The sun shines brightly into the room, and through the refraction of the window lattice, the interior is plated with a golden afterglow.

Manda stretched her body sleepily, and pushed the quilt under the bed little by little on her toes, until the bed was empty, she sat up slowly, found a pair of panties to put on, and while combing her loose hair, she sleepwalked beside the bedside cabinet, opened the drawer, and opened the tin box.

The empty box made her sober in an instant, and she suddenly shouted loudly, "Debra! Debra! Our house has been burglarized! ”

"What?" Debra's questioning voice came from the bathroom.

With the tin box in her hand, Manda rushed to the bathroom with a brisk walk, her face full of confusion, sadness, anger, and confusion, pointing to the empty box and shouting: "Our money...... Gone. ”

Debra stuck out her head, glanced at it, and said calmly, "Have you forgotten?" It was last night. ”

"Last night?"

"yes, I want to ask you why you gave all the money to Ulysses."

"Ulysses? yes, I remembered, it's that guy, I gave him all the money. Manda sat on the toilet mat and patted her chest with relief: "I scared the old lady to death, I thought it was ...... I thought our house was a thief. ”

Debra stepped out of the tub, wiped her body with a towel, and asked, "Will you take a shower or eat first?" I sorted out the sandwiches, pudding, and cheese and put them in the fridge. ”

"After eating and eating, I feel that I have lost weight again, and I have to make up for it." Manda draped over her clothes in the living room and kicked her slippers to the fridge to find something to eat, "yes, what about Ulysses?" Why is he gone? It won't be ......"

"I don't know." Debra pointed to the coffee table and said, "That's the phone he left." ”

"Oh......" She took out the sandwich and was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly put it back, immediately went to pick up the note, dialed Ulysses's phone, she said a little nervously, "I need to call to make sure he ran away with the money." ”

"Well, by the way, help me greet Roy." Debra leaned back on the couch and tossed her long hair aside, thinking about what was wrong.

Within a few seconds, the phone was connected, and Manda asked a few questions cautiously at first, but after a few words she was amused by Ulysses, and she took out her sandwich from the refrigerator with a brisk step, chatting happily.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that he reluctantly hung up the phone.

"Manda, did you greet Roy?"

"Debra, none of this matters." Manda clenched the other party's shoulders excitedly and said excitedly, "The important thing is that we are about to get rich, you know?" Ten times, ten times! As long as Roy returns to the family, let Ulysses give us ten times as much money. Haha, baby, I can support you even if you don't have to work, so you can be my housewife with peace of mind. ”

"Is this true?" Ten times the return on investment, it's unheard of, and Debra herself has no money to invest, as a bystander, she is more sober than Manda.

"What? What did you say? ”

"Well, it's okay...... Actually, I'd like to get another job, ask Roy's opinion, maybe he'll have a good idea. Debra then asked, "Roy, what are they doing?" ”

"What? I do not know. ”

"But you've been talking to Ulysses for a long time."

"It's all small talk, I forgot what I talked about."

“…… Why didn't Roy leave his phone number? ”

"Who knows." Manda happily turned on the TV and recommended: "CBS afternoon drama is not to be missed, I have been chasing it." ”

In the past, Debra would have watched it with relish, but today she was confused and wandering away.

At this time, the Netflix conference room was tense and noisy.

"Mr. Hastings, if you want to increase subscribers in a short period of time and at a low cost, the best way is to work with a film distribution company to package our free rental vouchers in the form of discounted tours, so that all the people who buy the videotapes can become our customers."

Roy made the idea into a proposal this morning and presented it to Reid Hastings and Mark Randolph, who read it and called this impromptu meeting.

Not only the two bosses were present in the conference room, but colleagues from the operation department and the marketing department were invited to attend.

"How many people will buy a tape home? They will only rent, not buy, and your idea is a waste of time. Mark objected.

Several colleagues echoed this sentiment.

"I admit that movies and TV series do not sell much, but as long as the copy is sold, it must be a potential customer, which is worthy of our careful management and gain the trust of customers." Roy Road.

"Not necessarily." Mark disagreed: "I still insist on my point of view, we need to quickly raise a sum of money, and then put a large area of advertising on TV, only in this way, our brand can really open the market, and then harvest customers, form a positive feedback, as long as the user data is considerable, I believe, will be able to raise funds again." ”

Reed said: "Mark, your way is too risky, you know, we don't have enough funds, this is a risky move." ”

Mark said, "Of course I know, Reed, but that's the most effective way, isn't it?" What does capital value most? It is the future potential of a company, when will it be the end of our obscurity and hard work?

"Because we succeeded in starting a business last time, so there are so many excellent people who have followed us here, and what they want is big development, a promising future, not cowering and walking on thin ice."

"I see what you mean." Reed turned to Roy and motioned for him to continue.

Roy wasn't much surprised by the disagreement between the two bosses, as he vaguely remembered that the two would part ways not long after. Reed continued to stay with the company, keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, growing the small company into a giant with a market capitalization of more than $66 billion. After Mark left the company, he was never heard from, and there was no news of his activity.

"In addition to films, we can also seek cooperation in music tapes and music videos, and these customers are willing to pay for music, and they are likely to be paying users of movies and TV series.

"It's a win-win for us or for the production company, so it's a very small deal."

Reid: "I thought about it, and it was a good idea. ”

Mark: "I'm against it. This time period is too long, which is not conducive to the development of the company. ”

Roy: "I'm already researching the film distribution company, and I'm willing to come to the door to negotiate in person if I can do it later." ”

Reed muttered, "The plan is on hold for now, and I'll make a decision when I've discussed it with Mark." Meeting. ”

Roy returned to his workstation a little dejected, the thick stack of materials on the table was the result of his efforts to sort it out. As a result, due to the disagreement of the bosses, the plan is likely to be abandoned, which is undoubtedly a setback for him.

Now the Internet is still just the bud in the bud, the Internet advertising model is not mature, and there is no people's trust, the real Internet industry slowly rose in 2000-2001 after the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States, so now the mainstream advertising channels are only TV, newspapers and outdoor advertising.

The above three are very money-burning publicity methods, and they need to be carefully chosen for new companies and small companies.

Based on this, Roy wants to help the company increase customers, so he can only take the sword and use his strength, and cooperating with film manufacturers is actually a good choice.

Oh no.

Roy gathered the materials, took out the pen and paper, and began to think of a new feasible plan again, when suddenly an inspiration occurred to him and something particularly important.

The more he pondered, the more he got his head, and the index finger and thumb rubbed rapidly, and he immediately pulled out a piece of paper and began to write hard. (Appendix 1)
