giants of the era

Chapter 123 Issue another ban order!
In ancient China, there was a man named Zhang San. He saved 300 taels of silver after a lot of effort, and he was very happy.But he was always afraid that others would steal it, so he found a box, nailed 300 taels of silver into the box, and buried it in the ground behind the house.However, he was still worried, fearing that others would dig it here, so he came up with a "clever" way to write on a piece of paper: "There is no silver 300 taels here", and stick it on the corner of the wall. gone.

Li Zetian used "there is no silver 300 taels here" to sublimate it into a commercial method, "to hide it", and successfully achieved his goal!

At this time, Zhang Hao pushed away Li Zetian's office and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, as you expected, those Walkman users went to the nearby video store to buy pirated music tapes. According to the undercover agent we sent, Lots of video stores even took orders!"

Li Zetian smiled slightly, took a sip of water from his water glass, and said, "This is expected!"

He put down his water glass and asked, "Have the anti-Walkman record companies responded to this? Are they aware of our purpose?"

"Hmph, what can they notice!" Zhang Han said disdainfully, "It can be said that they didn't pay attention to it at all. They thought it was just a very ordinary little thing...Hmph, it won't be long before they are in bad luck of!"

Li Zetian is not as optimistic as Zhang Hao thought. The reason why the record giant can become a giant is definitely not that simple.

Zhang Han asked: "Mr. Li, what should we do next?"

Li Zetian thought for a while and said one word: "Wait!!!"

"Wait?" Zhang Han asked suspiciously.

"Yes, wait!" Li Zetian said, "The moment when a quantitative change leads to a qualitative change!"

After a pause, Li Zetian continued: "The number of pirated music tapes is small, and it will not be of much use. Only when the number is large, and everyone knows the existence of pirated music tapes, then our Walkman will be able to sell! And here Apple faces an uphill battle before, and we must persevere!"

"Hmm..." Zhang Han nodded.

Record companies are indeed not that easy to deal with.

For the first day or two, the record companies were not aware of Apple's purpose of posting a statement outside the flagship store, but soon understood the purpose of Apple's move.

Record label executives in the anti-Walkman coalition immediately had a conference call.

At the meeting, the CEO of Warner Records revealed Apple's conspiracy!

"Everyone, in the past two days, a statement was posted outside Apple's flagship store, which stated that there were pirated music tapes in certain audio-visual stores. In fact, according to our investigation, there are currently no pirated music tapes in audio-visual stores. On the contrary, countless Walkman users went to audio-visual stores to ask for pirated tapes! As a result, some audio-visual store owners who were blinded by profit began to contact factories to produce pirated tapes, and the orders were huge! I am afraid that it will not be long before the market will be flooded with pirated tapes. It's not that I'm alarmist, this will definitely cause a huge loss to our record company!"

"This must be a conspiracy by Apple to let other factories produce pirated tapes for them!"

"That's right!"

"..."

Everyone started discussing angrily.

"This time, Apple is too cunning to use such shameless means, so that we can't get hold of it at all!"

"This is a conspiracy, and Apple is clearly not afraid of us knowing!"

"Yes, but it underestimates our record company too much! Therefore, we must teach Apple a lesson and let it know how good we are!"

"Most of the sales terminals of pirated tapes are in audio-visual stores, and audio-visual stores must rely on us to survive. As long as we join hands, I don't believe that audio-visual stores will not surrender! Any audio-visual store that dares to sell pirated tapes, we will block it together! "

"That's right, and our banning order this time is legal and reasonable, of course! Even the US government can't stop us, on the contrary, the government should help us solve the piracy problem!"

"Haha, just do it and give Apple a head-on blow!"

"A Chinese still wants to fight against us, it's simply overpowering!!!"

"..."

It didn't take long for the anti-Walkman alliance to issue a "ban order" again, and this time it was publicly announced in front of the media.

"Warner Music, Universal Music, EMI, BMG Records, CBS/Sony Records and many other companies will block any audio-visual store that sells pirated tapes, and will not allow the audio-visual store to sell any of its records!!!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately became the headlines of the media.

There was a panic inside Apple.

Tian Shuai, Zhang Hao, Jobs and others all came to Li Zetian's office.

"Mr. Li, it's not good, the record company issued another ban!!!" Zhang Han shouted anxiously.

Li Zetian smiled and said, "I just read this news in the newspaper."

"Mr. Li, since you already know, how can you still laugh? I'm dying of anxiety!" Zhang Han said.

Li Zetian asked them to sit down first, and then said: "Looking at the problem from a dialectical point of view, everything has two sides. There are advantages and disadvantages! Yes, the record company's ban this time will definitely make many audio-visual stores shrink back. Sell ​​pirated tapes. But at the same time, let more people see the news about pirated tapes..."

"Mr. Li, you mean, the anti-Walkman alliance has done us a big favor this time?" Zhang Hao asked in astonishment.

"Maybe!" Li Zetian laughed, "Apple's announcements posted outside the flagship store can certainly lure audiovisual stores and pirated tape production factories, but the speed of transmission may be slow. But this time it is different. When the ban order was issued, it immediately became the headline of the entertainment news, attracting countless people's attention, and the matter of pirated tapes was naturally included in the news by the media. I don't believe that someone will give up this cake because of the record company's ban order!"

Hearing this, Tian Shuai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The reason why people don't buy the Walkman is because we don't have the music tapes they want to listen to in our store. It's good now, as long as they read the news, they will know the existence of pirated tapes, and people will buy it." Will rekindle the desire to buy the Walkman! Maybe, they will ask where there are pirated tapes. Where there is demand, there is a market. In this respect, the record company has really done us a big favor!"

Zhang Hao said: "But many audio-visual store owners are panic-stricken, and they dare not sell pirated tapes!"

Li Zetian chuckled and said, "Is there no other place where pirated tapes can be sold except audio-visual stores? Zhang Hao, wait for someone to post a statement at the entrance of the flagship store, saying that certain canteens, convenience stores, supermarkets, There are also pirated tapes in bookstores and other places. I advise everyone not to buy them! It would be even better if the media could come to report on them..."

"This……"

Zhang Han was speechless when he heard this.

"This shit is too shameless, but I like it!" He thought in his heart.

After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, you didn't expect the record company to block the video store, so you have already prepared a countermeasure?"

Li Zetian just smiled at him, did not answer, took a sip of water, and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone go to work!"

"Um……"

So, everyone left Li Zetian's office.

Zhang Hao was full of excitement, thinking in his heart, how to write a statement that would make the record company want to vomit blood...
