Chapter 108: Acquisition of Tiantian Music (Asking for Sanjiang Tickets)

On October 1st, an MP3 music sharing website www appeared on the Internet. mp3怂 com, users can listen to music for free on this website. If you download it, you need to pay 10 music credits.

Music Coins is the original network currency of MP3 music sharing websites, users can get 2 music coins after logging in and signing in, and if they upload music and pass the review, they can get 100 music coins. The music currency of MP3 music sharing website is mainly used to pay for downloading music. If you accumulate more music coins, you can also exchange them for physical records!!

10,000 music coins can be exchanged for a record. In other words, as long as you upload 100 pieces of music, you will have to get a physical record!!

However, the review mechanism of MP3 music sharing sites is very strict, and if the uploaded music is of poor quality or the website already exists, it will fail!

Not long after the release of MP3 music sharing sites, they gradually became popular on the Internet. Not only can users listen to music, but there are also many users who are crazy about uploading music in the hope of getting a physical record. Especially the websites that used to make their own pirated music, they have a lot of resources, and hundreds or thousands of pieces of music are trivial. So, a week has passed, and MP3 music sharing sites have not spent much effort to collect music on their own, because other pirate sites have uploaded their own music to MP3 music sharing sites, and they have already got more than 10,000 pieces of music in total!

MP3 music sharing sites only need to pay a hundred records, and if MP3 music sharing sites upload music by themselves, it will cost a lot. First, you have to buy the record and come back to it, then convert it and upload it online. There are about a dozen songs on a record, while others have to upload a hundred songs to get a record. If you do the math, MP3 music sharing sites can reduce the cost of records by 90%, and the labor cost is also saved a lot!!

The point is that by exchanging music coins for physical records, you can make a name for yourself!!

There is no benefit for a music lover to upload music on other pirated sites, but there is a chance to redeem physical records on MP3 music sharing sites, so why not upload music on MP3 music sharing sites?

In just a few weeks, MP3 music sharing sites became popular and became the king of pirated music. The traffic to the website has also increased dramatically, and the advertising price has skyrocketed!

At this time, the major record companies began to shout, saying that they would sue MP3 music sharing sites.

MP3 music sharing website said: "MP3 music sharing website itself did not upload a pirated music, it is uploaded by the user himself, it is none of our business!!" Because the current legal system of Internet piracy is not perfect, MP3 music sharing websites take advantage of loopholes, play scoundrels, and major record companies have no choice!

If an MP3 music sharing site uploads pirated music on its own, the major record companies can confidently sue it, but it doesn't upload a single pirated music, how can you sue it? It's the majority of netizens who upload pirated music, so you can sue them!!

What? You say that MP3 music sharing sites provide the function of uploading files? Hehe, many websites on the Internet now have the function of uploading files, are they all infringing?

The major record companies are very helpless and can only hope that the California law can formulate the corresponding Internet piracy regulations as soon as possible!

However, the formulation of laws and regulations is not so simple. After layers of discussion, analysis, and final voting, a new piracy law will not be introduced in less than a year and a half!

When the new piracy law is introduced, the daylilies will be cold, and the record company will lose a lot!

So, taking advantage of this time, Henry sent someone to the record company to discuss cooperation. The condition given by Henry is that the record company authorizes Tiantian Music Company to own the music network copyright, one is a buyout, and the other is a share. In the case of buyout, according to the popularity of the song, it is divided into A, B, C, D, and E five levels, of which A is the lowest, with a buyout price of $10 per song, and E is the highest, with a price of $100,000 per song! mp3怂 The download volume of each song on the com website is divided, and the daily music company takes 4 percent, and the record company takes 6 percent. www怂 mp3怂 The website will open an exchange system between music coins and US dollars, and one dollar will be exchanged for 100 music coins.

Williams Bank will participate in the cooperation to open an online banking service to support the exchange system! When Henry acquired the bank, it was already ready to open the online banking service. However, neither the scale nor the timing was right. This time www. mp3怂 com website is ready to open the exchange of music coins and US dollars, Williams Bank is a small test of the waters, first mix some experience, and then promote it on a large scale!

In the face of Henry's conditions, some small companies had to agree to cooperate with Tiantian Music Company in order to survive.

And the powerful record company did not say yes so easily.

They only promised to sell the old songs that could not be sold and had no value to choose to buy out to Tiantian Music Company, but the new songs were not good, and even asked for www. mp3怂 10 music coins are only equivalent to 10 cents, and 10 songs are only a dollar. A record company can sell a record for tens of dollars, and apparently, selling a record is more profitable. Not to mention www. mp3怂 com website also takes 4% of it. How could a record company agree to work with Everyday Music?

Without the benefit of seeing is believing, the record company obviously will not easily agree to cooperate with Tiantian Music Company.

So, Henry can only find a way to make the record company see the tangible benefits now!

Subsequently, at the behest of Henry, Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ, announced to the public: "ICQ has officially applied for the acquisition of Tiantian Music Company!!

A few days later, Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ, held a press conference and announced: "ICQ has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Tiantian Music Company with a cost of five million US dollars. mp3怂 In addition, ICQ will soon launch the daily music client, welcome everyone to download and use!

Henry did not announce his identity, so in the eyes of outsiders, there was no backstage before Tiantian Music Company, although www. mp3怂 com websites are growing fast, but wait for www. mp3怂 It will take at least a year or two for the company to develop to the point where the huge traffic can bring enough benefits to the record company, and in this time or two, their own record company will definitely lose a lot of money!! so the record company is unwilling to cooperate! Therefore, when the Tiantian Music Company finds a record company, they put up a show, pretend to be the boss, and bully others. Well, Henry has now found a big backstage for it, ICQ.

Under the implementation of the one-stop plan, a large number of Internet cafes have sprung up in the United States, so that tens of millions of Americans have access to the Internet! Today, the number of registered ICQ users has exceeded 9 million, and almost every one of those Internet veterans has one. With such a hanging company cover, what the record company says, you have to weigh it!

Import huge traffic from ICQ into www. mp3怂 com, presumably there will be a lot of record companies will be tempted to !! (the new week is coming, ask for recommendations and collections!, and the author of Sanjiang Ticket !! Jun has built a book friend group: 424930141, welcome everyone to join...... )
