old fox! Qin Feng had a fit of stomach Fei.
I thought I had taken advantage of it. Who expected that I had to negotiate with major record companies.
This is not so easy.
Although in the long run, opening up music digital download is a good thing without harm.
However, it is only 1998. God knows what record companies think.
You know, companies in this industry, such as Microsoft, have missed the whole network era.
When Microsoft comes back, it has missed the development of the online world. Finally, with great wealth and power, he barely got on the bus of cloud computing. Of course, Microsoft has also become a company with a market value of more than trillion dollars by virtue of cloud computing.
Even Microsoft will miss it, not to mention the traditional record companies now.
Qin Feng remembers that jobs also spent a lot of effort to negotiate with major record companies.
Now, the trouble is left to yourself.
This 7% is really hard to take.
But there''s no way. Who can share the 7% profit? It''s really a little exciting.
So Qin Feng went to those record companies.
Lisa continues to improve the interface design in the company.
Although Qin Feng thought that the interface was very simple and beautiful, jobs still asked him to come up with several more options. Moreover, it should not be worse than the current scheme, but must be better.
This is the picky Steve jobs.
Sometimes it''s really painful to cooperate with it. Of course, because of his artistic cleanliness, products that change the world will be born.
It has to be said that sometimes people are different from each other.
At present, there are not many mainstream record companies in the world.
In this regard, there are five major record companies in the world.
Warner, universal, BMG, EMI, and Sony.
As for the familiar rolling stone, it is just a local record company in Baodao. Compared with the five major record companies in the world, there is a great gap. It can only be said that local record companies make it well known to the public.
But in fact, the vast majority of familiar singers basically sign up with the five major record companies.
Qin Feng''s goal is to win the online sales copyright of the five major record companies.
In this regard, Qin Feng''s first goal is naturally an old acquaintance Warner.
After all, Qin Feng bought cable technology from Warner, which made China jump into the era of high-speed Internet.
In addition, Qin Feng sold the copyright of Harry Potter to Warner.
It can be said that the two sides have the basis for many times of cooperation.
Originally, Qin Feng thought that this was a natural thing.
Digital music copyright, this is the general trend in the future. The two sides also have a basis for cooperation, which should be very smooth.
Who would have expected that the negotiations between Qin Feng and Warner were not smooth at all.
Warner records has no interest in Qin Feng''s proposal.
"Mr. Qin, the Internet age will come. However, we believe that people will still choose to audition in record stores, which will be more atmosphere and can be shared with more music lovers. As for the MP3 format you mentioned, its effect is not comparable to that of CD, and it can not provide people with the feeling of sound in its environment. Moreover, this may lead to rampant piracy. " Warner records president said.
Qin Feng frowned.
This is really an antique.
There is no prospect of the record market at all.
In the future, many singers will no longer pay much attention to the offline market. Many singers will sell directly online. That saves middlemen. Neither singers nor record companies will make less than before.
Even because the audience is wider, the income will increase greatly.
However, it is still a prosperous season for the offline record market.
This gives Qin Feng a headache.
The other party is not interested at all. What should we do?
"But isn''t it better to have one more channel?" Qin Feng asked.
"That is likely to affect offline sales. Moreover, if consumers go to record stores, they may buy many records instead of buying a single song on the Internet. " The president of Warner records rejected Qin Feng''s proposal.
This was true for several subsequent companies.
Qin Feng''s online sales proposal is not very optimistic.
Qin Feng had no choice.
Maybe it''s too early.
In fact, jobs launched the iPod at the end of 2001.
It is the second half of 1998. Although there is only a difference of three years between the two, three years can be said to be an era in the Internet market.
Especially in the next few years, every year, the development of the Internet will change with each passing day.
Three years can indeed change many people''s ideas.
And now, how do you convince them?
There is only one company left, Sony.
But Qin Feng didn''t want to go.
Because, this is going, I don''t know what will happen.
You know, Sony is a giant in the Walkman market. Qin Feng was worried that he would remind Sony if he went to talk about the cooperation with them.
In that case, you''ll be in trouble.
After all, Sony has its own resources. It''s easy to get one out.
On my own side, but I don''t have any resources.
What should I do? Qin Feng hesitated.
Are you going or not?
After thinking about it, Qin Feng decided to visit Sony records.
Anyway, try it.
As for Sony, if it also launches an online mall, it doesn''t matter. Perhaps it can reverse the current backward concept.
It would be great if it could.
Then, let''s compete again.
With his ipod, Qin Feng believes that he can defeat Sony.
After all, although Sony''s Walkman is awesome, it is inferior to the iPod in all aspects.
Qin Feng stepped into Sony records headquarters.
After waiting a little, Qin Feng met Howard Stringer, President of Sony records.
For the arrival of Qin Feng, Howard Stringer didn''t catch a cold.
However, because this time, Qin Feng''s car sales are extremely amazing. As the boss of Chinese local car brands, he defeated many international brands in the golden week of the eleventh, which makes Qin Feng very famous in Japan.
After all, before that, Huaxia automobile was half dead. Even said, has been basically buried.
However, Qin Feng saved him with his personal strength. Although the performance is not good in all aspects, the quality control is good. Coupled with the entry-level price and fashionable appearance, many Japanese car enterprises regard Qin Feng as the biggest competitor in China in the future.
Howard Stringer also heard some rumors about Qin Feng from some Japanese people. At this time, Qin Feng''s visit made him very curious.
"Mr. Qin, I heard that your Daqin automobile was the first in sales at this Huaxia International Auto Show and defeated Japan and other countries. What do you think?" Asked Howard Stringer curiously.
Qin Feng looked depressed. I''m here to talk about records, not cars.
