Chapter 461 Mixed joys and sorrows

Ron Mayer on the other side of the phone had a low attitude and earnest words. Even Randolph, who had heard or guessed the general content of their call, looked excited at this moment.

Feng Yiping is right. The company has been established for so many years, and although its achievements are very gratifying, in the field of DVD rental, although it has not been able to profoundly change the status of this industry as Hastings said, it is undoubtedly a successful company.

After further investigation, I have been working for Hollywood and the US Postal Service.

However, from these two parties, they rarely receive the respect they deserve, and at least they do not receive the treatment of their partners.

He could never forget that at the beginning of the company, in order to reduce the damage to mail DVDs and improve customer satisfaction, they finally had to participate in the entire mailing process and find the reasons themselves.

It took several hundred hours to observe a few large regional postal centers alone, and finally found that if you do not sort through high-speed rotating barrels with standard mail, and use conveyor belts with specialized sorting magazines and other large flat mails, the damage rate will be greatly reduced.

After negotiations with the postal company, in order to enter the conveyor belt sorting system, I had to design my own envelope from scratch and make other changes - you should know that the company was already a major customer of the postal company.

As for these large film and television companies in Hollywood, well, that sounds even more bitter.

Although they have created huge profits for them every year outside of the cinema, not only does they have no say in bargaining, but executives of those large companies also compare several other DVD sales and leasing institutions. Netflix always purchases some videos that are not popular, so the price is low, and the purchase volume is not as large as those of Blockbuster and others...

Although they were quite unhappy, they could only endure it.

There is no way, because for Netflix, these Hollywood film companies are the source of their own company's revenue. Putting aside Netflix will not have a fatal impact on their business, but Netflix is ​​completely inseparable from them.

When can I see a person of the vice president who is of such a sincere call to apologize?

Netflix's new life is indeed a real life.

Now he really wants to take the phone from Ma Ling's hand and talk to him.

But Ma Ling's condition seems to be a bit wrong?

Indeed, listening to the apology of Ron Meyer and looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Ma Ling was now a little dazed.

She understood a little why her father was so keen on work when she was a child and gave up many opportunities to reunite with her family.

Because at work, you can get a sense of accomplishment that you can't get at home, just like you are now.

Randolph couldn't help but cough to remind him.

Ma Ling then realized, "Mr. Mayer, I can understand that there are too many videos uploaded by enthusiastic users now, and we have been reviewing them nervously, but we will put your company's trailer in a prominent position as soon as possible," he said.

Since she had already bowed her head there, she made a promise very readily.

Because she has been talking about work issues with Feng Yiping recently, she knows more than many people that the company will always be partners with these film and television companies for a long time in the future. It is still very important to handle the relationship with them well.

At least it is not possible to be arrogant.

Of course, with the introduction of the company's subsequent measures, Netflix will no longer have unilateral needs from each other with these film and television companies in the future, but will need each other.

Therefore, in future cooperation, the relevant voice will be improved step by step.

I made a phone call myself and it was a good thing to get such a result. "Thank you Miss Ma Ling,"

"You're welcome, but Mr. Mayer, we can't help with these things, how many people are following and how high the number of clicks can be."

"Understand, but I believe this will not be a problem," he was still quite confident about his movie.

"Then, I will visit you in Hollywood as soon as possible," he made a concession. In the next step, it was naturally Hollywood's turn to take action.

"Very welcome! In addition, I have sent Anthony, who is responsible for marketing, to Silicon Valley, and he will discuss specific matters with you."

"Okay, goodbye,"

"They sent someone here too?" Randolph asked immediately.

"Yes,"

"Okay," Randolph couldn't help but slap heavily.

This is the first time in the history of executives from several major Hollywood film companies.

This can definitely be called a milestone event in the company's history.

From now on, although Netflix and Hollywood cannot be called a disagreement between the host and the guest, it is definitely not the same as before.

If the development continues smoothly according to Feng's plan, the words that Hastings used to say, "Change the state of this industry," will no longer be a boastful word or an expectation, but will become a real reality.

"Not seeing them now?"

"No, the key issue we want to discuss is that the people who are coming now cannot make a decision. Their trip is just to express the attitude of their respective companies."

"In addition, don't you think it's not a good thing to let these peers have time to gather together?" Ma Ling said with a smile.

"This is a good arrangement," Randolph smiled a little sly, "I have to give enough time for those guys in Hollywood to communicate more in Silicon Valley."

The peers are enemies, and the companies in Hollywood are no exception.

Randolph is now looking forward to what kind of intrigue will be like when these guys get together for scarce resources like youtube.

No matter what, it is a good thing for him and the company.

"Yiping has already arrived there, at least we have to wait tonight,"

…………

Shortly after Ron Mayer and Ma Ling were on the phone, Anthony from Global rushed to Silicon Valley.

This is not his first time to come to Netflix, but this is his first time to take a taxi from the airport to Netflix.

Even so, the youtube staff responded to him, "Sorry, the director has no time today,"

"Can you confirm when will you have time?" Anthony didn't expect that he would be so humble to a company related to Netflix.

But when he thought of Ron Meyer's explanation, his attitude improved a little more.

"I should be able to take time tomorrow," although the reply was a bit ambiguous, what else could it do? Who told me that it was my turn to ask for someone now?

"This is the hotel where your colleagues from several other companies stayed in," the receptionist gave him a business card very considerately.

"Thanks,"

This is very timely, at least he can't call himself.

Putting down his luggage, he hurried to the hotel bar. Sure enough, Universal Brothers, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Sony/Columbia..., everyone he is familiar with is here.

"Ha, Anthony is here, and I'll say he will come," Warner Bros. Clark yelled, holding a bottle of beer, "I won, give the money,"

These guys actually bet on themselves?

"Hi, Clark, hello, Hi Black…," Anthony smiled and greeted the guys, "You all came early, how about you? Have you met?"

"Don't you know?" Clark said, "they plan to see us together tomorrow."

Anthony was inevitably a little uncomfortable, and met with executives from several major companies at one time, which was probably something that even the executive president of the American Film Association was difficult to do.

"Did they agree to your company's request?" Anthony asked dismissively.

"I agree," Clark said, "but, don't know if you noticed, they're talking about this time,"

"Will they still disagree next time?"

"It's not that there is no possibility. If you don't have a good deal with Netflix in terms of accounting," Clark said.

"It's also possible that we won't be able to upload for free in the future," said Paramount's Black.

Although Anthony was unwilling to accept it, he thought that this was not unreasonable.

"Anyway, this mission will be very successful, right?" Anthony said.

How can these people do the right thing if they share the accounts?

"I'm not that optimistic," Clark said.

"Why?" Anthony felt that he was a bit mysterious.

"You still remember that Sean Parker," Clark asked suddenly.

"Of course I still remember," Napster, a free music download website established by Sean Parker, can be said to have completely changed the current situation of American music. Since then, fewer people have chosen to buy music albums.

Several of their companies have their own music departments, and the Sean Parker incident is very impressive to them.

But, what does this have to do with what happened today?

"You know Apple's music store, too?"

"Of course," the appearance of Apple Music Store actually means taking advantage of the situation.

"Do you know that this Feng is a senior consultant to Jobs?"

Someone really doesn't care about this, but after Clark said this, everyone immediately thought about the connection, "You mean, that's related to Feng?"

"Yes, I heard Paul talk about it. They went to Apple to negotiate, and the host of the later stage was this Feng,"

Warner Music’s Paul Vedic still remembers that negotiation.

"Oh," the people present became more serious.

"One more thing," Clark took a big sip of wine, "Paul said, according to Jobs, Apple's music store project was first proposed by Mr. Feng."

"How is that possible?" Some people shouted out on the spot.

"It's very simple. You can check with someone who participated in the negotiations in your record company that year," Clark said.

"Since his previous move was equivalent to shaping the main market model of music products, do you think his purpose this time is so simple?"

Everyone was silent after hearing this, yes, can it be that simple? Netflix bought his own company for billions of dollars.
