Chapter 322: Driving the tiger away from the mountain

"Europe!" Lin Feng stared at Jobs with his eyes like a goshawk, and uttered two words that shocked Jobs.

Many reporters naturally saw that Lin Feng was declaring war on Jobs. While disdainful of Lin Feng, they also recorded it in their minds, thinking about tomorrow's headline. The two companies entered the European market from the US market.

It’s exciting to think about it. There is so much for their reporters to do.

Damn it, why did he go to Europe! - Jobs said angrily. Apple does not have many iPods in stock now, and most of the iPods are sold in the United States. According to Jobs's plan, the iPod will be released on Christmas Day in December.

Previously, he entered the European market to seize the Christmas market. But now Lin Feng has landed in Europe ahead of schedule, which forced Jobs' plan to advance, but "Apple" did not have excess inventory.

Damn it! - Jobs cursed secretly. This time Lin Feng just hit the lifeline of "Apple".

Lin Feng did not know that there was not much inventory of "iPod", but the US market had failed, and Lin Feng did not think of any good strategies in the short term. Lin Feng could only seize the third-party market. The European market was naturally Lin Feng's first choice.

"Stephen, see you in Europe!" Lin Feng said, turned around and left.

Jobs had a gloomy look on his face. Although many reporters were a little dissatisfied with Lin Feng's arrogance, Jobs, the real owner, didn't say anything. As reporters, they naturally wouldn't play tricks on dogs and mice, but they recorded it all in their pens. Tomorrow

The newspaper has a headline.

"Loser Lin Feng challenges "Apple" again - see you in Europe!".

After Lin Feng left, many reporters at the scene naturally gathered around Jobs and asked him whether he would accept the challenge and whether the "ipod" would enter the European market and compete with Lin Feng's "Phantom" in the European market.

Many reporters were so obsessed with the feud between Lin Feng and Steve Jobs that what was supposed to be a press conference for the second generation of "iPod" became a press conference for Lin Feng to once again declare war on "Apple". No reporter cared about the second generation "ipod" product anymore.

, as for Britney Spears, who was supposed to be the protagonist, she was even ignored. This made her extremely angry with her strong self-esteem.

"Stephen, my new album will be released soon. I will go to Europe to promote the album, and I will help you promote the 'ipod'." Britney Spears suddenly walked off the stage and said angrily.

Everyone was surprised for a while, and then ecstatic. What Britney Spears said undoubtedly meant that she would challenge, and this was even bigger news. Especially looking at the angry look on Britney's face when she spoke, she was obviously very angry with Lin Feng. But

It should also be the first time that Britney and Lin Feng met. Why is she so angry with Lin Feng? This is another news hot spot that can be explored.

However, although Britney Spears's challenge has excited many reporters, there is still a prerequisite for this "war" to start - Jobs must accept Lin Feng's declaration of war. If the "ipod" does not enter Europe

market, there would undoubtedly be no news. Without Jobs's confrontation, it would undoubtedly be ridiculous to just hype the feud between Britney Spears and Lin Feng, and the public would not be too interested in it. They think

It can't be hyped up.

Many reporters couldn't help but look at Jobs.

Britney Spears' declaration was beyond Jobs' expectations. Although I don't know why Britney Spears stood up so strongly for "Apple", it is a good thing for Jobs. Lam Feng wants to seize the European market.

, "ipod" has to respond, otherwise the European market will definitely be robbed by Lin Feng's "Phantom".

In the U.S. market, the reason why the "ipod" defeated the "Phantom" and not even one was sold was because, in addition to Jobs's promotional methods, there was another point that was extremely critical - preconceptions.

Two mp3 players with almost the same appearance, "ipod" has local advantages. Naturally, "Phantom" has entered the US domestic market early. When "Phantom" comes back, American consumers have already accepted "ipod", and "Phantom" naturally does not.

What a market.

The same is true now in the European market, whoever enters first will have the advantage.

Jobs now has to respond. Although there is not much inventory, he just needs to adjust his strategy appropriately. For the time being, he will compete with Lin Feng in the European market. The US market can be put aside for the time being. And this time Britannia Brannic is willing to go to Europe to help.

Publicity is undoubtedly a huge help for "ipod" to seize the European market.

Although Jobs did not respond to Lin Feng's declaration of war in front of many reporters, many reporters had already seen from his expression that Jobs accepted Lin Feng's declaration of war. At that moment, he felt ecstatic. This time they will definitely not worry about sales, and they will definitely let people know tomorrow.

People across the United States are excited.

Outside the "Apple" company, Tan Zhi was waiting in the car. He originally proposed that he and Lin Feng go there so that he could help Lin Feng with some questions. Lin Feng is now the boss of the company, he is only the CEO, and it is difficult to answer any questions.

The biggest problem is that Tan Zhiguang will admit defeat, but Lin Feng cannot admit defeat. It is not only related to the company's face, but also related to whether "Phantom" can rise in the US market in the future.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng asked him to wait outside. This made Tan Zhi extremely confused, wondering how much ridicule Lin Feng would suffer inside.

In the midst of the tangle, Lin Feng came out with a smile on his face.

"Boss, inside..." Tan Zhi wanted to ask, but didn't know how to speak. Although Lin Feng was smiling, who knew whether Lin Feng was forcing his smile.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm fine. I just went in to declare war!" Lin Feng smiled and patted Tan Zhi on the shoulder.

"Declare war?" Tan Zhi was stunned.

"Yes, I told Steve Jobs that I would give up the US market and prepare to enter the European market." Lin Feng looked at the night sky and exhaled a long breath.

Tan Zhi looked stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Feng would announce that he would give up the US market and enter the European market after entering for a while, and also declare war on Steve Jobs in person. This is really surprising! Tan Zhi suddenly felt that he seemed to be really old.

I can’t keep up with Lin Feng’s pace. Although, he is only 46 years old this year and is still very young.

But Tan Zhi had to admire Lin Feng's courage. If it were him, even if he really decided to give up the US market and enter the European market, he would not tell Jobs. Maybe this is why he can only serve as CEO.

The reason why he couldn't start his own company was that he wasn't grand enough and courageous enough. Fortunately, Lin Feng had all these and he just had to do his essential job well.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. He had no choice but to give up the US market this time. Now Jobs is attacking "Phantom" one after another. Now it is more difficult for "Phantom" to gain a foothold in the United States than Lin Feng imagined. In this case,

Why not give up this market temporarily and seize other markets. As for declaring war on Steve Jobs face to face, Lin Feng did not have to do so. However, Lin Feng was not convinced. The "Phantom" was definitely not as bad as it is now, and even one unit could not be sold.

For the sake of face and to prove the "phantom", Lin Feng must declare war on Steve Jobs.

Otherwise, in the future, "Apple" will use the record of zero sales of "Phantom" in the US market to attack "Phantom". Based on the psychology of consumers, they will definitely abandon "Phantom" and choose "iPod". Not only will they not be able to enter the US market, but they will also be unable to seize the European market.

The market, even the Asian market, is difficult to maintain.

At the same time, Lin Feng also had another meaning. Lin Feng wanted to divert Jobs' attention to Europe. He not only wanted to defeat Jobs in the European market, but also defeated Jobs in the American market. Although Lin Feng said that he had given up on the American market, that was not the case.

Really gave up.

Taking a step back does not mean that I admit defeat; letting go does not mean that I give up. All this is just a delaying tactic of Lin Feng, a strategy to retreat in order to advance.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, let's go to the European market and bring back the humiliation of failure in the American market." Tan Zhi nodded and made up his mind.

"No, Mr. Tan, you stay, I will go to Europe by myself." Lin Feng shook his head and said.

Tan Zhi was stunned.

"Mr. Tan, I have not decided to really give up on the US market." Lin Feng smiled strangely.

Tan Zhi was really confused and looked at a loss.

"Haha, Mr. Tan, regarding the memory capacity problem of our 'Phantom', it cannot be solved with hardware for the time being, but it can be solved with software," Lin Feng said.

Can it be solved through software? - Tan Zhi was stunned and waited for Lin Feng to continue.

"Mr. Tan, Microsoft has just launched www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.comdows-media-audio), which is a new audio format launched by Microsoft that is as famous as the mp3 format. Microsoft claims that: the same file size is smaller than mp3

It is twice as small but the sound quality remains the same. Of course, this is as ridiculous as Microsoft announcing that its operating system will not have a basketball screen. But one thing is true. In the audition of 128kbps and below code streams, wma completely surpassed the mp3 format.

The king of code streams is not undeserved. However, when the code stream increases to 128kbp, the sound quality of wma does not improve as much as mp3 does with the increase of code stream.

Tan Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing Lin Feng's explanation. The data rate of 128kbps is enough to meet the needs of most people. If the problem can be solved in software and the capacity is doubled, it will be huge for "Phantom"

Good thing. When 128m flash memory becomes popular early next year, the "Phantom" will have a capacity of 256m using the WMA format. Although it is still far inferior to the 4g capacity of the second generation "iPod", it is enough to meet normal applications.
