Chapter 1363: Boss Jia's Eloquence
"But we can get a market, a market worth a billion or even tens of billions of dollars!" Nobuyuki Idei said proudly.
"It's the market that's not wrong!" Boss Jia nodded, and then said, "But you didn't get these markets, but you lost this market, and you will lose a huge market worth tens of billions of dollars!" β
"Jia Jun, at this time, you are playing a trick of strong words, but it is not interesting!" Nobuyuki Idei said with a smile.
"No, I've never been too strong, I would like to ask Idei-kun to use his many years of experience and his identity as the CEO of Sony to tell me the truth, that is, is MP3 due to the existing tape and CD players, is MP3 the mainstream of the future market? Will tapes and CDs be eliminated by MP3? Boss Jia asked, staring into Nobuyuki Idei's eyes.
Although Nobuyuki Idei wanted to deny it, as Jia Yapeng said, with his experience, personality, and identity as the CEO of Sony, he really couldn't deny this problem, so he could only nod helplessly.
However, he immediately added, "But as long as you lose the lawsuit, MP3 is a tool prohibited by law, and he can no longer infringe on our market!" β
"You're only half right!" Boss Jia laughed, "Yes, if we lose the lawsuit, considering that Mi is the customizer of global rules, then MP3 will indeed be banned from production worldwide." β
"What can be banned, will always be a big company like us and your Sony, we have countless pairs of eyes staring, as long as the law prohibits it, we really can't produce MP3 anymore!"
"But what about those small businesses? What about the small and micro enterprises that hide in the streets and alleys and cannot even be found by the police? β
"To be honest, the technical content of MP3 is not high, and in two or three years, any small factory can produce MP3. And these MP3s often do not have any trademarks, nor do they have a production address, to put it bluntly, they are a pirated product without any intellectual property rights. β
"But such products can run rampant, they hide in dark corners, the law can control us tigers to death, but it can't deal with those tiny rats!"
"So I dare in the future, even if the law prohibits us from producing MP3, but the future is still the world of MP3, tapes and CDs will still be withdrawn from the market, but these MP3s are infringing on our intellectual property rights, produced by those rats hiding in the dark corners, and then all users around the world will buy and use pirated MP3s!"
"It's still a market worth tens of billions of dollars, but it really has nothing to do with us, we can only watch MP3 generate amazing profits, but we big tigers are bound by the law and can't touch this market at all!"
"......" Nobuyuki Idei was silent, and he had to admit that Boss Jia's words were very reasonable, and they were basically reality.
Daqian and Sony's goals are too big, as long as the law does not allow them, they can't sell MP3 publicly, but MP3 is inevitable for the traditional market to crush and replace.
This can be seen from the crazy shipments of Daqian MP3 in the past month or so,MP3 is the trend of the times,Unstoppableγ
"This is a ridiculous thing, you use piracy as an excuse to stop me, but in the end you give up the entire market to all pirates, is this the most ridiculous thing in the world?" Boss Jia couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"This is your Daqian's interests, your Daqian's market, what does it have to do with our Sony?" Nobuyuki Idei was a little unwilling to be led by Boss Jia, so he said sourly.
"Oh, if Izui-kun solemnly promised me here that Sony has no MP3 technology, and will forever give up the MP3 market and never enter, then Izui-kun will be sent away now, and everyone will meet in court!" Boss Jia said with a smile, angry Nobuyuki Izui wanted to hit someone.
"Okay, Izui-kun, everyone is a pure businessman, there is no need to carry around this kind of thing, we only look at profits, and anything that prevents us from obtaining profits should be crushed!" Boss Jia licked his lips, "To be honest, although we Daqian took the lead in developing MP3 and launching it on the market. β
"But in fact, when it comes to technical heritage, we are still incomparable with Sony, if Sony enters this market, then at least half of the market will fall into the hands of Sony in the future, we are at most the first few years to eat alone, do you think that Sony's future products, is it better than our Daqian?
"It's natural!" Nobuyuki Idei snorted.
"So, Izui-kun agreed!" Boss Jia smiled even sweeter.
"I can't agree to such a thing alone, I have to meet the entire board of directors before I can make a decision!" The way out of the well.
"I believe that as long as Idei-kun can speak up, then there will be no problem on the board of directors. And I'm willing to cooperate with Idei-kun on the light and shadow supermarket! β
"Light and shadow supermarket? How are you going to work together? "When it comes to the Light and Shadow Supermarket, this is another pain in Nobu Idei's heart.
Like Sony VCD, Sony's light and shadow supermarket was eventually abandoned because of the problem of operating costs, and the cultural enterprises that originally signed a large number of contracts with Sony all turned to Daqian's light and shadow supermarket, not to mention, even all the content under Sony Pictures and Sony Music eventually had to join Daqian's light and shadow supermarket.
After all, only by joining Daqian's light and shadow supermarket can you enter the global VCD market and sell money, and no one will get along with money.
"My next step will be to build a large-scale online version of the light and shadow supermarket on the Internet, and push all the music copyrights owned by the light and shadow supermarket to the online platform in the form of electronic versions, and then charge a fee to provide MP3 downloads for netizens."
"And then......" Nobuyuki Idei's little thumb moved slightly, after CDs and tapes were replaced by MP3, then Sony's music will inevitably lose one of the largest sales mediums, so find a new medium, sell genuine music on MP3, is the most important thing for Sony, otherwise the entire Sony music library will become a waste.
"Like the offline light and shadow supermarket, Daqian will charge a 50% royalty for every piece of music sold!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "If you can agree to my request to join Idei-kun, then we are willing to sign a separate contract with Sony, and we can make two percent of Sony's products, and only charge 30% of the share!" β
At the moment of "......", Nobuyuki Idei's whole person was shaken.
You know, now through the light and shadow supermarket under Daqian, Sony's huge content can probably earn about 220 million US dollars in profits every year, and 110 million US dollars of it will be distributed to the damn Daqian.
In fact, for film and television VCDs, the profits brought by music copyrights are actually even more amazing, and the total profit brought by Sony Music last year was 520 million US dollars.
If all the profits of 520 million US dollars are transferred to the network and sold through the online light and shadow supermarket, then the profit of 20% is 110 million US dollars, and it will be 1.1 billion US dollars in 10 years.
"Got it!" When Boss Jia saw Nobuyuki Idei's expression, he knew that he had won, but the other party didn't want to admit it.
"Come, let's have dinner!" Boss Jia snapped his fingers, and suddenly ten beautiful maids rushed in, in the surprised eyes of Nobuyuki Izui, they stood in various positions of the table, holding delicate ivory chopsticks, with a graceful posture, from more than 30 dishes on the table, constantly picking the most delicious parts, and then carefully sent into the bowl of Nobuyuki Izui.
If they encounter lobsters, crabs and other food, these maids will also take out special tools, little by little, carefully scrape out the delicious meat from the carapace, and also send it into the bowl of Nobuyuki Izui.
Nobuyuki Idei found that he could enjoy the most delicious part of the more than 30 dishes on the table without even touching his chopsticks.
"Could this be the right way to eat Chinese food?" Nobuyuki Idei couldn't help but ask at the end.
"I don't know if it's authentic, but that's how the Empress Dowager Cixi dined back then!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"If I don't agree, I'm afraid I'll only be able to eat the three dishes in front of me, and these ten maids won't appear at all!" Nobuyuki Idei sighed in his heart.
Jia Yapeng is really a stingy man.
