555 Network Blockbuster

San Francisco Silicon Valley, in the office of the chairman of Skynet Technology.

"John, Eugene called and wanted to talk to you about a project that might be available for investment. Wang Siqing suddenly hung up the phone and said to Li Feng with a smile.

"Oh... Bill said that he has been wandering around Century Capital recently, and it seems that he has taken a fancy to which project he has come to me to ask for credit. Li Feng replied in surprise.

After all, according to the habits of the Silicon Valley venture capital circle, if a start-up really goes to Century Capital to seek investment, as long as the investors approve it, Li Feng will generally not care, after all, venture capital is like this, fishing for 'treasure' in a haystack.

"Hehe, the information email is here, do you want to read it?" Wang Siqing quickly asked Li Feng again.

"Okay, I'm really interested in seeing what project he has his eye on, send it to me. Li Feng replied with a smile.

Soon, the document forwarded by Wang Siqing appeared on Li Feng's personal laptop, which was also two documents, one was the introduction of the founder and the team, and the other was the introduction of the start-up project.

After opening the document, the first thing that catches my eye is a one-inch bareheaded photograph of a 3-40-year-old American imperialist white middle-aged man with a beard, named Reed Hastings.

Born in 60, graduated from Stanford with a master's degree in computer science in the 80s, started a business after some work, and last year the company started by others was acquired, earning the first pot of gold in his life and achieving financial freedom, which can be regarded as a talent.

Then, at the end of last year, he recruited some former subordinates to start a business again and set up an online DVD rental company called Netfix, claiming to become 'Blockbuster on the Internet'.

……

"Wait, netfix?? Li Feng suddenly thought of something at this time, and suddenly thought secretly in his heart.

"Online DVD Rental, Internet Blockbuster?"

"Damn, isn't this a 'Netflix' company?"

"Hemp, Silicon Valley is such a great place!"

“…”

After muttering in his heart, Li Feng finally recalled, what the hell was going on, Li Feng remembered that at the time of rebirth in the 17th year of his previous life, Netflix's market value had begun to run wildly, as if it was about to reach a market value of 100 billion.

Fortunately, the network information of later generations is really developed, although for the founder of Netflix, Reed Hastings, Li Feng honestly does not know, and has not even heard of it, but at least Netflix has always heard of it, after all, in terms of online video and network media, people are considered industry leaders.

Of course, Li Feng has heard of Netflix more often, but every time he sees Netflix on the domestic Internet, people's English names are always displayed in parentheses on the side.

At the beginning, I felt a little familiar when I saw Netfix, and now Li Feng knows this familiarity very well, as long as he sees such a familiarity, he will not be wrong to immediately rummage in his mind to find his memory.

No, this rummaging, and it turned out that another gold mine in Silicon Valley appeared.

……

Next, I didn't look at the rest of the founding group, and directly clicked on the company project book on the side, and sure enough, although there is still a huge gap with the Netflix model of the later generations in my memory, it is indeed the Netflix company I heard of in my previous life.

However, at this time, the Netflix website has just been launched, and there are still very few users, and only the first service of the company has been launched, that is, customers can place orders directly on the website, and Netflix will mail the DVD directly to others for free, so that customers have to go directly to the store to rent the trouble.

There is no doubt that in the DVD rental market, it is now the world of Blockbuster, and Blockbuster's stores cover the entire North America, but people are selling in reality, that is, offline, while Netflix has moved offline directly to the Internet, so that customers can rent the DVD they want without leaving home.

At this time, Netflix has not yet launched a membership fee waiver, let alone moved all its business online, directly watched it online, and even later directly produced and launched excellent dramas, etc., it is really a start-up team, no wonder it claims to be 'Internet BesTV'.

Facing the super 'big gold mine' with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars in the future, Li Feng was naturally moved, and immediately said to Wang Siqing: "Sister Qing, you help me call back to Eugene, let him come over, it's best to bring all the people from Netfix company, and I'll talk to people in person." ”

"Oh... , John, are you very optimistic about this project?" Wang Siqing replied in surprise after hearing this.

……

"Think about today's DVD rental industry overlord Blockbuster, the rise of the Internet has been unstoppable, and the competition between real companies and the same type of enterprises on the Internet is also inevitable, there is no doubt that the competitor of this Netflix company is Blockbuster, and I don't know if Blockbuster will pay attention to Netflix or the Internet.

In short, I think that as long as Netflix can really lay out in advance before Blockbuster reacts, it may be able to achieve their promotional slogan in the future, and become the Internet Blockbuster or even beyond, after all, the Internet has no boundaries. Li Feng explained with a smile.

"Okay, I'll contact Eugene. ”

Thinking of Blockbuster that is now in full swing, Wang Siqing immediately reacted, after all, Blockbuster is not a small company now, and has enough influence in the media field, and the media has always been one of the focuses of Li Feng's layout, Wang Siqing is naturally clear of this.

Li Feng attaches great importance to the importance of the Internet in the media field, and Wang Siqing, who is a person close to Li Feng, understands better that Li Feng's media group is now expanding except for the newspaper field.

Li Feng has mentioned to Wang Siqing more than once that with the development of the Internet, traditional paper media will gradually be replaced by the Internet, and a large number of real businesses can be realized on the Internet, so that real businesses will face major challenges.

There is no doubt that if Netfix can replace the position of Blockbuster in the future reality, it will be a very important part of Li Feng's future layout in the media field.

……

"John, Eugene replied that if he wants to meet with the founder team, then it's too late today, he will make an appointment with someone, and he can arrange it tomorrow. ”

Wang Siqing quickly contacted Xu Youyu, and gave Li Feng a positive reply after a while.

"Well, Silicon Valley is such a good place, I think this netfix company is very creative, you can also see it, the DVD rental in the Blockbuster store is really good, but you think, you just need to place an order online directly at home, and then the netfix company will mail it to your home for free, and you can rent the DVD you want without leaving home, which is so many.

If I can do things at home, why should I go to Blockbuster or the DVD rental store on the street, this is the convenience of the Internet, and it is also a major challenge that many companies are about to face in reality. After Li Feng stretched, he smiled and said to Wang Siqing.

"John, hearing you say this, I think Blockbuster should also launch a corresponding service, after all, people are not stupid. Wang Siqing replied with a smile.

"Yes, this is a matter of time, and there is the need to have 'Internet thinking', but I am not optimistic about BesTV, after all, if you really want to do this, those rental points in reality, this is all trouble, I am really optimistic about this company called netfix. Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Hehe... , I hope it is as you wish. ”

"That's natural, this netfix company, I am decided, and even I want to occupy the majority shareholder, and in the future, the media group can complement each other. ”
