After the meeting with Hou Wenhui and Liang Xiaoyue, Lin Ming passed by the rehearsal room and the recording engineer, and saw that An Ran and Liu He were still practicing and recording songs hard.

Lin Ming didn't bother them, but went to the 13th floor by the way to the network department to see the situation.

Now Taomu's official website has been launched, and the click-through rate is very few. This is also normal, after all, it is just an introductory website, with no functions, and naturally it cannot win the attention of the audience.

But the new music website is different, with a lot of features and concise content, and it is almost completed and is coming to an end. Just wait for the server to open and go online immediately.

Peng Chen rented a residential bungalow outside as a server storage place, this kind of place is a lot in the center of Yuncheng, although it has been renovated in large numbers in the city center in 02 years, but there are still a lot of such bungalows, especially by the river, the price is cheap, the rent is low, don't even think about this kind of place in 18 years.

"Mr. Lin." Pushing open the door of the network department, Peng Chen was instructing a programmer to do a program, and when he saw Lin Ming coming in, Peng Chen immediately said: "I'm going to report to you tomorrow, the main body of the music website has been completed, waiting for the naming to be launched." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Mingqi said: "Why is it so fast? What about the content? What should listeners do if they download and listen to music? ”

Because he had to study, Lin Ming couldn't come over every day. And he has already told Peng Chen about the general meaning, and many ideas coincide with Peng Chen himself, so during this time, he has been relieved and bold to let Peng Chen do it, and rarely asks about the details. After all, he doesn't understand technical things very well.

Some people may ask, why doesn't Lin Ming come over often to check the progress? Make sure that the product idea is as you imagined, and do it yourself, in case the people below make the product not work. In fact, where is it so troublesome, as the leader of the enterprise, you should do what you should do. Control the overall situation, have a big picture, and determine what industry and market trends to do. The details are not to be dealt with below. For example, Lao Ma, before he did e-commerce, his profession had nothing to do with e-commerce, but he only needed to propose that he should do e-commerce. The rest of the website production, platform operation, does everything need him to care about? There's no need for that.

So Lin Ming is the same now, he just needs to say, I want to make a music website. Then provide funds and tell Peng Chen his ideas and ideas, and Peng Chen will naturally execute according to his wishes, and he doesn't have to worry about the execution of the people below. If it doesn't work, just change the person to operate, or change it again.

"At present, the source of music on the website is to download resources on the Internet and store them on the server for listeners to download and play. Then the website has a search system, similar to Qiansou, which captures music files on the Internet and copies them. ”

Peng Chen introduced: "However, there is no MV playback function, only two main sections: listening to songs and singing songs. The second is music consultation, song recommendation, concert information and so on. That's about it. ”

As he introduced, he tapped the programmer's computer a few times on it, and soon a blue page appeared.

Lin Ming took a look, the page was very concise, and there were no messy functions. It's all as he said before, and after going in, there are some music inquiries on the homepage. Then there is a search menu in the top column, which can search for songs directly on the Internet, and then there are two options to play and download resources.

Lin Ming frowned and said, "This.... It should be piracy. ”

Peng Chen nodded: "The resources on the Internet must all belong to piracy, in fact, we are only responsible for collecting these pirated files, and then storing these files in our server for everyone to listen to and download." If you have to say it, it can also be said to be a pirated music website.... But this kind of website, it seems that we are the only one in China. ”

02There are some music websites in the year,But they are all personal portals built with self-hilarious forums,There are also some pirated music resources for everyone to download,But to say that it is a comprehensive music website that integrates playback、Consultation、Music search and other functions as one,There is no one in China for the time being,Peng Chen did this website,It is the first。 In fact, this kind of website is not difficult to do, after all, its functions are relatively simple, and the design and programming are not difficult. But why hasn't anyone done it? This is because there was no point in doing this kind of website until MP3 really became popular. Unless you have a computer at home, and you spend a lot of time listening to music in front of it.

Otherwise, what is the use of such a website?

Its function is to download songs into MP3 to listen to songs, in the era of Walkman, you can't use it at all. Except for a little music consultation, but this consultation, just look at music magazines and entertainment news, you can see it, why bother to look it up on the computer?

You know, not only MP3 was a luxury in those days, but so were computers. The average family wage is about 1,000 a month at most, and the general price of computers is around 2,000, and few people consume it.

"If it's pirated...."Lin Ming shook his head and said: "It definitely can't be done, although the current laws on the Internet are not perfect, and there are many loopholes." But making pirated music will still cause too many stains to itself, and even if our company becomes strong in the future, it will inevitably bury the root of turmoil. If an enterprise wants to become stronger and bigger, sailing as healthily and stably as a big ship, it must always stand within the scope of compliance with the law and cannot do anything illegal. Drilling legal leaks is like overloading and overloading when transporting goods. Although it seems that there is a lot of profit in a short time, once it encounters strong winds and waves, the ship will be destroyed and killed in an instant. ”

When Lin Ming conceived this music website very early, he had already planned to make a genuine website. Because a good website must always stand within the scope of the law to standardize its operation. In this way, there is no stain on the website, and even if someone wants to splash dirty water and competitors want to destroy it in the future, they will not be able to do it.

Like NetEase Cloud and Penguin Music in later generations, they all had the experience of piracy in the early days and have always been criticized. There have even been many cases of being sued for compensation, although it can't affect the status of these two music portals, but this is a big stain in itself.

Therefore, after returning from rebirth, Lin Ming did not think about piracy. After all, in the future, the state will pay more and more attention to copyrighted works, and in the early days, it will take advantage of legal loopholes and risk death to jump in, and in the future, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"If you don't do piracy, you won't be able to operate this website." Peng Chen shook his head: "Mr. Lin, you make music by yourself, you should be very clear about this." ”

Lin Ming smiled: "Not really, no one in this world can't get along with money." There is no copyright, just buy it. We want to be the first music portal not only today, but also the first in the future. If you can't insist on making genuine copies, pirated copies will definitely not be regularized and put on the table. That's why I insisted on making the genuine version. ”

"You are the boss, you make the decision, but the cost of buying the genuine copyright is not cheap. The copyright of a song can range from tens to hundreds of cheap, and thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars are expensive. Peng Chen frowned and said, "Unless we have hundreds of millions of funds to operate, we will definitely not be able to succeed." ”

In this era, it is not expensive to buy a song, like Dong Chou's song, which sells for thousands of yuan and is returned. Popular all over the country to seek Buddha, Xin Shiyan only used 200 yuan.

But to make a music website, you have to have a complete set of songs.

One or two songs are not worth much, if they are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of songs? Together, it's an astronomical amount.

Therefore, Peng Chen felt that it was impossible for the genuine website to work.

"So, on that point, I'll do it. As for the website, it's not online yet, because I have a new idea. Lin Ming pointed to himself and said, "I made original music, and I didn't learn music before, but I wrote songs myself." So I believe that there are countless people in China who like to write songs like me, but can't find a way to produce and publish them. So I came up with an original music production category, making a recording software and recording songs directly on the computer with headphones. We provide accompaniment and tuning software for covers, originals, and more. Attract a large number of people who love music to settle in, and it is best to have stars settle in to form an effect. ”

Peng Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "This idea is good, I think you can try it." If it's tuning software, it's not easy to make. I don't know much about music, unless I use some foreign software, if I do it myself, there are too many places involved. ”

"These technical things, you have to find a way to solve them. Business things, I find a way to get it. Lin Ming said: "I will try to get the copyright of some songs and put them on the website first, step by step, I can't become fat in one bite." ”

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Lin Ming left the network department and went straight to Hou Wenhui's office.

Although it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, Hou Wenhui had not yet gotten off work. It's not that he's diligent, it's that Momoki has now set up an advertising department. In July, the company had five albums on the market, and for a whole month, the advertising department had to work overtime to promote the records, and now they are calling the radio station everywhere to advertise.

When Lin Ming knocked on the door and entered, Hou Wenhui was calling Zhao Bin. Seeing Lin Ming come in, Hou Wenhui made a shushing gesture and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I'll ask the assistant to send you last month's report now, that's okay, that's it first." ”

Hanging up the phone, Hou Wenhui raised his mobile phone and said: "You came just in time, I just called Mr. Zhao to talk about MP3 and the company's transformation, Mr. Zhao attaches great importance to your opinion, he himself is now in Guangdong Province, so tomorrow he will send someone to investigate the market situation of MP3, and determine the two transformation plans you mentioned before and invest in my friend company that makes MP3." I just called my friend and asked, this kind of gadget, the market is quite rare, currently mainly popular in Guangdong Province, the price of the market is not yet certain. Here in Cloud City, I don't know if the Science and Technology City in the city center is in stock, I want to buy it. ”

Lin Ming remembered that Gao Xiang bought an MP3 in the bookstore last time, and said: "It should be in stock, I saw one last time in the largest bookstore on Xiangchun Road." However, it was bought by a very rich classmate of mine and cost 1288 yuan. After all, Hunan Province is close to Guangdong Province, and some of the turmoil there is easy to detect by shrewd businessmen. However, there should not be many goods, and the stock of the entire cloud city is very small, at least except for those large bookstores, technology stores, and mobile phone stores that may buy a few new ones, ordinary people will not think that there will be a market for such expensive and impractical things. But how to say it? Times are changing, and with the development of network technology, the popularity of MP3 is an inevitable trend. Not to mention Cloud City next year, even the whole country may be covered by this kind of thing. Its research and development level is not high, the cost is low, once the domestic MP3 comes out, the price is close to the people, I believe, it will soon be accepted by the market and the public, in a short time, the Walkman and tape recorder will be eliminated. Become a bellwether in the market. ”
