Hastings knew at the first time that Feng Yiping had returned to Silicon Valley, but he did not urge him. At this time, he had already regretted the impulse a few days ago.

He also wanted to see when Buchanan would call him.

The result was not very satisfying to him. He only received a call from Buchanan before he got off work the day after Feng Yiping came back. It seemed that he was very anxious and ranked very low in their place.

"Hastings, Feng wants to ask you, do you have time the morning after tomorrow?"

This is pretty polite, but Mr. Hastings is a little angry now, so his answer is, "I'm sorry, my schedule is full the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, that's right! Feng doesn't have to cancel his original schedule, we go directly to Seattle,"

You can't hear Buchanan's slight displeasure or annoyance, but you will hear his joy and relief very clearly.

And Seattle, Hastings can't listen to this now.

Amazon, the owner of Imdb, is in Seattle. Both parties are a little secretive about the nextdoor's preparation to acquire Imdb, and they are very unclear. Are they going to this time?

Hastings immediately changed his tune, "Buchanan, don't you want me to meet Feng, do you? I haven't finished speaking yet, you know best. I have wanted to meet Feng a long time ago, so no matter how full the schedule is, I must call it out at this time,"

His turn seemed very seamless. Buchanan just answered the conversation, but he answered it faster.

"That's it," Buchanan's voice sounded like a little sad, "Feng Houtian has time after 9 am. Will you be in the company then?"

This is said very politely again.

"I'd better go to nextdoor. I've wanted to go to your place for a long time," Hastings was quite polite.

But he was really not polite, so he naturally wanted Feng Yiping to visit him, rather than him taking the initiative to visit Feng Yiping.

But, now that Feng Yiping comes to Netflix, do you think I am stupid?

Feng Yiping is now a sensible person, and his skills are indeed superb. No matter how slow a person is, it can be seen from the fact that he cooperates with McDonald's to run Redbox. He is very interested in DVD rental and is doing very well. He doesn't want people to misunderstand what he wants to cooperate with him.

But Feng Yiping is afraid that everyone will think so very much. He can't say it well. He will take advantage of this opportunity to visit Netflix to spread some news that is beneficial to him.

To be honest, the tough Hastings has not had a good time this year.

Netflix's sales this year are not optimistic, and the increase in the number of new subscribers is limited, but to make matters worse, a strong retail giant like Walmart has been targeting this cake and has launched its own DVD rental business based on so many stores.

But this is not the saddest thing. What makes people sad is that the so-called misfortune does not happen singly.

The threat from the retail giant Walmart here has not been eliminated. On the other hand, the old rival PepsiCo is also very disregarding the decent and is copying its own model that they originally looked down upon. The hateful guy Antioch gathered a group of people and is preparing for the online rental business in full swing.

If Pepsi only operates physical stores, then compared with Netflix, its huge expenses in physical stores are its biggest disadvantage.

However, if it operates online business at the same time, relying on so many offline physical stores, optimizes resource allocation and facilitates customer consumption, Hastings knows that this will definitely produce the effect of one plus one greater than two, and will definitely put huge pressure and challenges on itself.

It’s true that the lion here hasn’t been driven away yet, and another tiger is eyeing it behind.

Such reality and such trends have made many shareholders very dissatisfied, and have even put forward an opinion. In order to increase sales, it is also to prevent the upcoming impact of PepsiCo. Can Netflix consider cooperating with some potential companies?

Feng Yiping’s Coin Star and Redbox are both excellent partners no matter how you look at it.

Will Feng Yiping come to the door, wouldn’t it be exactly what he wants?

"So good, at 9 am the day after tomorrow, Feng will be waiting for your visit in the company,"

"Hi Buchanan," Hastings added, "This meeting, I am positioned as a private meeting,"

He decided to put ugly words ahead and not give nextdoor the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

"No problem, we promise to keep it confidential," Buchanan also agreed very readily.

…………

"This is a cautious person," Feng Yiping said to Cummins after hearing Buchanan's retelling.

They had the intention to reveal this matter to the media on their own initiative. Anyway, the preparations for the acquisition of Netflix were ready. If he obeyed, the two companies would join hands and fall in love with each other, and the two companies would join the other.

If he disagrees, he will resist a few times at most. In the end, his heart may be unwilling and affection may be unwilling, but he still has to be together obediently. Oh no, he will be united.

In short, Feng Yiping has been planning for so long, and has prepared one by one from the funds to the ecological chain, and has even postponed the launch of youtube. Netflix has only one result, whether it is active or passive.

"From another perspective, it seems that Hastings is a person who puts everything on the surface. Talking to him should be easier," Cummins said.

"No Cummins," Feng Yiping shook his head, "that's the ideal situation, so we can't think that way,"

"In fact, he can think so. He hopes to make it clear in terms of what is beneficial to himself," he said. "Right, it's very possible, but he doesn't want to make it clear in terms of what is beneficial to us, right?"

"You make sense," Cummins thought for a moment, and nodded, "We really can't be blindly optimistic until this acquisition is over, assuming everything is in our favor."

Or you can be optimistic, but I can't.

In fact, most of the time, as the ultimate responsible person of the group, he cannot be blindly optimistic. If he is optimistic, then Jiasheng may not be so optimistic.

"Then you guys prepare," Feng Yiping put up his computer, "I have to go home,"

It’s almost time for my parents to get home now.

As soon as he arrived at the company's door, Zheng Jiayi happened to take Mei Jianzhong to turn from there.

Grandpa has always been unable to stay at home. Now he is more curious than young people and wants to see more of the world.

Feng Yiping has never been old, so he doesn’t know if this is a common feature of the elderly. The older he gets, the more he is nostalgic about everything?

But no matter what, he decided that as long as his grandfather wanted, he would let him go more places and see more places.

"Thank you, Jiayi,"

"Thank you, Miss Zheng, for coming to your house for dinner when you have time," said my grandfather.

"Where, I want to thank my grandpa, otherwise I will have to go to work honestly in the company? How great it is to be outside! Goodbye grandpa!"

She waved her hand and hurried towards the company.

The words just now were naturally for the old man to listen to. The current adaptability training is very important to them.

"It's rare for her mother to be so good-natured," said Mei Jianzhong. "I remember that the children of the leaders in the village had much bigger tempers than her."

Yes, it turns out that many grassroots cadres in the local area now have a paternalistic work style. They regard themselves as local emperors and are very willing to give their children.

However, relatively speaking, the higher the parent level, the more restrained or cautious the yamen are. They all have their own relatively fixed circles and will never reach out. On average, the governor's son is not as ostentatious as the village head's son.

As for the top yamen, haha, if you want to meet it, it may be more difficult than meeting the parents of his high-ranking officials.

Besides, Zheng Jiayi in high school did not have anything to do with her good temper? She seemed to have a sudden change after she arrived in college.

"It's quite rare. Grandpa, after you go back this time, you will spend the winter with your aunt and dad in our hotel in Hainan? I'll arrange for someone to drive you to take you around the island."

"Where can I leave?"

This old man just doesn’t have the concept of retirement.

It's okay, Feng Yiping has a way to let him submit.

…………

The grandfather and grandson waited at the foot of the mountain for a while, the RV arrived. Huang Jingping hugged Amanda, who was still sleepy, and walked down first, "Look at Grandpa Zeng, look at Dad,"

The little guy yawned a big yawn.

"I have had a great time these two days and I haven't had a nap," Huang Jingping explained.

Feng Yiping touched his daughter's head, "Uncle, aunt, parents," he looked at the three suitcases that Carol and the others had sorted out, "Three when they went there, but three when they came back. Did you buy nothing?"

"There are everything, what else can I buy?" Huang Chengzhong said.

"That's right," the three agreed in unison.

Feng Yiping looked at Huang Jingping, and she shrugged with a smile.

"Let's go home soon. I took a lot of photos," Feng Zhenchang said excitedly.

…………

When Hastings set off from Los Gatos, it started to rain. The town immediately became wet. Except for those who came out to walk their dogs, there were no people outside. There were only a few people on it that were crowded with jungle trains.

Under a tree next to the green space, two doves, probably too fat to fly, were hiding from the rain helplessly and embarrassedly.

He felt a little unhappy inexplicably.

It will be before 9 o'clock, and he finally arrived at nextdoor. The front desk is very enthusiastic. "Mr. Feng is waiting for you, please come with me."

"Thank you," Hastings paid close attention to the situation in this small building. The decoration was very fashionable, at least it had a high-tech style than the current decoration of his company.

The atmosphere was very good, the employees were all relaxed, and the group discussions I saw were filled with laughter.

It seems nextdoor has performed well recently.

On the other hand, there are lions and tigers next to them, which is really a bit depressing for a while.

The front desk knocked twice on the door of an office on the south side of the second floor, and gently pushed open the door, "Please please, inside,"

"Haha, you must be Mr. Hastings, please come in quickly."

By the window, in front of the set of Chinese hardwood furniture, a young man wearing a goose yellow sweater stood there with a smile. The real person seemed to be younger than what he saw on TV.

"I'm glad to see you, Mr. Fon," Hastings walked over with a smile.

"You're here just right, please sit down," Feng Yiping let him go to the chair on the right.

It came just right? What does it mean? I mean I was too on time?

"Please wait," Feng Yiping turned around and walked towards the tallest corner of the wall. On the exquisite charcoal stove, the sand slurry was making a brisk sound, and the water was ready.
