Chapter three hundred and eight calm and panic

Hastings was really out of his anger, he glared at Luke, "Why?"

To emphasize, my hand slapped hard on the table, "Why?"

Why can you lend them money and let them buy your stocks, and I can't even raise funds?

"Hastings," Luke has a bad temper now. He is about to bring a series of benefits to his company and the group. He was brutally suspended. Moreover, this meeting will definitely become one of the most "exciting" meetings in the company's history. No one will feel good now.

"I'll ask you, what are you using to discuss financing with our bank?" Luke said.

Hastings hesitated again, yes, what should I use to negotiate financing with the bank? It seems that it can only be equity.

So, in order to repurchase these seven points of equity, you must first pledge at least ten points of equity (using equity financing, generally discounts will be given) plus a premium of at least 20%, that is, at least more than 15% of Netflix's equity must be pledged.

Even if the board of directors can agree to such a large amount of repurchase, and even if the board of directors can take out the 15% equity used to pledge, it is impossible to approve his plan: In order to recover the 7% from Imperial Commercial Bank, we must first mortgage 15% to him. How crazy is it to agree to do this?

Unless his head was kicked by a wild horse in the Arizona desert.

Hastings instantly figured out the obstacles and found that Luke shook his head and was quite correct. I guess they had already understood the obstacles.

So, maybe my personal financing repurchase? This idea was just a flash of thought and was thrown behind him.

In a country like the United States that advocates consumption and investment, a businessman does not rely on his own company. In just a few days, he wants to dig up 200 million people, but he is definitely not at his level.

"How is it, no, right?" Luke also slapped the table. "Business is business. We can freely transfer our shares without restrictions. We will definitely make relevant announcements later. Hastings, what does it mean when you do this today?"

He pointed to the window that was still flying snowflakes, wrapped in silver, "This is not Silicon Valley,"

He pointed to the conference room and the office area outside, "This is not your Netflix,"

He finally pointed to his nose, "I am not your subordinate, either."

His words are reasonable, so every sentence is harsh.

Hastings couldn't refute it, but he was still angry, thinking it was Luke and Imperial Commercial Bank's betrayal.

He was in a position of failure and stopped paying attention to Luke and looked at Cummins, "So, does this mean that you have officially started?"

"Yes, Mr. Hastings," Cummins said with a smile, "does this mean you're out of the bid?"

"You guys will never succeed," Hastings glared at him for a while until his eyes turned red. "Let's go and see,"

He stood up and pulled the chair away vigorously, and the feet of the chair made a harsh friction sound on the ground.

"I look forward to seeing you at the next Netflix shareholder, Mr. Hastings," Cummins said in a humble manner. "If this is true, then I think we will meet again soon,"

His small, provocative fire added fuel to the fire, which made Hastings urge to turn the table up, but he obviously understood that this was not a good time to be impulsive.

He left despite the disagreement just now, and now the opposition of Luke, who is still magnificent, sat down in the chair next to him, "Man, I apologize to you for my impulse just now. I was so out of control just now. I was wrong."

"It's okay," Luke said, but his body turned to the other side. Obviously, it's not really okay.

"Luke, you are one of Netflix's earliest investors. As we all went through many ups and downs together, we got to this day. You know how difficult it was for us at the beginning, so we should be clear that since we can all get to where we are today under such difficult circumstances, Netflix will definitely have a better future. I have always believed in this,"

He moved Luke with affection.

"Your investment returns are not ideal since your listing, but if you look at your entire investment cycle, the numbers are still very good, isn't it? Now is the time when I need your support the most, and I really hope to get your support,"

"We have worked together for so many years and have a tacit understanding between each other. Why do we need to spend time reconnecting with a strange company?"

This is to understand the truth.

"Sorry, Hastings," Luke's face eased a little, "As it said, business is business. This is one of the series of cooperations between us and Mr. Feng and nextdoor, and it is also a prerequisite, so I can't help you,"

Hastings was stunned for a long time, and tried to pat Luke on the shoulder twice, stood up dejectedly, and walked out with a gray face.

This is the second time he has heard Luke talk about the so-called series of agreements. If this is true, no matter how much effort he makes, it will be useless. Business is business. Imperial Commercial Bank cannot give up the cooperation agreement that is very beneficial to him because of his friendship with him.

"Then Luke, we will never see each other again," he said without looking back.

But he naturally said this too early - he just didn't know it at this time.

Luke looked at his back and shook his head, "Sorry Cummins,"

"I can fully understand that I think this can all be added to the category of force majeure," Cummins said with a smile.

He found that he was laughing a lot today, and there was no way. He was as happy as Hastings was at this time.

"I have to hurry up next, what do you think?" he said to Luke.

"I agree,"

…………

From yesterday afternoon to now, they took their daughter to Mount Royal, dungeon, and several famous churches in the city - Feng Yiping had never been to Rome, but people sent by the Imperial Commercial Bank said that there are so many Gothic churches here, even surpassing Rome.

I also ate all kinds of maple syrup-related delicacies, from ice cream to maple tarts that are only available in winter.

Now, in such weather, Feng Yiping, who was sweating on his body, walked into a cafe facing the street with his daughter in his arms.

The streets of Montreal, known as Little Paris, are also full of cafes. Influenced by French culture, these romantically decorated cafes and coffee customers do not have the standard equipment for Americans when drinking coffee - newspapers. They are just lazy and simply waste their time on this cup of coffee, just looking at the streets lazily, or just holding the hand of a partner beside them, and saying nothing.

As soon as Huang Jingping came in, she said, "I like this place,"

But Amanda pointed at the place she liked and asked her father to carry her over quickly, and there was naturally a counter where all kinds of snacks were placed.

"Amanda, ask mom, what is there that she doesn't like?"

Feng Yiping is really not a joke. Basically, when Huang Jingping goes to a place and says she likes a place, she will only see the good side of a city.

Of course this is a bit immature, but this also illustrates Huang Jingping's innocence from another perspective.

If a man is still innocent after getting married and having children, that is not a good thing, but it is a good thing for a woman to do this, especially for Feng Yiping now.

"What did you say?" Huang Jingping angrily glanced at him, "Of course I don't like something. Wow, Amanda, there are so many delicious foods here. I want this, this, and this,"

She ordered pudding, roasted fruit and maple caramel French toast, all of which were local specialties.

After the order was finished, I asked my daughter, "What do you want?"

Maybe I feel embarrassed, "Check, is it good?"

Amanda was still biting her little finger, her eyes lingering on the beautiful and charming snacks in the glass cabinet, and she didn't hear her mother at all.

"That's all, these are also a waste. I'll see how you finish eating,"

"Hehe, I won't have supper," Huang Jingping smiled.

Amanda was a child after all. After eating a few puddings, she listened to the gentle music. Soon, she fell asleep quietly in this quiet and warm cafe. "I grew so fast," Feng Yiping said to her daughter in the stroller.

"Ah, open your mouth," said Huang Jingping.

Feng Yiping followed her to stuff the bread that he couldn't finish into his mouth, "Well, the toast is soft and the maple sugar is fragrant, it's really good."

"Didn't you say that there are many agreements to negotiate in the past two days? And Cummins' acquisition, are you really not worried?" Huang Jingping asked.

"What's there to worry about," said Feng Yiping. "I asked many of them to help with things, and from the moment they are very competent,"

"No, that's not the case," Huang Jingping held his hand. "I think you have changed a lot compared to before,"

"Of course, I'm a child's father,"

"I'm not talking about this, what I'm talking about is, what do you say than before? Oh, be calm," Huang Jingping described it seriously.

"That's right?" Feng Yiping didn't pay attention to this.

"Yes, so she looks more graceful, more stylish, and more manly," she leaned forward and kissed Feng Yiping gently on the face.

The reason why she dared to do this was because everyone around her turned a blind eye to doing such a thing.

"You have also changed a lot," he said, holding Huang Jingping's hand.

"What's the matter," said Huang Jingping. "There's more than one kiss to the vest,"

It should be said that after having children, Feng Yiping is not the only one who changes.

"If you really become calm, besides you and your children, I think the other reason should be because you finally have a certain foundation," said Feng Yiping.

In the context of the new era, the country later made a statement that the people should live with dignity, but what is more difficult than this dignity is to be calm.

Like him, he was doing some unsuccessful small business, worrying about paying money to suppliers at the end of each month, worrying about preparing for stocks at the end of each year... How could he calmly get up?

"Luckily you just told me," Huang Jingping said, "I finally have a certain foundation now? If others hear you, they will definitely say you are arrogant."

That's right? You kid is only twenty-seven-red, and you have become the richest man in China and ranked among the top 100 in the world. Only then can you be considered "having a certain foundation?"

Even if you are excellent, this is still crazy.

"For me, that's true," Feng Yiping said. "Go and go back, otherwise the phone will come in a while."

…………

Back at the hotel, Cummins was waiting for him excitedly, "Feng," he waved the folder he was holding proudly.

“Signed?”

"Sign!" Cummins said excitedly, "You may not know that Hastings broke into our conference room early this morning."

"Ah? Why didn't I tell me about this?"

"Aren't you afraid of affecting your mood?" Cummins said. "So what if he comes? Still can't change anything,"

Listening to his vivid narration of Hastings's journey from forcing to leaving, Feng Yiping felt that this was really Hastings' style. Wasn't it the same when he competed for redbox last time?

"I'll call him," said Feng Yiping. Not only Netflix, but also Hastings, he also likes him, and he still needs to ease the relationship in time.

“Shut down?”

"Maybe it was on a flight back to Silicon Valley," Cummins guessed.

…………

Hastings is still in Montreal at this time. The reason why he turned off his phone was because he was considering important things.

It's not all about thinking. In the early stage, I just ran away like a trapped beast and ran away in the hotel room.

The situation was obvious, and the wolf finally came, and had stretched out his sharp claws.

However, Hastings actually found that he really had no good way to resist. Could it be that he just watched Netflix, which he founded, be acquired by others?

Thinking of Cummins' confidence, he looked forward to seeing him again at another shareholder. Hastings felt very frustrated. How can he stop it? Is there any way to stop it? Can it be stopped? (To be continued.)
