Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 418 Zhu Ke is a dragon

Netflix Inc.

After receiving news, I learned that Zu Ke wanted to take a stake in Netflix. Netflix immediately convened its board of directors and made a decision without hesitation after an hour of discussion.

"You mustn't let that guy, Zucker Wald, become a shareholder of Netflix, he is a dragon!" Danon West said solemnly.

Denon West is one of Netflix's shareholder representatives, representing Barclays.

Barclays Bank is a commercial bank in the United Kingdom and the third largest banking company in the United Kingdom after HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland. As early as 1998, its total assets under management exceeded 350 billion US dollars, making it one of the proper economic giants.

"I also disagree with Zucker Wald joining Netflix!"

George Smith laughed: "Everyone, don't forget the lessons of McAfee (antivirus) software company. McAfee's founder and former chairman Samenook was ruthlessly kicked out of McAfee by Zucker. and was dismissed from all duties.”

Reed Hastings: "..."

Not just Reed Hastings was silent, but Netflix's management and founding team were silent.

Netflix is ​​under a lot of pressure in the recent period, especially the lack of sufficient funds.

Zucker's money, of course, is the goal of management teams like Reed Hastings, but they also worry about lessons learned.

McAfee changed hands, even though Zucker handled it very quickly, he still left a bad name!

Kick the founder out of the company~ It's hard to say or not!

"Ha ha!"

George Smith laughed again: "When I learned the news yesterday, I told my boss Mr. BlackRock as soon as possible. He said bluntly: I don't like Zucker Wald very much, and even a little disgusted."

The voice fell, and everyone present was shocked.

Mr. BlackRock, owner of George Smith, who is he?

Speaking of this, I have to mention one company - BlackRock Group!

It is also known as the Black Rock Group,

It sounds similar to another company, Blackstone Group, but in fact both companies are large companies.

BlackRock is one of the largest publicly traded investment management groups in the United States, serving clients worldwide through its offices in the United States, Europe and Asia.

In 2009, BlackRock merged with Merrill Lynch, one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street;

In 2011, the assets of listed companies managed by BlackRock exceeded US$3.6 trillion;

In 2019, BlackRock Group increased its holdings in HSBC Holdings, with nearly 75.58 million shares, replacing Ping An Asset Management, and became the largest shareholder of HSBC Holdings again.

Barclays Bank accounts for more than 20% of Netflix;

BlackRock Group owns more than 8% of Netflix;

The shareholder representatives of the two companies refuted Zucker's entry into Netflix, which will naturally greatly affect the opinions of other shareholders and shareholder representatives.

The remaining shareholders...

There are the world's largest private equity fund Blackstone Group, the American Growth Foundation, etc., they don't care what they say, but in the end, they stand on the side of Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group, and oppose Zucker's entry into Netflix.

........

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

"Am I poking a hornet's nest?"

"The efficiency of Netflix's board of directors is so fast, and more than 85% of the shareholders who oppose my entry into Netflix?!"

"How much do they hate me?"

"I am the dragon?"

"It's just ridiculous!"

Zucker stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, his eyes looked into the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little anger in his heart.

McAfee changed hands, and Zucker suffered a bad name. And the impact is bad, beyond imagination.

"Even if I am so notorious, I won't let the shareholders representatives of Netflix have such a strong attitude towards my shareholding?!"

To be honest, Zhu Ke and Netflix had nothing to do with each other before.

Even Netflix shareholders, Barclays, BlackRock, Blackstone, American Growth Fund...  

Zucker also dared to say: there is no intersection.

"How did such a big evil idea come from?!" Classmate Zhu Ke was puzzled.

dong dong dong~

Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Who came in was the chief assistant Alexander.

"Boss, Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group, I have found the reason why you opposed your entry into Netflix." Alexander handed Zucker a piece of information.

It has to be said that Alexander is very capable.

【material】

As soon as he read the information, Zucker was immediately happy.

"I said that Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group, how can they hate me so much, it turns out that I caused them huge losses, no wonder!"

As we all know, before the burst of the Internet bubble, Zucker was one of the "lucky" getaways, even if he sold Internet stocks and technology stocks, Zucker made a lot of money.

Then, the Internet bubble burst!

Countless Internet companies and listed companies have gone bankrupt and went bankrupt, and the losses have been heavy. Countless investors and investment institutions complained one after another.

Well, two of them are Barclays and BlackRock.

But.... what did Zucker do?

Go short!

Going short!

Taking advantage of the detonation of the Internet bubble, Zhu Ke, as one of the earliest escapees, has a large cash flow reserve, and is naturally able to overturn the river in the stock market.

Barclays Bank, BlackRock Group, suffer from it!

The direct economic losses caused by Zucker to their two companies exceeded 5 billion US dollars, and the indirect economic losses exceeded 30 billion US dollars.

"Boss, if I were a senior executive of Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group, I would hate you too." Alexander laughed.

Zucker nodded and smiled: "I guess if Barclays Bank and BlackRock hadn't been completely liberated from the whirlpool of the Internet bubble, they would have already retaliated against me."

Remorse is not exclusive to Zucker.

Looking around the world, there are simply too many people who hold grudges, and they can completely fill a Pacific Ocean.

"Boss, is this the end of Netflix's business?"

Alexander asked.

To be honest, Alexander hopes that Zucker can cooperate with Netflix. After all, the more than 1,500 movies in the film library are all rotten in the film library and have no economic value at all.

"So far? That won't work!"

Zucker smiled and said: "Netflix lost more than 45 million US dollars in the first half of the year. If it is not bad, they will be disconnected from the capital chain in a few days. Barclays Bank and BlackRock Group are rich. Yes, but they haven't been freed from the dotcom bubble and I don't believe they'll pay to save Netflix!"

"Oh~ I can wait!"

The streaming media giant has a great effect on building Zhu Ke's media empire!
