Chapter 071: Reed under the Unwilling (Monday Asks for a Wave)

Thomas Toole and Robert Iger left with excitement and tasks, not afraid of having something to do, afraid of nothing to do, isn't it a heavy task, isn't it just recruiting, it's not a thing.

Mark Randolph and Reed Hastings have returned to Hastings' house at this time, the two of them came to the study, looked at each other, and did not open their mouths, today's blow to them is really not small, I didn't expect Cang Yaozu and Marvel's actions to be so big.

But what they didn't know was that Cang Yaozu's movements would be many times larger than they imagined, the pattern was different, the height and dimension they saw were different, and the choices they made were naturally different.

After selling the last company he founded, Reed Hastings now has a net worth of hundreds of millions, but he doesn't dare to invest in new entrepreneurial projects, and he can't see the future clearly, he only knows that the development trend of the Internet is unstoppable.

"Reed, why don't we change the direction of entrepreneurship? The lack of film and television resources is fatal to us, and what is even more fatal is that we lack funds, even if we can form differentiated competition with Blockbuster, but now there is another Marvel, this opponent can only be tough, but the investment is too great.

The head effect of the Internet industry is very strong, and the enterprise that occupies the first-mover advantage becomes the head of the system, and the system begins to produce positive feedback, and a small advantage will bring more reputation, more opportunities, and higher returns. This, in turn, allows the top companies to invest more resources and continue to expand their lead, and the final result is that the top companies achieve the highest growth rate.

We envisioned it well at the beginning, low-key development, differentiated breakthrough, and user experience to win, these concepts are not wrong, but they are really not enough for the Internet. "Mark Randolph knows exactly what they're up against.

"Mark, have you been persuaded by the damn them, or have you been bought by the damn money?" Reed Hastings said with an indescribable annoyance in his tone, and he was a little out of breath.

"Reed, I'm just stating the fact that the adoption of DVDs is so slow that if we want to rely on DVDs as a product to compete with Blockbuster's VHS tape rental business, we optimistically estimate that it may take three to five years to win.

During this period, we must develop and promote, and the company's operation must be a bottomless pit, which is still in the absence of direct competitors, allowing us to develop slowly. I... ”

"Don't say it, I understand all this. It's not that I don't have money, but I still want to find a few VCs to get in, and that's why. But the last time I started a Pure Atria company, I learned that I must adhere to a principle, that is, I must control, and the company must follow my ideas, otherwise it will collapse like Pure Atria and end up being acquired.

Mark, I'm going to study business management, and we're going to spend the night discussing the direction of entrepreneurship and the operating model, but it's not for the sake of working for other people, I'm fed up, I'm fed up with all this damn everything, WTF. Reed Hastings was furious.

If Cang Yaozu is here, he will praise Reed, well done, Reed, top you, orcs will never be slaves!

"Reed, the Internet has just begun to develop, it is still a barren place, there is a blue ocean everywhere, this road is not passable, we can go another way. ”

"No, I'm still going to break through on this road, it's not my style to give up easily, Marvel's business ideas are different from ours, they invest so much money, they must be heavy assets, let's engage in light assets, all online.

Mark, I'll find a few experts and get the recommendation algorithm as soon as possible, and we'll beat them with a super user experience and tell them that this is my territory. "Reed Hastings is not an easy person to throw in the towel.

Mark Randolph was silent, he didn't have as much ambition as Reed, he just wanted to practice and perfect his e-commerce theory and give full play to his expertise in marketing.

In the end, the two broke up unhappily, and neither persuaded anyone. This small team, which has not yet started its second venture, has begun to show signs of dispersion.

Jennifer Aniston and Cang Yaozu returned to the hotel where Cang Yaozu was staying. Cang Yaozu has not had time to buy a property in Los Angeles, so he can only live in a hotel first.

Jennifer Aniston was shocked by Cang Yaozu several times today, and the girl from Citigroup is indeed open, and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with coming to the hotel with Cang Yaozu directly, well, love is simple and direct, and love is generous.

Cang Yaozu was a little inflated after coming to Citigroup, and yesterday he re-experienced the love of men and women, and now he can't hold it back. Although Ji Niangniang is tall, she is just a little girl now, and she has no style, Jennifer Aniston is a mature sister, the kind that is ripe.

The two of them were tired of the hotel for a night, tried various postures, and this night, the two of them were extremely happy, and when they got up the next day, it was noon. For two consecutive nights, one big and one small, one young and one mature, Cang Yaozu, who had been abstinent for almost four months, finally reconciled yin and yang.

During the meal, Jennifer Aniston hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help it, she wanted to say this sentence for a night: "Ah Yao, I also want to act in a movie, is there a female character in the pirate movie you said?"

Cang Yaozu smiled and said, "Jenny, I thought you wouldn't say it, haha." There is indeed a heroine in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", but this movie will be filmed for more than ten years, and the heroine must find a younger one, which is not suitable for you. ”

When Jennifer Aniston heard this, she immediately sank her face and said angrily, "Why didn't you say I was old last night? Am I old?

"Of course, of course, it's definitely youthful. But that role is really not suitable for you, there is no room for performance, pirate films, female characters are embellishments, and that play is the basic story of two men.

Jenny, don't be angry, so let's do it, I ask you to play a superhero film, the heroine of "Iron Man" Pepper Pepper Pepper Boyu, this character is blonde and long-legged, and young and beautiful, although the role is not particularly heavy, but there are at least five movies in which I will sign you to act in ten films with a salary of 5 million US dollars. "Cang Yaozu didn't want to knock over Jennifer Aniston's vinegar jar.

"Uh, ten is too much, won't my salary increase after so many years?"

"Of course, the protagonists of superhero movies are those superheroes, and the other characters are actually foils, and your character appearance is okay, but basically it's just a big cameo, and it's all very fast to film, and it's definitely worth it. ”

"No, I'm going to raise my salary. "Ha, Rachel can be coquettish too.

"Well, I can't stand you. Starting at 5 million US dollars in this way, with each additional film, the salary will increase by 1 million, which is always okay, and if you shoot 6 films, you will enter the 10 million club, okay. ”

"That's pretty much it. By the way, do you want me to act in "The Hangover" you said on the plane?"

"Well, "The Hangover" is also a cameo, there are not many scenes, it is an R-rated comedy, it is a men's play, so be it, a one-month schedule, 3 million US dollars. ”

"Ah, didn't you say that it started at 5 million? Ah Yao, you little guy doesn't count when he talks, I'll bite you to death!"
