Chapter 652
【Juke Wald joins hands with Netflix!】
This is a huge title!
It is also the front page headline of the California Entertainment News today.
The California Entertainment News published an article saying: "At 10 o'clock last night, Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, a well-known online DVD rental service provider, met with Mr. Juke Wald. The two sides had a close conversation in the hotel for more than an hour. It is reported that Mr. Wald is likely to become the new major shareholder of Netflix!"
As soon as the news came out, other media peers immediately saw it.
"California Entertainment? Juke Wald's hardcore dog-legged!"
Lawson Hotsky, editor-in-chief of the California Express newspaper, sneered: "Anything that guy named Juke Wald can be extremely magnified and make a front-page headline, and even more so, a special report that lasts for many days."
"Well, the Los Angeles Entertainment News is also one of the hardcore dog-legged ones!"
"The low downside of these two media outlets is really disgusting!"
The words fell.
Everyone around nodded together.
They agree with this sentence in a great way!
"Boss, then we don't care?" an executive tentatively said.
"Silly guy!"
Editor-in-chief Lawson Hotsky immediately cursed: "I'm not afraid of it, but can't you get along with the money?"
"Uh, boss, you mean..." the executive immediately asked.
Editor-in-chief Lawson Hotsky shouted righteously: "I'm going to teach you all the time. Do you need me to teach you? Go and write an article! If you slow down, we can't even drink soup!"
“Yes, boss!”
Everyone responded.
For a moment, Roda's office was empty, leaving only editor-in-chief Lawson Hotsky.
Lawson muttered to himself: "Although I hate Juke Wald, this extremely lucky guy, you have to admit... he is very popular and always sells well whenever he involves his media and newspapers."
California News is in action!
Other American media colleagues did not respond slowly, and took the same action one after another, writing articles quickly and quickly reported the news that Zuckermi met with the founder of Netflix.
......
Netflix.
Bang!
A huge sound came out.
Dai Nong West, a shareholder representative of Barclays Bank in Netflix, threw more than a dozen media newspapers including the California Entertainment News and the California Express on the desk of CEO Reed Hastings.
"Look, you have a good look at these media newspapers, I need an explanation!"
Dai Nong West's face flushed and he asked loudly.
CEO Reed Hastings didn't even raise his head, busy working on his own, and said, "Explanation? Do I need to explain to you? The company's C round of financing and share expansion are about to begin. As the founder and major shareholder of the company, I have the right to invite Mr. Juke Wald to join."
Dai Nong West immediately smiled angry.
"Okay, you did a good job!"
"You have the right to invite him to join the competition for the C round of financing, but don't forget that once the board of directors is opened, more than half of the votes will be opposed, so that damn guy Juke Wald, he won't even think about joining Netflix's board of directors!"
Daino West gritted his teeth.
CEO Reed Hastings just raised his head and smiled faintly: "Then let's meet the truth on the board."
"you!!!"
Denon West was really angry and pointed at Reed Hastings's hand in the air, trembling with anger.
He slammed the door and left!
Soon, George Smith, the shareholder representative of the American BlackRock Group in Netflix, also came.
He also opposes Zucker's participation in Netflix's Series C financing competition!
In the afternoon of that day...
Netflix's interim board of directors was held.
The initiator of this board meeting was West and Smith, and there was only one issue, which was to prevent Juke Wald from entering the venue.
Dai Nong West looked around the shareholders and shareholder representatives and said loudly: "I would like to emphasize again that Juke Wald is a dragon. He is the one who turned the counter-attack on Mifyke (anti-virus) company and kicked McAfee founder George Samenuk out of the company by extremely bad means."
"He is still very rich!"
"Can we let this kind of person with malicious intentions and wealthy enter the market?"
"Aren't you worried that your shares will be taken away by that guy Juke Wald using despicable means?!"
"In a word, I don't agree with the introduction of Juke Wald!"
The British Barclays represented by Daino West are old enemies with Zhuke. This time, he opposes Zhuke's entry into Netflix, which is also the opinion of Barclays' headquarters.
For a moment, everyone present began to whisper.
The shares were diluted and taken away, which was considered to be in their hearts. These shareholders naturally expressed great concerns, especially the small shareholders with very low holdings.
"Ahem~"
George Smith coughed a few lightly, attracting everyone's eyes to himself, "Everyone, I think I need to say a few words."
Everyone nodded slightly.
George Smith continued: "If Netflix wants to gain more market share and even say it will defeat Blockbuster, then there is no doubt that it needs more funds to seek development. Two words - burn money!"
"This is the purpose of the company's opening of a Series C financing."
"I admit that Juke Wald is very rich, but I have to say one more thing. The American BlackRock Group I represent is not short of money, and the headquarters has made a commitment that in the C round of financing, our BlackRock Group will also choose to continue to follow up on the investment!"
The two sang and reunited.
Denon West talked about Zhuke's past bad behavior and evaluated Zhuke's extremely despicable human nature;
George Smith only said one point, that is, the company he represents is not short of money, and can allow Netflix to burn money with confidence;
The two...No, to be precise, the company behind them is firmly opposed to Zhuke's entry!
The two of them also believe that most of the shares will stand on their side. After all, in the past, 99% of the board of directors voting sessions were all won by them.
However......
The two of them were stunned for the result of this voting!
With a voting approval rate of more than 53%, it supports Zucker in the competition for Netflix's Series C financing!
"This, this, this, how is this possible?"
Dai Nong West glared in anger and asked loudly: "Are you all idiots? He knew that Juke Wald was not easy to meet, but he agreed to let him participate!"
As soon as this was said, a shareholder with a shareholding of only 1.2% said coldly: "Pay attention to your words, West! Whether I vote for voting for voting or against voting, I am exercising the sacred rights granted to me by the law, and you have no right to interfere."
"you!"
Dai Nong West was extremely angry and his heart was filled with anger.
Compared to Daino West's usual arrogance and domineering attitude, George Smith seems to be very good at being.
After the board meeting, he pulled over a small shareholder with whom he was close to and began to ask.
The small shareholder spread his hands and said helplessly: "Although I don't like Zhuke, you have to admit that he does have a set. Netflix is currently developing well and has received support from Toshiba. However, if we want to make a profit as quickly as possible, we must win the support of Hollywood companies. Wald Pictures under Wald Zucker's name is a big company that does not choose Bucao, and has a library of more than 2,000 movies."
After saying that, the small shareholder left.
George Smith's face turned pale and his fists were clenched.
.........
That night.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings visited Zhuke again and informed Zhuke of the board's decision.
"Man, how did you do it? And it's still so fast."
Zhuke was very curious.
According to news from Zucker, Reed Hastings has a good say in Netflix, but every board resolution is basically a victory for major shareholders of major companies such as Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group.
Zhuke asked again: "Before, I believe you've managed all this, but I guess you've taken at least half a month."
Hastings smiled mysteriously: "It's no big deal, just some tricks that can't be put on the table."
From beginning to end, Zhuke didn't know how Hastings allowed more than half of the shareholders to stand on his side, but it didn't matter. What's important is that Zhuke was about to get what he wanted.
Hastings left half an hour later.
Alexander raised his eyebrows: "Boss, you are optimistic about Netflix, or you are optimistic about this online DVD rental model. Why don't you build one yourself? After all, based on your financial resources, you can achieve these."
“Haha~”
Zucker narrowed his eyes.
Chapter completed!
