Old fox! Qin Feng scolded for a while.

originally thought that he had taken advantage, but who would have thought that he would have to be responsible for negotiating with major record companies.

In this regard, it is not so easy.

Although, in the long run, there are advantages and disadvantages to opening up music digital downloads.

However, it was only 1998. God knows what which record labels will think.

You know, companies in the industry, such as Microsoft, have missed out on the entire web era.

By the time Microsoft came to its senses, it had missed out on the development of the online world. In the end, with his wealth, he barely got on the cloud computing shuttle. Of course, Microsoft has also become a company with a market value of more than a trillion dollars with cloud computing.

Even Microsoft will miss out, not to mention the traditional record labels now.

Qin Feng remembered that it took a lot of effort for Jobs to negotiate with major record companies.

Now, this trouble is thrown to myself.

That's 7%, it's really hard to get.

But it can't be helped, who let this 7% profit share is really a bit exciting.

Therefore, Qin Feng went to find those record companies.

Lisa continues to refine the interface design at the company.

Although Qin Feng seems that the interface is already very simple and beautiful, Jobs still asked him to come up with a few more options to choose from. Moreover, it cannot be worse than the current scheme, it must be better.

This is the fastidious Jobs.

Working with them, at times, is really painful. Of course, it is also because of his artistic cleanliness that he will give birth to products that change the world.

It has to be said that sometimes, people are different.

At present, there are not many mainstream record companies in the world.

In this regard, there are five major record companies in the world.

Warner, Universal, BMG, EMI, as well as Sony.

As for the familiar Rolling Stone, it is nothing more than a local record label on Treasure Island. Compared to the world's top five record labels, the gap is huge. It can only be said that the local record company has made it well-known to the public.

But in fact, the vast majority of well-known singers are basically signed with the five major record companies.

Qin Feng's goal is to win the online sales rights of the five major record companies.

In this regard, Qin Feng's first target is naturally his old acquaintance Warner.

After all, Qin Feng purchased the wired cable technology from Warner, which allowed Huaxia to leap into the era of high-speed Internet.

In addition, Qin Feng sold the copyright of "Harry Potter" to Warner.

It can be said that the two sides have the basis for many cooperation.

Originally, Qin Feng thought that this was a matter of course.

Digital music copyright, this is the big trend of the future. There is also a basis for cooperation between the two sides, which should go smoothly.

Who would have expected that the negotiations between Qin Feng and Warner would not go smoothly at all.

Warner Records has no interest in Qin Feng's proposal at all.

"Mr. Qin, the Internet era is coming. But we think people will still choose to go to the record store to try it out, because it's more atmospheric and can be shared with more music lovers. As for the MP3 format you mentioned, the effect is not comparable to that of a CD, and it does not provide the crowd with that kind of immersive feeling. Moreover, this could lead to piracy. Warner Records president said.

Qin Feng frowned.

This, sure enough, is an old antique.

There is no prospect of the record market at all.

In the future, many singers will no longer pay much attention to the offline market. Many singers will sell directly online. That eliminates the need for middlemen, and neither the singer nor the record company will make less money than before.

It may even increase its revenue because it is aimed at a wider audience.

However, it is indeed the season of prosperity in the offline record market.

This gave Qin Feng a headache.

The other party is not interested at all, what should I do?

"However, wouldn't it be better to have one more channel?" Qin Feng asked rhetorically.

"That's likely to affect offline sales. And, if you ask consumers to go to a record store, they may buy many records instead of buying a single song online. The president of Warner Records vetoed Qin Feng's proposal.

The same was true for the subsequent companies.

For Qin Feng's proposal for online sales, he is not very optimistic.

Qin Feng was helpless.

Maybe it's too early.

In fact, Jobs launched the iPod at the end of 2001.

It's the second half of 1998. Although there is only a three-year difference between the two, in the Internet market, three years can already be said to be an era.

Especially in the next few years, every year, the development of the Internet is changing with each passing day.

Three years can indeed change many people's perceptions.

And now, how to convince them?

There is only one company left, and that is Sony.

However, Qin Feng didn't think much about going.

Because, this is going, and maybe something will happen.

You know, Sony's side is currently a giant in the walkman market. Go and talk to them about this cooperation by yourself, Qin Feng is worried, and he will remind Sony if he doesn't do it.

If that's the case, it's troublesome.

After all, Sony has its own resources. It couldn't be easier to get one out.

On his side, he has no resources at all.

What should I do?Qin Feng hesitated.

Is this going or not?

After thinking about it, Qin Feng decided to visit Sony Records.

Anyway, try it too.

As for Sony, if it also launches an online store, that's fine. Perhaps it can turn the current backward notion around.

It would be great if it could be so.

When the time comes, everyone will compete again.

With the iPod, Qin Feng believes that he can defeat Sony.

After all, Sony's Walkman, although awesome, is inferior in all aspects compared to the iPod.

Qin Feng stepped into the headquarters of Sony Records.

After a little waiting, Qin Feng met with Howard Stringer, president of Sony Records.

Regarding Qin Feng's arrival, Howard Stringer was not very cold.

However, because this time, Qin Feng's car sales are extremely amazing, as the owner of a local car brand in China, he defeated many international brands during the November Golden Week, which makes Qin Feng very famous in Japan.

After all, before this, Huaxia Automobile was half-dead. It is even said that it has basically been buried in the ground.

However, Qin Feng relied on his personal strength to revive him. Although the performance in all aspects is not very good, the quality control is good, coupled with the entry-level price and fashionable appearance, so that many Japanese car companies regard Qin Feng as the biggest competitor in China in the future.

Howard Stringer also heard some rumors about Qin Feng from some Japanese mouths. At this time, Qin Feng's visit made him extremely curious.

"Mr. Qin, how do you feel when you hear that your Daqin Automobile has the largest sales volume at this Huaxia International Auto Show, beating cars from Japan and other countries?" asked Howard Stringer curiously.

Qin Feng looked depressed. I'm here to talk about records, not cars.
