I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 402 Warner Music!

"Start with music software?" Jeb Jon asked with some doubts after hearing what Steve Jobs said.

Then he suddenly came to his senses again, and blurted out, "Gplayer?"

After Jobs nodded, Jeb Jon immediately followed up and said:

"At present, Gplayer has not applied for access to our system, so we can indeed develop a similar software for Apple users."

"What I want is not to imitate, but to innovate!" Jobs said in a somewhat displeased tone.

"I've never been an imitator!"

The boss's arrogance came up again. After hearing what Jobs said, Jeb-Jon couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he didn't speak. He didn't want to touch Jobs' mold at this time.

At this time, Jobs said to himself: "We need to develop a different software. It must be better than Gplayer, easier to operate, and more powerful. The most important thing is that it must have a bright spot that is Gplayer. Completely unavailable."

Speaking of this, Jobs' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey Jeb, we can make a music app that is both online and downloadable!"

"In the current Gplayer, if users want to support the original version, they can only buy CDs and convert them to computers through software. But if we can develop a software that combines online music listening and downloading, users don't need to buy CDs at all. to the music you want to hear."

The more Jobs said, the more excited his eyes became, while the expression on Jeb Jon's face was a little hesitant. Seeing the expression on the latter's face, Jobs immediately said:

"Are you worried about the source of the music? Dude, we can negotiate with the five major record companies, get their digital music licenses, and then copy all the music into our server music library."

"Yes, that's the way to do it!" Jobs had obviously convinced himself at this moment, seeing that there was no hesitation on Jeb Jon's face at this time, he immediately said:
"Okay, buddy, let's call everyone together to discuss the feasibility of this product plan, and we must finalize this matter as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

Jeb Jon immediately responded, and then left the office to organize a meeting for the big guys.

In the ensuing discussion, Jobs informed everyone of his vision, which is indeed a notification. At Apple, if Jobs decides to do something, he is not very good at caring about other people's opinions.

Of course, most of the time, everyone is convinced of Jobs' decision.

In this discussion, Jobs described to everyone why he did this in more detail.

"Once our software goes online, it will provide great convenience to users. With this advantage, we can compete with Gpod in different directions, or the two will become interdependent."

When talking about Gpod, Jobs was a little annoyed, "That guy once rejected me, this time, I will let him come to me for cooperation!"

"At that time, we can have two choices. One is to launch our MP3 player. Even if its configuration is not as good as Gpod, it can still form a good competitiveness by virtue of the advantages of software. Therefore, we must not relax our research on MP3 players. If 5G is not available, we will use 2G or 1G hard drives.”

"The second is that we can cooperate with Eternal Technology, but at that time, we are no longer a fool who only provides interfaces and then let the other party earn all the profits, but can occupy a certain dominant position through cooperative development."

Of course, Jobs still has a more subtle idea that he did not express, that is, through cooperation, he will slowly see if there is an opportunity to incorporate the Gpod product into his own Apple system. He has never given up on this idea.

"One month! I hope to see a software with mature functions appear in front of my eyes! At that time, I will take this product to negotiate with people from the five major record companies."

Jobs ended the discussion with this sentence. After he issued this order, Apple's R&D department immediately started to act.

Of course, they don't know that at this time, Eternal Technology has developed an upgraded version of Gplayer, and even at this time Lin Xiao has already contacted the Hollywood record company.

Mike Grenfell was very efficient. On the third day when Lin Xiao came to Los Angeles, he told Lin Xiao that he had an appointment with Roger Evans, the president of Warner Music.

That afternoon, Lin Xiao, together with Fadell, Lan Yumo and Mike Grenfell, came to Burbank, which is the current headquarters of Warner Music.

Mike Grenfell made an appointment early, so when Lin Xiao and the others arrived, they met Roger Evans directly.

Roger Evans was about the same height as Lin Xiao, and his age looked similar to Mike Grenfell. He belonged to the type of middle-aged handsome guy, with neatly combed hair and well-dressed clothes.

Seeing Lin Xiao and others coming, Roger Evans said to Mike Grenfell with a smile on his face:

"Hey Mike, what business did I get this time?"

"Mr. Roger, what I bring to you this time is a big business that can be done for a long time." Mike Grenfell smiled and introduced Lin Xiao and Fadell to Roger Evans.

"This is Mr. Lin I mentioned to you, the founder of Eternal Technology."

Roger Evans looked at Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "Hello Mr. Lin, I have used your company's Gplayer and Gpod, and they are indeed very good products. To have such a product, it is music the Gospel of man."

The first contact with the other party seemed to be pretty good, and Lin Xiao also had a smile on his face at this time.

"Thank you Mr. Roger for your praise. Warner Music continues to create beautiful music. This is the gospel for our music lovers."

After several people exchanged pleasantries, Mike Grenfell, who was the middleman, took the lead in bringing the topic to the main topic.

"Mr. Roger, Mr. Lin came here this time to talk about the cooperation between music copyrights."

"Oh?" Roger Evans glanced at Lin Xiao curiously.

Before that, although Mike Grenfell also mentioned Lin Xiaolai to talk about cooperation, he didn't say anything very specific.

At this time, Lin Xiao gave Fadell a look, motioning for him to turn on the laptop and open the Gplayer software, and said to Roger Evans:
"Mr. Roger, first take a look at our latest music player software."

"Oh? Are you planning to launch new software?" Roger Evans asked curiously at this time, watching with interest.

"Gplayer?" After Fadell opened the software, Roger Evans was a little confused.

"Yes, brand new Gplayer!"

Fadell responded while demonstrating the new features of the upgraded software for Roger Evans.
