Chapter 3627 Am I qualified?
Jobs! Lin Feng frowned. Jobs was not Lin Feng’s client. There was no ‘Apple’ in the list of previous advertisers.
"Why, Mr. Lin doesn't seem to welcome me as an uninvited guest!" Jobs stepped forward with a smile.
"No, welcome, this is a public auction, I welcome anyone who comes!" Lin Feng smiled slightly, temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile.
"Haha, that's good. Our 'Apple' didn't get an invitation this time. It's hard for me to appear on the red carpet before. But I'm particularly interested in this advertising auction, so I have to be a part of it.
I'm an uninvited guest. Fortunately, Mr. Lin was very tolerant and didn't pursue the matter, otherwise I might have been kicked out." Jobs chuckled.
"Here, Mr. Jobs is the president of Apple, but our predecessors are well-known in the IT industry. The company they created, Apple, is world-renowned. Who dares to drive Mr. Jobs away!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Eh! This is not normal! There is something weird! Many CEOs were surprised and whispered to each other, exchanging information. Soon, everyone roughly understood the reason for the somewhat solid atmosphere between the two at the moment.
Steve Jobs' Apple will launch the first mobile phone in Apple's history early next year, which is said to be a ground-breaking new mobile phone. At the same time, Lin Feng also announced that he will launch a new mobile phone early next year. The two parties are in talks
Launching a new mobile phone at the same time is facing naked competition. In this case, Steve Jobs came to the "Second World" to advertise. Isn't this a slap in the face? When the two parties jointly launch a new mobile phone next year, the result will be in the "Second World"
The most important advertising segment in the world is advertising for Apple. Isn't this disturbing to Lin Feng?
Now there is a good show! Many CEOs were secretly happy. They rushed here. They could finally watch a good show. They wanted to see how Lin Feng would respond to Jobs's strong offensive. Yes.
Did Steve Jobs spend money to advertise in the 'Second World', or did he directly use Lin Feng's status as the chairman of the 'Second World' to reject him? Regardless, there will be a good show today.
"Mr. Lin, am I qualified to participate in tonight's auction?" Jobs asked with a smile.
Lin Feng looked gloomy. Jobs' move really defeated Lin Feng. If allowed, with Apple's financial resources and Jobs's determination, I'm afraid there would be no problem in winning the final advertising position.
At that time, every time Lin Feng logs into the game, he will see the advertisement of "Apple". This usually doesn't matter. After all, it is impossible for his company's advertisements to be displayed in his company's advertising space. It will not make money. And this is too family-style.
Poor management and paternalistic support also make the company less competitive. But next year, when both parties jointly launch new products, all they see on their own game websites are the other party's advertisements. This is really annoying. As for,
Lin Feng didn't care at all about being snatched up the advertising spot by Nokia. Nokia is already old. Since it defeated Motorola and became the throne of the mobile phone market, Nokia's technological innovation has slowed down. Now Nokia is more interested in changing.
Shell, put old wine in a new bottle. Unlike before, it repeatedly launched new products and became a market trend leader.
It's just that at this moment, if Lin Feng refuses, wouldn't today's auction become a joke? Moreover, the 'Second World' is a listed company. Listing in the United States is subject to the review of the Securities Regulatory Commission. Even if Lin Feng is a company owner
Chairman. But if Lin Feng makes a decision that is unfavorable to the company, the China Securities Regulatory Commission has the right to review it, and can even strongly require Lin Feng to no longer participate in any management of the company, or even make a decision to delist Second World.
decision. Once 'Second World' is delisted, then Lam Feng must spend enough funds to recycle the stocks in the market. And based on the current stock price of 'Second World', Lam Feng will need to spend at least hundreds of billions.
U.S. dollar funds, and may cause the 'second world' to encounter difficulties in raising funds in the future. It may even face various difficulties from the Ministry of Commerce of that country when operating in the markets of other countries.
Therefore, Jobs's move was very powerful and caught Lin Feng off guard.
Jobs had a smile on his face. Although he seemed to have the upper hand at the moment, he was not so happy in his heart. The reason why he came here was because he was very worried about Lin Feng's company. Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" was about to launch a new
The matter of the mobile phone made Steve Jobs very worried. According to some information he obtained, this new mobile phone of Phantom Technology is probably very incredible. It may be truly epoch-making, and it may be the same as Apple's mobile phone.
have something in common.
According to Jobs' analysis, if both parties launch mobile phones at the same time, the mobile phones of Linfeng's Phantom Technology may be more popular than Apple's. For the future of Apple, Jobs had no choice but to come here and choose to participate in this advertising auction.
He began to fight back against Lin Feng. He hoped to gain the upper hand before the mobile phones of both parties were launched. He was not as ignorant as the CEOs of other companies here. He had no understanding of the gaming crowd in the 'second world', their daily gaming time, and the players.
The money invested in the game for a year was related to detailed investigations. These investigations were conducted out of his own pocket, and the results of the investigation made him feel terrible.
The 'Second World' is an endless gold mine. Even though the 'Second World' currently only has games and computer hardware, these two are the most indispensable. Games are the best entertainment for humans to kill time.
Computer hardware is an indispensable tool for games. Lin Feng perfectly combines the two. It has even begun to impact other fields. For example, Microsoft was defeated by Lin Feng in its most dominant field——
The operating system market is booming.
Although 'Apple' currently occupies a very unique position in the notebook computer market, this market is now slowly being penetrated by Lin Feng. The 'ultrabook' developed by Lin Feng is occupying an increasingly important position in the notebook market.
status. Apple's profits were directly affected. Jobs had to open up new markets for Apple. Mobile phones were what Jobs valued. Of course, in addition to mobile phones, there was another product being studied. But now, mobile phones are the most important thing.
The most important thing.
Since mobile phones are the top priority, Steve Jobs will never allow the mobile phones he develops to be overpowered by Lin Feng. The last time the two parties jointly launched the 'mp3 player', Steve Jobs was severely slapped by Lin Feng. If it weren't for
Later, Apple relied on copyright to fight back, and Lin Feng finally chose to withdraw from the MP3 player market. I am afraid that Apple would have suffered a big loss that time. But in the mobile phone market, there is no song copyright. In this regard, once Lin Feng was
If the wind is suppressed, the billions of dollars in research and development expenses Apple has invested over the years will be completely wasted.
Therefore, being a little despicable is nothing. Everyone is just his own master. And in the shopping mall, it is common to use tricks. In this battlefield, success or failure only matters, regardless of means.
"Mr. Lin, am I qualified?" Jobs asked again with a smile.
Lin Feng took a breath and recovered his mind.
"Mr. Jobs is interested in tonight's auction, that's the best thing. Please take a seat! Someone, bring a chair to Mr. Jobs!" Lin Feng said loudly.
Jobs smiled and waited for the staff to bring a chair, then sat aside with a smile. Although the sudden addition of a chair was very unexpected, Jobs didn't care at all. He was completely unaware of the frequent gazes from around him. These surprised looks in Jobs's eyes
, as if nothing.
"Beautiful Melissa, I offer 100 million in three years." Jobs said with a smile and raised his hand.
As Lin Feng's secretary, Melissa was naturally aware of the trouble that Jobs' move had brought to Lin Feng. She immediately smiled sweetly.
"I'm very grateful to Mr. Jobs for his generous bid, but tonight we are only auctioning one month's advertising rights. Mr. Jobs, could you please bid again?" Melissa smiled and used advertising time to limit Jobs' auction.
But Jobs smiled. Since he is here, he cannot just do it for a month's advertising price.
"Mr. Lin, one month's advertising space is difficult for an advertiser to have any effect. Most of our companies advertise, and a contract will be signed for at least half a year. Otherwise, one month or two months, I'm afraid there will be no effect at all.
What is the effect? Except for the kind of competitive advertising price, such as the Olympics and the Super Bowl, only one-time advertising will be carried out. You only auction ads for one month, which is really insincere! I think it is better to do it for one year.
.” Jobs raised the protest.
Lin Feng frowned and was about to refute.
"Yes, I think one year is better. One month is a complete joke and is clearly teasing us!" Mitsubishi Motors President Joe Nishioka shouted.
"Yes, what effect can one month of advertising have? You are clearly teasing us! Such an insincere advertising auction requires us to be at least the CEO level to participate. This is so insincere!" The other CEOs started talking one after another.
Protest.
"If you're not sincere, we'll leave!" Many CEOs even stood up and turned to leave.
For CEOs like them, today's auction probably has nothing to do with them. However, it is still okay to make a fuss and make a fuss. As for why this is done, this is in line with an old Chinese saying - watching a show.
Don't be afraid of heights. It's so interesting that Steve Jobs and Lin Feng are fighting against each other. They don't want Lin Feng to avoid the fight and let a 'war' dissipate. If that were the case, it would be really boring.
Of course, there is another reason for them to do this, and that is that Lin Feng is too young. Being so young and yet so successful is so enviable! Envy, jealousy and hatred are by no means the exclusive domain of common people, CEOs like them also
