However, even the price of $0.59 was arguing with the record company. The record company agreed to authorize it to Bluestar Technology, but the agreement also added many restrictions on interference clauses, such as the price of digital music, because the terms of the agreement are divided by share, and if the sales are too cheap, the record company will make less money.

Apple's itunes priced at $0.99, also reached an agreement with the record company after talking a lot. There is no way, the copyright is in the hands of the record company. At present, the digital music market occupies too little market share, so naturally there is little say.

In this regard, the record company is very stubborn and has a clear attitude. It is your business to sell how low you want to sell it. You subsidize it yourself. The share of each song sold is based on the current standard price of Apple.

Luo Sheng did not talk to the record company and had not yet gained a foothold. He had to temporarily support these men and threaten to withdraw copyrights and interrupt authorization at any time. Luo Sheng also had no good way to deal with them.

I had to stop making money by myself. The share of the song sales was 60% to the record company at $0.99/year, while the actual sales were 0.59/year. In other words, Luo Sheng's decision was equivalent to letting every song sold on the musispae platform lose $0.004 now. The higher the sales volume, the more the company loses.

The purpose of doing this is to make itunes uncomfortable. Luo Sheng can now fully accept that the musispae platform does not make a single point or even loses money, with the only purpose of competing for users.

But Apple has tasted the sweetness of making big profits from both the itunes+ipod combinations, and suddenly wants to lower the price, which means itunes makes half the profit. As a listed company, Apple's current stock price is in full swing.

With the user scale of itunes of hundreds of millions, this is not a small amount. The itunes+ipod combination has brought Apple $10 billion in revenue in just three years, and it was not transformed out of thin air.

The price does not mean that it can be reduced immediately. It is not easy to let a person take out the benefits he has taken out and get half of it.

Luo Sheng's combination punches, if the competitors can handle everything in a timely manner and successfully stabilize them without any mistakes, there is nothing to say. You can only say that you are powerful, and then look back and think about new tricks, practice them and then come out to pk.

...

The international version of musispae was launched for more than a week, and on the eighth day, it successfully exceeded 1 million users. Luo Sheng's cost of nearly US$200 million was questioned by investors. They were shocked just now when they learned the news.

With the launch of musispae for a week, Luo Sheng once again made investors shut their mouths and established his authority by "slapping" investors in the face again and again.

Investors are very excited now because musispae's start has shown them the possibility of competing with Apple's itunes, and that possibility is higher than they originally expected.

You should know that Apple has made a big comeback after entering the new century with the itunes+ipod combination, making a lot of money, and many people are jealous of it.

There is no doubt that several major investors of Blue Star Technology hope that Luo Sheng can chew a piece of fat from Apple.

Musispae's growth momentum has indeed made Apple feel pressure. Although its current size is not proportional to itunes, just look at the growth curve of other Internet products under Bluestar Technology, if you don't pay attention to it, your mind will definitely be stuck in the door.

So far, the products launched by Bluestar Technology have not failed, and even the reddit website, which has been criticized repeatedly, has become more and more popular.

Sometimes, my colleagues are really annoying.

On the tenth day after Musispae was launched, Apple hurriedly announced that it would launch a new version of Itunes, namely the Windows version. PC users can also use itunes at that time. Obviously, they felt the pressure. Musispae is coming in full force. If they are indifferent to this, the PC market will be the world of their competitors.

However, the leader of the Qiao Gang is still very arrogant and disdained to follow some of the new innovative functions of musispae. At least not now, and he is not in a hurry to engage in a money-burning battle with the other party. First, the resistance is too great, and second, it is too much to fight like this now, and it is too loss. Both sides are not proportional in size. Besides, musispae has come out. Although the start is brilliant and has attracted the attention of Apple, the level of threat has not yet reached the point where it is pushed to life and death.

In May, Luo Sheng was widely reported by many media in North America, among which "Silicon Valley" magazine directly published a piece of articles to further expand his popularity in Europe and the United States.

In the report, the attached characters' covers are particularly eye-catching, namely Luo Sheng and Jobs. The cover emphasizes the age of both parties. The former was born in 1985 and is now 19 years old, while the latter was in 1955 and is now 49 years old.

Whenever media reports mention Luo Sheng, they inevitably use more or less pens to emphasize his age, and the lines express their amazement at his young age and his current achievements.

Luo Sheng was named "Son of the Internet" by Silicon Valley magazine. He rose in the Internet field in a flash, changing the situation where a new model was born in Silicon Valley in the past and was proved successful, and then the replication of China was successful.

Now a group of people in the Internet industry around the world are competing to imitate him. The biggest contribution is the like function. Now almost every website has this function after the update version.

With the launch of the product, a large number of followers in the domestic Internet industry are coming. Tengxun immediately launched a project of the [qq music] project, and other startups, such as the [kuwo Music] project and the [kugou Music] project, are launched one after another.

Although most industry insiders were mocking Luo Sheng for being stupid and having a lot of money some time ago, no matter how ridiculed he was, it did not prevent him from following the trend, especially after seeing the popularity of Silicon Valley, he became even more determined.

It has to be said that most so-called senior practitioners in the domestic Internet industry attach great importance to the reputation of Silicon Valley, as if they have become an unwritten standard.

It is precisely because of this that putting Blue Star Technology and Luo Sheng in an unspecified position makes the domestic Internet people feel very complicated, they are a little dissatisfied but have to accept it. Even a few people in the industry are distorted. If Luo Sheng is a foreigner, they are more willing to accept it, while Luo Sheng is a complete Chinese, they will find it difficult to accept it.

Even the higher the achievements of Blue Star Technology and Luo Sheng, the more unhappy they are. But if they don’t accept it, they have to accept that the Silicon Valley technology circle is following the trend.

The domestic Internet is considered a wilderness in this era. Bluestar Technology has become the object of imitation by many Internet entrepreneurial teams. There is an unwritten consensus in the industry now. No matter what it is, as long as Luo Sheng is doing, you should follow up boldly, which is absolutely right.

Let’s not talk about whether you can make a name for following the trend, but one thing can be guaranteed that following the trend is at least much easier than following Luo Sheng. If you take a step back, even if you can’t compete with Blue Star Technology in the end, you can still sell the product to the other party.

There are still many smart people. Many followers actually never thought about doing it for a long time. Instead, they started doing it first, and then waited for Bluestar Technology to acquire it in the future, or were acquired by other large companies, and finally cashed out and left the scene.

Investors are very fond of entrepreneurial teams that follow Feng Luo Sheng, which is also a very important factor.
