Chapter 409 The Importance of MP Three

The prelude to the orchestral music sounded, and before Du Wei started to sing, a majestic tone was set for the song.

The string music gradually entered, and in just ten seconds, a turbulent climax was created, and then it fell silent immediately, followed by Du Wei's ethereal and sweet voice that reached her heart.

"When the petals leave the flower

Fragrance residue

Fragrance disappears after wind and rain

no one to sniff...

If love tells me to go on

I will fight to the end of love

If the heart dies in brilliance

Love will be reborn from the ashes

Unforgettable lingering whispers

Pay homage to me with your smile

Let the heart die in brilliance

Let love be reborn from the ashes

Fire burns green grass

Look at the spring breeze again..."

The lyrics are concise and atmospheric, with a bit of sadness, but more of it is determined to love, with Du Wei's voice, it is easy to resonate with people.

Su Yingxue had read the lyrics in advance and liked it very much. Although the lyrics had already amazed her, after hearing the song for the first time, she was still amazed again.

At the end of the song, Su Yingxue's eyes were a little red, and she always felt that there was some kind of moving emotion in this song, and it became deeper and deeper with the singing of the song.

After listening to this version, Li Mu was also quite touched, and after a long while, he said to Chen Yadi: "Old Chen, as far as I can see, this version is the only one, and there is no need for post-editing. This version is too real and feels very real. it is good."

Chen Yadi nodded: "I think so too. That's how it looks more real. What does Miss Du think?"

Du Wei smiled shyly and said, "I have no objection, so I am very satisfied!"

Li Mu asked Su Yingxue, "What do you think?"

Su Yingxue smiled slightly,

Said, "I don't understand this, but this song is really good, I think it's perfect."

Li Mu said: "OK, this is the version! Lao Chen, first help send this version to Xiaowei's sister by email."

Duffy has been clamoring to listen to this song as soon as possible, so Li Mu asked Chen Yadi to send her the song as soon as possible.

After Chen Yadi sent the email and copied the source file to the CD, Li Mu invited everyone to have a meal together. Since the car was given to Zhao Kang, he took a taxi with Su Yingxue after the meal, and sent Du Wei home first. Only then did I go back to school with Su Yingxue.

Before sending Su Yingxue back to the dormitory, the two walked hand in hand on the campus for nearly half an hour. Like other couples, they hugged and kissed in a place where no one was there to enhance their intimacy.

Seeing that the dormitory was about to close, Li Mu watched Su Yingxue enter the dormitory building, and then turned around and walked towards his dormitory building. On the way, he received a trans-ocean call from Duffy who was far away in the United States.

The first sentence he said: "Li Mu, you are too good!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Are you talking about 'Dark Fragrance'?"

"That's right!" Duffy said excitedly, "It made me cry!"

Li Mu looked at the time and said, "New York time should be more than ten in the morning. You should be at work now, right?"

"Yes." Duffy said, "Just after the meeting, I snuck and listened to it. It's really great! Thank you!"

Li Mu said, "Sister, if you really want to thank me, please help me to register the company."

Duffy said: "Don't worry about this, I have already asked a friend to help me to get it done. The procedures for on-site operations are a little more complicated, but it won't be too long. I asked him to hire a professional to help you with the registration. In April You can come down for sure."

Li Mu calmed down and said, "Help me find a suitable part-time manager at that time. I'll be useful."

"No problem." Duffy agreed very readily, and said, "I will definitely handle this matter properly for you."

After the successful registration of the company in the United States, Li Mu was going to buy the domain name of facebook. The domain names related to facebook, such as thefacebook, thatfacebook, facebooks, etc., have been registered by Li Mu in China through Wanwang, waiting for the domain name of facebook After winning, the vast majority of the possibility of this phrase in the domain name is basically monopolized by himself. When that time comes, Mark Zuckerberg, a top student at Harvard, will definitely find him. This is the pace of history, there is no doubt.

...

Du Wei's "Dark Fragrance" is on fire.

At the moment when Du Wei's voice was played on the studio monitor speakers, everyone present firmly believed that this song would be popular.

There was no accident. As soon as this song was launched on YiTing.com, it quickly climbed to the first place on the YiTing Hot List, and the index dropped out of the second place by more than five times.

Netizens praised the song.

Someone said: "Du Wei has shown me a different side of her, her voice is really amazing, three songs, three different feelings, but they all sing her own taste, it's really amazing! "

Someone said: "A girl like Du Wei's age, with such a beautiful appearance and such a good voice, she is probably the only one in the whole country! If she makes her official debut, she will definitely become a top female singer!"

Some people also said: "Du Wei's best not to rush to debut now, just like now, it's good to release a song occasionally! She is one of the few academies in the domestic music circle, and her professional quality is better than those of the wild singers. It is much stronger, if she can patiently finish the Conservatory of Music, by that time, I believe her strength will be improved even more!"

Since the songwriter of this song is still signed Muzi, the "stage name" of Li Mu has also been sought after by many netizens.

"Mr. Muzi is really amazing and mysterious. Although he doesn't write many songs, every song is a classic!"

"Mr. Muzi's debut is actually very short, "Zebra Zebra", "When You Are Old", "The Year in a Hurry", "In My Song", "Dark Fragrance", these five songs are all very good, this kind of The stable and high-quality songwriters are definitely top-notch!"

"You have been forgotten, Mr. Muzi's voice is also very good! He sang "Zebra Zebra" and "When You Are Old", which I have been reluctant to delete from my MP3. You know, my MP3 can only save ten The song is about! Now there is another piece of Du Wei's "Dark Fragrance". It seems that I have to save money for a 64-megabyte MP3. It is best to buy a 128-megabyte MP3 in one step. In that case, at least I can save thirty or forty songs..."

After the song "Dark Fragrance" was launched, not only was the word of mouth overwhelming, but its data feedback was also very consistent with Li Mu's previous judgment on the industry.

The growth rate of downloads has set a new record. The increase in downloads indicates that the number of terminals that can play MP3 is also increasing. At present, the popular MP3 playback devices are either computers or MP3 players. Obviously, the cost of the latter is lower, and the speed of popularization will be faster.

Li Mu checked the Internet and found no recent sales data of MP3 players. However, on Zhongguancun Online, the types of MP3 players have increased significantly.

At present, the MP3 prices of big brands such as Samsung, JNC, and MSC are more expensive than Li Mu's estimate. Now the cheaper ones are 32MB MP3s, which cost less than 300 or 400 yuan, and 64MB ones start at 500 yuan. The price is almost 1,000 yuan. If it is an MP3 with an LCD screen that can display Chinese song information, the price will be even higher.

But now Huaqi, Haier, Lenovo, Founder, Aidele and these brands have all begun to release related products, and the price of MP3 should not be far off.

Li Mu felt that he was ready to start planning to disrupt the MP3 player market. This would not only become the driving force behind the complete rise of EasyTing.com, but also become a magic weapon for Taobao.com's blockbuster, which is too important for his next plan.

With the rise of YiTing.com, you can start to cash out the YiTing.com shares in batches and plans, and exchange a lot of cash for yourself. If Taobao can start selling YiTing MP3 in large quantities as soon as it comes up, it will definitely attract countless manufacturers, The attention of dealers and even small merchants, this platform can quickly attract a large number of sellers to settle in. Only when there are many stores can users truly develop the habit of online shopping.

Therefore, the small MP3 player, carrying the rapid rise of the e-commerce empire planned by Li Mu, is of great significance.

After careful analysis, if you want to gain a head start in the hardware market of this era, there are two most important factors: industrial design and price.

If you invest tens of millions of dollars and customize about 100,000 units, the cost of OEM should not be much higher than that of other manufacturers, and you will sell it on Taobao in the future. In this way, it will be more expensive than the current hardware. Manufacturers have saved a considerable amount of channel costs. You must know that manufacturers such as Lenovo have high channel costs in this era, beyond imagination. The channels are not smooth and there are too many levels of middlemen, which are also factors that are currently high in hardware.

The domestic MP3 market is divided into three levels. The high-end is almost monopolized by Korean brands. The mid-end is a few well-known domestic brands. The low-end is the prototype of some copycat OEMs, and the brand has no influence at all.

Li Mu has enough strength to fight the price war with these three levels of opponents, but if he wants to shake the status of Korean brands, he must have a strong industrial design to win.

Not all consumers only care about money, they also care about the design of a product and the experience of using it.

Li Mu felt that it was necessary to find a product design company, first to design the appearance and functions of the MP3 player that he wanted to make, and then to find a reliable foundry. The production did not need to wait for Taobao to go online, and he could start customizing it first. , in time for delivery when Taobao is online.

So, Li Mu began to think about his own requirements for the appearance of MP3 players.

The first thing that came to his mind was the Moonlight Treasure Box series, which has not yet been launched. This series can be regarded as a classic product in the early stage of the domestic MP3 market, but if you think about it carefully, it is still a little ugly. If you look at some styles from the perspective of 2016, the curve The shape is designed to resemble a mini massager used by women.

The second thing that comes to mind is the more orthodox cuboid machine. Many brands of this kind of machine have been produced, and it seems that it is difficult to make characteristics;

Li Mu also thought of Sony's S700, which was a classic dial controller for a while.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Mu found that what he really liked was the iPod, but now that the iPod has been released in its first generation, Li Mu tends to adopt the appearance of the iPodnano.

Nano is a slender and thin strip, and the cross-section is a flat oval design, both in appearance and grip are very good, due to cost considerations, there is definitely no way to use a color LCD screen now, but it doesn't matter , you can use the most common monochrome screen now, enlarge the screen a little, so that you can display more content, song list, and even lyrics, and then design a disc-shaped control button in the lower part, the top MP3 socket, and the bottom data line socket , a bolt hole is designed in the upper right corner, which is basically OK.

However, Li Mu could only come up with a general idea in his mind, and the specific solution still needs a professional designer to come up with a solution.

Li Mu called Fang Xudong, and the other party confirmed that the time to leave is in early April, and the time to arrive in China is in the middle of late April, and he has now started to write the background structure of Taobao. According to him, it is still very smooth.

So Li Mu decided to ask Liu Yingdong to register the company first, and then asked him to hurry up to build an operation team. As for the front and back offices of Taobao.com, he can hand it over to his own R&D center to develop it, which is not a big problem.

After making an appointment with Li Mu to start an e-commerce business years ago, Liu Yingdong has been waiting for news from Li Mu. He sold all his stores not long after the year, and now he takes it with him at home every day to watch e-commerce related articles. Book.

Since the transfer of all the stores and leaving the Zhongguancun Electronic Building, the relationship between Brother Liu and his girlfriend Gong Xiaojing has become much better. In the past, Gong Xiaojing and his family were somewhat disdainful of his position as a small business and hawker. Now, although he is squatting at home all day , without any occupation, but Gong Xiaojing is still full of hope for him, because she witnessed the agreement between Li Mu and Liu Yingdong, Li Mu's current Muye technology is so strong, even Gong Xiaojing's family was shocked and learned that Liu Yingdong wanted to cooperate with him , her family's attitude towards Liu Qidong immediately changed dramatically.

Even Gong Xiaojing's family said in private that if Liu Yingdong and Li Mu really set up a company together, and as Li Mu said, let Liu Yingdong contribute 10% and hold 20% of the shares, then Gong Xiaojing and Liu Yingdong can prepare for marriage.

Gong Xiaojing conveyed the meaning of the family to Liu Yingdong. Because of this, Liu Yingdong has been waiting for Li Mu's call during this time.

However, Liu Yongdong is also very able to bear his temper. He knows that Li Mu is a busy person first, and it is pointless to push him by himself.

When Li Mu's name appeared on the screen of his mobile phone, Liu Yingdong grabbed the phone excitedly and quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Li Mu."

Liu Rongdong kept his voice as calm as possible.

Li Mu smiled on the phone: "Senior brother, what have you been busy with recently?"

Liu Rongdong said: "I'm not busy with anything. The store is sold out. I read books at home every day and read e-commerce-related matters."

Li Mu laughed: "That's great, these books you read will come in handy soon!"
