The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Zhou Ya’s assistant opened the carrying bag in his hand, and took out a mp3 with apricot-red color from the inside that looked very projecty but not exaggerated.

Seeing the mp3 Dome's eyes lit up, Yang Dongxu reached out and grabbed it from the assistant before he handed it to him. Then it fiddles like a little child getting a beloved toy.

Do not fiddle with the instruction manual for a few minutes, and then understand the function of this mp3. Then I took the data cable and couldn't wait to import the songs from the computer into it.

Dom’s laptop is the latest model, so the parts that link the data cable are currently usb excuses that Microsoft has joined with several other major computer manufacturers. The mp3 is now equipped with this transmission line, and the overall design of the data line is the same as that of future mobile phone chargers.

Bringing the plug is the charger, and unplugging the plug is the USB data cable. Such a simple and clever design makes Dom praise the manufacturers' cattle.

As everyone knows, in addition to the manufacturer's cattle, this USB excuse is actually not a patent of Microsoft and Great Computer, but belongs to Dongxu Technology.

While other computer manufacturers are still unifying this port, Dongxu has already reached the stage of technology maturity, and can directly enter the market. The data transfer rate is more than ten times that of other computer hardware manufacturers.

So unconsciously, Dongxu Technology obtained the patent and ownership of this small port that does not seem to be inconspicuous. Although the patent fee is very low, it has become the first step for Dongxu Technology to enter the world.

Download the good song, open the mp3 playlist after quitting the download, the music sounds Dom happily dancing, "Oh, God, it's too great, too great. It's an epoch-making product, boss, where can I buy this? To?"

For an IT otaku, there is nothing for them to see something that excites them from breaking the conventional electronic products. A small mp3 instantly conquered Dom, an electronic product enthusiast.

"No need to buy, this is yours." Listening to the sound quality played by mp3 is not the same as that played on the computer. Even if I have done experiments on Dongxu Technology, it can be confirmed again that Yang Dongxu is slightly relaxed. A breath.

"Oh, boss, you are greater than God, I love this little baby." Dom almost rushed to kiss Yang Dongxu.

"He also has a radio function, you can look at the manual to try it out. And his storage hard disk can only store about 20 songs, each song can not exceed 4 minutes, otherwise the number of storage will be reduced." Look With excited Dom, Yang Dongxu seemed to see the popularity after the mp3 went public.

"It's awesome to have the radio function, 20 songs? This is also a great product." Dom continued to admire that the storage of 20 songs in the later generations is a scum, but it is placed in the current electronic products. Under hardware conditions, as Dom said, it is definitely an epoch-making product.

"Okay, you will be studying this later. I will discuss it now. What do I need to prepare for this music website that can provide music and download if it goes online?" Yang Dongxu put the charging treasure and the assistant in his hand. Bags of other small things were placed in front of Dom, knocking on the table to let the other person turn their attention.

"The website is basically no problem, I have tested it in a small area before, and all the vulnerabilities and problematic places have been modified. As long as you rent a good server, you can go online immediately. But our song reserve is a problem. There is nothing to test on a small scale. But if it goes online, we don’t own the copyright of any of these songs.” Dom reluctantly put down the mp3 in his hand and reminded.

Unlike domestic music websites, as long as there are some songs on the world, you can upload them on the Internet. Even if someone seriously pursues or even sues, it can be a long time.

However, it is different in foreign countries, and foreign laws on copyright protection are very complete. If the infringement here is not only facing the risk of product removal, it will also face huge compensation and punishment.

"I will talk about copyright issues. You just have to tell me what preparations are needed to go online." Yang Dongxu said confidently.

Do you want to say that now the four major record companies want to bring him in, and squeeze the survival space of the small record companies that are constantly emerging? It's just that once the mp3 is hot, the bonus of downloading songs online is not easily discarded by that record company. So in this regard Yang Dongxu is confident to talk down.

"The issue of entry and publicity is the key." Dom's face became serious: "Although there is direct recording, the time for each song is the same as the song singing time, so a song should be at least a few minutes. Time, 24 hours a day of non-stop input also requires a lot of time, which is a lot of work.

The publicity is related to the number of clicks on the website, although at present no product can pose a threat to us. But making this website is not too high a technical threshold. So we must make a big hit, and then immediately distance. Let those who want to enter the field feel the pressure. "

"You can see if you can find other people to help you with the input. You can talk about the propaganda issue first." Yang Dongxu nodded and looked at Dome in surprise. Originally, he felt that the other party's technical house must be in addition to other aspects of technology. Almost, I didn't expect that the other party was fully capable of being the general manager, and he immediately grabbed the focus of the product.

"This can be done in two steps." Dom apparently made a draft before: "The first online promotion, we can cooperate with Yahoo, hang our web link on Yahoo, or search for some information about music. At that time, our ranking can be high. The second is offline promotion. If you are ample, you can invite celebrity endorsements. Our website can hang photos of endorsement stars to further attract traffic."

The promotion of the website is obviously different from that of future generations. The promotion of some new software products in the future generation will basically take online traffic. Now offline promotion is obviously more important than online, and even more expensive.

"Yahoo?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin with his finger.

Before coming to the United States, Yang Dongxu had a detailed understanding of the Internet industry in the United States. He learned that although the US Internet industry is now much more developed than China, it is actually not much relative to later generations.

Not to mention, whether it is Microsoft, Intel or Cisco, still very much on hardware research and development. Although there is nothing wrong with this, after all, there is no hardware support for everything else, but the network products are really pitiful, the game is not just starting, but the various designs are indeed very simple.

Take the current search engine for example. In the United States, one Yahoo can do it now, and even one Yahoo in the world can do it. Google is not established yet, and the development of Yahoo is still groping forward, and it is not accurately positioned on the search engine, let alone other products.

"Is there any?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask after taking a tour.

"There is also the issue of fee payment. We must pay for the copyright we buy. Whether it is employee salaries, research and development, or promotional expenses, it takes money, so how to make money is a problem." Dom looked at Yang Dongxu.

In fact, he planned to ask this question first, but when he saw the mp3, he thought a little more, so he only asked this time.

If there is no mp3 easy-to-listen music website how to charge channels is relatively narrow, it must be charged to the user according to the number of songs downloaded. However, there is a problem with this fee, that is, the current network payment is not as developed as in future generations.

If the user purchases the remittance, it is fine. After all, the credit card business in the United States is developing very well, but if you only sell a song for a few cents, or a few cents, this is a problem. Buying a song and paying for it once can easily make users impatient and lose users.

The appearance of mp3 reminded Dom that his boss was preparing to sell it in bundles. For example, how many songs can people who download mp3 download for free, and use the selling price of mp3 to supplement the operating cost of the easy-to-listen music website. Can think of this, Dome was a little unwilling.

As a technical otaku with emotional intelligence and management, he has his own arrogance. He is absolutely easy to listen to music and is a perfect product. Such a perfect product should not be used as a basis for bundling sales of basic products.

"What do you think?" Yang Dongxu asked instead of answering Dom's question.

"If it is not bundled with this little thing as a benefit. Then we can only refer to eBay's operating model." Dom said.

"Ebay! Yibei?" Yang Dongxu showed a thoughtful look on his face. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com

Although there are not many Internet products in this era, some giants in later generations have begun to appear. For example, Amazon was established last year and in 1995, and Yibei was also established.

In the future, Yibei is definitely not as good as Amazon, and I don't know how many streets were thrown out. But as far as the current market share is concerned, Yibei is actually more powerful than Amazon, otherwise Dom will not directly say Yibei, not Amazon.

"You can refer to it, but we still have to have our own characteristics of the theme structure." Yang Dongxu said with a deep thought.

Dom didn't speak, and looked at the little boss who gave himself a lot of surprises on the phone. He wanted to hear his powerful insights.

"We can be a member system." Yang Dongxu raised his lips with a smile that made Dom look very sinister.

However, this feeling disappeared in a flash, and now his main focus is still on the three words "membership" to wait for the following.

"Easy music still needs to be bundled with mp3, but it is not the kind of bundle that treats easy music as a welfare. It is a mutually beneficial cooperation.

First of all, people who buy mp3 will get a month of easy-to-listen members. That is, when buying mp3, the sales staff will immediately help the purchase customer to register as a member of Easy Music.

So easy to listen to music can get the first batch of very high-quality customers. The power of members is that they can listen to songs for free on the Easy Music website and have the power to download 20 songs for free. "
