A garage in a remote Silicon Valley.

The space inside is not large, the decoration is simple, only two spaces are separated, one is placed in two desks, several computers and servers, and the other is a classic-style living room, refrigerator, coffee machine, small bar, coffee table, stool, round chair are complete.

Usually there are only two people in this inaccessible place, but today it is particularly lively, and there are people sitting in the four corners of the coffee table, or drinking coffee, or drinking beer, and the atmosphere is warm and bragging.

The only young man who was drinking beer was named Lance Goss, wearing glasses, thin as a hemp pole, who used to work as a technician at Netflix, introduced Roy to a lot of computer talents, and now has jumped to work in this small company.

The other three model dog sampled coffee were Roy Van Van , Reed Hastings and Gary Copperfield.

"Haha, Reed, it's been a long time, it's been less than a few months, and Red Coral is getting more and more popular, and its reputation is getting louder and louder." Roy is very pleased, after Reed took over the Red Coral Company, with absolute execution to implement Roy's core philosophy, and in the details of the operation, now the valuation of Red Coral is genuinely more than 200 million, even if the money is burned to continue Series B financing, there will be a lot of VC (venture capital) willing to follow up.

"There are many reasons, but I think the most important thing is that we have the ideal business model in mind that is very close. Of course, it is also inseparable from your 100% decentralization. Reed is also not modest, and generously acknowledges his credit.

Gary sipped his coffee and listened to their conversation with a smile. At the beginning, because Roy poached him to Red Coral Company as the marketing director, now his net worth and value have risen, and it can be said that he has taken a ride on appreciation.

Soon after the A round of financing, Roy reached a consensus with Reed to merge Netflix with 7% of the equity value of Red Coral, and gave up the position of CEO to Reed.

Roy smiled: "No way, people's energy is always limited, if you want to do something else, you can't hold on to everything." What's more, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords of the people, they have all invited you to come, and I still stay in Red Coral, isn't that causing chaos there. ”

Everyone laughed.

Lance picked up a newspaper that had just arrived today, and joked, "Did you read the newspaper today?" The reporter of "Entrepreneur" interviewed the CEO of BesTV and asked him what he thought of Red Coral, and he said that he did not think that Red Coral was a threat at all, and that he did not think that the new format of DVD would not have a great future, and that videotapes would continue to dominate for a long time; In addition, he said, most customers make the decision to rent a movie half an hour before they walk into the store, so BesTV's thousands of chain stores across the country are irreplaceable. ”

Roy laughed: "His starting point is definitely a reflection of the classic 'ass decides the head'." It is precisely because BesTV's main product is video tapes, and it has its own chain stores that it is very proud of, so they will regard these as industry trends and core competitiveness, without thinking about the real industry trend and what the user's behavior will be. ”

"It's going to make them lose out in this competition." Reed playfully added, "Now that the Red Coral Company is in the climate, let's stop boasting." ”

"Yes. Listening to the boasting of the two of you, my old face can't hold it anymore. Gary laughed.

Reid was willing to change the subject, and asked curiously, "It's my first time here, is this your new company?" ”

"Yes, I secretly opened a new company, don't I need financing?"

Before anyone saw it, they heard it.

Alyssa smiled and pushed the door open, followed by her assistant Ivy.

Roy looked over, and today Alyssa was wearing a beige trench coat, with a painted plaid shirt and yellow cropped pants inside, the color was fresh and refreshing.

He looked at his assistant Ivy again, the other party was dressed in neat and clean black and white OL overalls, which made people feel traditional and inward, especially Ivey's delicate facial features, which made his heart move, thinking of Rex, who also loves to wear OL office clothes, and his heart felt an inexplicable pain, and his breathing slowed down by half a beat.

Roy smiled awkwardly: "In a company as small as mine, counting the boss and employees, there are only 2 people, and if you want to raise money, the valuation will be at most 100,000 US dollars, haha, it is estimated that this is still a friendship price." ”

"Really?" Alyssa didn't believe it at all, she was used to the surprises that Roy brought, and she was surprised to be so simple and serious all of a sudden.

Roy instructed: "Lance, tell this beautiful investor, am I telling the truth?" ”

Lance laughed and took a sip of his beer, nodding his head, "It's just two people." Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

Lance said mysteriously: "Unless the boss is ready to change the taste and hire a beautiful female employee like you." ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed, this is something in the words.

Roy warned, "Hey! Lance, are you ready to bankrupt me again? Alyssa, the big man in the investment world, is something that our mortals can encroach on. ”

Ivy also glared at Lance and said disdainfully: "Miss Alyssa casually reveals some funds from between her fingers, which is enough to smash your broken garage into scrap metal." Hmph, I don't know what to do. ”

Roy was surprised, this girl was spicy enough, and he didn't see that Alyssa liked such a murderous little brother.

Alyssa criticized awkwardly, "Ivy, they're joking." ”

Roy laughed, "I think Miss Ivy was joking, too, right." ”

Ivy snorted coldly: "I didn't have ...... You are so hypocritical. ”

Roy looked confused, Fake, I'm on your side, speaking for you, can't you see it?

Everyone was laughing and laughing, and the small living room was a little crowded, but it was even more lively.

Roy served coffee to Alyssa and Ivy and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've had a guest in this garage." ”

"As long as the financing is successful, you can be as lively as you want." Alyssa said: "It's been so long, don't you take me to see your company's products?" ”

Roy felt a little lost in his heart, he hadn't seen each other for so long, just chatting a few words, and the other party couldn't help but urge. Hey, feelings are so complicated.

"Well, since you sincerely ask for advice, then I will be merciful to let you know for a long time......"

"-BOSS, here we are!"

At this moment, Ulysses boldly pushed open the door, and at first sight saw a room of people, he was even more excited to go crazy, he briefly introduced the two attendants he had brought with him, and sent them outside to wait.

No way, it's a bit small in the house.

"The gods are gathered! BOSS, what are we going to create this time? ”

Create your uncle! Roy complained in his heart, it's not time for you to appear, okay?!

Debra and Jamie also happened to be at the meeting and squeezed in, and when they saw the room full of people, they froze for two seconds, and when they saw Reed again, Debra reflexively explained: "Boss, I didn't quit to jump ship here - no, I didn't collude with Roy when I resigned - no, I quit because I wanted to resign, it has nothing to do with Roy - no, I ......"

As the number of people increased, the temperature in the house rose rapidly, and there were not a few people who were dizzy, and Roy was one of them.
