Chapter 1780: Fool
Ten years from now, what if these labels don't want to continue working together?
"Do we have a loss?" Qin Feng shrugged, "It's nothing more than a service fee of 5 million yuan per year, as well as some advertising fees. ”
"Isn't that much?" Lisa was surprised, "and besides, we're using their database, just a link." After a long time, maybe they will be willing to do it themselves. That's when we were kicked out. ”
All resources are in the hands of the other side. On my side, it's just an intermediate platform.
There are no intellectual property rights and no technical barriers.
"So, we've all earned it for nothing now, so it's okay to lose it. Qin Feng grinned.
"But the idea is yours. Lisa was a little worthless for Qin Feng, "Without you, they don't know that this can still make money." In particular, this Nokia gave each of them more than $20 million in a quarter. Without you, where would they make this money. ”
That's true. But I didn't get out of anything. I just went and talked to Nokia, and then I went to the big five record stores and got their licenses. That's all I did. Qin Feng shrugged, "They all have their own platforms, and they are the ones who have empty gloves and white wolves." ”
Lisa knew that what Qin Feng said was right, but it was not worth it for Qin Feng.
Don't look at the five major record companies to admit their cowardice this time, and take the initiative to come over to Qin Feng to sign a contract. But in this contract, she also saw something strange.
Although the contract is for 10 years, any contract will have a breach of contract clause. And this liquidated damages is three times the income of the year.
This triple is too punitive for the big five record companies.
Not binding at all.
It's only $15 million. They make more money from Nokia's ringtone downloading business every quarter.
"But why did they break the contract?" Qin Feng said with a smile, "Lisa, we just earned them $5 million." And in between, almost $1 million is used to pay for related labor costs, as well as server maintenance costs. We're not even making 4 million dollars from them. They wouldn't choose to have an easy quarrel with me for $4 million. ”
Lisa wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything in the end. Now that the contract has been signed, let's leave it at that.
Soon, Lisa took the contract and went to Apple to find Jobs.
"Got it, good!" Jobs nodded.
"Isn't that good? I think the other party could tear up the contract at any time. Lisa pouted, "I told him, but he wasn't worried. ”
Lisa said this to Jobs in the hope that her father would remind Qin Feng. I said it myself, but Qin Feng didn't listen. But Jobs said that Qin Feng should be able to listen.
"Are you a pig, why are you so stupid!" Jobs was furious, "why are you my daughter, you are a fool! I have never seen anyone as stupid as you." How could Qin Feng fall in love with a stupid woman like you. ”
Lisa was directly stunned by Jobs's fierce and vicious scolding.
What's wrong with her?
"You still don't understand where you're stupid?" Jobs knew that Lisa definitely didn't understand anything as soon as he saw Lisa's blank face.
"I'm straight at once. If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have explained. Jobs said coldly, "It's true that you didn't make any money on this contract." Moreover, the big five record companies are still in control, and they can tear up contracts at any time. But why did they tear up the contract? Just for the $5 million, and then spend their own energy to build a platform like this? Are they crazy?"
"Then why did they sign 3 times the liquidated damages. That's too little. This suggests that they should just want to break the contract. Lisa was puzzled.
"You idiot, but luckily you studied art, and if you were to go into business, you would lose all your start-up money in one day. Jobs scolded.
The one who scolded was vicious, as if the person in front of him was not his daughter.
However, Lisa is a little used to the Jobs in front of her. That's how I was scolded since I was a child.
As long as Jobs is upset, or says that he has done something wrong that makes him feel stupid, then he will scold at every turn, without the slightest concern for the feelings of others.
Lisa is used to this.
"Forget it, seeing how stupid you are, it's superfluous to explain to you. You just need to know that Qin Feng's contract is very beneficial to the five major record companies. But because of this, Qin Feng can really cooperate with the other party for a long time. And as long as there is cooperation between the two sides, Qin Feng can make money. If you still don't understand, think about where you need to spend money, and how much you can earn!" Jobs said, not saying more.
"You can go back and tell Qin Feng. As for the iPod, it will be available this year. Jobs said confidently.
Originally, it would be another two years before it could be launched. However, the appearance of Qin Feng injected funds into Apple in advance, allowing Jobs to obtain absolute support and sufficient funds in advance.
In this way, many of Jobs' great ideals can also be realized in advance.
Although, in terms of hardware, it is indeed a hard flaw.
But in terms of hardware, in fact, the development of the past two years has also broken Moore's Law.
This is also because of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's Loongson, Huaxia chips, and their appearance have given Intel a strong competitor.
In particular, Qin Feng's design concept of launching GPUs on graphics cards made Intel feel the crisis. Let Intel take out the artifact of Tualatin in advance.
Although, in terms of performance, it comprehensively beats Qin Feng's Loongson. Including AMD, it was a fire at the city gate, which affected the pond fish.
However, Qin Feng came up with a strategy of joint operation of CPU and graphics card, so that in terms of overall performance, although it is still inferior to Intel, the cost performance is far better than Intel.
This has also led to the rapid development of today's IT technology, far exceeding the original normal speed.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that manufacturers such as Intel have long had more advanced technology products. However, in order to make more profits and completely squeeze the full value of a generation of products, the progress of science and technology is deliberately suppressed.
All of this, because of Qin Feng, giants like Intel were forced to suspend their strategy of squeezing toothpaste.
Therefore, all the hardware technology needed for the iPod is actually mature now. For Jobs, there was no problem at all in building it within the year.
If it weren't for Qin Feng's disruption and letting Intel and many hardware manufacturers update their technology in advance, the iPod would really not be available in two or three years.
