Chapter 1544 You Can Do It Yourself
Qin Feng was very depressed.
This Howard Stringer has been talking to himself about his Daqin car. Qin Feng wanted to bring the topic back to records several times, but was always distracted.
This made Qin Feng very depressed.
Finally, after sitting for thirty minutes, Qin Feng couldn't bear it anymore.
"President Stringer, I am here to talk to you about the copyright issue of online sales of digital music. I am not talking about cars. And Sony does not produce cars." Qin Feng had to be very serious. interrupted Howard Stringer's discussion about his Daqin car.
"I know you want to talk about online digital music rights. Before coming to Sony, you went to Warner, BMG, EMI, and Universal. And they all rejected you." Howard Stringer said with a smile. , "So why did we agree? Especially, we can build our own online sales system."
Qin Feng was speechless. This is what I worry about.
Sony has its own Walkman and can launch such a system, so why cooperate with Sony? Make yourself money?
"Excuse me!" Qin Feng stood up.
Howard Stringer smiled and asked his secretary to send Qin Feng away.
For Qin Feng, he is only interested in Qin Feng's cars. As for the online digital music copyright, Sony can do it by itself.
There is no need to cooperate with Qin Feng at all.
Because of this, if he doesn't talk about cars with Qin Feng, what else can he talk about?
Not staying behind closed doors is already giving Qin Feng face.
After Qin Feng left, an old man in his sixties came over.
"That person just now was Qin Feng?" the old man asked.
Howard Stringer stood up quickly with a respectful look on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Dahe, the one who just arrived is Qin Feng." Howard Stringer said respectfully, "He came to us to discuss online digital copyright. But I refused. We can do it ourselves."
The old man is none other than Norio Ohga, who is known as the father of CD and is also the president of Sony America.
Howard Stringer is the president of Sony Records. Norio Ohga is the president of Sony America.
Responsible for all Sony affairs in the United States.
Of course, he is also a Sony legend.
Norio Ohga is known as Sony's designer. Because of Norio Ohga's leadership, Sony has grown from a local company based in Japan to a first-class international company.
"Then have you done it?" Norio Ohga asked.
Howard Stringer shook his head.
"Although the MP3 format is already popular on computers, most of them are pirated. If we do it ourselves, it will easily make piracy popular. What's more, selling a song separately is harmful to singers and record companies. Including the interests of those record stores. So, we did not do it. Not only did we not do it, but the other four major record companies also rejected it." Howard Stringer said.
Norio Ohga nodded slowly.
However, he felt that perhaps this matter should be more radical.
After all, times are evolving. The Internet era has entered people's lives.
Today, more and more people are spending more time on the Internet.
Perhaps, online digital music has a future.
However, thinking of the interests involved in this aspect, Norio Ohga said nothing more.
After all, as the president of a company, you need to consider the interests of all aspects.
Online digital music sales,
Maybe it can bring in some extra income. However, if it infringes on existing interest groups, it may cause big trouble. Therefore, caution must be exercised in this matter.
At this moment, Qin Feng went back helplessly.
"What's wrong? Isn't it going well?" Lisa saw Qin Feng's dejected expression and poured Qin Feng a cup of coffee.
"We were rejected by the five major record companies." Qin Feng said helplessly, "They had no such plan at all."
"I guessed it too." Lisa shrugged and gave Qin Feng a hug. "After all, they can't give up their vested interests. And digital music will infringe on their current interests. As for the future of digital music, who can see it? It’s accurate!”
"But if there is no digital music copyright, then developing iPod will be very troublesome." Qin Feng said with a frown.
"It's okay. I've searched in the past few days and found that almost all songs are in MP3 format and can be downloaded on the Internet. By then, we will sell the hardware. If users download MP3 by themselves, that will be their business." Li Sa said, "These record companies are short-sighted and will regret it later."
"I'm afraid this will involve legal issues." Qin Feng frowned.
"No. I have consulted. As long as our company does not give any guidance or implicit suggestions to any users, then the users' behavior is their own behavior and has nothing to do with the company. The record company has no intention of suing us. Use it." Lisa said, "We just sell software."
Qin Feng curled his lips. That's not impossible. But that would reduce it to a mere hardware company.
That's not what Qin Feng wants, and it's not what Jobs wants.
"By the way, aren't you a piano master, and you can write songs. You can write a few songs, then sign some singers, make them famous, and let them sell on the Internet. In that way, it may be possible to promote changes in these record companies. " Lisa said.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up.
This is a way.
The five major record companies look down on this profit and their own ideas. But, you can do it yourself. At some point, they will regret it.
Especially, he can compose music. I can't let my talent in this area go to waste.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng felt that there seemed to be a solution.
"However, that still requires Steve Jobs to get the iPod out in advance." Qin Feng said.
"Soon." Lisa said, "I heard that the laboratory has already produced a model. It is undergoing more artistic processing to make it more artistic and practical. Maybe it will be out soon. Otherwise, My dad wouldn’t let us design this either.”
"Then I have to speed up the pace." Qin Feng regained his confidence at this moment, "When the time comes, I want to see if these record companies will regret it."
"Hehe, they will definitely regret rejecting a piano master's suggestion." Lisa said with a smile.
Didn't these record companies notice Qin Feng's identity?
Naturally noticed. However, this is still not the reason why they will change their existing interest model.
If things change in later generations, that's because of the general trend. After entering the 21st century, everything is different. This forces the five major record companies to change and adapt to the situation. But now, it's still early.
Three years is not long, but it is a three years of rapid progress.
Now, they will not change.
However, Qin Feng will make them change.
