Chapter 66 Music Copyright
After the popularity of the sharing economy has passed, there has been another thing in Huaxia that is enough to affect major companies, the formalization of music copyrights.
The National Copyright Administration of China has issued a policy requiring major companies to cooperate with artists to implement music copyrights, and at the same time has joined forces with the Ministry of Public Security to further crack down on pirated CDs and pirated music.
Prior to this, netizens could listen to all the songs of any singer at home and abroad by using any music player on the Internet, which was unimaginable abroad.
It is also because foreign entertainment companies and artists have protested several times and domestic artists have appealed that the National Copyright Administration of China has issued this policy.
Zhao Hongbing's Feitong company also has a music player, called Feitong Music, Feitong Music before the policy was introduced, it was the highest download rate of Huaxia music software and mobile music APP, but, after the policy was introduced, the songs of many famous artists at home and abroad were blocked, resulting in a plummeting number of users, far behind the three companies of Yiwang, Kumao and Shrimp Fish.
After learning of this situation, Zhao Hongbing immediately held an emergency meeting at the Feitong Music Branch.
"What? Usually you point out the country in front of me one by one, saying that this is not good and that is not good, but now let you put forward some useful suggestions, and you are all dumb? Zhao Hongbing said unhappily.
When facing Zhao Hongbing, in fact, the major heads of Feitong Music really didn't know how to explain it.
"Okay, I'll give you a day, and I'll continue to have a meeting here tomorrow, and then I won't give any opinions, so I'll go home and reflect on it!" Meeting! Zhao Hongbing said solemnly.
After the meeting, many people began to complain secretly.
"Pete, what's wrong, isn't it just that the State Administration of Copyright has made some kind of agreement, so that many artists' songs can't be listened to, so it's not like this!"
"Yes! Even if we don't have this department, it doesn't matter! As long as there are departments such as games and mobile phones, it would be fine. ”
……
"What are you talking about!"
Zhao Hongbing originally planned to go to a friend of the Copyright Administration for help, but before he left the company, he heard several employees of Feitong Music talking about himself, and also pointed out the policies of the Copyright Administration.
"You two, pack your things and go home." Zhao Hongbing fired the two middle-level players of Feitong Music on the spot, which made the others even more afraid.
Feitong Music CEO Zheng Xiang is a senior musician, he used to be the agent of several kings and queens in China, three years ago was dug up by Zhao Hongbing with a lot of money, after coming to Feitong, he spent two years to make Feitong Music the most popular music software in China, music APP, however, all these achievements are based on the way of infringing on the artist's copyright.
Now, Zhao Hongbing asked Feitong Music to make internal rectifications, and naturally Zheng Xiang was at a loss.
The two middle-level who were directly expelled by Zhao Hongbing were very annoyed, and the more they found Zheng Xiang to complain, saying: "Mr. Zheng, why don't we jump ship together!" Zhao Hongbing, this guy is so ignorant of lifting, he doesn't understand the hard work of us making music! ”
"Yes! Mr. Zheng, if we go to Yiwang together, Cool Cat or Shrimp Fish, as long as we go over with the internal information of Feitong, they will definitely be willing to give us a high salary! ”
When Zheng Xiang heard these words, he fell silent.
"How? Mr. Zheng, I have a good relationship with a middle-level person in Yiwang, and he will let us go over and have a look. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Xiang couldn't help it, and scolded: "Get out!" You don't deserve to be flyers, get out! Hurry up and roll as far as you want! ”
Seeing Zheng Xiang's angry appearance, Liu Neng and Xu Shan hurriedly ran away with their things and ran downstairs to the Feitong Building, and the two were angry.
"Damn, Zheng Xiang is afraid that he has eaten Zhao Hongbing's ecstasy soup, and he doesn't know the current situation at all!" Liu Neng said disdainfully.
"Yes! Those who know the times are Junjie, let's go to Yiwang to have a look! Xu Shan responded.
In this way, the two former middle level of Feitong Music defected to Yiwang Music, which made the situation of Feitong Music, which was originally a little stormy, even more severe.
After Zhang Xiao learned that the two middle level of Feitong Music were expelled by Zhao Hongbing, he was very worried and quickly found Zhao Hongbing.
"Pete, what's wrong with you? You used to be very tolerant of everyone! Why did you ...... this time?" Zhang Xiao said with some apprehension.
"I just fired two people, didn't I? Do you know what they said behind my back? Saying that Feitong Music is worthless at all, Feitong relies on games and mobile phones to make money, so I don't need such an employee who is not enterprising and likes to work hard. Zhao Hongbing responded.
"Okay! So now have you found a solution? I heard that the Copyright Office is really strict this time, and we don't think we can do Feitong Music like before, by the way, did Shawbert talk to you? Zhang Xiao continued to ask.
Chaubert is Zheng Xiang's English name, taken from one of his favorite German musicians, but now Zheng Xiang does not dare to communicate with Zhao Hongbing, because Zhao Hongbing's words and deeds at the meeting make Zheng Xiang feel a little uncomfortable.
"No, I had a falling out with everyone in their department, and now I guess everyone hates me." Zhao Hongbing said.
"Pete! Don't think like this, you are the boss, it is normal to reprimand the employees, but usually you are too indulgent to them, so they will think that you are unreasonable now, you should be gracious and powerful, only in this way, can you have the demeanor of the richest boss! Zhang Xiao continued to pat Zhao Hongbing's ass and said.
"You can still talk, Illya, if everyone knows when to praise me and when to hurt me like you, maybe we will be stronger." Zhao Hongbing continued.
"Where to say! Where am I damaging you and praising you? I just choose to say the right thing at the right time! ”
Zhao Hongbing did not continue to be depressed, took the initiative to call Zheng Xiang, and asked him to go to the Cat Street bar to drink and chat together.
In the evening, Cat Street Kantee Bar.
Zhao Hongbing and Zheng Xiang clinked glasses, and the latter's face was still full of gloom, because Zheng Xiang's two subordinates Liu Neng and Xu Shan had now directly defected to Feitong Music's competitor Yiwang Music.
"Shawbert, Chapter 3, Paragraph 5 'Ellie's Moonlight' sounds good." Zhao Hongbing said.
"Pete, do you listen to Shawbert too?" Zheng Xiang was a little surprised.
"I didn't listen to it before, but after I got to know you, I know this melancholy and sensual man, cheers!" Zhao Hongbing said calmly.
Hearing these words, Zheng Xiang's mood relaxed slightly, and the two continued to chat about Shawbert's music.
