Chapter 1543: Petrification
"Do they agree?" Lisa wondered.
Isn’t this a share of the pie from them?
"Qin Feng!" Jobs groaned.
He really didn't want to explain the relationship to his stupid daughter.
This is so stupid.
Why don’t you have any economic sense?
"We are not taking a piece of the pie from these record companies. On the contrary, we are helping them open up the market. Many people rarely go to record stores specifically. In other words, if they go there occasionally, it is difficult to make up their mind. After all, buying a record is very expensive. Therefore, this has also led to rampant piracy in the market." Qin Feng explained, "Also, sometimes, we just like a song, but you want me to buy a record, this, It’s such a bad deal.”
"So, if we launch an MP3 download service, then consumers can download it according to their personal preferences. For record companies, it seems that they have lost an opportunity to sell a record, but they have gained more consumers. The live event For most singers, selling a million copies of a record is something worthy of special mention. And those who sell tens of millions of copies are undoubtedly divine songs that can win Grammy awards. However, if On the Internet, it is normal for a song to sell hundreds of millions of copies." Qin Feng said, "Not only that, this will also give those singers who are not very famous a chance."
Lisa nodded. She got it.
"Then what are we going to do? Design the shape of this MP3 player?" Lisa asked.
Jobs did not look at Lisa, but at Qin Feng. He wanted to know whether Qin Feng understood what he meant.
Qin Feng didn't understand at first. But Jobs's attitude of being too lazy to pay attention to his daughter made Qin Feng understand that Jobs was definitely not looking for the two of them to inquire about the appearance plan.
In this regard, Jobs would never care about their attitudes. He has his own plan. In fact, Jobs's aesthetics have always been praised by the industry.
Even some competitors praised Jobs' aesthetics.
In this regard, how could he possibly find the two of them?
"I think we should build an online song sales platform." Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "Online mall system."
"Smart!" Jobs nodded with a smile. "I will solve the hardware aspect, and you will solve the software platform aspect. Isn't your Lisa Online very good? It has become the largest online game sales platform at the moment. Just build it for me." An online mall. Provide online mall services to all Apple users. However, it cannot be as artistic as your Lisa Online. It must be simple, efficient, beautiful, elegant, and full of artistic flavor."
Qin Feng rolled his eyes.
This, you are asking for too much. However, Qin Feng doesn't have to worry about whether it's difficult or not.
This is definitely going to be difficult. It must be difficult to meet Steve Jobs's needs in art. This guy has a mysophobia when it comes to artistic pursuits.
However, with Lisa here, the art aspect is left to Lisa to handle. You are only responsible for handling the code.
"What kind of cooperation is that?" Qin Feng asked.
This aspect needs to be made clear.
You can't work in vain. I don’t get a penny from Apple.
Although Qin Feng has shares, Qin Feng has no position and is just a major shareholder, the kind who only pays and does not work.
"That's easy to say." Jobs said with a smile, "We outsource R&D to Lisa Online. The R&D fee is US$1 million. Then, you will enjoy a 5% profit share in the follow-up."
"Too stingy." Qin Feng rolled his eyes, "This is your daughter's company.
As for being so stingy? R&D fee of US$5 million, plus 10% fee. "Qin Feng groaned.
"Get out of here! Do you think our company is a big landowner?" Jobs turned against him directly. "The maximum research and development fee is 1.5 million US dollars. As for the profit sharing, the maximum is 7%. If I hadn't taken care of my daughter, my own company would be able to do research and development."
Can Apple develop it?
For now, it really can't be done. Of course, this is mainly because there is currently no department in this area and no experience in this area. And Lisa Online has very mature experience in online sales.
That's what Jobs wanted.
Of course, there is also the idea of taking care of business for his daughter. However, Jobs would never admit it.
"Okay! Deal!" Qin Feng reached an agreement with him.
Afterwards, both parties happily signed the contract.
"Okay, you want to continue the quarrel, but not here. You can go out and get a room and quarrel slowly." After saying that, Jobs kicked the two out.
"This bastard is so inhumane." Qin Feng cursed in a low voice.
"Yes, that's such a bastard." Lisa also muttered.
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Having a common "enemy" gave the two of them many common topics.
"Let's go back and discuss what to do. After all, it's a deal." Qin Feng said with a smile.
Lisa nodded.
Although I didn’t make much money, it was still quite a lot.
Lisa is online and has not many employees.
Because of online sales. Then only two or three customer service personnel are needed to provide services online. Moreover, service is only required after a problem occurs. No problem, no service required. At most, occasionally answer some questions.
Therefore, Lisa Online's main expenses are line rental and server rental. But it won’t cost much in a year.
Therefore, this order of US$1.5 million is considered a large order for Lisa Online.
What's more, there is a 7% profit share from online mall sales.
By the way, what is signed in this contract is the profit sharing of the online mall. It is not specifically marked as a share of digital music sales. I wonder if this is an oversight on the part of Jobs. But, in the future, that will be a huge amount of income.
You know, in the future, Apple's online mall system will generate tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. This 7% is US$700 million.
Tsk tsk tsk, in this future, Lisa will make money while lying down online.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng smiled.
It's not easy to take advantage of Steve Jobs.
It took three days for Qin Feng and Lisa to reach a preliminary plan. Under contract, of course. After having a plan, Jobs needs to review it. Because he wants to determine whether the framework of this online mall meets his artistic standards.
You know, he is a very picky person.
But this time, after reading it, Jobs didn't say much.
"Sony seems to be interested in this too, so you have to act quickly. By the way, you can contact the major record companies and sign the online sales agreement. Remember, Sony is also interested, so act quickly!" Jobs Another task was thrown in.
Qin Feng was stunned. This is not my task.
"Otherwise, do you think that 7% of the online mall's profits are easy to get?" Jobs chuckled, "Do you really think I'm stupid? There's such a big loophole. Go and do the work!"
Qin Feng was petrified.
This old bastard!
