Chapter 1564: Weak and Weak
Michael Jackson only obtained the digital copyright of some of the music copyrights he owned, which was far from enough for Qin Feng.
However, at present, the five major record companies look down on this area. They are obsessed with old ideas and are unwilling to break away from the traditional sales model and switch to the online sales model.
Digital rights such as The Beatles alone cannot attract enough fans to support them.
If the iPod were launched now, I'm afraid it would be a disaster.
This is what Qin Feng suddenly realized.
Because you don't have the copyright of the five major record companies, you can't download genuine music. At that time, if users use pirated versions, then as a hardware company, it will be hard to escape the blame.
This is not like Sony's Walkman, which uses CDs. The CD has genuine material. This also does not require any label authorization. After you buy a Walkman, you can go to the record company to buy genuine CDs.
As for whether users buy pirated CDs or genuine CDs, that is the user's own behavior. This has nothing to do with Sony.
If your record company discovers that users are using pirated CDs, it can't be blamed on Sony.
However, if Apple launches iPod now without authorization from the five major record companies, it means that consumers can only download pirated MP3s. This also means that you, Apple, are condoning consumers downloading pirated MP3s.
By then, a lawsuit will have to be filed.
In China, that is nothing. Won't get into any trouble. But for the West, it is a real big trouble.
Could it be that Jobs was aware of this and therefore allowed himself to deal with this troublesome matter.
As for why Apple has not encountered such trouble in "history"?
That's because the iPod was launched three years later. In three years, the Internet has changed beyond recognition. Many people now are not aware of the innovation of the Internet. Not even Microsoft realized it.
Three years later, things were different. Everyone knows that the 21st century is the era of the Internet.
This is the limitation of the times.
As for Apple, because of his arrival, Jobs had absolute control over Apple in advance, and some of his innovative thinking began to shine.
The iPod came out three years early, so there was a big problem.
If it is an iPhone, even if it is 10 years in advance, it will be no problem.
Unfortunately, the iPod is not the iPhone.
No wonder Lisa felt like she was getting the short end of the stick. It seems that she is also aware of this. That’s why I went to Apple to negotiate with Steve Jobs.
At the moment, at Apple.
Lisa came online on behalf of Lisa and started a negotiation with Jobs.
"This time, we have to negotiate digital music rights with the five major record companies. This is an extremely difficult matter. And if we can't negotiate, then even if your iPod is produced, it will be just a pile of waste and cannot be used at all. Listed for sale. Therefore, the 7% share is extremely unreasonable. You are squeezing." Lisa said without mercy, "So, we require a more reasonable profit share."
Jobs stared at Lisa with cannibalistic intentions.
This is her own daughter, and as a result, fighting her father for a man is simply treason.
"How much do you want?" Jobs snorted.
"70%!" Lisa said loudly.
"Are you crazy! Who do you think you are!" Jobs slammed the table and roared.
How dare you ask for 70%.
"It's not much. Without us discussing this copyright, your iPod is useless. What you spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create is useless." Lisa said bluntly, "As long as there is no authorization from the five major record companies, Then you won't be able to sell. This will be extremely unstable for your current position. Don't forget, the company directors asked you to come back to lead Apple out of trouble. But your first innovative product,
How do you think those shareholders would feel about the failure? "
asshole! This damn bastard... Jobs yelled.
This negotiation is simply out of the question.
Lisa used the information she obtained at Apple to negotiate with him now to get better treatment for Qin Feng. This is simply shameless.
"You are my daughter and a director of Apple!" Jobs roared.
This roar made the entire Apple company tremble.
At Apple, when Jobs started ranting, the entire company fell silent. There was no other voice but his.
He is such a tyrant. A tyrant who is feared but loved.
This sounds very conflicting, but in fact it is not conflicting at all.
Tyrants are certainly disgusting, even annoying. However, if the tyrant can bring you benefits, then you will not hate the tyrant.
People are very realistic, as long as it can bring benefits to themselves, that's fine. The rest can be tolerated.
In this regard, Huo Qubing existed in ancient China. The young general was very inconsiderate to the soldiers, but as long as there was a war, the soldiers were willing to follow General Huo Qubing.
Why? Be able to successfully establish a career, be able to win battles, be able to save your life, and be able to receive sufficient rewards. Then there is nothing wrong with him for not being considerate to the soldiers.
So did Steve Jobs.
Apple's glory comes from Steve Jobs. Without Jobs, Apple declined and almost went bankrupt. In this case, bring them back. We are willing to give him everything.
"But I am representing Lisa Online now." Lisa looked calm.
Facing her father, Lisa has always been afraid in the past. Once Jobs showed an unhappy look on his face, Lisa would feel frightened and ask herself whether she had done something wrong.
But now, it's different. She and Jobs were on an equal footing, sitting at the negotiating table and negotiating on equal terms.
This made her happy.
"So, Steve, don't think that just because you are my father, you can take advantage of my company. This profit distribution must not be based on the previous distribution." Lisa looked calm.
The ensuing negotiations were filled with roaring noises.
At this moment, Qin Feng also said goodbye after signing a contract with Michael Jackson.
Now we have only reached a preliminary cooperation intention. It cannot meet Qin Feng's needs.
Therefore, Qin Feng is still thinking about who to sign?
Who else is coming up soon?
Justin Bieber? Qin Feng thought for a while and forget it.
This one is only 4 years old this year. That's not possible.
Who to sign? Which one might pop up immediately in the future?
Avril Lavigne? Qin Feng figured it out, it was still early. I'm only 14 years old this year, so it's too early.
Her music style and other aspects are immature. It's really not possible to go find her by yourself.
Beyoncé?
This doesn't seem to work either. She is signed to Sony Records and has already made her debut. Although, it is not the Beyoncé later. But poaching people by yourself is not an option.
You can't rely on Britney alone! This one is a bit weak.
