Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Wang Fei had wanted to get up and leave long ago; she wasn't sick. However, the man's arm around her waist was so tight that even struggling felt painful.

Fortunately, Yang Che quickly ended the call, then chuckled and flipped over, pinning Wang Fei beneath him and silencing her with a kiss. Within a minute, she was no longer angry. However, she pushed him away forcefully; daytime was different from nighttime. Even though it was a secluded house, what if someone saw them?

Wang Fei raised an eyebrow: "Come back to the house with me."

"Walk."

"You'd better hurry, Tongtong is about to wake up."

"..."

Hmm... that's pretty fast. These kinds of things are difficult to do slowly, but quite easy to do quickly.

Of course, everyone is very satisfied.

........

In the following days, Yang Che was busy with two things: preparing for "Looking for a Gun" and the music website.

Modern music websites don't offer online streaming, not even in the US. They only provide MP3 download links, with each song taking seven or eight minutes to download.

Yu Wenhao and Zhang Jianbin suggested to Yang Che that he develop music software, and gave various analyses on users, industry, etc.

Yang Che remained noncommittal, instead asking, "What do you think is the core competitive advantage of video, audio, and software websites?"

Zhang Jianbin said, "Technology, constantly iterating technology."

"First-mover advantage, copyright inventory, users, and user loyalty."

Yang Che looked at Yu Wenhao with utter disappointment: "Old Yu, I've discovered you've caught a 'user-centric' internet virus. This is bad, very bad. You can tell your employees what to do, you can tell your users, but you can't believe it yourself, much less act on it."

Seeing Che Ge's heartbroken expression, Yu Wenhao felt very ashamed.

Guo Xiaoyue, who was listening in, felt that Yang Che was making veiled accusations, but she had no evidence.

Seeing that his words had touched the depths of Yu Wenhao's soul, Yang Che composed himself and continued, "The core competitiveness lies solely in the copyright inventory; the larger the inventory, the more competitive one becomes."

So how can we guarantee that we have this competitiveness? Shameless.

No matter what others say, I'll do everything I can to upload the audio.

Users don't care whether we stole or robbed it; as long as we have it and our website is user-friendly, they will be loyal.

Once the data picks up, we'll start fundraising. With the money, we can buy the copyrights back. At that point, those music companies that were criticizing us will be kneeling down and calling us "daddy."

His profound words immediately cleared their eyes.

Speaking of this music website, Yang Che didn't just copy it verbatim; he introduced two things that no music website has now.

First, listen to a 28-second preview in RAM streaming format, which requires RealPlayer software to be installed on your computer.

"Don't worry about whether the sound quality is good or bad. It's definitely bad, and that's fine. It's just a test. If it has sound quality, it's better than others."

Second, add a text-only message board below each song.

"Regional forums are different from regional forums. If you do it this way, when a song is released, have the part-time staff leave comments to guide the discussion, just a sentence or two will do, such as: 'Liu Tingting from Class 117 of Quancheng No. 3 Middle School in Shandong Province, I love you.' Or: 'Hearing this song reminded me of so-and-so, and how we were back then...'"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianbin and Yu Wenhao were as happy as if they had eaten bee droppings.

Exactly, Zhang Jianbin is happy because he can do something different from others.

As for Yu Wenhao, he had already figured out that once his own music website went online, he would be the "big brother" among the three existing competitors.

As for Guo Xiaoyue, who had been listening in, she couldn't say for sure. In any case, since the preparation and discussion of the 360 ​​Music website, she had never called Yang Che by his full name again, nor had she called him President Yang, and she did so in private as well.

As mentioned earlier, the source of this song was pirated CDs and various music websites, both domestic and international...

The website is simply called 360 Music, since it's already quite well-known.

而在杨澈又个人注资100万、于文浩注资20万，张建彬注资5万后，咕咕嘎嘎的股权变更为杨澈68%、于文浩27%、张建彬5%。

Yang Che described the music website project as "busy," but in reality, he only participated in two meetings, held a mobilization meeting for the development team, and drew up the website interface—a matter of a day and a half.

Yes, Yang Che didn't go to Wang Fei's Quancheng concert on the 18th. Although he didn't go, the reporters didn't let him off the hook.

Around noon on the 19th, entertainment reporters were actually waiting outside the company. They weren't asking about Wang Fei's performance of "My Song," but rather about what he thought about the mineral water bottles being thrown at him during Wang Fei's Quancheng concert.

That was when she sang "I'm Willing," and Wang Fei stood on the dynamic stage, slowly moving towards the audience.

The audience was incredibly excited, throwing water bottles and beverage containers onto the stage as if they were free. At first it was fine, but a few nearly hit her. Wang Fei, being the person she was, immediately turned pale, stopped singing, and said, "If you keep throwing things at me, I'm going back!"

The sound wasn't loud, but the more than 42,000 spectators at the Shandong Provincial Sports Center Stadium fell silent instantly. It's no exaggeration to say that it really was silent instantly. Some spectators described that at that moment, even their breathing became quiet. The spectators in the front row instantly transformed from rabid dogs back into well-behaved elementary school students.

Then Wang Fei turned around: "Let's try again!"

Hmm... I sang "I'm Willing" again.

What can Yang Che think?

"She didn't tell me about it. Was she hit?"

"No, almost."

"That's fine then."

"No, Mr. Yang, say a few more words."

The young entertainment reporter pleaded with him while blocking his way with his body.

Yang Che didn't make things difficult for him. After a pause, he said, "When you report on this kind of thing, please also popularize some audience etiquette. Sometimes it's not that our audience is uncivilized, but that they are too emotional and don't realize that this will disrupt the performance order and pose a safety risk. So we can't just criticize them blindly."

Wang Fei is a very straightforward girl. That's how she is in life; if she's unhappy, she's unhappy, and she doesn't engage in any pretense.

"You think Wang Fei is a girl?"

"Someone so straightforward, what else could they be but a girl?"

The entertainment reporter was very happy: "Thank you, Mr. Yang."

Yang Che waved his hand and went to have lunch with a group of people.

Well, after Wang Fei's concert, she didn't return to Beijing, but instead flew to Hong Kong to film a music video and Pepsi's latest GG.

Yuanyuan is still in Tangshan, Honghong is still in Hengdian... Yanyan, who admires him, and Lanlan, who always wants to treat him to a meal, are also in Hengdian.

To Yang Che's surprise, Lei Lei—oops, Hao Lei—arrived at the company in the afternoon.
