Chapter 607: Target Google

Record stores across the United States do not sell Avril Records' records, which is naturally due to pressure from major record companies around the world. It is impossible for these auction houses to offend so many giants just for Avril Records' records.

"Lin, what should I do now?" Avril frowned. She didn't expect these record companies to be so vicious and use this method to suppress herself.

Lin Feng smiled, this was what he had expected.

"I never planned to sell through record stores from the beginning." Lin Fengxiao said, "I aimed at online trading platforms from the beginning."

Avril's eyes lit up after hearing this.

However, what is extremely frustrating is that the online sales model has also been hindered, and all online trading platforms in the United States have politely refused to sell Avril Records' records.

Hum, I knew you wanted to sell through the Internet, hehe, I gave the order in advance. Let’s see what you do! - Motorola is not stupid either. Lin Feng is from IT background, so naturally I guess that Lin Feng may sell through the online trading platform.

, so Motorola has already made enough efforts in advance. Under the pressure of global record companies, no online trading platform is willing to sell Avril's records.

Regarding this situation, Lin Feng smiled instead.

"Humph, you are still laughing. None of my records have been sold yet. Don't forget that the company still has your share. If it loses money, you will also lose money." Avril said angrily.

.

Lin Feng hugged Avril who was pouting, held her hand, and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, this is all what I expected. Didn't I say that I wanted to set up an online radio station? Until now, I haven't thought about it."

It’s not established, just to avoid disturbing the public.”

Avril was delighted to hear this.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely surprise these bullying record companies this time." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Lin Feng had already expected that many record companies not only blocked sales in record stores, but also blocked online sales. After all, these record companies were definitely not stupid, on the contrary, they were extremely smart, and they would naturally prevent online sales. Unfortunately, they still had no idea.

Realize his true intention.——Lin Feng smiled proudly.

Whether it was the "fsn-houston" TV station launching a music channel and music radio station, or contacting "eBay" to sell Avril's two singles, Lin Feng was trying to confuse these record company bosses and make them mistakenly think that his behavior was illegal.

It is within their expectations, so that they will take it lightly and take advantage of it.

Otherwise, before I can take action, these record companies will take action in advance, and I won’t want to implement any plans at all. After all, this is the United States, it is their territory, and I am just a passerby. But it’s not like the Raptors can’t cross the river, since I want to support Ivy

You and Michael Jackson must fight to the end.

Amidst Avril's confusion, Lin Feng contacted Liu Yingying and asked her to send people to the United States to open the American branch of "Dingdong.com". Lin Feng had already expected that "eBay" would not sell Avril's products.

Regarding records, regardless of whether there is pressure from companies like Sony Records or not, eBay will not sell its favors as long as it has its own grievances between "Dingdang.com" and "Ebay.com". At the time, "Dingdang.com" and "Ebay.com"

"During the competition, "Dingdang.com" often used some embarrassing things of "eBay.com" (such as selling credit points, reviewing information too hastily, etc.) to promote itself, and the feud between the two families grew.

Therefore, since there is no online trading platform willing to sell Avril's records, it is better to sell it yourself. Anyway, "Dingdong.com" is expanding the Asian market and entering the US market in advance. Of course, there are risks, which is why Lin Feng hesitated at first.

Yes, but you can't lose much money if you lose everything. You can afford the loss yourself.

Of course, if you want "Dingdang.com" to attract attention in the United States and be accepted by American netizens, you must rely on a media - Google.

Google is now the world's largest search engine company, occupying 84.9% of the global search engine market, and has become the preferred search engine website for almost all Americans. As long as Google is willing to promote "Dingdang.com", Lin Feng believes that "Dingdang.com" will not only

It can establish a foothold in the United States and even open up new markets.

After all, Chinese goods are extremely cheap. Selling that country’s goods to the United States through a b2c trading platform can not only make a lot of profits, but also create foreign exchange income, and the country can also have policy inclinations. This is definitely a multi-purpose strategy.

Good thing.

Of course, if you want Google to promote "Dingdang.com", there must be a prerequisite. Lin Feng owns shares of "Google". Only in this way will "Google" promote "Dingdang.com", and it will not be because of other companies'

Pressure or other factors have pushed "Dingdang.com" into the shadows or even been blocked.

Acquiring Google stock has long been in Lin Feng's plan, but he has never had an excuse or opportunity. Last time when he launched the "Phantom" MP3, Lin Feng also met "Google" founder Larry Page. Unfortunately, Lin Feng's

The financing plan was rejected. But last time, Lin Feng was still unknown. Now Lin Feng is the third richest person in the world, with enough fame and strength.

After bidding farewell to Avril, Lin Feng drove to Mountain View, California - the headquarters of "Google".

Eric Schmidt, the current president of Google, personally received Lin Feng's visit. After all, Lin Feng has a different status now and ranks third on the world's richest list. Google dare not ignore him.

"Mr. Schmidt, I apologize for taking the liberty of visiting you!" Lin Feng said politely.

"It's our honor to have Mr. Lin come to Google." Eric Schmidt said politely.

Looking at Eric Schmidt in front of him, Lin Feng sighed. If Larry Page brought "Google" to this world, it was also the reason that allowed "Google" to achieve profitability for the first time since the Internet bubble burst in 2000.

The person in front of me is none other than Eric Schmidt.

Last year, "Google" achieved profitability for the first time, with revenue: US$86.4 million and profit: US$6.99 million. This year, the financial statements for the first three quarters alone have increased by 400% compared with the same period last year. This is an extremely astonishing increase.

, in the environment of the Internet bubble bursting, "Google" was still able to achieve such strong profit growth, and further consolidated its title of "King of Search Engines", and Eric Schmidt was indispensable.

Although "Google" is now so profitable and its future prospects are promising, Lin Feng is also quite confident about his trip.

"Mr. Schmidt, what do you think of today's search engine market?" Lin Feng smiled and got to the point.

"Google is still the absolute king of the search engine market." Eric Schmidt said confidently.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Yes, this is indeed the case so far. But Yahoo has taken off the Google logo from its website (no longer uses Google search), and Microsoft is also coveting the search engine market. After all, the future is the Internet age, and search engines are the core of the Internet age.

.This is like the Internet is a vast ocean, each website is an island in the vast ocean, and search engines are ships carrying guests to various islands." Lin Feng said.

This is the first time Eric Schmidt has heard such a metaphor, but it is indeed very appropriate, and Lin Feng's assessment of the search engine market is not wrong. Yahoo has fallen out with "Google" and no longer uses "Google's" search engine.

, the "bing" engine developed by Microsoft is also trying to seize the market of "Google". Although "Google" is now in full swing, it does not mean that there is no crisis.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin meant?" Eric Schmidt asked calmly.

Lin Feng smiled.

"It's very simple. I want to invest in Google, just to raise funds." Lin Feng said lightly.

Eric Schmidt frowned. He also guessed the reason for Lin Feng's trip. He either wanted to advertise or wanted to raise funds. If he wanted to advertise, Lin Feng didn't have to come in person. Come in person.

, it can only be to raise funds for "Google". However, "Google" is indeed preparing for a second financing recently, and is in contact with major investment banks, trying to find a few investment banks that are only willing to purchase stock capital and do not require actual controlling rights.

.In order to obtain more abundant funds to fight against "Yahoo" and the more powerful "Microsoft".

However, Eric Schmidt has many concerns, because Lin Feng also owns a search engine company - Baidu. Today, Baidu is the absolute dominant player in the search engine market in mainland China, accounting for 84.9% of the global share compared to "Google".

Baidu's market share in mainland China is as high as 90%. What is Lam Feng's intention to finance "Google"?

"Mr. Lin, you also own Baidu search engine. I wonder what you mean by financing Google?" Eric Schmidt asked cautiously.

"Haha, I'm just a businessman, a businessman who comes purely for profit. I think 'Google' has great investment value, so I came here." Lin Feng did not say his purpose. Now the major record companies have united.

Lin Feng must not reveal his intention to ban Avril Records in advance, otherwise once word spreads, these record companies will definitely do everything possible to stop it.

Although they cannot change the decision of "Google", they can use money to smash it. There are so many record companies, and one piece of damage to one of them is enough to kill Lin Feng. Don't look at Lin Feng's assets of 40 billion US dollars, but only 23% of the cash in hand.

billion, so this time Lin Feng is only supporting Avril Lavigne and Michael Jackson in his own name, not in the name of his company.

Otherwise, if the war breaks out, these record companies may be very willing to play a real-life version of the "Monopoly" game with Lin Feng, wipe out Lin Feng's assets, or even replace them.

"Mr. Schmidt, this is my financing plan, please take a look at it." Lin Feng knew that he could not convince Eric Schmidt with reasons, so he used money to convince him.

Eric Schmidt took the contract and looked at it, and was surprised. Lin Feng's contract was very generous, and he was willing to acquire 5% of the shares of "Google" for US$500 million, which was far more than Eric Schmidt.

For this financing, the current market value of "Google" is estimated by major investment banks to be around US$6 billion, but Lin Feng's estimate is nearly double that, and he only holds 5% of the shares. This is very tempting!

Lin Feng also believes that his financing plan is very attractive. Not only is the financing price high, but with only 5% of the shares, it does not pose any threat to Google's equity structure.

But to Lin Feng's surprise, Eric Schmidt finally shook his head and declined Lin Feng's financing plan. Because Lin Feng owns "Baidu", this is too unsafe! Although "Baidu" is currently only involved in the Chinese mainland market

, but what about the future? If it extends its tentacles to the international market, it will definitely compete with "Google". By then, Lin Feng will own 5% of the shares and will naturally be qualified to attend the shareholders' meeting and the board of directors. Then "Google" will have a headache.

.

Lin Feng did not expect to be rejected by Eric Schmidt, but Lin Feng did not say anything more and walked out of the "Google" headquarters with a smile. However, after leaving the "Google" headquarters, Lin Feng's face darkened.

.Without "Google", your own plan cannot be implemented.
