Poor Qiao Gang Leader used to be a character with lightning in the ox, but at this moment, he was stunned by Lin Zheng's terrible smile and his hairs stood on end, and he subconsciously took a step back: "Lin, what are you laughing at?" ”

"It's nothing," Lin Zheng quickly put away his face, he also knew that his face just now probably frightened poor old Qiao: "I just think what you said makes a lot of sense." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info book chasing must-have"

"Really?" Gang Leader Qiao looked at Lin Zheng suspiciously, Lin Zheng's terrible smile just now really frightened him.

"Of course it's true," nodded seriously, Lin Zheng said: "Old Joe, you know, I have always firmly pursued the principle of 'cake has to be eaten with friends to taste', Apple wants to cooperate with ICQ?" And of course, why not? ”

"Okay," Lao Qiao nodded, but the vigilance in his eyes became more and more intense: with his understanding of Lin Zheng, this guy is not such a good talker, but since he can take the initiative to come to Lin Zheng today, in addition to persuading Lin Zheng to cooperate with Apple, he is mentally prepared to be slaughtered by Lin Zheng - you don't want to take out any benefits, why should people give you benefits? "Lin, what conditions do you have?"

This old Joe really has no style at all. Lin Zheng pursed his lips, his heart was very dissatisfied, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter: "Old Qiao, I heard that you have also developed a digital music copyright download software, called iTunes, and now it has been developed to version 0.7, right?" ”

"To be exact, it's 0.76," iTunes as a digital music copyright download and management software, the development progress of the entire project itself has been communicating with the five major record companies and the American Recording Industry Association, Lin Zheng knew that the progress of iTunes was not strange at all, but realized that Lin Zheng actually started to play iTunes The idea of Lao Qiao was alarmed: "Lin, iTunes is Apple's ......"

Lin Zheng's eyes widened. interrupted Joe's words and said in disbelief: "Old Joe, don't tell me if iTunes is for sale. ”

"Of course ......"

"Isn't it? Old Joe, you've disappointed me so much, you mean you're going to come and work with ICQ, but you're going to hold on to your iTunes...... Old Joe, you think I'm stupid. Or are you not normal? "Looking up and down at Gang Leader Joe, it's like looking at a madman.

Poor Qiao gang leader was uncomfortable to be looked at by Boss Lin.

Although he is very depressed now, Lao Qiao himself is not short of money, and his brother is also a billionaire, but he really doesn't have many qualifications in front of Lin Zheng, and when Lin Zheng looks at him with this kind of eyes, Lao Qiao bows his head slightly, and his eyes keep flickering.

That's right. He just wants to see if he can play a trick of empty gloves white wolf, and of course you can say, "Are you stupid when you treat everyone else?" ”。 But the logic of Westerners has always been "although you know that it is possible not to fight, but since you have the opportunity, why not try it?" Speaking of which, it is still a speculative psychology at work.

Lin Zheng sighed and pretended to be disappointed: "Old Joe, you know, I'm willing to help you, in my opinion, Apple is a very creative company, and I also know how much effort you have made to revive Apple." But you can't just think about making Apple cheap and take everyone else for stupidity. ”

"Okay," he said, knowing that his previous little abacus would not work. Old Qiao smacked his lips depressedly: "Say, Lin, what do you want?" ”

The situation is stronger than the man. No matter how much wisdom Qiao Gang Leader has, he can only kneel in the absolute strength comparison. Since you want to get a piece of the pie in digital copyright music, what else can you do besides accepting Lin Zheng's "blackmail" - in the opinion of Qiao Gangmaster, Lin Zheng will never let go of this opportunity to blackmail himself.

Will Lin Zheng do this? In fact - yes, he certainly wouldn't give up this opportunity to blackmail Old Joe.

"It's simple. ICQ acquires iTunes ......"

"It can't be!" Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, the Qiao gang leader screamed like a cat that had been stepped on its tail: iTunes is the most critical part of Qiao Gang Leader's countless plans, and Lin Zheng wants to buy iTunes? Are you kidding!

"Look, you don't even want to listen to me," Lin Zheng looked at Gang Leader Qiao helplessly, spread his hands and said to him: "That's the problem, you always want to make a profit from others, but you don't want to think about why others want you to make this cheap?" In our Chinese words, it's 'I'm not your father, I don't owe you', and I said it was just a simple acquisition? ”

Poor Qiao gang leader, his face flushed from being stimulated by Lin Zheng's words.

is also a figure worth more than a billion dollars, when has Old Joe been so stimulated? Even when he was kicked out of Apple by Apple's damn group of directors, those directors didn't dare to talk to him like this, how could he Lin Zheng?

Belch......

That's a good question, actually...... Why didn't Lin Zheng dare?

Qiao Gang Leader stopped talking, Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and said to Qiao Gang Leader in a serious and old-fashioned manner: "Old Qiao, we are friends, I tell you frankly, ICQ will never sit idly by and watch another product on the market that can compete with ICQ Music Store appear, whether it is iTunes or something else, I believe that you will do the same in this way, even if it appears, you will mobilize all your strength to suppress it, right?" ”

Gang Leader Qiao didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

There is no need to say some things too clearly, I know the importance of digital music copyright, this is not just the management of a global digital copyright file, the rights and influence brought by it are the most important, I know, so I am working hard, since I understand this, as a more successful capitalist than myself, Lin Zheng certainly has no reason not to understand this.

"But Apple obviously can't compete with ICQ, whether it's in the perfection of the software, the market acceptance of the product, the abundance of funds, or the scale of users, Apple can't compete with ICQ, so when Apple is ready to do iTunes, it is destined to be suppressed by ICQ, which is determined by the laws of the market, because iTunes is challenging the status of the ICQ music store, we must fight back," Lin Zheng spread his hands and looked at Qiao Gang with a sincere face: "But, Old Joe, We are friends, and with the acquisition of iTunes, Apple can own 20% of the ICQ Music Store. ”

“20%？” Qiao helped the master squeeze out a smile on his face, but this smile was a little ugly.

"20%," Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively: "Old Joe, you must know that the ICQ music store not only has a desktop client, but also a Linux mobile phone client, JA&VA smartphone client, we will integrate the ICQ music store into every mobile phone equipped with ICQ function, how many mobile phones equipped with ICQ client are there on the market now?" ”

How many phones with ICQ client are there on the market today? Lao Qiao really knows this problem, even the most conservative estimates, mobile phones equipped with ICQ clients also occupy half of the market share, that is, the most conservative number is more than 70 million.

Although the U.S. government does not allow Lisheng mobile phones to enter the United States, it can't stand the major mobile phone manufacturers to equip their mobile phones with ICQ clients, ICQ's influence is so great that even Motorola, the nemesis of Lisheng mobile phones, has to pinch its nose and carry ICQ clients on its own products,.

Think about it, 70 million ICQ mobile clients, that's a huge influence...... Just thinking about it, Qiao Gang Leader felt dizzy and powerless for a while: ICQ was too powerful.

"That's it?" Gang Leader Qiao did not answer directly, but asked Lin Zheng further.

"Of course not, Apple must ensure that it will not develop any type of digital copyright music download and management software in the future, and any electronic product that Apple has a digital music playback function or can be upgraded or installed to achieve digital music playback must be pre-installed with the ICQ Music Store, including but not limited to desktop computers, laptops, handheld computers, MP3 players, mobile phones and other products......"

Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Qiao Gang Leader's face turned pale and cold sweat was dripping when he heard it: ICQ is too ruthless, doesn't this mean that as long as Apple is still engaged in the electronics industry in the future, it can only look up to ICQ in the field of digital copyright music?

Biting his lip hard, Gang Leader Qiao shook his head firmly and said, "This is impossible!" ”

In the huge ambition of Qiao's gang leader, the iTunes music store is the beginning of building a complete ecological chain around Apple, and it is just a matter of selling the iTunes music store to Lin Zheng. This is absolutely unacceptable for Joe's gang leader, who is ambitious to build an Apple empire.

He was about to turn around and leave, but here in Lin Zheng, he felt a strong malice.

"And what else can I say?" Lin Zheng shrugged, and the reaction of the Qiao gang leader couldn't be more normal: "But old Joe, I only want to ask you, is Apple ready to go to war with ICQ?" ”

The Qiao gang leader, who was just about to turn around, instantly took root under his feet.

Is Apple ready for a war with ICQ? The answer, of course, is: no!

It can even be said that the Qiao gang leader never thought of having a tearing war with ICQ from the beginning, the reason is very simple, the strength is not enough, the strength in all aspects is not enough, otherwise he would not have made a special trip here to guard Lin Zheng.

Looking at the pale face of the Qiao gang leader, Lin Zheng said softly: "But ICQ is ready to fight against any opponent who dares to challenge, Apple...... Are you sure you want to do this? (To be continued.) )
