"the only one bold enough to slam ma hua with cash is you, zhang menglong." after listening to the entire phone call, wang ling's admiration flowed endlessly like a raging river.
"no worries, next time there's a call like this, you can talk on my behalf as my spokesperson," zhang menglong generously said.
"thanks a lot!" wang ling rolled his eyes, lacking the confidence to engage in such bold maneuvers.
"ah, the main character arrives!" zhang menglong glanced at his phone. it must be ding yuxi's call now.
"zhang menglong!" ding yuxi immediately got hold of zhang menglong's number. "what on earth are you trying to do?"
"what am i trying to do?" zhang menglong replied, "not satisfied? if you're not, go buy it yourself! if you don't have the money, then shut your mouth!"
"zhang menglong, don't think you're something just because you have money. operating a music platform, having just rights hardly makes you competitive!" ding yuxi gritted his teeth as he spoke.
speaking of rights, he indeed couldn't afford to be as extravagant as zhang menglong — not even tengxun could bring out that amount of money to buy so many rights.
but one should know that for music platforms like theirs, the sound quality of music is also very important. their wanyi music developed music engine is currently the most advanced in the country, providing an atmosphere and enjoyment of music unmatched by other apps.
that's also why wanyi music doesn't have many rights, but still holds the second position in the national market.
moreover, there's the "net suppressing cloud," which has mixed reviews online — it's another reason for their huge user base, as listeners always find something relatable in it.
"zhang menglong, our wanyi music's music engine, even if your tiny team researched for another five years, you couldn't reach this level."
"oh, you're talking about this!" zhang menglong laughed. "our music forest's engine is called 'sacred sound 3.0'; since you're in the music business, you should know a bit about it.
"sacred sound? impossible! that engine is the best overseas and was exclusively bought by the world's largest music company. how could you possibly have it?" ding yuxi felt that zhang menglong's claim was completely absurd.
anyone in the music industry knows that besides headphones and players, the engine a music app uses directly affects sound quality. there are many music engines worldwide, but 'sacred sound' is universally acknowledged as number one.
this was a music engine developed by a student from overseas a few years ago, which had attracted immense attention upon its emergence. the largest music group, nahua, wholly acquired this student team, and over the years, through several updates, its functionalities became stronger and its performance more profound.
even huaxia's development teams had to admit that 'sacred sound' was currently the most advanced music engine in the world.
it is said that the team had signed confidentiality and non-compete agreements with nahua group, and this core technology was strictly not allowed to be divulged.
"i thought you were ding sanshi's son, who grew up studying in ivy league schools, calling me would surely be imposing, turns out you're just like a spineless dog, yapping here. i've never seen such a shameless person!"
"you...you...ah..."
"hmm? ambulance siren?" zhang menglong hung up the phone, "the young people nowadays really can't handle pressure!"
"even wang situ couldn't handle this kind of cursing!" wang ling didn't know zhang menglong could be this biting, "from now on, i won't watch b station's remix section if you're not in it!"
"cut the chatter, how's the app?"
"don't worry, it'll be online by tonight!"
"come on, let's go have skewers, my treat!"
...
music forest is a music platform that wang ling has been running for two years. because it's not very large, it only owns some copyrights of indie artists and internet singers.
after two years, they haven't even made back the capital they invested, and the number of app downloads is pitifully low; wang ling was even close to cutting off this part of the business.
but zhang menglong's joining revitalized the app from the ashes.
that very night, the project team of music forest started working frenzied overtime; they knew that with zhang menglong's involvement, big funding was coming. with money, what can't you do well?
the company doesn't have many people right now, but if business takes off, they will become the senior members of the company!
is business about to take off? as a music platform, as long as the copyrights are in place, users will start paying!
in just three days, the whole music forest app was transformed completely, and during these three days, zhang menglong had also secured a large number of music copyrights, all exclusive licenses!
on the third night, all the music was listed, and the new music forest app officially launched with zhang menglong synchronizing this news on his social media.
after a few days of buildup, the aficionados were already eager, and when the news broke out, both the android and apple app markets were half paralyzed, a massive download volume that even their servers could barely handle.
"this won't do!" zhang menglong, looking at the download report, shook his head, "maybe i should acquire apple as well?"
