Chapter 59 Project Launch

After Li Mu was reborn, it was rare to meet a practitioner like Kong Lingyu, who has a sufficient understanding of the Internet and has unlimited optimism about the Internet prospects.

After a long talk, Li Mu was still very optimistic about Kong Lingyu, and Kong Lingyu was shocked by Li Mu in his heart. Li Mu's understanding of the Internet was so profound that a little information he accidentally revealed made him feel incomprehensible.

For example, Li Mu said that Yiting should try to provide basic cloud listening services, but he doesn’t understand what cloud audio-visual is.

But for Li Mu, the concept of cloud storage has long been a bad thing for later generations of Internet. No matter how big it is to play with it, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than transferring the data that should have been stored locally to the cloud server for storage; things that should have been solved locally are taken to the cloud server to handle.

The simplest cloud audio-visual, to put it bluntly, is an online audition list.

In the future, the backend of the website will store a user-defined audition list for each registered user. In the future, no matter how the user changes the terminal, as long as he logs in, he can open his favorite playlist.

Ten years later, any website without this function will be criticized, but at present, this kind of service has not been done except online games and instant messaging software, because developers have not yet popularized the concept of serving users.

After chatting for an hour, Kong Lingyu also talked about his website home. After seeing hao123 gathering huge traffic, he felt the business opportunities contained in it, so he also made a similar thing, but the problem is that the navigation website is simple and the server demand is not high, but promotion is a big problem.

He has been working on it for half a year, and now he has less than 3,000 independent users every day, which is pitifully small.

Li Mu is not optimistic about the prospects of such navigation websites. Hao123 is the strongest one in navigation websites, but the price he sells to Baidu in the future is only tens of millions. In the future, there will be many portal websites. Software companies use their own traffic and installation volume to promote their own navigation websites. This kind of thing is too low and the threshold is too low. Although it has a large amount of traffic, it does not have real user stickiness, and it does not have the possibility of converting users into income. The biggest source of income in the future is to sell advertisements.

Moreover, after Baidu acquired hao123, it has been using Baidu's own huge traffic to support hao123, so it is a win-win situation for them. If Baidu was willing to spend some time running a similar website on its own, the market for navigation websites may be like this, and it will not be able to truly form a strong industrial chain.

However, the concept of a music portal is much more meaningful than a navigation website.

Li Mu knew that countless huge acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions in the Internet field in later generations all had a characteristic: the investor party, the acquisition or merger is mostly their own blank areas, or areas that are not strong enough, and the purpose of the acquisition is also to ensure the completeness of its own ecosystem and not give competition to mobile phones.

For example, Tencent invested in Didi Taxi, Alibaba invested in Quick Taxi, and then both sides burned money to trigger a series of subsidy wars. In fact, the real purpose of both parties behind the war is to strengthen their market share in the mobile payment field;

For example, after Alibaba entered the entertainment industry, in order to fill the gap in online videos, it acquired Youku Tudou;

For example, in order to make up for the shortcomings in its mobile phone wireless field, Baidu acquired 91 Assistant;

In the above acquisition cases, the transaction prices are all in "billions" units, and they are all US dollars.

With the surge in demand for online auditions and MP3 downloads in the future, giants will definitely keep an eye on this market. If Yiting became the dominant player in this field at that time, then this significance would be very important and the valuation would naturally not be low.

Li Mu did not deny Kong Lingyu's own navigation website, but reached an agreement with him that on the basis of not affecting the progress of the Yiting project, Kong Lingyu could continue to operate his own project, and could even appropriately use Yiting's future team strength. If Kong Lingyu wants to sell his navigation station one day, Li Mu would give priority to the acquisition.

As for Kong Lingyu's treatment, it was initially set at 3,000 yuan per month, but there was a two-month probation period, and the monthly salary of the probation period remained unchanged. After the probation period was passed, Li Muhui provided social security for him through the human resources company in society.

Kong Lingyu knew that Li Mu was a personal entrepreneur and had not established a company, so he had no objection to this. The salary given by Li Mu was basically the same as his salary at Yahoo, but this place is Jinling after all, and the various consumption costs are one level lower than that of Yanjing, so Kong Lingyu was very satisfied with this salary.

After the two decided, Li Mu kept him for lunch and asked him to interview other people with him in the afternoon.

Li Mu needs Kong Lingyu to become a leader. In the future, he can only control Yiting in the general direction, but the specific details need Kong Lingyu to implement them for himself.

In the afternoon, the two interviewed another web developer together. The other party was a young man in his early twenties who had just graduated from college. Through conversations and some professional knowledge assessments, Li Mu and Kong Lingyu both felt that this young man was a little arrogant.

The basic technology of the server is fine, while the Artist is a girl who graduated from Jinling University. She has no work experience yet, but she looks very down-to-earth and has a certain understanding of the Internet.

Li Mu and Kong Lingyu discussed it for a while, and decided to recruit server technology and artists first. As for web development, Kong Lingyu would slowly recruit him. Li Mu had no time to continue to waste in Jinling.

Li Mu left the specific needs of Yiting's next development to Kong Lingyu, and even Li Mu left him to the procurement of office computers and other facilities needed in the workplace in the future.

I really have no time and experience, so I can only make the best use of it, which makes Kong Lingyu worry too much. As for whether he is trustworthy, Li Mu doesn't care. It's rare to talk about speculation, so just use people without doubt!

It was also because he did not register a company that Li Mu did not find a part-time accounting company and entrusted his support issues to Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming was also very powerful. He directly called an accountant in his father's company from the building, and then asked her to help Li Mu deal with the expenses in the entire workplace. The salary of Kong Lingyu and other employees, as well as daily procurement and reimbursement, were all subject to the review and distribution of the accountant. Kong Lingyu needed to purchase office equipment, just say hello.

As for the maintenance funds needed for the entire project, Ye Tianming directly took over the big loan.

"You don't have to worry about these things anymore. The four of us have promised you that you can help us and we will pay and work hard to help you run this business."

Given that there are outsiders, Ye Tianming was embarrassed to say clearly what Li Mu was doing.

Li Mu knew very well that everyone had indeed reached this deal. Since this was the case, I would not be polite to them. Anyway, I didn’t have much money, so the cost of opening a specialty store would probably have to be paid for about 500,000 yuan at once, and there would be no more money left.

Before Li Mu left, the four people who had a simple plan took out another 200,000 yuan. The 200,000 yuan was not given to Li Mu, but directly built an account. The 200,000 yuan was used exclusively for the purpose of the special funds, and then all of them were used for the development of the Yiting project. If it was not enough, the four people would release it again.

Today, Zhang Kexuan and the others have already paid 380,000 yuan, which is not small, but it is nothing to the four of them. However, Li Mu also has a rough mind. Their 200,000 yuan is enough for Yi Ting to get started. As for the subsequent costs, he is not ready to continue to bear it. Once the Legend is launched in September this year, he will have a stable income. It will not be a problem to use it to support Yi Ting at that time.

After getting things done about Jinling, Li Mu bought a train ticket back to Haizhou at 7 o'clock in the evening. Zhang Kexuan and the other two insisted on treating Li Mu to dinner to practice for him, but during the dinner, Li Mu quietly settled the account.

Zhang Kexuan was very dissatisfied with Li Mu's approach of paying the bill quietly, and the other three people complained repeatedly. In their opinion, Jinling was their home court. With them, Li Mu also asked him to spend money in Jinling, leaving them blank.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Everyone just thinks I am helping you celebrate in advance. A simple plan will definitely win the provincial championship and go to Yanjing to participate in the finals!"

Zhang Kexuan nodded. When it comes to the game, he has more passion than anyone else. He stood up and said with great enthusiasm: "The goal of the simple plan is the national championship! As long as Brother Mu is there, the championship will definitely be no problem!"

The other three cheered, and Zhang Kexuan was excited and asked Li Mu: "Brother Mu, if we win the provincial championship, we still need two songs. I wonder if you have prepared for your brothers?"

"It's ready." Li Mu smiled slightly: "It depends on your ability."

"Can we listen first?"

The four of them were full of expectations. What kind of good songs could Li Mu give them in the future is their most concerned issue.
