In fact, if one were to compare the Pear mp3 to the iPod, other than the sound quality, everything else would be better. In terms of function, the iPod was just a music player, but the Pear mp3 was not only a music player, it also had a recording function.
In addition, from the interface, the Pear mp3 chose the USB port.
Although the USB port was not as fast as the 1394 port of the iPod, it was very convenient.
As long as one could find a computer, one could transfer data and charge it.
Third, the iPod did not have a music store, but the Pear mp3 did.
Although many people might not see the use of the music store for the mp3 for now, it would definitely explode with terrifying power in the future. Chen Yu was very much looking forward to this.
Fourth, the super-capacity battery could support the Pear mp3 for 24 hours.
What did the Chinese like?
This could be seen from the mobile phone.
In the past, the mobile phone's specifications were very low, but there must be an awesome configuration, and that was the large battery capacity.
The kind that did not need to be charged for a week would sell out in minutes.
The reason for this situation was that it was inconvenient for many users to charge.
For example, students.
Students below university level were in school five to six days a week, and there was no charging headset in the dormitory.
If it was not equipped with a super-large battery, it would not be enough to use in school.
Under Chen Yu's previous design ideas, the Pear mp3 also worked on the battery.
15 days of super-long standby, 24 hours of continuous playback.
He believed that this configuration would attract countless users.
Of course, in terms of design, the Pear mp3 was not worse than the iPod, it was even better.
Based on Chen Yu's design, the Pear mp3's design style was more fashionable than the iPod.
Because of the ultra-thin glass on the screen, it was also better than the iPod in terms of technology.
Maybe the Pear mp3 was not famous yet, and the brand was not as good as the iPod.
But the users were not stupid, they knew what products they needed and what products were suitable for them.
"Boss Duan, the iPod's launch was very quiet."
Bubugao's Vice President Jin Zhijiang said to Duan Yongping.
"Oh, how many have been sold?"
"We can't find out for the time being, but according to the sales staff of Chaoshun Electronics, only 10 units were sold that day."
The iPod was an agent of Super Cisectronics in the country, and some data could be obtained from the side.
"Chen Yu, it seems like you already knew."
Duan Yongping said in surprise when he saw that Chen Yu was still calm.
"This result is not surprising."
Chen Yu nodded. "We've done an iPod survey on YY Music, but less than 1% of people are interested in buying an iPod."
This was a survey that Chen Yu did on YY Music after researching the iPod.
The purpose of this was to verify if Chen Yu's prediction was accurate.
Everything was fine.
Just as Chen Yu had predicted, the iPod was not acclimatized in China.
Although his brand was very famous, not many people bought it.
Even if some of the enthusiasts bought it, they quickly started to complain.
The thing that annoyed them the most was that the iPod did not support the Microsoft operating system.
There was a solution to this, such as downloading compatible software to allow the iPod to download songs on Windows.
But this was quite troublesome.
Many noob users did not know how to download, and even if they downloaded, they did not know how to use it.
In addition, the interface was also a big problem.
Users had to buy a conversion cable.
Not only that, but because the iPod's memory card was an SD card, a card reader was needed to transfer data.
In short.
If you wanted to download a few songs from the iPod, you had to put in a lot of effort.
Not to mention that ordinary users did not know how to do this, even if they did, it was quite troublesome.
Not to mention, many ordinary users did not know how to do it.
Not only did ordinary users not know how to do it, but the sales staff of electronic products stores also did not know how to do it.
If you wanted to download a song, you would not be able to find someone who knew how to do it.
"So, our Pear MP3 can be sold?"
Duan Yongping was surprised and happy.
He did not expect the iPod to be a flop in the domestic market.
Although this was only the first day and could not represent the overall data, if the iPod performed like this on the first day, it would be more difficult in the future.
"That's right."
Chen Yu was also a little excited.
"Okay, I'll find a few celebrities to advertise."
Since they were going to release it, the necessary advertisements were still necessary.
"Teacher Duan, let me do this."
"You do it?"
Duan Yongping wanted to say something, but he quickly understood and smiled. "I almost forgot that you're the boss of the entertainment industry now."
"What boss of the entertainment industry? It's just a matter of interests."
A group of singers needed YY Music to promote their songs.
Chen Yu also needed these singers to help them attract more popularity and promote the VIP payment model.
If both sides could not bring benefits to the other side, such a cooperation would not be possible.
In fact, this was the best business model.
Everyone should not be tied to friendship and morality. Mutual benefits could lead to long-term cooperation.
After communicating with Duan Yongping, Chen Yu returned to Shencheng.
"Zhenyi, tell the people from the various record companies that we are about to release a brand new MP3 player and need a batch of songs to be built into it. Ask them if they are interested."
Chen Yu was very cunning.
Originally, he wanted these singers to advertise their MP3 players. However, if he went to them directly, the advertising fees would definitely be high. Of course, with YY Music's face, he could give them a friendship price, but even that would be a huge sum. It was better to change the method and create a cooperation model for MP3 players with built-in songs.
The so-called built-in songs meant that the songs would be built into the hard drive at the beginning of the MP3 player's sales. Users could listen to the songs without having to download them.
Needless to say, this kind of built-in model was very attractive.
This was the best way to make a name, promote songs, and expand publicity.
The major record companies did not hesitate and found more than a dozen famous singers to cooperate with YY Music.
The content of the cooperation was very simple. YY Music would help them build the songs of these singers into Pear MP3 players.
These singers would then advertise Pear MP3 players for free.
Yes.
In a word, Chen Yu not only saved a sum of advertising fees, but also maintained a more friendly cooperation with the major record companies.
This was a win-win situation.
The major record companies were very satisfied.
Chen Yu was also very satisfied.
Everything was ready. Pear MP3 players were officially released to the market.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Jielun. The new single 'In the Name of the Father' has been built into Pear MP3 players. Welcome to listen to it."
"We meet again, I am Chen Yixun. Last time, everyone was very supportive. This time, I brought you a new benefit. The latest Mandarin song 'Ten Years' has been built into Pear MP3 players. I hope everyone will like it."
"I am Liang Jingru. I am Pear MP3 players …"
YY Music's VIP subscription model not only created a payment mechanism for electronic music, but it also created a music trend. As long as a song performed well on YY Music, it would quickly become a hit offline.
Countless singers hoped that their single could achieve good results on YY Music.
Once their song was built into Pear MP3 players, it meant that it was going to be a hit.
Without needing any instructions from YY Music, the major singers immediately advertised Pear MP3 players.
