Tokyo.

ListenNepster Co., Ltd., located in an office building in Hamamatsucho, Minato-ku, Tokyo, is a newly established company that provides comprehensive online music services...... To put it simply, this is a company that runs a music website.

And they're ready to make big moves in this area.

While the future of digital streaming is "unstoppable" in terms of current trends, it would be too late to start such a business at this time. After all, for online services, the "first-mover advantage" is quite important, and in an industry like this, if the services provided by different companies tend to be homogeneous, users tend to follow the "first come, first served" principle for no other reason, they are used to the earliest websites.

In turn, the user base determines the development prospects of online service providers at the root.

Therefore, the first dilemma that the newly established ListenNepster has to face at this time is that it has been squeezed out of almost the market space, and it is facing strong survival pressure - in theory.

But in fact, considering that the islanders are still stubbornly obsessed with the magical nature of small discs after N years, although the trend is a trend, the focus of audiovisual services at this time is still in the CD market rather than online.

It is not a simple matter to change the consumption or use habits at some social levels, so compared with peer competition, we can say that we have a "long way to go" in the living environment in a broader sense.

However, ListenNepster is clearly different from other new companies, and although it is just getting started, it has a huge advantage - it is not short of money.

It is said that the shareholders of this company are quite "hard-core", and there are all kinds of rumors, which are naturally difficult to distinguish between true and false, but it does put on a posture that is not bad for money from the beginning.

Its website has not yet been officially launched at this time, but it has taken out hundreds of millions of funds to start the overall image packaging, a small part of which is the project in which Gong Daiju is actively involved.

Kayuko Suzuki stands in front of a floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of hot coffee in her hand, looking south through the fully transparent window, just in front of the large panoramic view of Tokyo Tower in the distance.

The decoration style of this company is very suitable for her eyes, concise and high-end, full of vitality but not too lively, solemn and not rigid...... However, can aesthetic consistency be considered a good omen?

She couldn't tell, but since she had the opportunity to come, of course she had to try.

But then the next thing to talk about, she can't be the master anymore, and the rest of the things need to be handed over to Gong Daijuan to deal with. She was the only one here at this point, and the assistant she brought with her went on to do other things.

It's Saturday, and early in the morning, Miyadai Kanako has already caught the Shinkansen to come here, and Suzuki has come here in advance to wait for his arrival.

After all, Tokyo is different from Kyoto, the former is the capital of the country, and the latter can only be said to be a second-tier city, compared to this international metropolis, the overall pace of life in Kyoto is much slower, and the millennium Heianjing can only be said to be a quite suitable place for retirement.

The road downstairs was bustling with people and cars, and it looked like it was just a few indistinguishable spots and patches of color, but for some reason, Suzuki just glanced at the exit of the train diagonally on the opposite side, and happened to see Miyayo Kanako coming out of the crowd of pedestrians...... This really can't be said because he has a unique temperament that can stand out on the road, but it can really only be attributed to coincidence.

Suzuki straightened out the badge hanging in front of him, walked to the side and took a temporary pass, and then went downstairs to prepare for Miyadai Sonata ...... Otherwise, he'd have to be stopped by the security guards below.

"Suzuki-san."

Miyadai walked to the door of the building, and when she was about to call Suzuki, she found that she was already waiting here, so she took back the phone and said hello to the other party with a smile.

"Soong-kun, the time is just right, our meeting will start at 10 o'clock." Suzuki didn't say much to say hello, and lured him in after handing him the pass to Miyadai.

It's not too early or too late, but it looks like the palace is a bit like it's stuck over...... In fact, he came here in a stuck, and it was meaningless to arrive early, and it was unreasonable to arrive late, so he chose the kind just now.

It stands to reason that he should try to dress as formal as possible on this occasion, but at this time his dress is just the high school uniform he usually wears, and the only fortunate thing is that his current uniform is Western, with a suit, shirt and tie, although it is not very suitable for the occasion, but it will not look rude or gaffe.

Kayuko Suzuki walked into the company with Miyadai Kana, and then waited for the time to come in a large conference room.

Gong Daiyu was also constantly observing the situation of this company along the way, and then he was basically relieved, because the other party really didn't seem to be bad for money...... On this building alone, ListenNepster occupies at least 8 floors of space, and he must have no choice if he had to pay for this kind of rent anyway.

About 15 minutes before the agreed meeting began, the other party's people also arrived, and they sat down in front of the two of them...... Although, as a host, this advance may itself be a mere act of etiquette, the attitude revealed in it is undoubtedly positive.

At least people are willing to abide by the so-called etiquette for the sake of these two people from a small and unknown company.

A tall, pleasing OL gently closed the door to the conference room outside, and then the slight noise outside completely blocked it out.

The representatives of ListenNepster are two men and one woman, a total of three, the one in the middle should be the main person in charge, and the other two sit on the left and right, and take out the materials with a serious face...... The two men didn't seem to have any intention of talking.

Since there is no obvious identification, Miyadai is unable to judge their specific position in this company.

"Is this Mr. Miyadai? I have heard it many times and have never seen it, Mr. Gong is really unusual, and it seems that we are about to start a mutually beneficial cooperation. The man in the middle looks quite young, not even 30 years old, but being able to appear on this occasion can confirm that he has decision-making power in this matter, and he should be considered a senior ListenNepster.

As for his evaluation of Gong Dai's "I have heard it many times and never seen it", it is by no means an exaggeration, but despite the smile on his face, it can be imagined that this sentence is definitely not a simple praise.

Gong Dai's performance is a legendary figure in the project review here, and he was called Gong Thirty-Nine here, but now it's called Gong Forty.

Miyayo on the other side appeared younger than the head of ListenNepster, but the other party did not express any objection to this. While age is a matter of surprise, it doesn't tell the whole story, and one of the hallmarks of a smart person is that they don't easily express their opinions on people or situations that they are not familiar with.

Miyadai is young and accomplished, so naturally there is a corresponding reason, and this reason has nothing to do with the meeting they are going to have today.
