Naturally, the pressure from the major record companies all over the world is that the U.S. record companies don't sell Avril's records. These auction houses can't offend so many giants for Avril's records.
"What do you do now, Lin?" Avril frowned, did not expect these record companies so vicious, actually through this means to suppress themselves.
Lin Feng a smile, this already in oneself anticipate.
"I didn't plan to sell through record stores from the beginning." Lin Feng said with a smile, "I aimed at the online trading platform from the beginning."
Avril's eyes lit up.
However, it is extremely frustrating that the online sales mode has also been blocked, and all the online trading platforms in the United States have politely refused to sell Avril records.
Hum, I knew you wanted to sell online. Haha, I told you in advance. It's up to you—— Motorcycles are not stupid either. Lin Feng comes from it. Naturally, he guesses that Lin Feng may sell them through online trading platforms, so motorcycles have done a lot of work in advance. Under the pressure of global record companies, no online trading platform is willing to sell Avril's records.
In this case, Lin Feng laughed instead.
"Well, you still laugh. None of other people's records are sold now. Don't forget, the company still has your share. If you lose, you lose money as well. " Avril said angrily.
Lin Feng hugged Avril, took her hand and comforted her, "don't worry, it's all in my expectation. I didn't mean to set up an Internet radio station. I haven't set up it up until now, just to avoid making a fuss. "
Avril was glad to hear that.
"Well, don't worry about it. I'm going to surprise these bullying record companies this time." Lin fengxiao said.
Lin Feng had expected that many record companies would not only ban the sales of record companies, but also online sales. After all, these record companies are absolutely not stupid. On the contrary, they are extremely smart and will naturally prevent online sales. Unfortunately, they did not expect their real intention—— Lin Feng smiles smugly.
Whether "fsn-houston" TV station launched music channel and music station, or contacted "eBay" to sell Avril's two singles, Lin Feng was all trying to confuse these record company executives and make them mistakenly think that their behavior was in their expectation, so that they would take it lightly and take advantage of it.
Otherwise, without waiting for their own actions, these record companies will act in advance, and they will not want to carry out any plans at all. After all, it's the United States, it's other people's territory, and I'm just a passer-by. But it's not Raptors but rivers. Since I want to support Avril and Michael Jackson, I must support them to the end.
In the bewilderment of Avril, Lin Feng contacted Liu YingYing and asked her to send someone to the United States to set up the U.S. branch of "dingdang.com". Lin Feng had expected that "eBay" would not sell Avril's records, and that "eBay" would not sell its own human feelings only because of the enmity between its own "Dingdang" and "eBay" without the pressure of Sony records. When "Dingdang" competed with "eBay" at the beginning, "Dingdang" publicized itself with some embarrassing things of "eBay" (such as selling credit points, auditing materials too hastily, etc.), and the two families had a big feud.
Therefore, since there is no online trading platform willing to sell Avril's records, it's better to sell them yourself. Anyway, "Dingdang" is expanding the Asian market and entering the US market ahead of time. Of course, there are risks. Lin Feng hesitated at first, but he could not afford to lose much money.
Of course, in order to attract attention in the United States and be accepted by American netizens, we must rely on a media Google.
Google is now the world's largest search engine company, accounting for 84.9% of the global search engine market, becoming the preferred search engine website for almost all Americans. As long as Google is willing to push "Dingdang", Lin Feng believes that "Dingdang" can not only have a foothold in the United States, but also open up new markets.
After all, China's goods are extremely cheap. If you sell that country's goods to the United States through B2C trading platform, you can not only earn a lot of profits, but also create foreign exchange income. The state can also have policy preferences. It's definitely a good thing to get more at one stroke.
Of course, there must be a prerequisite for Google to push "Dingdang". Lin Feng owns the shares of "Google". Only in this way, "Google" will push "Dingdang" vigorously, and will not put "Dingdang" in the cold or even screen because of the pressure of other companies or other factors.
The acquisition of Google stock has long been in Lin Feng's plan, but there has been no excuse and opportunity. Last time when he launched "phantom" MP3, Lin Feng met Larry Page, the founder of "Google". Unfortunately, Lin Feng's financing plan was rejected. But last time, Lin Feng was unknown. Now Lin Feng is the third richest person in the world, with enough fame and strength.
After bidding farewell to Avril, Lin Feng drove to Google headquarters in mountain view city, California.
Eric Schmidt, the current president of Google, personally received Lin Feng's visit. After all, Lin Feng now has a different identity, ranking third on the world's rich list, which Google dare not ignore.
"Mr. Schmidt, I'm sorry to call on you." Lin Feng said politely.
"It's an honor for Mr. Lin to come to Google." Eric Schmidt said politely.
Looking at Eric Schmidt in front of him, Lin Feng sighed. If Larry page brings the Google to the world, but the "Google" can win the first profit after the bubble burst in 2000, but it is not Eric Schmidt.
Last year, Google made a profit for the first time, with revenue of $86.4 million and profit of $6.99 million. This year, the financial statements of the first three quarters have increased by 400% over the same period last year. This is an astonishing increase. Under the environment of the burst of the Internet bubble, Google can still achieve such a strong profit growth, and further consolidate the title of "search engine king". Eric Schmidt has made contributions.
Although "Google" is making so much money now and has a bright future, Lin Feng is quite confident in his trip.
"Mr. Schmidt, what do you think of today's search engine market?" Lin Feng steps into the topic with a smile.
"Google is still the absolute king of the search engine market." Eric Schmidt said confidently.
Lin Feng smiles.
"Yes, so far. But at present, Yahoo has taken off the Google logo (no longer using Google search), and Microsoft is also coveting the search engine market. After all, the future is the Internet age, and the search engine is the core of the Internet age. It's like the Internet is a vast ocean, each website is an island in the vast ocean, and the search engine is a ship carrying guests to each island. " Lin Feng said.
Eric Schmidt heard this analogy for the first time, but it's very appropriate, and Lin Feng's assessment of the search engine market is not wrong. Yahoo has fallen out with "Google" and no longer uses "Google's" search engine. Microsoft's "Bing" engine is also trying to seize "Google's" market, although "Google" is booming now, But it doesn't mean there is no crisis.
"What does Mr. Lin mean?" Eric Schmidt asked calmly.
Lin Feng smiles.
"It's very simple. I want to invest in Google and raise money." Lin Feng said lightly.
Eric Schmidt frowned. He also guessed the purpose of Lin Feng's trip, either to advertise or to raise funds. If you want to advertise, Lin Feng doesn't have to come in person. Coming in person can only be for financing "Google". However, recently, Google is indeed preparing for a second financing, and is in contact with major investment banks to find some investment banks that are only willing to buy stock capital and do not have actual control. In order to get more money to fight against "Yahoo" and more powerful "Microsoft".
But Eric Schmidt is worried, because Lin Feng also owns a search engine company - Baidu. Now Baidu is the absolute hegemony of the Chinese mainland's search engine market. Compared to Google's 84.9% share of the world, Baidu's share in the Chinese mainland market is as high as 90%. What is the intention of Lin Feng financing "Google"?
"Mr. Lin, you also own Baidu search engine. What do you mean by financing Google?" Eric Schmidt asked cautiously.
"Ha ha, I'm just a businessman, a businessman who comes purely for profit. I think Google is very valuable for investment, so I'm here. " Lin Feng did not say his purpose. Now the major record companies unite to block Avril record company. Lin Feng must not disclose his intention in advance. Otherwise, once it is publicized, I'm afraid these record companies will try their best to stop it.
Although they can't change Google's decision-making, they can do it with money. There are so many record companies, one is enough to kill Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng has $40 billion in assets, he has only $2.3 billion in cash. Therefore, Lin Feng only supports Avril and Michael Jackson in his own name, not in the name of his company.
Otherwise, the war will burn out. I'm afraid these record companies are very willing to fight with Lin Feng. In case of a real version of "monopoly" game, Lin Feng's assets will be wiped out or even replaced.
"Mr. Schmidt, this is my financing plan. Please have a look." Lin Feng knew that the reason couldn't convince Eric Schmidt, so he used money to convince him.
Eric Schmidt took the contract and looked at it in surprise. Lin Feng has a very good contract and is willing to buy 5% of Google for $500 million, which is far beyond Eric Schmidt's estimate. The current market value of "Google" in this financing is estimated to be about 6 billion US dollars by major investment banks, but Lin Feng has nearly doubled, and only 5% shares. It's very tempting!
Lin Feng also believes that his financing plan is very attractive. Not only the financing price is high, but as long as 5% of the shares, it does not pose any threat to the equity structure of "Google".
But to Lin Feng's surprise, Eric Schmidt finally shook his head and declined Lin Feng's financing plan. Because Lin Feng has "Baidu", it's not safe! Although Baidu is only involved in the Chinese mainland market, what will it do in the future? If we extend our tentacles to the international market, we will definitely fight against Google. At that time, Lin Feng owns 5% of the shares and naturally has the qualification to attend the general meeting of shareholders and the board of directors. At that time, Google will have a headache.
Lin Feng didn't expect to be rejected by Eric Schmidt, but he didn't say much and walked out of Google headquarters with a smile. But out of the "Google" headquarters, Lin Feng's face sank. Without Google, you can't implement your own plan.
At this time, Lin Feng received a call from Microsoft( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
