July 18th, Friday, 8:16 AM.
Lu Ming's roommate, Li Wenzhi, brought more than 30 veterans to Lin Sen's company.
When Lin Sen heard the news, he quickly came out with Lu Ming, Zhou Dong, and the others to welcome them.
After he came back last night, he suddenly had the idea of going to Lu Ming to inquire about Li Wenzhi's identity, but he was shocked.
Then, Lin Sen was even more puzzled. Since cousin Lu Ming had such a powerful roommate and had a good relationship with him, why did he stay in this small city in his previous life and not even get a civil servant?
However, when Lin Sen returned to his room and thought about his two lifetimes, he roughly understood.
In her previous life, Zhou Dong and Lu Hai were still very good friends during this summer vacation. They talked about almost everything and would laugh and play together when they were free.
Lu Hai was still fine after they entered university. Generally, the situation of second-tier universities was not much better than that of junior colleges. However, Zhou Dong was different. The difference between a first-tier university and a junior college was too great. The teachers, classmates, environment, and so on were different. As a result, the topics that Lin Sen could talk about with him became less and less, and they gradually stopped interacting.
What about this life? When the two of them found out that they had earned hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, their attitudes changed again and again. Although they would still joke with each other, there would no longer be any fights or scolding.
That was why Lu Ming and Li Wenzhi had a good relationship when they were in university because they played Dota together. However, in society, one had to live carefully and make friends with small figures. One lived a free and casual life, and the people around him were all big shots.
"Lu Ming, I've brought the people here for you. They've all experienced the battlefield and have been discharged from the army for less than a year. How was it? Isn't that nice?" Upon seeing Lu Ming, Li Wenzhi went up and gave him a punch on the shoulder as he said happily.
"That's interesting. But Brother Zhi, if you ask me to play Dota again, can you not be so scammed?”Lu Ming teased with a smile.
"Ahem. Surprise, surprise. Who asked you to suddenly become so powerful? You made me look like a retard.”Speaking of games, Li Wenzhi felt a little embarrassed.
"I have quite a few gaming gods by my side. Under their guidance, of course I will become stronger. Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Come, let me introduce you. This is my brother, Lin Sen, the boss of this company.”Lu Ming interrupted the chat and introduced Lin Sen to Li Wenzhi.
"Hello, Brother Zhi." Lin Sen, who was smiling as he watched the two of them chat, quickly came up to greet them.
"Hello. Since you're Lu Ming's younger brother, I won't be polite with you. Let's get down to business first.”Li Wenzhi said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Zhi, please come in. I've already prepared the contract. A basic salary of 5,000 yuan per person per month, five insurances, one fund, and a bonus. What do you think?" Lin Sen asked as he led everyone in.
"Well, if you're in Jia City, this salary is enough.”Li Wenzhi nodded in agreement.
Since the person with the highest status had agreed, the 36 veterans naturally had no objections. They all signed their names on the contract.
Seeing that the matter was over, Li Wenzhi grabbed Lu Ming and said,""Let's go and play a few rounds. After a while, I won't have anything to play with.”
"Sure. But let's not play Dota anymore. Let's play LOL instead? Anyway, you're just a big pit. It's the same no matter what you play. And my current job requires me to understand this game.”Lu Ming said.
"No problem. I've played LOL a few times, but I always argue with my teammates. So I'm not in the mood to play anymore."
"Think about your identity. It's just a game. Is there a need to argue with them?”Lu Ming was speechless.
"Why not? Although I'm a noob, do they have the right to scold me? Fortunately, my temper has improved. Otherwise, I would have found them and beaten them up.”Li Wenzhi expressed that he would definitely not indulge these people.
……
Ignoring Li Wenzhi, who was a top-notch fourth-generation red who was very different from what Lin Sen had imagined, he began to check the talents of the thirty-six people in front of him.
Not bad. Eleven of them had more than 80 points of talent. There were three in cooking, one in music, and seven in gaming.
According to their talents, Lin Sen began to make arrangements. The three talented chefs followed Song Liping and helped her buy vegetables and cook. The one with the highest musical talent went to look after the recording studio. Those who were talented in gaming stayed in the two buildings to help out. The others began to look after the entire factory.
After arranging these people's work, Lin Sen was a little idle again. He could not help but sit in front of the computer and look for interesting live broadcast rooms.
"Boss, someone from Yiyun Music privately messaged me on Weibo. They said that they want to buy the rights to broadcast 'Bubbles' online and want to officially release this song on their platform.”Lin Su came over and said happily.
"Did they say what the price was?”
"No, I haven't. In their private chat, they said that if we have this intention, we can call them to communicate.”
"Yes, I am. However, my brother is not free right now. It seems that I have to personally negotiate with them about the price of the authorization.”Lin Sen smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll go back to my room and send you that person's phone number. You can talk to him.”Lin Su asked.
"Sure."
Now, the digital music industry in this world had gone through a bumpy development process. After two years of copyright protection, it finally became more perfect. All the major platforms had similar charging standards.
As long as the person who uploaded the song set a price, the song would only be available for 40 seconds of free listening. If you were a member of this platform, you would have 60 seconds of listening time.
Perhaps some people would think that it was a good idea to let them listen for 40 seconds for free.
But in fact, this was even more infuriating than not letting you hear it.
After listening to 40 seconds, most of the songs were not even finished with the verse. The chorus that most people liked to listen to was not played at all. The feeling of not being able to go up or down was like suddenly stopping when it was about to come to an end...
Especially for some good songs of high quality. It was not a big deal to not let them listen to them. Anyway, he did not know if they were good or not, so he did not have any thoughts about them.
For some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, not letting them listen to it was worse than letting them die. They were so anxious that they could not stand it.
Want to hear it? What should he do? He clicked on the option to buy a single!
Of course, the price was still set by themselves, as long as you did not exceed the relevant national regulations. This regulation only limited the highest price, not the lowest price.
As long as the price was set at 1 yuan, no song would perform well. When many people saw this price, their subconscious reaction was that it was cheap and not good. They were not even willing to listen to it.
Of course, other than the expenses related to musicians, there were also expenses related to platforms. That was to open a membership.
Most platforms generally cost 10 yuan for a user to open a monthly membership. After the membership was opened, the time to listen to songs this month was reduced to 60 seconds. There was also unlimited access to all MVs, the ability to create song lists, and other privileges.
Or, they could spend around 110 yuan to open an annual membership. This type of user would have other benefits, such as being able to buy tickets to concerts or fan clubs that celebrities sent to the platform.
Even though it was a competitive relationship between peers, everyone was working hard to maintain the balance of the market. If you suddenly raised the price by a large margin, it would affect the balance of the market and you would suffer a joint attack from other platforms.
Therefore, these platforms could only use other methods to attract users. For example, they could invite a celebrity to record a short video and post it on the platform, but only members could watch it. For example, he could offer exclusive license contracts to attract more users to spend on his platform.
"Boss, Cool Cat and Pain Information Music have also contacted me. They want the exclusive rights to my songs and said that there will be all kinds of benefits after the authorization.”Lin Su continued.
"Give me the phone numbers of these two people. I'll talk to the three families together later.”
"Alright."
