Chapter 347: There Are No Eternal Enemies
75 Chapter 347 There Are No Eternal Enemies
Microsoft's news was like a thunderclap on the ground. It caused eight points to shake and thousands of people to pull it.
However, many media outlets are doomed to disappointment, although Steve Ballmer announced with great fanfare that Microsoft is ready to enter the Walkman market and launch a "player", but this is completely a satellite. Just like the "Star Wars" Jihua in the United States back then, it was pure fooling the Soviets. This time, Microsoft was just fooling Lin Feng and wanted to put pressure on Lin Feng to force him to negotiate again.
Microsoft's status as a proud software empire made it impossible for it to negotiate with Lin Feng.
No matter how much Steve Ballmer wants to promote his "audio format." "He couldn't even put his face down. But Steve Gunmer disappointed reporters. Lin Feng disappointed Steve Cannon Mol.
Lin Feng ignored Microsoft's fanfare, and after making an appointment with Tripp Hawkins, the president of Blade O, he leisurely went to Houston to see how his TV station was performing during this time. The result was still very satisfying to Lin Feng.
With "Prison Break" shaken out episode by episode. In the play, "Michael Colefield's encounter has attracted the sympathy of countless American housewives, and the highest ratings have broken through the hearts of 10,000 people, breaking the ratings record of American TV series set by himself in the first episode of "Prison Break", which persuaded 10,000 people, and at the same time, the price of its ugly seconds has also stopped rising to 40,000 dollars, and the price of "Prison Break" has also risen to 10,000 dollars in the first 3 minutes of the show, and it has also risen to x million dollars in the first minute at the end of the film.
However, other periods of time remain unattended.
Helplessly, Lin Feng added: "TV stations have no haode programs except for "Prison Break", so they can only buy programs from other TV stations, but most of them are about to be rotten by other TV stations, and the ratings can be imagined.
For Terry's helplessness and ambition, Lin Feng can only be relieved, take your time, the TV station has just become a national TV station, don't worry.
During this time, "the TV station also relied on the charm of "Prison Break", and only 6 episodes were broadcast, which brought Lin Feng a gross profit of more than 10,000 dollars, which made Lin Feng have to sigh at the huge profits of the popular TV series. If the first season of ugly episodes is broadcast according to this ratio, it can bring at least 200 million dollars of income to Lin Feng, in addition to Lin Feng's investment of $100 million and related publicity and other expenses, he can also earn about $100 million x tens of millions of dollars.
"Alas, boss, what the damn Alexander made of the Houston Rockets, alas. Look at the ratings on the sports channel, look at the ratings for "Prison Break", boss, I really want to hit the wall!" Terry complained.
Listening to Terry's words, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he had a plan in his heart.
That's when a phone call came.
"Hey, I'm Sun Lin, Lin Feng saw that the phone number was extremely unfamiliar.
"It's me Jobs, and there is a voice on the other end of the phone that Lin Feng couldn't have imagined.
Lin Fengren was stunned and didn't understand why Job called him.
"Lin, I'm afraid you didn't think it was me!" Jobs said with a few coughs.
Lin Feng responded, and he really didn't expect that Jobs would call him after he was so sick that he was angry.
Jobs shook his head helplessly. This time, Lin Fengqi's illness was actually just an over-exaggeration of the media's publicity, and the cause was mainly Jobs's old illness, which later broke out because of Lin Feng's stimulation. But Jobs's illness really scared a lot of people. The most worried, of course, is the "Apple" company. It was hard to bring Jobs back again, and under his leadership, "Apple" came out of the trough, and if Jobs was downcast by Lin Feng, he could no longer lead "Apple." I'm afraid that all the directors of "Apple" have swallowed Lin Feng's heart.
Fortunately, Jobs woke up after a few hours of coma, and there was no major problem, and he only needed to recuperate for a while. In order to prevent Jobs from recovering again in the future, "Apple."
The board forced Jobs to quit all work. Concentrate on recuperation, and then return to the company to reorganize the mountain when the illness is cured.
Because of this, Jobs threw off everything in his hands and recuperated quietly. The cultivation of these days also made him realize the reason for the failure of this "gong" European market.
Digging Beckenham first is a dumb move. This method is relatively despicable, and many consumers do not agree that the consumers they are competing for are also the type of wall grass, and when Lin Feng brought out Prince William and other members of the British royal family, these consumers easily turned back. Second, and most importantly, the logic of trying to dominate the market is wrong.
The price of "coin" is destined to be a high-end commodity in the player market, and the consumers facing it should be those white-collar workers who live a wealthy middle and upper class. turned out to be because of Lin Feng's stimulation, Jobs tried in vain and the inexpensive "phantom". Snatching the low-end market is undoubtedly a catty.
Decision-making failures. After all, all countries are as rich as the United States. Relatively. Lin Feng's "Qiaoji" does not have any flaws in quality, which is naturally more popular with this kind of people.
Now it seems. "Towel" and "Phantom" are simply two products that can coexist, "Phantom" and "Seal" do not produce any positive conflict, unless one of them vainly tries to seize the market of the other. So. Jobs summed up one thing: this time he fought a confused battle, so he lost confused.
In this case, there is not much enmity between Jobs and Lin Feng. However, thinking of being asked by Lin Feng this time to be transferred and deceived into red dollars, Jobs' heart was dripping blood. He was stupid enough to give Lin Feng Company a mouthful of 10,000 dollars, and Jobs felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his head felt blind.
I'm so stupid. However, it is also strange that Lin Feng is too cunning, and he actually staged an "undercover" trick with Beckenham.
Jobs shook his head helplessly.
However, thinking that this fierce mouth of 10,000 dollars can allow Lin Feng to produce at least Tian Wantai "Phantom", and then Tian Wantai "Phantom" can bring Lin Feng at least 10,000 dollars of income every year, not to mention how uncomfortable it is in Jobs's heart.
It stands to reason that Jobs will never call Lin Feng now, although he is no longer a competitor, he is not a friend either. However, with Microsoft announcing the launch of a new "audio format" and threatening to enter the walkman market, Jobs couldn't sit still.
Losing to Lin Feng Jobs can be endured. But if Microsoft is to enter the walkman market, "Apple" will never be forgiven for losing to Microsoft. Back then, "Apple" put Microsoft on the table. And taking the opportunity to make it a Microsoft empire has made "Apple" regret it for twenty years. Now Jobs must not tolerate Microsoft riding on the head of "Apple" again.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and that being the case. Lin Feng is a friend of Steve Jobs, teaming up against Microsoft.
"Lin: I think we can work together. Jobs told Lin Feng his intention.
Lin Feng nodded when he heard this, and immediately agreed to Jobs. In the same way, now this market has "phantoms" and "gong". "There's no room for Microsoft anymore. With Microsoft's wealth, it is not impossible to regain the market if it really doesn't want to spend money. Therefore, Lin Feng and Jobs are bound to join forces. Let's take on Microsoft together!
There are no permanent enemies, only common interests.
The next day, Lin Feng and Jobs announced at the same time. The two companies have formed a strategic alliance to jointly develop the player market. In the contract, Lin Feng and Jobs stipulated that the calendar dollar was the boundary: "Small shall not launch a player under 55 US dollars, and Lin Feng shall not launch a player above the US dollar, and the two will operate their own fields to jointly fight against Microsoft."
The news spread and the industry was in an uproar. No one would have thought that the two companies that fought to the death last month would now suddenly announce a strategic alliance. It's unimaginable.
It's like watching Ultraman. Ultraman is still fighting with monsters, and in the next shot, Ultraman is sitting with monsters drinking tea, which makes everyone's brains almost short-circuit.
Of course, discerning people can still see at a glance the significance of the two companies suddenly forming a strategic alliance at this time. Apparently in response to Microsoft's declaration of "entering the walkman market" on October x, the hegemon of the two player markets will work together against Microsoft.
The alliance between "Phantom" and "Gong" is a normal business method in business. The two weak companies unite to fight against the strong enemy and seek the space and power to survive. But the American media is very unhappy, and the network is still happy that Microsoft can teach this arrogant Chinese kid, but in a blink of an eye, Jobs has formed an alliance with Lin Feng, which makes the American media really not happy. In his indignation, he satirized Jobs's depravity and cooperated with opponents who defeated him.
Jobs has always been cold to these reporters' boring articles. He only cares about one thing. Whether the company can make money.
Profit comes first.
The one who was most dumbfounded by this news was naturally Microsoft. Steve Cannon didn't expect that he was just stimulating Lin Feng and wanted to force him to bow his head. When Microsoft comes to negotiate again, he will lower his conditions a little, and the two companies will reach a good alliance. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng not only did not come to Microsoft, but directly promoted the alliance between Lin Feng and Jobs, which made Steve Cannon cry and laugh, and the reaction of the two companies was too intense.
It's good that the two companies have turned their rivalry into jade silk, each operating in their own fields, jointly dominating the entire market, and completely cutting off all the thoughts of other companies, which is the player market, where can other companies have a foothold.
Styr Cannon is extremely depressed! But what should Microsoft do next?
