Chapter 114: Breaking the Game!

Li Zetian thought about it for most of the night, and finally thought of a way, so he lowered his eyelids and fell asleep contentedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, the sun was shining and the weather was excellent.

Li Zetian drove Leslayce on a dangerous road, and the wind in his ears was whistling.

When he came to Apple, Li Zetian asked everyone to come to the office for a meeting.

When everyone arrived, he opened his mouth and said: "I think everyone knows Apple's current situation, so I won't say more, what ideas do you have to say, work together, and solve this problem together!"

After Li Zetian finished speaking, the office fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Tian Shuai said: "Mr. Li, should we spend a lot of money to win over a large record company, for example, for every music tape sold, and give it an additional subsidy? As long as it is profitable, maybe it will be biased in our favor...... As long as one of the major record labels is biased towards me, the 'Anti-Walkman League' will be in a mess!"

Zhang Yan said indignantly: "I don't agree, isn't this asking us to post money to the record company? It's really too aggrieved!"

Li Zetian smiled and asked, "Zhang Yan, what do you think?"

"I don't think we need music licensing, we just don't need music licensing, and we can directly produce music tapes from these record companies, and users will naturally not make trouble when they buy music tapes. The record company was unhappy, so it was a big deal to sue us, and we put the lawsuit back as far as possible. By then, the Walkman has already occupied the market, swept the world, and earned a lot of money for Apple! Even if we lose the lawsuit in the end, we can afford to lose money!"

it, so domineering!!

Li Zetian couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan with admiration.

In fact, many large companies are doing this, knowing that the patent is someone else's, but they just use it, and then they fight a lawsuit with the other party, and the lawsuit drags on for a year and a half, and then occupies the market during this time, even if they lose the lawsuit in the end, it is not a big deal to lose some money.

This world is the world of the jungle, and the shopping mall is like a battlefield, which is very cruel.

When Jobs heard this, he frowned, "This is not a good idea, and it will seriously damage the image of Apple!"

Zhang Yan was immediately upset when he heard that Jobs was against him, he was originally a little dissatisfied with the arrogant and invincible Jobs, and now it is even worse.

"My way is not good?? Okay, I'd like to hear what you can do?" he said in a very targeted tone.

Jobs said: "First of all, we have fallen into a misunderstanding, why should we produce music tapes ourselves?" He paused, looked at Li Zetian and said, "We can secretly support other factories to produce pirated music tapes, so that won't solve the problem of our current Walkman missing songs? And the record company can't settle accounts with us Apple!"

When Zhang Yan heard this, he couldn't think of an excuse to refute it, and Jobs's idea was better than him. "This Jobs is really a bit of a level, no wonder he was entrusted with a heavy task by Mr. Li...... Zhang Yan said in his heart.

Li Zetian smiled at this time and said: "Everyone's ideas are good, and they can all help Apple get out of trouble! However, Jobs's method is more satisfactory to me." But," Li Zetian glanced at everyone and said, "If anyone doesn't know, unless they don't do it! If the record company finds out that Apple secretly supports other factories in the production of pirated music tapes, it will also bring Apple into disrepute!

Zhang Yan couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, don't you sell Guanzi anymore!" Looking at your expression, I know that you have already thought of a way, and you are confident, right?!"

"Hehe," Li Zetian smiled lightly, nodded and said, "I did think of a way, and it was closer to Jobs's idea!"

"Hurry up, we'll hear you!"

Li Zetian nodded and said: "Marx once said, 'If there is 100% profit, the capitalists will take risks, if there is 200% profit, the capitalists will defy the law, and if there is 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample on everything in the world!' In fact, there is no need for us to secretly support those pirate factories to produce music tapes, they will also produce their own music tapes, and what we need to do now is actually very simple, is to let them see and discover this huge demand, so as to speed up the production of pirated tapes! I think there should be a lot of 'smart' businessmen in this world......"

When Li Zetian said the word "shrewd", he deliberately raised it by a few decibels.

Everyone nodded frequently, feeling that what Li Zetian said made sense.

"Mr. Li, what should we do?" asked Zhang.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Let someone post a message at the door of Apple's flagship store, which reads:

Recently, Apple received a letter from an anonymous user reporting that pirated tapes from well-known singers such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Aretha-Franklin were available in some video stores, and they cost $20, which is $10 more expensive than genuine tapes. Here, Apple issued a statement to seriously condemn this illegal act, calling on everyone not to waste money to buy pirated music tapes, Apple is in contact with the record company, maybe in half a year to reach an agreement with the record company......"

When Zhang Yan heard this, he almost burst into laughter, "Hehe, Mr. Li, the word 'half a year' is used well, how can Walkman users afford to wait so long? When they see this news, they will definitely go to the video store and ask the boss if there is any pirated music tape." At that time, the owner of the video store will be very surprised, and with so many people asking, he will definitely immediately realize that this is an opportunity to make a fortune! No one will let money slip out of his eyes, absolutely not!"

Li Zetian nodded and smiled, "Yes, I think it won't be long before there will be pirated tapes in these video stores!"

Tian Shuai couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Li's method is really wonderful, we don't produce pirated tapes, we don't support pirated factories, and the record companies have nothing to do with us! When a large number of pirated tapes appear on the market, these record companies should have a headache!"

Zhang Yan laughed, "I really want to see their expressions when they have a headache, it must be very exciting!"

Li Zetian said: "Okay, everyone, this is the end of the meeting, and we will do what I just said immediately!"

"Yes!!"

In the morning, a notice was posted on the glass doors and windows of Apple's flagship store, which immediately attracted countless people's viewing.

After that, the news spread little by little, and more and more Walkman users knew that there were pirated music tapes in the video store, and they said that it was a little more expensive, but they could listen to their favorite songs. So they went to the nearby video store to buy it.

"Boss, do you have a tape?"

"What is it?" asked the owner of the video store.

"It's a music cassette that plays in your Walkman--I want a pirated !!"

The owner of the video store was confused.

At this time, several more people walked in at the door, opened their mouths and said, "Boss, I want pirated music tapes, do you have Elvis Presley here?"

Without waiting for the owner of the video store to speak, four or five more people walked in at the door.

"Boss, are there any pirated tapes, I want the Beatles song!"

“……”

The owner of the video store was in great pain, seeing so many people coming to buy pirated tapes, but unfortunately he didn't have them in his store. However, the owner of the video store was also a "shrewd" businessman, and he smiled and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, the pirated tapes were all sold out before you came, or if you come back in a while, I'll buy them right away?"

", it's sold out? Boss, do you think you can order in advance?"

The owner of the video store hesitated slightly, but immediately said, "No problem, you can book in advance!"

As a result, customers in the store placed orders in advance at the video store.

Looking at so many orders, the owner of the video store suddenly couldn't stop laughing!

At the end of the day, there were more than 2,000 orders for pirated tapes.

"Hey, Jack? I heard you say that your factory used to make cassette tapes, the kind of tapes that put songs in!"

"Well, yes, there is," Jack nodded, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, Jack, you're going to make a fortune!!"

"Abigail, please don't be kidding, I'm going bankrupt now!"

"Jack, I'm not kidding! You know, today I received orders for more than 2,000 pirated music tapes in my store, each for $20 each, for a total of $20,000! Oh God, it's only been a day! Since someone else can produce pirated music tapes, Jack, you can too!" said the video store owner, who said demagoguously, he wouldn't be able to buy them if he didn't confuse them.

When Jack heard this, he was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Abigail, what's going on?"

So, Abigail said the notice outside Apple's flagship store.

"Jack, there are more than 1 million users of your Walkman, and I believe that as there are more pirated music tapes, there will be more and more users of your Walkman, and they will buy more tapes. Oh, Jack, you're going to make a fortune, if you can take advantage of this opportunity......"

At this moment, Jack was already so excited that he didn't need Abigail to continue to persuade him, he decided to do something big.

"Abigail, thank you so much for providing me with such valuable news. I decided and immediately set about producing pirated music tapes!!"

"Jack, then complete my order first!"

"No problem, Abigail, you will be my most loyal partner from now on, and I will be the first to fulfill your order. ”

"Then I'll fax you the order information now?"

"Okay!"
