Silicon Valley

Chapter 116 The Voice of America

For the issue of the record company's termination, Henry also has no good solution. For record companies that did not terminate their contracts, Henry promised to strongly recommend the songs of their artists. When a song becomes popular, people become popular, and when people become popular, you can make money, hold concerts, receive endorsements in advertisements, make movies and TV, etc., you can also make money!

Lost mulberry elm, harvested in the east corner!

Money lost on records can be made up elsewhere and made even more!

You don't have to sell records! ! !

However, most record companies were not very interested in what Henry said. They think that they have been tricked once and cannot be tricked a second time. Besides, no one has traveled this road before, and they don't want to "pay tuition again"!

Henry shook his head, and said to himself, "The dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the good heart. How much better than selling records?" ? ? Why is the record company's vision so low...

On the one hand, Henry asked Tiantian Music Company to operate well, hoping to create stars by recommending songs, and finally create a typical example. On the other hand, he asked Silicon Valley Electronics Group to develop better MP3s as soon as possible and launch them into the market as soon as possible!

However, the R\u0026D staff told Henry that the flash memory technology will not be able to achieve a leap-forward breakthrough. In a short period of time, the capacity of flash memory storage will not increase too much!

Hearing this news, Henry could only shake his head helplessly. Finally, after thinking about it, I don't need flash memory at all, and directly use the hard disk as a storage tool. In fact, Apple's iPod is a hard drive MP3. However, a new problem has arisen. Although the hard disk has a large storage capacity, it is also large in size and expensive. If it is installed on MP3, wouldn't it be a big guy?

"A big man is a big man, anyway, he can store songs!!!" Henry thought about it and decided to make a hard drive MP3. In 1988, Hitachi launched the first 9.5-inch hard drive, and the capacity of this hard drive has reached 1.89GB. Henry has recruited a lot of technical talents from Hitachi and Toshiba to develop hard disks. Henry does not require that the storage size can reach 1G, even if it is only 30MB, but the hard disk must be reduced to at least 1 inch, which is almost 2.5cm long.

This kind of MP3 will be much smaller than Sony's CD Walkman, and MP3 also has an advantage that can beat Sony's Walkman: MP3 can download songs from the Internet at any time, and the cost is much cheaper than buying CDs. And more convenient!

The size of 30MB can store more than ten MP3 songs. If users don't like a song, they can delete it at any time and download other songs.

Once MP3 is launched, it will be a disaster for the Walkman market!

Henry consulted a technician to see if a 1-inch hard drive could be made. The technician thought about the answer, and it can be done, but it will take some time to study, and the storage capacity of the hard disk must be very small!

Just do it!

This is the answer Henry wants to hear!

Immediately, Henry ordered them to develop this small hard drive. In fact, this small hard drive can also be called a micro hard drive. In 2000, IBM was the first to launch a 1-inch micro hard drive with storage sizes of 340MB and 512MB. Today, the technology is ten years behind. If you want to make such a small hard disk, you can only make concessions in storage.

At present, it is not that micro-hard drives cannot be made, but that there is no development in this area. The storage size of the hard disk is naturally better. With the current technology as a micro-hard disk, the storage capacity is bound to be small and pitiful, which obviously does not meet the market demand. Therefore, no company is developing micro hard drives now. At least until the technology is mature, it will develop a hard disk with a size of several hundred MB like IBM, so that it has a wide range of uses and can have commercial value!

But MP3 needs a micro hard drive, so Henry decided to develop this technology!

While developing micro-hard disk technology, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will also develop a USB universal converter. There are various interfaces on the computer now. The expansion interfaces on the computers of various computer manufacturers such as IBM, Apple, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell are different. There is no unified standard, which is really troublesome. Henry intends to promote USB and form a standard. The first step is to make a USB universal converter, which can connect the interface on the current mainstream computer through the USB universal converter. That is to say, by using the USB universal converter, you can freely use its extended functions on various types of computers!

Once the USB universal converter fires, there is the possibility of forming a standard. Computer manufacturers will naturally realize the benefits of USB, and most of them will directly use USB as a computer interface! Is it possible that they will go to the distance and make a new standard again? Computer companies are competitors to each other. It is impossible to say that everyone sits down with each other and negotiates a new standard together.

Seeing that usb is very popular among users, of course, it is the first time to develop a computer with this usb interface.

The computers of other computer companies have introduced the usb interface, but the computer you produced does not. Obviously, they are lagging behind in the competitiveness of their products.

One of the laws of business, no company is stupid, they just aren't smart enough!

Therefore, if the USB becomes popular, under the promotion of Henry, the formation of a standard is inevitable! And then, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will be able to collect patent fees and receive a soft...

Can usb fire? It doesn't seem to be a problem. What's more, MP3 is a "combustion accelerant", which can make it a big fire! ! !

Any purchase of MP3 will come with a USB universal converter. MP3 is on fire, and USB universal converter is on fire. Because, you must use a usb universal converter to connect MP3 and computer...

As soon as Yitian comes out, who will compete with him? Little Japan's Walkman will be cut off by MP3 sooner or later! ! !

now? Let the little Japan go wild first.

...

...

Henry estimates that it will take at least half a year for the micro-hard disk technology to be successfully developed. Therefore, within half a year, Tiantian Music Company will face a huge challenge - no new songs.

Henry is also embarrassed to pull down his face to do piracy again. He has made it clear to the outside world that Tiantian Music Company is a company that makes genuine music. So, in any case, pirated music can not continue to do. But the source of the new song is a big problem!

After thinking about it, Henry finally opened his mind. An independent music upload channel has been opened on the mp3 website, which is dedicated to providing a platform for those talented individuals or groups who create music independently! ! !

This platform, Henry named it "The Voice of America". There is a like function under the song, as well as a comment function. If the song is good, the like rate is high, and there will even be a record company looking for them to sign a contract. In addition, in order to encourage everyone to upload their own music to the "Voice of America", the top ten songs with monthly likes will be rewarded by Tiantian Music Company from low to high, ranging from one thousand to ten thousand dollars. In addition, at the end of the year, the ten most popular songs will be selected, and the top ten songs will receive a prize of 10,000 to 100,000!

Henry even decided to make "The Voice of America" ​​a music brand, and will launch a variety version of "The Voice of America" ​​in the future...

"If you don't have a music source, then create your own platform and create a source!!! What's so great about a record company, don't beg me in the future..." Henry looked at the pile of contract termination documents on the table and said indifferently! (The update is late,,, sorry to keep everyone waiting for a long time. Please recommend and collect!!!
