Reboot 2003

Chapter 108 015: Sports Meeting
Early the next morning, Wen Jianing of Galaxy Software and the interns in the other two business departments each left a letter of resignation and went to start a business.

However, not many people paid attention to this matter. After all, Lu Rong, who has been the most popular recently, is already preparing for the company's new business.For a start-up company, it is normal for people to come and go; but for the boss Chen Qin, what he cares about is not such trivial matters...

The last few days of April were spent in exams and having fun.

Needless to say, the exams, the sports meeting after the midterm exam is the highlight. Compared with the crowded and boring Children's Day celebration, which is more of a performance for parents, and the New Year's Day party where the weather is a bit cold, the sports meeting is so interesting.

I came to school early in the morning with snacks. After the start, the principal and the athlete representatives had a talk, and then the competition began.

During the period, the playground was bustling with excitement. Although they could wander around on the playground, most of the children still gathered in class units, looking for the competitions that their classmates would appear in, and cheering beside them.

The same goes for the children in Class [-], Grade [-].

The boys in the same class just ran 400 meters and were out of breath. Although the ranking was not very good, a group of boys handed over Jianlibao at the end.

On the first day of Class [-], Grade [-], the study committee member Xu Lingfei was the one who stood out the most on the first day.

Xu Lingfei is usually a quiet little girl, and she is good at studies, but she is quite good at high jumps.

In fact, the children basically had no skills at all. At most, they came up to the competition after being taught a little safety knowledge. In the first few rounds, most of them were eliminated when they were less than half the height of a person. Soon, only Xu Lingfei from Class [-] was left on the field.

The physical education teacher whistled, and the children in the fourth class next to him and Teacher Xiao Meng jumped up happily. The students in other classes applauded, but they saw Xu Lingfei jogging down from the mat and hugging a boy in the same class...

When everyone saw this scene, their eyes almost didn't pop out.

However, she then hugged several other girls in the same class, and the logistics teacher Xiao Meng who had recently ceased to be the acting head teacher.

Although it seemed a little bit later... I didn't feel so intimate, and I don't know if it was an illusion.

But everyone didn't say anything that didn't suit the atmosphere. Besides, everyone knew that Xu Lingfei was good at studying. That boy...wasn't he the No. 1 Chen Qin in class [-] during the midterm exam?

If you study so well, of course you can't be doing something bad.

Soon, the school's loudspeaker read the announcement of the results of the competition—"The third grade group high jump competition, No.1, third grade class four, Xu Lingfei!"

Surrounded by the students, Xu Lingfei was patted on the shoulder and praised by the head teacher, and then went to the dean to register her grades.

When everyone's attention was drawn away by the next 100-meter sprint, Xu Lingling carried half a bottle of drink and found Chen Qin who had returned to the shade of the teaching building and was reading with a group of sixth graders.

"Hey, how was my dancing just now?"

She danced No.1, her tail almost went up to the sky, Chen Qin habitually wanted to pat her on the head, and noticed someone watching, so she just praised her verbally: "It's really amazing, next time I invite a circus to set up a ring of fire for you to dance."

"I don't dance."

Xu Lingling replied, but she could see that Chen Qin was absent-minded, she moved her head to read the book in his hand: "Chen Qin, what are you reading?"

It is the first time that Boss Chen is doing nothing but taking the initiative to read books.Chen Qin showed her the cover of the book, and Xu Lingling was curious: "Why is it a music book? It's from a senior grade."

It is indeed an elementary school music book. Although it is in the fifth grade, it is a bit too early for Chen Qin, but as a sub-subject, it is not complicated in itself. What Chen Qin read is the page introducing numbered musical notation.

"I'm going to write a song." Chen Qin said seriously, "Internet songs."

"Can you still write songs?"

"Although no, but the song is already in my mind, and now I just need to learn a notation and write the song."

Xu Lingling wrinkled her little nose: "Bragging, I haven't seen you learn this before!"

"Who lied to you, if you don't believe me, listen..."

Boss Chen is really not joking.

I gave her a few words on the spot, what is the blue sky waiting for the misty rain, what is crossing the mountains and the sea, what is the season of flowers blooming and falling, because the singing is so out of tune that Xu Lingling couldn't hear it at all, and she just laughed. Boss Chen became angry with embarrassment: "What are you laughing at, my singing is a bit ugly, but the song is fine."

Xu Lingling asked a key question: "Then how do you write the song? Can you just read the fifth grade textbook?"

"It's enough to write the basics. The modern record industry is so developed, as long as the melody is good enough and the lyrics are strong enough, it's fine to ask someone to arrange the music after writing it."

Xu Lingling nodded, seeming to accept the explanation, and then asked: "Then where are you going to sing? Do you want to sign up for this year's June [-]st party?"

"We'll talk about it later." Chen Qin said, "However, the commercial value of a song mainly depends on how many people are listening to it. In the traditional recording industry, this channel is mainly TV and radio, but now it is the Internet age. The main promotion method should also be determined on the Internet. In comparison, the efficiency of offline singing is too low."

Xu Lingling didn't understand: "Oh...so your song is going to be posted on the Internet?"

"Of course, you can post it wherever someone listens to it, and that's not important." Chen Qin leaned against the wall of the teaching building, looked at the clouds in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "The only thing that needs to be restricted is the realization channel. Since it is a commercial behavior, the first thing to consider is the realization of the problem..."

"All business activities must be realized at the right link. If the realization node is wrong, the market will reject this business model, so I only need to hold these key nodes in my own hands, and other links will be free."

"The monetization nodes of the traditional music industry are mainly concentrated in three places. The first is records, the second is offline concerts, and the linkage with other industries. Now is the Internet era. There is one more monetization node for music, and that is digital music sales."

"I can promote digital music online, and then realize it online, and concentrate all business activities online. This model is probably called online music..."

Chen Qin started talking endlessly. On the playground in Chunri, the sprint competition on the other side was still going on, and the cheering sound like the roar of mountains and tsunami came from the rush whistle.

"Want to drink?"

"Thank you."

Chen Qin spoke dryly, took Xu Lingling's half bottle of drink, poured it into his mouth, and gulped down a few gulps.After drinking, he became pensive, as if he forgot what he said, and muttered as if talking to himself——

"However... what Xiao Lu said is quite reasonable, the Internet is different after all."

Sometimes Chen Qin would suddenly start talking nonsense, but Xu Lingling was very used to it. Although she couldn't understand, she heard Chen Qin finish speaking, and the sports meeting was still going on.

After that, the two read a book for a while, and then sat together on the steps beside them to bask in the sun.

During the period, Xu Lingling went to receive the certificate and the little red flower. When she came back, Xu Lingling showed him the things, but Chen Qin was still indifferent. After a few words of compliments, she continued to look down at the book... But today, she didn't do anything else all day, but just kept looking at this thing.

Wait until around two o'clock in the afternoon, today's competition is over.

On the way home together after school, Chen Qin went to the bookstore to buy an introductory textbook on music theory. He had already bought a copy of the same book before the exam, but this time he didn’t seem to be just buying it for fun. Xu Lingling followed behind, looking really curious.

"Want to see it?"

Xu Lingling hesitated: "Well...but I don't understand."

"Here, you can play with this by yourself. Although it is only the first step, learning this is almost a third of the songwriting."
