Since Lin Feng declared war in front of many reporters at "apple" headquarters, jobs held an emergency board meeting to unify his thinking. In the near future, "apple" will focus on the European market. After all, the U.S. market is now dominated by "iPods". I''m afraid it will be difficult to enter the Asian market for a while. As for the South American market and the African market, jobs gave up. With so many slums, it''s hard to buy an "iPod".
Therefore, the European market is the top priority. After the board of directors unified their thinking, jobs now began to restrict supplies in the United States and increase the production of "iPods" in preparation for landing in Europe. With the full cooperation of Britney Spears, jobs believes that he will beat Lin Feng again in Europe. It doesn''t matter if you can own North America (mainly the United States) and European markets and have one Asian market.
But jobs suddenly saw Lin Feng''s $10 million game in the newspaper, which really surprised him. In particular, jobs was surprised that Lin Feng dared to bet $10 million that Avril''s record sales would surpass that of brenny. Although this $10 million is nothing to Lin Feng, it takes a lot of courage to bet $10 million. Is he so confident about Avril?
But Avril and blarney''s gamble, for jobs, is just a farce. Blarney''s strength and popularity can''t be matched by a newcomer. He is concerned about how to let the "phantom" of Lin Feng not rush to the European market before the "iPod". Now Lin Feng has 800000 "phantom" in his hands, and less than 100000 "iPods" can be transferred to the European market, which is too big a gap. Moreover, Asia is undoubtedly closer to Europe than the United States.
If Lin Feng''s "phantom" is allowed to land in the European market first, the war has not started, and he has lost half.
Jobs pinched his nose and had a headache. Conveniently picked up an apple from the table, a hard bite. This is the habit of jobs, whenever there is a difficult problem to solve, he will eat apple, which can give him inspiration. At the beginning of the establishment of the company, using "apple" as the company name was also out of his preference for apple.
After thinking about it, jobs called Lin Feng.
Lin Feng is at the end of his acquisition of avenue-a by Goldman Sachs in New York. Unexpectedly, he receives a call from jobs. Lin Fengwei was surprised. At this time, jobs called, not to chat with him.
"Hi, Stephen, what can I do for you?" Asked Lin Feng.
"December 1, Milan." In a few words, jobs hung up.
Jobs took another big bite of apple, with a slight smile on his face. At the beginning, Lin Feng declared war on himself in front of the public, forcing himself to face the war, and changed the focus of "apple" to the European market ahead of time. Lin Feng also took advantage of the situation to retrieve the shadow of "phantom"''s disastrous defeat in the U.S. market. This time, Lin Feng has to fight against Lin Feng, forcing his "phantom" not to enter the European market first.
Jobs believed that Lin Feng would fight. Even if Lin Feng refused, jobs believed that public opinion would force Lin Feng to fight. With that in mind, jobs picked up the phone again.
Lin Feng was stunned. He just wanted to ask again, but jobs had already hung up. December 1, what do you mean? Lin Feng rubbed the temple, a little puzzling. However, after careful consideration, it immediately came back to me.
After Lin Feng figured it out, he laughed. However, he secretly told jobs that he had to face off with jobs in Milan on December 1. However, the winner depends on who has higher ability.
"What''s so funny?" Abby asked curiously.
"Nothing. Jobs asked me to meet in Milan on December 1." Lin Feng said.
Abby was slightly stunned, and then understood what jobs meant. Lin Feng went to the headquarters of "apple" to declare war, and jobs also fought. He also set a time when it was a duel. But it also makes Abby look forward to this duel, especially with Avril''s declaration of war on blarney.
significant! Abby is looking forward to the last month of 2001 to see how crazy it will be.
"Lin, after this period of acquisition, we have acquired 51% of the shares of ''avenue-a'' company at a cost of $178 million. Just sign on it and the company will belong to you." Abby continues with the previous topic.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. This "avenue-a" company is a very mature online advertising planning company. It belongs to the Internet in the future, and its base business is mainly it. The acquisition of this Internet company is a perfect match.
Immediately, Lin Feng signed the agreement, and the "avenue-a" company officially belonged to Lin Feng.
"By the way, Abby, how''s my starting point going on the market?" After Lin Feng sold the "shell" of new wolf net to "starting point fast food restaurant", its listing affairs were handed over to Goldman Sachs.
"Lin, because new wolf belongs to a high-tech network company, but" starting point fast food restaurant "belongs to industry. In this regard, the US Securities Regulatory Commission needs a little more time to audit, and the audit will be completed in late December." Abby explained.
Lin Feng nodded“ Starting point fast food restaurant "listed, one is to completely swallow up the new wolf net, the other is to raise more funds for themselves.
After solving the business, they chat at will.
"Lin, do you really believe that Avril can beat blarney?" As an analyst, Abby is not a member of the entertainment industry, but through her data analysis, the probability of Avril''s victory over blarney is really low, which makes people despair. But Lin Feng is confident, and he has to bet $10 million on it. It really puzzled Abby.
"Is it your magic divination again?" Since Lin Feng told Abby that he was the 134 generation grandson of prime minister Bigan and showed the magic of divination, Abby, a materialist, has become infatuated with this extremely mysterious and mysterious divination. In a few months, the relevant books he has read are enough to make Abby half an expert.
Divination is true if you believe it, but false if you don''t.
Looking at Abby''s burning eyes, Lin Feng also feels depressed. I didn''t expect that this shrewd and calm chief analyst of Wall Street would become a fanatic of mysticism. It''s really a bit speechless.
"No, Abby, I believe in Avril''s strength. After you listen to her singing, you will be fascinated by her." Lin Feng doesn''t want to let Abby fall deeper and deeper, so as not to abuse a financial genius.
Superstition is harmful!
"Do you have her record or MP3?" Although Abby slightly regret, but see Lin Feng will Avril described so well, also came to interest.
"I''m sorry, I don''t have it now." Lin Feng said helplessly. Ever since Avril decided to re record, Sam destroyed all the 100000 copies he had already made, and even the sample of Lin Feng. Although Avril is so serious is a good thing, but today is November 23, December 1 will be on sale, time to catch up?
When Lin Feng thinks of Avril and blarney''s record sale on December 1, he thinks of jobs'' Declaration of challenge just now, which is also December 1. Obviously, it''s not a coincidence, but jobs wants to win in two battlefields at the same time with himself. No, it''s one battlefield for jobs and two for himself.
Interesting—— After thinking about jobs'' psychology, Lin Feng sneered a few times.
After saying goodbye to Abby, Lin Feng goes to Manhattan, New York, to see how Avril''s recording is going. Unexpectedly, he learns that Avril has been in for 12 hours and hasn''t come out yet. Lin Feng can only wait.
While Lin Feng was waiting, the reporter didn''t know how jobs responded to Lin Feng''s declaration of war. He gathered in Milan on December 1, and the two companies sold their products "phantom" and "iPod" at the same time, challenging their respective sales. This news makes the already excited reporters even more crazy.
Avril challenges brenny!
"Phantom" challenges "iPod"!
Among them are Lin Feng''s $10 million bet, and the grudge between Lin Feng and jobs. They were all sold on December 1, which was enough to drive all media crazy. Under the crazy exaggeration of the media, the American people are just like watching a Hollywood blockbuster.
News spread to Europe, the European media is speechless. Their own market has become the battlefield of the two companies, but also put on a decisive position in Milan, although the news is expected, but still a bit embarrassing.
When can European companies do the same to seize the market of the United States or China—— Many European media complained.
However, when the news spread to China, it was really exciting.
The $10 million wager made people marvel at Lin Feng''s forthrightness, but it also made the original domestic voice of one-sided support for Blane split. For most citizens, 10 million dollars is a huge amount. Although Lin Feng has money, he doesn''t want to lose to Americans or American gambling companies. Under this kind of psychology, Avril''s support rate soared, although it was not as good as branny, but it was not far away.
Of course, what''s more exciting is that in Milan, the "phantom" and "iPod" fight against each other, just like a gladiator duel. The only regret is why we are not in Rome, but in Milan, the fashion capital.
After a night''s waiting, the next day, at 6 a.m. on November 24, Avril came out of the studio with a tired face. Her face was very pale, but she looked very relaxed. Seeing Lin Feng, his face showed a very confident and satisfied smile.
"Lin, I won''t let you down this time!" With that, Avril feet a soft, people lose consciousness, paralyzed in the arms of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng is shocked, instinctively catches Avril, waiting to be sent to the hospital.
"It''s OK, Lin. Avril is just too tired. But this record is really great. Avril has broken through Sam explained quickly. He and Avril went in for a whole day, 24 hours, hardly eating or drinking. Avril was not in good health, and it was normal to be tired. However, the recording was extremely smooth, and the new let go was successfully completed. Although there was no change in the style of the song, Avril''s own singing skills broke through again. Now listening to Avril''s singing, even Sam Dou has a feeling of penetrating the soul.
Sam believes that Avril will not fail no matter who she is facing this time.
Hearing that Avril is just tired, Lin Feng is relieved.
"Lin, please send Avril back to the room. I''ll wait for you in the living room. I''ll discuss something with you." Sam''s eyes are red and his face is tired. But now he has more important things to talk with Lin Feng. He can''t rest.
Lin Feng nodded, holding Avril back to the bedroom. This is the second time for Lin Feng to hold Avril, but it is obvious that Avril is much lighter than last time. During this time, in order to record records, people are obviously thinner. Gently put the sleeping Avril on the bed, and Lin Feng covers it with pity.
"Lin, I won''t let you down this time." Looking at Avril, who is sleeping deeply on the bed, and recalling what Avril said just now, Lin Feng smiles: Avril, this time you will surpass brenny!.
When he came downstairs, he saw Sam lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. Lin Feng was about to wake him up, but Sam heard the noise and sat up with his eyes open.
"Sam, why don''t you take a break and we''ll talk about it this afternoon." Seeing that Sam was too tired, Lin Feng suggested.
"No, Lin, there''s not enough time. I can''t rest yet." Sam shook his head, struggled to sit up, patted his face and said, "wait for me for three minutes." With that, Sam ran to the bathroom and dipped his head in cold water. After being stimulated by cold water, Sam soon woke up, dried his face and ran out.
"Lin, time is running out, so I''ll put it straight." Sam took out a document from one side. "Lin, look at this contract. If you don''t have any comments, please sign it."
Lin Feng curiously took over the contract, a closer look, the original is Avril set up a small record company''s equity transfer agreement. Avril transferred 50% of Lin Feng''s shares, and Lin Feng injected $5 million into Avril records.
"This is..." asked Lin Feng.
"Now Avril records company has no money. In the early stage, the registered capital of 3 million yuan was used to make records. Later, 100000 records were discarded. The last time you gave us $5 million for publicity, I also used it to buy the song demand lists of major music TV stations from the 25th to the 30th. So now the company has no money. It''s not enough to print records. It can print 300000 copies at most. " Sam said helplessly.
Lin Feng nodded and understood Sam''s meaning. Money is not a problem, Lin Feng is not short of money, but Lin Feng must consider Avril, he is not to annex her record company. Because Lin Feng knows how brilliant Avril will create in the future. It''s really worth the 50% equity of 1000 omnipotent（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
