[Chapter 240: Content and Platform]
The Big Three looked at Ren Hong without saying a word, quietly waiting for his next step.
"Inviting you to come this time is naturally the possibility of business cooperation, the so-called cooperation ......" Ren Hong organized a language and continued: "...... As a content producer, you provide high-quality content and artists to hold concerts, while Matrix Technology provides technical support to create a similar stage in the video, providing a platform for 'content' to show. β
Ren Hong said one by one: "At present, Matrix Technology has set up a subsidiary, and at that time, we will spend between 100 billion and 150 billion US dollars to cover the MST third-party platform around the world. β
At the same time as Ren Hongxu spoke, the spotlight screen once again showed a map of the world, and the famous metropolises of various countries around the world were marked with signs. The three of them had already learned the preliminary answer when they heard each other's words. A shock ensued, and it was clear that Matrix Technologies wanted to integrate all the resources in this field. Trying to replicate the industry as a video game model, Matrix Technology will serve as a complete platform provider that reaches the world, with record labels and artists as content producers, and fans and consumers participating.
What shocked the three of them even more was that Matrix Technology threw $150 billion, which is obviously not a joke, but to be real, so much investment, obviously, Matrix Technology's ambition to integrate resources in this area is unstoppable.
Ren Hong looked at the three silent record company directors and said with a smile: "At that time, it will become a complete industrial chain and ecological model, with multi-party participation and win-win results, strong alliances, I have a platform, you have content, and everyone makes money together, why not?" β
At the same time, Ren Hong emphasized again, saying: "Since the establishment of Matrix Technology, we have a very clear positioning of ourselves, we never make content, we only 'play' technology, so you don't have to worry that I will rob you of your business." β
Having said that, the three leaders still felt a little worried, and they knew very well that if Matrix Technology really built a complete MST platform that radiated the entire earth, the "Big Three" in the future would have to look at the face of Matrix Technology if they wanted to hold a concert.
No matter how good the content is, if the platform doesn't give you resources, you won't be able to play. It's like a natural shackle, which makes people feel uncomfortable. The big three record companies must have their own channels, but after watching that video, they were worried about the competitiveness of their platforms.
The three rulers who came here were not stupid people, why did Ren Hong suddenly add the last sentence, they heard something elseβthe smell of threat. The implication of the other party is that although Matrix Technology does not play content, it does not mean that it will not play, but it just does not want to play, and if the three major companies do not play together, then Matrix Technology will play alone.
They know very well that the power of capital is unparalleled, and Matrix Technology has endless capital, and the three leaders will not have the slightest doubt, Matrix Technology is ready to invest $150 billion to build the MST platform, how can so much money be wasted? Then throw tens of billions of dollars, perhaps, the fourth largest record company will appear in the field of record industry, matrix technology can completely use money to smash its own content producer, integrate content and platform, and achieve self-sufficiency.
And fighting capital with matrix technology is simply self-defeating.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" For a long time, after they thought about it for a while, Ren Hong asked intentionally or unintentionally.
The CEO of Warner Records hurriedly smiled: "This matter is more important, Warner must hold a high-level meeting, and will give you an answer in three days." β
The other two chimed in.
Ren Hong shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, but he also reminded him and said with a smile: "No matter what, the determination of Matrix Technology will not change, and the investment of 150 billion US dollars is the weight of this determination." Speaking of this, Ren Hong paused for a moment and said extremely strongly: "The result is obvious, in my opinion, you can make a decision now." Actually, I don't really want the media to report an article that says that a subsidiary of Matrix Technology is going to be the fourth largest record label in the world, and I hate making content, so I found you who do content. β
The hearts of the three rulers are beating wildly. hasn't started yet, isn't it destined to be suppressed in the future if it is so aggressive and aggressive? The so-called peers are enemies, and they don't want to have a fourth big one to snatch the cake from themselves.
"Mr. Cherus is right, if you don't even have this vision, then there is nothing to say, besides, there is no conflict between making a platform and making content, the two complement each other, and cooperation is king." I saw the CEO of Sony BGM pandering with a smile: "Sony can give you an exact reply today, but after all, the matter is not small, I still need to discuss with the headquarters for a while, and I will give you an exact reply in the afternoon?" β
"Yes!" Ren Hong said with a smile.
Suddenly, others chimed in. There is no way, the situation is stronger than people, even the parent company behind it is unwilling to fight with it, and they are even less qualified.
When the three of them walked out of this conference room, they all sighed leisurely.
"It seems that in the future, we will have to look at XlouS's face." The head of Universal Music sighed.
The CEO of Warner Records shook his head and smiled: "Hey, someone has to choose to compromise, but Matrix Technology is right, it is indeed a strong combination." We should be glad buddy, glad that Matrix Technology is not interested in our field at all, look at the final destination of those technology companies in the world that compete with Matrix Technology, not to mention far, let's just say that the nearest Apple Apple is almost reduced to a worker of Matrix Technology, and it will pay half of the benefits to xiaoU assistant in an emerging market, even such a giant has to bow to him, not to mention us 'little minions'? β
"That's right, there's no shame in compromising with such a behemoth, and we're not compromised."
Competing with Matrix Technology? Are you kidding?
The heads of the three record giants did not leave the headquarters of Matrix Technology, the headquarters prepared a top rest suite for the three of them, and they also sent the communication to the other end of the United States during this time period, in fact, it was just a formality, because there is no reason not to cooperate, obviously, competing or cooperating with Matrix Technology, the choice between the two, those who do not have a convulsive brain will choose the latter.
There is no irreconcilable conflict between the platform supplier and the content supplier in terms of core interests, and while thinking about both sides to eat, they also need to weigh their own appetites.
In the afternoon, when the two sides met again, there were not too many accidents, cooperation has become inevitable, a paper agreement was made, the three major record helmsmen stayed for two days, and the trip to China was over, and according to the agreement, after they returned to China, the two sides would announce the news of the cooperation to the outside world.
