Chapter 1074 Jiang Daier's performance costume

Jiang Daier thinks she is the kind of girl who loves late. Although she pursues many boys, she is still ignorant about sex when she goes to college. She often laughs at Ling Xiaoyan, Lin Bing, Xu Wei and others for her high school girl who has no secret crush on her life.

Ling Xiaoyan and Lin Bing took a plane to Hong Kong last night. At night, the four girls squeezed into a room like they were in college, and excitedly talked about their life in college. In the end, Sun Jingxiang came crazy and drove Ling Xiaoyan, Lin Bing and Xu Wei out of the other rooms to sleep, so as not to keep Jiang Daier in an excited state at the concert the next day.

Even if the spring water excavated is dug, it will be difficult to cover it once the spring is dug. Jiang Daier suddenly realized that the memory of the winter of 1994 was particularly profound. The four people squeezed into the narrow rear compartment, with their hips close to Zhang Ke's thighs through their thin pants. It was almost five years since the memory was still so clear, just like sitting tightly together yesterday, with an indescribable wonderful feeling, just like the feeling of imagining the hands that were holding their chests as the hands of another person.

Jiang Daier knew that she was like a flower that suddenly bloomed that winter, and no longer had a girl who had not yet bloomed. Perhaps the first love was more like a girl's secret love, and more like an indescribable goodwill. After some time, this love may fade away, like a passing cloud. When you think about it, you will feel that she was childish and ridiculous at that time. Perhaps she would unknowingly penetrate into the bone marrow and become a mark that would not be erased in this life.

Memories extend from the winter of 1994. The summer of 1995 is simple and happy, almost passively pushing to become an advertising girl. When they come into contact with Xu Si, Xie Wanqing, Sun Jingxiang, Ye Jianbin, etc., they saw Zhang Ke and Xu Si hugging each other under an umbrella two years ago in the rainy evening in Hong Kong. Some of their impressions and feelings became chaotic. In the past two years, they can do what they want, and they don’t have time to carefully clean up the things hidden in the shadows in their hearts. When they look closely, they seem to have some moss, but it is also green.

When you are with this guy, you will have the idea of ​​expecting to be with him forever. Jiang Daier stared at the moonlight falling on the windowsill, thinking that this guy may already belong to many women, right?

With the excitement of the upcoming concert, recalling every bit of the years, Jiang Daier didn't fall asleep until two o'clock in the morning. When she woke up the next day, she was devoted to the final preparations before the concert, and she didn't have the time to think about anything else.

When tickets are released for concerts, many people line up with small stools or tents the day before. At this time, I heard that scalpers had been sold at seven or eight times the price. Although I have had many live singing experiences, it is the first time for a special large-scale concert. This is almost a sure step for every successful singer to reach the pinnacle.

Before nightfall, Jiang Daier followed Sun Jingxiang, Xu Wei and many staff from the company to prepare for the backstage of the concert site, and Ling Xiaoyan and Lin Bing also came directly to the backstage. They rushed to Hong Kong to witness the success of their good friends. Even if they felt that Jiang Daier's singing was charming, they still felt completely different from ordinary fans. Jiang Daier's father, who came from Huishan, was not very helpful at all, and he squeezed into the backstage to watch others busy here and there, and he felt very happy. He didn't go in front to listen to his daughter's concert until the performance started.

Jiang Daier's mother Li Yueru has been following her daughter around the world over the years, becoming more and more like a professional agent and nanny, and she is quite professional in providing Jiang Daier with her final psychological counseling before the stage.

Jiang Daier took out her mobile phone from her mother's bag from time to time to see the time. The concert was approaching minute by minute, and that guy had not appeared in the background yet. Would he be honestly sitting in the audience and mingling among ordinary fans to watch the concert? Even so, he seemed to have to go to the backstage to say hello first.

"Are you very nervous?" Ling Xiaoyan saw Jiang Daier constantly taking out her phone to see the time.

"It's okay..." Jiang Daier smiled.

The door of the dressing room was opened, Tang Jing and Shengxia leaned in and took a look, and slipped in. Only the two of them made Xiaoyan notice that Jiang Daier's eyes suddenly burst into surprise. Seeing that Tang Jing and Shengxia were just a little dizzy after they came in, they thought to themselves: Are you looking forward to that guy?

"Ah, Sister Dai'er is so dazzling today," Tang Jing said excitedly when she saw that Jiang Dai'er was already on stage, "I'm almost out. Suddenly I received a call. Xiao Jincheng was going to the hotel to discuss things... Let's come here first. Zhang Ke may have to arrive later. He also wrote a note for me to bring to you."

"Uh..." Jiang Daier didn't know what Zhang Ke would write on the note and let his girlfriend bring it to her. She took the note in confusion. She couldn't help laughing and scolded her laughter: "This guy!" Then she no longer cared about this guy being focused on getting on stage.

Ling Xiaoyan turned her head and looked at the note thrown on the makeup table, saying, "Don't wait for me, you guys start first!" She couldn't help laughing. This guy thought it was for supper.

What Xiao Jincheng rushed over to discuss is indeed very important.

In late July, Kumho ended a lawsuit with the American Recording Industry Association in the United States. According to the settlement agreement, Kumho will adopt stricter anti-pirated software encryption technology for the Italians sold in North America. In North America, the IPlayer hardware platform will be strictly bound to the global music online platform.

This will lead to a new contradiction.

In addition to Toshiba and Scooper, which hold stakes in Global Music Online, other manufacturers that have obtained Kumho authorization to produce and sell digital music player hardware in North America are not only limited by financial resources, but also by additional terms with Kumho. They are unable to establish a new online music store platform outside Global Music Online.

Others invested in establishing genuine music download and sales websites, because without the cooperation of the IPlayer hardware platform, they could not compete with the global music online at all. Kumho's absolute holding of global music online is suspected of monopoly in the United States.

Even though Toshiba, Scooper and Kumho are still on their honeymoon period, Kumho's absolute controlling stake in Global Music Online still makes them quite wary.

Some lawsuits can be fought, while some troubles need to be avoided in advance. If you want to take root in the North American market, you must actively adapt to the market and legal environment of the North American region. On the other hand, the concept of the new technology Internet industry has been hotly speculated in the European and American capital markets. After reconciling with the American Recording Industry Association, Zhang Ke decided that Kumho should actively give up its absolute controlling stake in Global Music Online.

Kumho can transfer almost 30% of the equity of Global Music Online.

This part of the equity will not be transferred to Toshiba and Scooper in the first place, so as not to gain greater control over Global Music Online; nor will it be transferred to other hardware manufacturers, so as not to create more competitors for themselves in the IPlayer market.

Amazon, the largest e-commerce website in North America, quoted a price, but Amazon wanted to acquire all the equity of Global Music Online in Kumho. This is of course a condition that Kumho would never accept, and naturally there is no need for in-depth negotiations.

Before Zhang Ke was about to listen to Jiang Daier's solo concert, he received a call from Xiao Jincheng and got the latest news from Xiao Jincheng that Microsoft had just formally proposed to acquire 30% of the equity of Global Music Online, which Jinhu intends to transfer.

"...It's just that Microsoft also requires the IPlayer authorization, and the authorization level must be up to Scooper..."

This was indeed an important sudden incident. Some things were not clear on the phone. Zhang Ke asked Xiao Jincheng to come directly to the hotel and notified Chen Xinsheng, Su Jindong, Ding Huai, Cheng Hanzhang and others to hold a conference call to discuss the matter briefly. He couldn't wait for the concert to start, so he sent someone to drive to send Tang Jing and Shengxia over first.

Microsoft suddenly threw out an olive branch, which surprised and frightened the senior executives of Kumho.

In 1995, Microsoft launched the Windows 95 operating system, which was the best in the DOS system, and quickly occupied the global personal computer market and finally determined Microsoft's dominance in the operating system and commercial tool software fields. At this time, Microsoft's market value had exceeded US$120 billion, and Bill Gates also topped the world's richest list with his shares in Microsoft.

At least in the minds of ordinary people, Microsoft's status and influence are far higher than morality.

Microsoft has sent an olive branch to cooperate with Kumho. The senior executives of Kumho are somewhat flattered. Taking this news back to China for casual hype will definitely cause an important financial event that will cause a sensation between the media and ordinary people.

In addition to surprise, I inevitably have deep concerns, because Microsoft is not a company that will satisfy the market for monopolizing the operating system software.

In recent years, relying on the strategy of bundling sales, Microsoft has penetrated into all aspects of the commercial tool software field and is invincible, so in recent years there has been a saying in the IT software industry: "Never do what Microsoft wants to do."

Of course, Microsoft's ambition is not just expanding into the commercial software field. In 1995, Microsoft launched MSN Online, and in 1996, it co-founded MSNBC with American broadcasting giant NBC to become an online news service provider. In 1997, it acquired hotmail, the most popular email service provider in the United States. This year, it launched MSN Messenger network instant messaging service, and at this time it has become one of the largest comprehensive Internet service providers in the United States.

This time, Microsoft has launched such an olive branch, in addition to entering the online music market, it also requires Kumho to authorize the transfer of digital music player hardware technology, which also means that Microsoft is interested in entering the consumer electronic hardware field.

"If I agree to cooperate with Microsoft, will it be considered to be a way to attract a wolf?" Su Jindong did not hide his concerns during the temporary conference call.

Today, North America is the most important market for Kumho selling IPlayers.

In the field of digital music players, Toshiba attaches more importance to the operation of RB wood and earth market than the North American market.

Although Scooper's business focus is on the European and American markets, Scooper does not have core technologies and relies heavily on the business model created by Kumho that integrates hardware sales and network platforms. At the same time, Scooper's financial scale also determines that Scooper will not pose a real threat to Kumho's position in the North American market in the short term...

At this time, let Microsoft get in. Microsoft will definitely have the strength to threaten Kumho's position in the North American market.

"It doesn't seem reliable to reject Microsoft..." Chen Xinsheng said in a temporary conference call. Due to technical restrictions, the call in the conference call inevitably had a sizzling current noise, which made Chen Xinsheng's voice sound a little noisy.

Everyone has a thorough understanding of the current situation and development trend of the industry, and there is no need for Chen Xinsheng to explain in detail, so they know what Chen Xinsheng wants to express.

Since in order to promote the IPlayer technology, Kumho has quickly broken out from the Japanese MD manufacturer camp, it has widely authorized related product technologies in the global region.

Everything has its pros and cons. The extensive technology authorization allows the DMP-iplayer technology market to rapidly expand and surpass MD. The disadvantages are also obvious. Kumho no longer holds the dominance of technology authorization. Microsoft can bypass Kumho's technology blockade as long as it acquires a company that has previously obtained technology authorization.

In addition, Microsoft can also provide genuine music download services on the Internet service platform where it has determined its dominant position in the industry.

Microsoft copied Kumho's business model easily. Besides, the foundation of global music online is far from being deeply rooted, and it is far from unknown to the impact of Microsoft's confrontation.

With such a big contradiction in front of you, a short conference call cannot make the final decision. An hour's call was held, and North American company representative Kumho decided to contact Microsoft first to find out Microsoft's determination to enter the online music market and DMP digital music player hardware field, and first quote a price that Microsoft cannot accept.

"If Microsoft agrees to pay $900 million, 30% of Global Music Online's equity can be transferred to them immediately. If there are any legacy issues, we will find a way to wipe our butts," Zhang Ke's voice also had a slight echo in the communication channel of the conference call. "If Microsoft thinks that our offer is a bit too high, it doesn't matter. You can sit down and talk slowly..."

After the short telephone conference, Zhang Ke looked at his watch. Jiang Daier's concert had been going on for a while. He didn't continue chatting and spanking with Xiao Jincheng in the hotel, and said to him: "I promised others to go to the concert. Now I can listen to the tail now, and it's not considered a failure. I'll invite you to go there with me."

"The concert is almost over, right?" Xiao Jincheng said, and he got into Zhang Ke's car and rushed to the concert site together. His wife and son also went to the concert, thinking that he rushed over and took them back.

When she got into the car, Xiao Jincheng joked with Zhang Ke: "How would Microsoft feel when he heard our offer?"

The 30% equity of Global Music Online is priced at $900 million. Even if Xiao Jincheng wanted to blackmail Microsoft, he never thought of opening the price so high. He was worried that this random offer might anger Microsoft and allow Microsoft to adopt a confrontational business strategy. That would really create the most threatening competitor for Kumho in the North American market.

"I asked for a lot of prices and paid back the money. Besides, I would rather let Microsoft leave the impression that Kumho is a gentle sheep than make them think that Kumho is a gentle sheep," Zhang Ke had no worries. The strength of widgets is not in the field of consumer electronic hardware. Instead of worrying about Microsoft, it is better to worry that Apple may revitalize with digital music players. In his impression, Microsoft entered the field of consumer electronic hardware in 2001 after 2014, and gradually made some achievements in gaming consoles, digital music players, and digital mobile phones. I didn't expect that Kumho's butterfly wings would blow Microsoft away now.

With the track of history, Microsoft's participation at this time can just suppress the rise of Apple's future. Deep down, Zhang Ke still welcomed Microsoft to join at this time, but this reason cannot be explained to others. He explained to Xiao Jincheng, "If it is a simple online music store, 30% of the equity is certainly not worth so much money; Microsoft also knows in his heart that even if Microsoft wants to copy the business model of hardware sales and Internet music platforms, it may not be very sure of success. If the total sales of IPlayers in North America exceed 50 million pieces, then is the 30% equity of global music stores worth 900 million?"

The total sales of IPlayers in North America exceeded 50 million. Although IPlayer's encryption technology will crack it, in theory, there are nearly 50 million potential paid users of Music Online worldwide.

As the largest e-retailer in North America, Amazon has paid users, which is the largest number of paid users, but Amazon's market value has exceeded US$30 billion.

If you want to say this, Zhang Ke’s offer is not outrageous.

One feature of the new technology wave bubble is that investors focus on future profit expectations, just like Quantum Online expects to wait until 2020 and 2003 before it can reverse the loss-making operation, but it does not prevent Quantum Online from firmly standing above fifteen dollars at this time.

It is not impossible for the total sales of the Italian player in North America to exceed 50 million pieces. As for how many paid users can actually get from Global Music Online, it is really hard to judge at this time.

Even in the United States where copyright protection is tight, there are still a large number of piracy or free resources.

Before this, the total sales of IPlayer in North America had just exceeded 2 million pieces. On the one hand, the encryption software was not strict enough and easy to crack. On the other hand, the Internet free music resources in North America were relatively rich, and the paid users of music online around the world were only 400,000. North American companies estimated that the real paid downloads were far less than one-tenth of the total downloads of IPlayer.

Of course, traditional publishers such as the American Recording Industry Association are indomitable struggle, and the legal environment for copyright protection is becoming more stringent. Free music resources in North America are also rapidly decreasing. Kumho has also promised to adopt stricter encryption restrictions technology and promised to provide relevant technologies to other manufacturers authorized by Kumho Technology for free.

Although this situation has curbed the sales of IPlayer in North America to a certain extent, it has also rapidly increased the number of paid users of global music online - how large the final user base of IPlayer can be, is the key to controversial value of global music websites.

Xiao Jincheng caught the clue of asking for prices all over the world. Although he felt that it was very unlikely that Microsoft would accept this price, their purpose was to hold Microsoft back first.

When I arrived at the concert, the concert was about to end. I parked my car in the parking lot and heard the shouts of fans coming from the venue. The atmosphere was so warm that it was about to lift the roof off.

Zhang Ke couldn't contact Tang Jing, thinking that she and Shengxia might not hear the ringing of their mobile phones in front of the profit-making stage. With bodyguards following, the staff here would also notice their safety and there was nothing to worry about.

The scene was so hot that he couldn't squeeze in to find Tang Jing, so he could only call Xu Wei and asked her to send a staff member to lead them to the backstage before they could talk about it.

Xiao Jincheng likes to join in the fun, sneaks from the side door of the backstage to the front, and the ends are the end, and at least he can listen to a few songs.

During dinner yesterday, Zhang Ke swears that he would come over to cheer for Jiang Daier. Unexpectedly, he delayed the matter until now. He waited for Jiang Daier to return to change to his last outfit and said a few words in the backstage, which was not a mistake.

At the end of the song, Jiang Daier retreated to the backstage to change her last outfit. When she saw Zhang Ke in the dressing room, she waved her hand excitedly. However, the time for changing clothes at the concert was tight. She had to change clothes, remember lyrics, put on makeup, and adjust her singing mood. How could she have time to speak?

Seeing the staff being in a hurry, Zhang Ke was not willing to make trouble. He first left the dressing room and walked into the passage between the stage and the backstage. There was a door, and the curtain was separated from the stage in front, so that the door was opened, so that people could hide behind the curtain to watch the final performance of the concert.

"Ah, you're here..." Jiang Daier changed into her last outfit and was about to debut.

Jiang Daier's last outfit was a long T-shirt covering her hips with a long slanted exposing half of her knees, but the patterns on the T-shirt were a little weird. I really don't know what the dressmaker is.

"Wait..." Zhang Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong with Jiang Daier's clothes, so he pulled Jiang Daier back, who was about to go on stage, "Take off the clothes quickly and put on my shirt..." Zhang Ke quickly took off his shirt, but Jiang Daier was stunned. Time was tight, and there was a sound of calling Jiang Daier to appear outside. In desperation, he pulled Bu Man over to cover Jiang Daier and himself, and helped Jiang Daier take off his T-shirt.

Jiang Daier was at a loss and took off her T-shirt for Zhang Ke. She stood half naked for a few seconds before she realized that she wanted to hold her bra-on-only breasts with both hands.

"Why aren't you going on stage yet?" Sun Jingxiang, Li Yueru, and Xu Wei listened to the constant calls outside the venue, and ran over from the dressing room to see what happened. Seeing that he had not seen Jiang Daier or Zhang Ke, he saw the curtain moving violently.
Chapter completed!
