I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 400 The Road Jobs Walked!
Inktomi's stock was sold off, and although Nasdaq ushered in another decline, it has not fallen as crazy as before.

Therefore, there are no other stocks that can be sold to liquidate the remaining targets in the future investment.

It happened that Lin Xiao was going to the Silicon Valley subsidiary of Eternal Technology that afternoon, so he asked Lan Yumo to go with him.

"Hey, Boss, see our final product next year."

In the Silicon Valley Eternal Technology subsidiary, as soon as Lin Xiao and Lan Yumo entered, Fadell immediately greeted him, and then said to Lin Xiao with excitement and credit.

"Okay, let's go and see together!"

Lin Xiao walked up to a computer with Lan Yumo, who looked confused. At this time, Gplayer was opened on the computer.

Lan Yumo also has a Gpod, and he often uses Gplayer to listen to music, convert formats and download, so he recognized this software at a glance.

It's just that there seems to be some differences from the Gplayer I was used to before. Although the style is still the same, the interface seems to be different.

"Let's see and feel the real Gplayer."

At this moment, Lin Xiao spoke, then he turned his head and said to Lan Yumo:
"The Gplayer we released before was a stand-alone version, which can only be regarded as the basic version of Gplayer, and this is the online version of Gplayer, and it is also the real Gplayer!"

"Online version?" Lan Yumo muttered softly.

Lin Xiao nodded without explaining too much. At this time, he sat down and started to operate on the opened software page.

Lan Yumo saw that Lin Xiao clicked on a place similar to a search box, and then entered the song title "My Heart Will Go On".

Lan Yumo is no stranger to this song. The theme song of the movie "Titanic" just won Best Song at the 41st Grammy last year.

What makes Lan Yumo a little strange is that after Lin Xiao entered the name, a song soon appeared on the Gplayer page list. Lin Xiao tapped it lightly, and soon the familiar song music.

Lan Yumo wasn't surprised by all this before, but what really surprised her was that after listening for more than ten seconds, she suddenly saw Lin Xiao click a button called download.

"The song was not downloaded to this computer just now?"

At this moment, Lan Yumo couldn't help but asked Lin Xiao curiously.

Lin Xiao replied with a smile: "That's right, the song was stored in the company's server just now, and it has not been downloaded. If I need to put it in the Gpod, I need to download it."

"This is the online version of Gplayer, which has its own music library. After logging in, music lovers don't need to copy the music in their CD to the computer, then convert the format, and then download it. You can even put it in the computer without buying a CD. , you can listen to songs directly online.”

When Lin Xiao said this, his tone changed slightly: "Of course, this is not yet open to the public, because we haven't been authorized by the music company yet."

"However, we have realized the necessary functions, such as listening to songs online, downloading, commenting and exchanging..."

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lan Yumo's cold eyes flickered slightly.

Even though she is not a professional in this field, she can still think that if this product is really launched, it will definitely be loved by users.

You only need to open the computer software to search for your favorite songs, and you can listen to them immediately. You no longer need to buy CDs, and you can also listen to and download with one button, which is much more convenient than before.

The only obstacle now seems to be the issue of music copyrights. After all, the national conditions of the United States and China are different. At this stage in China, everyone is engaged in piracy, and basically there is no strong sense of copyright.

But in the United States, there is a very complete legal system for copyright. If a company dares to infringe so blatantly, it will definitely face complaints from the copyright owner.

But Lan Yumo thought that Lin Xiao had mentioned this question just now, so he knew that he must have already wanted to know this.

Lin Xiao really thought about this a long time ago, which is why when he launched Gpod and Gplayer, he didn't take one step to use the real Gplayer version.

After several months of deliberation, Lin Xiao felt that the time was almost ripe.

At this moment, Lin Xiao searched for a song, tried the online listening and downloading functions, and then tried other functions of the entire software one by one.

Such as music categories, online reviews, etc...

Many of the functions and layouts here were proposed and modified by him in the past few days.

After trying the entire software, Lin Xiao said to Fadell very satisfied: "Guys, you did a good job. The software has met all my requirements. This is a mature product."

"Hey, BOSS, the key lies in your series of mature ideas, and we are just the implementers of your ideas." Fadell said sincerely.

When Fadell received Lin Xiao's proposal to develop the online version of Gplayer, the shock was no less than when he first heard Lin Xiao's idea of ​​Gpod.

Originally, he thought that the current Gplayer was already an excellent software, unique in the entire Internet.

But he didn't expect that Lin Xiao would be able to upgrade the software on this basis.

When this product came out, Fadell was undoubtedly extremely excited. As a music lover, he knew very well that if such a product could be launched smoothly, it would drive all music lovers crazy!
Of course, this product is still facing a huge problem, which is what Lin Xiao said now.

"Now, the only thing we have to do is find a few music giants and reach an agreement with them to obtain their digital music authorization. Of course, this is not an easy task."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Fadell asked again: "Have we found the person we are looking for?"

Fadell replied immediately: "Yes, BOSS, he will come to our company to meet you tomorrow morning."

"Well, I hope he can agree and help us facilitate these cooperations." Lin Xiao said with some expectation.

Of course, Lin Xiao also knew that it was not easy to do all this.

In the United States, the vast majority of music copyrights are held by the five major record companies Warner Music, Universal, BMG, EMI, and Soni.

These companies are not easy to deal with, let alone other things, and among them, Suo Ni Records is the company held by the island country Suo Ni.

However, even if it is difficult, Lin Xiao has to do it. On the one hand, digital music is a huge cake. On the other hand, if the issue of music copyright is not resolved, Gpod is not perfect after all. Now users want to download songs to Gpod. Still too complicated.

Only by truly opening up the chain from music copyright to music software to MP3, can I truly maintain my dominant position in this industry!
This is also the path Jobs took with Apple in the previous life.

The products have already been sniped, so let yourself go this way.
