Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1160
Robert Iger's analysis of Netflix can only be described in two words from the beginning to the end, that is professionalism. If Lin Qian did not have an advanced international vision, then after listening to Robert Iger's words, I am afraid that Any thoughts of investing in Netflix will be quickly dispelled.

The so-called time makes heroes, sometimes the power of fate is so unpredictable.

If the world operates as quietly and stably as it is now, perhaps the fate of Netflix will really be like Robert Iger's analysis and prediction, either withstanding the pressure to achieve a counterattack, or falling from the throne overwhelmed.

However, only Lin Qian knew that just two years later, an unprecedented epidemic would sweep the world. At that time, everyone in the world would completely change their way of life because of this epidemic.

When everyone is locked at home, home entertainment has become a necessity for everyone. At this time, Netflix, which has a large number of high-quality exclusive film and television works, has naturally entered the eyes of many people.

In order to watch top-quality high-definition movies and TV series at home, and to watch those popular film and television works, many users can only choose to pay for membership.

In the past, when life was normal, many people were exhausted by work. Even if they had leisure time, most of them would go out with friends to play. There was only a little time to watch TV series and movies at home, and because of that little However, it costs more than ten dollars a month to pay for members, and many people are quite resistant to this.

However, during the epidemic, when most people's work was pressed to pause, and going out for entertainment became a luxury, home entertainment became the only choice for everyone, and at this time, if you spend more than a dozen dollars, you can enjoy Seeing a large number of high-quality high-definition film and television resources, everyone will not only feel that they are not expensive, but will feel that they are very valuable.

It is precisely because most people have such a mentality that Netflix will develop at a speed that is like a rocket in the next few years. Its market value has directly increased by more than seven times, from the original price of only 90 US dollars per share. At the peak, it soared to US$700 per share, and the market value reached the US$2500 billion mark, even surpassing the Disney Group for a certain period of time.

During the epidemic, countless industries around the world shut down, and countless companies caused huge losses due to the epidemic. However, Netflix turned against the wind in this epidemic, and directly chased after it. The media video playback platform is far behind.

Such a super potential stock, it would be fine if Lin Qian didn't meet Robert Iger, because now he doesn't have much interest in the continued growth of his wealth, but since he met Robert Iger today , The two chatted about business matters again, so he took advantage of the opportunity to talk about it, which can be regarded as making some contributions to his group.

"President Robert, there is a proverb in the West called Don't put all your eggs into the same basket, translated into Chinese it means don't put all your eggs in the same basket, that year won the Nobel Prize in Economics James Tobin used this sentence to sum up his investment portfolio theory, the essence of which is to tell people to know how to diversify their investments in the investment process, so as to avoid risks to the greatest extent.”

"However, judging from the current status of the Disney Group, President Robert, don't you think we have put all our eggs in one basket? If this basket suddenly turns over one day, our losses will probably be unprecedented. huge."

At the end of Lin Qian's speech, his eyes were meaningful.

Robert Iger was a smart man. He thought of the topic they had just talked about about the streaming media industry, and combined with Lin Qian's question just now, he soon knew what Lin Qian meant.

"Director Lin, do you mean that our group's current investment in offline is a bit too heavy?"

Robert Iger asked tentatively.

"Yes."

"That's what I meant."

"Let me make it clear again that I am very supportive of the acquisition plan of the [-]th Century Fox Group, but while you are fully promoting the acquisition of the [-]th Century Fox Group, I hope you can allocate some energy and consider the line. investment on

Facing Robert Iger's temptation, Lin Qian said frankly.

"Director Lin, are you optimistic about Netflix and HBO?"

Hearing this, Robert Iger pondered for a while, then asked again.

"No, to be precise, I'm only bullish on Netflix."

"HBO's main business has always been pay TV here. Although they are now developing in the streaming media industry, compared to Netflix, HBO cannot be called a purely streaming media industry company."

Lin Qian shook his head and answered truthfully.

"Director Lin, do you want to buy Netflix?"

Robert Iger stood up, picked up the decanting vessel not far away, poured wine into Lin Qian's red wine glass with his own hands, and asked him this at the same time.

"Yes."

Lin Qian nodded slightly, and then said: "I think the Disney Group is currently putting all its investments offline, which is a bit risky, so I think that in the next period of time, the Disney Group should make a layout online, what I mean Yes, after a while you will contact Netflix on behalf of the Disney Group, if they are willing to be acquired by us, then we will fully acquire it, if they do not agree to the acquisition, then we will invest in their company."

"So far, their company has raised twice in total, one in 2015 and one in 2016. This year and even in the future, they will definitely continue to raise money, because as you just said, if they want to continue to sit still If they want to take the leading position in the media video industry, they must further optimize their technology and produce high-quality exclusive content, and each of these two goals requires a lot of money to support them, so their financing will definitely not stop , and the amount of financing will also increase.”

Lin Qian didn't make detours with Robert Iger, he directly stated his request to Robert Iger.

As the super major shareholder holding nearly 40.00% of the Disney Group, Lin Qian's will is the will of the entire group, and Lin Qian's decision is the decision of the entire group, because with the share of equity in Lin Qian's hands, even all other shareholders Added up, there was not as much equity as Lin Qian held.

In a sense, Lin Qian has a veto right. As long as Lin Qian disagrees with any resolution, the resolution cannot be passed. As long as Lin Qian agrees with any resolution, the resolution must be passed. able to pass.

This……

It was Lin Qian's supreme power within the Disney Group!
