Just after the New Year, Netflix held a New Year's cocktail party, which was not only a routine event, but also a celebration of the company's market capitalization exceeding 100 billion.

Looking at the United States, companies with a market value of 100 billion dollars are only a few to talk about, and General Electric and ExxonMobil, which are at the top, have a market value of more than 300 billion.

In terms of market capitalization alone, Netflix even surpasses Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch as shareholders and investors.

However, market capitalization is not an indication of a company's true strength.

A black Bentley sedan stopped in front of the hotel, and Ronan got out of the car first, then turned around and took Jessica Filton from the car and walked to the hotel door together.

Jessica Felton dressed up tonight and immediately attracted a large number of reporters at the door.

Security guards cut off reporters from various media outlets, including entertainment, finance, and social affairs, but they couldn't stop them from asking questions.

"Mr. Anderson!" "What do you think about the Netflix network's market capitalization of more than 100 billion dollars?"

Someone almost shouted: "Mr. Anderson, aren't you excited to become the first billionaire in history to be worth more than 100 billion dollars?"

Without saying a word, Ronan took Jessica Felton by the hand and walked towards the hotel door.

And even Jessica Filton didn't let go of the reporter: "Miss Filton, is it stressful to be the girlfriend of a billionaire?"

"You're with Ronan Anderson, is it because of his money?"

"Are you going to get married?"

The questions asked were varied, and even some of the entertainment reporters were excessive.

While these issues are despised by their counterparts in finance and social politics, entertainment journalists simply don't care.

Their bottom line is far lower than that of their peers.

But Jessica Felton has enough knowledge over the years, and has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with media reporters, and without saying a word, she followed Ronan into the hotel in silence.

Immediately, a Netflix network staff member came over and led the two along the red carpet towards the banquet hall.

Jessica Filton straightened her dress a little and whispered to Ronan, "They're like a pack of wolves. ”

Ronan also lowered his voice and praised: "The main thing is that you are too beautiful." ”

Jessica Filton was self-aware and told the big truth: "The main thing is that you're too rich. Oh, the richest man in the United States, the richest man in the world, the first billionaire in history, the most successful investor in the world...... This list of titles makes me a little dizzy. ”

"Don't worry about that. Ronan said calmly, "I'm still me." ”

Jessica Filton understood what this meant, and nodded her head slightly: "I know, so I've always been relieved and never bothered by this." ”

After nearly a decade of editing, post-production and producers, she has also accumulated a net worth of tens of millions of dollars.

I have enough money in my own right, so I naturally won't be bothered by money.

Anyone who has had enough life experience knows very well that there are too many problems in this world, and they are all about money.

The two entered the ballroom and were greeted by Mark Randolph, CEO of the Netflix network, who greeted the guests, and immediately greeted him and shook Ronan's hand.

"We did it!" Mark Randolph held Ronan's hand tightly, thinking of the situation when Relativity Entertainment had just acquired Netflix, and said, "I didn't expect that we would do it so quickly!"

Ronan smiled and said, "You and the entire management team have done a lot of work. ”

After a few casual conversations, Ronan took Jessica Felton into the banquet hall, and there was an endless stream of people who came to greet him.

There are too many people who want to have a relationship with Ronan.

Steve Jobs walked over with his wife, and the two greeted Ronan and Jessica Felton and split into two small circles.

"Congratulations, Ronan. "Steve Jobs is getting older.

Ronan laughed, "Congratulations to us." ”

Steve Jobs said: "As it turns out, I was right, Netflix is my most successful investment. ”

Just as Steve Jobs' biggest source of assets was Disney's shares, today's Jobs is also Netflix's shares.

Ronan said seriously: "Netflix will not disappoint. ”

Steve Jobs nodded slightly, and said: "What I am most concerned about now is, when will Netflix have a market value of more than $200 billion?"

Ronan is confident: "It will be, but it will take time." ”

He had a vague impression that when Steve Jobs died, Apple's market value was about $200 billion.

"Today, Netflix is a leading company in the Internet industry. Steve Jobs said: "The business is growing rapidly, and other companies are not even able to catch up in the short term. ”

He asked curiously, "Netflix's main business originally came from you. Ronan, you always have so many ideas, I want to hire you as Apple's chief creative officer. ”

Ronan didn't answer him, but asked, "How is Apple's second-generation phone developed?"

Steve Jobs said vaguely: "It's in research and testing, and I'm not sure when it will be on the market for the time being." He suddenly asked, "Apple is going to issue a batch of bonds, Ronan, you are a shareholder of Apple, are you interested?"

Ronan knew about it, Goldman Sachs was the dealer of the bonds, and Jobs's wife, Laurenna, was the middleman.

Laurenna Jobs worked at Goldman Sachs as a fixed income analyst, and the relationship brought the two companies closer.

Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, among others, are currently typical Apple Blows and Netflix Blows.

Of course, capital is ruthless, and when there is a greater good, they will also change their position.

After chatting for a while, the Steve Jobs couple went somewhere else.

Ronan had just fetched a glass of water for Jessica Felton when Robert Iger appeared in front of the two.

"Good evening, both. Robert Iger looked at Jessica Felton, "Jesse, can you lend your boyfriend some time?"

Jessica Felton smiled and said, "Of course. She turned to Ronan and said, "I'll talk to Mary for a while." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Go ahead." ”

Waiting for Jessica Felton to leave, Robert Iger said: "I have checked carefully, Lehman Brothers' problem should be serious, and it has not been made public yet, but they have a very difficult hurdle. ”

Ronan asked, "What are the plans of Goldman Sachs and other investment banks?"

Robert Iger whispered: "They're happy to see their competitors finished, and they might be ready to push and grab a handful." ”

"You're professional in this area. Ronan is well aware of Robert Iger's abilities, and he is a good merger and acquisition player: "Find the right time to negotiate with Lehman Brothers. ”

Robert Iger said: "As long as the price is right, they won't not sell it. ”

"That's the best, the plan has to be realized step by step," Ronan said. ”

Robert Iger smiled like Mickey Mouse: "I'm ready with the manpower and the money. He saw a few people and reminded, "The Goldman Sachs is here." ”

Before Lloyd Blankfein could get closer, he stretched out his right hand to Ronan: "Ronan, you haven't been to New York for a long time, have you forgotten my old friend?"

Ronan shook his hand and said, "I was thinking of inviting you to a party in California, it's too cold in New York right now." ”

Both of them laughed, like old friends they hadn't seen in a long time.

Lloyd Blankfein restrained his smile slightly and said: "Ronan, your investment vision is so good that it is shocking, I won't talk about Netflix, you are the key to having a market value of 100 billion dollars." Other investments have also paid off handsomely, and let me imagine, Apple, Amazon, and Google, how many times have you paid off on your investments in these three companies?"

These are all listed companies, and a little check-up will make it clear, not to mention that there are so many wealth magazines in North America that specialize in this aspect of statistics.

Ronan is also not modest: "I always believe that the Internet is a sunrise industry, and it will create the value accumulated by traditional industries for many years at the fastest speed." ”

Lloyd Blankfein said solemnly: "Now, I believe that too. He said with some compliment: "Congratulations again, the world's first billionaire." ”

Ronan waved his hand: "It's okay for the people outside to talk about it, there's no need between us." ”

Lloyd Blankfein said with a smile: "Goldman Sachs' market capitalization is only $80 billion, and your finances alone far exceed the entire Goldman Sachs." ”

"Is this comparable?" Ronan deliberately asked rhetorically: "The assets in the stock market are all virtual, and the resources in Goldman Sachs' hands are real." ”

This is not a compliment, but a fact.

The two chatted for a while, and Lloyd Blankfein said, "We should push the Netflix network over $200 billion sooner rather than later." ”

Ronan said directly: "That requires more investment. ”

If the Netflix network wants to continue its rapid development, it must maintain the mode of burning money.

Lloyd Blankfein said: "Goldman Sachs is interested in increasing its investment in the Netflix network. ”

Ronan is well aware that, like Apple and Goldman Sachs in the past, Goldman Sachs will continue to act as a Netflix blow for at least for a while, because it is in their interest.

"Together, we will create a myth. Ronan said.

Lloyd Blankfein said: "Goldman Sachs, Netflix, and Relativity Entertainment would be the best strategic partners!"

This kind of thing Ronan naturally listens to, and he won't take it seriously.

In a short period of time, there will be no problems with the cooperation between the two sides, but he is also staring at Goldman Sachs and has never let his guard down.

Later, Ronan met with a number of Netflix investors and chatted with representatives from Kongscat and AT&T.

The fact that Netflix is where it is today also has a lot to do with the technical support that the two groups have received after cross-ownership.

In particular, by borrowing Kongscat's channels, Netflix Streaming has also successfully entered the cable TV market in Latin America.

Tonight's event is a great event, and the myth of wealth created by the Netflix network has been attended by many people and companies, and for now, every Netflix shareholder and investor is a super winner.
