Chapter 322 Tune the Tiger from the Mountain

"Europe!" Lin Feng stared at Jobs closely like a goshawk, spit out two words that shocked Jobs.

Many reporters naturally saw that Lin Feng was declaring war on Jobs. While disdainful of Lin Feng in his heart, he also recorded it, thinking about the title of tomorrow in his mind. The two companies hit the European market from the US market, which is exciting to think about. There are so many things for their reporters to use.

Damn, how could he go to Europe! —Jobs said angrily. "Apple" currently does not have much "ipod" inventory. Most of the "ipods" are sold in the United States. According to Jobs' plan, "ipods" will enter the European market before Christmas in December to seize the Christmas market. But now Lin Feng has landed in Europe ahead of schedule, which makes Jobs' plans have to be advanced, but "Apple" has no excess inventory.

damn it! —Jobs whispered secretly. This time, Lin Feng just pinched the "Apple" lifeline.

Lin Feng didn't know that the "ipod" inventory was low, but the US market had failed. In the short term, Lin Feng did not think of a good strategy, and Lin Feng could only seize the third-party market. The European market is naturally Linfeng's first choice.

"Stephen, see you in Europe!" Lin Feng finished speaking, turned and left.

Jobs looked gloomy. Although many reporters were a little dissatisfied with Lin Feng's arrogance, the boss Steve Jobs didn't say much. As reporters, they would not be able to take mice, but they recorded all this in their pen. The newspaper will have a headline tomorrow. .

The loser Lin Feng challenges "Apple" again-see you in Europe! .

After Lin Feng left, many reporters on the scene naturally gathered around Jobs and asked if Jobs would challenge him and whether the "ipod" would enter the European market. The European market competed against Lin Feng's "Phantom" again.

The enthusiasm of many reporters for Lin Feng and Jobs's grievances made the press conference that should have been the second generation of "ipod" become a press conference for Lin Feng to declare war on "Apple" again. No reporter cared about the second generation of "ipod" products at all. , As for Britney Spears, who was supposed to be the protagonist, it was even ignored. This made her very self-esteem extremely angry.

"Stephen, my new album is about to be released. I will go to Europe to promote the album, and then I will help you promote the ‘ipod’." Britney Spears suddenly stepped down and said indignantly.

Everyone was surprised, and then ecstatic. The words of Britney Spears undoubtedly represent that she will challenge. This is bigger news. Especially when Britney spoke with his angry face, he was obviously anxious to Lin Feng. But it should be the first time that Britney and Lin Feng have met. Why is she so angry with Lin Feng? This is another news hotspot that can be tapped.

However, Britney Spears’s confrontation has excited many reporters, but there is a prerequisite for this "war" to start-Jobs must accept Lin Feng's declaration of war. If the "ipod" does not enter the European market, there will undoubtedly be no news points. Without Steve Jobs's fight, it is ridiculous to just hype up the grievances between Britney Spears and Lin Feng, and the people will not be too interested in it. They can't do it if they want to.

Many reporters couldn't help but look at Jobs together.

Britney Spears's declaration was unexpected by Jobs. Although I don't know why Britney Spears was so strong for "Apple", it was a good thing for Jobs. If Lam Fung wants to seize the European market, the "ipod" has to fight, otherwise the European market will definitely be stolen by Lam Fung's "Phantom".

In the US market, the reason why the "ipod" failed to defeat the "Phantom" was ultimately not sold. In addition to Jobs's propaganda methods, there is one other thing that is extremely critical-preconceptions.

Two mp3 players with almost the same appearance. The "ipod" has a local advantage. Naturally, the "Phantom" has entered the US domestic market early. When the "Phantom" enters again, American consumers have accepted the "ipod", but the "Phantom" naturally does not. What market is there.

Now the European market is the same, whoever goes first has the advantage.

Jobs now has to fight, although the inventory is not large, but only need to adjust the strategy appropriately. For the time being, we will compete with Lam Fung in the European market. The US market can be temporarily put aside, and this time Branichon’s trip to Europe to help propaganda will undoubtedly help the "ipod" seize the European market.

Although Jobs did not respond to Lin Feng’s declaration of war in front of many reporters, many reporters have already seen from his expressions that Jobs accepted Lin Feng’s declaration of war. There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. They will definitely not worry about sales this time, and they will definitely let them tomorrow. All Americans are excited.

Outside the "Apple" company, Tan Zhi was waiting in the car. Originally, he proposed to go with Lin Feng, so that he could help Lin Feng with some problems. Lin Feng is now the boss of the company. He is only the CEO. No matter how difficult it is to answer a question, Tan Zhi's bachelor admits defeat, but Lin Feng can't admit defeat. It is not only a matter of the company's face, but also whether the "Phantom" can rise in the US market in the future.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng asked him to wait outside. This made Tan Zhi feel extremely entangled in his heart, not knowing how much Lin Feng would be ridiculed in.

In the entanglement, Lin Feng came out with a smile on his face.

"Boss, inside..." Tan Zhi wanted to ask, but didn't know how to speak. Although Lin Feng smiled, who knows whether Lin Feng forced a smile.

"Hehe, rest assured, I'm fine. I went in just to declare war!" Lin Feng smiled and patted Tan Zhi on the shoulder.

"Declare war?" Tan Zhi was taken aback.

"Yes, I told Jobs that I would give up the American market and plan to enter the European market." Lin Feng looked at the night sky and exhaled.

Tan Zhi looked stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to enter the US market for a while before he announced that he would abandon the American market and enter the European market. He also declared war on Steve Jobs. This is really amazing! Tan Zhi suddenly felt that he seemed to be really old and couldn't keep up with Lin Feng's rhythm. Although, he is only 46 years old this year, still very young.

But Tan Zhi had to admire that Lin Feng's courage was really great. If it was him, even if he really decided to abandon the American market and enter the European market, he would not tell Jobs. Perhaps this is also the reason why he can only serve as the ceo and cannot start his own company. He is not big enough, not bold enough. Fortunately, Lin Feng owns all of this, and he only needs to do his essential work.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. Choosing to abandon the US market this time is also compelling. Now Jobs has been hitting the "Phantom" one after another. Now the "Phantom" wants to gain a foothold in the United States, and it is far more difficult than Lin Feng imagined. In that case, why not temporarily abandon this market and seize other markets. As for declaring war against Jobs, Lin Feng didn't have to be like that. However, Lin Feng was not convinced, the "Phantom" was by no means as bad as his current performance, and even one could not be sold. In order to save face and prove the "Phantom", Lin Feng must declare war on Jobs.

Otherwise, in the future, "Apple" will fight the "Phantom" with the record of zero sales of "Phantom" in the US market. Based on consumer psychology, it will definitely abandon the "Phantom" and choose "ipod". Then, it will not be able to enter the US market and seize Europe. The market, even the Asian market, is difficult to keep.

At the same time, Lin Feng also has another meaning. Lam Fung wants to turn Jobs' attention to Europe, and he will not only defeat Jobs in the European market, but also defeat Jobs in the American market. Although Lin Feng said that he had given up the American market, he did not really give up.

Taking a step back does not mean that I give up; letting go does not mean that I give up. All this is just a slowing strategy of Lin Feng, a strategy of retreating for progress.

"Okay, President Lin, let's go to the European market to find the humiliation of the American market failure." Tan Zhi nodded and said with determination.

"No, Mr. Tan, if you stay, I will go to Europe by myself." Lin Feng shook his head and said.

Tan Zhi was taken aback.

"Mr. Tan, I haven't decided to really give up the American market." Lin Feng smiled strangely.

Tan Zhi was really confused, with a dazed expression on his face.

"Haha, Mr. Tan, the memory capacity of our'Phantom' cannot be solved temporarily by hardware, but it can be solved by software," Lin Feng said.

Solved in software? -Tan Zhi was taken aback, waiting for Lin Feng to follow.

"Mr. Tan, Microsoft just launched the windows-xp system, which not only forced the majority of computer players to upgrade, but also introduced a new audio format-wma." Lin Feng said.

This morning when Lin Feng was bored and went to an Internet cafe in the United States, he realized that the operating system of the computer here had been updated to the windows-xp system, which reminded Lin Feng of the upcoming wma audio format from Microsoft.

wma (windows-media-audio), it is a new audio format with the same name as the mp3 format launched by Microsoft. Microsoft claims: The same file is twice as small as mp3 and the sound quality remains unchanged. Of course, this is as ridiculous as Microsoft's announcement that its operating system will not be blue screen. But one thing is the truth. In the audition of 128kbps and below stream, wma completely surpassed the mp3 format. The king of low stream is not in vain. But when the code stream rises to 128kbp, the sound quality of wma has not been greatly improved with the increase of the code stream like mp3.

Tan Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing Lin Feng's explanation. The 128kbps data rate is enough to meet the needs of most people. If the software can solve the problem and double the capacity, it will be a great good thing for the "Phantom". At the beginning of next year, when 128m flash memory becomes popular, "Phantom" can have a capacity of 256m using wma format. Although it is still far inferior to the 4g capacity of the second generation of "ipod", it is enough for normal applications.

"So, Mr. Tan, you have to stay in the United States and negotiate a wma audio format license agreement with Microsoft. If possible, we can buy its copyright at a high price." Lin Feng said.
