Start by trimming cow hooves

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has recently been increasing its holdings in shares of Netflix's parent company on the advice of Goldman Sachs partner David Levine.

Just having the opportunity to contact Suri, David Levin asked tentatively:

"When I went to Netflix Entertainment to do research, your CEO Ricky Trenz told me that you plan to launch five new dramas this year? Are you sure it will be as popular as "The Walking Dead"?"

Suri shrugged and said:

"I never do anything I'm not sure about. If you don't have confidence in me, why not sell me part of the shares of Netflix's parent company that you have? It should be quite valuable in the future."

David Levine was stunned for a moment, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry:

"You already hold 49% of the shares. You had the opportunity to become a major shareholder. As far as I know, you didn't fight for it. Now you want more say?"

Taking the cut cigar from the old butler, Suri handed one to David Levine, holding a lighter in his hand and explained:

"There is indeed a chance, but it will be very troublesome. You know the strength of those media oligarchs better than I do. If I were the only Chinese-American in the company, it is very likely that "The Walking Dead" would not even have a chance to be released, and it would be banned by the Federal Communications Commission. Such organizations should find an excuse to forcibly block them."

Silicon Valley is no longer the Silicon Valley it was more than ten years ago. The so-called openness and freedom can be ignored.

If a start-up company wants to stand out, it will be difficult to develop without being peeled off by various forces. Like Zuckerberg, it's pretty good to still have about 28% of Facebook's shares after it goes public.

The water in the American media field is also particularly deep.

Behind each TV station, there are often various financial groups, which have a particularly close relationship with Washington.

If Su Rui had come forward, he would have dared to confront them single-handedly.

Regarding a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year, the problem Netflix Entertainment is facing now is probably not lawsuits slowing down its development. Anything can happen.

David Levine knows a lot and knows a thing or two.

He turned to look at Suri, smoked a cigar and said:

"You are very smart, and there is absolutely no benefit in offending them. If it is just your company, they have many ways to kill you. For example, use hearings to slow down the progress of the company, release all kinds of negative news about you, or even make up some fake news. Wait until When they are finally willing to let you go, they will have already carved up the market, which is already a relatively good result, and there are even more extreme methods."

In the U.S.

When you are a fool under a happy education, your life is indeed very relaxed and free.

The higher you climb, the more you can feel the intertwined network, which monopolizes almost all profitable businesses, continues to suck blood from the world, and uses the tide of US dollars to repeatedly harvest, using very dirty methods.

For example, the military-industrial complex has displaced tens of millions of people and caused millions of people to die in wars without batting an eyelid, just worrying about not making enough money.

Wanting to make a fortune in the United States without the strength may be fatal. It is no different than a child living in a busy city with money, but being surrounded by gangsters with gangster genes.

Simple calculation.

Maybe you can spend $1 million to find a desperado, send Suri to see God, admit afterwards that he is a mental patient, etc., reach an agreement with the prosecutor, and quickly eliminate the impact.

For a mere US$1 million, some people can earn tens of billions more. Such a bargain is enough to make many people take risks.

This is what David Levine calls a more extreme method. With the development of Silicon Valley today, there are fewer and fewer opportunities, and the potential huge benefits of Netflix Entertainment’s online TV streaming business have begun to emerge.

Although Suri is famous, in the end he still works alone.

Now that we are giving up some of our interests and treating An Anxin as a second shareholder who is only responsible for filming dramas, with institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Texas Pacific Group, and Waterfall Investments helping to shelter us from the wind and rain, at least there is a chance that this company can survive. The most dangerous and most profitable early stage of development.

Sighing softly, Su Rui said:

"Ever since I was a child and found out that even my grandfather's small dental clinic had to pay protection fees to street gangs and couldn't even open a restaurant without support, I knew that doing business in the United States would be very troublesome. Some people think that I Silly, I took the initiative to give up the controlling stake. In fact, I just dispersed the money that should be invested in Netflix Entertainment to other places, which also had the opportunity to bring me benefits and reduced many risks..."

Hear the words.

David Levine nodded and said:

"This decision is correct. Even we at Goldman Sachs will occasionally encounter some difficult situations. Once we offend the wrong person, we will face scrutiny, fines or lawsuits. Even if you choose to acquire the parent company of Netflix, I believe it will soon We also need to raise funds and help others share the cake, and the situation will only be worse than it is now."

Netflix Entertainment adopts a board of directors management system.

As long as Suri can make other shareholders rich, coupled with his own right to speak, he has a chance to control the company through his influence on the board of directors.

Whether he becomes the controlling shareholder or not has no impact on him.

The company's development environment directly affects its future prospects. Seeing how wise Suri is, David Levin suddenly becomes more optimistic about Netflix Entertainment and is considering investing some money in it.

The topic was brought back to Apple.

David Levine told:

"According to the news I got, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is very dissatisfied with the microprocessors on the market and is investing in the development of new models. Our company's analysts believe that by then, the performance of its mobile terminal products may be greatly improved. Now The key problem was that Jobs was in poor health and no one else could manage the company as well as he could."

Suri smiled and said:

"I'm not too worried. Apple's management model is relatively mature. It has a R\u0026D team and sufficient funds. Even if the worst happens, others will still have the opportunity to achieve good results as long as they don't force changes. .”

Today's general environment is not much different from the previous life.

With the popularity of 3G, the market share of smart phones will only continue to increase.

From a businessman's point of view, Suri would doubt that Tesla died midway, but he was very relieved about the already established Apple company. As others have said, when the wind blows, pigs can fly into the sky. Now is the era of Apple.

As for fifteen years from now, it’s hard to say.

He wants to move the Fisker brand to the mainland, which is just the beginning.

If nothing else happens, in the next ten years, Suri will disperse most of his wealth to other places, including the mainland, Singapore, Hong Kong and other places.

America is just a little messed up today.

If things continue to go downhill in the future and racial conflicts continue to intensify, his situation will most likely become very dangerous, and he needs to be careful in advance...
