Chapter 60 Understanding the Situation

While waiting for Liu He to record the song, Lin Ming went to the fourteenth floor to take a look at the situation of Mingran Technology.

Now Mingran Technology has a certain scale.

After Lin Ming negotiated with Hou Wenhui and Liang Xiaoyue, they vacated two more houses on the 14th floor as the offices of Mingran Technology.

Because the fourteenth floor belongs to the artist management team, strictly speaking, the entire floor is more than 1,000 square meters, all of which are Director Jiang's place. Suddenly, inexplicably inserted into the company of a company director, Director Jiang was naturally very dissatisfied, and also piggybacking on Lin Ming with some opinions.

Fortunately, some time ago, the company's artists were on fire, causing the artists at the top to go out to make money, either often on TV outside, doing programs, or attending various activities and evenings, and they were very busy, and the company's fourteenth floor for them for performing arts and rehearsals was idle. This gave Mingran Technology a loophole and occupied nearly one-third of the working land. The remaining small artists are naturally impossible to compete with Lin Ming, the director. The available places are a little smaller, and I can only endure grievances and rehearse carefully. Anyway, they don't live in the company, more than 1,000 square meters, nearly a dozen rehearsal rooms, which is enough.

Peng Chen is busy in the office, and now after becoming the general manager of Mingran Technology, he rarely does technical work. Only tell yourself and Lin Ming's ideas to the technical department, and then leave them to deal with.

In Mingran Technology, the ultra-high salary is not in vain, and the employees are naturally people with real skills.

Now the Ethereal Music Network is doing the final debugging, and with the August month, the MP3 invested by Taomu Music was successfully put into production. Under the negotiation between Lin Ming and Hou Wenhui, the Ethereal Music Network will connect with the MP3 over there, and each MP3 produced will come with some songs, with the prefix in it, and there will be advertisements for Ethereal Music.

For example, there is a song by Zhang Ziqi "The First Dream" in an mp3, on that very small screen, in the prelude of the song, it will appear, the song title: The Initial Dream. Singer: Zhang Ziqi. The title of the album is "The First Dream" - Tian Lai Music Network and other words.

This kind of advertising is very cleverly played, with a small investment and a large return. Because the lyrics will be displayed on the song screen, many people who want to learn songs will stare at that screen, and after watching it for a long time, they will subconsciously regard Tian Lai Music as the only genuine music website. It's like when you go online every day, the first thing you do is open the penguin, and it is a reason to log in to your penguin number. Because in your subconscious, it's as if the only communication software in this world is penguins. So even if countless communication software appeared later, it could not shake the status of penguins. What Lin Ming is doing now is to subtly change people's thoughts and concepts, so that they only think of one thing in their hearts.

After buying mp3, if you want to download more music, you can only find Ethereal Music!

Moreover, in the music consultation of the website, Lin Ming also asked people to hang the information that Tian Lai Music Network is the only genuine authorization. The information inside will tell people that Tian Lai Music Network is the only major music company authorized in China, with the best sound quality and the highest quality, while other websites are pirated and the sound quality is very poor.

This information can be completely grandiose on the Internet, and I am not afraid of other people's complaints. Unlike many shampoo advertisements, when comparing with inferior shampoos, they didn't even dare to put on the brand, but Lin Ming did.

Because he is the only genuine, which is equivalent to a monopoly industry. If those inferior pirated copies dare to stand up and accuse him, they will let Mingran Technology find a target to hit.

Shoot the first bird, that's the truth. Therefore, pirated websites can only shrink their heads, and it is best not to let Lin Ming find out. When Mingran Technology grows and the legal department is becoming more and more perfect, with a strong foundation and legal support, Lin Ming will not have to worry about a lawsuit when the time comes.

In addition to the imminent launch of Ethereal Music, the second project done by Mingran Technology is Weibo. Don't look at the domestic Weibo, it will not mature until Sina Weibo is launched in 2009. But as early as 2006, such products were already available abroad. It's a titter, commonly known as Twitter. And this idea was proposed back in 2001 by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. Therefore, Mingran Technology's current research and development is not a plan that transcends the times. Now it is the era of blogging in China, and people still like to have their own personal websites. The number of blogs is growing every day, and it is not easy to develop a microblog and grab people from it.

But the good thing is that the two products are not in conflict, because blogs are personal portals, which are somewhat like penguin spaces. Weibo can be understood as a communication information and social website, similar to WeChat Moments. Why is the circle of friends so popular in later generations, it is not to satisfy people's desire to show themselves.

Under the condition of meeting people's needs, this product will definitely become popular, because it is more in line with the market trend.

And in 2002, such a product was still a one-of-a-kind. It's not too difficult to really get up and running. In this golden age of Internet development, I have to say that the opportunity is too good, and there is gold almost everywhere, depending on whether you have a pair of eyes that can be discovered.

Seeing Lin Ming coming in, Peng Chen hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, don't call when you come, I'll make you tea." ”

In private, Lin Ming has also said many times, but Peng Chen's emotional intelligence is too high, and he will elevate others by belittling himself. There will be no chance to offend others at all, but Lin Ming, in front of outsiders, will not show too much respect for Peng Chen. Because this is conducive to maintaining the majesty of his own chairman.

Lin Ming smiled: "No need senior, I'm just here to see the current situation of the company." ”

Peng Chen was actually not stupid, through some clues, he had already guessed that Lin Ming was not a student of Songnan University at all, let alone his own junior. But he will be a man, and after the company is on the right track, he will not give up his high salary and so many shares stupidly, and quarrel with Lin Ming.

Although Mingran Technology currently has no income, Lin Ming can do it if he has income. In the whole month of July, plus Lin Ming's album for the new era in June, it brought nearly 10 million profits to Taomu, and Lin Ming took more than 500,000 yuan in dividends alone. This part of the money, except for Lin Ming to lend 300,000 yuan to his aunt, was all on the books of Mingran Technology. Now with the 3.6 million invested by Zhao Bin and the 1 million they borrowed, even if a lot is used now, there are still nearly 4 million on the books. Although most of them must be used to make movies for Ning Hao, Mingran Technology's monthly consumption is not large, and Lin Ming's continuous investment can fully support the company's expenses.

Although Lin Ming has some debts outside, such as Zhao Bin's 5 million.

But this is no longer Peng Chen's business, what Peng Chen needs to do is to do his part and earn his own penny. If you shouldn't worry about something, you don't have to meddle. That's what a smart person should do.

Taking advantage of this time, Peng Chen reported the company's situation to Lin Ming, and also told Lin Ming some of his ideas.

Mingran Technology wants to be a big ship, and wants to involve a little bit in all aspects of the Internet industry, and achieve the leading position. The ambition is not small, but since Lin Ming has been reborn as a later life, it is not indispensable to have a more comprehensive idea. Because if you look at an unsuccessful thing with the eyes of success, you can always find ideas.

After taking a look at the accounts and some things currently operating in the company, Lin Ming was very satisfied with the progress, and chatted with Peng Chen for a long time, talking about the next strategic purpose and some phalanxes of the company in the future, and then he left unsatisfied.

It is not difficult to infuse one person's mind into another. As long as he approves of you, Peng Chen's many thoughts coincide with Lin Ming, and he has long regarded Lin Ming as a person with a long-term vision. Therefore, some of his thoughts, for Peng Chen, are what he wants to do, and it is easier to convince.

On the contrary, it was Hou Wenhui and Zhao Bin, every time they negotiated with them, it made Lin Ming feel a headache. Because they don't think the same way as you do, they think differently. As the saying goes, the ass decides the head, the two of them are businessmen, they value the benefits you can bring to him, and they will never choose to believe in you and support your decision because of your empty mouth and white teeth. So every time Lin Ming wants to get their support, he has to come up with a lot of benefits or value, so that they feel that they have a advantage in exchange for some opportunities. However, Lin Ming didn't care about their thoughts, in his opinion, some people can be good partners in your cooperation. For example, Peng Chen. Some people can only be tied up with interests, such as Zhao Bin and Hou Wenhui. There are also others who can be your mentors and friends, such as Liang Xiaoyue. When it comes to Liang Xiaoyue, Lin Ming found that he is not actually a person who is so keen on business and making money, he is personally more artistic, suitable for creation and artistic work.

Like the music library of the peach wood company, except for a small number of high-quality songs by Lin Ming. Most of the songs were made by the composition team led by Liang Xiaoyue, and only a small part of them were purchased into the music library by asking for songs outside.

Therefore, if you compare, Liang Xiaoyue is more like a factory technician than a manager.

The relationship with Lin Ming will also undergo some changes because of different positions. Liang Xiaoyue actually cares about feelings very much, such as his relationship with Liu He, who is also a teacher and friend, is very revealing. At least in other companies, there will never be idle people like Liu He who often come to the department to wander around and jump around.

Therefore, Lin Ming felt that Liang Xiaoyue was more suitable to be friends.

Leaving Mingran Technology, Lin Ming returned to the recording studio downstairs. He saw that Liu He had finished recording, and it was not easy to record a song, just like making a movie, it may take many times to achieve a perfect effect. A tuner is not omnipotent, but a tuner plus a good singer is enough to do whatever he wants.

So if you want to do better, you have to try one at a time.

waited until more than three o'clock in the afternoon before Liu He reluctantly left. He chatted with Song Fatzi for a while, although the last recording was perfect. But he still wanted to know what his shortcomings were before, so he delayed for a long time.

Lin Ming didn't have chemistry class today, his mother's father had a 70th birthday, and the teacher's whole family went to celebrate his birthday, and Lin Ming and Li Sisi were given a half-day off, which can be regarded as making the nervous study in the past few days a little less tight.

So Lin Ming and Liu He walked out of the Taomu Company on a sunny afternoon this weekend and strolled through the streets of the city center.

Then he saw Enron.
