"Haha, resign? Have you added any more money to your cigarette? Are you so excited?" Hastings couldn't help laughing as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

This was founded by myself, strengthened with it, went public with it, and today with it with it, becoming a company that has become a leading company in the online leasing field. Why? Why?

"Didn't I tell you?" Randolph said. "I was very busy yesterday. Before three o'clock yesterday, I was very busy, very busy,"

"The result of my busy schedule is that the nine directors, including me, are right, you heard it right, there are 9 directors in total, and they agreed to accept your resignation as chairman of the board and the position of CEO in the company,"

Looking at the serious Randolph, Hastings couldn't laugh now, "Is this your idea?"

"How dare you? Why do you do this?" He looked a little ferocious.

"9? Who else?" He thought of another question.

If there are 9 directors, it means that in addition to Randolph, there is another director who serves as an executive who betrayed him.

"I think you know my reason, whether you believe it or not, I do it for our company, for you," Randolph said.

"For the company? For me?" Hastings walked around the office like a trapped beast. "Why did you become like this?"

"I haven't changed Hastings, you have changed," Randolph said, "because I only care about myself."

"The mastermind behind it is Mr. Feng, who is said to be highly valued by their country's leaders," Hastings sneered. "But, the young Mr. Feng doesn't understand. Do you understand, and the motion to remove me, as the chairman of the board, will only be approved by the shareholders' meeting."

"Yes, it's because we all know that we have prepared for so long. It's because we all know that I said, for your own good, you should quit your job voluntarily. Being dismissed at the shareholders' meeting will inevitably affect your reputation."

After Randolph said this, he seemed to be relieved, and he seemed to be exhausted. "Hastings, there is not much time left for you. If you disagree, we will propose to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. I don't want you to be dismissed by most people in full view of everyone."

Hastings originally wanted to ask, why are you sure that most shareholders will agree to this proposal?

But as soon as Randolph said so surely, he immediately understood that they had already obtained the consent of the majority shareholders, otherwise, where would Randolph have the confidence now?

As for why those shareholders agree, their lobbying is naturally related, but the company's recent sluggish performance is probably also the reason why those shareholders agree.

"You guessed it right," Randolph nodded at him, "Yes, we have received the consent of most shareholders,"

"So Hastings, quit voluntarily. Although I really don't want this, this will be the best result for you and the company,"

"Don't you want?" Hastings became angry, and he brushed a bunch of documents on his desk to the ground. "Don't you want?"

"You have arranged one by one, one by one to remove all my positions. Don't you want to?"

"Hastings, look outside, look outside and know that this is not my choice, it is the choice of all the people in the company,"

"The choice of all personnel?" Hastings suddenly pulled up the curtains and saw that many of the staff outside, including his secretary, were paying attention to this side. When he saw that he saw it, he quickly pretended to be busy.

However, in the distance, more people were whispering, looking in this direction of their office with complex eyes.

Hastings still knows his employees very well. He understands the expectations in the eyes of those employees. It turns out that they are also looking forward to being acquired by nextdoor?

Why do so many people don’t understand me?

He was a little unbelievable that this was true.

He rubbed his face hard, not believing in everything he is facing now.

He called another phone number, but, as before, the situation was very unhappy, the phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

Finally, when he called for the third time, the phone went out, "Exxon, it's me, listen to me, I've convinced Walmart that they are interested...,"

"Mr. Hastings," said over there.

Hastings's heart suddenly became cold when he heard Old Exxon call him Mr. Hearings's name, is this really irreversible?

"What are you still looking for me as an old guy? You can do whatever you want. Netflix is ​​your own company. You don't have to care about the opinions of us shareholders and directors," he said.

"Exxon, listen to me," Hastings was a little anxious for the first time. He felt a little sorry for his behavior for the first time. He shouldn't have turned a deaf ear to it after the board of directors had just clearly rejected the proposal to contact Walmart, and went to Walmart headquarters the next day.

"Although I had a very legitimate reason to go to Walmart. Although I was at Walmart and I did get the desired result, I apologize to you and the board of directors for my reckless behavior."

When encountering a crisis, people like him will also compromise.

In short, you must pass this level safely. Others can be discussed from a long-term perspective.

To get through this level safely, the support of the board is crucial - this is the sadness of most founders of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. After a round of financing, their own shares are only a small number.

When there are 12 directors on the board of directors, 9 of them are on their opposite side. Without asking, it is obvious that if the shareholders' meeting is held, the situation will not be optimistic.

"If you don't agree with the proposal to cooperate with Walmart, I respect everyone's opinions,"

"Hastings, it's all over, and now I'm not meaningful to say that, like Randolph, I'm very reluctant to do this, but for the sake of the company, I'm fully supportive of him, OK, I have an appointment, goodbye,"

But before hanging up the phone, Exxon called again, "Hastings,"

Hastings was delighted, "Hi, I'm here,"

Exxon paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "You, please do it yourself."

This time, the phone really hung up.

Hastings sat in a chair.

"These two are planned resignation applications," Randolph took out two pieces of paper from his bag and placed them on the table.

"Haha, it's true that it's well prepared," Hastings laughed smirked. "Mr. Feng, it's true that he's completely fine, and he's not missed."

"Randolph, for an outsider, you,"

"He is not an outsider. He and his affiliates hold a large number of Netflix shares," Randolph was completely unmoved at this time and took out another piece of paper. "This is the company's statement to the outside world, and you can also take a look,"

What he meant was that Hastings only had room for signature and could not change a word.

"You signed it, let me know," Randolph turned around and said at the office door.

"Bang," the desk lamp was thrown to the ground.

Randolph pulled up to the door and locked Hastings who was almost collapsed inside, "Don't let someone come in and disturb him," Randolph said to Hastings's secretary.

"Okay Mr. Randolph," said the young secretary.

After passing his own office, oh, when he used to be in the office, he stopped, and Wilson also walked out immediately, "Mr. Randolph, come in and sit?"

"No, thank you," Randolph looked at the layout that was completely different from that of him. "Sorry Wilson, I shouldn't have hit your car that day to vent my anger,"

"Where are," Wilson laughed, "I didn't understand the situation first. I didn't know the parking space I received, my office, and my position, all from you. I fully understand your mood at that time."

"Thank you for your understanding, so goodbye,"

"Wait, Mr. Randolph," Wilson called him, "and we didn't have the chance to get to know each other. I graduated from Stanford and have worked in Silicon Valley. I have served in many technology companies. My strength is customer service. Mr. Hastings hired me at the beginning and valued this strength."

"I think my ability can also serve Netflix in the future,"

After thinking about it, he didn't want to find another position so soon. Such a professional experience would definitely be a stain on his resume.

Besides, logically, Netflix after being acquired should be better than it is now.

"We'll see that, surely," Randolph said.

…………

Seattle, Coin Star's spokesman Marcy informed Zheng Jiayi, "Jessica, prepare, we will go to Silicon Valley tomorrow,"

"Really?" Zheng Jiayi was overjoyed. (To be continued.)
