Chapter 163: Hatsune Miku

"Look at these reports, those who don't know think you spent money to buy the press release." Guan Xin handed over all the newspapers in his hand, and the IT section really gave him face, half of the pages were about him, and the literature and art section also set off a scolding war.

"I buy my own manuscript and scold myself? Then I'm idle. Chen Bo threw the newspaper aside and held her in his arms with his backhand, "The president has lost a lot of weight recently, what are you doing so desperately?" Why don't you come home with me and have a big fat boy, my new house is old, and I have a garden and a pool. ”

"You put me in this position, didn't you just make me desperate?" Guan Xin glanced at him angrily, and then said sadly, "I don't know why, I feel very afraid of having a child, once a woman has a child, she will be tied up at home and lose her freedom." ”

"It's not that scary, you see how cute Jinyu is." Chen Bo patted her back in relief.

"That's someone else's child, can it be compared to your own? Laurenna is not the same to be at home! Guan Xin retorted, "If you want the child to find someone else to give birth to you, I don't have any idea now." ”

"Okay, Mr. Guan! Whatever you decide, I support you! Chen Bo kissed her fair cheek and said softly.

It's just a casual joke, he's busy, he's busy! The topic of marriage and having children is a bit distant, and if his child is born, he can't be by his side for a long time to watch her grow up, it will also make him feel very burdened. I have missed it in my previous life, and I have to make up for it in this life.

He didn't stay in Yanjing City for a few days, and after sending Nicholas away, he immediately accompanied Guan Xin to Tokyo, Japan.

The female president, who has attracted much attention in the industry, wants to attend a product launch conference, and he wants to spend more time with him, and he also needs to inspect the overall operation of Ant Japan and make targeted adjustments.

This product can be said to be very targeted, Japan's two-dimensional otaku culture is prevalent, and the economic scale is very considerable, which gives them inspiration. "Hatsune Miku Singer Project" is the music simulation synthesis software that Chen Bo once proposed, and after several years of development, it can finally be put on the market.

It is operated by mixi.com, and Maidong Music provides technical support, and the software is free to download online, but the voice actor's library is charged. Any D.I.Y. can upload and share any of its own works to mixi's blog, which is naturally attractive to users who like music.

Since it is to face more otaku and otaku, it has to rely on an idol to promote and guide. Idols in Japan are for a profession, they can be actors, singers, or groups, and there are even special laws that stipulate that such idol artists will be restricted even from love and marriage, unless you choose not to be an idol.

This bizarre culture is highly regarded by young Japanese people, and there are many girl and boy groups, and in order to get closer to fans, handshakes are held regularly. However, it is not without safety risks, two sisters in the AKB girl group were chopped... There are also other bizarre events that have been derived.

Of course, this kind of virtual software also needs an idol, but it's not a real person, but a cartoon girl with two bundles of emerald green hair. Even Crayon Shin-chan can be elected as the spokesperson of Saitama Prefecture, what is more popular in Japan than anime characters?

Akihabara in Tokyo's Chiyoda area is home to thousands of shops, and the bustling scene is no worse than that of Zhongguancun, where electronic and digital products from all over the world are gathered. From the old Nintendo to the new Sony PlayStation 2, Walkmans, CD players, game cartridges and DVDs, all kinds of specialty stores and hypermarkets.

This is a market for electrical appliances that was formed after World War II, and with the development of science and technology, it has evolved from an electric city to a digital store in line with the trend of the times.

The press conference was set up here, and the outdoor performance stage, cosplay show, and popular idol groups were staged in turn, and the announcement was posted in advance on the MIXI website, and the convenient transportation here made thousands of spectators pour into the scene.

When the girl coser with the first sound stepped into the public eye, the eyes of countless otaku were straight, and the freshly baked cute idol, with her youthful beauty and sweet voice, instantly captured many fans.

Coupled with the live performance of well-known voice actors, it makes people even more interested in this new thing that can compose music and fill in the lyrics by themselves.

A single sound source worth 12,900 yen sold 3,500 sets on the spot, which is simply phenomenal, and the price of 799 yuan is also 799, which is completely stress-free in front of the Japanese dead house.

However, this software is currently not sold in Chinese, if there is a market response will be miserable, some products need to be exported to domestic sales, not many players in China will not pay for such a large amount of money. But if it becomes popular in the overseas market, it will definitely be a different scene through the word of mouth of the Hari family and then sold in China.

This has to be said to be a kind of sadness of the times, but this is also the best portrayal of the times, when the overall economy has not yet developed to the ground, the entertainment industry will naturally not go on the high-speed channel so quickly.

Mixi's growth is much better than expected, and it has also brought a lot of considerable traffic to Ant Search.

The Chinese like Hari, and the Japanese like Hari, which is the state of the food chain. Thanks to MySpace, mixi, a localized blogging community site, has quickly amassed 11 million users, albeit mainly among young people. However, there are also many housewives who will use the handbook function provided by mixi to record some details of life consumption, which can be said to be very affordable and fashionable.

In addition to those basic features, mixi has also added various community features such as book review area, digital product leaderboard, DVD recommendations, and more. Use these traffic entrances to guide into Amazon Japan and get a lot of online promotion fees.

So far, Yahoo is still at the top of the list, with about 55% of the market share, Ant Search has got 35%, and Google Japan has only 10% left, because all their products are only copied from the United States, and many of them are not available in Japanese, which makes the Japanese who are very poor in English miserable and indirectly loses many users.

"In the first quarter, MIXI's revenue was $7.6 million and net income was $1.5 million. Advertising revenue from Ant Search and Fox live was $17.8 million, up 180% year-on-year, and net profit was $5.7 million. It is expected that the annual revenue will exceed $100 million. ”

Kenji Kasahara excitedly read the numbers on the earnings report, how to make people unhappy that the company that was still losing money in the third quarter of last year has now begun to make a profit.

"What is the market value of Yahoo Japan now?" Chen Bo did not praise directly, but asked rhetorically.

"About $50 billion." Kenji Kasawara came casually, and as the No. 1 website in Japan, he naturally has his advantages.

"What about the revenue ratio?" Chen Bo asked again.

"About 6 times as much as we are." Kenji Kasahara is still no stranger to these numbers, but the expression on his face is no longer as excited as it was just now.

"That's it, the best expectation for this year is just over 100 million. We still have a long way to go! Chen Bo took the opportunity to put some pressure on him again, "Kasahara-san has done a good job, but I can hope you do better!" Ant's products will have big moves in the future, and I hope you can take advantage of this shareholder wind to grab some more market share! ”

"Hey!" Kenji Kasahara lowered his head and said directly, "Please rest assured Chen Jun, I will work hard!" ”

"That's good, but we'll be rewarded for our merit. I'll be increasing your options awards, and it's time to put the listing schedule on the agenda! Chen Bo is very satisfied with him, a Japanese can have such an attitude, which means that he is already convinced.

Just from the title of the term, you can feel that so-and-so san is a kind of name for a familiar man, which can be understood as Ogasawara, Xiao Chen, and so on. But if it is a certain gentleman, it is an honorific title, and the higher level hall and the main hall are all ancient titles, and they are occasionally used in the form of letters in modern times.

"Going public? Are you sure?! Kenji Kasahara rekindled his fighting spirit.

"Of course, can I lie to you? Let's go to the Tokyo Stock Exchange and fight with Son!! Chen Bo clenched his fists and slammed it on the table, "It's time for them to know the power of ants!" ”

"Yes!" Kenji Kasahara did the same, and smashed it on the table with pride.

In Japan, a relatively closed market, choosing to list in Tokyo is the best choice, and it may not be good to go on the NASDAQ. Yahoo Japan has a market capitalization of $45 billion, but Yahoo Global only has about $34 billion on the NASDAQ, which is really TMD's irony.

However, it also indirectly illustrates the difference between the two markets, mixi can survive here for a long time, while MySpace will not be long before the rise of Facebook will be swept to the ground and quickly wilt.

This is also the reason why Chen Bo sold it, and even the Chinese version of the website was too lazy to do it, but only symbolically went to Europe to make a fan, in order to have a bright data that could make buyers more excited.

Wendy Deng has to be the boss of this injustice, no wonder he is rare, it is rare for people to insist on being cheated so much, but she is definitely not the last.

Now that the listing plan is on the agenda, it is necessary to redistribute equity and introduce strategic investors, and the current number of shareholders does not meet the relevant requirements. However, he doesn't plan to cheapen others, his own fund can be squeezed in in a different way, and no matter how horizontal the Japanese market is, he has to bow his head obediently under American capital.

Chen Bo took the time to go to Kyoto and visit Yamauchi Pu by the way, anyway, he didn't have a few years to live.

Although this old Japanese man is quite stubborn, he also has a cute side, and after a few more drinks, he will get up and dance a Japanese dance that he can't understand.

For the upcoming Nintendo NDS Chinese version: Dreamer X, he and Miyamoto Shigeru expressed satisfaction after reading it, because it was originally the same Japanese engineering machine architecture, but the internal system has been more suitable for Chinese gamers to rectify and design.

The production process is also a quality system approved by the other party, and it is unreasonable to be dissatisfied with it.

The old man's health is getting better and worse day by day, and Chen Bo is not embarrassed to invite him to Shanghai as a guest. I just invited Shigeru Miyamoto to Shanghai to do activities at the ChinaJoy press conference, and it was not too late to go after the office area of Xingchen was completed.
