The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Yuan Fei held three beautifully packaged boxes and looked around as he entered the room. Lin Zhiyuan stood up and waved at him.

Yuan Fei walked over quickly and said, "Assistant Lin, this place is hard to find. It's full of small alleys, so we're late."

"Please sit down. Let me introduce you. This is Brother Li."

Although Li Zhikun was wearing an old man's shirt, Yuan Fei did not dare to underestimate him as long as he sat next to Lin Zhiyuan.

Yuan Fei respectfully called out "Brother Li" and then placed the three boxes in his hand on the table. "Assistant Lin, Music Garden 2.0 now has three colors: black, white and gray. Take a look."

Before Lin Zhiyuan could make a move, Li Zhikun opened a box first and said, "Is this the Music Garden? Let me hug it first."

The first thing Li Zhikun opened was the box of the gray prototype. A gray matte music garden lay quietly on the black velvet. It was still very beautiful and could arouse people's desire to buy it at a glance.

"Yes, this is it." Li Zhikun opened the other two boxes.

One is black and the other is white. Apart from the color, the 2.0 is slightly different from the 1.0. First, the LCD screen is larger, and the operation buttons below are also flush with the body, instead of being slightly higher like the 1.0.

However, it can still be seen that this is a series of products that are passed down from generation to generation.

Li Zhikun obviously preferred the black one, and wanted to try it out as soon as he took it in his hand. Yuan Fei helped him plug in the headphones, and Li Zhikun soon started listening with his head shaking.

The Music Garden that just left the factory came with three English songs installed, all of which were test songs for which the copyright had already been purchased.

While Li Zhikun was listening to the song, Yuan Fei asked Lin Zhiyuan, "Assistant Lin, what do you think?"

"It's pretty good. I think there's nothing wrong with it. If I have to find fault, it's that there's not much difference in styling between the 2.0 and 1.0."

Yuan Fei nodded. "Indeed, I think so too. However, there are only a few days left before the new phone launch at the end of the month. It will be too late to change it. This is the only way. Assistant Lin, I have a question..."

Encouraged by Lin Zhiyuan's eyes, Yuan Fei slowly spoke out.

Neither he nor Lin Zhiyuan noticed that since he took out the Music Garden, the singers at the other table, including Song Muke who knew Li Zhikun, had been looking over here frequently.

"Assistant Lin, I think there is not much room for further improvement in digital music players. Even though Music Garden is selling very well now, I am worried that one day the market will no longer recognize this product, or other manufacturers will launch similar products, resulting in increased competition and thinner profits."

"You have grown up again, Xiao Yuan. Now that you have a sense of crisis, you should take the initiative to seek change. Didn't I say that last time? We can continue to develop digital video players. In the next one or two years, the Music Garden product will not be obsolete. The profits it brings are enough to support your research and development. This is a change in hardware. You can also use your brains to make money in software."

"Making money from software?" Yuan Fei thought for a moment and understood what Lin Zhiyuan meant. "Assistant Lin, are you referring to our cooperation with Spotify? But, Assistant Lin, at that time we didn't realize that we had to pay to download music. We had already signed a one-year contract with Spotify..."

In the first half of this year, Music Garden Company signed a one-year contract with Spotify, the largest music website in the United States. At that time, Lin Zhiyuan was not in the United States, and Yuan Zhilong and Yuan Fei, father and son, did not think too much about it. They just wanted to promote Music Garden faster, so they recognized Spotify as the official download website recognized by Music Garden at a very low price.

Ever since the sales of Music Garden became a hit, Spotify has been making a fortune from download fees. By the time Yuan Fei and others came to their senses, it was too late. Now they can only wait until the one-year contract expires before thinking of other ways.

"We will build our own music website in a year. Believe me, Xiao Yuan, the income from music downloads may exceed that from selling the machines in the future. Also..." Lin Zhiyuan pointed at Li Zhikun, who was listening intently with headphones on, "It's time to consider bringing Music Garden back to China. Although the price of Music Garden is relatively high and most people in China can't afford it, after all, there is a large population base and many wealthy people. I believe it will not be a bad idea to open exclusive stores in several major cities in China. In addition, we will build a music website in China and start a paid download business..."

"Assistant Lin, I agree with everything you said, but I'm afraid it's not possible to build a music website in China? Chinese people don't have much awareness of copyright. You ask them to pay to download music like foreigners do..." Yuan Fei shook his head repeatedly, "Look at the people who use computers nowadays. How many of them use genuine software? All of them use pirated software."

"That's because the price of legitimate software is too high. If you set the price of downloading a song at 20 cents, a little bit will add up to a lot. I believe that with the population of our country, it will eventually become an astronomical figure. In addition, you can also set up monthly memberships and annual memberships. For example, monthly memberships are 5 yuan per month, and annual memberships are 50 yuan per year. You can download unlimited times, and then negotiate with those record companies and split the profits in proportion. I believe that it will be a win-win situation in the end..."

Lin Zhiyuan hadn't finished his words when he suddenly felt a few more people behind him. Turning around, he saw Song Muke, who had just greeted Li Zhikun, and another man looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"What do you want to say?" Lin Zhiyuan only said one sentence, and Song Muke excitedly stretched out his hands, "Hello, sir. My last name is Song. I'm a musician with a small record company. This is my friend, surnamed Xu, also in the same industry. I'm really sorry, I overheard your conversation just now, and I couldn't help but come over to disturb you."

At this time, Li Zhikun also noticed that Song Muke was here again. He took off his headphones, frowned and asked, "Why are you back again?"

"Brother Li, I want to talk to this gentleman for a few words." Song Muke's emotions were a little out of control, and he spoke very quickly, "My friend and I are both in the music business. If what you just said is true, I guarantee that all the record company owners in Shenzhou will line up to thank you."

Mr. Xu behind Song Muke stared at the music gardens on the table, like a hungry wolf staring at a piece of plump meat, his mouth watering, "I have heard that the music garden was made by people from Shenzhou, and today I know it is true."

Mr. Xu took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Zhiyuan solemnly. "Sir, my last name is Xu Feng. I currently work at Warner Records. If your music website is established, we at Warner Records would like to be the first to cooperate with you."
