate Zhu Ke nodded frequently, and said angrily: "As a result, it will be even more difficult for me to acquire a stake in Netflix."

Alexander: "..."

Zhu Ke is staring at Netflix, the future streaming media empire. It is not a day or two, it can be said that it is heart and soul~

......

Netflix.

"Has the contract been signed?"

This is a topic of concern to many Netflix shareholders.

"Of course!"

Reed Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, said loudly: "Just this morning, we have officially signed a cooperation agreement with Toshiba Group. Toshiba Group will authorize us more than 2,000 film rights. The number of our Netflix movies exceeded 20,000 movies in one fell swoop."

"Moreover, this is only now!"

"It's the first step!"

"As Toshiba Group continues to negotiate with major Hollywood film companies, I believe it will not be long before Toshiba Group will once again provide us with 2000, 3000, and 5000 movies, and even a steady stream. At that time, we will be able to rent to customers The number of movies will surely expand again!"

The voice just fell.

All the shareholders and shareholder representatives present boiled instantly.

"awesome!"

"With more types of movies, we will be able to attract more users, not to mention surpassing Blockbuster, and definitely close the gap."

Denon West said.

He is one of Netflix's shareholder representatives and represents Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom.

Ok~

The gap between Barclays and Zucker is not small.

There was the Internet bubble in the early 2000s, and Zhu Ke was short-selling many Internet companies that Barclays Bank participated in, causing Barclays Bank to suffer huge losses;

Then there was the digging incident in 2001!

Zhu Ke’s Starship Technology Company in Europe was maliciously poached by Barclays Bank, poaching a large number of key personnel, and even the CEO was poached.

Zhu Ke was angry and took him to the International Court of Justice in one fell swoop.

Today, this international lawsuit involving the "competition agreement" has lasted for 10 months and has not yet been concluded, and depending on the situation, it is estimated that it will not be over in another year.

"I've confirmed that this fellow Zucker Wold has arrived in Los Gato. He obviously accepted our invitation letter. Tsk tusk tusk, this time I have to kill him for whatever I said."

Denon West said jokingly.

"Humph!"

CEO Reed Hastings let out a cold snort, and said dissatisfiedly: "The visitor is a guest. West did this, but it was a bit too much."

Reed Hastings is the founder of Netflix. Although he opposes Zhuke's stake in Netflix, he does not want to befriend Zhuke. Furthermore, he hopes to make good friends with Zhu Ke and win more development opportunities for Netflix.

This invitation to Zhuke is the proposal of Reed Hastings.

He hopes to have a good relationship with Zhu Ke.

However... things often did not develop as he expected.

"Reid, you're exaggerating, and you're a little timid!"

Denon West said.

"Yes!"

Shareholder representative George Smith echoed: "Don't make that guy too mythical. He is very rich. But to put it bluntly, he is still just a 20-year-old boy. What are we afraid of him? With Toshiba For the cooperation of the group, we do not need any help from Zhuke Wald!"

The voice fell.

Denon West and George Smith looked at each other and smiled.

Denon West represents the British Barclays Bank;

George Smith represents the BlackRock Group of America;

The BlackRock Group is also known as the "Black Rock Group~lightnovelpub.net~ It sounds similar to another company, the Blackstone Group. In fact, both companies are large companies. The BlackRock Group is the largest listed investment in the United States. One of the management group, through its offices in the United States, Europe and Asia, to provide services to customers around the world.

In 2009, BlackRock also successfully acquired Merrill Lynch, which is known as one of the "Five Major Investment Banks on Wall Street".

Barclays Bank owns more than 20% of Netflix shares;

The BlackRock Group's share of Netflix is ​​over 8%;

With shareholder representatives of the two companies taking the lead, even Reed Hastings, the founder and CEO of Netflix, was sometimes overwhelmed by them, suppressing his voice in many ways.

"I repeat, the person who invited Mr. Zucker Wald to come is me, and in the name of the company. I don't want to see anyone being malicious towards Mr. Wald. Remember, I'm only Netflix CEO!"

Reed Hastings looked at both Denon West and George Smith coldly.
