Vol 3 Chapter 194: Real Cow (Part 1)

At this time, Feng Yiping doesn’t know what his father is thinking. If he knows that his parents are at ease and worried about his sister, he would be a little embarrassed, because he and Huang Jingping have secretly prepared a big surprise for them, or also It can be said to be a big shock.

But there is no way, who said that we have always given everyone a good impression!

On the 24th, the 74th Oscars ceremony ended at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. This should be a very special Oscar. The best actor and actress are all black, the actor is Denzel Washington, and the queen is Black Pearl. Libery.

The cartoon "Monster Company" produced by Pixar, which Jobs invested in, won the best movie song award.

This seems quite appropriate, and I don’t know what Steve Jobs made in Hollywood. Soon after he returned to Cupertino from Los Angeles, several major record companies formed a huge team, and they were about to come to Apple to negotiate.

"They are scared, they can't help it, so they can only come to me,"

Through the phone, Feng Yiping could hear Jobs' pride.

These record companies are really scared.

It’s not that those who do art business don’t know how to embrace the times. They are also actively following the trend and launching their own online music business. However, all they provide are subscription services. After the subscription expires, they cannot continue to use it. .

It is conceivable that they will not provide download services. In order to prevent this phenomenon, many restrictions have been imposed on the website, and the interface is naturally not friendly enough.

In short, it is indeed worse for those who play art to play high-tech. These online music services are very poor. To make an inappropriate metaphor, just like the websites of many government agencies later, they are purely for construction. Construction.

However, when Apple gracefully appeared in front of everyone, it quickly became a trend. Like other mp3 players, it allows you to have no computer or network at any time. Any place, just listen to it.

More importantly, this hot-selling player can store thousands of songs.

Thousands of songs, that is the sum of the songs contained in hundreds of music albums. It’s okay to buy one or two occasionally, hundreds of music albums, even the wealthy American people, who can afford the money and are willing to pay the money, are also rare and rare. They will definitely choose to download them for free. In this way, maybe they won't buy an album in the future, for the music industry. This is a greater threat than those music sharing sites.

Because if this continues, it will lead to more free music sharing sites.

"You are an advocate of this idea, so Feng, can you come to this meeting?" Jobs asked.

"Good Steve, I will come to the company tomorrow to discuss the details with you."

…………

On this day, in front of Apple's headquarters, a long stretch of long-haul truck drove up, the entertainment industry. Always pay attention to pomp-it seems that those car rental companies in San Francisco should have a good business today.

The executives and representatives of the five major record companies looked at the revitalized old technology company in front of them, and some looked calm, some looked calm. It's hard to hide the unhappiness in my heart. It is obvious that Apple has seriously infringed on their rights, but they have to take the initiative to come to the door. This is really not a pleasant thing.

They looked at the Apple logo, at Apple's office building, and at the proud Apple employees. Can't help but look disgusted.

"Gentlemen," Paul Vidic of Warner clapped his hands, "Go, let's find a way out,"

In the conference room provided by Apple, after the delegation discussed the main topics of the meeting, two glasses of water were drunk. Ten minutes have passed since the agreed time, but the owner Jobs still disappeared.

A female member of the delegation sitting at the door asked the Apple staff who was in charge of the reception outside the door, "Where is Mr. Jobs?"

After Jobs returned, Apple's pride was from top to bottom. The staff responded casually and stylized, "I'm sorry, he has a very important business at present,"

These people here are not celebrities, but they are the bosses of celebrities. Under normal circumstances, who can stand such anger? But under the eaves, people have to bow their heads. Today, they can only suffer, but their breathing is unavoidable.

Jobs has something, but it seems that there is no important thing to talk about. On the way to the meeting room, he took Feng Yiping into the next-generation project team, and discussed with the designers enthusiastically, "Widescreen display Is the ratio set? What does the display manufacturer say, will the cost increase?"

An engineer walked over with two models, "According to the golden ratio, we have set two specifications, 16:9 and 16:10,"

Jobs took a gesture before his eyes, "It feels good, but which one of the final specifications needs to be considered in many aspects, and the cost?"

A man with glasses said happily, “Feng’s idea is very good! We contacted the manufacturer, and according to their response, because it is the closest to the golden ratio, when the production is divided, the utilization rate is higher than the previous square screen, which is wasteful. The leftovers are the least, so the cost has been reduced.”

Jobs leaned on the table, smiling like a child, "Feng, good job!"

"Thank you," Feng Yiping said, "I believe there must be many computer users who are also aware of this problem, but they have no chance to talk to you."

"Haha, Eastern modesty," Jobs said, pointing to Feng Yiping, "Feng is right. When we design products in the future, we must listen more to users."

"Then the material, what better choice?"

He seemed to have completely forgotten that it was time for the meeting, and the people who followed did not remind him, but he obviously did not forget. After discussing for a while, he checked the time and said, "Go, go to the meeting with those people,"

Feng Yiping followed him and watched him stride into the meeting room. He did not explain the reason for being late, nor did he shake hands or say welcome. He just nodded to the executives who were sitting at the table and sat straight. At the head of the conference table, "I'm here, what do you want to say?"

This posture! Feng Yiping felt that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Jobs treated these people who came to the door, as if he had not treated the mediocre people in the company he looked down on.

You must know that these people sitting in the front row are representatives of the five major record companies, such as Warner, Sony, and BMG. The company's strength and popularity are also quite good.

Oh, by the way, his first pot of gold was dug from several of the subsidiaries within it. Feng Yiping wanted to hold the hands of a few of them and say, "Look up for a long time!"

The few people in the front are okay. How do you say they are self-reliant, but Jobs’s words are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. Some people sitting in the back can’t help but utter condemnation. Why should high-tech companies that pay attention to intellectual property rights encourage consumers to pirate musicians' works?"

Steve Jobs put his left hand behind the swivel chair, his right hand held a pen and tapped on the table. After listening for a while, he lost the pen and said impatiently, "Stop, I'm here, not listening to your complaints. Yes, what we should do, we know very well, and you don’t need to say, what about you? Do you know what to do and how to do it? I said, have you ever thought about it all these years?"

Feng Yiping has gained insights, and he really deserves his reputation. He is a real cow! (To be continued.)
