I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 277 Player?What is it for?

That night, Fadell offered to eat roast duck, and his reasons were very good.

"Lucy said Yanjing's roast duck is delicious!"

Lin Xiao looked at Dong Meilan, Lucy was Dong Meilan's English name.

Dong Meilan said with a smile: "In Silicon Valley, Fadell talked about food in front of me several times, and asked me to recommend Chinese food. I told him that there are many Chinese food, and then he asked me to recommend anything."

"This taste is indeed acceptable to them." Lin Xiao smiled, "Then eat roast duck."

So, that night, Lin Xiao heard Fadell say all night, "It's so delicious!" "It tastes great!"

Not to mention the language, Chinese is still awesome, comments like this can probably be used in all delicious food reviews.

In Chinese, however, it is much more vivid. For example, the skin of roast duck is crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fruity fragrance.

Lin Xiao tried to tell Fadell these adjectives, but failed in the end. Foreigners still don't understand the set of things left by their ancestors, and even if they translate them, they don't have the same taste.

Or let them have a good time.

The next day, Lin Xiao brought Fadell to Wangfujing.

Since Lin Xiao said last time that he would spend a lot of money to build a retail experience store, Yang Guanbin arranged for people to start looking for a place. He just found a storefront in Wangfujing where there is a lot of traffic a few days ago.

The store has an area of ​​200 square meters. It used to be a clothing store, and there is still a one-month lease.

Originally, the merchant was hesitating whether to renew the lease, but according to Lin Xiao's intention, after Evergu Technology bought the entire store directly, it notified the merchant that it wanted to use it for itself, so the merchant no longer hesitated.

When Lin Xiao and others came, they could already see that the merchants were starting to clear out the goods, and they should be vacated after the lease period expired in one month.

"Fadell, I am going to build a retail experience store here."

Lin Xiao pointed to the storefront, said to Fadell, and then began to tell the other party his general ideas, such as setting up different experience areas for different types of music.

"That's so cool!" Fadell's eyes began to light up after hearing this, and then asked Lin Xiao anxiously:

"Boss, will we also set up a retail experience store like this in the United States? Put it on the streets of New York, I believe it will attract many music lovers."

"Of course!" Lin Xiao nodded, "After our products are launched in the United States, we will immediately prepare to build a retail experience store."

"Cool!" Fadell yelled, "I will definitely go to that experience store often, I have a hunch there, I can hear enough compliments."

Lin Xiao said to Fadell at this time: "Man, next, we have to do something to enhance the experience of users."

"Boss, tell me, I like your ideas more and more." Fadell immediately said expectantly, and he found himself more and more fond of some ideas that popped up in Lin Xiao's mind from time to time.

These ideas are so fresh, and for him, who is already very passionate and a bit rebellious, it is very suitable.

Lin Xiao took Fadell and others back to the car, and then continued: "Next, we need a player, the kind used on computers."

"The player used on the computer?" Fadell said with some surprise. "What do we need it for?"

what is it used for?This will be of great use, Lin Xiao said to himself.

In fact, after deciding to make Gpod, Lin Xiao has been thinking about how to make Gpodt get more support from musicians, and at the same time use this gadget to cut into the huge market of digital music in the United States.

Can Gpod be used in the United States now?Of course, although the United States attaches great importance to intellectual property rights, it does not mean that there is no piracy in the United States.

In fact, there have been many music pirated software in the United States in the past two years, which has also impacted the sales of records to a certain extent.

So even in the United States, Gpod does not have to worry about the source of the songs at all.

However, if the Gpod becomes popular, Lin Xiao believes that he will definitely face accusations and resistance from people in the American music circle, so it is very important to solve the issue of music source copyright.

This is also one of the reasons why Apple made a music store in the previous life.

In particular, Apple's closed system made it impossible for ordinary pirated software and websites to download music to Apple's computers at that time, unless authorized by Apple. accusation.

After all, the computer belongs to Apple, and the system also belongs to Apple.

Switching to Gpod, because it is adapted to the windows system, there are already pirated websites and software, and the accusations faced by Eternal Technology will be smaller.

But once there are huge interests involved, for example, after Gpod sales increase, many people import songs by downloading pirated versions, and disputes are inevitable.

So Lin Xiao realized that developing another music player, and then finding a suitable opportunity to find a way to cooperate in digital music copyright with several major music giants in the United States is the long-term solution.

Of course, if this is achieved, with the emphasis placed on music copyright in the United States, the income from digital music must be considerable.

Because this involves some strategic issues behind the company, Lin Xiao does not intend to drag Fadell out.

So he said to Fadell: "Fadell, our goal is to create better products for music lovers, so we not only need to create Gpod, because not all music lovers have the strength to buy Gpod, but also Not every Gpod user will always use MP3 to listen to music."

"There are still a lot of music lovers who need to listen to songs on the computer, and they need a good music player."

Seeing that Fadell seemed to be about to speak, Lin Xiao immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me that the music software that has appeared now, their playback interface, and the cumbersome operation make me not interested at all."

"Are they as cool as our Gpods? Are they as convenient to use? Apparently not."

When Fadell heard this, he finally couldn't help but said proudly: "Of course not. The design of those music players is simply incomparable with Gpod. Compared with the software program of Gpod, those programs are shit!"

"That's it!" Lin Xiao followed up: "So, we need to use the concept of building Gpod to create a brand new music player, so that all music hobbies can enjoy the experience of Gpod level."

Fadell touched his white-dyed hair, and said a little excitedly: "It sounds like a good idea, it can make music lovers feel better about the company, and it can also make them more willing to pay for Gpod. "

"That's right!" Lin Xiao continued.

"Moreover, we can also add some functions to this player. For example, we can convert the songs in CD into MP3 format, and it is also convenient for people to download and import their favorite songs into Gpod."

After listening to it, Fadell immediately patted his thigh and said: "In this way, those fans who want to support genuine music will no longer need to pirate and download music through service providers such as Napster."

"Boss, as a genuine music lover, I really like your suggestion!"

Lin Xiao smiled after hearing this, and then said to Fadell: "So, this player is useful, isn't it?"

"Of course, it's very useful. Give me some time, and I'll get it done in a short time." Fadell said to Lin Xiao confidently.

Lin Xiao smiled and said to Fadell after listening, "Yes, I believe, just like you did with Gpod before."

"Oh, Fadell, I forgot to tell you, 250 million yuan has already been credited to the account of the Silicon Valley R&D Center. When you return to Silicon Valley, you can distribute the rewards."

"Great!" Fadell immediately grinned at this moment, and then asked Dong Meilan, "Lucy, when should we book a flight back home?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning we will leave Yanjing." Dong Meilan replied.

"It's good news, I feel like I want to work."
