Back To 1995

   "Paul Vidic wants to see me?"

During dinner, Hoblow, Ken Williams and others stayed on Song Yang's side. Gallo served as the barbecue chef. I won't say whether it tastes good or not. Gallo's worth is now a billionaire. Asking a billionaire to serve the barbecue in person, does the taste still matter to Hoblow and Williams?

   Hearing Hobloh mention that Paul Vidic wanted to see him, Song Yang showed a very interested look.

Paul Vidic's identity is not low, the head of one of the five major record groups, but... that's all, if it is Song Yang who just debuted, or he is now looking for the five major record groups. Kalanick, then Paul Vidic is a big shot.

   But now, Time Warner pulls it out, and the person who can match Song Yang is estimated to be Paul Vidic's immediate boss, the head of Time Warner Group, Jerry Levine.

For the five major record groups, knowing that Scour and Dimeng MP3 players are secretly supported by Alcatel mobile phones and Saipan music stores, Song Yang is not surprised at all. When they arrived, Song Yang had to wonder if they were secretly holding back some bad water.

   "Tell Vidic I'll go see him!"

Song Yang didn't plan to delay any longer. The prelude had already been played, and he was just about to hit the door. If he played it again, there would be no "surprise". Wait, that's what Alcatel phones and Symbian Music Store support, what can they do to Symbian Music Store?

   Now, it is obvious that the situation in the record industry is about to erode, and MP3 digital music is about to be flooded. Warners and the other record giants can cooperate. Who else but Saipan Music Store? !

   It is not impossible for those record giants to expect Apple to launch iTunes or Spotify, or Yahoo and AOL to enter the music industry and compete with Saipan Music Store, but it will take time.

If the five major records do not sign the alliance under the city and open the copyright library to the Saipan music store, then Song Yang does not mind completely smashing the record industry, as long as he supports several websites such as Scour, Napster, and America Music Network to continue to do things and publish It took a year and a half to help them file a lawsuit with a huge amount of US knives, and the entire record industry is about to be smashed!

Anyway, Song Yang doesn't feel bad. He doesn't have much investment in the record industry. He mainly sells mobile phones and MP3s. The record industry has been smashed, and he doesn't delay selling mobile phones and MP3s. Maybe because of copyright confusion, the phone sells even better. many…

  Think about it, compared to the electronic product industry, which is worth 20 billion dollars a year, which is more valuable?

  Song Yang took a bite of the beef, and I have to say that Gallo's roasting skills are getting better and better.

   Looking at Hoblow, Song Yang said, "Tomorrow, let Ertian and William Schedler both attend the meeting with Warner Records!"

  Huobuluo, who was nibbling on the meat, almost choked when he heard this, and hurriedly took a few sips of wine, he knew that Song Yang was going to showdown with the record group.

Paul Vidic stood in the administrative office building of the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park, and he could see a huge construction site in the distance, where countless construction vehicles gathered, surrounded by flags of construction companies, Paul Vidic Chi knew that was the new headquarters for Alcatel Mobile.

The design of the new headquarters of Alcatel Mobile is a global tender, and the design fee alone costs more than tens of millions of dollars. America's architecture magazine, crazy touts the new headquarters of Alcatel Mobile, once it is completed, it will lead the way. A generation of office function trends…

Paul Vidic doesn't know how good    is, but he has seen it from many media, touting that the new headquarters of Alcatel Mobile will be one of the new landmarks in California.

   Hearing the footsteps, Paul Vidic turned his head and looked at the person who entered the conference room. His eyes met, Paul Vidic and the person who came. The atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.

Facing the "enemy", William Schedler, who is not thick-skinned enough, can't help but feel a little embarrassed. It seems that the music downloaded by Dimeng MP3 users is not genuine music. corner of the wall.

   "President William, I heard... the sales of the Diamond Rio 300 are very good?" Paul Vidic was the first to speak.

  William Schedler nodded noncommittally, before waiting for Vidic to attack, he preempted and stood on the moral high ground, "Dimeng hopes to allow users to enjoy the convenience brought by new products in the electronics industry!

  Listen, Vidic, I know you have a problem with Diameng, but consumers don't want to be regarded as criminals, and artists don't want their work to be plagiarized. This is not the original intention of Diameng MP3 design.

   However, now users do not have a channel to download genuine MP3 music, and the copyright library songs of Saipan Music Store are too small! "

  The more you say it, the more you talk about it. This is an interview draft prepared by the PR team for William Schedler when interviewing the media, and now it is directly used.

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring William Sheidler, Paul Vidic's face is a little dark. Co-authored, the current situation has nothing to do with the "culprit" of Dimeng. Copyright library, open to Saipan Music Store?

   Paul Vidic, who was about to fight back, twitched his face, when he saw that the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a large group of people filed in, causing him to hold back his words again.

Song Yang, who entered the conference room, saw Paul Vidic with a dark complexion, and then looked at William Schedler, who was smug. He didn't know what the two of them were talking about. William Schedler was an engineer. Man, he was able to **** off Vidic.

   "Say hello to President Jerry Levine for me, he seems to be busy lately, I heard!"

  Song Yang said with a pun, and Vidic's heart tensed when he heard it. He didn't know if Song Yang knew something, but he always felt that Song Yang seemed to be referring to the merger of AOL and Time Warner.

   "President Jerry, I have been looking forward to meeting Director Bruno!"

   In the face of Song Yang, Vidic can't put together the score of the five major record groups, not only him, but also Morris of Universal and Motula of Sony Music.

Paul Vidic sighed inwardly as he looked at the crowd of Hoblow, Ertian, William Schedler and others in the conference room, if Kalanick sat here again at this time, he would not There is the slightest strangeness.

   The "black hand" who caused the dilemma of the record industry is right in front of him, but Paul Vidic can't get angry, not even his temper!

Taking a deep breath, Vidic said, "I know that many users, including some people here, have more or less opinions on the record group, but believe me, the record industry needs order, and the record group It is the existence of maintaining order, singers, record companies, fans, and record groups need to balance it all!"

   "If the record industry loses the record group, it won't take two years for the entire global record industry to collapse."

Song Yang, Huobuluo and others did not deny this. Even if the five major record companies collapsed, there would still be new giants to replace them. Fans and singers may have scolded the record group for being black-hearted and vampires. did.

   But the existence of the five major record groups is indeed maintaining the order of the record industry, mining singers, cultivating singers, releasing records, supporting singers and creative teams, and enabling the entire record industry to operate.

   "But now is the time to change, and the record industry is no exception. The arrival of digital music is inevitable, and no one can stop it!" Song Yang also said.

  Paul Vidic did not object to Song Yang's words, but nodded, "This is also the purpose of my visit today, Warner Records can try to cooperate with Saipan Music Store!"

   "The Saipan Music Store has been looking forward to this day too!" Hearing Vidic's initiative, Hoblow couldn't help but be a little excited.

Paul Vidic stretched out his hand, indicating that the cooperation he said was subject to "conditions", "Director Bruno, the reason why I invite you to participate today is that I hope that no matter what the relationship between Dimeng MP3 and Alcatel mobile phones is, or other MP3 manufacturers authorized by Alcatel mobile phones or Diameng must download genuine music in the future, I need to guarantee this!"

No matter what the technical difficulty is, Vidic needs Alcatel mobile phones and Diameng to give him a promise, whether it is the products they sell, or the MP3 players that are authorized to produce, the user must buy from the Saipan music store or other Channels, download genuine music, the record industry can't afford to lose more paying users.

Song Yang, Ertien, and Huoblo looked at each other, and Huobuluo finally nodded. This is to learn the "Apple Authentication" set. As long as the electronic equipment equipped with the Symbian system has to go through The certification of the Saipan system can download games, music, videos, games, etc. This system is a bit unfriendly to users, but it does work.

"No problem, the Saipan Music Store will launch an anti-theft system. For each song that enters the Saipan Music Store's copyright library, the sequence and encoding will be set individually to ensure that it will not be redistributed and can be traced!" Hobb Luo said.

  Paul Vidic doesn't understand those technologies. What he needs is a promise that can be explained to the Time Warner board of directors. As for the rest, whether it really works, he doesn't have the mind to care now.

   "Warner Records' song in Saipan Music Store, asking to be sold by album!"

   "We demand 70% of the song sales!"

   "Every electronic device that sells MP3 songs should give Warner Records a dollar!"

"impossible!"

In the face of Paul Vidic's conditions, it was the Fortress Music Store, which paid Warner Records several hundred million dollars in copyright fees at one time, and asked to sell a machine, and Warner's money was divided, and the entire conference room was in a hurry. Noisy.
