Chapter 248: Netflix Listing (Medium)
Chapter 248 Netflix Listing (Middle)
……
"Reed!"
Looking at the comer, Guo Shouyun smiled and stretched out his right hand to the other party.
"Since you're here, why don't you go to the front, everyone is waiting for you!" Reed Hastings, who is the chairman and CEO of Netflix, said enthusiastically after holding Guo Shouyun's right hand.
"I met two friends!" Guo Shouyun said.
"Hello Mr. Hastings!"
Seeing that the other party's gaze shifted to himself, Keith Breschroeder and Paris Kiani hurriedly said.
"Hello and welcome to the Netflix launch!"
"It's our pleasure!"
Although Reed Hastings still has a warm face, it is clear that he has a different attitude towards Guo Shouyun and Keith Braischroeder and Paris Kiani. Of course, this is also understandable, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is there.
After a brief greeting, Reed Hastings' gaze turned back to Guo Shouyun again, "Come with me, the time for Netflix to go public is coming soon." ”
Guo Shouyun nodded, and under his guidance, he walked towards the center of the trading hall.
"Who is that young guy and that Netflix CEO is so enthusiastic about him?"
"He's Bruce Guo, a guy who's been called a crazy guy by the major media lately!"
"Bruce Guo is him, I heard that his Thunder Fund made a lot of money through the Argentine financial crisis, I don't know if it's true or not?"
"I used to think it was fake, but now looking at the end of his Pan Pacific Group's crazy merger and acquisition, it may be true......!"
The more he walked to the middle, the more eyes focused on Guo Shouyun, and the more topics about him became. Gradually, it seems that the entire trading floor is talking about him more than talking about Netflix's listing.
Keenly aware of the changes around him, looking at the young figure in front of him like the stars holding the moon, Reed Braischroed's face showed a deep trace of jealousy.
Why is his background better than him, his studies are better than him, and his network resources are better than him, but he has never been able to achieve the same results as the other party?
"Is your mind unbalanced?"
Hearing the words of his fiancée in his ear, Reed Braischroeder took a deep breath, calmed down his complicated thoughts, and nodded.
"Compare the age, family affairs, status, connections, and achievements of the two of us, it's strange to be balanced!"
"Understandable. In fact, there is not a single circle around us that mentions Bruce Kwok who is not jealous and envious. However, we better not compare ourselves to such people. ”
"Why?" said Reed Braischroeder. Although he knew that his fiancée's words were correct, the pride in his heart did not allow him to admit defeat easily, at least to fight for a little face.
"Because that guy is a combination of a genius and a madman. And we're normal!" Paris Queanni said in a complicated tone.
"Can I interpret this as a disguised comfort?"
"It's meant to be comforting!"
"Damn!" muttered, Keith Braischroeder calmed down, and he didn't have time or space to complain as he had reached the center of the trading floor.
At this time, Guo Shouyun, who exudes his influence like a star, also met someone whose status can match him, or even surpass him.
"Bruce, meet again!"
"Stephen, as the IPO underwriter of Netflix, Goldman Sachs has a good deal. ”
Stephen Bryan smiled, "Netflix is good business, of course. However, we are also very eager to work with Mr. Guo, especially LinkedIn and Google. ”
"Stephen, good business can't be enjoyed exclusively by your Goldman Sachs family!" A middle-aged man with a bald head interjected, and stretched out his right hand towards Guo Shouyun, "Mr. Guo, good morning!"
Bob Cunningham, president of Merrill Lynch, met several times in Merrill Lynch's previous work with Guo Shouyun.
"Mr. Cunningham, it's a pleasure to see you again!"
After shaking hands with the other party, Guo Shouyun turned his gaze to the side, a middle-aged white man in a brown suit and gold-rimmed glasses, "Mr. Romney, I didn't expect Bain Capital to be a shareholder of Netflix!"
"Bain Capital's stake in Netflix is not comparable to Mr. Guo's Phoenix Capital. Netflix goes public, and you're the biggest winner!" Mitt Romney laughed.
"If you really want to say that the winner, it should be Reed, he is the majority shareholder of Netflix!"
Reed Hastings smiled, "If you plan to make LinkedIn public, its market value is already much stronger than Netflix!"
"That's not necessarily, LinkedIn is in trouble now, compared to Netflix has a bright future, a clear profit method, and future profits can be expected!" Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly.
After listening to his words, the attitudes of the people present were different. Standing in the elite circles of the United States, they also know some of the insider's content.
"LinkedIn is certainly a bit troublesome, but Bruce, you have enough money to deal with any crisis!" Stephen Bryan said suddenly.
Glancing at him, Guo Shouyun suddenly smiled and said, "Why did everyone talk about me." Today is Netflix's listing, and it's Reed's big day. Everyone should congratulate him. ”
Reed Hastings waved his hand, "That being said, you're the hot guy in the entire U.S. press right now, especially with the recent lightning rapid expansion of the Pan Pacific Energy Group. It makes Bruce the center of public opinion, not to mention them, even I have too many questions I want to get answers from you!"
"Mr. Hastings has spoken for everyone. Mitt Romney said.
"Hehe, I myself have long wanted to have a good chat with Mr. Guo. However, I heard that you have been closed all this time, so you have not come to visit, and I finally got this opportunity today, so I must talk to you more!" Bob Cunningham.
The rest of the people around nodded in agreement. Looking at their eyes, Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly and sighed: "I knew that I wouldn't come to participate in Netflix's listing!"
"But you're already here!" laughed Stephen Brian.
"Bruce, we're all friends or business partners, and getting together to talk about it can be of unimaginable benefit to us and to you!" Reed Hastings laughed.
Guo Shouyun glanced at him and shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, I can't refuse now." Let it be. ”
"If you say yes. … We'll talk in detail at noon when LinkedIn entertains the banquet. ”
Nodding, Guo Shouyun said: "Go and entertain other guests, you are the protagonist today!"
After answering and saying goodbye to the group, Reed Hastings left. After he left, Guo Shouyun had no intention of staying and continuing to be interrogated.
"Guys, I'm going to see some friends!"
Thinking that there was still a chance to chat at noon, Stephen Bryan did not stop them.
After leaving here, the people around me who want to expand their circle of connections become agitated.
"Boss, Michael is here!"
Look in the direction of Wendy's finger. Sure enough, Michael Moretz strode over with Paul Ritter, the fund manager of Phoenix Capital Fund 1.
"Boss!"
“boss!”
"I thought you were going to be late!" Guo Shouyun simply hugged the two and said with a smile.
"We thought we were going to be late. But fortunately, the traffic in the back is not bad. ”
Guo Shouyun nodded, greeted the waiter, took two glasses of champagne and handed them over.
"Wait a minute, it's almost time!"
Although Guo Shouyun knew that with his reputation and influence in the outside world at the moment, he would not be calm around him, but he didn't expect to come back so soon. And the straightforward culture of Americans seems to have made them forget what 'bothering' is!
"Hello, Mr. Guo!"
This is a young man who looks a few years older, his cheeks look a little thin, the raised cheekbones, and the deep eye sockets, combined with the slightly hooked nose tip, give his temperament a shrewdness that is rarely seen by ordinary people.
"Hello!"
"My name is Jack Braverman and I just started my own hedge fund this year. So, I'd like to ask you a few questions when it comes to investing!"
"I'm happy to share a little bit of my investment experience with others. However, I am not a big investor, and now I am being denounced as a madman by the American news media. Are you sure you want to ask me?" Guo Shouyun smiled after the two shook hands.
"Of course. Moreover, I think Mr. Guo is a genius investor with a keen intuition about the market. As for the media reports, they have never been right except for what has happened!" Jack Braverman shook his head disdainfully.
"While I'm not sure if you're complimenting or genuine, it does make me happy, thank you!"
"You're welcome! Around me, although not everyone agrees with my judgment, there are still some smart people who are positive about you. Also, you can take a look around. From those eyes eager to communicate with you, you can see everyone's attitude towards you. ”
After his eyes quickly swept around, Guo Shouyun smiled: "Now let's talk about your problem, right?"
"That's what I'm looking forward to the most...!"
"Wait a minute!" After interrupting, "I hope you don't have more than three questions, after all, I still have friends to talk to!"
Despite some hesitation, Jack Braverman nodded.
"What do you think of the Argentine financial crisis, or when do you think it will end?"
"I'm just an ordinary person who has studied investment, and I'm not a god who can predict the future. So I can't tell you exactly when the Argentine financial crisis ended. But I'm sure this year the crisis will only deepen, not end!"
"So can I understand that the crisis will continue into next year?"
"Yes!" Guo Shouyun nodded, "This is just my opinion!"
