Chapter 615 Playing with the Vice President(1/2)

BMG, EMI, Time Warner..., and of course, the vice presidents of Sony Records gathered in Los Angeles, at the "Neverland Ranch" bought by Avril Lavigne.

When many vice presidents of record companies rushed to "Neverland Ranch", Lin Fengzheng was having a barbecue with Avril Lavigne, Lin Chiling, Liu Yingying and others, enjoying themselves and feeling very uncomfortable. Many vice presidents saw this situation and felt angry for a while. They had called in advance.

I called and made an appointment with Lin Feng. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, Lin Feng was having a barbecue. This was really annoying.

Many vice presidents of record companies also muttered to themselves, no wonder the bosses of their respective companies did not come. It turned out that they had already known that they came here today to be angry. Therefore, sending these vice presidents here not only represents the attention of the record companies, but also avoids

The president himself was humiliated.

The vice president, the vice president, is just for taking the piss.

Many vice presidents looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and walked towards Lin Feng shamelessly.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Avril, good afternoon!" Many vice presidents said hello in unison.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng and others were still grilling sausages and other things without paying any attention to everyone, which made many vice presidents feel embarrassed. They wanted to leave with their sleeves, but they didn't dare. This time, the company president told them that they must

Let the riots caused by "Sony Gate" subside.

Although the riots caused by the "Sonygate" this time have subsided slightly due to the resignation of Sony Records President Mottola, there is an undercurrent surging. In particular, the public is quite angry about this "Sonygate" incident.

Although it is not news that record companies ban singers, it has never been brought to light. It is an unspoken rule, and no singer has ever challenged the authority of a record company. Now it is the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson who challenges the record company.

The authority, coupled with the support of Lin Feng behind him, undoubtedly made things extremely difficult. Especially in the Internet age, Lin Feng's "youtube" undoubtedly made things even more troublesome.

If the quarrel continues, no one knows what will happen in the end.

Of course, neither Michael Jackson nor Lin Feng will let many record companies send their vice presidents to negotiate peace. What scares many record companies is - "Wal-Mart", the giant of the global retail chain industry,

Ranked first among the Global 500.

In this "Sonygate" incident, it is not record companies (including Sony Records) that suffer the most. Although they have a bad reputation for banning singers, fans do not hate Sony Records' contracted artists because of this. As long as Sony Records does a little publicity in the future

This matter will be revealed in a moment.) The real damage this time was the record store.

As record stores such as "Taoer Records" participated in the ban, although they apologized to fans, sales dropped sharply. Most fans began to choose to buy records at "Wal-Mart". This is not a good thing for many record companies. If

In the end, "Wal-Mart" will dominate the record sales market, which is definitely not a good thing for many record companies.

Record companies can control record stores, but they cannot control "Wal-Mart." Of course, record companies can also prohibit the sale of records in "Wal-Mart," but in this case, the record companies may not be able to predict what will happen in the end. It is best to

The best solution is that the record store and "Wal-Mart" (referring to the record sales department) co-exist.

Therefore, many vice presidents came here today to discuss and see what Lin Feng’s requirements are. If Lin Feng is allowed to continue struggling like this, the situation will definitely get out of control and will be detrimental to everyone. In particular, these record companies also learned that Lin Feng

Feng now owns 2% of Wal-Mart's shares. It's not much, but it's enough to give these record companies a headache.

"Mr. Lin!" Time Warner's vice president called softly again.

However, Lin Feng and others were still grilling sausages individually, which made many vice presidents even more embarrassed. Although they were only vice presidents, they were still respectable people. Lin Feng's indifference was really outrageous.

When many vice presidents became impatient, Lin Feng finally put down the sausage in his hand.

"Hey, everyone is here, please take a seat. Please take a seat." Lin Feng turned around and saw many vice presidents, his face was "surprised", and at the same time he took off the headphones in his ears and said without any apology on his face, "Sorry, sorry

, I was listening to music just now and didn’t hear it.”

At this time, Avril and others snickered. Obviously, Lin Feng was talking nonsense. However, for many company vice presidents, even though they knew that Lin Feng was talking nonsense, they did not dare to pursue it, let alone Lin Feng.

He said that he also gave them a step down, and at least two earplugs were hung on his ears, which somewhat saved them some face.

"Sit down, everyone, the weather is so nice today, wouldn't it be appropriate to drink some beer and have some barbecue?" Lin Feng said with a chuckle.

"This..." Many vice presidents came to discuss things today, but unexpectedly Lin Feng asked them to sit here for a barbecue. This was a bit beyond their expectations. They looked at each other and reluctantly sat down. However, many vice presidents

, but he was sitting on pins and needles, looking uncomfortable.

Lin Feng smiled secretly after seeing it. The drama just now was just to vent Avril's anger. These record companies united to suppress Avril's record company and almost killed them all. Now that the situation has reversed, they came to talk about it.

He, this is too much to deceive others. If I don't take the opportunity to punish them today, how can I get rid of the evil spirit in my heart?

"Hey, joker (a servant), help me prepare some barbecue knives and forks and beer for these gentlemen." Lin Feng ordered.

"Okay, sir." The joker turned and left.

Not long after, joker brought knives, forks and beer to the vice presidents of many record companies.

"Mr. Lin, we are here today because we have something important to discuss with you." The vice president of BMG Records reluctantly took the knife, fork and beer, dumbfounded.

"Isn't this different? Drinking beer, eating barbecue, enjoying the sunshine, and talking about things at the same time. Isn't it very pleasant?" Lin Feng brought a grilled sausage to his nose, sniffed it, and took a bite.

, mouth full of oil.

"But..." BMG Vice President wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Feng.

"Avril, give me some paper and some cold beer, it's so hot!" Lin Feng exclaimed.

"Take it, look at you, you look like a child." Avril burst out laughing and handed Lin Feng tissues and cold beer.

A black line floated across the faces of many vice presidents of record companies. It didn't look like they were talking about something, they were clearly flirting.

Lin Feng secretly laughed in his heart. Fortunately, he was the vice president. If he were the president, Lin Feng would not dare to play like this. After all, the vice president is just a vice president, and playing tricks with the vice president will not harm the overall situation.

However, even though they knew that Lin Feng was tricking him, many vice presidents could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend they didn't know.

"By the way, where were we talking about just now?" Lin Feng asked.

"Uh..." Many company vice presidents were speechless for a while.

At this moment, several people walked in from outside.

"Hi, Avril!" a female voice called.

Many vice presidents heard this voice very familiar, and subconsciously looked back curiously. Unexpectedly, they were shocked. The person who came was none other than the pop queen Mariah Carey, and there was a girl beside her. Although there was no

Mariah Carey is so famous, but many vice presidents still know her. She is also a girl and one of the members of the original "Destined Girl" (now defunct) group, Beyoncé.

What are the two of them doing here?—The vice presidents of the record company were surprised for a while.

Lin Feng's heart beat wildly when he saw Beyoncé.

Mariah Carey and Beyoncé did not expect to see so many record company vice presidents here, and were slightly stunned. Especially when they saw the respectful attitude of many record company vice presidents towards Lin Feng, they were secretly horrified.

"Hey Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, let's go in and talk." Avril clapped her hands and jumped up, pulling Mariah Carey and Beyoncé in.

Many vice presidents of the record company were very curious and wanted to go and have a look, but now they had to talk to Lin Feng about business. However, they stretched their ears and could barely hear a few words - contract, signing, etc.

Are Mariah Carey and Beyoncé going to sign with Avril's record company? - The vice president of the record company was horrified. If this is true, I'm afraid Avril Records will rise rapidly, and with the addition of Avril Lavigne

With its own strength, the strength of Michael Jackson, and the support of Lin Feng, the third richest man in the world, and of course, the support of "Wal-Mart", I am afraid that Avril Records will become as good as anyone present.

The strong presence of a record company.

Thinking of this possibility, many vice presidents were frightened. However, the most important thing at hand was to negotiate with Lin Feng, so that Lin Feng would no longer use "YouTube" and his influence in "Google" to influence the public opinion on the Internet, and give many record companies

, especially record stores causing trouble.

After thinking about it, many vice presidents looked at each other and decided not to delay any more and cut the mess quickly.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you should know our purpose. We also bring our sincerity." The vice president of Time Warner presented a contract, and the vice presidents of other record companies also presented a contract.

"This is a license agreement regarding the MP3 music licensing agreement for the 'online mp3 sales system' owned by Mr. Lin's company 'Phantom Technology'. We will again authorize 'Phantom Technology' to sell digital music of our companies online." Times

Warner Vice President said.

This contract is the best sincerity they can show, and they believe that Lin Feng also needs this very much. After all, Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" has the biggest competitor - "apple", and he wants to compete with "apple"

To compete with "ipod", Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" needs this licensing agreement. This is the weakness of "Phantom Technology" and what many record companies rely on.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng didn't even look at the contract and pushed it aside.

Huh, it would be too fanciful to use this kind of contract to satisfy yourself! - Lin Feng sneered in his heart. This licensing agreement is inherently beneficial to the record company. After all, Lin Feng's "Phantom" has been released for one year

The profits are tens of millions of dollars, which is very generous, and the record companies can also get half of the money. Now they are using this to excuse themselves. Isn’t it a joke?

"Mr. Lin, I think your 'Phantom Technology' needs this licensing agreement very much. I think we should be able to eliminate misunderstandings without having to fight each other like this." Vice President Emi reminded and threatened.

Indeed, if Lin Feng had not transferred the "online MP3 sales system" to "Wal-Mart", this threat would still be very effective. But now, this threat is too ridiculous for Lin Feng. What's more, the future is mobile phones

In the world, mp3 player has passed its historical period.

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to sign this agreement again." Lin Feng said calmly.

"What!" Many bosses were shocked.

"Everyone, if this is your sincerity, then please go back and tell your president that I, Lin Feng, am definitely not the kind of person who can be coaxed with a few candies after being beaten." Lin Feng said coldly.

.

Many vice presidents frowned.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin's request is?" the vice president of Time Warner asked helplessly.

"It's very simple. I ask you to publicly apologize, publicly apologize to Avril Records, and apologize to Avril!" Lin Feng said categorically.

"No!" Many vice presidents refused in unison. If this was an apology, it would undoubtedly bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the major record companies, especially it would create a very bad impression in the hearts of fans, and they would never agree to it.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Lin Feng stood up and walked into the room, "My only request is this. It's up to you to agree or not."

"Mr. Lin, your request is too outrageous." Numerous vice presidents said.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, turned around and left.

Many vice presidents frowned, and the vice president of Sony Records couldn't help but loudly said, "Mr. Lin, you are too pushy and it may not be a good thing. If Avril Records wants to develop, it must not make too many enemies!"
