Chapter 1543 Petrochemical
"Do they agree?" Lisa wondered.
Isn’t this taking a share of the pie from them?
"Qin Feng!" Jobs groaned.
He really didn't want to explain the relationship to his stupid daughter.
This is really stupid.
Why don’t you have any economic sense?
"We are not taking a piece of the pie from these record companies. On the contrary, we are helping them open up the market. Many people rarely go to record stores specifically. In other words, if they go there occasionally, it is difficult to make up their minds.
After all, buying a record is very expensive. Therefore, this has also led to rampant piracy in the market." Qin Feng explained, "Also, sometimes, we just like a song, but you want me to buy a record, this,
It’s such a bad deal.”
"So, if we launch an MP3 download service, consumers can download it according to their personal preferences. For record companies, it seems that they have lost an opportunity to sell a record, but they have gained more consumers. The live event
For most singers, selling a million copies of a record is something worthy of special mention. And those who sell tens of millions of copies are undoubtedly divine songs that can win Grammy Awards. However, if
On the Internet, it is normal for a song to sell hundreds of millions of copies." Qin Feng said, "Not only that, this will also give those singers who are not very famous a chance."
Lisa nodded. She understood.
"Then what are we going to do? Design the shape of this MP3 player?" Lisa asked.
Jobs did not look at Lisa, but at Qin Feng. He wanted to know whether Qin Feng understood what he meant.
Qin Feng didn't understand at first. But Jobs's attitude of being too lazy to pay attention to his daughter made Qin Feng understand that Jobs was definitely not looking for him to ask about the appearance plan.
In this regard, Jobs would never care about the attitudes of the two. He had his own plan. In fact, Jobs's aesthetics have always been praised by the industry.
Even some competitors praised Jobs's aesthetics.
In this regard, how could he possibly find the two of them?
"I think we should build an online song sales platform." Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "Online mall system."
"Smart!" Jobs nodded with a smile, "I will solve the hardware aspect, and you will solve the software platform aspect. Isn't your Lisa Online very good? It has become the largest online game sales platform at the moment. You can build it for me again.
An online mall. Provide online mall services to all Apple users. However, it cannot be as artistic as your Lisa Online. It must be simple, efficient, beautiful, elegant, and full of artistic flavor."
Qin Feng rolled his eyes.
This, you are asking for too much. However, Qin Feng does not have to worry about whether it is difficult or not.
This must be difficult. If you want to meet Steve Jobs's needs in art, it must be difficult. This guy has a mysophobia when it comes to artistic pursuits.
However, with Lisa here, Lisa will take care of the art aspect. I can only handle the code aspect.
"What kind of cooperation is that?" Qin Feng asked.
This aspect needs to be made clear.
You can't work for nothing. You don't get a penny from Apple.
Although Qin Feng has shares, Qin Feng has no position and is just a major shareholder, the kind who just distributes money and does no work.
"That's easy to say." Jobs said with a smile, "We outsource it to Lisa Online for research and development. The research and development fee is 1 million US dollars. Then, you will enjoy 5% of the profit share in the follow-up."
"That's so stingy." Qin Feng rolled his eyes, "This is your daughter's company. How can it be so stingy? US$5 million in R&D expenses, plus 10%." Qin Feng groaned.
"Go away! Do you think our company is a big landowner?" Jobs turned his back directly, "The maximum R&D fee is 1.5 million US dollars. As for the profit sharing, the maximum is 7%. If I hadn't taken care of my daughter, my own company would be able to do research and development."
Can Apple develop it?
At present, it is really not possible. Of course, this is mainly because there is currently no department in this area, and there is no experience in this area. Lisa Online has very mature experience in online sales.
This is what Jobs wanted.
Of course, there was also the idea of taking care of the business for his daughter. However, Jobs would never admit it.
"Okay! Deal!" Qin Feng reached an agreement with him.
Subsequently, both parties happily signed the contract.
"Okay, you want to continue the quarrel, but not in my place. You can go out and get a room and quarrel slowly." After saying that, Jobs kicked the two of them out.
"This bastard is so inhumane." Qin Feng cursed in a low voice.
"Yes, that's such a bastard." Lisa also muttered.
Then, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Having a common "enemy" gave the two of them many common topics.
"Let's go back and discuss what to do. After all, it's a deal." Qin Feng said with a smile.
Lisa nodded.
Although the money earned is not much, it is still quite a lot.
Lisa Online, the number of employees is not large.
Because of online sales, only two or three customer service personnel are needed to provide services online. Moreover, services are only required after problems occur. If there are no problems, then no services are needed. At most, they can occasionally answer some questions.
.
Therefore, Lisa Online's main expenses are line rental and server rental. But this does not cost much in a year.
Therefore, this order of US$1.5 million is considered a large order for Lisa Online.
What's more, there is also a 7% profit share from online mall sales.
By the way, what is signed in this contract is the profit sharing of the online mall. It is not specifically marked as the sales share of digital music. I don’t know if this is an oversight on the part of Jobs. But, in the future, that will be a huge amount of income.
You know, in the future, Apple’s online mall system will earn tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. This 7%, that’s 700 million U.S. dollars.
Tsk tsk tsk, in this future, Lisa Online will make money while lying down.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng smiled.
It's not easy to take advantage of Steve Jobs.
It took three days for Qin Feng and Lisa to reach a preliminary plan. Of course, according to the contract, after the plan was made, Jobs needed to review it because he wanted to determine whether the framework of the online mall met his artistic standards.
You know, he is a very picky person.
But this time, after reading it, Jobs didn't say much.
"Sony seems to be interested in this too, so you have to act quickly. By the way, you should contact the major record companies and sign the online sales agreement. Remember, Sony is also interested, so act quickly!" Jobs
Another task was thrown in.
Qin Feng was stunned. This is not my mission.
"Otherwise, do you think that 7% of the online mall's profits are easy to get?" Jobs chuckled, "Do you really think I'm stupid? There's such a big loophole. Go and do something!"
Qin Feng is petrified.
Chapter completed!
