Chapter 13: The Repeating Black History

"Before?" Ulysses pondered, then stretched out his fingers and counted carefully, "Raise money from strangers, or raise money from friends...... We partner with each other, you play the talented rich second generation, and I am the follower sent to you by the master......"

"......" Roy had nothing to say, the bastard things he had done before, it was estimated that the hatred gathered would be able to eat him alive, he tried to ask further, "Is there such an opportunistic way to make money...... How can you say that you don't owe a debt of favors, can you understand that?"

"Opportunistic?" Ulysses' eyes suddenly lit up, "Why don't you go to the bar and get some money?"

"Oh, how?" Roy said, expectantly.

"Gay bars should be the best, with our perfect body, it's not impossible to get $500 a night. Ulysses propped his chin and thought about it.

"Damn Farke, you're not kidding, are you?" Roy got goosebumps, he didn't discriminate against gay men, but it didn't mean that he could accept it, and if he did, he would rather die.

"Hahaha......" Ulysses slapped the table, leaned back with a smile, until he saw Roy's gloomy face, he slowly retracted, and he quickly apologized: "BOSS, I have a good idea, why don't we ......"

Roy frowned and listened, his index finger tapping rhythmically on the table, and after listening, he asked, "Will you recruit a police detective?"

"Under normal circumstances, no, as long as important things are not lost, no one will be so troublesome, after all, everyone will not see the light. BOSS, have you forgotten that you taught me to do this when I was short of money before. Ulysses was confident.

What did I teach you?

Roy thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, it seemed that his predecessor was really crazy about money, and in order to achieve his goal, he did everything he could.

Roy hesitated, and carefully observed Ulysses, tall and mighty, strong and masculine, with good facial features, and a dog-like appearance......

This thought made Roy feel very feasible, and he was happy, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes narrowed.

……

In the afternoon, Roy and Ulysses returned to the company to familiarize themselves with the business, and they each visited everywhere, and by the way, they also thought about how to increase the company's customer volume.

Netflix's business model is actually very simple, that is, film and television video rental, after the customer places an order online, the company's warehouse in the corresponding region will immediately ship, and when the customer has finished watching the movie or TV series, it will be mailed back.

Netflix's rival giant, BesTV, is an offline physical store, which means that customers go to the store to rent videos and then take them home to watch.

However, BesTV has never regarded Netflix as a competitor, just as elephants will not compete with ants, and their current gap is like the bright moon and the light of fireflies, which is not comparable at all.

The giant has the pride of the giant, and of course, he will pay for his arrogance in the future, and the end of history is to file for bankruptcy.

But now, Roy has to try his best to compete with the giants for customer resources, so that the company can accumulate a large number of users in a short period of time and achieve the first wave of user accumulation.

The early days of entrepreneurship are always the hardest, and I have been investing money and making little profit.

Roy understands Reed Hastings' anxiety very well, the transformation of Internet marketing is inevitable, but most startups will not last until the day they turn over, and the capital chain will be broken, becoming the talk of business history after dinner.

Roy carefully analyzed the data of the film rental industry, and Netflix also has advantages, such as cheap rental prices, according to the company's pricing, at least half of the discount compared to BesTV.

But obviously, Netflix also has many disadvantages, such as having to mail videotapes, incomplete film library, slow video updates, unconcise operation, and so on.

As a new company, Netflix's resources and financial resources are naturally incomparable with BesTV, so the above problems are difficult to solve. Relying solely on the preferential rental price is very limited in its attractiveness to customers.

……

The years are not lived, and life is short.

Before you know it, it's time to get off work, and Roy has piled up a lot of materials on his desk, and he has also recorded a lot of key information about the company.

However, there is no use for eggs.

He is still at a loss for low-cost customer ideas.

"BOSS, it's time to get off work. Ulysses is a quick reminder of the excitement and excitement that is to come.

"So fast?" Roy looked at his watch, rubbed his head that was filled with data, stretched his waist and said, "Which bar to go to, have you chosen?"

"Hehe, of course, I met an interesting guy at the company and learned a lot from it, and I must fight it tonight. ”

“OK。 Roy picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, began to tidy up the materials on the table, sorted the documents into categories, locked the important notes in the drawer, and finally cleaned the coffee cup, and left with Ulysses.

At the door, Ulysses whistled and winked at the Black Girl's front desk.

The black girl glanced at him at the front desk with deep meaning, and took care of her own work.

Oops, Roy observed the two of them in surprise, but he didn't expect Ulysses to flirt with his sister at a good level, and the probability of success this night is higher.

"You don't mind if she's a black girl (skin color)?"

"A little bit. Ulysses said with a relaxed face: "Anyway, it's not serious." ”

"Hmm. What did you do in the afternoon?"

"No, BOSS, it's already off work at this time. ”

"I'm just asking, I'm just curious. ”

"Does it matter if you know a new colleague?"

"Of course. ”

"To be honest, there are some people in the company who are quite annoying. Ulysses whispered: "For example, there is a female colleague next to me who always farts, haha, she thinks I don't hear it, but I have a sensitive nose." ”

"Huh, have you sniffed your fill at night? Roy was speechless.

"So...... We can kill straight to the bar. Oh also. ”

Roy pouted, this guy has no sense of work at all, I hope the other party won't be fired by the boss too soon. If the other party is really fired, do I still have to support him?

It's horrible.

Roy only felt his head swell and hurt even more.

Because they were unfamiliar with the road, they took a taxi to the legendary Flame Bar.

Worried about feeling unwell after drinking, Roy bought a burger on the road and padded his stomach.

Ulysses didn't care, it seemed that he was getting drunk at night, and he didn't know if he would be able to get up and go to work tomorrow.

After getting out of the car, Ulysses pointed to a sign in another corner not far away, and excitedly reminded Roy to take a look.

"Striptease, huh?"

The two of them walked across the road and turned into a deep narrow alley.

The night is sultry, the fire trees and silver flowers, the lights are ambiguous, and the beauties are coquettish.

Roy and Ulysses swallowed their saliva in unison, the adrenaline on their bodies began to roar, their whole bodies were hot, their hearts beat faster, and they wanted to go in and have a good time.

Roy felt that the alley was extremely long, and after walking for a long time, he finally came to a two-story super garage, and the two pushed the door in.

Boiling music, teasing whistles, and excited shouts came from inside the house from time to time, and if you thought about it, you guessed that there must be pictures of boiling animal blood inside.

Roy and the others followed the woman who happened to be on the same road in front of them as they reached the second door, where a tall, stout, tattooed black man blocked them with his arm.

"Is the hair all grown, little ghost. ”

The stout black man looked at them condescendingly, and tapped the sign on the wall with an iron rod in his right hand.

Roy looked at the iron bar, which read, "Under 21 years of age, no entry." ”

Ulysses said angrily, "We've graduated. ”

"Hehe, did you graduate from junior high school?"

"University, University of California. ”

With that, Ulysses was about to force his way in, but the black man's arm was crossed again, standing in front of him.

"Hey, little ghost, are you just going to go in like that?" said the stout black man.

"Didn't the woman just go in?" said Ulysses, unconvinced.

"Idiots, women are free, but men are not. ”

"Huh, how much?"

"$100. ”

Ulysses looked at Roy and said, "Boss, it's time for you to pay."

The stout black man looked at Roy with mocking eyes.

A hundred dollars per person?

Roy's face was flushed, he was really embarrassed, not to mention the $200, TMD now he can't even make up $50, so let's go home and take it off for myself.
