readx;?“ It's not a matter of trust or distrust," said Lin Zheng, CEO of EMI EMI Records. Faxon replied: "Mr. Lin, can you guarantee that ICQ's MPEG-4ACC digital audio format will not be cracked and copied?" ”

"Mr. Rogge, are you kidding me?" Lin Zheng put away his smile, looked at this elderly white man in his 60s, and said lightly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He's here to give a technical explanation to the Big Five, but if the Big Five labels and the Record Industry Association really think it's ICQ begging them...... Then everyone will continue to talk about lawsuits in court, anyway, this is what lawyers like to see the most.

"Obviously, no," Rogge said. Farxon shook his head with a gloomy face: "If you can't guarantee this......"

"No one dares to guarantee this," Lin Zheng interrupted him unceremoniously, and said with a sneer: "There is no encryption technology in the world today that can achieve security in the true sense, if there is such a technology, I think even if it costs 100 billion, Microsoft will not hesitate at all." ”

Immediately, someone couldn't help it and laughed.

What to laugh at? What's so funny? Lin Zheng looked at these unserious guys on such a serious occasion with a confused face, and shrugged helplessly: Microsoft's annual losses due to piracy are definitely more than 10 billion, if there is really an anti-piracy technology that can achieve perfect anti-theft, 10 billion US dollars? Lin Zheng thinks that even if it is 200 billion US dollars, Bill. The guy at Gates won't hesitate for a second, and will immediately slap the table and shout, "Buy!" Buy! Buy! ”

On the other hand, Lin Zheng's meaning is very clear, we can only try to ensure the security of MPEG-4ACC digital audio, but man, don't mention these unrealistic conditions, okay?

Rogge. Fakesen opened his mouth, just about to say something, but Lin Zheng didn't give him a chance to speak, and raised his voice: "Everyone, if everyone still has the same mind as Mr. Rogge. Come and talk to me, I suggest that we stop for today's meeting, and I'm sure your gentlemen's companies must have evaluated our 'digital rights management' technology, dare I say so. ICQ's 'Digital Rights Management' is currently the most effective set of digital rights management methods and technologies, ICQ has hundreds of millions of loyal users around the world, and the cooperation with ICQ, whether it is for all of you record companies or for your hundreds of millions of people, the effect is far better than that of cooperating with any other company...... Mr. Jordin. Are you satisfied with our cooperation with Miss Britney's global promotion? ”

Jordyn, CEO of Sony Records, immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Satisfied, we are very satisfied." ”

Jordin is the head of Sony Records, and Britney Spears' Jive Records, which has been a mess in the world in the past two years, is a subsidiary of RCA Records, a subsidiary of SonyBMG Records, that is to say, Britney Spears is a Sony Record.

On Christmas Eve last year, JIVE Records and ICQ carried out an efficient promotion of Britney Spears around the world, and the promotion effect was very significant. There is a very intuitive data: Britney's commercial performance offer has jumped from the previous $2 million per show to $5 million per show, which means that Britney Spears has truly jumped into the ranks of the world's top singers, and Sony Records' happy mouth is crooked.

"Very good," Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, his gaze swept over the faces of the heads of the five major record giants one by one, and finally fell on Jordyn's face: "Mr. Jordyn, now you are having a headache for Miss Britney's 'virgin', right?" ”

As soon as Lin Zheng's words fell, instead of showing a gloating smile on the faces of the heads of several other record companies, they all changed in unison!

Britney's "virgin" is of course not a rich boss who is ready to take Britney. Spears once publicly declared that she was a devout Catholic. can't accept premarital sex & behavior, and only after marriage will she give her body to her husband, but these words are still in my ears, and some media broke the news about Britney. Spears has already moved in with her boyfriend. And at an awards ceremony in the UK last month, he said that he and his boyfriend "have a great sex & life", and as soon as the news came out, almost all Britney fans were stunned,

To put it mildly, many like Britney. Spears' fans are because Sony has promoted Britney as an angelic and pure girl, a pure and lovely virgin. It is this propaganda that has made countless otaku make Britney YY their dream lover, virgin & girl, this kind of existence that is rarer than pandas in the Western world, of course, you have to take a good YY, but now, the dream is shattered, Sony can almost imagine what kind of blow JIVE company and the "Britney" brand will suffer when such news is confirmed.

"Nope! You can't do that! "Jordine, who understands how serious Lin Zheng's threat is, has red eyes, Britney. Spears is no longer just a cash cow for JIVE, she is now the cash cow of the entire Sony record, and in order to keep this cash cow, Jordyn doesn't mind fighting with Lin Zheng at all.

"What am I going to do?" Lin Zheng looked at Qiao Ding with a confused expression, his expression was really as innocent as he wanted: "I just want to say, Qiao Ding, we are friends, if you need my help, you just ask, you think about it." ”

Phew!

If it weren't for understanding how powerful ICQ is, Qiao Ding would be able to spit on Lin Zheng's face now: Don't you understand what you mean by this?

But there is no doubt that Lin Zheng's threat is very realistic, if Lin Zheng really starts ICQ to smear and splash dirty water on the pillar artists under his record company, it will not take a lot of effort for ICQE, but for himself, if he wants to regain his reputation, it will not be ordinary.

It seems that in an instant, everyone suddenly realized that they had thought about the problem too simply. And......

If it weren't for Rogge. Farxon, that bastard, why are you so troublesome?!

In an instant, countless pairs of angry eyes turned Rogge. Farxon poked a thousand holes.

Lin Zheng is not too much for himself, ICQ still has to cooperate with record companies and record industry associations after all, it is enough to show his muscles and show that he is not easy to bully, really tear his face?

So how do you still make money?

Looking at the people with gloomy and uncertain faces, Lin Zheng said very "understandingly": "If you can't make up your mind, I suggest you think about it after you go back." We'll talk about it in three days, what do you think? ”

said that it would be discussed three days later, but combined with Lin Zheng's tone of yin and measure, the fool also understood. If everyone can't reach an agreement after three days, it will tear their faces, and for this scene, the bigwigs in the record industry are angry and helpless, and there is no way. Who made the current ICQ completely develop into a super monster-like existence?

I had to comfort myself in my heart: at least three days left.

…………………………

Looking at these big people who walked out dejectedly, Comrade Lao Bei's eyes straightened: I'll wipe it! The boss is really powerful!

How much effort did it take me to push the ICQ Music Store to this point, but now, look at the boss, come up and say a few words, and these guys who are invincible on weekdays are no different from defeated roosters.

"Okay, don't look at me with such adoring eyes," Lin Zheng pursed his lips, walked out with his hands behind his back, and educated Comrade Lao Bei as he went: "Lao Bei." How many times have I told you, don't look at how loud they are shouting one by one, but as long as you show the courage to fight tigers, you will find that imperialism is all paper tigers...... This was proven half a century ago on the Korean battlefield, once again in the Vietnam War, and now it is proven once again that it is still valid today......"

Boss Lin chattered, but Comrade Lao Bei didn't feel annoyed at all, because he found out. The boss's words really seem to be right, otherwise why would these guys be cowardly in the face of the boss's threat? Actually, I can do the same.

But after thinking about it seriously, Comrade Lao Bei finally smiled bitterly and said, "Boss." I envy you too, but it's just your own way, I can't do it, and that's probably why you were able to create ICQ, and I can only help you with ICQ. ”

"Tsk......" Hearing Lao Bei's words, Lin Zheng sighed: "Lao Bei." You don't have to blame yourself so much, you have done enough to make many people envious, after all, there is only one me in this world. ”

This is enough to pretend to be X, but Comrade Lao Bei thought it was true when he heard it, and nodded in agreement, and said, "That's right, that's it...... Hey? How did he get here? ”

Lin Zheng also stopped, looking at the man who was walking towards him quickly, and was secretly surprised in his heart: Qiao Gang Master? How did he get here?

Joe is still dressed in the iconic black T-shirt and blue jeans, and his round glasses still seem to be a little funny, but it would be ridiculous to think this man is funny.

Lin Zheng and Comrade Lao Qiao are also acquaintances, Lianchuang Technology can control ARM, Comrade Lao Qiao is "incomparable", after all, the circle is so big, seeing that Lao Qiao is coming at him, he simply stopped and beckoned to Lao Qiao with a smile: "Hi, Lao Qiao." ”

"Hey, Lin," Comrade Lao Qiao walked a few steps forward quickly, and gave Lin Zheng a hug when he came up: "Lin, I'm happy to see those guys in the record company so unhappy." ”

"Ha ......" Hearing what Gang Leader Qiao said, Lin Zheng immediately smiled: "Isn't it?" You actually spied? ”

"I'm not peeping, I'm watching!" The Qiao gang leader is so arrogant, and the one who can talk about voyeurism in such a style is probably the Qiao gang leader.

Lin Zheng laughed when he heard this: "Okay, Old Qiao, we are all acquaintances, let's say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Lin Zheng asked directly, he believed that Lao Qiao was definitely not staying here to ask if he had eaten; Lin Zheng was direct, and Qiao Gang Leader was even more direct, and said simply: "Lin, Apple intends to cooperate with ICQ on digital music." ”

Time and space have changed a lot from the original, in the original time and space, in October last year, Lao Qiao released the first generation of iPod, relying on this amazing product, Apple finally has signs of getting out of the quagmire, but unfortunately, how could Lin Zheng let go of such a classic product? He unceremoniously borrowed the iPod and unashamedly put up the Lisheng brand.

The iPod was robbed by Lin Zheng, and Old Joe's life was naturally not good, he had no money in his pocket, and the Apple Music Store, which was pinned on by Joe's gang leader, has not even been able to take out a semi-finished product so far, so naturally he can't come up with something convincing enough to impress the five major record companies and the record industry association - Americans are actually very narrow-minded, if the products that Lianchuang Technology and Apple can provide are similar, they will choose Apple 100%, there is no need to question this, but the problem is, Now Apple has just drawn a pie for the five major record companies, and the actual things can't be taken out at all, even if the Americans are narrow-minded, it is capitalism, everything is for the purpose of making money, Comrade Lao Qiao can't get what people want, and the benefits naturally have to fall on the head of ICQ.

"Cooperation?" Looking at the seemingly confident Qiao gang leader, Lin Zheng smiled: "Old Qiao, we are friends, if you came to me to borrow money, then I didn't say it, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, it's no problem, but since it's business, then business is business, what qualifications does Apple have to cooperate with ICQ now, or ...... What can you come up with to work with me? ”

Yes, the current ICQ is too rebellious, there are hundreds of millions of users in the United States alone, from 10 to 60 years old, there are almost no different services provided by ICQ, and compared with ICQ, Apple, which is still struggling, is indeed a little worse in terms of qualifications.

"Our iTunes music store is more perfect, and it does a better job than ICQ in DRM," Qiao Gang Leader said while observing Lin Zheng's expression change, and after making sure that Lin Zheng was dismissive of his words, finally, Qiao Gang Leader threw something that could really impress Lin Zheng: "The most important thing is that Lin, after all, there is a Chinese standing behind ICQ, let a Chinese control the American record industry, which will cause many people to worry, but if you allow Apple to participate, That's a different story entirely. ”

Lin Zheng has to admit that what Qiao Gang Leader said is very reasonable, the United States, which advertises democracy and freedom, is actually a rather narrow country in its bones, and its identity is a hard injury, what Lao Qiao said will indeed become a reason for others to attack ICQ...... In fact, there are people doing it right now...... So, looking at Lao Qiao, Lin Zheng smiled...... (To be continued.) )
