However, Yang Yi's proposal was not fully approved by Fu Jun. He frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Record sales are not as simple as you think, Yang Yi. Basically, the major record companies control the distribution channels. If we want to sell records, we can't bypass their restrictions."
"We're not going to do distribution. We're going to do the same business as bookstores and video stores. We won't produce books or records, but we'll be sales agents." Yang Yi explained, "It's just like the books sold in online stores are not all books from Sahara Publishing House."
"I understand!" Fu Jun patted his head, secretly thinking that he was thinking too much.
However, Fu Jun didn't think too much about it. Yang Yi's next words revealed the true purpose of his proposal. "However, this is only for now. We can cooperate with these record distribution companies in the early stages, but we have to steal from them and get the rules and corresponding resources for record distribution. When the time is right, we can also establish our own distribution channels!"
"Your own distribution channel?" Fu Jun asked in surprise. His heart started to beat faster.
"Yes!" Yang Yi's tone was still calm at the moment, and he seemed to be unperturbed on the phone. "We'll take another path and do an Internet-style distribution channel. Moreover, our main target is not the large entertainment companies. We won't fight with the current record companies for this cake. We'll be the distribution channel for independent musicians that they look down on, so that everyone who likes music can release their records."
Fu Jun sucked in a breath of air. He could see Yang Yi's deeply hidden ambition in this!
Of course, Fu Jun was still not sure whether independent musicians' records would be welcomed by the market. The benefits of this distribution channel were difficult to estimate, but Fu Jun was persuaded by Yang Yi.
This was a very interesting goal!
"Not only records, but also movies, videos, and books. We can do an Internet-style distribution channel, giving individual creators or small companies with no background a platform to show themselves." Yang Yi smiled slightly. "It's just like what Qi Yue did with the web novel. Believe me, the creative ability of billions of people will make Sahara Publishing House take off completely!"
Although Yang Yi's words were not passionate at all, Fu Jun himself was surging with excitement!
"Good, good! I'll call someone for a meeting in a while! "Fu Jun said excitedly.
Of course, there was no need for Yang Yi to come up with the actual plan for Fu Jun. Fu Jun was not an idiot boss, so he would naturally organize his planning team to study it. He would also wisely hide the grand plan that Yang Yi mentioned. Now, all he needed to do was to establish a good relationship with the record company and get them to sell the internet to Sahara Online Mall.
"Don't worry, I have a gadget here that I recommend you and your employees to try. It's quite fun!" Yang Yi smiled. "It's called Microbroadcasting. It's something that my people have recently developed."
…
Although Yang Yi had high hopes for Microbroadcasting, its development was still relatively slow after it was developed. It could not even catch up with the promotion of another product of the same project.
Facebook had already become popular in the campus of Jiang City Media University.
The path it took seemed to be similar to Facebook in that time and space. After all, it was a plan provided by Yang Yi. However, it was slightly different under Mao Peifu's adjustment.
There was no use of hacking techniques to steal the registration photos of female students that might cause disgust. Mao Peifu made use of her connections and Yang Yi's financial support to organize a campus belle election in the School of Business Media.
Mao Peifu had asked for the consent of all the beautiful students in the School of Business Media who were on the list. They had signed contracts and paid remuneration. Of course, they had also provided the most beautiful photos that they had taken. It was definitely not comparable to those ID photos!
Although he wasn't part of the staff, Guo Ziyi had volunteered to be part of the publicity staff after he learned about Senior Sister Mao Peifu's plan from Ding Xiang. He loved being evaluated as the most beautiful girl in the academy!
With Guo Ziyi jumping up and down waving the flag and shouting, coupled with the campus belle election, a large number of registered users flooded into Facebook. Most of them were boys, but there were also many girls who came to watch the fun. Moreover, it was not only the students of the School of Business Media. Students from other faculties also joined in excitedly.
They soon discovered the benefits of Facebook. Those beautiful students were real. By clicking on their photos, they could enter their homepage. They could see the photos that they posted in their albums and read their diaries to understand what kind of people they were!
There was a guy who was as "shameless" as Guo Ziyi on his homepage. "I successfully added them. I think I'm in love!"
The first selection came to an end quickly. Everyone had different preferences and the results of the selection would naturally be controversial. This controversy was good because it would continue to bring popularity to Facebook.
Of course, after participating in the campus belle election, the boys couldn't sit still. They all expressed that they would hold a campus belle election for their faculties too.
More voices said, "There are no real beauties in the School of Business Media. The real beauties are in the Film School. If there's a selection, how can we leave out the beauties from the Film School?"
The voices for the beauties from the Film School to join in were getting louder and louder. Mao Peifu and her team naturally wouldn't disappoint everyone. This time, if they were going to do it, they would do it big!
Rivertown Media University Goddess Selection!
Obviously, Mao Peifu couldn't use her connections and monetary rewards to get the beauties from the School of Business Media to join in. Rivertown Media University was too big. There were too many girls and beauties. If they were to talk to them one by one, Mao Peifu and her team wouldn't be able to do it even if they were exhausted.
However, Mao Peifu was after all the Vice President of the Student Union. Although she had resigned, she had rich experience in student activities and had strong connections.
Soon, Mao Peifu pulled the strings and got Facebook to sponsor a big event with the Student Union of Rivertown Media University.
Of course, it wasn't the tacky campus belle election. Instead, it was a makeover and a goddess selection that competed on talent and looks.
It was divided into two rounds. First, there would be an online voting on Facebook to choose 20 beauties. Then, there would be a large-scale live Rivertown Media University Goddess Selection Gala in the stadium of 10,000 people. They would be allowed to showcase their talents on the spot. The judges would give marks and online voting (mobile phones could be used to vote through Facebook). In the end, the first, second and third place would be selected!
Of course, Mao Peifu had also provided a huge budget for this event. In addition to the prize pool of 100,000 yuan for the first, second and third place, there were also some lucky draw activities in the first round of the selection to stimulate the voting. A professional team was hired to plan, decorate, and direct the gala. Lastly, there was also a huge sponsorship for the Student Union of Rivertown Media University. Mao Peifu had used no less than 500,000 yuan for this event!
Although this event was still in progress, the generous rewards and the honor of being a beautiful and intelligent goddess had already stimulated many girls to sign up. Their participation had also greatly stimulated more boys to register as Facebook users.
It wasn't just Rivertown Media University. Boys from other universities in Tingshan District and even other universities who had heard the news on the Internet had also come. The number of registered Facebook users was increasing rapidly every day.
Although they were only here to look at the beauties, they would eventually discover the difference between Facebook and other blogging websites.
This wasn't a simple blogging website. It was a personal homepage that had a certain level of privacy and could be used to build one's own network. One could post photos to one's friends, publish one's diary, and even purely use it as a place to publish one's own private information.
How could such a fun Facebook not be popular?
