In the ballroom, Jim Prologis of Twentieth Century Fox chatted with Michael Eisner and found that the Disney tyrant was too suffocating, so he took the initiative to end the unpleasant contact and walked towards the side closer to the terrace.

It's no wonder that Disney's people are rebelling, and they can't stand such a boss if they are themselves.

Jim Prologis spat a few words, and his eyes suddenly fell on the focus of the night.

Ronan Anderson was surrounded by another crowd.

Among them are a few familiar faces, from Wall Street's Lloyd Blankfein, the chief operating officer and president of Goldman Sachs.

Howard Johnson, senior president of Morgan Stanley, and CEO of Merrill Lynch......

Taken together, these people represent an extremely large capital force.

They're laughing and talking to Ronan Anderson.

Relativity Entertainment is about to be supported by the big capital group, and Jim Prologis has also learned that Netflix is preparing for listing, and Wall Street is generally optimistic about this Internet company, and it is said that Wall Street's expectations for Netflix far exceed Google, which went public this year.

Successful listing means abundant funds, more and stronger partners, as well as a broader platform and development prospects.

Ronan Anderson shares his most anticipated Internet company with Capital Group, and there will be a lot of people supporting him for at least a long time.

Relativity Entertainment may take advantage of this wave to accelerate its development again.

Hollywood wants to stop him, and it is even more difficult.

At least not Twentieth Century Fox alone.

Jim Prologis shook his head, the six major Hollywood companies have never been united, tacit suppression is okay, but it is impossible to unite against a single company.

"If Netflix wants to continue to grow rapidly, going public is a must. ”

In the center of this small circle of Wall Street people, Ronan said eloquently: "Netflix also needs to rely on your strength to develop, and we welcome every investment institution to invest in Netflix." ”

The men were all nodding, and Ronan's attitude was what they liked.

Again, this guy they love.

The development of Netflix has proven Ronan Anderson's vision and decision-making ability, and investing in a company led by such a person can give people the feeling of being reliable when investing in Microsoft.

These people have been involved in more than one investment, and they all know very well the importance of a good leader to the rapid growth of the company.

Today, they are here and have already shown their attitude - they are extremely interested in investing in Netflix on the NASDAQ in the future.

Netflix is preparing to go public with the help of Goldman Sachs, and it is very likely that the Nasdaq will usher in a star stock next year.

Ronan added: "But the listing can't be rushed, the more fully prepared Netflix is, the greater the future development potential." ”

Lloyd Blankfein continued: "Ronan is absolutely right, we are expecting high returns, be patient and wait. ”

Morgan Stanley's Howard Johnson also said: "We'll wait for the moment when Netflix goes public. ”

"Hope for surprises. Someone said.

Before a company goes public, there is a lot of preparation, and often even the investors have already been found.

The reception was very successful, and many people did not leave Los Angeles after the reception, such as the major mobile phone manufacturers plus Netflix and Qualcomm, who talked with the Los Angeles Federation and reached a lot of intentions.

Some people on Wall Street went to the San Francisco Bay Area to see and learn about Netflix's business on the ground.

Netflix is not the kind of company that blows up the concept and has a fast-growing business as a support, especially the streaming business has reached the final stage of preparation and will be launched soon.

At the same time, with the help of Relativity Entertainment and Embassy Pictures, Netflix signed contracts with a number of overseas film companies, including the UK's Red Bus Pictures, Luc Besson's Europa Pictures, and Germany's Constantine Films, before Christmas, and obtained more Internet licenses related to film and television works.

Netflix's DVD rental and sales business has completely surpassed the traditional rental industry led by Pepsi and has become an important peripheral channel in Hollywood.

Nowadays, DVD is the most important profit point in the film industry, and the revenue that Netflix can create through this peripheral channel has reached a point that no film company can ignore.

Even Twentieth Century Fox temporarily put aside the contradiction with Relativistic Entertainment and reached a library licensing agreement with Netflix.

So far, among Hollywood's medium and large film companies, only Paramount Pictures, which belongs to the same Viacom Group as Pepsi, has not opened its film library to Netflix.

Netflix has not slowed down the speed of copyright convergence overseas, although in many markets in the future, such as the other side of the Pacific, Netflix will definitely not be able to enter, but Netflix will inevitably take the road of internationalization.

At the very least, the Western market is open to Netflix.

Ronan didn't have the luxury of hoping that Netflix would be able to enter the market on the other side of the Pacific, and if nothing else, the piracy problem would be difficult to solve.

At one time, he could also be said to be a direct beneficiary of the rampant piracy.

How many people are staring at the high-definition version on the Internet, various download tools are emerging one after another, and some people even play themselves in prison.

Besides, there will be a territorial protection strategy everywhere, and Ronan did not expect Netflix to share access to all markets in the world.

The licensing fee for overseas films is very low, and there are no industry regulations such as Hollywood, Netflix has reached licensing agreements with many overseas companies one after another, and by the time Christmas comes, the Netflix network has owned nearly 100,000 Internet-related rights to films and TV series.

It's a very large library of titles that will provide ample support for the upcoming streaming business.

At the same time, Netflix has 14 million paying subscribers and has rented and sold 500 million DVDs.

This series of data has attracted the attention of the Netflix network.

Coupled with the sharing of Netflix, which is currently the first to brush up on all kinds of fierce materials in the black movement, Netflix has become a veritable star company in Silicon Valley.

The limelight has even overshadowed Google, which just went public this year.

Lehman Brothers quietly contacted Ronan again and offered to invest in Netflix, but not after Netflix went public on the NASDAQ, but now.

They made an offer that looked like it was impossible to be rejected at all.

The price of a single share is $80 to acquire a 10% stake in Netflix for $1.6 billion.

In other words, Lehman Brothers' valuation of Netflix reached $16 billion!

In August this year, Google went public with a single issue price of $85 and a total market capitalization of $23 billion.

Listing is not only finance and mathematics, but also a kind of magic, and there are not a few listed magic tricks that have been favored and played badly in the past.

Judging by Google's listing, Lehman Brothers' offer for Netflix is once again quite good.

But today's Netflix is not the Netflix it once was.

After Relativity Entertainment became the owner of Netflix, Ronan provided not only development ideas and future decisions, but also relatively abundant funds, Netflix on the basis of the original DVD rental and sales business, but also developed two major businesses of video and social networking, won Android, is actively building a smartphone alliance, and the next streaming media business will also be listed.

Not to mention the future of Lehman Brothers, from Wall Street's attitude towards Netflix, it is not difficult for people like Ronan to analyze that the future listing of Netflix will at least not be worse than Google.

Therefore, Ronan did not hesitate to reject Lehman Brothers' hand of friendship once again.

Soon, rumors began to circulate that some Wall Street companies would snipe Netflix's IPO plan.

But Netflix didn't fight on its own, and Goldman Sachs quickly stepped up to stabilize the situation.

Lloyd Blankfein directly pointed out at the board of directors of Goldman Sachs that the operation of this Netflix listing and financing, Goldman Sachs' efforts may be more than ten times the return in the future!

The development data of the Netflix network in the past two years provided by him quickly convinced Goldman Sachs.

As long as it's profitable, Goldman Sachs doesn't mind standing with the devil.

On Wall Street, money never sleeps.

Mark Randolph's talks with Qualcomm and several major mobile phone manufacturers have also ended temporarily after reaching several preliminary intentions.

A Netflix network that is not strong enough, let alone dominates the alliance, and it is very difficult to even promote the formation of the alliance.

The business alliance can only be discussed step by step, and the key is still in the network itself.

Compared to Netflix, Pepsi has fallen into a difficult situation.

Seventy percent of Americans once found a Pepsi chain within a 10-minute drive, and at its peak, Pepsi had more than 8,000 brick-and-mortar stores across the U.S., which can be said to be the extreme.

Over the past two years, Pepsi has continued to lay off struggling branches, and now there are only more than 5,000 stores left in the United States.

In addition, Viacom's acquisition of Bestcard is more out of capital operation needs, and it is not particularly concerned about Best, and it draws a large amount of cash flow from Bestcard every year.

Sam Lei Shidong directly dismissed the CEO of Bestell, replaced a new helmsman who knows more about the Internet industry, and is ready to transform Beskind into the Internet rental industry.

A huge aircraft carrier, or the kind with loopholes everywhere, is not an ordinary difficulty to complete a U-turn in an extremely short time.

Netflix has left other companies too far away in the Internet rental and sales business of DVDs.

When Christmas arrives, Ronan throws a Christmas party at his home, inviting friends who are not in Los Angeles and are single.

Somewhat surprisingly, Angela Lindwo, the old fox, also came when she heard about it.

"I may not be able to meet it in the future. ”

After the party, Angela Lindwo said to Ronan, "Just make a last memorial." ”

Of course, Ronan will not be rude to rush people, and he must meet the needs of guests.

Angela Lindwo went upstairs to take a shower first, leaving Ronan to see off the other guests.

Sending James Wing away, Ronan receives a text message: The battery has been erected, when will the gunner be in place?
