Malibu was established in 1991 and is located west of Los Angeles with a population of 12,000. It is surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the north.

It is the closest to several Hollywood studios, and has beautiful scenery with mountains and the sea. Many movies have been shot here. The long coastline from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara has made this place a favorite of Hollywood movie stars.

The place.

Kaos was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, lying on the beach sun lounger. The huge sun umbrella blocked the direct sunlight, and some cool sea breeze brought a little bit of coolness, which also made Kaos feel a little bit cooler.

Lazy.

Next to Kaos, Lin Yifei was wearing a lavender shirt and shorts, revealing her white arms and long legs. She was wearing a pair of flip-flops of the same color on her feet, sitting on a sun lounger with Yaxi in her arms.

above.

Lin Yifei's eyes scanned the surroundings back and forth, as if she was looking for something. The gold anklet on her ankle made a crisp and subtle bell sound as her white feet swayed, adding some color to the waves on this beach.

Music makes Kaos even more lazy.

"Stinky girl, don't look at it. I'm really here to relax and talk business. I didn't date any beautiful women at all."

Feeling Lin Yifei's movements, Kaos, who was wearing sunglasses and squinting, said helplessly.

I just attended a banquet last night and met Zhang Ziyi. I came to a place like the beach this morning. No wonder Lin Yifei was suspicious and had to come and have a look.

In Lin Yifei's words, Kaos is still chasing Natalie at school, so how can he have sex with other women outside, so she must correct Kaos' unhealthy habits.

But this obviously underestimates Kaos, he is the kind of peerless scumbag.

Obviously yes, if Lin Yifei hadn't followed, Kaos would have invited Zhang Ziyi over to try out those large-scale photos of the beach.

"Huh, when we talk about business, do you want to do it alone?"

After arriving here and waiting for a long time, apart from the tourists in the distance, there were only two of them and eight or nine bodyguards nearby. This made Lin Yifei still not believe that Kaos was here to discuss business.

"Haha, Sissi, you really misunderstood. The guest just arrived a little late."

Lin Zhiling came over with two middle-aged men in their forties, heard Lin Yifei's words and answered with a smile.

At this time, Kaos also slowly sat up from the sun lounger and looked at the two people brought by Lin Zhiling. It was obvious that he had been waiting here for so long just to wait for each other.

"Then let's talk. I went to the beach to play in the water."

After confirming that it was really not another woman, Lin Yifei stopped pestering Kaos. She hugged Yaxie and nodded politely towards the two visitors, then walked towards the seaside.

Although she usually pesters Kaos in various ways, Lin Yifei is very clear about business matters and will not disturb Kaos' work at all.

"Well, be careful."

Kaos nodded and looked at the three plainclothes bodyguards. After following them, he gave a very reassuring warning. He turned to look at the two visitors, shook hands one by one and said: "Reed Hastings, Mark

Randolph, please take a seat, would you like something to drink?"

"Just give us juice as well."

Hastings glanced at the juice on the table next to Kaos. He sat down and spoke with a smile. His eyes scanned the nearby scenery at the same time. He came because he was invited, and he was still a little nervous, but he instantly relaxed.

Come down.

Compared with Hastings, who needs to be more calm and big-hearted to manage the company and be able to face pressure better, the founder of flix performed much worse.

After entering the venue and sitting down, I was right next to Hastings, and my body was quite tense, as if Hastings was the leader.

"Okay, let's get you two glasses of juice."

Kaos said to Lin Zhiling, but kept observing the two of them. After confirming each other's priorities, Kaos looked at Hastings and said, "Do you have any idea of ​​selling Flix?"

If we say that the giant that has survived the Internet is Amazon, flix is ​​an underestimated existence and a target that Kaos is very interested in.

But before, I just quietly observed flix's thoughts, and immediately made an appointment with the two of them to meet.

"That's right. We talked to Blockbuster before, but unfortunately they rejected it."

Hastings and Mark looked at each other, excitement flashed in their eyes, and they became excited because they had guessed the purpose of Kaos's invitation.

Since the Internet bubble, flix, as an online DVD rental company, has been greatly affected and entered a difficult period, which also gave the two people the idea of ​​selling the company.

Unfortunately, such a proposal was ruthlessly rejected by Blockbuster. In the eyes of the other party, US$50 million was too expensive.

With the development of streaming media behind flix, the Internet speed will be able to keep up after 2007, allowing users to watch movies directly online. flix has continuously produced many excellent works. In the eyes of Kaos, flix is ​​not worth 50 million US dollars.

.

After all, in 2020, the mainland's major online video platforms are still operating at a loss, and they are obviously not as good as other industries. Even Netflix's upper limit is limited in the later period, and it is not very popular with capital.

All because the competition in this industry is too fierce and it cannot completely dominate the market share.

Flix constantly produces good works to attract the attention of users. Otherwise, today it may be worth hundreds of billions, but tomorrow if there is bad news, the market value will plummet by dozens of percent, and its position will be robbed by competitors.

"Oh, do you two really want to give up?"

Kaos looked at Hastings and continued to ask.

"Mr. Kaos, we originally expected that in 2002, the Internet speed would support us to directly play movies online for users to watch, which is the ideal of flix. However, the reality is sad. At least in four or five years, the current Internet speed will not develop

It’s completely impossible, but our funds can no longer support it.”

Kaos's words made Hastings even more excited. Although he described his company's troubles, Hastings continued: "But I believe that our path is correct. As long as the Internet comes online in a few years,

Speed ​​can support showing movies to users, and Flix will inevitably surpass Blockbuster and monopolize this market."

"How much money do you need, and what conditions can you give me?"

After confirming that there was no problem with the other party's business idea, Kaos took a sip of juice, and then smiled and said what the two of them wanted to hear most.
