Chapter 123 Another Blocking Order!

In ancient China, there was a man named Zhang San. He spent a lot of effort to save three hundred taels of silver, and he was very happy. But he was always afraid that it would be stolen by others, so he found a box, put the three hundred taels of silver in the box, and then buried it under the ground behind his house. But he was still worried, fearing that others would come here to dig, so he thought of a "clever" way. He wrote on a piece of paper: "There are no three hundred taels of silver here" and pasted it on the corner of the wall. Then he felt relieved. The ground is gone.

Li Zetian took advantage of "there is no three hundred taels of silver here" and sublimated it into a business method, "hiding the truth", 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 nearby video stores to buy pirated music tapes. According to the undercover we sent, Many video stores even took orders!”

Li Zetian smiled slightly, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, and said, "This is expected!"

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

"Humph, what can they detect!" Zhang Hao said disdainfully, "It can be said that it didn't attract their attention at all. They regarded it as just a very ordinary little thing... Humph, it won't be long before they are in big trouble. of!"

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

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

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

"Wait?" Zhang Hao asked confused.

"Yes, wait!" Li Zetian said, "The moment when equal quantitative change causes qualitative change!"

After a pause, Li Zetian continued: "The number of pirated music tapes is small and it will not have any effect. Only if the number is large and everyone knows the existence of pirated music tapes, then our Walkman will be able to sell it! And here! Apple will face an arduous and protracted battle before now, and we must persevere!"

"Well..." Zhang Hao nodded.

Record companies are indeed not that easy to deal with.

In the first day or two, the record company was not aware of Apple's purpose of posting a notice outside the flagship store, but they soon understood the purpose of Apple's move.

Record company executives within the anti-Walkman coalition immediately held 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, saying that pirated music tapes have appeared in some video stores. In fact, according to our investigation, there are currently no pirated music tapes in the video stores. On the contrary, countless Walkman users went to video stores and asked to buy pirated tapes! As a result, some profit-seeking video store owners began to contact factories to produce pirated tapes, and the orders were huge! I'm afraid it won't be long before the market will be flooded with pirated tapes. I’m not being alarmist, this will definitely cause huge losses 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 talking angrily.

"This time, Apple is so cunning and uses such shameless means that we can't get a handle on it at all!"

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

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

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

"That's right, and our ban 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 person still wants to go against us, he is simply overestimating his capabilities!!!"

"..."

Not long after, the Anti-Walkman Alliance issued a "blocking order" again, and this time it was announced publicly in front of the media.

"Any video store that sells pirated tapes will be blocked by Warner Records, Universal Music, EMI, BMG Records, CBS/Sony Records and many other companies, and the store will not be allowed to sell any of its records!!!"

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

There was panic inside Apple.

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

"Mr. Li, no good, the record company has issued a banning order again!!!" Zhang Han shouted with an uneasy look.

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 almost dying of anxiety!" Zhang Hao 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, and there must be advantages and disadvantages! Yes, the record company's banning order this time will definitely make many video stores shrink and dare not Selling pirated tapes. But at the same time, more people have seen the news about pirated tapes..."

"Mr. Li, are you saying that the Anti-Walkman Alliance did us a big favor this time?" Zhang Hao asked in astonishment.

"Maybe!" Li Zetian laughed. "Apple's statement posted outside the flagship store can certainly lure video stores and pirated tape production factories, but the spread may be very slow. But this time it is different. The Anti-Walkman Alliance is again When the ban order was issued, it immediately became the headlines of entertainment news and attracted the attention of countless people. The matter of pirated tapes was naturally included in the news by the media. I don’t believe that someone would give up this piece of cake because of the ban order from the record company!”

When Tian Shuai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The reason why people don't buy Walkman is because we don't have the music tapes they want to listen to in our store. But now, as long as they read the news, they will know the existence of pirated tapes, and people will The desire to buy a Walkman will be rekindled! Maybe, they will also ask where to buy pirated tapes. If there is demand, there will be a market. From this aspect, the record company has really done us a big favor!"

Zhang Hao said: "But many video store owners are too scared to sell pirated tapes!"

Li Zetian chuckled and said: "Apart from audio and video stores, there are no other places where pirated tapes can be sold. Zhang Hao, please wait for someone to post a statement at the door of the flagship store, saying that some canteens, convenience stores, supermarkets, Pirated tapes have also appeared in bookstores and other places, so I advise everyone not to buy them! It would be better if the media can report it..."

"this……"

Zhang Hao was speechless after hearing this.

"This is so shameless, but I like it!" he thought in his heart.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, didn't you already expect that the record company would ban the video store, so you had already prepared the next step?"

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

"Um……"

So, everyone left Li Zetian's office.

Zhang Hao's face was full of excitement, and he was thinking about how to write a statement that would make the record company want to vomit blood...
