Ten years later, what if these record companies don''t want to continue to cooperate?
"Do we have any loss?" Qin Feng shrugged, "nothing more than a service fee of 5 million a year and some advertising fees."
"Isn''t that much?" Lisa was surprised. "Moreover, we use their database, just a link. After a long time, maybe they are willing to do it by themselves. Then we were kicked out. "
All resources are in each other''s hands. My side is just an intermediate platform.
There are no intellectual property rights and no technical barriers.
"So ah, we all earned it in vain now, so it''s nothing to lose." Qin Feng grinned.
"But this idea is yours." Lisa was a little ashamed of Qin Feng. "Without you, they don''t know they can make money. In particular, Nokia gave each of them more than $20 million in a quarter. Where would they make the money without you? "
"That''s true. But I didn''t give anything. I just went to talk to Nokia, and then went to the five major record stores to get their authorization. That''s all I did. " Qin Feng shrugged, "they all have their own platforms, and it is the man who sets the White Wolf empty handed."
Lisa knew Qin Feng was right, but it was because Qin Feng was not worth it.
Although the five major record companies recognized the advice this time, they took the initiative to find Qin Feng to sign a contract. But she also saw something strange in the contract.
Although the contract is 10 years, there will be a breach clause in any contract. The penalty is three times the income of that year.
The three times is too low for the five major record companies.
It''s not binding at all.
Only $15 million. They can make more money from Nokia''s ringtone download business in a quarter.
"But why did they default?" Qin Feng said with a smile, "Lisa, we just make them $5 million. And almost $1 million is used to pay for related labor costs and server maintenance costs. We only make them $4 million. They won''t choose to make trouble with me for $4 million. "
Lisa wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, she didn''t say anything in the end. Now that the contract has been signed, let''s do it first.
Soon, Lisa took the contract to apple to find jobs.
"Got it, good!" Jobs nodded.
"Is that good? I think the other party may tear up the contract at any time. " Lisa glanced. "I told him, but he wasn''t worried."
Lisa said this to jobs in the hope that her father would remind Qin Feng. He said, Qin Feng didn''t listen. But Jobs said that Qin Feng should listen.
"Are you a pig? Why are you so stupid! " When jobs heard this, he was furious. "Why are you my daughter? You''re a fool! I''ve never seen anyone as stupid as you. How can Qin Feng like a stupid woman like you? "
Lisa was directly stunned by Jobs''s fierce and unscrupulous scolding.
She, what''s the matter?
"You don''t understand why you''re stupid?" As soon as jobs saw Lisa''s blank face, he knew that Lisa must not understand anything.
"I''m going straight once. If you weren''t my daughter, I wouldn''t explain. " Jobs said coldly, "indeed, you didn''t make much money on this contract. Moreover, the five major record companies still have the initiative. They can tear up the contract at any time. But why did they tear up the contract? Just for that $5 million, make a lot of noise, and then spend your energy to build such a platform? Are they crazy? "
"Then why do they have to sign three times the liquidated damages. That''s too little. This means that they should just want to default. " Lisa doesn''t understand.
"Fool! You fool. Fortunately, you study art. If you want to do business, you will lose all your venture capital one day. " Jobs yelled.
The person who scolded was vicious, as if the person in front of him was not his own daughter.
However, Lisa is a little used to the jobs in front of her. That''s how I was scolded from childhood.
As long as jobs was unhappy, or said that he had done something wrong, which made him feel very stupid, he would scold at every turn, regardless of the feelings of others.
Lisa is very used to it.
"Forget it, it''s unnecessary to explain to you because you are so stupid. As long as you know, Qin Feng''s contract is very beneficial to the five major record companies. But therefore, Qin Feng can really cooperate with each other for a long time. As long as the two sides cooperate, Qin Feng can make money. If you don''t understand, think about where you need to spend money and how much you can earn! " Jobs finished and said no more.
"You can go back and tell Qin Feng. The iPod will be available this year. " Jobs said with confidence.
Originally, it would take two years to go public. However, the emergence of Qin Feng injected capital into apple in advance, which enabled jobs to obtain absolute support and sufficient funds in advance.
In this way, many of jobs'' great ideals can be realized in advance.
Although in terms of hardware, it is indeed a hard injury.
But in terms of hardware, in fact, the development in the past two years has also broken Moore''s law.
This is also because of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng''s Godson and Huaxia chip have made Intel a strong and powerful competitor.
In particular, Qin Feng introduced the design concept of GPU on the graphics card, which made Intel feel the crisis. Let Intel take out this artifact in advance.
Although, in terms of performance, the dragon core of Qinfeng is fully suspended. Including AMD, the city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond.
However, Qin Feng has come up with the strategy of joint operation of CPU and graphics card, so that the overall performance is still not as good as Intel, but the cost performance is far better than Intel.
This also leads to the rapid development of today''s IT technology, which far exceeds the original normal speed.
Of course, this also comes from manufacturers such as Intel, which already have more advanced scientific and technological products. However, in order to make more profits and completely squeeze the full value of a generation of products, we deliberately suppress the progress of science and technology.
These are all because of Qin Feng, which forced giants like Intel to suspend their toothpaste squeezing strategy.
Therefore, all the hardware technology required for the iPod is actually mature now. There is no problem for jobs to build it within this year.
If Qin Feng did not disturb the situation and let Intel and many hardware manufacturers update their technology in advance, the iPod would not be available until two or three years later.
