Chapter 437 Target HBO
The employees who were left behind in the upper floor and in the next building couldn't help but look at the side where the meeting was being held. What did Mr. Feng say that made everyone so excited?
If they are present, they will be excited.
As Feng Yiping said, the biggest advantage of the original Netflix is that the integrated USB flash drives the next day service provided by them in the area where they built their warehouses.
If this cannot be achieved, Netflix's competitiveness is actually not enough to compete with Blockbuster.
We can think of this. If there is a merchant with a large number of offline outlets and a slightly higher price, which can provide so many products provided by Taobao, can Taobao be so successful?
However, if we follow what Feng Yiping said, Netflix can finally be called a well-deserved high-tech company.
Everyone was so enthusiastic that Feng Yiping had to stand there with a smile for a few minutes, but cheers came one after another. Finally, he had to wave his hands one after another, temporarily stopping the excited people in the audience, "But, is this our ultimate goal?"
The audience calmed down again. I thought it was right before, but since you asked that, it must be not.
Some people are still excitedly digesting the content of Feng Yiping's speech, and some are beginning to think about this new business model, what is the most suitable process, what is the weak link, or where is the uncontrollable link, and then, according to Feng Yiping's "continuously subverting" view, we will deduce the next new direction.
Soon, some people came to the point.
"The problem is that we buy a DVD, although it costs nearly $20, the benefit of buying a DVD is that a DVD, the actual media rights allow us to reuse it. On average, our customers may only need to spend less than $1 to watch a movie, which is the biggest advantage of our rental DVD,"
"But, in the electronic media market, production companies may think that even if you only watch it once, it will cost $20. Of course, we can talk to them about the sharing of the accounts. Our company's most core technology, which is our recommendation engine, will still ensure that 70% of the sales we sell are old or unpopular movies that can be obtained at low prices," he said.
"But, I believe everyone has understood that we are still working for the media group, and are still automatically becoming their vassals, and are still being strangled by them."
He shook his head, "This is not what I hope for Netflix, either."
"I think it's definitely not what everyone hopes, right?" he asked.
No one answered, but the expressions on everyone's faces said it all.
"Since that's the case," Feng Yiping pointed his hand up, "Why don't we make our own movies or TV series?"
"Why can't we become a media company?" He asked with bright eyes.
Well, now, even the people on youtube were stunned. They knew you could play, but they didn’t know you could play so well.
"We are going to be a media company, and a high-tech media company with unique advantages," he said, clenching his fist.
"The reason why we say it is high-tech is that we use cloud computing to count some of the data on streaming media we are pushing through the website, such as our subscribers, what type of movies do they like the most? What kind of movies do they like the most? What directors do they like the most? What plots do they like the most? So much so that they will watch these plots repeatedly; they don't like the most, so they will press fast forward those plots?..."
"These data are the most valuable first-hand information, which is our unique advantages. These data will ensure that the film and television dramas we produce will become classics at the beginning of creation. Unlike traditional media companies, they either bet or launch pilot episodes to test everyone's reactions."
"So, colleagues, let us stand higher and see further. Our goal is to become the leading high-tech media company in China,"
"Don't just be obsessed with competing with Blockbuster or Wal-Mart," he waved his hand lightly. "They will either go bankrupt in the future or wait for us to acquire," he said.
"Our opponent is the one located in the lower Manhattan area, and our opponent is hbo!"
After he said this, there were not many people in the venue who could remain calm.
That's hbo! It almost monopolizes the paid TV channel of the United States! The hbo, which is well-known for its high praise for its works! Behind it is Time Warner's hbo!
"Yes, I know, that's hbo, but, it's hbo!"
This is actually an inevitable matter. Netflix's future development, which is also paid video, will inevitably conflict with hbo. "But think about our advantages, don't we have confidence?"
"Relying on traditional postal delivery DVDs, we have more than 1.5 million subscribers. Through the bonus of streaming on the YouTube website, plus the core technologies related to the Internet, and unique user data, we can have at least 3 million subscribers this year. By next year, we will attract more than 5 million people to become our subscribers with very low operating costs...,"
“With youtube, we can also push our video services to most parts of the world. I am very confident that in 10 years, our subscribers will exceed 50 million, surpassing hbo, which is a matter of course.”
Feng Yiping was not just bragging nonsense. Netflix later did this, and he believed that he could do better now.
"As a result, our Netflix future development will have three main aspects: online and offline combined DVD rentals supported by Redbox; online streaming media; and our own media company that produces high-quality content,"
"These three aspects, mutual promotion and interaction, will make us the leading high-tech media company in China. This is Netflix in my mind."
"I also sincerely hope that all colleagues can work with me to achieve such goals. Thank you everyone,"
Feng Yiping finally ended his speech, which lasted only less than twenty minutes in total.
The scene was quiet for a moment, and with the sparse applause, soon the scene was filled with sounds.
Everyone came to listen to Feng Yiping's speech on future plans with peace of mind. The requirements were not high, and they hoped that the company could develop stably and that their current work would not be affected by this merger and acquisition.
Of course, they hope that Feng Yiping, who is very good at business operations, can defeat Blockbuster, which is currently chasing very tightly, and Walmart, a giant that is also engaged in DVD online business leasing.
The video website proposed by Feng Yiping has already made them very satisfied and made them disregardless of the competition. The subsequent media companies' ideas were much beyond everyone's expectations.
However, for young people, no matter how capable they are, at least they have high ambitions. It is naturally difficult for Netflix to become a company like HBO, but that is really excellent!
Many people still don’t notice it even though they’re slapped their hands.
Ma Ling also turned into a fan girl, and couldn't help but applaud and scream with everyone. This kind of man with ideas, ambition and confidence is really charming. I hope Vincent will be like his father when he grows up.
Susan thought that this new boss, no matter what other aspects, was indeed amazing in terms of business layout.
"Thank you, thank you," Feng Yiping shook hands with the excited employees who surrounded him one by one, all of which were short and powerful. "See you at the celebration dinner tomorrow night,"
This is such a big merger, and both parties to the acquisition are located in Silicon Valley, so the company prepares a celebration dinner in San Jose tomorrow night.
"Thank you everyone," Randolph brought Irving and the others in, almost snatching Feng Yiping out of the enthusiastic crowd.
"I originally just hoped you could encourage everyone, but I didn't expect this to work so well," Randolph touched the sweat on his forehead.
That sweat was mostly due to excitement and joy.
Feng Yiping turned around and looked around. In the crowd, Ma Ling glanced at him in a sympathetic manner, discussed enthusiastically with the people in the team, and went to the company's restaurant.
"Haha, Feng's public speech will have such an effect," said Merbuck.
Mike said the question is more realistic, "Where to eat, I feel that I have a very good appetite today,"
"Yes, after listening to Feng's speech, I felt like I had a big appetite," Cummins said.
They are not the only ones who have a big appetite. Today, Netflix employees, both men and women, all have big appetites.
However, Hastings, who soon received the recording of Feng Yiping's speech, felt that he had no appetite... (To be continued.)
