Chapter 471 A murder caused by a pair of headphones (4k)

"Beep, beep."

In the corridor of the courthouse, the footsteps of pairs of leather shoes colliding with the marble floor echoed.

"If it wasn't for the fear of contempt of court, I couldn't help but applaud you on the spot, Lu!"

Saul Goodman's eyes showed admiration, "You have the talent and potential of a lawyer, even in our line of work, you can make a career."

Lu Fei glanced at him and joked, "That may not be you working for me, but I working for you."

"Hahaha~"

Saul Goodman, Guo Xing and others laughed loudly and walked out of the court in unison. For a while, the persistent media swarmed up, and the crowd was tight.

Lu Fei stopped and stood, facing the camera with a concave shape calmly, leaving enough exposure opportunities for the earphones and mobile phones.

At this time, Guo Xing walked behind him and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Lu, the president of Universal Music wants to take a ride. Do you think it is convenient?"

"Let him come, and save me from going to them."

Lu Fei gave Wang Ben a look, and he saw that he took cover knowingly, forced a way to the bulletproof vehicle, and quickly got into the vehicle in three steps at a time.

After a while, the white stewed egg, which was shining brightly in the sun, followed behind Guo Xing, and the two got into the car one by one.

"drive."

Looking at Doug Morris sitting across from him, Lu Fei took out his wine glass with ease. This car is not only bulletproof and safe, but also top-of-the-line business, and the rear row has a specially designed bar.

Zhang Tianmei smiled and poured wine one by one.

Lu Fei shook his wine glass, "Doug, it's been two weeks, how are you thinking?"

Doug Morris paused when he was about to toast, "Lu, I remember you haven't given us the time to think about it yet?"

"Really? Now I've changed my mind, just these two days."

Lu Fei raised his legs: "I'm even considering whether to change the number of Beats shareholders from 3 to 2."

Doug Morris was taken aback, "Why, Lu?"

"What do you think? Of course it's the lawsuit!"

Lu Fei's eyes flickered and became sharper, "I am a naturally suspicious person. I don't think those small companies dare to do this, and even apply to the court to question me. I very much doubt that there is someone behind them to back them up. Doug, will it be Universal? ?”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Doug Morris blurted out: "Lu, you know me well. I've always been hello, hello, hello everyone."

"Can I still trust you?"

"Of course, I swear on my child!"

"Good!"

Lu Fei smiled and clinked glasses with him, "Then can you tell me Universal's answer now? It's been too long."

"Gollum, Gollum."

Doug Morris raised his neck and drank the wine, "Lu, I'm here to give you the answer you want, we accept your conditions, Universal Music is willing to arrange 3 artists to promote Beats, and guarantee that the situation permits Next, there are at least 2 MVs with beats commercials in the album."

With a little sincerity, there is one more!
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "Who are you going to arrange?"

Doug Morris said generously: "You pick whatever you want, and we will do the work of them and their agents."

"Wayrui Goode! What about the content authorization of Youtube?"

Lu Fei's eyes suggested that Zhang Tianmei poured wine, "You know, I could have taken advantage of the 'safe harbor principle' stipulated in the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but just like my original intention of founding Spotify, it was for the sake of the record industry in the United States. future considerations."

"I know, Lu, you don't have yourself in your heart."

Doug Morris secretly poking rainbow farts.

"That's right, the only big cause is saving the music market." Lu Fei stretched out his hand and raised his glass: "Cheers."

Doug Morris drank heavily and said with a smile: "Lu, we don't want to share [-]% of the YouTube share like Spotify. Our biggest request is to protect the royalties of the copyright owners and strengthen the copyright supervision of uploaded content. This condition is not too much. Bar?"

"No, not at all."

Lu Fei, Guo Xing and the others looked at each other and grinned: "And don't worry, Doug, although you won't be higher than Spotify in terms of sharing ratio, I can guarantee that one day in the future, Youtube will definitely surpass Spotify. Become the number one contributor to the profits of the record industry, and also the best display platform for your contracted musicians, I promise!"

While speaking, the phone rang suddenly.

Zhang Tianmei took a closer look, and offered with both hands: "Mr. Lu, the phone number of the president of Sony Music."

"Look, Doug, Andy's phone, what a coincidence, you bumped into each other as if you had an appointment."

Lu Fei squinted and looked at Guo Xing: "Old Guo, I see that music players and mobile phones will be launched as scheduled, and earphones can be moved forward."

………………

At the same time, in the car running in the opposite direction from Lu Fei's car, Steve Cooper's face has been drawn from the moment he came out of the court, tense as if covered with a layer of paste.

"How's the result of today's inquiry?"

The caller was Edgar Bronfman Jr., pacing up and down in the company's office in New York, anxious and irritable.

"Cut, cut now!"

There was a hint of sternness in Steve Cooper's tone.

"Is there no disadvantage to Lu in questioning?"

Little Edgar Bronfman's heart skipped a beat.

"Unfavorable? It's too favorable. Lu is really a genius."

Steve Cooper couldn't help feeling: "I thought of turning the court inquiry into a show of product promotion. It's a good way. We must immediately talk to Logic about cooperation and investment in Beats. As long as there is Lu, I'm sure this will be a big hit in the future." s brand!"

"what!"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. did not expect his attitude to be so firm, and he said, "Cooper, is this really the only way to go?"

"The outcome is decided! You have to tell the idiots who are the plaintiffs, tell them to be smart, admit defeat obediently, and accept the defeat. We can spare them some time at that time, but if we do something more stupid than interrogating Lu , we were the first to say no."

Steve Cooper seemed to be warning the five independent labels in the lawsuit, but he was actually stalking Edgar Bronfman Jr.

When he heard the sound, his face turned green and white.

Stepping on Lu Fei as a stepping stone, it is useless to wash away the shame!

Even if the situation is reversed, he will continue to kneel in reverse, hugging the thick and hard thigh of logic tightly.

"Not enough, not enough."

Steve Cooper muttered to himself on the phone.

"Not enough for what?"

Little Edgar Bronfman frowned.

"The conditions we negotiated before were not enough."

Steve Cooper's eyes are piercing: "Universal, Sony, and EMI will definitely try their best to please Logic, and Warner must also show Warner's attitude. Lu attaches great importance to YouTube, so we will show the greatest sincerity on YouTube, not only to agree Music license, but also the first to settle in and open a channel.”

is this necessary?is this necessary!
Little Edgar Bronfman felt a sense of uselessness in his chest. He grew up so big that only others licked him, and no one let him lick him.

Falk, why should I lick a Chinese man!

At this moment, high-level executives swarmed in under the guidance of the secretary, each with ugly faces, and the leading vice president brought bad news: "EMI just announced that it supports logic, and even if necessary, it can testify in court to help logic Win this antitrust case."

"Damn it, there's a traitor among us!"

Little Edgar Bronfman, who had been surrounded all the time, was cursing and swearing, his anger went straight to his brain, and he smashed his wine glass on the ground in a rage.

With a bang, the glass shattered.

Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood, everyone was silent, and the assistants quickly cleaned up the mess.

"call!"

Little Edgar Bronfman was panting heavily, taking off his suit and loosening his tie, "It's all the same on the outside and the other on the back, damn it, damn it...how could a Chinese person be allowed to do this in the United States! America doesn't Allow such an arrogant Chinese person to exist! Damn it, why didn't anyone kill him!"

"Cough cough, calm down!"

Steve Cooper was stunned, "Little Edgar, the current Bronfman family is no longer the old Bronfman family. It can no longer stand the toss, and your father can't stand the toss either."

"Sau Rui, don't take it to your heart when you are angry."

When Edgar Bronfman heard about his old father, he regained his sanity a little, and said in a calm tone, "Cooper, tell me, what should we do?"

"EMMI is just issuing a statement. We must firmly support the logic before the other three companies. Immediately arrange a TV interview, prepare a press release, and write the content..."

"Warner Music, as a partner, is very grateful for the copyright protection that Logic has provided in recent years. As for the media reports on Logic's monopoly, the slander is purely slander. It is completely wrong to judge that Logic occupies a dominant position in the digital music market. In fact, Logic Is a powerful protector of the digital music market."

The next day, Edgar Bronfman Jr. appeared on a talk show on the ABC TV News Network, decisively abandoning his car to save his handsome man, and standing in line to support logic.

Almost within a day, Disney, Time Warner, NBC, Viacom and other media have changed their direction.

In a program, Tim Cook expressed solidarity with logic on behalf of Apple, and for the first time ever reached a tacit understanding with the sworn enemy Microsoft:

"Logic, like Apple, not only did not hinder competitors and harm users, but also achieved great success in encouraging competition. The competition between Apple and Logic is the real competitive situation in this industry. The reason why Logic is suspected of monopoly The key is how to define the market.

Because in the 90s, Microsoft also had 90% of the PC market, and it was moving towards the goal of 100%, and it was not considered a monopoly. "

Although the words are inside and outside the box, there are guns and sticks, and the yin and yang are strange to Microsoft, but Microsoft can bear it and endure it, and it will speak out together with Philips, Huacai Patriot, Universal and other companies, and the momentum is huge.

"Sony Music highly praises Logic's determination and ability to crack down on piracy, and protects the interests of musicians... For the beats newly launched yesterday, it has changed the inherent impression of headphones and opened a new era of fashion and fashion. Since then, headphones are no longer It is a headset, a symbol of popular elements."

"Joanne, look, even Sony admits that Logic's new headphones are better, how about you, follow me to buy a pair?"

Meremel stood in the dressing room backstage, took out pieces of clothing from the open metal cabinet, and quickly changed into them.

"It's clearly more fashionable."

Stephanie Joanne rolled her eyes and put her hands in her pockets, "$299? I can't afford this fashion, why don't you save money and record a few more songs for me and mail them to the record company!"

"Speaking of which, hey, how's it going?"

Melmer laughed: "Do you have any company favorites for your electro-pop songs?"

"No, none at all."

Stephanie Joanne shrugged her shoulders: "The number of plays on Youtube is good, with seven to eighty thousand, and one song even exceeded 10."

Melmer said: "I just said, your song is fine, but the name you chose is faulty. 'Stephanie' doesn't look like a star when you hear it. You should give yourself a stage name, lady."

"lady?"

Stephanie Joanne blinked: "How about just using my YouTube name, 'Lady Gaga'?"

Mermel frowned and said, "Why did you choose this name?"

"Because 'Gaga' is my favorite song written by Queen called Radio Ga Ga."

Stephanie Joanne slammed the tin cabinet shut, carried the guitar case, and walked side by side on the exhaust-filled street with Melamel.

The two of them walked through the streets and came to a nearby logical offline physical store. Through the glass, they could easily see that in the bright and simple lobby, 8 of the 4 rows of long tables were filled with Beats earphones. The colors were bright and trendy. Very cool.

Stephanie Joanne was chewing gum, turned her head to look, her eyes were wide open, and she saw a long queue from the door, with no end in sight, and some people even set up tents early to camp, just to grab a pair of Beats headphones.

"Fake, it must be impossible to grab it here, let's look elsewhere."

Melmer spit out gum casually, grabbed Stephanie Joanne, and ran around, visiting every store she was familiar with, either full of people, or sold out, and even when she entered the door, she saw the manager of the store talking. With a loud voice, he hurriedly urged the delivery.

"Mel, I think let's forget about today. Let's buy it after the 'Black Friday' shopping festival. There will definitely be a discount then."

Stephanie Joanne looked around and saw teenagers, young people, students, white-collar workers, black and white, people of all ages, occupations and skin colors crowded together, scrambling for the beats headphones, crowded The picture is magnificent.

"Well, that can only be done."

Melmer sighed depressingly: "There are so many people grabbing $299!"

"I don't understand why either."

Stephanie Joanne looked greatly shocked, and suddenly there was a loud scolding sound from behind, which made her whole body tremble.

They looked back suddenly, and it turned out that a scalper wearing a mask bought 50 pairs of headphones at once, accounting for almost a quarter of the entire shopping mall, and immediately received angry looks from everyone.

He was also keenly aware of the public outrage, and hurriedly walked out of the mall with four bags that were packed separately.

"Mother fuxk! It's because of people like him. I can't buy earphones." Melmel stomped his feet angrily, and in a strange way, he carried the bass and chased him all the way.

Seeing this, Stephanie Joanne had no choice but to follow, and ran to the side of the street with parking meters, and saw the scalper happily loading goods into her car, but she didn't notice a white van suddenly stopped.

"Wow~"

Two masked men quickly got out of the car, surrounded the cattle one after the other, and naturally refused to hand them over, trying to resist.

"Fack squid! You asked for it!"

The masked man cursed and punched the scalper hard in the face, causing blood to flow from his nose.

The scalper seemed to give in, watching helplessly as the masked man carried the earphones into the van, staggered back to the passenger seat, and while they were carrying them, suddenly opened the car door and took out a gun from inside.

"boom!"

The crisp gunshots instantly broke the tranquility of the street.

"what!"

"Oh my God!!"

Stephanie Joanne was flustered, and hurriedly pulled up the already dazed Melamer, and hid under a car, only to hear gunshots coming from her ears.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots continued, and Stephanie Joanne hugged Mermel, who was so frightened that she was crying, and kept praying silently in her heart.

Finally, when the magazine was emptied and the gunfire disappeared, he dared to take the courage to stick out half of his head. In his sight, two masked men were shot several times and fell in a pool of blood.

In the air, there was a faint smell of blood.

　Thank you for sending you to Antarctica to pick up Penguin's 666 starting coins.
