Chapter 322: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

"Europe!" Lin Feng's eyes were like goshawks, staring at Jobs tightly, and he spit out two words that made Jobs frightened.

Many reporters naturally saw that Lin Feng was declaring war on Jobs. While disdainful of Lin Feng in his heart, he also recorded it and thought about tomorrow's title in his mind. It's exciting to think about the two companies going from the U.S. market to the European market. There's so much for them to wave.

Damn it, how could he go to Europe!--Jobs said angrily. "Apple" does not have much "iPod" inventory right now, and most of the "iPods" are sold in the United States, and according to Jobs, Jihua, "iPod" will enter the European market before Christmas in December to seize the Christmas market. But now Lin Feng has landed in Europe ahead of schedule, which makes Jobs's Jihua have to go ahead of time, but "Apple" has no extra inventory.

Damn!--Jobs scolded. This time, Lin Feng just pinched the lifeblood of "Apple". Lin Feng didn't know that there was not much inventory of "iPod", but the U.S. market had failed, and Lin Feng didn't think of any good strategies in the short term, and Lin Feng could only seize the third-party market. The European market is naturally forest winnowing. "Stephen, we'll see you in Europe!" Lin Feng turned around and left.

Jobs had a gloomy face. Although many reporters were slightly dissatisfied with Lin Feng's arrogance, the main protagonist Jobs didn't say much, as reporters, they naturally didn't know how to take mice, but the pen recorded all this, and tomorrow's newspaper will have a headline.

"The Loser Lin Feng Challenges the "Apple" Again - See You in Europe!".

After Lin Feng left, many reporters at the scene naturally gathered around and asked Jobs whether he would fight for the "iPod" and whether he would enter the European market, and compete with Lin Feng's "phantom" in the European market.

Many reporters' enthusiasm for Lin Feng and Jobs' grievances made the press conference that should have been the second generation of "iPod" become a press conference where Lin Feng declared war on "Apple" again, and no reporter cared about the second generation of "iPod" products at all, and Britney, who was supposed to be the protagonist, was ignored. This made her extremely angry, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.

"Stephen, I'm going to Europe to promote my new album when it's about to sell, and I'm going to help you promote the 'iPod' when it's time to get the word out. Britney suddenly stepped off the stage and said indignantly.

The crowd was amazed and then ecstatic. Britney's words are undoubtedly the bigger news that she will fight. Especially looking at the angry look on Branney's face when he spoke, he was obviously angry with Lin Feng. But Britney and Lin Feng should also be meeting for the first time, why is she so angry with Lin Feng, this is another news hotspot that can be explored. However, although Britney's battle made many reporters excited, there is another prerequisite for this "war" to start - Jobs must accept Lin Feng's declaration of war. If the "iPod" does not enter the European market, there will undoubtedly be no news points. Without Jobs's battle, it is undoubtedly ridiculous to just hype the grievances between Britney and Lin Feng, and the people will not be too interested in it, they can't hype it up if they want to.

Many reporters couldn't help but look at Jobs in unison. Britney's declaration was unexpected by Jobs, and although I don't know why Britney is so strong for Apple, it is a good thing for Jobs. If Lin Feng wants to seize the European market, the "iPod" has to fight, otherwise the European market will definitely be snatched up by Lin Feng's "phantom".

The reason why the "iPod" in the US market defeated the "Phantom" and finally did not sell a single one, in addition to Jobs's propaganda methods, there is another point that is extremely crucial -- preconceived ideas.

Two MP3 players with almost the same appearance, "iPod", have local advantages, and naturally "Phantom" has entered the domestic market in the United States as early as possible, and when "Phantom" comes in again, American consumers have accepted "iPod", and "Phantom" naturally has no market.

Now the European market is the same, whoever goes first has the advantage.

Jobs now has to deal with the battle, although the inventory is not much, but as long as the strategy is adjusted appropriately. For the time being, compete with Lin Feng in the European market, the American market can be put aside for a while, and this time Britney Sweet went to Europe to help publicize, which is undoubtedly a huge help for "iPod" to seize the European market.

Although Jobs did not respond to Lin Feng's declaration of war in front of many reporters, many reporters have seen from his expressions that Jobs accepted Lin Feng's declaration of war, and there was a burst of ecstasy in their hearts at the moment, this time they are definitely not worried about sales, and tomorrow will definitely make the whole American people excited.

Outside the "Apple" company, Tan Zhi was waiting in the car, originally he proposed that he and Lin Feng go there, so that he could also help Lin Feng block some questions. Lin Feng is now the boss of the company, he is just an executive officer, no matter how difficult it is to answer the question, it is a big deal that Tan Zhi is a singleton to admit defeat, but Lin Feng can't admit defeat. It is not only a matter of the company's face, but also whether the "Phantom" can rise in the United States in the future.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng asked him to wait outside. This made Tan Zhi's heart extremely entangled, and he didn't know what kind of ridicule Lin Feng would suffer inside.

In the midst of the entanglement, Lin Feng came out with a smile on his face.

"Inside the boss," Tan Zhi wanted to ask, but didn't know how to speak. Although Lin Feng smiled, who knows if Lin Feng forced a smile. "Hehe, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just declaring war when I go in!" Lin Feng said with a smile and patted Tan Zhi's shoulder.

"Declaration of war?" Tan Zhi was stunned. "Yes, I told Jobs that I was going to give up the American market and go into the European market. Lin Feng looked at the night sky and let out a long breath and said.

Tan Zhi looked stunned, he didn't expect Lin Feng to give up the American market and enter the European market after such a while, and also declared war on Jobs in person, which was really surprising! Tan Zhi suddenly felt that he seemed to be really old and couldn't keep up with Lin Feng's rhythm. Although he is only 46 years old this year, he is still very young.

However, Tan Zhi had to admire Lin Feng's courage was really great. In other words, even if he really decided to abandon the American market and enter the European market, he would not tell Jobs. Perhaps this is also the reason why he has been limited to being the CEO and not starting his own company. He wasn't bold enough. Fortunately, Lin Feng has all this, as long as he does his essential work.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. This time, the choice to abandon the U.S. market was also a last resort. Now Jobs's blows against the "Phantom" are coming in waves, and now it is very difficult for the "Phantom" to gain a foothold in the United States, and Lin Feng imagined that since this is the case, why not temporarily give up this market and seize other markets. As for declaring war on Jobs in person, Lin Feng didn't have to be like this. However, Lin Feng was not convinced, the "Phantom" was by no means as bad as the current results, and he couldn't sell a single one. For the sake of face and to prove the "phantom", Lin Feng must declare war on Jobs.

Otherwise, in the future, "Apple" will attack the "Phantom" with the record of zero sales in the US market, and the "Phantom" will definitely abandon the "Phantom" and choose the "iPod" with the psychology of consumers, and then it will not only be unable to land in the US market, seize the European market, and even the Asian market will be difficult to keep.

At the same time, Lin Feng also has another meaning. Lin Feng wanted to turn Jobs' attention to Europe, and he wanted to defeat Jobs not only in the European market, but also in the American market. Although Lin Feng said that he had given up on the US market, he had not really given up.

Taking a step back doesn't mean I'm throwing in the towel, and letting go doesn't mean I'm giving up. All this is just a delaying tactic by Lin Feng, a strategy to retreat into advance. "Mr. Haolin, we went to the European market and brought the humiliation of the failure of the American market. Tan Zhi nodded and said with determination. "No, Mr. Tan, you leave me to go to Europe by myself. Lin Feng shook his head and said. Tan Zhi was stunned.

"Mr. Tan, I haven't decided to really give up on the U.S. market. Lin Feng smiled weirdly.

Tan Zhi was really confused and at a loss. "Hehe, Mr. Tan about the memory capacity problem of our 'Phantom', which cannot be solved in hardware for the time being, but can be solved in software. Lin Feng said.

Solve it on the software?--Tan Zhi was stunned and waited for Lin Feng to follow.

"Mr. Tan, Microsoft has just launched the Indos-XP system, which not only forces the majority of computer gamers to upgrade, but also introduces a new audio format - MA. Lin Feng said. This morning, when Lin Feng was bored and went to an Internet café in the United States, he realized that the operating system of the computer here had been updated to the indos-xp system, which made Lin Feng think of Microsoft's upcoming MA audio format.

MA (indos-media-audio) is a new audio format launched by Microsoft that is as famous as the MP3 format. Microsoft claims that the same file is twice as small as an mp3 with the same sound quality. Of course, this is as ludicrous as Microsoft's announcement that its operating system will not be basketed. However, one thing is true: in the audition of 128kbps and below bitstreams, the king of 3-format low-bitrate streams is not in vain. However, when the bitrate rises to 128kbp, 3 will be greatly improved with the increase of the bitrate. Tan Zhi's eyes lit up after listening to Lin Feng's explanation. The data rate of 128kbps is enough to meet the needs of most people, if it can solve the problem in the software and double the capacity, it is a great good thing for the "Phantom". At the beginning of next year, when 128M flash memory is popularized, the "Phantom" will be able to have 256M capacity using MA format, although it is still far inferior to the 4G capacity of the second generation of "iPod", but it is enough to meet normal applications. "So Mr. Tan, you have to stay in the United States and negotiate a license agreement with Microsoft for the MA audio format, and if possible, we can buy the copyright at a high price. Lin Feng said.
