The leisurely life of the rich start

Xu Lin said with a serious face: "Mr. Zhang, I promise it will be fine!"

"great, good luck."

Zhang Da nodded and sat in his seat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Zhang Xiang stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, the annual report of Netflix Group has been sent!"

Chapter 337 Timely Rain

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the entire meeting room immediately focused on Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Da said, "I want to be vice president, you share the annual report with everyone in the meeting room."

Zhang Xiang nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will upload the annual report to the group's network disk, the password is Md16888, everyone download it."

Half a minute later, Zhang Xiang looked at his laptop and said, "Mr. Zhang, colleagues, the annual report has been uploaded. I created a new folder in the network disk, and the name is 'Hu Hu Sheng Wei'."

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of keyboard tapping in the meeting room.

Everyone downloaded Netflix's annual report with their own laptops, and then read the annual report quietly.

Half an hour later, Zhang Da raised his head from the computer screen.

His gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the conference room.

Except for a few people who are still immersed in the Netflix annual report, most people have finished reading the annual report and are now looking at him.

From the faces of many people, he also saw a tacit smile.

So, Zhang Da clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Everyone, have you read the annual report?"

Most of the executives said in unison: "Mr. Zhang, it's over!"

The rest of the people also raised their heads: "Mr. Zhang, I have read all the main data!"

"Everyone, it seems that Netflix has made a decision for us," Zhang Da said, "Then start preparing for the implementation of the third-day plan!"

Although Netflix’s annual report shows that the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders in fiscal year 2021 was US$51.16 billion, a year-on-year increase of 85.28%.

Operating income has declined compared to last year.

To make matters worse, the group's operating income in the fourth quarter was US$77.09 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 16.03%.

Obviously, this is not good news.

"Mr. Zhang, the increase in shareholders' profits is good news for us." Zhang Xiang said, "On the one hand, we can get more dividends, and on the other hand, it can also enhance the confidence of other shareholders in Netflix."

"Well, let's carry out the increase plan first." Zhang Da laughed, "This time there are three action plans, high-profile! High-profile! Still high-profile!"

"Understood, Mr. Zhang! I organized some employees of investment companies and private equity companies to work overtime, and I will immediately ask them to purchase stocks." Zhang Xiang replied, "This time, we will take the initiative to spread the news abroad. When necessary , I will personally stand for Netflix stock.”

Zhang Da said: "For the vice president, you'd better not stand on the stage in person, you have to maintain your image."

"Mr. Zhang, I didn't fool them." Zhang wanted to understand his implication, "In the long run, Netflix's stock price will inevitably exceed the current price, especially after we share dividends with them next year."

After Netflix Huaguo and Netflix Group pay dividends for the first time next year, Netflix Group will generate billions of dollars in turnover in an instant.

With such strong performance as support, the share price of Netflix Group will definitely soar by then.

Therefore, Zhang Xiang's plan also includes a plan to buy back Netflix shares after the stock price falls.

"Thank you for your hard work, vice president." Zhang Da nodded, "In addition to the normal overtime wages and night shift fees, the employees who work on the night shift also enjoy the same 50 yuan salary as the employees who work on the night shift at Netflix Huaguo. Subsidy for supper."

"I've already told Director Zhang of Finance about this expense, and you can pay directly from the company account when the time comes."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for supporting us!" Zhang Xiang got up and bowed, "The investment company and the private equity fund company must live up to your expectations!"

"it is good..."

Zhang Da nodded, and was about to announce the end of the meeting when the cell phone next to the laptop vibrated suddenly.

Otis, who hadn't contacted him for a while, suddenly called him.

Zhang Da frowned slightly, looked at Tang Haitao, who was more familiar with Otis, and asked, "Mr. Tang, have you been in contact with Otis from Heiyan recently?"

"No, not at all." Tang Haitao also frowned, "We haven't been in touch since the Liverpool team's three-way deal was completed."

"But Mr. Zhang, is it strange that he called you at this time?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Xu Tianze, who is mainly in charge of the work of the Liverpool team, echoed, "Otis is a scheming man. It's not that I want to treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. I'm afraid he's not kind!"

"Well, let me listen to what he has to say first."

Zhang Da nodded, made a silent gesture, then closed the laptop, and switched the phone to the public release mode, deliberately asked in Chinese:

"Hello, Mr. Otis, I haven't contacted you for a long time, why do you want to call me today?"

An unfamiliar voice came from the phone first, and then Zhang Da heard Otis say a few polite words in English.

Immediately, the unfamiliar voice spoke again:

"Good evening, Mr. Zhang, I miss you so much after a long time! You know, my Chinese is not good, so I brought a translator, please forgive me."

This time, the interpreter speaks Chinese.

'He brought a translator?Coming so prepared is obviously not a good person. '

Zhang Da raised his vigilance secretly, and continued to ask: "You are really considerate, Mr. Otis. You must have something important to discuss when you call late at night, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Mr. Zhang, I want to discuss a business with you!" Otis said, "I know that you own more than 6% of Netflix Group's stock, and now Black Rock Group holds Netflix Group 2 % of the stock, I am willing to trade all these stocks to you."

Zhang Da's expression instantly became a little subtle.

Otis, who was still penny-pinching in the previous two transactions, suddenly became the timely "Ao Gongming".

Such a huge contrast made him a little uncomfortable.

Not only Zhang Da, but all the executives in the conference room also showed surprise and surprise.

Tang Haitao kept gesturing to Zhang Da, asking him to stabilize first.

Zhang Da understood this, he hesitated and said:

"Mr. Otis, you should have read the annual report of Netflix Group, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Zhang, the freshly released annual report!" Otis confirmed, "Please allow me to congratulate you in advance, and you will receive a dividend of hundreds of millions of dollars."

Zhang Da half-truthfully said: "Come on, Netflix's operating income has dropped a lot, and the stock price may fall at any time. I don't know if the dividends can offset the loss of my stock."

Otis flattered: "Haha, it's just a simple labor pain. With the support of a successful investor like you, Netflix's stock price will definitely reach new heights."

Zhang Da pretended to be puzzled and said, "But if this is the case, why don't you continue to hold the shares of Netflix Group?"

"I personally also want to continue to hold shares in Netflix Group, but unfortunately the company's investment strategy has changed, so I have to give up these shares." Otis sighed, "Sorry, it involves some company secrets, I can't I will tell you in detail."

In fact, after seeing the annual report data, he had a premonition that Netflix's stock price might plummet, so he wanted to find an individual or group to take over the stock.

As for the reason for choosing Zhang Da?

Firstly, he was "casting a wide net and catching more fish".

Secondly, it was also due to his personal stubbornness and remnants.

In the first two deals with Mingda Investment Company, he hardly took advantage of it.

Heiyan elites who believe in the life philosophy of "wherever you fall, you must get up from there" must find a way to get back.

'Fudge, you continue to flick. '

While silently despising Lao Ao in his heart, Zhang Da said embarrassingly:

"Okay, but I'm still worried that Netflix's stock price will go down."

"So I have a proposal." Otis said, "I am willing to complete the transaction with you before the shareholder dividend date. The premise is that you also have the chips I want."

Chapter 338 'Friendship' Forever

Regarding Otis's proposal, Zhang Da did not reply in a hurry.

He raised his head and looked at the employees in the conference room.

Tang Haitao immediately held up a piece of A4 paper written with a bold black marker.

There are a total of five big characters on it: "Pretend to be reluctant"

Sitting next to Tang Haitao, Zhang Xiang also gave Zhang Da a thumbs up.

A knowing smile appeared on Zhang Da's face.

Then keep acting!

In order to reflect the emotion of "impatient", Zhang Da said in English: "Mr. Otis, I am not interested in the Netflix stock in your hand."

"Mr. Zhang, please believe that this is definitely a worthwhile investment."

Seeing Zhang Da omitting the translation process, Otis seemed a little impatient, so he sped up his speech, "I don't ask you to make a decision now. I think you might as well listen to my proposal."

"Well, it depends on our past friendship." Zhang Da continued to perform, "I'm sorry I can only give you 5 minutes, because the time here is getting late."

"Of course, thanks for your time."

Although there was no sense of "sorry" in Zhang Da's tone, Otis still said politely, "I hope to sell you the 631.17 million shares of Netflix in my hand at a price of $780 per share. "

"This transaction can be paid in full in cash, but installment payment is not accepted. In addition, I know that you have a close relationship with the Rolex Group, so I hope you can help facilitate my meeting with Rolex CEO Mr. Wilsdorf .”

"In return, we will pay you a financial consulting fee, the price can be negotiated. This financial consulting fee will be included in the transaction of Netflix Group stock in the form of cash."

"I understand your condition." Zhang Da said, "I will consider it carefully."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." Otis said, "As you know, there is only one week left before Netflix's shareholder dividend date, so I hope to get your reply before 12 o'clock on December 24th, Citigroup time. "

"No problem! Goodbye, Mr. Otis."

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhang."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Da looked at the people in the conference room again: "Everyone, what do you think?"

"Mr. Zhang, it's true that someone gave you a pillow when you were dozing off." Tang Haitao laughed, "However, we must not show any eagerness, otherwise it may arouse Otis' suspicion."

"But this large amount of Netflix stock, we must not miss it!" Zhang Xiang added, "I think we'd better keep a close attitude when negotiating, let Otis mistakenly think that we just think the profit of this deal There’s not much space, so there’s a reluctance to make a big fuss.”

"It's best if you don't buy Netflix's stock at a premium."

Currently, Netflix’s stock price is $618.69 per share.

The transaction price quoted by Otis obviously added the lost dividends to the Mingda Group.

Zhang Zhi said: "There is only more than one month left before the Spring Festival, I think this can also be used as a reason to prevaricate Otis."

"What everyone said makes sense." Zhang Da nodded and said, "Then I will contact Mr. Wilsdorf now to see if he is willing to talk to the Black Rock Group."

Everyone nodded in agreement, only Xu Tianze got up hesitantly and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have a question. Based on what I know about Otis, it seems he shouldn't be so eager?"

...

At the same time, in Otis' office.

"Boss, I don't know if I should say something..." Bob, one of Otis' deputy, said, "You seem to be too eager on the phone, and I'm afraid they will get suspicious."

Like Zhang Da, Otis and the others released the call publicly.

"Don't worry, Bob, I did it on purpose," Otis said calmly. "I want them to believe that I'm eager to sell my Netflix stock. Then they will bite the bait, keep pushing the price down, and then Help us get rid of this hot potato."

"But, boss, Mingda Group owns Netflix Huaguo after all, maybe their performance is really good?" Bob said with a little worry, "Although Netflix Huaguo is very low-key, it has not made it public yet. Data. However, the data found from the ios and Android system stores shows that the number of downloads of the Netflix Huaguo app has exceeded 3.6 million times.”

"This is a terrible number, accounting for more than 25% of the total population of China."

"Bob, don't worry, this is actually the reason why my boss and I judged that they would be willing to take over our stocks." John, another deputy, interjected, "Besides, the securities analysts and artificial intelligence big data within the group are in short term. Bearish on Netflix stock, what else do you have to worry about?"

"You're right, John."

Thinking of big data with extremely high accuracy, Bob finally nodded.

He said to Otis, "Sorry, boss, I was worrying too much."

"It's okay, Bob, thinking is a virtue." Otis said gracefully, sipping his coffee, "Next, we need to be more eager."

...

On the morning of the 24th, Zhang Da, who had just walked into the office, received another call from Otis.
