"Brother Jian, come here for a bit."
After chatting with Li Nan for a while, Chen Yu asked Zhang Jianming to come to his office.
"Boss Chen, you're looking for me?"
"Come, sit."
Chen Yu made a cup of tea for Zhang Jianming.
"Brother Jian, the second batch of Pear mp3 players will be released next month. Are you confident?"
"Don't worry, we can sell at least 300,000 units on our online platform."
Zhang Jianming assured Chen Yu, "I made a pre-order on YY Music and 100,000 people have already paid a deposit of 100 yuan."
"Not bad, not bad."
"It's mainly because the singers did a good job promoting it. It saved us a lot of effort."
Chen Yu nodded, "That's true, the celebrities have a lot of influence."
"But Brother Jian, I didn't call you here today to talk about the mp3 players."
Chen Yu took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you think about Baidu?"
"Baidu?"
Zhang Jianming paused for a second.
Chen Yu continued, "Baidu has a search engine and controls 40% of the traffic. If they target anyone, no company will have a good time. "
That's right.
Chen Yu didn't forget about Baidu.
When Baidu Music was released, Chen Yu was busy expanding his platform and didn't have time to deal with Baidu.
Now that YY Music was stable and had successfully released the mp3 players, Chen Yu finally had time.
However, Zhang Jianming didn't understand Chen Yu's words. He thought for a bit and said, "Baidu Music has good traffic, but it's not good enough. Recently, Pear mp3 players were released. Baidu Music isn't doing well."
"I know, that's not what I'm talking about."
Chen Yu shook his head. "Whether they do well or not, Baidu is a threat to us."
"Boss Chen, are you saying that we should also do a search?"
Understanding what Chen Yu meant, Zhang Jianming said, "We have to do it."
Chen Yu nodded.
"The search engine's technical content is too high. It's very difficult for us to enter."
Although Zhang Jianming's computer skills were not very good, he still had some understanding of search engines.
It could be said that the most complicated technology on the Internet was the search engine.
Although it was just a box, the technology within the box was not something that ordinary companies could grasp.
Of course, you can just create a search engine.
But the problem is that your search engine doesn't have the technical content to search for more sites.
If users can't find any useful content using your search engine, naturally, your search engine won't be used by others.
Just like in China.
In fact, Baidu was not the first search engine in China.
Before Baidu, there was Yahoo.
But Baidu took over the market with its hyperlink technology.
In fact, Yahoo was not only one of the first search engines in China, but also in the global search engine field.
Unfortunately, Yahoo's search engine was too simple. In the end, it was overtaken by Google.
Of course, in China, in addition to Baidu and Yahoo, there was also Sohu.
These were all because their technical content was not high. In the end, their market share continued to decline.
Until now, most people in China were using Baidu.
"It's indeed difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it."
Chen Yu nodded. "Pay attention to whether there are any talents in this field in China. If there are, hire them here."
"Yes, Boss Chen."
Zhang Jianming nodded.
"Also, although we can't create instant messaging for the time being, we have to do something about Baidu Music."
Baidu Music was tied to Baidu Search Engine and had an innate advantage.
Although it was being beaten by Huanyu Technologies, it still had a certain share of the market.
If Baidu Music did not die, the road to legitimate music would be greatly affected.
Of course, Baidu was not interested in whether it was legitimate or not.
But electronic music copyrights, video copyrights … and so on. In the future, copyrights would be Chen Yu's focus.
Now that he had time, Chen Yu wanted to do something about Baidu Music.
The first step was to immediately sue Baidu.
Although Baidu did not upload the music itself, it indirectly provided the music for download.
In itself, this was supporting piracy. Although this lawsuit against Baidu was not afraid, after all, it was not directly providing piracy. Even if they lost the lawsuit, Baidu would not suffer much loss. Moreover, they might not lose the lawsuit. But whether Baidu would lose the lawsuit or not, Chen Yu had to show this attitude.
It was Baidu's infringement of YY Music.
First, it was morally to let the public know that Baidu could not stand.
Second, it was to join forces with the major singers and report Baidu's infringement.
If it was in the past, the major singers would not be interested.
They did not have the time to care whether Baidu infringed or not.
Anyway, electronic music did not have much income online. They did not care whether Baidu infringed or not.
However, after the birth of YY Music's VIP model, the singers realized that electronic music copyrights could be used well and could also have huge benefits. Especially after the strong launch of Pear mp3, they realized that electronic music might be the next stop. In the future, even physical albums might not sell as well as electronic music.
For their own interests, and to build a good relationship with YY Music, hundreds of famous singers signed a collective report.
Third, it was to mobilize the public.
The power of the public was strong.
Especially those netizens who supported legitimate electronic music.
Zhang Jianming specially organized an activity to support legitimate music on YY Music.
Each netizen could write a sentence of support for the legitimate music under the wall of support for the legitimate music.
Although this was just a message, there was no actual action.
But thousands of netizens instantly joined in, and this became a legitimate domestic declaration.
[I, Fan Dalong, will be the first to speak. I support the legitimate music. Start with me. Come, come, everyone, take a look at my subscription record.]
Yes, Fan Dalong was the Pear mp3 scalper.
Yes.
He made a lot of money from the scalper business. Naturally, he supported the legitimate music unconditionally.
The more people supported the legitimate music, the more he earned.
Of course, this was a joke.
The scalpers were only a small minority. More than 99% of users supported the legitimate music without any benefits.
[I didn't know what piracy was before, but since I found out that piracy harmed so many singers, I started to support the legitimate music.]
[I'm a high school student. I can't fork out too much money to support the legitimate music. But my teacher said that if everyone supports the legitimate music, the cost of the legitimate music will drop very, very low. In the future, a song won't even cost a cent. It might be five cents or even one cent …]
[I like to listen to music, but I know that these songs were written by singers. If these singers don't have a source of income, then I won't be able to listen to those good songs in the future. Support the legitimate music …]
[Even high school students know how to support the legitimate music. As an adult, I'm in tears. I won't say anything else. Support the legitimate music. Start with me.]
