Rebirth of the Evil Life

Jobs! Lin Feng frowned. Steve Jobs was not Lin Feng’s guest. 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 an open 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 it, otherwise I might have been kicked out." Jobs laughed.

"Here, Mr. Jobs is the president of Apple, but our predecessor is famous in the IT industry. He created Apple, a company that is famous all over the world. Who dares to drive Mr. Jobs away!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Huh! This is not normal! Something weird! Many CEOs were surprised and whispered to each other, exchanging information with each other. Soon, everyone roughly understood the reason for the somewhat frozen atmosphere between the two at the moment.

Steve Jobs' Apple will launch Apple's first mobile phone 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. Both parties are launching new mobile phones at the same time, facing naked competition. In this case, if Steve Jobs came to the ‘Second World’ to advertise, wouldn’t this be a slap in the face? When the two parties jointly launch a new mobile phone next year, the most critical advertising segment in the 'Second World' will be advertising for 'Apple'. Isn't this disturbing to Lin Feng?

There's something good to watch now! Many CEOs were secretly happy and rushed here. Finally able to watch a good show. They wanted to see how Lin Feng would respond to Jobs' strong offensive. Should Steve Jobs be allowed to spend money to advertise in the Second World, or should he directly use Lin Feng’s status as the chairman of the Second World to reject him? And no matter what happens, there will be something good to watch today.

"Mr. Lin, am I qualified to participate in tonight's auction?" Jobs asked with a smile.

Lin Feng looked gloomy. With this move, Jobs really defeated Lin Feng. If allowed, given Apple's financial resources and Jobs' determination to make this trip, I'm afraid there would be no problem in winning the final advertising spot. When. Every time Lin Feng logs into the game, he will see an advertisement for "Apple", which usually doesn't matter. After all, it is impossible for your company's advertising space to be filled with your company's advertisements, that would not make money. Moreover, this kind of overly family-style management and paternalistic support also makes the company less competitive. It’s just next year when both parties jointly launch new products. On my own game website, all I see are ads from the other party. This is really annoying. As for being snatched up the advertising spot by Nokia, Lin Feng didn't care at all. Nokia has aged well since defeating Motorola. After becoming the king of the mobile phone market, Nokia's technological innovation slowed down. Nowadays, Nokia prefers to change its shell and put old wine in a new bottle. Unlike before, it repeatedly launched new products and became a market trend leader.

But at this moment, if Lin Feng refuses, wouldn't today's auction become a joke? And the ‘second world’ is a public company. Listing in the United States is subject to review by the Securities Regulatory Commission. Even if Lin Feng is the chairman of the company. 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. Once "Second World" is delisted, Lin Feng must spend enough funds to recycle the stocks in the market. As for the current stock price of ‘Second World’,

Lam Feng needs to come up with at least hundreds of billions of dollars, and it may cause the "second world" to encounter difficulties in raising funds in the future. In fact, it may even face various difficulties from the Ministry of Commerce of other countries when operating in the market of other countries.

Therefore, Jobs's move was very powerful and caught Lin Feng off guard.

Jobs smiled. 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. The fact that Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" was about to launch a new mobile phone made Jobs very worried. According to some information he has obtained, this new mobile phone from Phantom Technology is probably very impressive. It may be truly epoch-making, and it may have something in common with Apple's mobile phone.

According to Jobs' analysis, if both parties launch mobile phones at the same time, Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" mobile phone may be more popular than "Apple". For the future of Apple, Jobs had no choice but to come here and choose to start fighting back against Lin Feng in this advertising auction. I hope that we can gain the upper hand before the mobile phones of both parties are launched. He is not as ignorant as the other company presidents here. He has conducted detailed investigations on the gaming crowd in the 'second world', their daily gaming time, and the money players invest in the game in a year. These were investigations he conducted at his own expense, and the results made him feel terrible.

The Second World is a gold mine that can never stop flowing. Although the Second World only has games and computer hardware, these two are the most indispensable. Games are the best entertainment for humans to kill time, while computer hardware is an indispensable tool for games. Lin Feng has perfectly combined these two. He even began to impact other fields. For example, Microsoft was killed by Lin Feng in its most dominant field, the operating system market. Although Apple now occupies a very unique position in the notebook computer market, this market is now also slowly being penetrated by Lin Feng. The Ultrabook developed by Lin Feng occupies an increasingly important position in the notebook computer market. Apple's profits have been directly affected, and Jobs has to open up new markets for Apple. Mobile phones are what Jobs values. Of course, in addition to mobile phones, there is another product under research. But now, mobile phones are the top priority. Since mobile phones are the top priority, Jobs will never allow the mobile phones he developed to be suppressed by Lin Feng again. Last time the two sides jointly launched the MP3 player, Jobs was severely slapped by Lin Feng. If it weren't for Apple's counterattack with copyright, which made Lin Feng finally choose to withdraw from the MP3 player market, Apple would have suffered a big loss. However, there is no song copyright in the mobile phone market. In this regard, once Lin Feng suppressed it, the billions of dollars of research and development expenses invested by Apple in recent years would be completely lost.

So, being a little mean is nothing. Everyone is just serving their own masters. And in the business world, it is common to play tricks. In this battlefield, success or failure is the only thing that matters, not means.

"Mr. Lin, am I qualified?" Jobs asked again with a smile.

Lin Feng took a breath and regained his mind.

"Mr. Jobs is interested in tonight's auction, that's the best. Please sit down! Come on, bring a chair to Mr. Jobs!" Lin Feng said loudly.

Jobs smiled and waited for the staff to bring a chair, and smiled and sat aside. Although it was very abrupt to suddenly have an extra chair, Jobs didn't care at all. He was totally unaware of the frequent stares from all around. These surprised looks were like nothing in Jobs' eyes.

"Beautiful Melissa, I bid 100 million for 3 years." Jobs smiled and raised his hand.

As Lin Feng's secretary, Melissa naturally knew the trouble that Jobs's move had brought to Lin Feng. She smiled sweetly immediately.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Jobs' generous bid, but tonight we are only auctioning the advertising rights for one month. Mr. Jobs, please make a new bid?" Melissa smiled and used the advertising time to limit Jobs's auction.

Jobs smiled. Since he came, it was naturally impossible for him to bid only for one month's advertising price.

"Mr. Lin, a 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 may not have any effect at all. Except for the competitive advertising price, such as the Olympics and the 'Super Bowl', one-time advertising will be carried out. You are only auctioning one month's advertising, which is really insincere! I think it's better to bid for a year." Jobs protested.

Lin Feng frowned and was about to refute.

"Yes, I think one year is better. One month is a joke, it's clearly teasing us!" Mitsubishi Motors President Nishioka Joe shouted loudly.

"Yes, what effect can a month of advertising have? It's clearly teasing us! Such an insincere advertising auction requires us to be at least at the level of presidents to participate. This is too insincere!" The other presidents protested.

"If it's insincere, we'll leave!" Many presidents even stood up and turned to leave.

For these presidents, today's auction may have nothing to do with them. But it's still okay to make a scene. As for why they do this, it is in line with an old Chinese saying-watching a play is not afraid of the stage being high. It's so interesting that Jobs and Lin Feng are competing against each other. They don't want Lin Feng to avoid the battle and let a "war" dissipate. If that happens, it will be really boring.

Of course, there is another reason for them to do this, that is, Lin Feng is too young. So young, but so successful, this is too enviable! Envy, jealousy and hatred are not exclusive to ordinary people. CEOs also feel jealousy, and even more so! (To be continued)
