Chapter 431 Put the Magazine Online

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

In any case, these two phone calls seemed to prove that it was not so urgent to launch a 'rebellion'. Song Ya devoted her energy to business besides preparing for the exam.

"Dilai, has there been any response from Quanmusic?" Once Taraji left, he had to make many calls himself, which was very unaccustomed to him.

"The founder of All Music, Elle Wayne, and the editor-in-chief, Miller Freeman, had no intention of introducing new investors, and they very simply refused." Delay replied.

"Didn't you say last time that they need money to migrate their services from Gopher to the World Wide Web?" Song Ya asked.

"But they don't want to take your money. Elle Wayne, Bob Dylan, and Iggy have been friends for many years. He has no shortage of financing channels in the music industry. The position of the whole music is also inclined to rock music, and it is not friendly to hip-hop music. And because they provide online lyrics, they value the level of lyrics more than the melody, so NAS is rated higher by them than you, street poets or something."

Delay said: "Give up on APLUS. If you have the money, you might as well start your own music website. I heard it's not expensive. The World Wide Web hasn't started charging like Gopher."

"Do it yourself?"

"Yes, do it yourself, it's very simple, I understand it." Delay said.

"Can website projects get land in Silicon Valley?" Now the general trend on the Internet is to support free and shared things. Don't think about making money. Song Ya immediately thought of Riise who has been persuading herself to get land in Silicon Valley in the name of the project. thing.

"I'm not sure about that, you can ask Reese." Delay replied.

Before calling Riise, he called two technical nerds in the company, "How's the UIUC WWW client going?"

"It's already online, and the response is very hot! Can your computer work?"

Andrew and Henry excitedly helped him download and open the Mosaic client, and then typed a series of URLs, "Look, many universities have already set up their own websites."

"Yeah?"

Song Ya used it casually, and the familiar feeling came back, "Have you told that programmer about my investment? That undergraduate named Mark Anderson."

"He refused. He said he wanted to wait until he graduated at the end of the year to make a decision. Now everything in Mosaic belongs to UIUC. If he accepts investment privately, he will definitely not be able to graduate smoothly."

"Bill Gates and Jobs dropped out of school to create Microsoft and Apple." Song Ya said.

"They didn't drop out with half a year left to graduate." Henry smiled, "And how do you make money on something like Mosaic? The World Wide Web itself is free, it's not like MS-DOS and Windows. The software sold in copies is not a hardware device like an Apple computer."

"Okay, I see, I'll think about it again."

Only then did Song Ya call Riise, and after asking whether the Internet company's project could successfully get the land in Sunnyvale, he called Delay again.

"Putting content from American Music Magazine online? Good idea, but..."

He thought about Delay's suggestion carefully, "I only own 51% of that magazine, half and half with Rick Rubin. I don't want to share this business with him."

"There's always a way around him, right?" DeLay asked.

"Let me ask." He called Samuel again.

"You can obtain the distribution authorization of this magazine content on the Internet through a content intermediary, sign a long-term contract and everything will be OK." Samuel gave professional advice, "Then use this intermediary to take the project to Silicon Valley gets land."

"Do you think you can make money? By hoarding land?" Song Ya asked.

"It should be no problem. Some people have already done this. Many manufacturers package their products and technology and information technology into high-tech or information technology products, and then enter the Bay Area and Silicon Valley under various names." Samuel said.

"Then do it!"

Just do what you say, since Delay's idea came out,

Then let him taste the sweetness, he asked Delay to make a budget, and then called Rick Rubin.

"Hey, Rick."

"APLUS, I haven't contacted you for a long time, how is it? Is school life boring?"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, "Rick, what do you think of my A+ Audio company wanting to put the content of American Music Magazine on the World Wide Web?"

"Is this a business?" Rick Rubin asked.

"Yes, the money is not much, but it will allow us to pay less." Song Ya flickered.

"How many?"

"About a hundred thousand dollars a year."

"What is this money enough for..." Rick Rubin said: "Will it affect the sales of magazines?"

"No, the content of the website will be released after a long delay."

"Well, that's an income, isn't it?" Rick Rubin was nonchalant about it, "but I'll ask acquaintances first."

"who?"

"Littleman."

"Oh how come I heard that name again, come on Rick, I don't want to deal with Littman in my life anymore, he made a lot of money selling our magazines, and now we are losing money every year Million, are you really willing to continue to trust him?"

"Haha, well, then you can be the master, anyway, the magazine is controlled by you."

"Then we're done?"

"That's a deal."

After it was done, Song Ya called Shirley Fleming again. This old lady who was more out of touch with the ever-changing society and development was better at fooling around. After confirming that it would not affect sales, she agreed without thinking much.

"So what... the website can record all the past issues of the American Music Magazine there? Can you find everything from a hundred years ago?" The old lady is concerned about this, "Like a museum?"

"Yes, how is it? My idea is not bad, right? After everything is done, others will be able to freely refer to the articles you published decades ago." Song Ya said.

"Okay, when will I come to do the collection work, I have stored all the previous magazines in the warehouse, and there are quite a few copies."

"I will as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Song Ya asked De Lai to use the expected income of the copyright library and DTS equity as collateral, and loaned out 10 million. In addition to acquiring land in Silicon Valley, he will also acquire several small synthetic sound copyright libraries to increase the market share of A+ audio. Back to seven percent, or even a little higher, around eight percent.

"APLUS!"

Just after finishing this matter, he received a call from Motura during class, and the furious caller directly asked, "You helped Mimi change all the bodyguards!?"

"It's not appropriate to change. She just asked the bodyguards arranged by the company to go back to her post. Mr. Motura, she felt that those bodyguards treated her like a prisoner, and she needed a more personal bodyguard." Song Ya replied: " So I said hello to the CNA insurance company that I have cooperated with for a long time."

"Those people are APLUS arranged by me, I am very upset that you did this!"

Motura said: "I know you are good friends, but you can't meet her demands without limit!"

"satisfy……"

Song Ya coughed twice, "Sorry, Mr. Motura, I know you also have good intentions, but her bodyguards are really too much, she is a star, not a prisoner."

"Okay, okay, I'm busy now, I'll take care of you when I get back to New York!"

"Wait, Mr. Motura, what are you up to? I heard you're at Neverland? Is it MJ's tour?"

"Why are you asking about this?"

"Uh, I will go to South Africa during the summer vacation. I wonder if MJ has any similar plans? Let's do some charity together..."

"Stop dreaming!"
