Not only do you want to design server chips, but also mobile phone chips?

Is there a limit to Song Chen's ambitions? Or are they getting closer and closer to the career map in Song Chen's heart?

After the meeting adjourned, Eric left the chairman's office? There was excitement in the eyes of Schmidt and others to witness history. It has to be said that it is a very fortunate thing to have a visionary leader to lead them in the direction of their journey.

The only thing that is certain is that goog1e and Chenxing Technology will once again expand their cuffs and recruit engineers on a large scale in the US market, where there are constant rumors of bankruptcy and layoffs!

Regarding Song Chen's ambition to enter the mobile phone industry, Tony? Fadel doesn't know yet, and Song Chen doesn't want to give Tony, who is now extremely excited? Paudler and the management team are adding to the burden, and they are busy preparing for the "i-Hips Seminar" - for the employees of Chenxing Technology, they are ready to add another great product to the market.

Even, iHips is not just an online store that sells digital music, to put it more academically, Hips is related to whether Chenxing Technology can create an end-to-end service and form a closed-loop ecosystem!

From Song Chen's point of view, if ihips can succeed, Chenxing Technology will not only be able to emerge in the technology industry and the music industry, and gain the control and bargaining power of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, but more importantly, the birth of ihips will hit Apple Inc., which is already brewing the same strategy, to the greatest extent.

Steve Jobs could lead Apple to prescribe other versions of the iPod, or even more perfect electronics...... But in the construction of the iHips store, Apple has actually lost the ability to negotiate with the music giants, because Song Chen's agreement with them has a certain exclusivity, and the record company does not want to license their copyright to Apple or other companies, thus distracting consumers!

Of course, Song Chen is not resting on his laurels, and he has been worried that using Jobs' strategy to snipe Apple will eventually lead the other party to "subvert" the smartphone industry prematurely...... Therefore, Song Chen decided to lay out the mobile phone industry early. This is one of the reasons why he has such a high interest in ARM.

In Mountain View, located in central California, the temperature on a day is not much different from that in Donou. As the weather gradually cooled down, except for the pregnant Zhao Lin and Idei Ayaka, the wives and concubines never forgot to dress themselves up gracefully and noblely, and they were keen on all kinds of sexy dresses, just wearing a coat.

In the master bedroom of the Song family's mansion, Song Can knelt on the soft carpet under the bed and played with the Transformers puppet, muttering to himself, some of which he could understand, and some of which were vague. The childish voice makes people laugh.

Helping her fiancé sort out her tie, Zhang Ruoxi asked softly, "When will you come back at night?" ”

"I don't know!" While arranging the cuffs, Song Chen said casually, "Just accompany him for a meal, I don't know if there are other arrangements at that time!" Anyway, don't wait for me, eat by yourself! ”

"I'm going to have dinner with Mrs. Goyou in the evening!" Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile.

"What about Cancan? Do you want to bring it with you? ”

"He's so active, if you take him there, you have to take care of him, it's too troublesome!" Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. "Don't worry, Ah Yan Mengyao will take care of me at night!"

"That's good!" Song Chen smiled, lowered his head and kissed Zhang Ruoxi's face, "I'm leaving!" ”

"Hmmm! Come back early! ”

With the approach of "I hips cloth meeting". The major record giants, whether they are in a wait-and-see attitude or planning to cheer, are already on their way. Sony CEO Nobuyuki Idei and Andy? Lark came earlier, so Song Chen decided to bring Idei Ayaka to invite the future "father-in-law" to dinner tonight. To show his affection for his daughter, by the way, contact the feelings.

After all, Chenxing Group and Sony Group have a lot of complementary features. If there is an opportunity to deepen understanding and cooperation, Song Chen will certainly not let it go.

In the luxurious box of the hotel where the Sony representatives stayed, when Nobuyuki Idei saw Song Chen appear in front of him with his daughter wearing a bright red dress and a shy face, Nobuyuki Idei was touched, and there were many sighs: The daughter seems to be doing well now, at least she has gained a firm foothold by Song Chen's side.

Very gentlemanly, he pulled out a chair and let Izui Ayaka sit down, and Song Chen then sat down next to Izui Ayaka and asked in fluent English, "Good evening, uncle?" ”

Nobuyuki Idei smiled faintly: "I thought you would take this opportunity to call me 'father', why, my daughter is not qualified to let you call me like that?" ”

"Daddy!" Idei Ayaka didn't expect her father to say these words mercilessly, her pretty face changed slightly, and her expression was both shy and apprehensive, worried that her father's sudden request would annoy her lover.

Idei Ayaka's worries are superfluous, and Song Chen is indeed a gentle and considerate man. Not to mention Song Chen's woman, even the upper and lower levels of the company rarely see him angry, not to mention that he does possess the other party's daughter, and the reason is not on his side!

It's just that Song Chen didn't expect to meet again, and Nobuyuki Idei would make it difficult for him about the "title", he smiled: "The reason why I didn't call you father is because I haven't thought of how to give the Jing family a decent 'dowry' and give you and your social circle an explanation!" ”

Song Chen's answer not only made Nobuyuki Idei nod with satisfaction, but even Izui Caixiang's face showed an unbelievable surprise: Don't know, but Alipay's equity has been divided into two and given to Zhao Lin and Jiang Yan, as a member of the Song family, how could she not know?

When she knew about it, she didn't say anything about envy, but she didn't expect that she would have such treatment, which undoubtedly made her feel extremely surprised!

"I am very glad that you have such a heart, and it is not in vain that my daughter follows you wholeheartedly!" Nobuyuki Idei smiled slightly, "By the way, I heard that you stopped by to visit the CEO of EMI Records some time ago?" It looks like you're talking well, and I've heard that Mr. Fraser is full of praise for you! ”

Song Chen curled the corners of his lips and said with a light smile: "Not only do I want him to praise me, but I also hope that he can deeply feel the powerful power of the Internet and my profound influence in the industry!" ”

Looking at the high-spirited Song Chen, Nobuyuki Idei smiled and said, "So confident? ”

"More than just self-confidence!" Song Chen said calmly, "But we are ready!" Once the buttocks are clothed, with the QQ of the Chenxing network and the power of goog1e, even if it is not connected to traditional media advertisements such as guò TV and outdoor. We are still confident that we will be able to get this product in front of potential consumers as soon as possible! ”

Nobuyuki Idei nodded thoughtfully, then said after a deep sigh: "This time I came to the United States, in addition to coming to participate in the i-buttocks, more importantly, I want to ask for your opinion!" ”

Nobuyuki Idei's sudden attitude made Song Chen stunned, and he asked, "What makes you so cautious, uncle?" ”

Nobuyuki Idei said slowly: "I guess you know that there are many mountains within the Sony Group, and our consumer electronics department can make fashionable and beautiful products; Our music department has also signed up with popular artists, but each department is trying to protect its own interests, although I have tried to change the status quo by reforming the way I have done it a few times, and the digital transformation program is just to change the chronic problem between departments, but now it seems. How difficult is the future...... This time, iPod has achieved eye-catching sales results, as a new company, Chenxing Technology is doing well! ”

With a deep sigh, Nobuyuki Idei continued, "The consumer electronics department of Sony Electronics heard that the digital music format of iHips only supports iPods and not other digital players, so the director hopes to get a piece of the digital format so that our digital music rights can also be authorized by Hips!" ”

Song Chen shook his head categorically without hesitation: "Just like Andy, CEO of Sony Records? Mr. Lack's previous request is the same, this involves the overall strategy of Chenxing Technology and even the group, so even if you come forward to intercede. I can't accept it either! ”

Nobuyuki Idei said with displeasure on his face, "Why! The nascent business empire is strong and fragile, and because of this, it needs allies more than rivals! ”

Song Chen smiled slightly: "Uncle, don't be angry, in fact, you understand very well!" Chenxing Technology and Sony Electronics are indisputably competitors. In the mall, no opponent will be stupid enough to show his hole cards to others, or even share them with his competitors! What's more, if I agree to your request, EMI Records, Universal Music Group, AOL Time Warner, and Bertelsmann Records will have a reason to get a piece of the bag. This hurts my interests immensely! ”

Nobuyuki Idei shook his head: "Although you have a gentle and humble personality, you have never given others room to turn around in the things you decide...... That's it! I knew before I came to the U.S. that they were a little whimsical! But Xiao Chen, you have already provoked Li Kunxi. Do you think it's really good to be the enemy of Sony again? ”

"Uh......" Song Chen glanced at Izui Caixiang and sneered, "You know about this!" ”

Idei Ayaka playfully stuck out her tongue, and Nobuyuki Idei smiled slightly: "Don't get me wrong, the entanglement between Samsung and Sony is unimaginable to you, we each have a business intelligence department that collects competitors, South Korea...... Especially what happened to Samsung Electronics, our side quickly found out, and vice versa! We had heard people mention that Lee Kun-hee was in a bad mood during this time, but I don't know why, and I only learned about this insider when Chae-hyang called me......"

Speaking of this, Nobuyuki Idei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "A man who is so romantic to you has to say is very remarkable, but it matches your business talent!" ”

Idei Ayaka smiled shyly: "Isn't this world a society where the strong are respected, the stronger Ah Chen's ability, the more resources he can naturally occupy, this is a matter of course!" ”

Glancing at his daughter, Nobuyuki Idei picked up the teacup and smiled without saying a word.

Song Chen sneered: "This is almost a beautiful misunderstanding!" In any case, even if I share my coding technology with Samsung or Sony, it won't change the reality that we are competitors, so why should I bother to make myself fat out of my competitors? ”

Nobuyuki Idei nodded, then smiled, "That's pretty much it, let the waiter serve the food!" ”

"There's one thing!" After a little hesitation, Song Chen said softly, "Just like the general environment of China, Sony Group is now carrying a huge historical burden, and it is actually very difficult to make Sony Group adapt to the changes of the times through reform!" ”

Nobuyuki Idei's eyes darkened, and he forced a smile: "Oh, what do you want to say?" ”

"If you can't do it. Uncle can join the Chenxing Group! ”

Nobuyuki Idei stared at Song Chen, who smiled lightly. In Idei's expectant gaze, Nobuyuki Idei nodded.

"I'll think about it!"

……

On November 2o, 2ooo, there are three days left before Thanksgiving, an important holiday in the West.

"iHips Cloth Club" is still at the local Intercontinental Hotel, and the huge door advertisement impresses everyone who sees it: "Let's change the world together!" ”

In the auditorium of the Intercontinental Hotel, the giants of the record industry and the reporters of the media industry gathered here as if they were rushing to the grand event. Lark, Patrick? Fraser and other bigwigs in the record industry, and even Song Chen invited Apple CEO Steve Jobs. He declined Song Chen's invitation and sat lonely in the back row not far away, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

As the Cloth begins, in the flickering magnesium lights, Tony? Fadel stepped onto the stage in a well-dressed manner, holding the microphone, and he smiled: "As is customary, I may want to thank my Boss first, he gave me this opportunity!" That's right. It's still his brainchild! ”

The audience laughed, Song Chen smiled and applauded, and then the applause became a piece, like thunder.

"I would also like to thank the employees of Chenxing Technology and the engineers of the former Napster. In these tense days, you have poured too much effort into it! Now, it's time to show this great product to the world! "Tony? Fadel said affectionately.

As soon as his words fell, the words "i hip esstore" appeared on the screen behind him.

"Like Sean? Mr. Fanning had promised that. We're going to save the music industry! How? "Tony? Faddell smiled, then added, "The idea is clear and simple. We provide higher quality music, better service experience, and more convenient downloads...... And, of course, most importantly, the affordable price! Yes, that's our hip esstore! ”

The huge screen then appeared the interface of the iHips software.

Different from the ihips interface in the memory of later generations,Out of infringement considerations,Song Chen has made a significant change to the design interface,If you have to find a reference target,The interface that appears in everyone's eyeballs has more similarities with Kuwo music,It's very different from Apple's version ten years later!

Of course, there are similarities, such as a simple and clean style, such as the needs of some user feedback.

"We automatically sync songs and playlists to iPod via GuòUSB, we have added an equalizer and fade crossover effects in version 1.O, and iHip ESSTORE currently supports the Indos desktop operating system."

"At the same time, the software also allows you to rip CDs to MP3 and organize their music in an easy-to-use interface, and users can also use our tool iVie and IDVD to make their own mixed CDs and re-burn them into new CDs, just like a hybrid tape!"

Soon, Tony? Fadel began to excitedly explain the most important function of the iHip esstore: "Of course, the iHips is an online digital music store, and we have contacted the record company through guò, and at first there will be 3o million pieces of music online, and every day after that, there will be new tracks, you can buy one album at a time, or you can just buy your favorite singles!" With iButtos Store, you can get the songs you want, burn them to CD, and don't worry about the quality! In addition, you can also audition the tracks and use your own tools to make your own music albums, so what about the price? ”

Tony? Fadel sold the microphone with both hands, and the content of the screen behind him changed into a huge number!

"99 cents!"

"Wow!"

"You're kidding!" There was an uproar in the audience.

Previously, the industry was speculating about the cooperation between Chenxing Technology and the record company, and they thought that the inside story would be very exciting, but they didn't expect it to be such an answer! They couldn't believe that the record company, which has always been an iron rooster, would approve of the plan launched by Chenxing Technology!

"Yes! That's 99 cents, less than a third of the price of a Starbucks latte! "Tony? Fadell's voice was visibly excited, "Why is it worth the money, because it takes 15 minutes to download a good song from P2P sharing software like Nepster or Kazaa, while it only takes 1 minute!" Spend a whole hour just to save $4 and you're earning less than the minimum hourly wage! ”

Tony? Fadel's voice suddenly rose a few points: "What's more important is ...... By downloading songs with iHips, you are not stealing, you will make the entire music industry survive from the shadow of piracy, so that more artists can create better songs! What could be more joyful than this? ”

After that, the sound of the entire auditorium rang out with even more deafening applause than at the opening! (To be continued......)
