"By the way, after communicating with the major domestic record companies, we said that we want to buy their electronic music rights. ”

"Electronic music rights?"

Li Nan was a little strange: "Now the songs on the Internet don't seem to cost money." ”

"It's not that you don't want money, it's that all the songs on the Internet are pirated right now. ”

Chen Yu was helpless.

Even Li Nan thinks that the songs on the Internet don't need money, and if this phenomenon continues to happen, even if it is explicitly banned in the future, it is estimated that it will be useless.

"We are a formal company, and we have to take the lead in using genuine products. Moreover, in the final analysis, the future music website war is actually a copyright war, once the copyright awareness of the major record companies awakens, and once the state supports it, whoever has more music copyrights will be able to win the battle. ”

QQ Music in the previous life, NetEase Cloud Music...... The reason for its success is the acquisition of a large number of music copyrights.

As for Qianqian Jingting, who was very famous before, there has been no movement since it was acquired by Baidu.

The reason why this is so is because Baidu does not pay attention to copyright.

Similarly, because Baidu does not attach importance to copyright, the later Baidu MP3 super traffic business has been cut.

It's not that Baidu doesn't want to do it, it's just that the pressure from the top is too great, and they don't dare to pirate anymore.

Of course, this doesn't just mean music.

In the video website war, it is also a copyright war.

At this time, everyone is not aware of copyright, and it is completely possible to get rid of it at a very low price.

"I immediately sent someone to communicate with the major record companies. ”

Although Li Nan could not predict the future generations, he also understood the importance of copyright.

Once copyright is really valued in the future, the copyright in their hands will be a huge treasure.

Everything went well.

After Huanyu Technology came forward to communicate with the major record companies, the major record companies almost did not refuse.

This is not surprising.

The Internet has just developed, not to mention that ordinary netizens have no awareness of electronic music copyright, and major record companies also have some confusion about the so-called electronic music copyright. Coupled with the fact that countless music sources can be found on the Internet with a casual search, they subconsciously never think about electronic music copyrights at all.

At this time, Huanyu Technology wants to buy, it is simply giving money for nothing.

Why don't you do the thing of giving money for nothing?

Of course, although I think so, the major record companies still take precautions.

Worried that Huanyu Technology had purchased these copyrights to make physical records, they restricted Huanyu Technology from making physical music records in the terms. For this, Huanyu Technology said that there is no problem. They never wanted to make physical records, they really just wanted electronic music rights.

"Mr. Chen, it's done. ”

"Great, how much did it cost?"

"50 million. ”

"So cheap. ”

Chen Yu was extremely happy.

"When they heard that we were going to buy the rights to electronic music, they didn't even talk about the price. ”

"That's it, this kind of thing of giving money for nothing, I don't bargain for me. ”

Chen Yu said with a smile.

50 million seems like a lot of money.

But 50 million corresponds to about 500,000 songs.

Yes.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, there are about 700,000 songs in China.

There are also 200,000 songs, some of which are in the hands of some small record companies, some of which have even gone out of business, and some of which are in the hands of individuals, and they cannot be bought for the time being. However, it doesn't matter, basically more than 99.9% of the popular songs in the world are bought here.

The price of 500,000 songs is 50 million RMB.

In this way, the price of each song is only 100 yuan.

It's not too cost-effective.

Of course, at present, even if it is 100 yuan, many people will not come out.

In their words, if there is no free one, why spend money on copyrights.

But Chen Yu is willing to be this fool first.

Now he can buy these songs back for 50 million yuan, and in a few years, the songs in the 500,000 music library will increase tenfold. Even if it is more than ten years later, it is possible to increase it by 100 times.

"Oh, how about that scraper?"

"Bought it. ”

"It's so easy, how much does it cost?"

"1 million. ”

"It's only 1 million. ”

Chen Yu was surprised again.

"Mr. Chen, in fact, 1 million is a lot, this is the price quoted by Xie Zhenyi, the founder of Soscrap.com. At that time, he also felt that the price might be too high, and the price in his heart was 800,000, but he didn't expect me to agree directly. ”

"It shouldn't be. ”

Chen Yu still finds it incredible.

Li Nan said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, don't you know, although Soscrape has a lot of traffic, it really can't make any money. Although everyone will search for songs on the Internet, he can't incur expenses on his own. At present, the biggest business of Soscrap.com is advertising, but Mr. Chen, you all know that the current simple web advertising model can't even survive the portal, let alone a small music website. ”

"Alas, I am really poor. ”

Chen Yu also understood.

Although the Internet makes money, it also has to make money.

In the early days, let alone making money, the Internet was simply a bottomless pit.

Even if you have millions of traffic, but the traffic cannot be monetized, you can't escape death.

QQ was so poor that it was almost sold for 600,000 yuan.

But even now, just QQ instant messaging is not profitable.

If you can hold on, maybe there will be a sunny day ahead.

If you can't make it through, you can die in a minute.

This reminded Chen Yu of the video website of Principal Wang in his previous life, with such a large amount of traffic, he said that he would go out of business.

It can be seen that although traffic is a beautiful thing, if you fail to monetize the traffic, it is in vain. ”

"How many of the employees over there will come?"

"Mr. Chen, you may not believe it, there is only one person operating from Soscrap.com. ”

"Alone?"

"Yes. ”

Li Nan took out the information of the founder of Sou.com: "The founder of Sou.com is called Xie Zhenyi, and he graduated from the Department of Computer Science of CUHK. I used to do technology development at China Merchants Bank, and later created Soscrap.com on my own. However, in 2000, the Internet bubble almost brought Soscraper out of business, and only recently did it accept some advertisements, barely able to maintain its daily operations. ”

"This is really similar to our Huanyu Technology back then. ”

This reminded Chen Yu of himself.

At that time, there were only a few people in Huanyu Technology.

"Then will he come?"

The acquisition of this website is small, and Chen Yu values people the most.

A technical expert who can create a search network and create a search for mp3 audio source mode, Chen Yu naturally wants to dig him into his own.

"Come on. ”

Li Nan said: "He said to pack up and come over in a few days. ”

"Well, call him to my office then. ”

"Yes. ”

......

A few days later, Li Nan walked into Chen Yu's office with a man with glasses.

Chen Yu took a look, a typical engineering man + otaku.

"Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Xie Zhenyi. ”

"This is our Mr. Chen. ”

"You may be seated. ”

It's just that just when Chen Yu thought that the man in front of him was the same as the traditional engineering man. Xie Zhenyi came to Chen Yu in an extremely enthusiastic trotting style, held Chen Yu's hands tightly and said: "Mr. Chen, my admiration for you is like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control......

"What's the ......?"

Chen Yu was stunned and looked at Li Nan.

Li Nan was also blinded, how did he know how Xie Zhenyi could make such a play.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie. ”

Li Nan coughed heavily.

But Xie Zhenyi smiled: "Mr. Li, really, I am doing this from the heart." ”

"I didn't expect Xie to always be such a technical expert. ”

Chen Yuwan smiled, feeling funny.

"Mr. Chen, there is no way, it is very boring to do technology, and I have to find some fun for myself at home every day. ”

Xie Zhenyi is not like a traditional technical man, in Chen Yu's words, he has a very funny temperament.

This made Chen Yu feel a little kind.

"Li Nan, you get busy first, I'll talk to Mr. Xie. ”

Chen Yu came to Xie Zhenyi and sat down opposite him: "Mr. Xie, how is it, you are still used to coming here." ”

"Habit, it's so used to it, you don't know that it's boring to run a website alone. ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Chen Yu nodded with a smile: "Did Mr. Li tell you about the current situation on our side?" ”

"Mr. Li said something, and I'm also thinking about our direction these days. ”

"Tell me. ”

"Mr. Chen, I think our electronic music legalization is very promising. ”

"But now there is so much piracy on the Internet. ”

"It's hard to get rid of piracy, but it's easy to get rid of some of it. For example, this website was created by me personally. If the company reports my infringement to the relevant departments after getting the copyright, I will surrender in minutes. ”

"Hehe......"

Chen Yule was happy.

"Mr. Chen, I'm telling the truth, I'm just doing music websites, and according to the information I have, most of the founders of music websites are doing it personally. ”

"And what about companies doing it?"

"It's better to have a company and file a lawsuit directly in court, which is more effective than reporting to the relevant authorities. ”

"That's what I thought, too. ”

Although Xie Zhenyi didn't look like an ordinary technical man, Xie Zhenyi's answer Chen Yu was very satisfied.

The copyright is in hand, and how to fight in the future is up to you.

"Mr. Chen, I also made a music player?"

"How did you come up with the idea of making a music player?"

"I think there is a disadvantage of the online music platform, although he can search or download all kinds of songs from the website, but everyone generally likes to use a music player, like Qianqian Jingting, although Qianqian Jingting does not have much function, he is just a software that collects music playback. ”

"Convenience. ”

"Mr. Chen is so right, opening the music player is undoubtedly easier than entering the music website. ”

"It seems that you have thought about everything, I just don't want you to be the head of YY music. ”

Chen Yu made a joke.

"Mr. Chen, the company acquired my search network, isn't it just to find a talent who is specifically responsible for music. ”

"You're pretty confident. I haven't really thought about holding you accountable, though. ”

"Ah......h

Xie Zhen was dumbfounded: "Don't, Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, let me try it for a few months." Why don't I give Kugou to the company for free and give me a good position?"

"You're still haggling in front of me. ”

Chen Yu was defeated by Xie Zhenyi.

He had never seen such a tech man.

Just speaking of this, Chen Yu seemed to remember something: "What did you say just now, Kugou?"

"What is a cool dog?"

"Kugou is the player I just mentioned. ”

"You developed?"

"This ...... yes. ”

Xie Zhenyi was a little puzzled, and he didn't know why Chen Yu suddenly asked like this.
