Rebirth

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

"John, Eugene called and wanted to talk to you, saying that there is a project that might be invested in." Wang Siqing suddenly hung up and said to Li Feng with a smile.

"Oh..., Bill said before that he has been wandering around at Century Capital recently. It seems that he has come to me for a project that he has fancyed for." Li Feng replied a little surprised.

After all, according to the habit of the Silicon Valley venture capital circle, if a start-up company actually seeks investment from Century Capital, as long as the investors approve it, Li Feng will generally not take care of it. After all, venture capital is like this.

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

"That's OK, I'm really interested in seeing what project he is looking at, send it to me." Li Feng replied with a smile.

Soon, the documents forwarded by Wang Siqing appeared on Li Feng’s personal laptop. They were also two documents. One was an introduction to the founder and the team, and the other was an introduction to the startup company’s project. Li Feng was accustomed to this. , Let’s start with the introduction of the founder team.

After opening the file, the first thing I saw was a one-inch headless photo of a 3 or 40-year-old American white middle-aged man with a beard, named Reed Hastings.

Born in 60 and graduated with a master's degree in computer science from Stanford in the 1980s, he started his own business after working a lot. Last year, the company he started his own business was acquired, earning his first pot of money in life and achieving financial freedom.

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

...

"Wait, netfix? Why does this company name feel a bit familiar?" Li Feng suddenly thought of something at this moment, and suddenly thought in his heart.

"Online DVD rental, Internet Blockbuster?"

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

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

"..."

After murmuring in his heart, Li Feng finally remembered what was going on. Li Feng remembered that during the 17 years of rebirth in the previous life, Netflix's market value had already started to run wild, and it seemed that it was about to reach a market value of 100 billion. Right.

Fortunately, the Internet information of later generations is really developed. Although Li Feng, the founder of Netflix, does not know the truth, or even heard of it, but at least Netflix has always heard of it. Yes, after all, in terms of online video and online media, people are regarded as the industry leaders.

Of course, Li Feng has heard more about Netflix, but every time he sees Netflix on the domestic Internet, his English name is always displayed in brackets on the side.

When I saw Netfix, I felt a little familiar. For this kind of familiarity, Li Feng now knows it very well. As long as he sees this kind of familiarity, he can't go wrong with his memory immediately.

No, this search, and the result is another gold mine in Silicon Valley.

...

Next, without looking at the rest of the founders’ group, I just clicked on the company project book on the side and looked at it. Sure enough, although there is still a huge gap with the Netflix model in the memory of later generations, it is indeed a past life. Said Netflix.

However, at this time, the Netflix website has just been launched, and there are still few users, and it only launched their first service, that is, customers can place orders directly on the website, and Netflix will directly mail the DVD for free. For others, it saves the customer the trouble of going directly to the store to rent.

There is no doubt that in the DVD rental market, Blockbuster is now the world. Blockbuster’s stores cover the entire North America. However, people sell in reality, that is, offline, while Netflix has moved directly offline. On the Internet, customers can rent the DVD they want without leaving home.

At this time, Netflix has not yet launched membership exemption fees, and has not moved all of its business to the Internet, directly watching online or even later directly producing excellent drama series, etc., it is really a start-up team, no wonder it claims to be'Internet Blockbuster'.

Facing the super “big gold mine” with a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in the future, Li Feng was naturally tempted, and immediately said to Wang Siqing: "Sister Qing, please give me a call to Eugene and let him come over. It's best to bring everyone from Netfix, and I will talk to them personally."

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

...

"Think about the current dominant DVD rental industry, Blockbuster, the rise of the Internet is unstoppable, and the competition between real companies and similar companies on the Internet is also inevitable. There is no doubt that the competition of this Netflix company The opponent is Blockbuster, and I don't know if Blockbuster will value Netflix or the Internet.

In short, I think that as long as Netflix can make arrangements in advance before Blockbuster reacts, it may be able to realize their slogan in the future, becoming a network Blockbuster or even beyond. After all, the Internet has no boundaries."Li Feng explained with a smile.

"That's fine, I'll contact Eugene."

Thinking of Blockbuster, which is now in full swing, Wang Siqing reacted immediately. After all, Blockbuster is not a small company and has enough influence in the media field. Media has always been one of the focuses of Li Feng’s layout. Wang Siqing is naturally aware of this. Is cleared.

Li Feng attaches great importance to the importance of the Internet in the media field. As a person close to Li Feng, Wang Siqing understands that now Li Feng's media group is 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-life businesses can be realized on the Internet, so that real-life businesses will face Major challenge.

There is no doubt that if netfix can replace Blockbuster in reality in the future, it will be a very important part of Li Feng's future media field layout. Thinking of these, Wang Siqing has paid more attention.

...

"John, Eugene replied that he wanted to meet with the founder team of other people. It is too late today. He will make an appointment with them and can arrange it tomorrow."

Wang Siqing quickly contacted Xu Youyu and gave Li Feng an affirmative reply within a short while.

"That's OK, Silicon Valley is really a good place. I think this netfix company is very creative. You have seen it. The DVD rentals in Blockbuster stores are really good, but you think, you just need to place an order directly online at home. , And then netfix company will mail it home for free, and you can rent the DVD you want without leaving the house. There are many aspects.

Since I can do things at home, why should I go to Blockbuster or DVD rental shops on the street? This is the convenience and superiority of the Internet, and it is also a major challenge facing many companies in reality. .After Li Feng stretched, he smiled and said to Wang Siqing.

"John, hearing what you said, I feel that Blockbuster should also launch corresponding services, after all, they are not fools." Wang Siqing replied with a smile.

"Yeah, this is a matter of chronological order, and there is also the need to have'Internet thinking', but I am not optimistic about Blockbuster. After all, if you really want to do this, the leases in the reality of others, this can be It's all trouble, I really like this company called netfix." Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Hehe..., I hope it's as you wish."

"That's natural. I voted for the netfix company, and even I want to occupy a major shareholder. In the future, the media group can complement each other."
