I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Do you not need to consider anything other than the top twenty?

Pei Qinhu looked at the homework he had worked so hard to do, and felt that he was still too stupid.

Almost all of the music lovers he was looking for were ten or even twenty.

Let me tell you this, after the start of the copyright war, the pattern of the online music service industry has become more and more obvious. Among them are the Penguin-based circle music, the ocean-based Kugou and Kuwo, and the Ahri-based shrimp prices every day, thousands of degrees. In addition to Qiandu Music and Qianqian, you can see which ones are in the top ten.

Pei Qianlong sighed, and directly helped him with the elimination method.

Don't even think about the land circled by the bosses, they won't sell it even if they lose money.

All are industrial layouts.

The so-called copyright war started the year before last. At the very beginning, there was a voice in the music market that some of the songs on Kugou Music were pirated boards.

Needless to say who did it, they are the only ones who can shout like a thief.

Penguin began to invest a lot of attention in Quanquan Music early on. Quanquan Music began to update it quickly and became the first software in China to purchase music copyrights of foreign singers. Using this as a gimmick, it began to sell copyright awareness to users and build its A good image in the minds of users.

Pirated boards have a bad reputation, but Kugou Music is very popular in the market. For users, it is meaningless to trace the source of songs on music software. Users care about whether they can find the songs they need.

This is a big problem. If you buy the copyright but cannot restrict other music software to continue to provide the same songs, isn't it doing a useless job?

So the Universe No. 1 legal team began to play a role. After a while, some songs on Kugou Music turned gray. Although the search results could be found, it was displayed that they could not be played because there was no copyright.

The word copyright has finally made users realize that the digital music market is quietly changing. In the past two years, major music software has launched a battle for music libraries.

Penguin series, Ahri series, Qiandu series, plus a struggling ocean series.

Big... rice?

Pei Qinhu was stunned.

In 2010, the domestic mobile Internet was still in its infancy, the Internet industry had not formed a pattern, and giant companies had not yet appeared. Every entrepreneur was actively striving, and Rice Music was one of them.

Rice Music was first launched as a client for the Symbian system, which is also one of the most acclaimed applications of Rice Music.

At that time, the two most famous music applications in the Symbian system were Tiantian and Rice.

Later, rice music launched an Android client, and the user base expanded rapidly.

At its peak, it ranked first among all audio software, claiming to have 400 million users.

However, this cannot conceal the truth of its losses.

The annual revenue of Rice Music is 32.4337 million yuan, and the net profit is -43.9995 million yuan, which is in a state of loss that Boss Lin envies.

How much will it cost? When Pei Qinhu spoke, his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

He never made rice music a target.

In fact, the ones I chose are all third- and fourth-tier Xiaoaipipis. If it doesn’t work, I can buy another one, and it can be done for a few million.

His cousin told him to be more daring, but he never thought of choosing rice music.

Last year, Ali bought Tiantian and spent 40 million U.S. dollars.

Today's rice may not be as good as last year's Tiantian, which hadn't started to decline, but it would cost close to 300 million when it was actually acquired. After all, there are rice music users.

You sort out the information on rice, estimate a price, and send it to Mr. Lin to look at. The audio website is solved, let's watch the video website, what do you want to say.

Music station!

Hey, not bad, how dare you choose the biggest one.

I……

You Two Uncle!

Can't you hear me when I'm angry?

Aside from those film and television websites, there are not many music MV websites. After Sweet Potato was acquired by Oil Barrel, Music Station is basically the only one.

This MV website was established in 2009. The founder, Zhang Yan, was born in the Ari family. He is a veteran figure. His daughter is a fan of SJ. She often complains to him that the quality of MVs downloaded in China is often blurry, and the star chasing experience is not good. .

When Zhang Yan heard it, he was inspired.

Resigned and founded such a music website that mainly focuses on uploading and playing MV videos.

At that time, Bangbang was gradually sweeping China. The three major entertainment companies of Bangbang, S\u0026M, JYP, and YG, were fully launching second-generation groups represented by TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, and bigbang, actively exploring overseas markets.

As a fresh form combining music and video, MV has sniped the demand of a large number of fans for star chasing.

With the help of the good wind, the music station quickly became a gathering place for music fans. Fans can watch idol's concert videos or share fan-made MVs on it.

And mainland fans began to come into contact with the awesome fan support culture.

This includes browsing music sources and buying albums to make their idols stand out in the fierce charting period.

In 2011, Music Station launched the V chart and became a partner of Billboard in the United States. Then the album version was released, and the sales volume of the album was included in the corresponding cooperation list of Billbord, which completely activated the fighting enthusiasm of domestic fans.

That year, Music Station became the No. 1 MV music website in China with 40 million monthly and 4 million daily traffic.

Last year, they also held the first V-list annual grand ceremony, and Super Junior won the title of Bangbang's Most Popular Singer in one fell swoop. Rising star EXO's subunit EXO-M won the Best Newcomer Team in Mainland China.

The scenery is the same for a while.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.

One is that Music Station spends tens of millions every year to purchase overseas music MV copyrights.

Originally, the profit model was relatively fragile. After finally tossing out a shopping mall, it was repeatedly crushed by the newly emerging Haitao.

It can only be supported by recharging to make the list.

Then there is the second one, which is to recharge and hit the list.

In the battle for the V-list in March this year, EXO had always been far ahead in the monthly list, but in the last few minutes of the voting deadline at the end of the month, EXO was suddenly overtaken by hundreds of thousands of votes by the mainland girl group Fighting Girls ATF.

This result caused strong dissatisfaction among EXO fans, who all accused the music station of operating in the dark.

So far, the credibility and word-of-mouth image of the music station have plummeted, and the fans on the platform have lost a lot.

Misfortunes never come singly, this year can be described as the worst year for the music station.

In addition to being questioned about the black-box operation of the list, which caused a large-scale loss of fans, in April, it was revealed on the Internet that the music station owed Qianyin more than 10 million album sales for half a year.

In the case of Ganyin Entertainment and the music station's private negotiations with no results, Qianyin officially issued a statement in May this year, which revealed the financial crisis of the music station.

If you think that's all there is to it, you'd be really naive.

Under the desperation, the music station's funds are in trouble, and the salary of employees is often delayed for a few days, causing dissatisfaction among employees, and complaints and accusations on the Internet.

It is reported that Zhang Jiao was admitted to the hospital many times in the middle of the year.

Life is really too difficult.

What?

difficult?

If you don't have a little more difficulty, you don't even know what despair is.

Although the music station spends 20 million yuan a year to purchase MV copyrights, it is a considerable cost pressure for the music station.

But even so, the situation of pirated MVs on the music station website is still repeatedly banned, which has also attracted the attention of Penguin.

In July, Penguin sued Music Station for copyright infringement, involving a total of 452 Emperor MVs with Penguin's exclusive copyright, and claimed a total of 13.71 million yuan.

People are hard to tear down.

This is not a penguin, this is a crocodile.

Can you still have fun.

All of a sudden, the music station encountered an unprecedented crisis.

The founder, Zhang Yan, began to set his sights on the capital market, hoping that his father Ari would lend a helping hand.

However, Ali's father rejected him.

Because of their small and beautiful development model, it is doomed to be difficult to expand.

The MV site is dead.

Ai Dasong has now taken charge of Ahri Music, and started to make something called Ari Planet. There is no room for an MV website.

Pei Qianlong's dry mouth made Pei Qinhu understand how he should start working as the director of his music business department.

In October, Lin Dong settled Du Qixi's movie, announcing that he and Du Qixi would never return to the initial state of knowing each other and loving each other.

【Settlement in progress...】

[Project name movie Poor Way, the production cost is 55 million, and the total box office is 820 million. According to the investment ratio, you will recover the investment cost and make a profit of 210 million yuan. It's a pity...]

[Since the consumption is not the initial capital of the system, the settlement fee galleon will not be granted]

[After settlement, since the funds in the system account are not zero, a new round of starting funds will not be issued, and the current fund balance of your system account is 868 million yuan (excluding other funds in the company account)]

That night, Lin Dong slept at night.

Dreaming that he finally lost enough money, saved enough Galleons, flew up, and was about to return to his wizarding world.

It was flying well at first, but it was about to fly to the sky, but it suddenly fell down.

Looking down, Du Qixi and Zhang Sanpang hugged one of his legs, crying and shouting, Dongzi, don't leave, we can't bear you.

Lin Dong was immediately woken up by fright.

The more Master Aoluo thought about it, the sadder she became. She cried all night, and her pillow was wet with saliva.
