The whole world's audiences are watching the Daqian closely. They want to know how the Daqian will deal with this lawsuit. Other than a press conference, the Daqian did not do anything else.
But no one expected that a few days later, before the lawsuit started, Sony, Worldwide … four of the five major record companies announced that they will give up on the lawsuit. They will also give up all demands for compensation from Da Qian.
When this news was released, everyone was shocked. Everyone was waiting for the showdown, and the Daqian did not do anything. Why did the plaintiffs withdraw? Sony and the other 4 major record companies withdraw from the lawsuit. This means one-third of the plaintiff's power is gone.
The smart people knew the Daqian did not do nothing. They had persuaded the other 4 record companies to withdraw from the lawsuit.
As for how the Daqian persuaded the other record companies, it was a hot topic. Many years later, many people involved in the lawsuit opened their mouths, and the public knew what happened.
The Daqian had told Sony the reason why the other 3 record companies did not produce electronic products. That's why Sony's persuasion did not work.
But Boss Jia told the record companies that even if the Daqian is gone, the MP3 industry will rise. This is the trend, and no one can stop it.
But at that time, the MP3 companies will not have any manufacturers. The record companies will not be able to find anyone to protect their rights.
Most importantly, once pirated MP3 and music files take over the entire market, the market will be filled with pirated products. The record companies will not have any copyright rights.
That's why in the future of MP3, the correct way to deal with this is not to block the market. It's to spread the market. Everyone must work together to set up a channel to link the original music and MP3.
Only all the MP3 companies will encourage their customers to use the original music and at the same time, restrict the pirated music. Most importantly, they must set up a channel to sell the original music.
During the discussion, Boss Jia described a bright and sci-fi future to the record companies.
Because MP3 music didn't need any physical carrier, it could be downloaded on the Internet at will. It seemed to be an important reason for the rampant piracy, but on the other hand, it also reduced the cost of customers buying authentic music.
In the past, if users wanted to buy authentic music cassettes, they had to go to those authentic music stores. They had to walk a lot, which could dispel many people's desire to buy.
However, if they could download the original music with just a click on the computer, and they could hear it in the MP3 player a few minutes later without even leaving the house, then customers would be particularly prone to impulse spending.
Maybe they would buy a lot of music in one go. In order to realize all this, they must have a large-scale music sales platform built on the Internet. The Daqian is building this platform, and it will be available to all music companies in the future.
Boss Jia's online music platform is the final trump card. Especially since Boss Jia said that their next move is to use technical means to build the music platform's client program in all future MP3 players.
In the future, once customers connect the MP3 player to the computer, they will automatically enter the music platform to buy the original music. This will eliminate the problem of piracy from the source.
After hearing Boss Jia's words, the other three major music companies instantly fell silent.
If the Daqian company controls the production of MP3 and the MP3 online music platform, then all the original music will enter the market through the Daqian company.
Although they could also build their own music platforms, from the development history of Microsoft, Google Search, and other online platforms, a large-scale monopoly platform would cut off the vitality of other small platforms. It would be very difficult for them to become big and strong.
In other words, if the three major music companies want to sell original music products in the future, they can only rely on the Daqian company. This is handing the future of the music industry to the Daqian company. The three major music companies must consider if the Daqian company will retaliate in the future.
Furthermore, the Daqian company suggested that if the three major music companies withdraw from the lawsuit, they will get an additional 20% cut from the original 50% cut to 30%. The three major music companies agreed to Boss Jia's withdrawal of the lawsuit.
After hearing the news, the Recording Industry Association of the United States was so angry that they cursed and cursed. Then, they immediately contacted a cautious large record company, Rolling Stone Records, and asked them to stand firm and not stand on the evil side.
Rolling Stone Records expressed that they will stand on the side of justice because they had rejected the Daqian company's demands.
Since the Daqian company had approached four of the five major music companies, they will not miss out on Rolling Stone Records. But Boss Jia did not meet them personally. Instead, he sent one of his higher-ups to meet them.
In fact, other than Sony, the other three major music companies' higher-ups also went to meet them. Boss Jia does not have the time to travel all over the world!
In the end, this higher-up did not even get to meet Rolling Stone Records' higher-ups. He stayed in Rolling Stone Records' lounge for three days and returned helplessly.
Rolling Stone Records did not even give them a chance to negotiate. This also shows the determination of Rolling Stone Records.
After that, a reporter interviewed the CEO of Rolling Stone Records. The CEO valiantly stated that they are the noble people of Taiwan and will not bow down to China.
His speech won him a lot of praises in Taiwan.
But it was meaningless. Five days later, other than the five major music companies, 23 small music companies withdrew from the plaintiff group and will not sue the Daqian company. At the same time, they all felt that Daqian and MP3 were the future of the music industry. They hoped that the United States' Industrial Recording Association and Rolling Stone Records would not go against the times and give up on this lawsuit.
This huge change once again stunned all the onlookers. The defection of the four major record companies was already very incredible. This time, the joint withdrawal of 23 small music companies was even more ridiculous.
Although these 23 companies combined might not be as good as Sony Music, but to persuade 23 different companies within a week was very difficult. Could it be that the people working in the Daqian's Public Relations Department were all gods?
This shocking news left many people speechless for a long time. Until the next Sunday, Daqian Entertainment announced that they will separate all the Daqian company from Yu Yuezhong's music businesses. They will merge with the 23 music companies acquired from all over the world to form Daqian Music. This will be another important company for the Daqian company.
This will complete the Daqian company's strategy in the music industry.
At this time, everyone finally understood how the Daqian company managed to persuade all 23 companies. The method was simple. Just buy them all!
