Qin Feng was very depressed.

This Howard Stringer has been talking to himself about his Daqin car. And Qin Feng wanted to return the topic to the record several times, but he was always diverted by it.

This made Qin Feng very depressed.

In the end, after Qin Feng sat for thirty minutes, he really couldn't help it.

"President Stringer, I'm here to talk to you about the rights to sell digital music online. And not what car to talk to you about. Sony, on the other hand, does not produce cars. Qin Feng had to interrupt Howard Stringer's discussion about his Daqin car very seriously.

"I know that you want to talk about this online digital music copyright. Before coming to Sony, you went to Warner, BMG, EMI, and Universal. And they all rejected you. "So why would we agree? In particular, we can build our own online sales system." ”

Qin Feng was speechless. That's what worries me.

Sony, on its own, has its own Walkman, and it can launch such a system itself, so why cooperate with itself. Make yourself money?

"Excuse me!" Qin Feng got up.

Howard Stringer smiled and asked the secretary to send Qin Feng away.

For Qin Feng, he is only interested in Qin Feng's car, as for this online digital music copyright, Sony can do it himself.

There is no need to cooperate with Qin Feng at all.

Because of this, if he didn't talk to Qin Feng about cars, what else could he talk about?

didn't close the door and disappeared, it was already considered to be giving Qin Feng face.

After Qin Feng left, an old man in his sixties walked over.

"That person was Qin Feng just now?" the old man asked.

Howard Stringer hurriedly got up, looking respectful.

"Yes, Mr. Dahe, it's Qin Feng who just came. Howard Stringer said respectfully, "He's coming to us to talk about digital rights online." But I refused. We can do it ourselves. ”

The old man is none other than Norio Oga, known as the father of CD and the president of Sony America.

Howard Stringer is the president of Sony Records. And Norio Oga is the president of Sony America.

Responsible for all affairs of Sony in the United States.

Of course, it's also a Sony legend.

Norio Oga is known as a designer at Sony. Thanks to the leadership of Norio Ohga, Sony has grown from a local company based in Japan to a world-class company.

"Did you do that?" asked Norio Ohga.

Howard Stringer shook his head.

"Although the MP3 format is currently popular, it has become popular on computers. But that's mostly piracy. If we do it ourselves, it is easy to make piracy popular. What's more, this kind of selling a song alone is detrimental to the interests of singers and record companies, including those record stores. So, we didn't do it. Not only did we not do it, but the other four major record companies refused. Howard Stringer said.

Norio Ohga nodded slowly.

However, he felt that this matter should perhaps be more radical.

After all, times are evolving. The Internet era has entered people's lives.

Nowadays, more and more people are spending more time on the internet.

Perhaps, online digital music, there is a future.

However, thinking of the interests involved in this aspect, Norio Ohga didn't say anything more.

After all, as the president of a company, there are many interests to consider.

The sale of digital music online may bring in some additional revenue. However, if it infringes on the existing interest groups, it may cause serious trouble. Therefore, caution must be exercised in this matter.

At this moment, Qin Feng was very helpless to go back.

"What's wrong, isn't it going well?" Lisa saw Qin Feng's dejected expression and poured Qin Feng a cup of coffee.

"It was rejected by the big five record companies. Qin Feng said helplessly, "They don't have this plan at all." ”

"I guessed it too. Lisa shrugged and gave Qin Feng a hug, "After all, it's impossible for them to give up their vested interests." And digital music will infringe on their current interests. As for the future of digital music, who can see for sure!"

"But if you don't have digital music rights, it's going to be a hassle to develop the iPod. Qin Feng frowned and said.

"It's fine. I've searched for it in the past few days, and almost all of the songs are in MP3 format, which can be downloaded casually on the Internet. When the time comes, we'll sell the hardware. Users download MP3s on their own, and that's their business. Lisa said, "These record companies are so blind that they will regret it." ”

"I'm afraid there will be legal implications. Qin Feng frowned.

"No, it won't. I consulted. As long as our company does not give any users guidance or implicit advice in this regard, then the user's behavior is their own behavior and has nothing to do with the company. It's useless for the record company to sue us. Lisa said, "We just sell software." ”

Qin Feng pouted. In this way, it is not impossible. But then it was reduced to a pure hardware company.

That's not what Qin Feng wanted, and it wasn't what Jobs wanted.

"By the way, aren't you a piano master, and you can write music. You can write a few songs, then sign up some artists, make them popular, and let them sell online. That might be a catalyst for change for these record labels. Lisa said.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

That's a solution.

The big five record companies look down on this little profit, and they don't look down on their own ideas. But you can do it yourself. When the time comes, there will be times when they regret it.

In particular, I can compose music. I can't afford to waste my talents in this area.

Thinking about it like this, Qin Feng felt that there seemed to be a way.

"However, it would be up to Steve Jobs to get the iPod out in advance. Qin Feng said.

"It's coming. "I've heard that there's already a model coming out of the lab. More artistic processing is underway. Make it more artistic and practical. Maybe it's coming out soon. Otherwise, my dad wouldn't have asked us to design this. ”

"Then I'm going to pick up the pace. Qin Feng regained his confidence at this moment, "At that time, I want to see if these record companies will regret it." ”

"Hee-hee, they will definitely regret rejecting the advice of a piano master. Lisa said with a grin.

Didn't these record companies notice Qin Feng's identity?

Naturally, I noticed. However, this is still not the reason why they will change their existing interest model.

Later generations have changed, and that is because of the general trend. In the 21st century, everything is different. This forced the big five record companies to change and adapt to the situation. And now, it's still early.

Three years is not a long time, but it is three years of rapid change.

Now, they're not going to change.

However, Qin Feng will make them change.
