Reboot 2003

Chapter 103 010: Three million
Chen Qin glanced at the date, April [-]st should have passed.

When I opened it, I found that these three emails were really not a joke, but were sent by three companies related to me.

The first letter was from Lao Xu, and what he said was simple, that is, he had just sold a few domain names, and although most of them were still waiting for their value to rise, the blackmail he had done some time ago had been sold with domain names, such as eagame, sonygame, tencentgames, etc.

When Chen Qin registered at that time, he was actually a little confused. Why did no one register such an easy-to-find blackmail material... He also checked the dictionary and registered Shuangpin later, and he almost got it. He just tried it, but after entering it, he found that these domain names were still there.

But after thinking about it later, although Internet + games is a matter of course for him, but online games have just emerged in this era, probably games are not considered a major category of the Internet, and there are not many cross-track online game projects, so domain name speculators have not yet caught up.

But recently, the online game market is booming. Chen Qin’s domain names have only been registered for half a year, and some people have already bought them—I don’t know if the seller is a terminal, but the price is quite high.

Although these domain names can continue to appreciate in value, the risk of blackmailing domain names is relatively high, and you will be sued if you hold them in your hands, so Chen Qin sold them directly, and he is at ease when he pockets them early. Lao Xu sent him an email, asking if he should launder the money again...

Of course, this problem is not very important, and the second thing after that seems to be more important.

Since Yahoo entered the game, the two investors were not interested in the game business. Gu Wenjie spun off Moyou.com, but it was still a subsidiary of Kuaikan Media; Kuaikan Media recently planned to take the route of online games. The Internet cafe platform and the new pricing plan were developed in the head office, but the idea of ​​directly operating games in the head office was a little inappropriate, so after getting the approval of the board of directors, he planned to start a pilot project in Moyou company first.

Then it was just to test the waters, and it shouldn't be too big, so Gu Wenjie sent someone to South Korea next door to make a skin-changing online game called "Absolute Goddess". Although the game is not very good, the name is nice.

After the agent came back, he quickly promoted the opening of the server. He posted the advertisement picture of the fierce woman in the Internet cafe, and then directly opened the server. The net profit in the first month was 100 million, which was a lot of money.

This is also good news.

Even this has nothing to do with me, Chen Qin thought.

Kuaikan Media holds 30% of the Moyou company. Recently, the company has increased its holdings by 5%. The rest is basically invested by Gu Wenjie himself. Chen Qin was not interested at first, but Gu Wenjie insisted on giving him and Qiao Yongping 10% each. Qiao Yongping is an old traitor and always calls Chen Qin the boss...

It's okay, this company can make more money, at least it can support the main website of Moyou.com.

Chen Qin still didn't pay much attention to this email, but it was different after the third email.

But the wind blows over suddenly.

This email was sent from his own galaxy software. Normally, Sun Xiaomei would not come to him for anything, but today there was something... But someone sent money to the company, and the money was not too much, exactly 100 million.

But to be honest, it didn't come all of a sudden.

Chen Qin bought a bunch of digital buyout rights for movies and records from Celestial Warner in January, and later signed some domestic record companies one after another to prepare for the CRBT boom.

The CRBT trend started in 2003—there were 12 million CRBT users in December last year. In fact, this is already a lot, but the main reason is that the products have not kept up with it, and many regions have not opened it.

Since the beginning of this year, China Mobile has regarded CRBT as a new growth point, and its publicity and investment have increased significantly. During this period, those traditional mobile service providers have entered the market one after another, and the CRBT market has only begun to flourish.

Of course, Chen Qin bought a bunch of copyrights, so he couldn't just wait.

However, his company is not very easy to do business that is too complicated. In short, he has assigned three tasks to the company.

There is only one task to be done on weekdays, described with if...then sentences, which is to stare at the main websites of major service providers.

If... someone uses music from their own copyright library, then... directly send a lawyer's letter.

Don't lose money, don't go to court, just ask the other party to take it down immediately, send it to the infringing service provider, and send it to China Mobile.

If the service provider doesn't care, it will go to the operator, and if the operator doesn't care, it will go to the China Music Copyright Association... When buying the copyright before, Chen Qin had asked Sun Xiaomei to register there.

And after confirming this business logic, Galaxy Company's legal affairs have nothing else to do. These days, Wen Jianing, Lu Rong, and another intern from the legal department have nothing else to do, so they just send emails...

In short, until April, the content of the copyright library at hand has been well maintained.

Although there is no way to control other infringing content on the Internet, there are not many CRBT service providers at present. A few of them stare at these sp companies and send lawyers' letters, and the copyright content is basically cleaned up.

Although no compensation or compensation is required, it can be regarded as a reputation in the industry——

Those value-added service providers are probably really annoyed, knowing that this is a hard bone that doesn't get into oil and salt.I don't know what's thinking behind it, and I don't want money, so I don't want people to make money.

And it was just a bit of copyright—

Now China’s Internet is an environment where piracy is rampant. No one can control the external network like nepster, which is beaten by the copyright owner like a grandson, and Baidu Music. The download of ringtones before is also a lot of thunder and rain. In fact, few people are willing to pay to download genuine music.

but……

CRBT is different after all.

First of all, it is the consumption of ringtones at the operator's end. Whether it is downloading, playing or selecting, it must go through the operator's barrier. As part of the national will, China Mobile and China Unicom cannot officially support infringement activities in their official capacity. On the other hand, they also shoulder some other missions other than profit.

And this 'mission' has already begun to emerge from the SMS business.

As a part of industrial support, the SMS business has helped China's Internet companies get through the most difficult bubble period. Although the industry is recovering, China Mobile will only increase its efforts with a mission. Of course, China Unicom's Xuanling business is the same.

And here comes the problem.

Since the industry needs to be supported, Internet companies are of course pampered children who need to be cared for. The recording and traditional performing arts industries also need to develop. Although they are not directly supported, at least within the legal framework, communication operators will not do such thankless things as infringement.

In this case, the situation of those content with copyright risks will become very embarrassing——

From the content point of view, no matter how concealed it is, the content provided is for the public. As long as the copyright owner reports it to China Mobile, it will definitely be verified.

And as long as it is confirmed that there is a copyright dispute, because all transactions are calculated through phone charges, that is to say, the illegal income will be clear as soon as the account is checked, and there is no room for sloppy eyes...

Under such circumstances, the power of copyright is of course difficult to measure, and this is a new version that today's Internet companies have never seen.

And as we all know, the business game is a man-to-man game.

It may be much easier to deal with a stupid opponent, but sometimes it may be much more troublesome to make a stupid opponent abide by some established rules and jump into a dug trap than to deal with a smart opponent.

And this is why Chen Qin intentionally 'waited' for two months. Although the copyright in his hand has an expiration date, during these two months, Chen Qin rejected all cooperation invitations, and first popularized the rules of the game to his peers.

Now it is actually possible to enter the arena. While constantly fighting, Sun Xiaomei has actually talked with those service providers.

Most of them gave a sharing agreement with quite generous conditions, and they waited for Xiangjiang to transfer it over and ask Mr. Chen to sign and seal it...

But even so, the wind blows a little fiercely... It hasn't even started to make money, and the money has come to the company by itself.

However, lawyers' letters were sent everywhere in the previous incident, and those infringing ring tones were of course taken off the shelves.

However, it is inconvenient to directly interrupt the service of the color ring tone that has been ordered by the user...

Although if Chen Qin insisted, those services should be suspended immediately.

But Chen Qin also pointed to relying on operators to make a fortune.

This time, it is just to educate the peers. Of course, it is not necessary to use this chicken feather as an arrow to make life difficult for the operator.

So his appeal is that as long as the CRBT is taken off the shelves, it will be fine. However, the operator has little experience in copyright management. There were no copyright disputes in the MMS and SMS value-added services before. Regarding the CRBT, although they have already been planning, they are not very good at handling such copyright disputes.

Now the copyright content has been taken off the shelves, but since the ring tones that have already been sold are not refundable, what should I do with the money?

It seems inappropriate to give it to the service provider, so just give it all to the copyright owner.

So they planned to directly send the relevant income sharing for these two months to Galaxy Media...

Just today, China Mobile directly sent a manager to Galaxy Media's office building with a bag of money.

The eyes of the people in the company stared straight, and Sun Xiaomei and several senior executives panicked, so they hurriedly looked for the boss.

Apart from saying that the company has made money, I really don't know what to do: "People from China Mobile came to the door with 100 million, what should we do?"
