Michael Jackson only obtained the digital copyright of some of the music copyrights he owned, which was far from enough for Qin Feng.

However, at present, the five major record companies look down on this area. They are obsessed with old ideas and are unwilling to break away from the traditional sales model and switch to the online sales model.

Digital rights such as The Beatles alone cannot attract enough fans to support them.

If the iPod were launched now, I'm afraid it would be a disaster.

This is what Qin Feng suddenly realized.

Because you don't have the copyright of the five major record companies, you can't download genuine music. If users use pirated music, then as a hardware company, it will be hard to escape the blame.

This is not like Sony's Walkman, which uses CDs. And CDs have genuine material. This does not require any authorization from the record company. After you buy the Walkman, you can go to the record company yourself.

Buy genuine CDs.

As for whether users buy pirated CDs or genuine CDs, that is the user's own behavior. This has nothing to do with Sony.

If your record company discovers that users are using pirated CDs, it can't be blamed on Sony.

However, if Apple launches iPod now without the authorization of the five major record companies, it means that consumers can only download pirated MP3s. This also means that Apple is condoning consumers to download pirated MP3s.

By then, a lawsuit will have to be filed.

In China, this is nothing. It won't cause any trouble. But in the West, it is a real big trouble.

Could it be that Jobs was aware of this and asked himself to deal with this troublesome matter.

As for why Apple has not encountered such trouble in "history"?

That's because the iPod was launched three years later. In three years, the Internet has changed beyond recognition. Now many people are not aware of the innovation of the Internet. Even Microsoft is not aware of it.

Three years later, things are different. Everyone knows that the 21st century is the era of the Internet.

This is the limitation of the times.

As for Apple, because of his arrival, Jobs had absolute control over Apple in advance, and some of his innovative thinking began to shine.

The iPod came out three years early, so there was a big problem.

If it were an iPhone, even if it were 10 years in advance, there would be no problem.

Unfortunately, the iPod is not the iPhone.

No wonder Lisa felt that she had suffered a big loss. It seems that she also realized this. That's why she went to Apple to negotiate with Steve Jobs.

Right now, at Apple.

Lisa came online on behalf of Lisa and started a negotiation with Jobs.

"This time, we have to negotiate digital music rights with the five major record companies. This is an extremely difficult matter. And if we can't negotiate, then even if your iPod is produced, it will be just a pile of waste and cannot be used at all.

Listed for sale. Therefore, the 7% share is extremely unreasonable. You are squeezing." Lisa said without mercy, "So, we require a more reasonable profit share."

Steve Jobs stared at Lisa with cannibalistic intentions.

This is her own daughter, and as a result, to fight against her and her father for a man is simply treason.

"How much do you want?" Jobs snorted.

"70%!" Lisa said loudly.

"Are you crazy! Who do you think you are!" Jobs slammed the table and roared.

How dare you ask for 70%.

"It's not much. Without us discussing this copyright, your iPod is useless. What you spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create is useless." Lisa said bluntly, "As long as it is not authorized by the five major record companies, it will be useless."

Then you won't be able to sell. This will be extremely unstable for your current position. Don't forget, the company directors asked you to come back to lead Apple out of trouble. But your first innovative product encountered

Failure, what do you think those shareholders will think?"

Bastard! This damn bastard... Jobs yelled.

This negotiation is simply out of the question.

Lisa used the information she obtained at Apple to negotiate with him now to get better treatment for Qin Feng. This is simply shameless.

"You are my daughter and a director of Apple!" Jobs roared.

This roar made the entire Apple company tremble.

At Apple, when Jobs started ranting, the entire company fell silent. There was no other voice except his.

He is such a tyrant. A tyrant who is feared but loved.

This sounds very conflicting, but in fact it is not conflicting at all.

Tyrants are certainly disgusting and even annoying. However, if the tyrant can bring you benefits, then you will not hate the tyrant.

People are very realistic. As long as it can bring benefits to themselves, that's fine. The rest can be tolerated.

In this regard, Huo Qubing existed in ancient China. The young general was very inconsiderate to the soldiers, but as long as there was a war, the soldiers were willing to follow General Huo Qubing.

Why? If he can succeed in establishing a career, win battles, save his life, and receive adequate rewards, then there is nothing wrong with him if he is not considerate of his soldiers.

The same goes for Steve Jobs.

Apple's glory comes from Steve Jobs. Without Steve Jobs, Apple has declined and is almost bankrupt. In this case, bring him back. Everyone has resources and is willing to give him everything.

"But I am representing Lisa Online now." Lisa looked calm.

In the past, Lisa had always been afraid of her father. Once Jobs showed an unhappy expression, Lisa would feel frightened and ask herself whether she had done anything wrong.

But now, it's different. She and Jobs are on an equal footing, sitting at the negotiating table and negotiating as equals.

This made her very happy.

"So, Steve, don't think that just because you are my father, you can take advantage of my company. This profit distribution must not be based on the previous distribution." Lisa looked calm.

The ensuing negotiations were filled with constant roars.

At this moment, Qin Feng also said goodbye after signing the contract with Michael Jackson.

Now we have only reached a preliminary cooperation intention, which cannot meet Qin Feng's needs.

Therefore, Qin Feng is still thinking about who to sign?

Who else is coming up soon?

Justin Bieber? Qin Feng thought about it and forget it.

This one is only 4 years old. That's impossible.

Who should be signed? Which one might emerge immediately in the future?

Avril? Qin Feng thinks it’s still early. She’s only 14 years old this year. This is too early.

Her music style and other aspects are immature. It’s really not possible to go find her by yourself.

Beyoncé?

This doesn't seem to work either. She has already signed a contract with Sony Records and has already made her debut. Although she is not the Beyoncé that she will be later. But poaching her by herself is not an option.
