Chapter 1074

Jiang Daier thinks she is the kind of girl who loves Dou late. Although she pursues a lot of boys, she is still ignorant of men's and women's affairs in college. She often makes Xiaoyan, Lin Bing and Xu Wei laugh at the miserable life of female high school students who have no secret love.

Xiao Yan and Lin Bing made a special trip to Hong Kong by plane last night. At night, the four girls crowded into a room like they did in college and talked excitedly about their college life. Finally, sun Jingxiang came crazy, which would drive Xiao Yan, Lin Bing and Xu Wei out of other rooms to sleep, so as not to keep Jiang Daier excited at the concert the next day.

Memory even if the spring water is dug out, once the spring hole is dug, it is difficult to cover it. Jiang Daier suddenly found that the memory from the winter of 1994 is particularly profound. The four people are crowded in the narrow rear compartment, separated by thin pants, and their hips are next to Zhang Ke's thighs. Nearly five years have passed, and the memory is still so clear, Just like sitting close together yesterday, there is an unspeakable wonderful taste, just like imagining that the hands holding the chest are the hands of another person.

Jiang dai'er knew that she was like a flower that suddenly bloomed that winter. She was no longer in love with a girl who had not yet opened - perhaps the newly opened love was more like a girl's secret love, more like an unspeakable good feeling. After some time, this feeling may fade, like a passing cloud. When you think back, you will feel that you were childish and ridiculous at that time. Maybe you will unknowingly go deep into the bone marrow and become an imprint, which can't be erased in this life.

The memory extends from the winter of 1994. The summer of 1995 was simple and happy. It almost passively promoted them to become advertising girls. When they met Xu Si, Xie Wanqing, sun Jingxiang and ye Jianbin, they saw Zhang Ke and Xu Si hug each other and go away under the umbrella two years ago, In the past two years, I can do what I want to do, and I don't have time to carefully clean up these things hidden in the shadow in my heart. If I look carefully, it seems that there are some moss, but it is also green.

With this guy, there will be an idea of looking forward to being with him forever. Jiang Daier stared at the moonlight on the windowsill and thought that this guy might already belong to many women?

With the excitement of the upcoming concert and the memories of the past few years, Jiang dai'er barely fell asleep until two o'clock in the morning. When she woke up the next day, the whole person was involved in the final preparation before the concert, and had no mind to think about anything else.

When selling tickets for the concert, many people lined up with small benches or tents the day before. At this time, I heard that scalper tickets have been fried to seven or eight times the price. Although there have been many live singing experiences, the special large concert is the first time, which is almost a necessary step for every successful singer to reach the peak.

Before nightfall, Jiang dai'er went backstage with sun Jingxiang, Xu Wei and many company staff to prepare for the concert. Xiao Yan and Lin Bing also came directly backstage. They arrived in Hong Kong to witness the success of their good friends. Even if they think Jiang dai'er's singing is charming, they still feel completely different from ordinary fans. Jiang dai'er's father, who came from Huishan specially, although he couldn't help at all, crowded backstage and watched others busy there. He also felt very happy. He didn't go to the front to listen to his daughter's concert until the show began.

Jiang Daier's mother, Li Yueru, has been running around with her daughter these years. She is more and more like a professional agent nanny. She is also quite professional in giving Jiang Daier the final psychological counseling before playing.

When Jiang Dai was a child, she took out her mobile phone from her mother's bag to watch the time. The concert was approaching minute by minute. That guy had not appeared backstage. Would he honestly sit down and watch the concert among ordinary fans? Even so, it seems that you have to say hello backstage first.

"Are you very nervous?" made Xiaoyan see that Jiang Daier kept taking out her mobile phone to see the time.

"OK..." Jiang dai'er smiled.

The door of the dressing room was opened. Tang Jing and Sheng Xia looked in and slipped in. Just the two of them made Xiaoyan notice the surprise that Jiang Daier's eyes suddenly burst. When she saw that only Tang Jing and Sheng Xia came in, she became darker and thought: are you looking forward to that guy?

"Ah, sister dai'er is really dazzling today," Tang Jing said excitedly when she saw that Jiang dai'er was already on the stage. "We were about to go out. Suddenly, she received a phone call. Xiao Jincheng wanted to rush to the hotel to discuss things... We came first. Zhang Ke might be a little late. He also wrote a note for me to bring it to you."

"Er..." Jiang dai'er didn't know what Zhang Ke would write on the note and asked his girlfriend to bring it to her. She took the note in doubt. After looking at it, she couldn't help laughing and scolding, "this guy!" so she stopped caring about this guy and concentrated on preparing for the stage.

Xiao Yan turned her head and looked at the note on the dressing table. It said, "don't wait for me, you start first!" she couldn't help laughing. This guy thought it was dinner.

What Xiao Jincheng came to talk about is really very important.

In late July, Jinhu ended its lawsuit with the American recording industry association in the United States. According to the content of the settlement agreement, Jinhu will adopt more strict anti-theft software encryption technology for iPlayer sold in North America. In North America, it will strictly bind the iPlayer hardware platform with the global music online network platform.

In this way, new contradictions will be formed.

In addition to Toshiba and scober, which hold shares in global music online, other manufacturers authorized by Jinhu to produce and sell digital music player hardware in North America are not only limited by financial resources, but also limited by additional terms with Jinhu. They are unable to establish a new online music store platform outside global music online.

Others have invested in the establishment of genuine music download and sales websites, because without the cooperation of iPlayer hardware platform, they can not compete with global music online at all - Jinhu's absolute holding of global music online is suspected of monopoly in the United States.

Even though Toshiba, scober and Jinhu are still on their honeymoon, Jinhu's absolute control of global music online still makes them wary.

Some lawsuits can be fought, and some troubles should be avoided in advance. In order to take root in the North American market, we must take the initiative to adapt to the market environment and legal environment in North America. On the other hand, the concept of new technology Internet industry is hot in the European and American capital markets. After reconciliation with the American record industry association, Zhang Ke decided that Jinhu should actively give up its absolute control over global music online.

Jinhu can transfer almost 30% of the equity of global music online.

First of all, this part of the equity will not be transferred to Toshiba and scopper, so as not to gain greater control over global music online; Nor will it be transferred to other hardware manufacturers to avoid creating more competitors in the iPlayer market.

Before, Amazon, the largest e-commerce website in North America, made an offer, but mayasun wanted to buy all the shares of global music online held by Jinhu. Of course, this is a condition that Jinhu will never accept, and naturally there is no need for in-depth negotiation.

Zhang Ke received a call from Xiao Jincheng before preparing to listen to Jiang Daier's personal concert. The latest news from Xiao Jincheng is that Microsoft has just officially proposed to acquire 30% of the equity of global music online that Jinhu intends to transfer.

"... Microsoft only requires to obtain iPlayer authorization, and the authorization level should be the same as that of scober..."

This is indeed an important emergency. Some things were unclear on the phone. Zhang Ke asked Xiao Jincheng to come directly to the hotel and informed Chen Xinsheng, Su Jindong, Ding Huai and Cheng Hanzhang to hold a teleconference to discuss the matter briefly. In time for the concert, he sent someone to drive Tang Jing and Sheng Xia first.

Microsoft suddenly threw an olive branch, which surprised and frightened the executives of Jinhu.

In 1995, Microsoft launched Windows 95 operating system * * in DOS system, which quickly occupied the global personal computer market and finally determined Microsoft's dominant position in the field of operating system and business tool software. At this time, Microsoft's market value has exceeded 120 billion US dollars, and Bill Gates also topped the world rich list with his Microsoft shares.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, Microsoft's status and influence are much higher than Deyi.

Microsoft has thrown an olive branch to cooperate with Jinhu. The senior management of Jinhu is somewhat flattered. This news is an important financial event that will cause a sensation between the media and ordinary people.

In addition to the surprise, there are deep concerns, because Microsoft is not an enterprise that monopolizes the operating system software market.

In recent years, relying on the strategy of bundling sales, Microsoft has penetrated into all aspects of the field of commercial tool software, so that in recent years, there is a saying in the IT software industry: "never do what Microsoft wants to do".

Of course, Microsoft's ambition is not just to expand into the field of commercial software. In 1995, Microsoft launched MSN online. In 1996, it co founded MSNBC with NBC, an American Broadcasting giant, and became an online news service provider. In 1997, it acquired Hotmail, the most popular mail service in the United States. This year, it launched MSN messenger network instant messaging service, At this time, it has become one of the largest integrated Internet service providers in the United States.

Microsoft's offering of such an olive branch this time not only involves in the online music market, but also requires Jinhu to authorize the transfer of digital music player hardware technology, which also means that Microsoft intends to enter the field of consumer electronic hardware.

"If you agree to cooperate with Microsoft, do you want to attract wolves into the house?" Su Jindong did not deny his concerns during the temporary conference call.

Today, North America has become the most important market for Jinhu to sell iPlayer.

In the field of digital music players, Toshiba pays more attention to the operation of Rb wood and soil market than the North American market.

Although scooter's business focus is on the European and American markets, scooter does not have core technology, but also seriously depends on the business model of integrating hardware sales and network platform created by Jinhu. At the same time, scooter's financial scale also determines that scooter cannot pose a real threat to Jinhu's position in the North American market in the short term

At this time, let Microsoft step in. Microsoft has the strength to threaten Jinhu's position in the North American market.

"It doesn't seem reliable to refuse Microsoft..." Chen Xinsheng said in a temporary conference call. Due to technical constraints, there is inevitably a zipping current noise in the conference call, which makes Chen Xinsheng's voice sound a little noisy.

We all have a thorough understanding of the current situation and development trend of the industry, and we don't need Chen Xinsheng's detailed explanation to know what Chen Xinsheng wants to express.

Previously, in order to promote iPlayer technology, it was necessary to quickly break out of the Japanese MD manufacturers' camp. Jinhu has widely authorized relevant product technologies in the global region.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Extensive technology licensing has rapidly expanded the scale of Dyer technology market and surpassed MD. the disadvantages are also obvious. Jinhu no longer has the dominant power of technology licensing. Microsoft can bypass Jinhu's technology blockade as long as it casually buys a company that has obtained technology licensing before.

In addition, Microsoft can also provide genuine music download services on the Internet service platform where it has determined its dominant position in the industry.

The business model of Jinhu is copied and understated by Microsoft. Moreover, the foundation of global music online is far from deep-rooted, and whether it can withstand the confrontational impact of Microsoft is far from unknown.

With such a big contradiction in front of us, a short teleconference could not make a final decision. We held a one hour telephone call and decided that the North American company, on behalf of Jinhu, would contact Microsoft first, find out Microsoft's determination to enter the online music market and the hardware field of DMP digital music player, and first offer a price that Microsoft could not accept.

"If Microsoft agrees to pay $900 million, 30% of the equity of global music online can be transferred to them immediately. If there are any remaining problems, we'll find a way to wipe our ass," Zhang Ke's voice echoed slightly in the communication channel of the conference call. "If Microsoft thinks our offer is a little too high, it doesn't matter. You can sit down and talk slowly..."

After a short teleconference, Zhang Ke looked at his watch. Jiang Daier's concert has been going on for a while. He doesn't continue to chat and fart with Xiao Jincheng in the hotel. He said to him, "I promise others to go to the concert. It's not a breach of appointment if I can listen to the tail now. I invite you to go with me."

"Is the concert almost over?" Xiao Jincheng said. He still got into Zhang Ke's car and rushed to the concert site together. His wife and son also went to the concert, thinking that they would be picked up in time.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Jincheng joked with Zhang Ke: "how will Microsoft feel when they hear our offer?"

The asking price of 30% equity of global music online is $900 million. Xiao Jincheng wants to blackmail Microsoft. He has never thought to open the price so high. He is also worried that this random offer may annoy Microsoft, so that Microsoft can adopt a confrontational business strategy, which will really create the most threatening competitor for Jinhu in the North American market.

"Asking exorbitant prices and sitting on the ground to pay back money. Besides, I'd rather let Microsoft leave the impression that Jinhu lion is open, rather than let them think that Jinhu is a docile sheep." Zhang Ke doesn't worry. The strength of widgets is not in the field of consumer electronic hardware. Instead of worrying about Microsoft, It's better to worry that Apple may still revitalize itself with digital music players - in his impression, Microsoft entered the field of consumer electronic hardware after 2001, and gradually made some achievements in the fields of game consoles, digital music players and digital mobile phones. I didn't expect that the butterfly wings of Jinhu will now fan Microsoft away from the track of history, Microsoft's participation at this time can curb Apple's future rise. Deep down, Zhang Ke still welcomed Microsoft to join at this time, but this reason could not be explained to others. He explained to Xiao Jincheng, "If it is a pure online music store, 30% of the equity is certainly not worth so much money; Microsoft also knows that the business model of the integration of hardware sales and Internet music platform may not be fully successful even if Microsoft wants to copy it - if the total sales of iplayers in North America exceed 50 million, is the 30% equity of global music stores worth 900 million?"

The total sales of iPlayer in North America exceeded 50 million. Although the encryption technology of iPlayer will be cracked, in theory, there are nearly 50 million potential paying users of global music online.

As the largest e-retailer in North America, Amazon has only so many paying users. However, Amazon's market value has exceeded $30 billion.

To put it this way, Zhang Ke's offer is not unreasonable.

One of the characteristics of the new technology wave bubble is that investors will take a look at future earnings expectations, just as the Internet is expected to wait for 02 or 03 years before it can reverse the situation of deficit management, but it does not prevent the online stock price of the company from being above $fifteen on NASDAQ.

It is not impossible for the total sales volume of iPlayer to exceed 50 million in North America. It is really hard to judge how many paying users global music online can actually get from it.

Even in the United States, where copyright protection is tight, there are still a lot of piracy or the use of free resources.

Before that, the total sales volume of iPlayer in North America had just exceeded 2 million pieces. On the one hand, the encryption software was not strict enough and easy to crack. On the other hand, North America was rich in free music resources on the Internet, and there were only 400000 paying users of global music online. North American companies estimated that the real paid downloads were far less than one tenth of the total downloads of iPlayer.

Of course, traditional publishers such as the American record industry association are struggling tirelessly, the legal environment for copyright protection is more strict, and the free music resources in North America are rapidly decreasing. Jinhu also promises to adopt more strict encryption restriction technology and promise to provide relevant technologies to other manufacturers authorized by Jinhu technology free of charge.

Although this situation has restrained the sales of iPlayer in North America to some extent, it has also rapidly increased the number of paying users of global music online - how large the final user group of iPlayer can be, which is the key to dispute the value of global music websites.

Xiao Jincheng caught the trap of asking too much. Although he felt that Microsoft was very unlikely to accept the price, their purpose was to hold Microsoft down first.

When I arrived at the concert site, the concert was coming to an end. When I parked my car in the parking lot, I heard the cries of fans in the venue. The atmosphere was so warm that I almost had to lift the roof off.

Zhang Ke couldn't get in touch with Tang Jing. She thought that she and Sheng Xia might not hear the mobile phone ring in front of the anti profit stage. With bodyguards following, the staff here would also notice their safety and have nothing to worry about.

The scene was so hot that he couldn't squeeze in to find Tang Jing. He had to call Xu Wei and ask her to send a staff out to take them backstage until the concert was over.

Xiao Jincheng likes to join in the fun. He slips to the front from the backstage side door. The end is the end. At least he can listen to a few songs.

When Zhang Ke had dinner yesterday, he vowed to come over and cheer for Jiang Daier. Unexpectedly, he delayed things until now. He waited backstage for Jiang Daier to return and change his last suit. It was no mistake to say a few words.

At the end of the song, Jiang Daier stepped back to the backstage to change her last suit. When she saw Zhang Ke in the dressing room, she waved excitedly. However, the time for changing clothes in the concert was very tight. She had to change clothes, remember the lyrics, make up and adjust her singing mood. How could she have time to speak?

Seeing that the staff were in a hurry, Zhang Ke didn't mean to make trouble. He withdrew from the dressing room first and went to the channel between the stage and the backstage. There was a door and cloth curtain separated from the front stage. Open the door so that people can hide behind the cloth curtain and watch the final performance of the concert.

"Ah, here you are..." Jiang dai'er changed her last suit and was ready to appear.

Jiang dai'er's last dress was a hip covering T-shirt with a slanted length and half knee exposed. The pattern on the T-shirt was a little weird. I really don't know what the fashion designer's taste is.

"Wait..." Zhang Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong with Jiang dai'er's clothes. He pulled Jiang dai'er back, who was about to go on stage. "Take off your clothes and put on my shirt..." Zhang Ke quickly took off his shirt. Jiang dai'er was stunned there. Time was tight. There was a voice calling Jiang dai'er to come out. In a hurry, Pull the cloth curtain over, cover Jiang Daier and herself, and help Jiang Daier take off his t-shirt by himself.

Jiang dai'er was at a loss. In this way, she took off her T-shirt for Zhang Ke and stood half naked for a few seconds. Only then did she realize that she had to hold her breast in a bra with both hands.

"Why don't you play yet?" Sun Jingxiang, Li Yueru and Xu Wei listened to the call outside the field and trotted over from the dressing room to see whether they saw Jiang Daier or Zhang Ke. They saw the cloth curtain moving violently.
