Chapter 1564 - Weak Strength

Michael Jackson, on his side, only got the digital rights of some of the music copyrights he owned, which was far from enough for Qin Feng.

However, at present, the five major record companies look down on this area, and they are unwilling to break away from the traditional sales model and turn to the online sales model.

Digital rights such as The Beatles alone can't attract enough fans to cheer for it.

If the iPod is launched now, I'm afraid it will encounter Waterloo.

This was something that Qin Feng suddenly realized.

Because, if you don't have the copyright of the five major record companies, you can't download genuine music. At that time, if the user uses pirated copies, then as a hardware company, it will be difficult to escape the blame.

This is not like Sony's Walkman, which uses a CD. And CDs are made of genuine materials. This also does not require any record label licensing. Once you buy your Walkman, you can go to the record label and buy the original CD on your own.

As for whether the user buys a pirated CD or a genuine CD, that is the user's own behavior. It has nothing to do with Sony.

If your record company finds pirated CDs that users use, you can't blame Sony.

But if Apple launches the iPod now without licensing it from the Big Five, it means that consumers will have to download pirated MP3s. This also means that you, Apple, are conniving at consumers to download pirated MP3s.

At that point, the lawsuit will have to be fought.

This is not a big deal in Huaxia. Won't get into any trouble. But in the West, it's a real big problem.

Jobs must have realized this, so he let himself deal with this trouble.

As for why Apple hasn't had such trouble in "history"?

That's because the iPod was launched three years later. In three years, the Internet has long been unrecognizable. Nowadays, many people are not aware of the innovation of the Internet. Not even Microsoft is aware of it.

Three years later, it's different. Everyone knows that the 21st century is the age of the Internet.

Such are the limitations of the times.

And Apple, because of his arrival, gave Jobs absolute control over Apple in advance, and also let some of its innovative thinking begin to shine.

The iPod came out three years ahead of schedule, and this is a big problem.

If it's an iPhone, even if it's 10 years in advance, it's fine.

It's a pity that the iPod is not an iPhone.

No wonder Lisa felt like she had suffered a big loss. It seems that she is also aware of this. That's why I went to Apple to negotiate with Jobs.

At the moment, at Apple.

Lisa came online on Lisa's behalf and started a negotiation with Jobs.

"This time, we had to negotiate digital music rights with the big five record companies, which was extremely difficult. And if we can't talk about it, then your iPod, even if it is produced, is just a pile of waste products and cannot be sold at all. Therefore, the 7% split is extremely unreasonable. You're squeezing. Lisa was merciless, "So, we're asking for a more reasonable profit share." ”

Jobs stared at Lisa, and he had a cannibalistic heart.

This is her own daughter, but as a result, now for the sake of a man, to fight against herself and her father, it is simply a big rebellion.

"How much do you want?" Jobs snorted.

"70%!" Lisa said.

"Who do you think you are!" Jobston snarled as he slammed the table.

Dare to ask for 70%.

"It's not much. Without us talking about this copyright, your iPod is waste. What you've built at so much cost of so many dollars is waste. Lisa said unceremoniously, "As long as you don't have the license of the big five record companies, then you can't sell." This will be extremely precarious for your current position. Don't forget, the company's directors asked you to come back to lead Apple out of trouble. But your first innovative product failed, what do you think those shareholders will think?"

Bastard! Jobs scolded.

This negotiation is simply impossible to negotiate.

Lisa used the information she had obtained at Apple to negotiate with him now to get a better deal for Qin Feng, which was simply shameless.

"You're my daughter and a director of Apple!" Jobs growled.

This roar made the entire Apple company tremble.

At Apple, when Jobs started ranting, the whole company went silent. There was no other sound than him.

He is such a tyrant. A tyrant to be feared, but loved.

It sounds conflicting, but it's not at all.

Tyrants, of course, are disgusting, even annoying. But if the tyrant can do you good, then you won't hate the tyrant.

People are very realistic, as long as they can bring benefits to themselves, then it will work. The rest, you can bear it.

At this point, there was Huo Qu's disease in ancient China. The young general is very inconsiderate to the soldiers, but as long as he fights, the soldiers are willing to follow General Huo Quai.

Why? To be able to succeed in a career, to be able to win battles, to be able to save your life, to be able to get enough rewards. Then he is not considerate of the soldiers, so he will not say anything wrong.

The same goes for Steve Jobs.

Apple's brilliance comes from Steve Jobs. Without Jobs, Apple declined and almost went bankrupt. In this case, please bring it back. Everybody resources are willing to hand over everything he has.

"But I'm representing Lisa Online now. Lisa's face was calm.

In the face of her father, Lisa has always been afraid in the past. As soon as Jobs had an unhappy look on his face, Lisa would be stunned and ask herself if she had done something wrong.

But now, it's different. She and Jobs were on an equal footing, and the two sides sat at the negotiating table, negotiating with equal status.

It made her feel good.

"So, Steve, don't think that because you're my father, you can take advantage of my company. The distribution of profits this time must not be based on the previous distribution. Lisa's face was calm.

The ensuing negotiations were full of roars.

At this moment, Qin Feng also said goodbye after signing a contract with Michael Jackson.

Now only a preliminary intention of cooperation has been reached. It could not meet Qin Feng's needs.

Therefore, Qin Feng is still thinking, who should he sign?

What other newcomer is coming up?

Justin Bieber: Qin Feng thought about it and forgot it.

This one is only 4 years old this year. That's not possible.

Who should be signed, and which one might pop up in the future?

Avril?Qin Feng calculated, it's still early. I'm only 14 years old this year, and this is too early.

Her musical style and other aspects are not mature. I can't go to her by myself.

Beyoncé?

It doesn't seem to work either. She has signed to Sony Records, and she has already made her debut. Although, it is not the later Beyoncé. But you can't poach yourself.

You can't rely on one Britney Spears alone!
