Not only Ronan, Will Smith and Tom Cruise are gaining both fame and fortune, but also Netflix's management and core employees. With Netflix's online listing, Netflix's stock price has risen step by step, and Netflix has also added a group of millionaires and millionaires.

The listing brings Netflix not only sufficient development funds, but also huge internal incentives.

With relatively sufficient funds, Netflix's business in North America continues to steadily improve, and its overseas business expands rapidly.

Especially in some markets that were basically zero before, Netflix has now established overseas branches to promote all its businesses.

Supported by key funds, Netflix completed its entire EU market layout in July.

In addition, the Arab branch was established, but there were many restrictions. For example, all film and television works in the streaming media business must be reviewed before they can appear on the Arab version of the website.

If a company wants to enter the overseas market, it must first adapt to the overseas market, rather than let the overseas market adapt to you.

Netflix's public relations work in Russia has also reached its final stage. With a large amount of funds being spent, the Russian market has basically opened its doors to Netflix.

For example, in the South Korean, Japanese and Southeast Asian markets, Netflix branches have been established and related businesses have been launched. In the absence of competitors, it is a completely dominant situation.

Correspondingly, many websites that imitate Netflix share also sprung out like mushrooms after a rain, gradually breaking through the ground.

This is unavoidable.

In Ronan's view, Netflix also needs competitors.

Companies without competitors are often the beginning of death.

Of course, Netflix has already occupied an absolute leading position in the same industry and will never let peers threaten it appear.

Netflix's management, led by Mark Randolph, also drooled at the infinitely vast market, trying to enter, and used the network that Embassy Film Corporation has been deeply engaged there for many years to have preliminary contact with relevant responsible departments.

Ronan did not interfere. Some things that Netflix people must touch before they can understand.

This contact ended completely in failure. In the words of Mark Randolph, the possibility of Netflix entering that market is basically zero.

Not to mention that Netflix's current market value exceeds US$50 billion, even if it is a company worth US$100 billion, the market there is still an insulator.

Moreover, related businesses have appeared in the market over there and have received strong support.

Ronan knew very well that under normal circumstances, Netflix-related businesses could not enter the market there at all.

This incident can also make Netflix's management deeply understand this.

For some considerations, Ronan would turn a blind eye to many things related to the other side, otherwise it would be possible that the divine beasts would fall from the sky.

Another point is that Ronan emphasized at the meetings attended by senior management of Relativity Entertainment, including the participation of senior management of various subsidiaries, that every overseas market must be respected, and in particular, no political remarks related to overseas markets shall be made public.

If you don’t understand, just shut up and don’t cause trouble for the group company.

Otherwise, don't blame him for dismissing others without mercy.

The so-called American freedom, anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, and the double standards should not be too obvious!

Regarding this, Ronan requires that the management of each company must be conveyed to the hands of every employee of the Relativity Entertainment Group in the form of formal documents.

Of course, Relativity Entertainment has not cooperated with NBA before, and will not cooperate with NBA in the future.

The same is true for Netflix.

In late this month, Netflix reached an agreement with NFL to become NFL's only online live broadcast platform in North America.

In addition to the previous Premier League, Netflix Video already has the Internet live broadcast rights for two ace events.

At the same time, Netflix Video is also discussing the copyright of the online broadcast of the UEFA Champions League.

While taking over more content, Netflix and Conscart reached an agreement to officially expand their streaming business to the set-top box on-demand broadcast of limited TV stations.

This also means that Netflix's programs can be watched through various devices such as computers, TVs and smartphones.

Rich content, sufficient funds, and good user experience have enabled Netflix's business to develop rapidly.

In addition to traditional terminal channel businesses such as computers and TVs, Netflix has invested more resources in the promotion of smartphone terminals.

Nowadays, most of the smartphones you can see on the market have pre-installed Netflix apps.

Netflix has also entered Apple's software platform.

Also this month, another negotiation that has never been interrupted has basically achieved results due to Netflix's hot performance after its listing and its actually nearly monopoly market performance.

Initiated by Netflix, including many mobile phone manufacturers, software service providers, telecom operators, and chip and hardware suppliers represented by Qualcomm, more than 30 companies, including more than 30 companies, have carefully discussed the new generation of open intelligent operating systems designed by the market and the Android companies under Netflix, and officially decided to establish an open handheld device alliance to establish an Android operating system as one of the standards for the new generation of smart terminals.

Subsequently, the Open Handheld Device Alliance will conduct cooperation negotiations with nearly 100 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators around the world.

Of course, Netflix was able to lead the establishment of this alliance, but of course it also paid a considerable price.

For example, open source code, and jointly develop and improve Android systems with the Open Handheld Device Alliance and many partners.

Of course, if you want to use the Android system, you must obtain Netflix's authorization, and the authorization is free.

But all Android systems will have Netflix's service framework.

With the joint promotion of many partners, Android quickly passed the approval of the Federal Communications Commission.

Ronan will not only satisfy these. Android will win a wider market for Netflix in handheld terminals. In addition to mobile operating systems, Android will gradually expand to tablets and other fields, such as TVs, digital cameras, game consoles, smart watches, etc.

In addition, Ronan also contacted Steve Jobs, and if possible, he wanted to pull Apple into this alliance.

Ronan also once again invited Steve Jobs to have an interview.

Previously, Steve Jobs used the reason for his poor physical condition to avoid the situation of seeing the king with Ronan.

In fact, the two agents, Robert Eiger and John Lasseter, often met.

In fact, Luo Nan also knows that it is beneficial to not seeing each other for the time being. After all, the situations that may be involved in both sides are very complicated. The following people will just continue to talk if they break down.

If his talk with Steve Jobs breaks, it will really break.

Once the king sees that the king collapses, there will be no room for change.

Therefore, both of them are waiting for the most appropriate time.

It seems that what Ronan said in an interview when he rang the bell, Steve Jobs sent a message through John Lasseter, believing that he could have an interview with Ronan next month.

The specific time and location depends on the situation.

Ronan knew that many of the things that Robert Eiger and John Lasseter had discussed for a long time during this meeting will be determined by him and Steve Jobs.

The establishment of the Open Handheld Device Alliance is also good news.

In late July, Ronan also convened the first board of directors after Netflix went public and revealed more plans for Netflix's future development.

For example, Netflix map navigation, Netflix live video broadcast, etc.

These are long-term plans.

Today, Netflix is ​​no longer a streaming service provider, but an industry giant that has penetrated into the Internet.

In early August, Netflix released its first operating data after its listing.

As of the end of July 2005, Netflix had a total of 40.65 million registered users in North America and 19.65 million registered users overseas, of which the proportion of paid users was as high as 79%, and the number of monthly paid users exceeded 62% of the total number of users.

While Netflix is ​​constantly attracting new users quickly, it also shows enough customer stickiness.

Compared with Netflix, which is soaring in the financial capital market, Relativity Entertainment Group, as an absolute holding company, seems a little silent and continues to develop rapidly and steadily.

Since acquiring Yijiang Film’s copyright library, Relativity Entertainment has not made any big moves in expansion and large investment.

Although films have been successful, including projects like "Peppa Pig" that have an annual revenue of hundreds of millions of dollars, Relativity Entertainment only enters and does not leave. After the huge cash flow into the company, it becomes silent.

Only Ronan, Robert Iger and Mary know best that the reserve funds saved by the group company can be launched at any time, and the United States Bank, which has been working with, can provide large loans. Today, Relativity Entertainment can now raise and mobilize billions of dollars of funds relatively easily.

The Pirates of the Caribbean series is also an important source of cash flow.

From the release of the first Pirates of the Caribbean, the net profit in box office was only more than US$90 million, but with the offline operations in the past two years, the total profit has long exceeded US$200 million.

Many Hollywood companies publish the profits of their popular movies every year, and the profit margins are so low that it is outrageous. In fact, the data of many films are the box office profits of that year.

Offline operations are long-term, and not all counts can be counted every year.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Cave" spent its fifth weekend in North American theaters, with a box office of over US$400 million, with a cumulative amount of US$412.15 million.

Overseas, the overseas box office of this film also exceeded US$500 million.

The global box office of the film is about to exceed one billion dollars.

The third "End of the World" has also been released, and will be released globally on next year's Independence Day schedule.

Unlike Netflix, which requires financial capital market support, the film and television business has always been the largest and most stable source of income for Relative Entertainment.

So, Ronan will not relax in this regard.

Marvel Entertainment is an important part of the film and television business in the future.
