The orchestral prelude sounded, setting the majestic tone for the song before Chen Qi started singing.

String music gradually came in, and in just a dozen seconds it created a dramatic scene. Then it immediately fell silent. Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi's ethereal and pleasant voice that went straight to the heart came.

"When the petals leave the flower

The fragrance remains

The fragrance disappears after the wind and rain

......"

The lyrics are concise, grand, a little sad, but more of a determination for love. Combined with Chen Qi's voice, it is easy to resonate with others.

Zhao Yueying read the lyrics and liked them very much, but when she heard the music for the first time, she was amazed again.

At the end of the song, Zhao Yueying's eyes were a little red. She always felt that this song had some kind of touching emotion, and the emotion became deeper and deeper as she sang.

After listening to this version, Zhou Hao was also quite moved. After carefully appreciating it, he said to Lu Xingye: "Old Lu, in my opinion, this version is the best. There is no need to revise it. This version is very real and feels very good."

Lu Xingye nodded: "I think so too, this is more real, what do you think, Miss Chen?"

Chen Qi smiled shyly, "I have no objection, this is great!"

Zhou Hao asked Zhao Yueying: "What do you think?"

Zhao Yueying smiled and said, "I don't understand it either, but this song is really great."

Zhou Hao said, "Ok, this is the version! Lao Lu, please help send this version to Sister Xiaoqi by email first."

Chen Lan kept clamoring to hear this song first, so Zhou Hao asked Lu Xingye to send the song to her as soon as possible.

After Lu Xingye sent the email and copied the source file onto a CD, Zhou Hao invited everyone to have a meal together. After the meal, he and Zhao Yueying took a taxi and sent Chen Qi home first before returning to school.

Before sending Zhao Yueying back to the dormitory, the two walked arm in arm on the campus for nearly half an hour, and like other couples, they hugged and kissed in an empty place.

Seeing that the dormitory door was about to close, Zhou Hao watched Zhao Yueying enter the dormitory building before turning around and walking towards his own dormitory. On the way, he received a long-distance call from Chen Lan who was far away in the United States.

The first sentence he said was: "Zhou Hao, you are really awesome!"

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Are you talking about "Hidden Fragrance"? "

"Yes!" Chen Lan said excitedly, "I cried when I heard it!"

Zhou Hao checked the time. "It should be around ten in the morning in New York. You should be at work now, right?"

"Yes." Chen Lan said, "I just finished the meeting and listened to it secretly. It's great! Thank you!"

Zhou Hao said: "If you really want to thank me, please help me register the company right away."

Chen Lan said, "Don't worry, my friend will help you get it done. The procedures are a little complicated, but it won't take too long. I asked him to hire a professional to help you. It will definitely be done in April."

Zhou Hao finally felt relieved. "Help me find a suitable part-time manager when the time comes. I'll be useful to you."

"No problem." Chen Lan agreed very readily: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get it done."

After registering the company in the United States, Zhou Hao wanted to buy the Facebook domain name. Facebook-related domain names such as thefacebook, thatfacebook, facebooks, etc. have been registered by Zhou Hao in China through HiChina. After acquiring the Facebook domain name, he will monopolize most of the domain names for this phrase. By then, that Harvard top student Mark Zuckerberg will definitely come to him. This is the pace of history, there is no doubt about it.

……

Chen Qi's "Hidden Fragrance" became a hit.

When Chen Qi's voice was played through the studio monitor speakers, everyone present was convinced that this song would become a hit.

Not surprisingly, as soon as this song was released on Wangwa.com, it quickly climbed to the top of the Wangwa Hot List, more than twice the number of the second place.

Netizens were full of praise for the song.

Someone said: "Chen Qi showed me a different side of her. Her voice is so great. Three songs, three different feelings, but she sang them all in her own way. It's amazing!"

Someone said: "There is probably only one girl in the country who is as beautiful as Chen Qi and has such a good voice! If she makes her official debut, she will definitely become the best female singer!"

Since the lyricist and composer of this song is still signed as Ji Hao, it has also been sought after by many netizens.

"Teacher Ji Hao is so amazing and mysterious. Although he has written only a few songs, every one of them is a classic!"

"Teacher Ji Hao has been in the industry for a short time. His songs Nan Shan Nan, Where Has the Time Gone, Fleeting Time, Our Love, and Hidden Fragrance are all great. This kind of high-quality songwriter is definitely top-notch!"

After the release of "An Xiang", not only did it receive overwhelming word of mouth, but the data was also very much in line with Zhou Hao's previous expectations.

The download volume has set a new record. The increase in download volume indicates that the number of terminals that can play MP3s is also growing. At present, the popular MP3 playback devices are either computers or MP3 players. Obviously, the latter are cheaper and more popular.

Zhou Hao checked online but couldn't find any recent sales figures for MP3 players. However, on Zhongguancun Online, the types of MP3 players had increased significantly.

At present, the prices of MP3 players from big brands such as Samsung, JNC and MSC are more expensive than Zhou Hao estimated. The cheaper ones are 32MB MP3 players, which cost around three or four hundred yuan, 64MB ones start at five hundred yuan, and 128MB ones cost almost one thousand yuan. If the MP3 player has an LCD screen that can display Chinese song information, the price will be even higher.

However, now brands such as Huaqi, Haier, Lenovo, Founder, and Newman have begun to launch related products, and a price drop of MP3s should be imminent.

Zhou Hao felt that he could start preparing a plan to stir up the MP3 player market. This would not only be the driving force behind the rise of Wangwa.com, but would also be the magic weapon for Taobao.com to achieve success, and would be crucial to his next plan.

With the rise of Wangwa.com, he could cash out his shares in batches in an orderly manner and exchange them for a large amount of cash. If Taobao.com could sell a large number of Wangwa MP3s right from the start, it would definitely attract the attention of countless manufacturers, distributors and even small merchants. This platform would quickly attract a large number of sellers. Only when there are many stores can users develop the habit of online shopping.

Therefore, the small MP3 player carries the rapid rise of the e-commerce empire planned by Zhou Hao, which is of great significance.

A careful analysis shows that if you want to gain a head start in the hardware market in this era, the two most important factors are nothing more than industrial design and price.

If you invest tens of millions and customize 100,000 units, the OEM cost should not be higher than that of other manufacturers, and you will sell them on Taobao in the future. In this way, you can save a lot of channel fees compared to current manufacturers. You must know that for manufacturers like Lenovo, the channel costs are very high in this era.

The domestic MP3 market is divided into three levels. The highest-end ones are almost all Korean brands, the mid-range ones are a few well-known domestic brands, and the low-end ones are some copycat OEM machines whose brands are hard to remember.

Zhou Hao has the strength to engage in price wars with opponents of these three levels, but if he wants to shake up the Korean brand, he must have strong industrial design.

Not all consumers only care about money, they also care about product appearance design and user experience.

Zhou Hao felt that it was necessary to find a product design company to first design the appearance and functions of the MP3 player he was going to make, and then find a reliable OEM factory. Production would not need to wait for Taobao to go online. He could start customization first and deliver the goods when Taobao goes online.

So Zhou Hao thought about the appearance requirements of the MP3 player himself.

According to his memories from his previous life, the first thing he thought of was the Moonlight Box series that had not yet been released. This is also considered a classic product of domestic MP3 players, but he still thinks it is a bit ugly.

I also thought of the more orthodox rectangular shape, which many brands have produced and it is difficult to make it distinctive.

Zhou Hao also thought of Sony's s700, whose classic dial controller was once popular.

But after thinking about it, Zhou Hao found that what he really liked was the iPod. However, the first generation of iPod has been released, so Zhou Hao prefers the appearance of the iPod nano.

However, Zhou Hao only had a rough idea in his mind, and a detailed plan still needed professional design.

Zhou Hao called Cao Tianlei and confirmed that he would leave in early April, which would mean he would arrive in China in mid-April. He has already started writing the backend architecture for Taobao, and he said it was going very smoothly.

So Zhou Hao decided to find his senior brother Liu Qiangdong to register the company first, and then let him build an operation team as soon as possible. As for the front-end and back-end of Taobao, they can be handed over to the R&D center for development, which is no problem.

Liu Qiangdong has been waiting for news from Zhou Hao since they agreed to start an e-commerce business together before the New Year. He sold all his stores after the New Year and now studies e-commerce at home every day.

Since transferring all the stores and leaving Zhongguancun, the relationship between Senior Brother Liu and his girlfriend has improved a lot. She witnessed the agreement between Zhou Hao and Liu Qiangdong with her own eyes. Zhou Hao's Haobo Technology is so powerful that even her family was shocked. When she learned that Liu Qiangdong wanted to cooperate with him, her family's attitude towards Liu Qiangdong made a 180-degree turn.

Gong Xiaojing's family said privately that if Liu Qiangdong really started a company with Zhou Hao, then Gong Xiaojing and Liu Qiangdong could prepare to get married.

Gong Xiaojing conveyed the family's intention to Senior Brother Liu, and during this time Senior Brother Liu had been waiting for Zhou Hao to call him.

The moment Zhou Hao's name appeared on his mobile phone screen, Liu Qiangdong excitedly grabbed the phone and quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Zhou Hao." Liu Qiangdong tried his best to keep his voice calm.

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Brother, what have you been busy with recently?"

Liu said: "I am not busy with anything. I have sold all my stores. I read books and learn e-commerce at home every day."

Zhou Hao laughed: "That's great, what you learned will come in handy soon!"
