Anne used her account privileges to access an online music website, and Xiang Peisi walked over with some skepticism.
Upon seeing the website's interface, Xiang Peisi and the music director were both stunned.
The interface is predominantly red, and the windows on both sides include: Personal Center, Favorite Playlists, Upload Audio, Leaderboard, Music Plaza, Customer Service Center, etc.
At the very center of the interface are several old songs without copyright.
After clicking on it, you'll see information about the singer and the song's origin.
He noticed that the website also has features such as keyword search, single-track loop, and music playback scene selection.
"Did Longteng Company make this?" Xiang Peisi couldn't believe it.
A North American media company previously imitated ICQ's online audio playback function by launching an online music library on its official website, but it only had functions such as selection, playback, stop, and search.
Even with such rudimentary functionality, their company's technicians complained endlessly, saying they lacked decoding technology and had to seek external assistance, eventually purchasing ready-made decoding chips from a technology company.
The technology to convert records and tapes into digital format is already quite mature, but maturity is one thing, and perfect decoding is another.
You only know where the difficulties lie when you actually start doing it.
Turn on the music player, and melodious singing comes from the computer.
"Scarborough Fair" is a very old folk song, and it is difficult for them to reproduce it on a record with such sound quality.
The music director has a very sensitive ear; he can hear even the slightest flaw in the sound.
However, once I pressed play, the music played smoothly without any flaws.
Clearly, Dragon Audio used the most advanced decoding technology to convert the audio of traditional records into digital audio, which was a major technical challenge.
After listening to the song, Xiang Peisi's expression was complicated.
"Can I upload music here?" Xiang Peisi asked.
The smoothness of audio can also be faked by other means. Xiang Peisi thought that by uploading his own audio, he could determine whether the website's decoding technology was genuine.
Anne replied, "Of course."
Next, Xiang Peisi tried uploading his company's audio to the remote operation center, and soon he saw the selection bar in his personal center.
When I pressed play, the audio played smoothly without any crackling or stuttering.
“This website has an online repair function. If there are minor flaws in the audio, the website will automatically repair it before playing it,” Anne explained. “How about it, Mr. Schumpeter?”
After witnessing the online music website, Xiang Peisi was completely convinced, saying, "It's a masterpiece of genius."
“The online music website uses a 1:1 pricing model. The media company provides the copyrights, and Longteng Company is responsible for the operation,” Annie seized the opportunity and continued, “Registering as a member allows you to listen to songs for free, but you can’t download them. If you want to download, it costs two dollars per song.”
"The paid model for online music is in line with the current copyright trend and also responds to your company's advocacy of respecting copyright."
Anne cautioned, "What we're doing is a project with limited copyright across all platforms."
"Future collaborations will include not only North American music media companies, but also comprehensive arts media companies, as well as other record companies in Europe."
"So even if North American music media doesn't cooperate with us, we have other options."
The music director was stunned. He hadn't expected DragonPlay to have such grand ambitions, wanting to take over the online digital music market in the US and Europe.
"What benefits do we get if we're the first media company to join?" the music director asked.
Anne thought for a moment and then took out the prepared contract. "We will hire the best technicians to transcribe your company's records. Your company's music on the website will definitely have the best sound quality."
"Regarding your company's digital audio, we promise that your company's songs will be pushed out for free within three months of the website's launch."
The terms are attractive, and the website's cooperation model is also appealing.
Xiang Peisi took the contract and signed his name on it.
By acquiring the largest media company in North America, she has secured the largest copyright holder position for online music websites.
Anne happily took the contract back to the company.
"Welcome, great hero!" Seeing her happy expression, Lin Zhiyuan had already guessed that she had completed the mission perfectly.
"Thank you! With great power comes great responsibility!"
While dealing with Lin Zhiyuan, Annie walked into Chen Dong's office.
Seeing Xiang Feng there, Annie's smile vanished, and she instantly became serious. "President Chen, I've got the contract."
Xiang Feng witnessed the entire process of Annie's change of expression and was naturally dissatisfied. "Annie, do you have a problem with me? Why do you have such a sad face every time you see me?"
“How could I dare?” Anne said deliberately. “Oh dear, the two months are almost up. Whether or not Asia Travel Capital should withdraw its investment from the Amazon project is a difficult question. Supervisor, you’ll have to make a good judgment.”
"This girl really knows how to stomp on things that hurt," Xiang Feng muttered.
Chen Dong didn't have time to watch the two of them joking around. He carefully reviewed the terms of the contract, which were exactly the same as the original version, without any modifications. This meant that the other company had fully accepted Longteng's contract terms.
"Has Xiang Peisi agreed to open up their music library?" Chen Dong asked.
Anne smiled smugly, "I'd love to!"
"Doesn't he have any concerns about our company at all?"
Chen Dong understood that the iPod had caused them losses, and he had long been prepared for Annie to be kicked out of the North American media company, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly.
“Actually…” Anne’s smug face slowly wrinkled, “it’s because I was at their company, using a remote control center, that I let Xiang Peisi see our website.”
Chen Dong's face darkened, and his smile froze. "This is a website that is still in the debugging stage."
"Have you ever considered that if Xiang Peisi looks at our website and doesn't sign a contract, he'll just turn around and have his technicians make a one-to-one replica?"
Actually, the moment Annie opened the website, she was already prepared to be reprimanded, but she did take a risk at the time.
"I was wrong, I won't do it again," Annie said pitifully.
Xiang Feng had always liked Annie and couldn't bear to see her suffer. Seeing that Chen Dong didn't react, he said something nice, "Hasn't the contract already been signed?"
Chen Dong sighed deeply, "Oh well, we've already got the contract anyway."
“North American Music Media Company is a leader in the media industry. Securing Xiang Peisi’s contract is no small matter. I’ll forgive you this time, but remember, don’t do it again next time, understand?”
"knew."
Chen Dong waved his hand, signaling Annie to leave.
