At a golf course in Shanghai.
A middle-aged man with a beer belly swung the ball away.
He was Pang Yuan, the boss of Nine Cool Music. Nine Cool Music had more than 20% of the digital music market and was considered one of the established music platforms.
He looked at the small ball that was far away and said with a smile,"CEO Ma, I think it's time to lay out the music copyright. That Chairman Ye from YY Culture has given us a good start.”
President Ma was a refined middle-aged man. He was the chairman of Yuexun Music, which occupied 32% of the digital music market in the country.
President Ma watched as the ball flew away and curled his lips."What's the use of buying so many copyrights? As long as our online platform is still stable, we can turn all his hard work into ashes. How dare you take my music online platform to court and ask for compensation of one billion yuan? Truly ignorant! I have the money to drag the lawsuit with him. Let's see who can afford it?!”
The beer-bellied Pang Yuan waved his hand to dismiss the ball boy behind him. He smiled and said,""Ye Dong did the right thing. Now that the media is overwhelmingly supporting intellectual property protection, we have no room for resistance. Instead of resisting, it was better to turn around and board the big ship of intellectual property protection.
We can also become protectors of intellectual property. Anyway, the three of us are the only ones who dominate the entire country on the online broadcasting platform. After the implementation of the fee system, we don't have to worry about no one paying.”
The top three music platforms, ThousandTune, Yuexun, and Jiuku, occupied 80% of the digital music market.
"No!"
President Ma waved the cue stick in his hand in exasperation."You want me to pay one billion just for some music copyright?
My online music platform has not even earned a billion yuan in advertising fees.
Unless that Ye guy rescinds the compensation conditions, I'll stick to the pirated version until the end. Let's see what he can do to me!
Wasn't it just a lawsuit?
I'll accompany you to the end!"
Although Boss Ma said that he was powerful, his heart was beating rapidly. The court wouldn't really award one billion yuan in compensation, right?
That would be a huge loss.
The beer belly patiently advised,"Boss Ma, don't get angry. We still need to put pressure on this matter together."
That Ye guy only had the copyright and didn't have an online platform.
The three of us, together with Old Master Xiao, occupy most of the digital music platform. If we work together to put pressure on him, we might be able to force him to withdraw his claim and let us play the genuine music.”
Pang Yuan, who had a beer belly, saw Ye Xuan's weakness of not having an online broadcasting platform and wanted to join hands with Boss Ma to put pressure on him.
Not only did he want the legal team to withdraw the compensation lawsuit, but he also wanted to enjoy the copyright of the music for free.
He had made full use of the monopoly advantage of the broadcasting platform.
As far as he knew, as long as there were three monopolistic competitors, there was basically no place for musicians to talk to the copyright owners.
No matter how awesome the music was, without a platform to display it, it would still be a pile of trash.
The fragrance of wine was afraid of the deep alley.
The principles passed down from ancient times to the present were quite useful.
"Alright, then let's ask Elder Xiao and the others out to talk about the pressure.”
……
In the evening, it was still the Xianglan Sea Club. The luxurious private room was silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Elder Xiao.
Elder Xiao was the founder of the music app. His music app. was probably the earliest music platform in the country.
All these years, it had been controlling more than 30% of the market share.
"Elder Xiao, say something. We can't afford to delay any longer!”
Boss Ma looked anxious and frowned. Everyone looked at him. Even during the financial crisis a few years ago, they had never seen Boss Ma so anxious.
Everyone wanted to use the money they had earned over the past few years to drag down YY Entertainment, but now it seemed that Ye Xuan had no intention of stopping the acquisition of the copyright.
Moreover, he had even reached into the film and television industry!
What made them even more nervous was that Ye Xuan's YY Entertainment was already building a music platform.
Waving a lot of money to dig out technical talents from major internet companies, the market was only so big. Ye Xuan wanted to step in and share the cake, so they naturally wouldn't agree.
"Elder Xiao, the people from YY Entertainment have been acting like mad dogs these days. I've already received several letters from lawyers. Those original singers also want to appeal. Elder Xiao, you have to think of a way as soon as possible!”
"Yours is still considered good. Old Xiao has already been arrested. I'm also preparing to immigrate these two days!”
" That Ye Xuan came prepared. We can't afford to delay it. Moreover, there are many reports on the copyright issue on the Internet, and it has already attracted the attention of the relevant parties…"
"Elder Xiao, Ye Xuan wants to monopolize this cake. We can't just wait for death. I've also instructed my subordinates to start buying the copyright!”
Everyone discussed animatedly, and the noise spread in an instant. However, Elder Xiao, who was sitting in the main seat, did not say a word. His face was filled with worry. He did not expect Ye Xuan to move so quickly.
"Right now, YY Entertainment has already acquired more than 50% of the copyrights on the market. We…are already a big step behind them!”
Elder Xiao put down the teacup in his hand, his tone filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
Everyone present was a big shot in the music industry and controlled 70% of the music platforms on the Internet.
After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, which one of them wasn't a shrewd old fox?
One step slower and the whole game would be lost!
They had underestimated Ye Xuan's YY Entertainment company in the beginning and had been so passive due to their carelessness. By the time they reacted, Ye Xuan had already occupied more than half of the copyright market.
