Chapter 45: A Ship
Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
July 29, 2002 is an important day for Mingran Technology. /p
/p
Mingran Technology's Tian Lai Music website was officially launched for trial operation, there are no ads on the page, the content is simple and clear, and the functions are quite complete, the fly in the ointment is that you can only find Chinese songs, and there are few English songs. /p
/p
Regarding this point, Lin Ming also hopes that Peng Chen will actively contact, but this is different from going to Hong Kong City to talk about cooperation with Baodao, he can still find people like Zhao Bin and Liang Xiaoyue to help take the lead in China, and it doesn't matter if he is really blind abroad and has no connections. Even if you go abroad, people may not be able to make an appointment. /p
/p
Therefore, Peng Chen sent an email to a foreign giant music company in the name of the company to discuss the cooperation, and at the same time saw if he could wait for the future to establish a good relationship with Universal Music Asia, and then meet with the senior management of their headquarters through them to talk about this step. /p
/p
Since the morning, Peng Chen and the company's staff have been staring at the background data, and after an hour, the background data has not changed, and the number of visits and downloads is still 0. /p
/p
Peng Chen was not discouraged, but rather optimistically asked the employees to click in to feel it and talk about their ideas. /p
/p
Li credited it for a while and gave a pertinent evaluation: "I think it's pretty good, there don't seem to be any music websites in China at present, only music forums." But the songs in these forums are not complete, and many of them are lossy music, and when you listen to them, there is not only noise, but sometimes even stuttering. Unlike our website, at least Chinese songs can be searched and not said, and the sound quality effects are all lossless music taken back from various music companies, with high quality, and we also provide download services, which can be stored in P3 or on the computer. It's just that the paid model doesn't seem to appeal to me, and if I were a consumer, I probably wouldn't want to spend money on songs. ”/p
/p
He said that the payment model will be launched soon, and the trial operation will not be on this function for the time being, but after the trial operation is over, the payment model will be officially launched. In other words, Li Xin felt that the trial version did not have this paid function, and he liked it very much. But if there is a payment after the official launch, it is difficult to say. /p
/p
Other employees feel the same way, because in their eyes, unless it is a necessity, the payment model is redundant in their eyes, and people will never pay to buy a genuine copy when there is a pirated download. /p
/p
But Peng Chen smiled and said: "Since we have gone to great lengths to sign so many genuine contracts, it naturally has its reason, just like the countless copycat pirates of Nike Adi, but the people who buy genuine Nike Adi are also like carp crossing the river, people want to enjoy a better quality of life, so they naturally have to spend money to buy it." ”/p
/p
Everyone nodded, although everyone was not very confident in this product, but since Peng Chen said it, everyone didn't care. Anyway, they didn't invest money to come in, and they just got paid well and did things, so much to worry about what to do. Whether you make money or not, whether you lose money or not, naturally the boss will bear it. /p
/p
After returning to his office, Peng Chen called Li Xin and asked, "How was the talk with NetEase?" ”/p
/p
"Almost, Mr. Lin's game planning plan NetEase is very interested, willing to invest in this project, we only provide planning, only account for 20 shares, they invest, produce, operate, account for 80, and at the same time they will their point card system, our payment model into it, there will be no commission." /p
/p
Li Xin is talking about talking about the card with NetEase, the current domestic game company, Shanda is the only one, but Lin Ming knows that the grand end of Nuoda will come to an end, so he must find an evergreen tree to talk about cooperation and payment. Mainly because of their own payment model, in 2002 in the backward era of online banking, network payment is very troublesome, so you need such a point card payment to run this payment system, but the point card system you have to go to an Internet café to shop the point of sale, so it is better to directly find a ready-made one to cooperate with. At present, the point card system is relatively open, the biggest is of course the current network giant Shanda, followed by NetEase. /p
/p
What about penguins, you might ask? /p
/p
Penguins are on the verge of life and death. There are hundreds of millions of registered users, but the company has no income, and it is struggling to operate, and it is always on the verge of bankruptcy. They don't even have a game right now, let alone a Q coin system and a point card system. It will not be until next year that the penguins will be on Montnets before they can slowly be operated. /p
/p
"Good." Peng Chen nodded and said: "Mr. Lin actually has a lot of good ideas in his head, but unfortunately our company is just starting now, and we don't have much strength and foundation to complete so many projects, so we can only find those big companies that have been formed to do it." ”/p
/p
Lin Ming naturally has a lot of good ideas in his head, and in terms of games, the Fantasy Journey to the West, which has been popular for more than ten years, is now being sold by him to NetEase. It's like if you steal your master's treasure, and then you run to your master's house to sell the stolen goods, and the person who lost the treasure doesn't know that you have a treasure. In addition to Fantasy Journey to the West, League of Legends and PUBG, two global games, also lingered in his mind. Especially in League of Legends, Lin Ming played from S2 to S6, and S7S8 also occasionally played to recall his youth. He still has some talent for games, although he only played League of Legends at the age of 25, but like Mr. Ma, he once played in the top ten of the kings of the first district. /p
/p
Later, as I got older, I had less and less time to play, and eventually fell to platinum. But those years are still what Lin Ming doesn't want to forget, playing Warcraft and Dota in college, and coming out to play the league after graduation, these top games that have stirred up the storm and made the entire game industry tremble, he doesn't want to let go of any of them. /p
/p
But now is not the time, first, there is no money, no technology, and second, these games are not the right time. If you do it now, if you don't have the right time, that's what you're talking about. /p
/p
Because of the current computer configuration, with a dream journey to the west, it may still be possible. But with League of Legends, the configuration is not something that a computer of two or three thousand yuan can drive. According to the computer configuration in 2002, at least 78,000 computers were required to run the S2 version, and the S8 version required at least 10,000 computers. /p
/p
As for PUBG? /p
/p
I can't take it with me if I wait another ten years, unless I spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to build a supercomputer, otherwise, this game can only be watched, not played. It will take at least 15 years to see the emergence of advanced graphics cards, such as the GTX960 in January 2015, before it can become popular. /p
/p
"By the way, Mr. Lin asked our Capital Film Academy to find a student named Ning Hao, is there any progress now?" Peng Chen suddenly remembered something, last week Lin Ming asked him to send someone to the Capital Film Academy to find someone named Ning Hao, but he hasn't replied yet. /p
/p
Li Xin said: "He Yuan called me yesterday, and I was about to tell you. The Capital Film Academy is now on vacation, and there are few teachers in the school, let alone students. He Yuan spent a lot of effort to find a school leader, he heard that we were going to invest 3.6 million to find a student from their school to make a movie, and he was very enthusiastic to help us find this student named Ning Hao everywhere, and finally through the school information, we found the student's home address in Shanxi and his father's phone number, and after talking to Ning Hao's father on the phone, He Yuan is now rushing to Shanxi non-stop. I guess there should be a reply next week, but I don't really understand it. ”/p
/p
"Oh?" /p
/p
Peng Chen said: "I don't understand anything. ”/p
/p
Li Xin scratched his already bald head and said, "He Yuan said that the student is only 25 years old this year. The major I studied was not the directing department, but the photography department. Mr. Lin went to such great lengths to find a 25-year-old student, is he really sure that he has the ability to make a movie? ”/p
/p
This doubt, in fact, Peng Chen also has it. But Peng Chen put these problems behind him in the blink of an eye, not to mention anything else, he was only 26 years old, and the company's chairman Lin Ming was younger than himself. So talent actually has nothing to do with age, what matters is whether you can do it or not. Some people have lived all their lives, seventy or eighty, and with so many life insights, will he make a movie with great depth? Will he be in business and keep the company in order? So a lot of things in this world don't depend on age. Why has the old saying that people cannot be disguised and the sea cannot be fought down for thousands of years? This is because the ancestors have already understood the truth that ambition is not in old age. /p
/p
Peng Chen shook his head and said, "Lao Li, you can't think like this. In this era, it is a time for young people, the world is changing with each passing day, and eight of the ten new companies on the market were founded by young people in their 20s. The old-fashioned idea of not being able to do things well is in the past tense, our chairman Mr. Lin is younger than you and me, but the big company is not supported by his own strength. So we have to believe in Mr. Lin's vision, since he thinks that finding this Ning Hao can solve the problem of the film and television division and video website that our company is about to prepare, it means that he will definitely be able to solve it. Because this is Mr. Lin's decision with a long-term vision, we must trust Mr. Lin and the people he chooses. Just like Mr. Lin must make genuine music, it is also very reasonable. In the future, when the country cracks down on piracy, all we do is genuine music, we will be in the ranks of the protected, and we will not be afraid of crooked shadows, and we will even cooperate with relevant national departments to deal with piracy. ”/p
/p
Peng Chen is now in a psychology close to an admirer for Lin Ming. In fact, when he first joined Mingran Technology, Peng Chen's idea was that since he could receive Taomu's salary and get 30 shares for free, why not? /p
/p
But now, his views have all changed with the new ideas that Lin Ming often puts forward. /p
/p
Because he himself is a network technology background, Peng Chen also has his own unique vision for the development and future of the future network. /p
/p
He found that many of Lin Ming's ideas and prospects for the Internet coincided with him, such as the rise of video websites in the future, which is an inevitable trend in Peng Chen's view. But when discussing with Lin Ming, he found that Lin Ming's arguments were not only more advanced than him, but also more complete in content. /p
/p
For example, the real-time barrage system, he can't think of such a thing. /p
/p
Therefore, when Lin Ming often talked to him about the prospects and plans of Mingran Technology, Peng Chen found that as long as he followed Lin Ming's plans, all their ideas in the future did not seem to be unrealizable. /p
/p
The only trouble is the lack of money. /p
/p
So Peng Chen had to find ways to help Lin Ming get the money back, such as making movies. Although in Peng Chen's opinion, Lin Ming's plan was very risky, I have to say that even if it was a risk, I had to help him complete it. Because of himself, he has been completely tied to this ship. /p
/p
It's just that some people are forced to be tied together with interests, and Peng Chen is willing to get on this thief ship. Now that we can't get out of the ship, we should try to repair the holes in the ship so that it can sail smoothly in the sea. /p
/p
Future. /p
/p
The ship may sink, or it may grow bigger and bigger, and eventually become an aircraft carrier. /p
/p
When the time comes, his future will also be bright. /p
