Chapter 401 When everyone is a viin, there will be no viins in the world


    Well, although Rnd Allen kept saying that Michael Jackson''s shareholding in Sony/ATV and the resulting battle made the Sony music industry unattractive, but if you jump out of the field of music, from Rnd- Judging from the industrial structure owned by Allen, the value of Sony Music is actually greater than that of Quam and Juchang, because the existence of those copyrights can create a solid moat for Rnd Allen''s other industries.


    no way!


    Who made music the root of the rise of most Inte or technologypanies?


    In China, the search enginepany actually beat allpetitors with music.


    In 2001 and 2001, Du Niang was only a servicepany that provided search services for SOHU and SINA. When they analyzed user behavior and found that most users were interested in music, they searched for MP3. Special optimization has been done. Due to the urate search and free content, it is very popr and sought after by the public as soon as it is updated.


    In that year alone, Du Niang’s traffic surged by more than 30%.


    If it''s just these, it can''t actually reflect the awesomeness of music.


    Because at this time, Du Niang was only doing searches.


    And after tasting the sweetness, they made their own pirated hotlinks.


    In 2003, Du Niang''s MP3 service was officiallyunched, and when they threw off their sleeves to do it themselves, this service brought them a traffic increase of more than 50%, because for consumers, this The service is simply not too easy to use!


    In the past, when users searched for music on Du Niang, all the websites that popped up were websites like ''DJ Dance Music Network''.


    Although music can also be found, it can only be said to be rtively convenient to use.


    But now, when users search for music on Du Niang, the main column of Du Niang MP3 pops up. Users don''t have to visit other websites as before to filter the content they want. Download the songs you want through Du Niang, and when this one-stop service appears...


    Du Niang exploded!


    Before 2005, Google''s market pration rate wasparable to Du Niang''s, but after 2005, Du Niang''s MP3 search and download service reached 72%, and then it skyrocketed, reaching as high as 100% at its peak. 85/85.


    Countless young people who have juste into contact with the Inte have boarded Du Niang, a free tform under the guidance of information technology teachers, making it an instant monopoly in the search engine industry. This explosive growth has made people see the value of music, and Also at the same time, Du Niang became the world''srgest pirated music website in the eyes of Westerners.


    Because of this, the world''s seven famous recordpanies, including Sony, Universal, Warner, and EMI, jointly sued Du Niang in order to protect their own interests. However, due to someplicated and unspeakable reasons, Du Niang From the beginning, she kept winning thewsuits. It was not until the most stringent copyright order in the history of the streaming music industry in 2015 that Du Niang began to pay copyright fees.


    Unfortunately, at this time, things like music are no longer important to Du Niang.


    Because of the monopoly of the Du Niang search engine, it has been established in the past twelve years of piracy and hotlinking.


    Of course, the sess of this kind of indulgence in piracy cannot be replicated, and the reason why Rnd Allen needs Sony Music is not to attract Google, the guy who can lie on Yahoo and MSN, but to hope that these copyrights can give Apple''s hematopoiesis allows iPod and iTunes to monopolize the global portable media yer device market and digital music market.


    Since the end of the twentieth century, North America and Europe had already begun to establish a digital music copyright protection system, so the rtive perfection of thew allowed a sound payment environment to be born. In this environment, when Rnd Allen got Sony Music, Otherpanies that want topete with iPod and iTunes can only go through bankruptcy and death, because Rnd Allen, who owns Sony Music, can only authorize Apple and ignore the desire of otherpanies.


    That is to say, when the wind of genuine editions prevailed, Sony Music controlled by Rnd Allen only granted digital copyrights to Apple. In this case, non-iPod and iTunes users could not enjoy the Beatles, Songs such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, etc. Although this approach will sharply reduce the copyright ie of Sony Music, it can also greatly stimte the choice of users. When people find that, in addition to Apple, other portable audio When yers and music software areme guys, then the traffic will naturally continue to converge towards Apple.


    In this way, the market share of otherpanies will naturally decline year after year.


    When the operating ie of thesepanies cannot support thepany''s R&D expenses and copyright expenditures, then the two paths that appear in front of them are very clear, or they do not buy copyrights, let their products give up encryption, and adapt to all pirated music , just do the pirated business, or leave the market sadly, dering his failure.


    If it is the former, then the sue is over!


    What Dutch Philips? South Korea''s Samsung? Just hold the muzzle and press them into the soil!


    We can’t control where the copyright protectionw is not perfect, there is really no way, but where the copyright protectionw is implemented, if you support piracy, it will not be as simple as cutting your flesh and blood, but sending you directly to hell!


    If it''s thetter, it''s even easier!


    Subdue without fighting!


    With the death of thesepanies one after another, the tens of billions of market belonging to portable audio yback devices and digital music can be easily captured by Apple, forming a de facto industry monopoly.


    And in order to capture such a market, what does Rnd Allen need to pay?


    It is nothing more than one billion to buy Sony Music, and then spend another two to four billion to make it the number one in the world!


    At least 3 billion, at most 5 billion, can be exchanged for the monopoly of two industries!


    Using billions of investments to build an indestructible moat for Apple, isn’t this kind of business worthwhile?


    As for whether otherpanies can follow suit?


    This is no joke.


    Who does Warner Music belong to?


    Harry Potter and DC superhero movies?


    Who owns Universal Music?


    Can "X-Men" be done?


    Don’t talk about whether portable audio equipment manufacturers such as Philips and Samsung can buy these musicpanies from Time Warner and Vivendi, they are exclusive licenses, and they are impossible to buy!


    joke!


    Really think that he is a courtesan for nothing?


    In this way, even if Rnd Allen thinks that Sony Music with Michael Jackson is a negative equity, he can actually bear it. It is indeed not worthwhile to invest in music, but the tform monopoly is really good!


    The point is that even though MP3 and MP4 will eventually be eliminated by history, the monopoly brought about by the king of content can still continue to iOS and Android, and the voting rights of the shares held by him cannot exceed 67% Under such circumstances, using content to choke the necks of these giants, isn''t it the only way to control thepany?


    And the resistance he''s showing now?


    Isn''t it just to get more wool from the giant''s body!


    If he doesn''t speak up, where will ATi develop?


    If ATi does not develop, how can Nvidia have a financial crisis?


    Nvidia does not have a financial crisis, how can he buy the bottom?


    "Then these things are settled first?" Rnd asked.


    When everyone reached a consensus, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly rxed a lot.


    "Of course, the next step is to wait patiently." Bill Gates nodded, and the bright future made him smile.


    "When are you going to do it?" Michael Dell couldn''t wait, because Compaq was killed by them.


    "That''s hard to say." Warren Buffett shrugged.


    At the same time, Steven Spielberg also responded, "Yeah, the time is hard to tell.


    In 1979, the Soviet Union also sent troops to attack Afghanistan. At first they wanted to wipe out those guys in a month, but everyone knows that this warsted for ten years, and finally ended in the defeat of the Soviet Union. end.


    The ten-year war caused the cumtive casualties of the Soviet Union to exceed 50,000, costing 45 billion rubles, and directly changed their global strategy, leading to a major disintegration in 1991.


    Under such circumstances, if we do not win Afghanistan within a month, there is a high probability that we will follow the old path of the Soviet Union. If there is a stalemate, then the public opinion can be manipted and the me can be thrown away, and killing Sony to supplement military spending can not only relieve the pressure, but also alleviate the financial problem. "


    Rnd loved to hear such unkind words, but after the old man finished expressing his views, another curiosity actually arose in his heart, "Steven? Do you think we can''t defeat Afghanistan?"


    However, as soon as these words came out, the scene was full ofughter.


    Steve Jobs said, "Rnd."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Actually, you just need to do some economic calctions."


    "Economic ounts?"


    "Yes! Economic ounts." Steve Jobs nodded and said, "What do we have in Afghanistan? What do we have?


    We went to Afghanistan and fired a 10,000-dor rocket at them. What could it blow up?


    A fifty-dor tent, or a cave dug out with a ten-dor shovel?


    We shoot a guided missile worth 100,000 yuan at them, what can we destroy?


    Is it a building worth 10,000 yuan, or an armory worth 20,000 yuan?


    Our bullets were indeed fifty cents apiece, but after they were shipped to Afghanistan, the price per bullet tripled!


    We transported a tank back. If there is a situation where it needs to be returned to the factory for maintenance, it might as well be scrapped on the spot!


    Because it is cheaper to build new!


    And in this case, how to fight this battle?


    There is no way to fight at all!


    Although we have the ability to tten Afghanistan, who in the countries around Afghanistan will watch our soldiers carry out massacre ns? Or, who do you think will watch us plow them into scorched earth with Militia 3?


    No one can sit still!


    If you do this, there is no way!


    The victory or defeat of modern warfare is not determined by whether we can destroy anyone, but whether we can gain something from the enemy.


    We won''t gain anything by attacking Afghanistan, so...


    Then someone must be responsible for this war!


    Judging from the current situation, Sony will definitely not be able to escape! "


    Whoops!


    Rnd really wanted to apud Steve Jobs.


    No way, who made this economic perspective so powerful?


    The reason why the war in Afghanistan left the United States in a mess, and finally had to leave in despair, isn''t that because the rewards are not worth the effort? When the seniormanders of the US military did not know the specific banner of terrorist organization, the trantors of the US military garrison did not understand the Afghan tribalnguage, and the contractors of USpanies did not know what projects they had in Afghanistan...


    Failure, isn''t it an obvious thing?


    Not to mention, the bear above is still staring at it!


    So, this may be the reason why Wang Wang didn''t dere war for four years!


    Because, only when you are a yboy, you know that daily necessities are expensive!


    As a guy who always picks and counts tickets for a long time when donating, that is the person who understands war better than Sleepy Bai!


    It''s a pity that this ordion master can''t continue to tell the world stand-upedy for four years...


    Why…


    And when everything was finalized, the five people who came to visit also got up and said goodbye.


    At the beginning, Rnd didn''t know why these guys came and went in such a hurry, but after Bill Gates told him that Microsoft would release the new system Windows XP on October 25th, and he had to go back and keep an eye on the project, Rnd It is also relieved, as the most sessful system in the history of Windows, its existence is indeed more important than the game console market.


    And when Steve Jobs told him that the iPodunch event would be held on October 23rd, and he had to rush back to stare at the project, Rnd threw him into the Mariana Trench when he pulled the other party''s mind to eat .


    No way, who made the iPod the product that could change Apple''s life?


    Like that Apple M1 chip twenty yearster.


    For Intel, this kind of cross-border breakthrough is really because young people don''t talk about martial arts, and rat tail juice!


    "That''s fine, next time we have a chance to make an appointment..."


    "Slow down! Just call me if you have anything to do!"


    When Rnd stood at the door and watched the eight cars speeding away, he was filled with emotion at the figure that was fading away.


    He thought it would be very difficult to break up Sony, but now...


    The capital eager for profit gathered up by itself!


    He thought that breaking up Sony would make him condemned by the outside world, but now...


    How can conscience be profitable?


    "It''s really a group of realistic people!"


    "Everyone gathers for profit, everyone travels for profit, everyone struggles for profit, and everyone sticks together for profit..."


    "Although it is ruthless, it is transparent!"


    Sighing at the same time, Rnd was also physically and mentallyfortable.


    Since everyone is a viin, there will be no viins in this world.


    However, just as Rnd put his hands in his pockets and was about to walk back leisurely, just as he turned around, the person who was standing at the door of the house and had been watching him made Rnd''s smile froze on his face.


    Because Kate''s eyes are full of doubts...


    and puzzled.


    Note: ①Du Niang expanded wildly through piracy and hotlinking and was jointly sued by the world''s seven major recordpanies since 2005. However, ording to the "Regtions on the Protection of Information Network Communication Rights" at that time, what Du Niang did, It''s actually not illegal. Because the regtions at the time clearly stated that ‘if awork service provider provides search and link services, if it immediately disconnects the link to the infringing work after receiving the notice from the right holder, it will not be liable forpensation’. The actual operation is that if you sue me for breaking thew, then I will disconnect the server one second, and connect it the next second. At most, I will be warned one by one, and there will be no punishment, and the next time I sue, I will be disconnected, connected and warned. Isn''t it ridiculous? But the situation is like this, and Sony, Universal, Warner, and EMI also found it incredible at the time. ②The article says that sleepy worship does not understand war, which is actually a stalk. When Ao Guanhai was the president and Sleepy Bai was the vice president, Sleepy Bai visited Afghanistan twice, and then taught Afghan President Karzai to be like his grandson. The funniest thing is that Karzai hoped that the United States could regard Afghanistan as a sovereign country like Japan and South Korea, but Sleepy Bai publicly stated that Afghanistan had the same status as Japan and South Korea at that time. And what was the status of Afghanistan at that time? The U.S. military sweeps the streets when they are interested, has unlimited immunity, and participates in the change of the Afghan government. If this treatment is the same as that of Japan and South Korea, does it mean that Sleepy Bai publicly stated that Japan and South Korea have been managed by the United States all these years?
