Chapter 319: The Mystery of the Invitation
Anyone can see the purpose of this invitation letter from Steve Jobs, the president of "Apple". Now in the American market, the "iPod" has completely overwhelmed the "Phantom" and beaten the "Phantom" without the power to resist, at this time, Jobs came to the invitation, undoubtedly to show off and show off, disgusting Lin Feng, this is the most naked mockery of the successful to the loser.
However, Lin Feng didn't think so. In Lin Feng's opinion, I'm afraid that Jobs is not so boring, an American legend who is almost comparable to Microsoft's Bill Gates will not be so boring to stimulate himself with this kind of invitation. If Jobs was really so boring and so petty, I am afraid that he would not have the glory of today's "Apple" and the "Pixar" he created in the animation industry.
Of course, this is just Lin Feng's speculation about Jobs, maybe he has this bad taste.
Indeed, the reason why Jobs gave the invitation to Lin Feng was naturally not purely to disgust Lin Feng. Jobs's intention was to probe the "throwing stones and asking for directions" in Chinese vernacular. Although Lin Feng's information is searched casually on goog1e, there are thousands of Lin Feng's academic qualifications, work experience, and growth deeds. But Jobs didn't believe in these so-called "materials", he believed in his own vision.
There is an old Chinese saying - seeing is believing, although Jobs was not Chinese and did not know that there is such a famous saying in China, but he did believe in it very much. This invitation was Jobs' first test of Lin Feng.
If Lin Feng doesn't come, although it is human nature, after all, no one wants to watch the opponent show off his might and bear the ridicule of the opponent when he fails. But if Lin Feng really doesn't come, his evaluation in Jobs's heart will undoubtedly drop a few notches immediately. Such a person was harmless to Jobs. After that, the strategy against the "Phantom" will be lowered by a few levels, and Jobs will not kill it all, but leave it to its own devices. While this would give competitors a chance, for Jobs, it was just a joy on the way to success. It's a very enjoyable pleasure to watch your competitors survive in pain and then be defeated by yourself when you're about to succeed.
A bad taste that made Jobs feel the thrill of extreme success.
However, if Lin Feng comes tomorrow, it will not be good news for Joe Booth and "Apple". In the face of competitors who almost collapsed to suppress themselves, Lin Feng could still attend this new "iPod" cloth meeting that looked insulting at a glance, and only this calmness and calmness and forbearance made people dare not underestimate it. Such an opponent is undoubtedly the most terrifying. If you don't beat him to death with a stick and let it survive, he will definitely be a fierce opponent in the future.
However, Jobs had a faint expectation in his heart for Lin Feng's arrival tomorrow, and he had not seen an opponent in the field of "Apple" for too long. He needs an opponent to stimulate himself and provide himself with pleasure. Of course, the winner in the end must be himself, and "iPod" will also defeat "Phantom" to become the only hegemon in the MP3 player market. Lin Feng is just another stepping stone on his way to success.
Holding the invitation letter from Jobs playfully in his hand, Lin Feng couldn't see joy or anger on his face. Tan Zhi didn't know what Lin Feng was thinking at the moment, but in other words, he received an invitation from Jobs when his product was defeated by Jobs, and Tan Zhi was very angry. This is a naked humiliation, and no one can be at peace.
"Boss, you're going to go to the yard?" Tan Zhi asked worriedly. Lin Feng glanced at the invitation in his hand again, and sneered a few times. If you ask, Lin Feng will naturally be angry when he sees this invitation. However, it will not be like a big thunder for this, which will only make the opponent look down on him even more. What's the use of being in this great thunder? It is useless except to make Tan Zhi more uneasy and self-blaming.
Lin Feng casually threw the invitation into the trash can like a dart and chuckled.
Tan Zhi frowned. If Lin Feng really went like this, he would definitely be ridiculed, which was really embarrassing. Tan Zhi was afraid that Lin Feng would not be able to withstand everyone's ridicule. Although he didn't want to face it, he lost his old face. What's more, he was originally a loser, both in China and in the United States.
"Boss, why don't you go with me!" Tan Zhi said very sincerely.
Tan Zhi's thoughts, Lin Feng naturally understood. However, when the time comes, there will definitely be a large number of reporters, and if Jobs is to sarcastically say a few more words, Lin Feng is also worried that Tan Zhi will not be able to stand it. Although Tan Zhi was born in the countryside and has suffered a lot and experienced many twists and turns, there is no doubt that his previous defeat was not a crime of war, and he did not lose it. Therefore, Tan Zhi can quickly get up again and create greater brilliance. However, this time it was Tan Zhi's complete failure, and he rashly decided to enter the American market, and was finally defeated by the "iPod", in which Tan Zhi had an unshirkable responsibility. With a strong sense of self-esteem, it would never be a good thing for him to endure Jobs' ridicule again.
If you don't explode in silence, you die in silence. 5o% chance Lin Feng didn't want to gamble. Tan Zhi is very important to his "Lin Technology Co., Ltd.", and if he loses the company's right-hand man because of Jobs's invitation and ridicule, the loss will be too great.
Although it looks more funny to go by himself, Lin Feng has his own advantages. I am young, only 21 years old this year, and even if I fail, I can make a comeback. What's more, even if it is a complete failure this time, what will be lost is only an American market, and at most endure a few words of ridicule, Lin Feng can still bear it.
Don't bully young people into being poor!--Besides, you are not poor.
"Hehe, the other party invited me by name, how could I back down. Mr. Tan, you still have to think more about how you can save the defeat and impress Jobs. Lin Feng saw that Tan Zhi was about to say something, and hurriedly stopped it.
Tan Zhi nodded, and didn't say anything more, but he was grateful in his heart, he naturally understood in his heart that Lin Feng's trip was for the sake of the company's face, the other party invited him and did not go to the company, and he couldn't afford to lose this face, and it was also a disguised submission; Although the company belongs to Lin Feng, he is the CEO of the company, and if he makes a mistake in his decision, he should be fully responsible, not the boss Lin Feng.
Thinking of this, Tan Zhi was not only full of gratitude to Lin Feng, but also had more confidence to compete with Jobs again. Especially when he saw the invitation letter from the garbage can, Tan Zhi's eyes shot out raging fire again, and the battle intention burned in Tan Zhi's eyes.
Seeing the battle intent in Tan Zhi's eyes, Lin Feng nodded secretly. In this way, even if I suffer some ridicule this time, it will be worth it. What's more, you may not be powerless to fight back. Although Lin Hai has not done anything now, but the matter is artificial, persistence is victory! The "iPod" second-generation new product exhibition will be held two days later, on November 24, US time. There are 2 days to go. Before he could think of a more effective response for the time being, Lin Feng first went to Salt Lake City, Utah, and went to the "Fox River" prison in the movie to visit the class. Lin Feng was filming a scene of "Michael Schofield" in prison in order to open the wall of the cell, and his roommate "Sukure" sang loudly at night in order to help him hide his voice, causing a riot among all the inmates in the prison.
Lin Feng was really a little intimidated when he first entered. The momentum was truly impressive, and it was rumored that many of them were actually prisoners serving their sentences. However, it was still warm to see the familiar "Michael Schofield" and others.
I'm afraid that after a scene, everyone will see Lin Feng.
"Lin, you're here. Spielberg greeted Lin Feng warmly when he saw it.
"Lin!" Jessica also came over and gave Lin Feng a warm hug. Although this filming is a TV series, Jessica still gained a lot. Not only is her acting skills higher than before, but she has also met many Hollywood stars through "Prison Break", especially with Spielberg, who have become friends, which will undoubtedly help Jessica's future Hollywood star career, and her star career will be more smooth. And the biggest surprise is "Prison Break", which makes Jessica extremely confident that it will definitely set off a peak in ratings in the United States. "Boss Xiexie!" Wentworth-Miller came over and thanked Lin Feng very sincerely. Miller is sure that this play will change his life, and all of this is brought about by Lin Feng, and he is full of gratitude to Lin Feng.
Looking at Millerin in front of him, the wind sighed with emotion. When they first met, Miller was still very immature, and his face always showed a kind of confusion and worry about the future, let alone no confidence. But now I see Miller's confidence again.
This made Lin Feng have to sigh that confident men are the most attractive. The Miller in front of him is the "Michael Schofield" who has fascinated thousands of fans. Under Spielberg's introduction, Lin Feng met the characters in the play one by one. Watching the characters you once witnessed in the TV series appear in front of you. Lin Feng still sighed with emotion. In particular, Lincoln in the play is called a gorilla in the play, and seeing that he is indeed physically like an orangutan and so strong! But what Lin Feng is really interested in is the one that makes all the audience hate his immortal Xiaoqiang - "T-bag". Although this "T-bag" plays a vicious bad guy, it has a huge popularity around the world, and almost all "Prison Break" viewers are impressed and admired by his acting skills. He is also the hottest supporting actor in "Prison Break" and has starred in many Hollywood movies. Maybe you can sign it to become the spokesperson for one of your company's brands. -- Lin Feng pondered secretly. With the future popularity of "T-bag", especially among men, it is true that some products are very suitable for his endorsement. Of course, now it's just Lin Feng's idea, and it's not in a hurry.
Later, Lin Feng invited all the crew and actors to have a light meal, and then Lin Feng rushed to Houston's own "Fsn-HousTon" TV station with the mother film of the first three episodes.
"Boss, this is the mother film of "Prison Break"?" Looking at the three sets of "Prison Break" mother film "Fsn-HousTon" in Lin Feng's hand, CEO Terry was excited. "Prison Break" is the most anticipated TV series in the United States today, but there has been confusion about which TV station will broadcast "Prison Break". Although Terry knew that "Prison Break" was invested by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng also told him that it would be broadcast by "Fsn-HousTon", but for Terry, he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't see the mother film of "Prison Break" for a day. After all, for today's "Fsn-HousTon", only by getting the broadcast rights of "Prison Break", "Fsn-HousTon" can become an instant hit. After all, "Fsn-HousTon" was only a local TV station with little entertainment, and since selling "Fsn-HousTon" to Lin Feng, Terry, who listened to Lin Feng, upgraded it to a national TV station and opened a TV drama channel, and bought some old TV dramas, so that the TV drama channel would not have no programs broadcast after it was opened. However, for "Fsn-HousTon", a former local station, although it has opened a national television station, the ratings are miserable. Moreover, there are few advertisements, and although it has become a national television station, the advertising price has not increased at all. Even the TV drama channel has a tragic situation of "buy 1 get 1 free".
Of course, this situation is mainly due to the fact that "Fsn-HousTon" is now completely unwell-known, and many American viewers do not even know that there is such a TV station. But if there was Prison Break, it would be completely different. "Old boss, does it really belong to us?" Terry hugged the "Prison Break" master film tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that it would be lost. But he can't be spared like this, after all, "Prison Break" is the most anticipated series in the United States today, who owns it, not only has ratings, but also has checks that major companies are rushing to send over. "Of course, I invested in it!" Lin Feng smiled.
Terry sighed after stroking the "Prison Break" master film carefully, and only then did he accept the fact that "Prison Break" would be played by his own "Fsn-HousTon". Terry couldn't help but cheer when he thought that "Fsn-HousTon" would become one of the most famous national television stations in the United States with "Prison Break" in the future.
"Okay, Terry, let's take a look at Prison Break and see how it goes. Lin Feng had no choice but to wait for Terry to finish sitting, poured himself a glass of champagne and said. "Yes, yes, let's take a look!" Terry also looked excited, and put the first episode of "Prison Break" into it with trembling hands. "Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang!" began with three gunshots, and a very handsome young American appeared in a bank and fired three shots into the air to rob the bank. But the strange thing is that he took the money but didn't leave, but rubbed in the bank until the police came. After that, he was very cooperative and surrendered and let the police take him away.
Seeing this, Terry was completely captivated by the plot. This handsome boy weishenme did this? Did he rob the bank? Grabbed 5o million and didn't leave? Weishenme didn't panic when he saw the police coming? And when he left with the police, he was so calm? One question after another appeared in Terry's mind. Terry's facial expression also fluctuated with "Prison Break", but when the mother film of the third episode was finished and exited, Terry turned his head to look at Lin Feng. "What about the boss?" asked Terry expectantly. Lin Feng shrugged.
"Oh my God! it's so pretty! Weishenme is gone!" Terry exclaimed, holding his head. Lin Feng smiled with relief. Lin Feng has watched the first season of "Prison Break" four times, although Spielberg's "Prison Break" is more compact in plot and grander in scene, but the script is from Lin Feng, and the characters in the play are all those people in the original play, Lin Feng is naturally not as exaggerated as Terry. Of course, when he watched "Prison Break" for the first time, Lin Feng also watched it in one breath from the first night, and finished watching it in the early morning of the third day. After reading it, people are not tired, but they are in high spirits, worried about the fate of the characters in the plot.
However, this time I still felt a little new when I looked at Lin Feng again. There are more Hollywood stars in it (such as the later Governor of California Schwarzenegger), and these Hollywood stars are cleverly interspersed by Spielberg, which can not only surprise the audience, but also not affect the audience's reading of TV because of the appearance of these Hollywood stars. Of course, what also interests Lin Feng is Jessica, the sexy goddess, who plays the heroine of "Prison Break" - Sarah. At first, Lin Feng was still very worried about Jessica playing Sarah, after all, Jessica was too sexy and beautiful, and I was afraid that she was not suitable for this role. But now, it seems that although it does not have the charm of the original Sarah, it is a little more shocking and glamorous, and it also makes people look forward to the emotional drama between "Michael" and "Sarah".
At this time, Terry was still complaining on the side, lamenting that Lin Feng had hung his appetite. But he didn't know that he was lucky. Compared to the fact that American viewers can only watch one episode a week, that is the real miserable. "Alright, Terry, you've announced that Fsn-HousTon will be streaming Prison Break. You're in charge of advertising contracts, and I'm sure you're better suited than I am in this area. "Lin Feng pats
Said by patting Terry on the shoulder. Terry has spent the last 17 years running the station. The experience in this area is undoubtedly far from being comparable to that of Lin Feng. Lin Feng naturally handed everything over to him, a capable man. It's also a good use.
Terry nodded emphatically, but he was good at it. And this "Prison Break" even watched it and was fascinated, not to mention other American audiences, it must be very popular. Of course, it will definitely make more manufacturers crazy about it. Terry can foresee a scene full of checks, and in the future, "Fsn-HousTon" will definitely make a lot of money with "Prison Break". Of course, excluding the filming fees of the 22 episodes of the first season, which cost a total of $100 million, it must not be much. However, once the fame of "Fsn-HousTon" spreads, it will naturally not worry about making money in the future. Subsequently, in the afternoon of the same day, Terry, who was resolute and resolute, held a press conference announcing that the "Fsn-HousTon" television station would broadcast the TV series "Prison Break", which had already touched the hearts of thousands of American viewers, and that Terry was extremely strategic in adopting the situation of public bidding, auctioning off the two advertising times in the middle of "Prison Break" and the advertising time before and after the broadcast. Upon hearing the news, the American television industry was in an uproar. No one expected that this unbroadcast and already popular "Prison Break" would be given the right to broadcast by a "Fsn-HousTon" TV station that has just opened a national television station and is still a little-known TV station. Of course, the most angry among them are the six American national television stations for "Fox".
Although they didn't know that Lin Feng had purchased the "Fsn-HousTon" TV station, Terry suddenly announced that "Fsn-HousTon" would broadcast "Prison Break", and the six TV stations were naturally suspicious. As a result, after a check, it naturally came to a result that made them angry, and it turned out that this TV station was acquired by Lin Feng. When they called Lin Feng and offered to buy his copyright, Lin Feng said that he had sold it to other TV stations. Isn't that fooling them?
The thought of these six largest US national television stations is a pang of annoyance. However, no matter how angry they are, the advertising time slot for the first episode of the first season of "Prison Break" has been auctioned off, but although "Prison Break" is highly anticipated, after all, "Fsn-HousTon" is still a national television station that has just been starred, and many manufacturers are still not sure what the ratings will be. The auction only sold for 3o seconds and advertised $350,000. It's well below Terry's expectations, but it's close to the advertised price of popular TV shows like "Fox." However, Terry believes that as long as "Prison Break" is played, it will be a big hit. There will definitely be a significant increase in prices in the future. When audiences across the United States were looking forward to the broadcast of the first episode of "Prison Break", Lin Feng returned to New York to attend the press conference of the second generation of "Apple" and "iPod". Jobs is also very much looking forward to what will happen to Lin Feng.
