Chapter 231 Two old foxes

Since Netflix is ​​so bad now and looks bad in the future, why do you, the boss, who is known for his precise vision, have a special liking for it?

Dudley's words were so straightforward.

Because it is direct, it is particularly powerful.

But Cummins has been in such an industry and has been hanging with Wall Street for so long, and finally achieved the position of senior vice president, and it is not a waste of money.

When a master plays chess, he will see at least the next three steps. When people like them communicate with others, they can naturally guess the direction of the next few sentences.

When he answered Dudley's words, he could guess that he would ask this question next.

"Dante has a saying that Feng agrees very much. There is no garbage in the world, only treasures placed in the wrong place," Cummins said leisurely.

"You know, we have nextdoor, coin star, redbox, and we serve too many families. Apart from those overlapping, we have at least more than 20 million household users, and that number is still growing every day,"

"So Feng believes that it's no big deal for us to have a company like Netflix, and it just happens to be well integrated into our system," he said.

Dudley did not immediately refute this time, "Garbage is actually a treasure that is placed in the wrong place? So, in general, Netflix is ​​a treasure to you. Do I think so right?"

"Only in our system can it be possible, in other places, haha, don't you know very well?"

"I think that for Feng, as long as he is interested in the industry, he will definitely do well," Emilia interrupted again.

It is a benefit to bringing a beautiful female employee. Some words that look a little stingy, a little sour, or a little arrogant are said through her mouth, but they are a little cute.

When Emilia said these words, for some reasons, she was actually acting in her true colors, and she was really mixed with her own feelings, so the effect was better.

"Of course, we have no doubt about this," Dudley did not object to Emilia's words, and even hoped that there would be a female employee so beautiful and admired herself in the foundation.

"So, how much is it for this resource that can be turned into a treasure in your hands?" This guy who had a lot of opinions when he was talking to Hastings just now asked Cummins about the price.

This is capitalism.

"Dudley, I think you should also be clear that in essence, it is just an ordinary resource, right? To turn this resource into a treasure, we still need to invest more resources. Of course, some of these resources are what we have now, and some of them are configured from scratch."

"We are businessmen, not magicians, and it is impossible to turn resources into treasures directly. In other words, Netflix is ​​just a resource we need, and it is not that kind of irreplaceable resource," he said.

Dudley didn't say anything, looked at Cummins and shook his head with a smile, picked up the small spoon on the plate, and gently stirred the coffee, looking like I was so unbelievable.

"At the beginning, this little red fruit grew in the Ethiopian wilderness and was not picked. Only goats grazing there would be eaten," he began a new topic similar to the "tips of tongue" created by CCTV's famous documentary later.

"Now, hundreds of millions of people rely on the drinks they grind out to start their day's work with energy,"

What Dudley said is a legend of the origin of coffee and is also an unanimous statement among historians.

"So, it turns out that there are only treasures that are placed in the wrong place. Many people have come up with various ways to replace coffee beans, but without exception, they all ended in failure. So, some of these resources are still irreplaceable, what do you think?"

"Can you give me a cup of tea?" Cummins suddenly said with a smile.

Dudley's face changed when he heard this.

"In the East, there is another plant with magical effects, tea," Cummins said with a smile. "Dudley, I believe you have this kind of drink, too."

"So, there are no irreplaceable resources, right?" he asked back.

Dudley couldn't help but secretly hated him and fought again, forgetting Feng's background, his motherland, the origin of tea.

"It is also because of tea that we have today's America, right?" Emilia interrupted again at the right time.

This is true.

The independence of the United States began when the Boston people in 1773, in order to resist the high tax policies of the British colonial authorities, dumped 342 boxes of tea from three British East India Company ships in the Boston Bay.

Cummins nodded at the female assistant, "Dudley, believe me, with our current resources, it is very simple to start a company like Netflix. I want to do it today and start implementing it tomorrow. I don't think you deny this, right?"

Dudley nodded, "Yes, but I'm not sure it will definitely be better than Netflix in the future."

"We can be sure," Cummins said without a doubt, "but Feng is not willing to do that. How do you say it? You know, Feng is a young man. His generation of young people are different from us. He is used to using ideology. Since there are similar companies, he is too lazy to start a new start,"

"Of course, if he finds that the price of bringing this company is too high, he will definitely start his own without hesitation."

"So, Dudley, Feng is generous and willing to pay some price for convenience. I believe he is also happy to provide some help to the pension funds of the people of New Jersey, but he hates the price of the price,"

"So, Dudley, what about your opinion? Are you holding Netflix's stocks, and looking forward to it flying into the sky one day?"

"I have to say that at present, this is not very optimistic. You have also seen the current situation. Just Walmart and Netflix are overwhelmed. Haha, there are also Pepsika, the mortal enemy and old enemy, who are also ready to go,"

"Maybe by this time next year, Mr. Hastings will take the initiative to find someone to acquire his company again, just like that time in 2000,"

This knife was naturally made up by Emilia.

It's really a trick, it's very good, and it's very hard to get to the point.

"Dudley, are you planning to stay on this ship that looks like the Titanic, which looks like this one, or take advantage of this good opportunity to get out of the trap and invest in other projects with higher returns?" Cummins asked.

"At the same time, I can solemnly promise you on behalf of the company to give you priority investment opportunities. After we reintegrate Netflix, we sincerely welcome the New Jersey Public Pension Fund to invest again,"

“We also believe that you will definitely get excellent returns on investment at that time.”

…………

It was not until noon that Dudley sent Cummins and Emilia downstairs, and he held Cummins' hand, "You have to understand that Cummins, shaking hands does not mean that I accept your offer, but we will definitely consider your proposal carefully and welcome you to visit again,"

"Thank you, I look forward to visiting again, and you are welcome to visit Silicon Valley," Cummins held his hand and shook it. "I believe you will make an informed choice,"

At this time, 600 kilometers away from them, another Netflix institutional shareholder, in the Canadian Imperial Commercial Bank Asset Management Company, Luke, who was on the phone with Hastings, pressed the call button on the table, "Anna," he asked his secretary, "When will the nextdoor people come to the company?"

"The morning after tomorrow," Anna reported it immediately.

“You marked this as a key issue,”

"Okay boss,"

"In addition, I want all the information about nextdoor, including the one from Yipingfeng,"

"No problem, I'll prepare now. Do you have any other requirements, Mr. Luke?"

…………

Shanghai, Fang Yingzhi nodded to Jin Ling's group of secretly competing assistants and quickly walked into Jin Ling's office. "Mr. Jin, I have received the anti-corruption regulations written by the various departments and all subordinate companies of the group. After summarizing them, you will be able to see them tomorrow morning."

"I have verified with the Supervision Department and they have also received the same email,"

Jin Ling raised her head, "Sure enough, this is sometimes more strict,"

The phone rang, "Mr. Jin," said an assistant, "the phone number of the Commission on the Promotion of International Trade,"

"Central for the Promotion of Trade? Transfer it in," Jin Ling said, "Hello,"

I don’t know what was said on the phone, but Fang Yingzhi saw that Jin Ling was surprised, "Prime Minister..., visiting the group? OK, I understand, thank you!" (To be continued.)
