Start with hooves

The crisis is temporarily nipped in the bud, but the aftermath is not over yet.

Other shareholders of Netflix Entertainment are very satisfied with Suri's tough response.

In order to avoid being sniped by media giants again before it goes on the market, it will affect the market's confidence in it.

Suri's allies have taken action to directly or indirectly influence other media, including the three major newspapers, "The Wall Street Journal", "USA Today" and "The New York Times", adding insult to injury and accusing several major media groups of trying to abuse their monopoly position and block technology. Innovation.

In an article in the New York Times, it was written

——"We hope to see fair competition and bring more exciting online dramas to the public, instead of being envious of Suri's talent and fabricating news to seek other interests."

The Wall Street Journal also says

——"It can be seen from this incident that many TV stations and film and television companies have indeed felt the pressure brought by technological development. This also proves that Netflix Entertainment is a great company and worth holding for the long term. Its stock.”

This view is also unanimously endorsed by many well-known investment consultants.

In just one and a half years, the stock price of Netflix's parent company has increased by about five times, making it one of the most impressive Internet companies in recent years.

Facing a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars, Goldman Sachs Group, Blackstone Group, Black Rock Group, State Street Group, etc., which hold large shares of Netflix’s parent company, are happy to provide more support for Suri. Many senior executives Guan personally spoke out, helped support, and began to sell the stocks of several major media and film and television companies.

The reason for selling the stock is not because of their good intentions.

Wall Street keenly seizes the opportunity to short-sell and suppress these established companies, just like Suri, taking advantage of the opportunity to harvest leeks.

To put it bluntly, in the United States, individual excellence does not count as greatness. Only with the help of powerful allies can one be truly amazing.

Now that Suri can help them make money, many institutions and wealthy businessmen want to give him a favor in exchange for other benefits in the future.

As for several media and film and television giants... they are already established companies and can bring limited benefits to investors.

This is part of the reason why Suri dared to jump out and fight back publicly.

To his surprise, even the stock god Warren Buffett helped him, saying that he liked watching "Prison Break" and "The Big Bang Theory" very much, which gave him the rare idea of ​​investing in an Internet company.

This prompted the stock price of Berkshire Hathaway, managed by Buffett, to rise sharply, and valuation agencies were impatient to raise the valuation of Netflix Entertainment to US$150 billion.

Even the Tweet microblogging platform, which was just acquired by Suri, became famous in this dispute and received a latest valuation of about US$8 million.

A start-up company that faces a break in its capital chain at any time and a high-quality entrepreneurial project that is absolutely controlled by Su Rui are completely different things.

In Suri's hands, Tweet is not short of funds, but can also win the favor of other investors. In addition, the number of newly registered users has surged by more than 2400 million in just a few days, attracting many celebrities to use it, and its valuation has certainly taken off. .

Just look at it from the books.

Just a few days after investing in Tweet, it has already helped Suri earn a lot of money...

Seeing that the chicken was stolen but the rice was lost, suddenly the wind changed direction and he was on fire.

Many celebrities and companies were unlucky, and several eye-catching news broke out one after another, including the fact that soldiers stole gold and cultural relics in the Middle East.

This is obviously a sign that several media giants are starting to save themselves and are playing tricks to divert public attention.

Su Rui noticed the problem in advance and quietly closed his position to cash out. During the entire process of shorting media and film and television stocks, he made a total of more than 2 million US dollars.

Looking at this kind of money-making speed, you can understand why those Wall Street businessmen like to collect wool from all over the world. Compared with down-to-earth accumulation of wealth, speculation makes money too fast.

Therefore, even if nothing happens, they are always thinking about doing something.

…    In order to avoid being resented, one suffers revenge afterwards.

Suri lit the fire and ran away. Ever since he publicly posted on Tweet and went shopping wearing a short-sleeved shirt with "Fake News!" printed on it, he has not publicly commented on this matter again. He quietly made a fortune.

Time flies to the beginning of August.

Hoshino Yuko and Daddario are both in Los Angeles, and Suri's parents have also rushed back from Washington.

July 8nd.

In the vault of a Beverly Hills mansion.

Su Rui was busy looking at the three bronzes that had just been delivered this morning. They were the Warring States bronze inlaid with gold and silver Yue Wangzhi (not only) sword, the uniquely shaped bronze dragon from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the bronze Taotie pattern square statue from the late Shang Dynasty.

He had sent people to help find the bronzes before, and they soon found their whereabouts. From a large number of targets, he selected these three exquisite pieces.

A total of 2700 million U.S. dollars was spent on these three collections. Among them, the most valuable bronze Taotie pattern Fang Zun was purchased for a high price of 1600 million U.S. dollars.

The auction house's commissions and handling fees are too expensive, and you have to face huge taxes and fees afterwards. In addition, the scale of Chinese bronze collectors is limited, so it is not troublesome to acquire them privately.

Dad Su thinks that taking advantage of the money to buy some valuable collections and put them at home is equivalent to saving money.

Standing next to Suri now, he complained:

"No wonder many people are racking their brains to climb up the ladder. Those people in Washington are too rich. I thought they couldn't spend much money. Unexpectedly, they spent millions or tens of millions of dollars, and the amount raised exceeded 1 million US dollars. After that, I didn’t dare to charge more.”

"Doesn't the guaranteed income of 15% per year mean that our family has to give them more than million a year?"

"I didn't have access to that level before. After understanding it, I realized why ordinary people's lives are getting worse and worse..."

Su Rui already knew the scale of funds raised in advance and said calmly:

"There are only so many people who are truly capable of helping our family, and that's enough now. It's best if they don't come in handy in the future. If I need their help one day, establishing a good relationship in advance can help me avoid a lot of trouble. "

"I understand, you still have to spend it..."

Dad Su didn't care about money, he just felt that the upper class society was too realistic and he was a little uncomfortable with it for a while.

It turns out that my family opened a dental clinic in Chinatown and had to pay protection fees to the gang.

Later, when I opened a clinic near Echo Park in Los Angeles, I still had to pay for it, otherwise it would be easy to make things difficult for me.

I thought I was finally getting through it, but I didn't expect that I would still have to be vulgar after all.

The difference is that in the past, I was forced to pay protection fees, but this time I took the initiative to ask for help.

Large companies have to prepare a "public relations lobbying fee". This method is very American. The more money someone spends, the easier it is for his or her ideas and suggestions to be adopted, and thus more benefits can be obtained.

Suri's business has grown.

If competitors are "lobbying" one after another but he does not do "public relations", he will easily fall into a disadvantage and suffer a big loss in a daze.

Let parents go to Washington to make friends just to get a relatively safe business environment... (End of chapter)
