Chapter 10 Night Market
When Lin Feng first thought of starting a business in the direction of wireless value-added business, in addition to grabbing access at the beginning of Monternet and occupying the first-mover advantage, he also thought about the advantages and disadvantages of competing with other SP companies. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As a college student start-up company, Menglong Technology does not have the technical advantages of platform system engineering for operators in the early days of Huayou Century, nor does it have the deep historical relationship between TOM Wang Leilei and the senior management of the communication industry, so it can be said that the only advantage is Lin Feng's cognition of the follow-up development of the industry, and his deep understanding of emerging business operation models such as SMS and CRBT.
The core of mobile value-added services is still TOC business, and good content is indispensable to attract users to subscribe.
Lin Feng didn't want to rely on forcibly tying and deceiving SP companies to gain users and make huge profits like those SP companies in his previous life, and he even wanted to do some foreshadowing in advance to change such an operation mode in the industry, so as to avoid the SP industry being criticized in the whole society due to various shady scenes, resulting in a major reorganization of operators and a depression in the industry.
In fact, the SP business can even be said to be the originator of many industries, for example, the WAP business is the initial model of the mobile Internet, like the WAP game developers in the SP company, basically all of them are early entrepreneurs in the mobile game industry; for example, the ringtone business, especially the CRBT, can be said to have saved the Chinese record industry, and the digital music income has almost become the largest source of income for record companies and musicians......
SP is a very socially influential industry, and Lin Feng hopes to start from here, on the one hand, to quickly accumulate funds, and on the other hand, to accumulate talents and influence in the direction of mobile Internet in the future.
Therefore, he does not want to make money through forced binding and fraud in a simple and crude way, without technical content, but really uses high-quality content to carry out marketing cooperation with the help of operators and media channels, and provides users with truly valuable services to obtain income.
Standing to make money, Lin Feng felt more at ease.
To say a thousand things and ten thousand, the key is the content.
Needless to say, the SMS business needs to work more on the interaction of entertainment and media, and Lin Feng also has a killer feature, which is a popular joke on the Internet in countless later generations.
The ringtone business market is larger.
Back then, those SP companies bought the copyright of a song for thousands of dollars from a record company, and millions of profits abounded, and after the emergence of online singers, they got a good song, which generated even more huge profits, and a song "Mice Love Rice" CRBT was downloaded more than 6 million times in a single month, and the derivative income was nearly 200 million. The total number of downloads of "Two Butterflies" is also nearly 100 million, and the income derived from the surrounding area is even more amazing.
Lin Feng knew that he didn't have the strength to negotiate copyright cooperation with big record companies such as EMI and Rolling Stone, so he set his sights on online songs.
The emergence of Internet songs came about with the launch of MP3 search by Baidu in 2002 and the establishment of a large number of music websites such as 163888, Yiting, and Haoting.
At this time, the music websites were mainly Li Xingping's QQ163, as well as Jiutian Music Network established in 1999 and sogua established in 2000. These sites now offer online auditions, downloads, and other features, and very few original music. The 163888, established at the end of 2002, was the first original music community.
Lin Feng has countless popular Internet songs in his mind, and he has never thought about how to release them, but this time when he went home to see Liu Kailai, his ideas began to take shape.
At the end of 2001, the creation of an original music website can not only launch Liu Kailai, use those popular songs to package Liu Kailai as the first Internet singer, but also create a community of original musicians to attract more original singers. This is a continuous stream of music factories that provide content for Lin Feng's SP business.
The idea works!
Lin Feng became excited, and his ideas extended to the later brokerage, performances, copyright transactions, and even shows, live broadcasts, Internet celebrity brokerages and other popular fields in the future.
This is another business that can be dug deeper!
Lin Feng suddenly felt that there were too many things that could be done, and countless plans needed capital investment, and the most important thing for him now was to access Montnets as soon as possible and earn the first pot of gold.
……
"What do you want, look who's coming!" Qin Sheng gathered the cry in his ear before bringing Lin Feng's mind back to the noisy bar.
With a turn of his eyes, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, when did Qin Sheng sit next to two girls?
But it's familiar......
Suddenly reacted, with a sincere smile on his face, he leaned closer to the two girls, and said loudly in the noisy music of the bar: "Lina, Tingting! It's been a long time, you're here!"
"Crazy, it's been a long time, I miss you! Vivi, how is it?"
"Brother!" this is Xiaoting.
Wang Lina, Qin Sheng's girlfriend during this period. Entangled with Qin Sheng from college to a few years after graduation, they fell in love and killed each other, and finally broke up because they couldn't wait to marry Qin Sheng, who had the mentality of a prodigal son. It is a friend that Lin Feng is most familiar with and regrets the most. Sometimes it's like that, some people don't show up at the right time, and some people who appear at the right time don't ...... the right person.
Shen Xiaoting, Qin Sheng, Lin Feng, Liu Kailai's common sister, the name of brother and sister was very popular in that era, and she was actually a good friend, a junior sister who was one year lower than Lin Feng and Qin Sheng in middle school, she had a gentle and cheerful personality, she was a good girl who loved to laugh, she had a crush on Qin Sheng, and was chased by Liu Kailai, calling Lin Feng "brother", but in the end, many years later, the three of them were still dead friends.
It turned out that the dinner just now was a gathering of the three brothers, so they didn't call them, but now in the entertainment session, Qin Sheng called them out to play together.
After a while, Liu Kailai finished singing three songs, and also came down to sit with them, and sure enough, when he saw Shen Xiaoting coming, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up: "Tingting, you are here!" Looking like a pig brother, Lin Feng smiled secretly.
After drinking for a while, the bar was too noisy and it was not easy to talk, so a few people discussed it and simply went out to Zhengning Road Night Market for supper.
Zhengning Road Night Market Snack Street, the favorite supper spot of young people in Lanzhou, is located at the southern end of Qingyang Road from Shuangchengmen to Nanguan Cross, which is a small road parallel to Qingyang Road, about 200 meters or so, but it gathers almost the favorite food of Lanzhou people.
There are about 20 kinds of snacks, mainly fried, grilled, fried, boiled, etc., fried artichoke, fried Shaoxing tofu, fried meat skewers, all kinds of barbecue, grilled mutton, grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, grilled squid, grilled sweet potatoes, grilled egg tarts, SD pancakes, fried seafood, fried noodles, cold noodles, vegetable noodles, egg mash, sour soup dumplings, Lanzhou cold skin, SX rolling dough, bacon sandwiched buns, and so on.
The most attractive place of the snack street is that after nightfall, in front of each food stall, the light bulbs are lit up, one by one the light bulbs come and go, the whole street is like daytime, because the food stalls are next to each other, so the road that is not wide is narrower, the hungry diners are walking forward one by one, and the oncoming is one after another diners coming over, people are crowded, people are next to each other, rubbing shoulders one after another.
It's also a good place to fall in love, young men and women come to the snack street after work or after watching a movie, and their objects or future objects choose a variety of food, watching the diners come and go, some are eating snacks in their mouths, some are asking the boss about the price, some are talking and laughing with friends, and those stall owners who shout and sell, in such a lively and harmonious environment, the men and women who talk to each other will naturally enhance their relationship.
Here, Lin Feng and others in the night market fix the location of the supper.
Lin Feng's favorite dishes are egg mash and fried noodles.
A few people found a familiar stall and sat down, ordered barbecue, fried noodles, mash, poured barley tea, and chatted.
"Madman, when are you leaving?" asked Liu Kailai casually.
"The day after tomorrow, stay for two days, BJ still has a bunch of things. ”
Qin Sheng was still thinking about the game he had said before, and after saying a few words, he was obviously moved, Lena still just heard about it, and she was very supportive, she was bent on going to the end with Qin Sheng, getting married and having children, and she also hoped that Qin Sheng would not always soak in the Internet café, but she was worried that Qin Sheng would go to find a job in a game company and leave Lanzhou.
"If you go to another place, I'll go with you", listening to Lina say this to Qin Sheng, Lin Feng also sighed in his heart, Lena is a good girl, but unfortunately at this time, she fell in love with a young and uncertain prodigal son.
Unwilling to add to the worries of the young couple, Lin Feng hurriedly changed the topic: "Hooligans, you are now mixing in these bars and song halls, how many people are singing their own original songs here in Lanzhou?"
"It's not too original, there are a few bands that write their own songs and sing their own songs, mainly singing Hong Kong, Taiwan, European and American songs, these songs are familiar to the audience, and we will sing whatever the bosses like to hear." ”
It seems that there are still few original singers at this stage.
Lin Feng thought about it, but he still didn't tell Liu Kai in advance that he was going to set up a music website, and pushed his idea, but now the conditions are not available, let him hone it here, and wait for his funds to be fully prepared in all aspects, and the website will be built, and it will be too late to pull him to BJ.
Turning his head to look at Shen Xiaoting, he asked with a smile: "Xiaoting, you are going to be a senior this year, you are studying media, where are you going to intern?"
"I don't know, maybe I found the city TV station at home...... Brother, do you say I'll graduate and go to BJ?" Shen Xiaoting hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"Huh, why do you want to go to BJ?"
"I don't want to stay in Lanzhou anymore, I want to go out and see. Lin Feng saw Shen Xiaoting quietly glance at Qin Sheng, and there was resentment in his words, and he couldn't help but feel a little headache, and he also felt a little sorry for this girl.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It's okay, it's good to intern at the TV station, learn things, graduate, if you really want to go to Brother BJ to help you find a place at that time." A year later, Lin Feng felt that his company should have developed to a certain scale, and there was a lot of cooperation with the media, so he should have the ability to help Shen Xiaoting.
"Rub, brother, I think I should also go to BJ to break through!" Liu Kailai also came out.
It's just that when you said this, your eyes kept staring at Shen Xiaoting, what the hell is it?
Lin Feng held his head again.
