v2 Chapter 108: Acquired Tiantian Music

   On October 1, an MP3 music sharing website www appeared on the Internet. mp3. com, users can listen to music for free on this site. If you download, you need to pay 10 music coins.

  Music currency is the original online currency of MP3 music sharing website. After logging in and signing in, users can get 2 music currency. If you upload music and pass the review, you can get 100 music currency. The music currency of MP3 music sharing websites is mainly used to pay for downloading music. If you have accumulated more music coins, you can also redeem them for physical records! !

   10,000 music coins can be exchanged for a record. In other words, as long as you successfully upload 100 pieces of music, you have to get a physical record! !

   However, the review mechanism of MP3 music sharing websites is very strict. If the quality of the uploaded music is not good or the website already exists, it will fail!

   MP3 music sharing website was released soon, and it gradually became popular on the Internet. Not only can users listen to music, there are also many users crazy to upload music, hoping to get a physical record. Especially the websites that made pirated music before, they have a lot of resources, and hundreds of music can be considered trivial. So, a week later, MP3 music sharing websites did not spend their energy to collect music, because other pirated websites uploaded their own music to MP3 music sharing websites, and they have received more than 10,000 songs in total!

   While MP3 music sharing sites only need to pay a hundred records, if the MP3 music sharing sites upload music by themselves, it will cost more. First, you have to buy the record back, then convert it to the format and upload it to the Internet. A record has about ten songs, and others have to upload a hundred songs to get a record. Calculating an account, MP3 music sharing sites can save 90% of the cost of recordings, and also save a lot of labor costs! !

  The key is that by redeeming music coins for physical records, you can start the website's name! !

   It’s no good for music lovers to upload music on other pirated websites, but there is an opportunity to redeem physical records on MP3 music sharing websites, so why doesn’t he upload music on MP3 music sharing websites?

   Within a few weeks, MP3 music sharing sites became popular and became the king of pirated music. The website traffic has also increased greatly, and the advertising price has soared!

  At this time, the major record companies began to clamor, saying they would sue MP3 music sharing sites.

The MP3 music sharing website said: “The MP3 music sharing website itself did not upload a piece of pirated music. It was uploaded by the user himself, and it’s none of our business!!” As the current Internet piracy legal system is not perfect, the MP3 music sharing website Take advantage of the loopholes, play a rogue, and the major record companies can't help it!

   If the MP3 music-sharing website uploads pirated music by itself, major record companies can still sue it with confidence, but it didn’t upload a piece of pirated music. How do you sue? It is the majority of netizens who upload pirated music. Go and sue them! !

what? Do you say that MP3 music sharing websites provide file upload functions? Haha, many websites on the Internet now provide file upload functions, are they all infringing?

  The major record companies are very helpless and can only hope that California law can formulate corresponding Internet piracy regulations as soon as possible!

   However, the formulation of laws and regulations is not that simple. It has to go through layers of discussion, analysis, and finally voting. Every one and a half years, the new piracy law must not be introduced!

   When the new piracy law is introduced, the day lily will be cold, and the record company will lose a lot!

   So, taking advantage of this time, Henry sent someone to the record company to discuss cooperation. Henry gave the condition that the record company authorizes Tiantian Music to own the copyright of the music network, one is a buyout, the other is a share. For a buyout, it is divided into five levels according to the popularity of the song, A, B, C, D, and E. Among them, A is the lowest, and the buyout price is 10 US dollars per song; E is the highest, 100,000 US dollars per song! If it is divided, it can only be based on the www of Tiantian Music Company. mp3. The download volume of each song on the com website is divided into 40% for the music company every day and 60% for the record company. www. mp3. The com website will open an exchange system for music currency and U.S. dollars, and one U.S. dollar will be exchanged for 100 music currency.

   Williams Bank will participate in the cooperation, open the online banking service, and support the exchange system! When Henry bought the bank, he was ready to open online banking services. However, neither the scale nor the timing are appropriate. This time www. mp3. The com website is ready to open the exchange of music currency and US dollars. Williams Bank is a small test, first mix some experience, and then you will be able to promote it on a large scale!

   The record company faced the conditions given by Henry, and some small companies had to agree to cooperate with Tiantian Music Company in order to survive.

   But powerful record companies are not so easy to agree.

   They only promised to buy out the old songs that are no longer available and worthless to Tiantian Music, but the new songs can’t, and they even ask for www. mp3. The more popular songs are removed from the com website! 10 music coins are only equivalent to 10 cents, and ten songs are only a dollar. Record companies can sell a record for dozens of dollars. Obviously, selling records is more profitable. Not to mention www. mp3. The com website still needs to draw 40% from it. How could the record company agree to cooperate with Tiantian Music Company?

   No rabbits, no eagles! Without the benefits of seeing is believing, record companies will obviously not easily agree to cooperate with Tiantian Music.

   Therefore, Henry can only find a way to let the record company see the real benefits!

   Then, at Henry’s instruction, ICQ’s CEO Tian Shuai announced: "ICQ has formally filed an application for the acquisition of Tiantian Music Company!!!"

Within a few days, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com ICQ CEO Tian Shuai held a press conference and announced: "ICQ has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Tiantian Music Company for US$5 million. Its www.mp3.com website is now available. Has been owned by ICQ company! In addition, ICQ company will launch the Tiantian music client, welcome to download and use!"

   Henry did not disclose his identity, so in the eyes of outsiders, Tiantian Music Company did not have a backstage before, although www. mp3. The development of com website is very fast, but it has to wait for www. mp3. When the com website develops to the point where the huge traffic can bring enough benefits to the record company, it will take at least one or two years, and during these two times, your record company will definitely lose a lot of money! ! Therefore, record companies are not willing to cooperate! Therefore, when the music company found the record company that day, they put on airs, pretended to be the boss, and deceived others. Well, Henry now finds a big backstage for it-ICQ company.

   Under the implementation of the one-stop plan, Internet cafes in the United States have proliferated, and the number of Americans who have access to the Internet has reached tens of millions! Today, ICQ registered users have exceeded 9 million, and almost one of those Internet veterans has one. There is such a hanging company, what the record company says, it has to be weighed!

  Imported huge traffic from ICQ company into www. mp3. com, there must be a lot of record companies will be excited! ! (The new week is here, please recommend and collect! There is also Sanjiang ticket!! The author Jun has built a book friend group: 424930141, welcome everyone to join...)
