Chapter 160 Haitang Cloud Music
December 1, 2002, noon, Unit 302, Building 8, Jianguo Community.
There were three well-dressed men and women sitting in the living room, with tea and coffee on the table.
Sun Tao was wearing a shirt and trousers, Teacher Li was wearing sportswear, and Manager Qin was wearing stockings and a short skirt, and oh, he was also wearing a shirt on his upper body. Hanging at the door are three people's down jackets, hats, scarves and gloves, Sun Tao's shoes, Qin Boya's boots, and Teacher Li's sneakers.
Li Xiaojun took a sip of tea and said, "Suspension of pay? You have to think clearly. In fact, I am enough at this stage. How come it will take several months before we are really on the right track."
Qin Boya also looked at Sun Tao doubtfully, "You just write songs anyway. It's not the same everywhere. Not to mention getting a salary for nothing. If you resign, what will happen to this house now? You can't resign and continue to occupy it." Come on, I think I’m thick-skinned enough, but I can’t do this kind of thing.”
Sun Tao smiled slightly, "The layout is bigger, how much is a house worth? I just went to the Cultural Bureau to apply for a leave of absence without pay. In fact, I also told Wen Jianjun about the song and dance troupe. Lao Wen is still very good. Regarding the layout, they hired me as a consultant, but they still let me live in this house for free
Actually, I don’t care about the rent. The main reason is that moving in cold weather is inconvenient. Next summer I will buy a large commercial apartment, and then I will have a big bedroom with a big bed in it..."
Qin Boya looked at him with a flushed face and chuckled.
Li Xiaojun was slightly angry, "I told you, that's enough for you two. Now let's get down to business?"
Sun Tao chuckled and returned to the topic, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. This time I had a very in-depth exchange with Feizhou Culture in Hangzhou."
Sun Tao pondered for a moment, "My feeling is that at this stage, there is no way out for a pure audio and video company, it is a dead end!"
……
This is not Sun Tao's feeling. He came into contact with Feizhou Culture. No, I shouldn't say contact. He was right when he said it was in-depth. He had in-depth exchanges with Feizhou's big boss N times. Feizhou Culture had no secrets from him at all.
Feizhou Culture has been losing money, and it can only be sustained because the big boss has a real estate dad. It is a culturally prosperous city in Hangzhou, and the general manager and salesmen are also senior people.
At that time, Sun Tao was alert. It seemed that he would not be able to open his own audio and video company!
Then he tried hard to recall, and finally he remembered a bunch of names.
In Sun Tao's impression, all audio and video companies that survived to the end basically participated in different music platforms, such as Taihe Music, Tencent Music, Alibaba Music, NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, Kuwo Music...
Memory is like a ball of thread. If you stretch one head, you can pull out a bunch of things.
When I think of Taihe Music, I think of Taihe Maitian, and then I think of Song Ke. The cooperation agreement between Sun Tao and Maitian Music still has his signature.
Sun Tao thought that Song Ke seemed to have been a judge on Supergirl, and also thought that he originally wanted to be a pure record company like Rolling Stone and PolyGram, but piracy was rampant in China, so in the end, this guy still focused on the music platform. .
Sun Tao doesn't think that he can be any better than Song Ke. Well, he even thinks that he is many times weaker than Song Ke.
You know how much you weigh, and you also know that there is no way to go, so you should be the first to plan and build a music platform. Once you become famous, you will definitely have the capital to buy yourself, and you will be able to sell yourself before the trend. Dozens of small goals are in place. of!
……
Sun Tao looked at the two ladies, "Feizhou Culture is opened in Hangzhou. Whether it is the purchasing power of the people or the market environment there, the creative environment is much better than that of Jichun, and their big boss is a real estate developer.
But the big boss told me that Feizhou Culture has been losing money the more it does, the more it loses. Nowadays, records cannot be sold at all. The market is full of pirated copies. A pure audio and video company is a trap! ”
Li Xiaojun looked confused, "Then, are you still determined to resign?"
Sun Tao leaned against the window with a cup of coffee. He turned to look at the snowflakes outside the window and said calmly: "When I opened an audio-visual company, I put new wine in old bottles. We don't release records at all. In the future, the company's main business will be on the music platform.
Last time I told you that buying the Rolling Stones' old songs was unrealistic, but I've been thinking about it these days. There are many small companies in this market that can't survive, and each of them probably owns the copyrights of a few songs. Now everyone has Don’t pay attention to..."
Sun Tao turned to look at Li Xiaojun. He thought Teacher Li would say again, "Don't they pay more attention to you as soon as you come to the door?"
Li Xiaojun said nothing, she was just looking at Sun Tao in a daze. It's probably nonsense that the tiger's body shook and everyone surrendered, but the arrogance and confidence that Sun Tao unconsciously revealed just now really made Teacher Li intoxicated.
Sun Tao coughed to remind her, and Sun Tao said in his heart, "You'd better listen. I've prepared a recipe. Please pay attention to my inner self and ignore my temperament for the time being."
Seeing Teacher Li slow down, Sun Tao continued: "Although we may be suspicious of the other party's initiative to acquire him, he is starving to death and has no other choice but to sell to us. What right does a person have to think about the future when he is in a desperate situation? It’s serious to realize it first and survive.
After all, not everyone has the foundation of the Rolling Stones. Let alone one hundred thousand, hundreds or thousands are not all money. There are few things that can stump a hero with just a penny. ”
Li Xiaojun nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense. There are several small audio and video companies like this in Jichun. I'll contact them later and give them a try."
Sun Tao hummed, "Just watch, as long as you show any intention of buying the copyright, a lot of people will come to you. It's a buyer's market now."
Li Xiaojun and Qin Boya were both shocked by Sun Tao's aura and remained silent.
Sun Tao, "Then I will set up a column specifically for the songs I wrote. Each song can have two or three versions. Let Li Qinglei and Wang Can sing it, otherwise they will be idle..."
< br>
Qin Boya suddenly raised his hand and interrupted Sun Tao, "They won't be idle. After all, they are the top 200 contestants in the Wu'an Talent Show. They will guest-star in the song and dance troupe, participate in some wedding performances, and corporate annual meetings. There is no problem. I am an agent. People don’t live for a living. I have many such social relationships..."
Qin Boya used to be a publicist and did have many "connections".
Sun Tao suddenly felt a little unhappy and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. There are more users on the music platform, and their voices are all in the streets. Then we will worry about no one taking the initiative to come to the door. You can just screen the customers."
Qin Boya looked at Sun Tao's angry expression and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll fight it anyway. If you fail, I won't complain even if I drink the northwest wind with you."
Li Xiaojun hesitated for a moment, "Actually, it's okay for us not to release records but to release singles to receive commercial performances. After all, there are only a few of us... But when you talk about building a music platform... I heard that all projects related to the Internet are It’s very expensive, you?”
Sun Tao waved his hand, "No, no, they are burning money to quickly seize market share. This market is still in the cultivation stage, so there is no need to rush, and I will not pursue making the website big at once. Customers are all slow." Slowly cultivated.
In fact, the reason why I urgently need to lay off my job without pay is because I can do the website myself and save money on hiring someone to do it. ”
Qin Boya looked at Sun Tao blankly, "I remember you have some international certificate..."
Sun Tao smiled slightly and pretended to be sophisticated. His CCNA was a network administrator and making web pages were two different things. To make web pages, he had only briefly learned FRONTPAGE at the school of water conservancy and hydropower, but he had learned ASP and DW during the half-year period when he was a network administrator.
Although Sun Tao is very confident, Li Xiaojun still has a worried look on her face. She is familiar with the routines of traditional cultural companies. Although she can't make much money according to Sun Tao's words, at least she won't lose a lot. When building a music platform... confidence alone is useless.
Sun Tao saw Li Xiaojun's concerns. He wanted to explain, but when he thought about it, words couldn't compare to actions. It was useless to talk more. She would naturally believe it when she saw the effect.
It is definitely risky for other people to build a music platform, but Sun Tao is different. He has two major reliances on building a music platform.
First, he knows the timing, such as ring tones in 2003 and paid music in 2005;
The second is that he has plug-ins. According to the speed of releasing a new song a day, he can do it for two months.
Of course, one song a day would be too perverted and it would probably lead to being sliced and studied, but a new song a week would be fine.
What does the Internet rely on? The eyeball economy relies on attention. As long as Sun Tao continues to produce a new song every week for half a year, there will be no one in the country who listens to music online who does not know about his music platform.
……
Li Xiaojun knew that he had no choice but to shoot the arrow, and there was no point in admonishing him. He changed the topic, "Have you decided on the name of the company and the name of the music platform?"
Sun Tao nodded, "The name of the company should still be the Qingzhou Culture you mentioned. It's good that the Qingzhou has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains; I'm going to call the music platform Haitang Cloud Music!"
Li Xiaojun and Qin Boya looked at each other. They could understand Haitang Music, why would they add a cloud?
