At this time, Feng Yiping didn't know his father's thoughts, if he knew that his parents were relieved of himself and worried about his sister, he would probably be a little embarrassed, because he and Huang Jingping had secretly prepared a big surprise for them, or it could also be said to be a big fright.

But it can't be helped, who said that we have always had a good impression on everyone!

On the 24th, the 74th World Academy Awards ceremony came to an end at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, which should be a very special Oscar, the best actor and actress are all black, the actor is Denzel Washington, and the actress is the black pearl Halle Berry.

The animated film "Monsters, Inc.", produced by Pixar, which Jobs invested, won the award for Best Film Song.

This seems to be quite appropriate, and I don't know what Jobs has made in Hollywood, not long after he returned to Cupertino from Los Angeles, several major record companies formed a huge team and were about to come to Apple to negotiate.

"They're scared, and they can't do anything about it, so they can only come to me,"

Through the phone, Feng Yiping could hear Jobs's pride.

These record companies are really scared.

It's not that these art businesses don't know how to embrace the times, they are also actively following the trend and launching their own online music business, but they all provide subscription services, and after the subscription expires, they can't continue to use it.

As you can imagine, they don't offer download services, and in order to put an end to this, a lot of restrictions have been made on the website, and the interface is naturally not user-friendly.

In short, those who play art and play high-tech are indeed worse, and their online music services are very bad, to use an inappropriate analogy. Like many of our government websites, they were built purely for the sake of building.

But when the Apple iPod appeared elegantly in front of everyone and quickly became a trend, like other 3 players, it allows you to do without a computer. There is no internet connection, so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere.

What's more, this hot-selling player, it can store thousands of songs.

Thousands of songs, that is, the sum of the songs contained in hundreds of music albums, it's okay to buy one or two occasionally, hundreds of music albums. Even the wealthy American people, who can afford this money and are willing to pay this money, are also very few, and they will definitely choose to download it online for free, so that they will not buy an album in the future, for the music industry. This is a bigger threat than those music-sharing sites.

Because if this continues, it will lead to the emergence of more free music-sharing sites.

"You are an advocate of this idea. So Feng, can you come to this meeting?" asked Jobs.

"Okay Steve, I'll come to the office tomorrow and discuss the details with you. ”

…………

On this day, before the head office of Apple. There's a lot of stretch cars coming, and the entertainment industry is always about pomp and circumstance -- it seems that the car rental agencies in San Francisco should be doing good business today.

The executives and representatives of the five major record companies looked at the rejuvenated old technology company in front of them, and looked a little calm. Some, it is difficult to hide the resentment in their hearts, it is clear that Apple has violated their rights and interests, but they still have to take the initiative to come to the door, which is really not a pleasant thing.

They looked at Apple's logo, looked at Apple's office building, and looked at the proud Apple employees, and they couldn't help but look disgusted.

"Gentlemen," Warner's Paul Vidic clapped his hands, "let's find a way out,"

In the conference room provided by Apple, after the delegation discussed the main topics of the meeting again, two glasses of water were drunk, and more than ten minutes had passed since the agreed time, but the host Jobs was still nowhere to be seen.

A female member of the delegation, sitting at the door, asked the Apple staff member who was in charge of reception outside the door, "What about Mr. Jobs?"

After Jobs' return, Apple's pride was from top to bottom, and the staff replied casually and stylically, "I'm sorry, he has very important business at the moment,"

These people here are not celebrities, but they are the bosses of celebrities, under normal circumstances, who can stand such anger? But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, today, they can only bear it, but the sound of breathing is inevitably a little rougher.

On the way to the conference room, he took Feng Yiping into the project team of the next generation i, and discussed with the designers with great interest, "Is the proportion of widescreen monitors decided?

An engineer came up with two models and said, "According to the golden ratio, we have set two specifications, 16:9 and 16:10,"

Jobs took it and compared it in front of him, "It feels good, but which specification to set in the end has to be considered in many aspects, and what about the cost?"

A man with glasses said happily, "Feng's idea is very good! We contacted the manufacturer, and according to their reaction, because it is closest to the golden ratio, when the production is divided, the utilization rate is higher than that of the previous square screen, and the waste of leftovers is the least, so the cost is reduced."

Jobs propped himself up on the table and smiled like a child, "Feng, well done!"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping said, "I believe there must be a lot of computer users who are also aware of this problem, but they don't have a chance to talk to you."

"Hehe, Dongfang's modesty," Jobs pointed to Feng Yiping and said, "Feng is right, when we design products in the future, we will listen more to the opinions of users,"

"What about the material, what better alternative?"

He seemed to have completely forgotten that it was time for the meeting, and the people who followed him did not remind him, but he obviously did not forget, and after discussing for a while, he looked at the time, "Let's go, go and meet those people,"

Feng Yiping followed behind him, watched him stride into the conference room, did not explain the reason for being late, did not shake hands or say welcome, only nodded to the executives sitting at the table, and sat directly at the end of the conference table, "I'm here, what do you have to say?"

Feng Yiping felt that Jobs treated this group of people who came to the door as if he had not treated the mediocre talents in the company that he looked down on.

You must know that these people sitting in the front row are all representatives of the five major record companies, such as Warner, Sony, and B, and the company's strength and popularity are also quite good.

Oh, in other words, his first pot of gold was dug from several subordinate companies here, Feng Yiping wanted to hold the hands of several of them and say, "Look up for a long time!"

The few people in front are okay, how to say it, they can be regarded as self-contained, but Jobs's sentence is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and some people sitting in the back row can't help but denounce it, to the effect that "As a high-tech company that pays attention to intellectual property rights, why should it encourage consumers to pirate musicians' works?"

Jobs put his left hand behind the swivel chair, held a pen in his right hand and tapped it on the table, listened for a while, threw the pen away, and said impatiently, "Stop, I'm not here to listen to your complaints, what should we do, we understand very well, you don't need to say, what about you? Do you know what to do, how to do it? I said, have you ever used your brains over the years?"

Feng Yiping is considered to have gained a long experience, and the cattle man really lives up to his reputation, it is a real cow! )
