Chapter 386
Li Mu and Geng Yang broke down without any surprise. ?hunting??text?????????
Because Li Mu didn't want to talk to him at all.
Thinking of losing some money after hitting someone? Don't say that he doesn't agree, Zhao Kang is now worth tens of millions, and it is impossible for him to agree.
Besides, the uncensored version of "Old Boy" has already been broadcast, and Li Mu will never delete the scenes about Jishen Laobaigan during the replay, because then everyone will realize that they have confessed to Jishen Laobaigan and act like that. If it's not good, it will make a big advertisement for him.
Therefore, Li Mu must stick to this issue to the end, and no TV station can cut even a single frame of his own film.
Geng Yang hated Li Mu to death, but he couldn't stop the rebroadcast of "Old Boy" on Shonan Satellite TV at 7:30. Tens of millions of users turned on Shonan Satellite TV to watch, and the ratings of Shonan Satellite TV reached 10%. The leaders of Shonan Satellite TV were all cheered up, and the key interface person who got the priority rebroadcast rights of "Old Boy" from Makino Imaging at an affordable price of 2 million was also praised by the leaders of the station.
Li Mu asked Ning Hao to inform the major TV stations in the morning. From tomorrow until the end of the first month, during this period, the major TV stations can arrange the time and number of replays at will, and there is no need to communicate with Muye Imaging to confirm, but still make sure that one thing is, Can't cut.
At the same time, Li Mu told Zhao Kang that the navy should not stop, and let him control the rhythm by himself. ,
After arranging these two events, Li Mu stopped paying attention to the follow-up exhibition of "Old Boy", because he realized that a new Internet craze had begun to stir.
According to data from EasyTing.com, in the past two days, the number of online music auditions has skyrocketed to an unprecedented height. At the same time, the number of mp3 downloads has also increased significantly.
These two figures, on the surface, are due to Du Wei's two popular works, "The Year in a Hurry" and "In My Singing", but Li Mu smelled a different breath from it.
There are often deeper details behind the data. Li Mu believes that since 2oo2, the number of computer hardware and mp3 hardware has increased significantly, especially mp3, which is still in the thousands in 2oo1. It is a rare item, but during the Spring Festival, the price suddenly began to loosen and break the ice. Now you can buy a good mp3 for seven or eight hundred yuan, and if it is cheaper, you can also get it for four or five hundred yuan.
Li Mu realized that the spring of mp3 hardware is coming, so the spring of EasyTing.com is also coming.
Although Li Mu has long had an idea to sell all YiTing.com to Baidu, this does not prevent him from taking advantage of the popularity of mp3.
It is more valuable to make YiTing.com. If Baidu regards it as the key to its next breakthrough, then he will buy it for 500 million yuan, and he will also buy it for 1 billion yuan. If it is hot, he will still buy it for 2 billion yuan.
In view of this situation, Li Mu suddenly wanted to strike while the iron was hot in the field of mp3.
The degree of development and popularity of the industry often depends on a company and a product, just as the mTk system gave birth to the entire Chinese cottage industry, and the iphone led the global smart phone innovation boom. Chances are, it is very likely that it will quickly promote the development of domestic mp3 software and hardware, making it much faster than the previous life.
Li Mu believes that the core of the mp3 boom is hardware, followed by software. If mp3 players can quickly reduce prices and penetrate into ordinary users, they will definitely be able to make mp3 downloads popular.
If the price of hardware is reduced, Li Mu also has a general plan. Now is the era of opaque hardware profits, and the profit margin of hardware is relatively large. If he finds a company that can produce mp3 in the name of EasyTing.com, and customizes a large number of easy-to-play.com Listening to the mp3 player named by the Internet, and then dumping it on the market at a cost price that absolutely does not make a penny, the first benefit will be to directly increase the number of users of the mp3 player; secondly, it will force other mp3 manufacturers to cut prices, In this way, a large-scale wave of price reduction will be stimulated, and the price and entry threshold of mp3 will be quickly lowered, just like Shenzhou's impact on the notebook market, and it will do more than it does.
If the mp3 player can drop to the price level of the previous 2oo3 year in 2oo2, then mp3 online audition and download will become one of the most popular Internet fields in 2oo2, and now YiTing.com is solving streaming problems. In terms of media playback, page UI, user experience, product functions, etc., it has been ahead of its peers for more than one era. Therefore, once mp3 becomes popular this year, YiTing.com will be the biggest beneficiary.
Li Mu almost had an urge to go to the Shenzhen market in person, find a few suitable foundries there, and hurry up to customize a batch of mp3s. The estimated cost should be controlled within 3oo yuan, and if you order one hundred thousand units , but only 30 million is needed, and you can also discuss the specific settlement method with the manufacturer, and strive for a certain period of time, thereby reducing capital investment.
However, Li Mu quickly suppressed his impulse again. Although there is no problem in doing it now, he will waste a perfect opportunity - Taobao.
Just imagine, if Taobao.com is established, with Alipay as the payment channel, and hundreds of thousands of mp3s sold at the factory cost price are settled on Taobao for sale, how much will it promote Taobao?
Now Alipay has more than 10 million users, and maybe 100,000 mp3s at the ex-factory price will be sold out within a few days, which will greatly help Taobao's reputation and popularity. How could Li Mu miss such a good opportunity?
It seems that doing Taobao is indeed imperative!
Li Mu can only temporarily seal his mp3 plan, and then return to Yanjing after a few years, seize the time to find Liu Yingdong Liu, and start Taobao together.
...
On the fifth day of the new year, Lin Qingya suddenly called Li Mu. She said that she attended a high school reunion last night. After hearing about her at Muye Technology, a high school classmate recommended her her cousin who had just returned from abroad. , It is said that her cousin went to the United States for further studies in 1991, and obtained a master's degree and a doctorate degree in computer science from the University of Minnesota. .
As soon as Li Mu heard the word "Google", a strong belief as a programmer emerged spontaneously.
In the minds of most computer technicians, the company with the highest belief is Google, which even Apple can’t compare to. Google has too many products that affect the world, and too many technology giants that can affect the world. To catch one is the top level in the industry.
Li Mu asked Lin Qingya, "What's that person's name?"
Lin Qingya said, "His name is Fang Xudong."
Fang Xudong?
Li Mu's eyes lit up. He had heard of this person in his previous life. He was the most powerful Huaxia software engineer at Google. Fang Xudong returned to China in 2oo5 to work as a cTo in a large Internet company, becoming one of the top ten cTos recognized in the industry. It is an absolute technology. Dana.
As soon as he heard that Lin Qingya and Fang Xudong knew each other, Li Mu immediately asked, "Is this Fang Xudong going to return to China for an exhibition?"
"No." Lin Qingya said, "My classmate told me that he intends to return to China, but he has always lamented that there is no good Internet company and employment environment in China, but he talked about us in front of my classmate when he went home to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year this year. The company, it is said that he still recognizes our company very much, so my classmate heard that I work in our company, and wanted to introduce him to know me, and their family also hoped that he could return to work in China."
Li Mu understands, Fang Xudong just has the idea of returning to China, but he has never had a good choice, so he didn't come back until 2oo5 in his last life. However, there was no Muye Technology in his last life, so I don't know whether the Muye Technology in this life can be Impress this tech giant?
So Li Mu asked, "Have you met him?"
"Not yet." Lin Qingya said, "I got his contact information, but I haven't made an appointment with him yet. I don't understand technology, and I'm afraid that if we don't talk well, people will lower their impression of our company. My idea is, Mr. Li, can you take the time to come over in person, if he is really strong, our technical level will be much easier in the future."
Lin Qingya has long responded to Li Mu's request to search for suitable technical personnel all over the world. After the year, Storm Entertainment will have an internal test of "Miracle Mu". Li Mu still wants to do e-commerce, and there is a huge shortage of technical talents. If a technical gurus who can lead a team on his own, many of Li Mu's businesses will not be able to be carried out.
This time Fang Xudong's information was an unexpected gain, and Lin Qingya was also afraid that she would not be able to take him, so she called Li Mu for help.
Li Mu agreed without hesitation and asked her to make an appointment with Fang Xudong. The earliest appointment could be tonight. Lin Qingya's home is in Lunan, not far from her home, and it can be reached by car for a few hours.
Lin Qingya immediately went to contact Fang Xudong, because she was introduced by an acquaintance, and the acquaintance was Fang Xudong's cousin, so Fang Xudong's attitude on the phone was very friendly. When Lin Qingya explained the company she worked for, and told him that it was her boss who wanted to come over in person When chatting with him, Fang Xudong was also very surprised. He had a certain understanding of Muye Technology, but it was only at the business and technical level. Coming to see himself shows the sincerity of the other party, so Fang Xudong agreed without hesitation.
The time was about seven o'clock in the evening, in a relatively high-end hotel in Zao City, south of Qilu. Lin Qingya told Li Mu the address and time, and Li Mu explained to her: "You help me book a hotel in the city, tonight I will One night in Zao City."
Excited, Li Mu drove out alone after lunch.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu's car arrived in Zao City. Zao City is the southernmost city in Qilu City. The geographical location of this city is somewhat special. The old urban area is gradually declining due to the lack of convenient external transportation. It is located in Xueguo District, west of Zao City. Because it is run through by the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, the traffic is convenient, so the exhibition gradually catches up with the old urban area. Lin Qingya's dinner place and Li Mu's hotel are a three-star hotel here. (To be continued.)
