Chapter 323 Secret Weapon

Although Lin Feng hopes to buy the copyright of the "wma audio format", he doesn't have high hopes for whether he can.

"Microsoft" has always been smart. When MP3 was popular, it developed the "wma audio format", which is enough to prove its ambition, but you can try it. If you can't buy it, at most everyone can cooperate. Lin Feng believes that "Microsoft" will never give up.

If he can win over this software empire as a partner, Lin Feng believes that "Phantom" will be able to avenge its disgrace in the United States.

However, "Microsoft" has always had a huge appetite. How high will its conditions be?

Tan Zhi nodded, but if it does not get authorization from the Recording Association of America, "Phantom" will still not be able to open the market in the United States. This WMA audio format is indeed very helpful for other markets, but it still cannot solve the key problem for the US market.

Lin Feng has no choice but to deal with this issue. The damn president of the Recording Industry Association of America and Steve Jobs are close friends. In order to help Jobs, he has refused to agree to license "Phantom". Regarding this issue, even if Lin Feng takes legal action, it will be useless.

This is not a monopoly. If the Recording Association refuses to authorize it, no one can interfere.

Damn the Recording Industry Association of America! - Lin Feng cursed a few times secretly, and suddenly an idea struck him.

"Mr. Tan, if the Recording Industry Association of America refuses to authorize us, we can ask the International Phonographic Association. As long as the International Phonographic Association authorizes it, we can provide downloads." Lin Feng said cunningly.

When Tan Zhi heard it, he slapped his thighs continuously, and Liandao had a great idea. As long as the International Recording Association agrees, it is useless no matter how much the Recording Industry Association of America opposes it. Besides, providing downloads by itself can also bring profits to all record companies, so they have no reason to refuse.

.

"Boss, why don't we also sign an exclusive licensing agreement with the International Recording Association?" Tan Zhi suffered a big loss from the Recording Industry Association of America this time. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to take revenge on Jobs and vent his anger.

Lin Feng was quite interested at first. If he could join Apple in this effort, it would undoubtedly be of great help to Phantom in seizing the European market. And thinking of Steve Jobs's expression after hearing about the International Phonographic Association's vacation licensing agreement, he must have been very excited.

It was also extremely interesting. But after thinking about it, Lin Feng sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Tan, I think so too, but unfortunately the International Phonographic Association will not agree." Lin Feng said helplessly.

"Perhaps if we give them enough profit, they may not agree to this kind of thing." Tan Zhi is really unwilling to give up, and everything in this world is profit-oriented. As long as he can give them enough profit to make them tempted, he may not not be able to try.

.

"Oh, it's impossible. The U.S. government won't agree." Lin Feng said helplessly.

When Tan Zhi heard this, he immediately became depressed. Indeed, the U.S. government will not tolerate such idleness in its own companies, and will definitely put pressure on the International Phonographic Association, and the International Phonographic Association will definitely compromise by then. You can't blame anyone else for this, but only the

You can blame the United States for being too powerful, while your motherland is still weak. But Tan Zhi is really unwilling to give in.

Tan Zhi clenched his fists. He was really unwilling to accept this defeat. Jobs had already calculated everything and was waiting for him to jump in. Although the defeat was undisputed, Tan Zhi was still unwilling to accept it.

"Haha, Mr. Tan, don't worry, we will definitely avenge this revenge. This time I will drag Steve Jobs to Europe, wait until we get the WMA audio license, and then get the IFPA license, then we will kill Jobs and get back to him, then

At that time, I thought his face must be very wonderful!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Tan Zhi also nodded, and the two laughed loudly thinking about Jobs's face in the future.

The next day, the headlines in all newspapers were undoubtedly Lin Feng's declaration of war on Steve Jobs.

The Washington Times, which strongly criticized Lin Feng last time because of his investment in the filming of "Prison Break", seems to be determined to go against Lin Feng. This time, it used the title "Chinese Boy Challenges American Giant" to criticize the incident.

Report.

In the United States, the word "boy" has a somewhat contemptuous meaning, and when coupled with the word "American giant", it is undoubtedly full of contempt for Lin Feng. The entire article criticizes Lin Feng's arrogance, ignorance and self-righteousness, and is constantly ridiculing.

Lin Feng's "Phantom" set a record of zero sales in the United States. This time he ran to Europe in despair to "pick up" a bargain. He also shamelessly provoked the "Apple" company and described Lin Feng as an arrogant, ignorant and

Shameless. He even asserted that "Phantom" will definitely be defeated by "ipod" again in Europe.

The most outrageous thing is that the Washington Times claimed in the newspaper that Lin Feng looked down on the American national idol Britney Spears, saying that during the entire "ipod second generation" new product display, Lin Feng was dissatisfied with Britney Spears from beginning to end.

Blaney was dismissive and extremely contemptuous.

This irresponsible report directly made Lin Feng a public enemy of the United States again. Fans of Britney Spears even threatened to tell Lin Feng to get out of the United States. Regarding this irresponsible report, Tan Zhi proposed that Lin Feng should be asked to leave the United States.

Feng went to court, and Ron Law Firm also called to ask if Lin Feng needed their legal services and promised to get the Washington Times to publish an apology statement on the front page.

However, Lin Feng thought about it but gave up. This kind of lawsuit is impossible to win, and now that Britney Spears is officially popular in the United States, Lin Feng does not want to get into trouble now. After all, fans are crazy about Lin Feng.

I have a deep understanding of it. Otherwise, "Audition: All-Star Cast" would not have set a record of earning 100 million a night.

As for having the "Washington Times" publicly apologize on the front page, Lin Feng is quite moved. But not now, but in the future. When the "Phantom" defeats the "ipod", it will be the best time for the "Washington Times" to apologize.

The Washington Post, with its inherent rigor, carefully analyzed the pros and cons of Lin Feng's "Phantom" and "Apple's" iPod. Frankly speaking, both have their own pros and cons, and it is difficult to say who will win in the European market.

advantages. But in the end, the Washington Post still sided with Jobs, saying frankly that although the products of the two companies have their own advantages and disadvantages, one has an advantage in price and the other has an advantage in capacity, it is difficult to decide the winner, and each will occupy its own territory.

market. However, the emergence of Britney Spears is the biggest change. The Washington Post admitted that with Britney Spears’ current global influence, Apple’s “ipod” will definitely win.

.

As for Jessica Alba, the spokesperson for "Phantom", "The Washington Post" admitted that Jessica is indeed sexy and beautiful, but her global popularity cannot be compared with that of Britney Spears."

"Phantom" wants to rely on Jessica to defeat Britney Spears, which is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Lin Feng smiled disdainfully at the conclusion of the "Washington Post". If you don't think so highly of yourself, just wait and see!

As for other newspapers in the United States, their arguments are similar to those of the "Washington Post" and "The Washington Times". They are either blindly biased in favor of Steve Jobs, or they are neutral, but they are also relatively neutral. In short, all American media have unanimously identified this European market

In the war, Steve Jobs's "Apple" will undoubtedly last a lifetime. Even the American gambling group took the opportunity to open a bet: Jobs wins, 2 to 1, Lin Feng wins to 1 to 4. (With "Phantom" and "ipod" in Europe,

Final sales volume theory.

Of course, this is not the case for all media. For example, Lin Feng's own TV station "fsn-houston". The director Terry asked Lin Feng if he would advertise for "Phantom" during the broadcast of "Prison Break". However, Lin Feng was asked by Lin Feng.

Feng vetoed it. Now even if it takes advantage of the amazing popularity of the upcoming "Prison Break", it is useless to advertise "Phantom". Before it obtains the authorization of the WMA audio format and the authorization of the International Phonographic Association, "Phantom" will not have a market in the United States.

.However, this also reminded Lin Feng that "Prison Break" is the biggest bargaining chip in his hand now, and he can use it to make something.

At that moment, Lin Feng called Spielberg and told him that he hoped he could add "Phantom" to the TV series during the filming. Regarding Lin Feng's request, Spielberg assured him and said that he would definitely do it.

A surprise for Lin Feng. Of course, due to cost considerations, the first 8 episodes that have been filmed cannot be added, and "Phantom" can only be added in the next 14 episodes.

After receiving Spielberg's recognition, Lin Feng nodded. This time he already had the best advertising platform. However, Lin Feng was really puzzled by Britney Spears' resentment towards him. He went in by himself that day and watched from beginning to end.

He didn't even say a word to Britney Spears, and he didn't even see her clearly. How could he offend her and make her so angry that she would go to Europe to promote her in revenge? This really puzzled Lin Feng.

But Jobs had Britney Spears, and he also had a secret "weapon." With a smile, Lin Feng came to Manhattan, New York, and arrived at the address Avril gave him.

"Knock, knock, knock" Lin Feng knocked on the door.

But no one answered. Lin Feng called, but his phone was turned off. Thinking of Avril's habit of never turning on the phone when writing songs or recording records, Lin Feng thought about it and decided that he could only wait for Avril to come back.

.

Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't wait long, and Avril came back with excitement on her face.

"Hey, Lin, why are you here?" Avril was slightly startled when she saw Lin Feng, but she turned around and hugged Lin Feng very excitedly. It was obvious at a glance that she was in a very good mood.

"Hey, Avril, what's wrong, you're in such a good mood?" Lin Fengxiao asked.

"Lin, hehe, thanks to you, my record had to be recorded next spring, but the last song has been recorded today." Avril opened the door with excitement on her face and welcomed Lin Feng in.

This is the first time Lin Feng has entered Avril's room, but it is indeed very tidy like all girls' rooms. It's just that Avril's room has many more records and various music scores with recorded lyrics. Of course, Lin Feng's current attention

Not in this, but in Avril's words.

"Avril, you said your record has been recorded?" Lin Feng said in surprise.

Avril was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Feng to be happier than herself, but she was also extremely excited in her heart, nodding her head repeatedly with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Humph, my strength is first-rate. As long as I have time, of course it will be very fast!" Avril boasted, but she burst into laughter after she finished speaking.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, this was the best. Britney was going to release a recent album to cooperate with the sales of "ipod". This time, he asked Avril to also release an album to see who is more powerful. "History"

The two above have not released records at the same time, which is something that most diva-level female singers avoid. Firstly, a direct conflict can easily offend people. Everyone is a diva, which is not good-looking. Secondly, without strong competitors, they can have more records.

Sell ​​a few. But this time, history will be changed again.

Lin Feng sat down and stared at Avril with a serious look on his face.

"Lin, what's wrong?" Avril was affected by Lin Feng. Although she didn't know what happened, she sat down and asked nervously.
