Chapter 2847 Google Music

The chip industry was born in Silicon Valley, called Fairchild.

Later, the employees of Fairchild Company gradually left and betrayed constantly. After these people left, they all founded their own chip companies... and then continued to betray and run away to create new chip companies. Just like a seed spreading its branches and leaves, it formed the current global chip industry pattern and grew into a towering tree.

Qualcomm is no exception.

Mr. Jacobs created a new chip direction, CDMA, which became the cornerstone of Qualcomm's development. When he retires and his son Jacob Jr. takes over, this will no longer work. He has lost control of the company, and industry elites from all walks of life have come together to dominate Qualcomm’s current decision-making power.

When Qualcomm was founded, he defected, so he went to San Diego in southwestern California, which is far away from Silicon Valley. However, as Qualcomm becomes larger and larger, Silicon Valley has always been a link they cannot avoid. The Silicon Valley R&D center is Qualcomm's most important business.

Anyway, they are all in California, not very far away, so Zhou Buqi is not in a hurry.

Go home and take a look first.

I saw Teacher Wen and Senior Sister Zhen Yu, kissed sisters Yaxian and Yameng, and finally even hugged Aunt Xue in front of Baoshan. If it was just a hug, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key to the hug was that Zhou Buqi's hands were not very trustworthy and he reached directly along her lower back and into her pants.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but pray that she wouldn't be discovered by others.

Wen Zhixia noticed it very keenly and walked over when she saw Xue Baoshan. If she walked behind Aunt Xue and saw the bulge in her pants, she would be sure to notice it immediately, move two steps quickly, block Aunt Xue's side, and pinch him through Aunt Xue's pants. Holding his hand, he asked with a smile: "Baoshan, how is your return to China this time? Are you pregnant?"

Xue Baoshan pursed her lips and smiled, "Not yet, we have to work hard."

Zhou Buqi let go of Aunt Xue with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Teacher Wen, Baoshan and I will go to your room tonight, let's work together?"

Wen Zhixia rolled her eyes at him.

No rejection.

In this matter, as long as Zhou Buqi opens his mouth, no one in the family will refuse, except Aunt Xue who refuses to do so.

After arriving home, Zhou Buqi went to take a bath first.

They all agreed to go to Teacher Wen's room in the evening, and the opportunity to be intimate now was given to sisters Yaxian and Yameng.

However, I didn’t soak in the bathtub for a while.

Wen Zhixia came over, then took a small stool and sat next to the bathtub. She turned a blind eye to the gentle look on his left and right and said, "There is one thing, please help me see if it's okay."

"things related to work?"

"Ah."

"Where is Zheng Xiaoli?"

"It's not your question." Wen Zhixia snorted, "She assigned me a task to be in charge of the Yahoo Music channel."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Good thing, I got promoted!"

There are too many channels under Yahoo, and Yahoo Music can be said to be one of the most inconspicuous channels. But even so, it was enough to make Wen Zhixia happy. This was the United States, and she became the person in charge of this channel. She could manage more than a dozen American employees.

Wen Zhixia said: "Do you think Yahoo Music has a chance to develop significantly?"

Zhou Buqi was holding Ya Meng in his arms on the left, and he was kissing her. When he heard this, he raised his head and asked a little strangely, "What big development?" Wen Zhixia said: "How about music streaming? I I’m still thinking about this matter, and I don’t dare to tell Zheng Xiaoli. Please help me with my advice first.”

Zhou Buqi didn't hesitate at all and made a decisive decision, "Not so good!"

Wen Zhixia frowned slightly, "Why? This direction is very hot now, and Google has already participated. Google's stock price has increased by 30% this year, and it has become the world's second-highest market value of 3600 billion US dollars. The big reason is that Google Launched music streaming business.”

"Google?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "When did it happen?"

Wen Zhixia said: "In the past few months, it was bundled with Android and pre-installed in Google's Android service. Not only Google, but Apple also launched such a service last month, and Amazon seems to be following suit soon. "

"I go!"

Only then did Zhou Buqi understand what Spotify had complained about before. He was intolerable and helpless about the record company's forced bundling sales model.

This is so confident!

Internet giants such as Google, Apple, and Amazon are all involved in the streaming music industry. They can easily drive up copyright prices, giving copyright owners with monopoly advantages greater room for negotiation.

Spotify disagrees, but those deep-pocketed Internet giants do.

It’s just a bundle sale, buy it or not!

Wen Zhixia said softly: "The effects on Apple haven't come out yet, so Amazon doesn't have to worry too much, but Google Music is so powerful now. After being bundled with Android, mobile phone users will automatically be bundled with the Google Music App after they upgrade the system. "

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "It's okay, we have Spotify."

Wen Zhixia was a little anxious, "Is Spotify really good? Google Music is growing very fast. Although the price is higher, it has the advantage of being bundled with the Android system. With Spotify's strength, can it compete? These overseas Android phones Users must have a gift package of Google services! ”

This is indeed Google’s big killer on the mobile side.

Relying on bundling with Android, Google’s service package includes more and more things, including Google Maps, Google Mail, Google Search, YouTube, Google Store, Google Chrome, Twitter, Google Wallet, Google Cloud Drive, etc.

By bundling Android, it is really difficult for similar competitors to compete.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, this strategy won't last long. The gift packages are getting bigger and bigger, and now they have negative effects. Many users are complaining about this uninformed bundling behavior, which can't even be deleted. Google It should be changed soon.”

Wen Zhixia shook his head slightly, "I don't think this is easy. How about Yahoo Music? Spotify is a European company. I'm a little worried."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Google can't make any decent products at the application level, even if it's bundled with Android, they can't beat Spotify. Well... What is Yahoo Music's main business now? Music information ?"

Wen Zhixia said: "Well, part of it is music information, some new album information, some artist news, etc., and there are also free music trials and music diversion. Yahoo App has a lot of traffic now. With such a large amount of traffic, Yahoo Music’s channel became popular instantly, with over 6000 million daily users! I asked, but Spotify’s daily users are only 5000 million, so it’s not a waste to divert all the traffic to others. ?”

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment, "Teacher Wen, let's change Yahoo Music's strategy and give up external guidance of traffic."

"what?"

Wen Zhixia was a little surprised.

Zhou Buqi continued: "Integrate Yahoo Music directly with Spotify. Except for retaining the information business, all other traffic will be given to Spotify. If you run this matter, you can promote Ziweixing International's strategic investment in Spotify. What you said Yes, since Apple, Google, and Amazon have all entered the market, Ziweixing must provide greater support to Spotify. The operation of streaming media is too complicated, so don’t bother and give resources to Spotify. , just let them do it themselves!”
