Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Second Tiaohu Lishan

Chapter 322: Tuning the tiger away from the mountain

"Europe!" Lin Feng stared at Jobs tightly like an eagle, and spit out two words that made Jobs scared.

Many reporters naturally saw that Lin Feng was declaring war on Jobs. While he was disdainful of Lin Feng, he also recorded him and imagined the title of tomorrow in his mind. The two companies were from the US market to the European market, which was exciting to think about. There are so many of them for their reporters to perform.

Damn it, how could he go to Europe! - Jobs said angrily. "Apple" does not have much "ipod" inventory now, and most "ipods" are sold to 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 in advance, which has forced Jobs' plan to advance, but "Apple" has no excess inventory.

Damn it! - Jobs cursed inwardly. This time Lin Feng just pinched the lifeline of "Apple".

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

"Stephen, let's see you in Europe!" Lin Feng said, turned around and left.

Jobs looked gloomy. Although many reporters were a little dissatisfied with Lin Feng's arrogantness, the main Jobs didn't say much. As reporters, they naturally wouldn't be able to take rats. However, they recorded all this, and tomorrow's newspaper will have a title.

"The loser Lin Feng challenged "Apple" again - See you in Europe!".

After Lin Feng left, many reporters naturally surrounded Jobs and asked whether Jobs would respond, whether "ipod" would enter the European market, and compete with Lin Feng's "Phantom" in the European market.

The enthusiasm of many reporters for the grudge between Lin Feng and Jobs made the press conference, which should have been the second generation of "ipod" to become a press conference for Lin Feng to declare war on Apple again. No reporters care about the second generation of "ipod" products anymore. As for the little sweet Briani, who was supposed to be the protagonist, it was even ignored. This made her, who had a strong self-esteem, extremely angry.

"Stephen, my new album is about to be released. I will go to Europe to promote the album. I will help you promote the 'ipod'." Little Sweet Brianie suddenly stepped down and said indignantly.

Everyone was surprised and then ecstatic. Little sweet Briani's words undoubtedly meant that she would face the challenge, which was even bigger news. Especially when Briani looked angry when he spoke, he was obviously anxious about Lin Feng. But it should be the first time that Briani and Lin Feng met. Why was she so angry with Lin Feng? This is another hot topic that can be discovered.

However, although the battle between Tsai Tsai Briani excited many reporters, there is another premise 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 the battle between Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai Tsai and Lin Feng, it is undoubtedly ridiculous, and the people will not be too interested in it, and they cannot hype it up even if they want to.

Many reporters couldn't help but look at Jobs.

The declaration of Little Sweet Briani was beyond Jobs' expectations. Although I don't know why Little Sweet Briani stood out for "Apple", it was a good thing for Steve Jobs. If Lin Feng wants to seize the European market, "ipod" has to face the challenge, otherwise the European market will definitely be snatched away by Lin Feng's "Phantom".

In the US market, the reason why "ipod" defeated the "Phantom" and did not sell a single one in the end was that in addition to Jobs' propaganda methods, there was another very important point - preconceived ideas.

The two mp3 players with almost the same appearance, "ipod" has local advantages. Naturally, "Phantom" has entered the domestic market of the United States long ago. When the "Phantom" comes in again, American consumers have already accepted "ipod", and "Phantom" naturally has no market.

The same is true for the European market now, whoever enters first will have the advantage.

Jobs has to face the challenge now. Although there is not much inventory, it is enough to adjust the strategy appropriately. For the time being, compete with Lin Feng for the European market, and the US market can be temporarily put on the market. Moreover, this time, Little Sweet Brianiken went to Europe to help promote, which is undoubtedly a huge help to "ipod" in seizing the European market.

Although Jobs did not respond to Lin Feng's declaration of war in front of many reporters, many reporters had already seen from his expression that Jobs accepted Lin Feng's declaration of war. He was ecstatic at the moment. This time they would definitely not worry about sales, and tomorrow would definitely excite the people of the United States.

Outside the "Apple" company, Tan Zhi was waiting in the car. He originally asked himself and Lin Feng to go there, so he could also help Lin Feng block some questions. Lin Feng is now the company's boss, and he is just the CEO. No matter how difficult questions are to answer, Tan Zhi's bachelor's surrender is to admit defeat, but Lin Feng cannot admit defeat. It not only concerns the company's face, but also concerns whether the "Phantom" can rise in the US market in the future.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng asked him to wait outside. This made Tan Zhi extremely confused, and he didn't know how ridiculed Lin Feng would suffer from inside.

In a state of confusion, 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 knew whether Lin Feng forced himself to smile.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm fine. I just declared war when I go in!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Declare war?" Tan Zhi was stunned.

"Yes, I told Jobs that I would give up the American market and prepare to enter the European market." Lin Feng looked at the night sky and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Zhi looked shocked. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng entered for a while and announced that he would give up the US market and enter the European market, and declare war on Jobs in person. This was really surprising! Tan Zhi suddenly felt that he seemed to be really old and could not keep up with Lin Feng's pace. Although, he was only 46 years old this year and was still very young.

However, Tan Zhi had to admire that Lin Feng was really brave. If it were him, even if he really decided to give up the American market and enter the European market, he would not tell Jobs. Perhaps this is also the reason why he could only serve as a CEO and could not start his own company. He was not generous enough and not bold enough. Fortunately, Lin Feng had all this, and he just had to do his essential work well.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. It was a forced choice to give up the US market this time. Now Jobs' attacks on "Phantom" have one wave after another. Now the difficulty of "Phantom" to gain a foothold in the United States is far beyond Lin Feng's imagination. Since that's the case, why not give up this market temporarily and seize other markets. As for declaring war on Jobs, Lin Feng didn't have to do so. However, Lin Feng was not convinced. "Phantom" is not as bad as the current performance, and he can't even sell one. For the sake of face and to prove "Phantom", Lin Feng must declare war on Jobs.

Otherwise, in the future, Apple will use the record of zero sales of "Phantom" in the US market to crack down on "Phantom". With the psychology of consumers, it will definitely abandon "Phantom" and choose "ipod". By then, not only will it not be able to enter the US market and seize the European market, it will not even be able to maintain the Asian market.

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

Taking a step back does not mean that I admit defeat; letting go does not mean that I give up. All this is just a slow-down strategy for Lin Feng, a strategy of retreating to advance.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, let's go to the European market and find the humiliation of the failure of the American market." Tan Zhi nodded and made up his mind to say.

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

Tan Zhi was stunned.

"Mr. Tan, I didn't decide to really give up the US market." Lin Feng smiled strangely.

Tan Zhi was really confused and looked confused.

"Haha, Mr. Tan, the memory capacity problem of our 'Phantom' cannot be solved in hardware for the time being, but it can be solved in software." Lin Feng said.

Solution on software? ——Tan Zhi was stunned and waited for Lin Feng to come to the following article.

"Mr. Tan, Microsoft has just launched www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdows-media-audio), which is a new audio format launched by Microsoft that is as famous as the mp3 format. Microsoft claims that the same file is twice as small as mp3 and the sound quality remains unchanged. Of course, this is as ridiculous as Microsoft announced that its operating system will not have a basket screen. However, one thing is true. In the audition of 128kbps and below code streams, wma completely surpassed mp3 format. The king of low code streams is not a false name. However, when the code streams rise to 128kbp, the sound quality of wma did not greatly improve with the increase of the code streams like mp3.

After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, Tan Zhi's eyes lit up. The data rate of 128kbps is enough to meet the needs of most people. If the problem can be solved in software and doubled the capacity, it will be a great thing for "Phantom". By the beginning of next year, 128m flash memory will become popular, and "Phantom" can have a capacity of 256m using the WMA format. Although it is still far inferior to the 4g capacity of the second generation of "IPOD", it is enough to meet normal applications.

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