Reborn since 1993

Chapter 837 Overturning the table
When Himalaya Radio begged Warner, Sony and other major record companies to obtain the copyrights of their records, those record companies were not necessarily willing to even look at Himalaya Radio.

But when the world collapsed and the entire record industry entered an era of chaos in Internet copyright, pirated music became rampant throughout the Internet era. When people could find the songs they wanted to listen to without spending any money by turning on their computers, Himalaya Radio, which insisted on genuine products, became a ray of justice.

In the past, after the rampant pirated music on the Internet, several major record companies were almost unable to sell their discs. It was then that Apple came out with iTunes, giving the major record companies hope of survival.

If the stalls had not been smashed, given the arrogance of the major record companies, they would probably have sneered at the olive branch thrown by Jobs!
The same routine is also needed if Himalaya Radio wants to launch a music store.

It’s just that Apple is just waiting for an opportunity, while on the Himalaya Radio side, Li Dongling is ready to take the initiative, make arrangements in advance, and detonate the Internet music website market.

If there is no opportunity, then create one. When the enemy is strong, then create a stronger opponent for it and trap it in the quagmire!

At that time, the record companies that ignored Himalaya Radio will have to beg Himalaya Radio for help.

By launching an MP3 player and adding a music store, riding on the Internet's momentum, with revenue, hype, and a vent, wouldn't Feiyan Technology's stock price soar to the sky? !
In addition, when Feiyan Technology demonstrates sufficient value, Citi, Sequoia Capital and more Wall Street institutions will also do their best to protect Feiyan Technology.

With the support of Wall Street and other companies such as Microsoft, Feiyan Technology's MP3 players will be able to enter the American market without having to worry about being targeted.

For Wall Street institutions, they actually don’t care about national borders. What they care about is only whether the stock price of the listed companies they invest in on Nasdaq or NYSE can go up and whether it can make them profitable. As for where the company comes from, they really don’t care!
Otherwise, in the past life, the three major domestic operators, as well as Luckin Coffee, would not have been able to reap so many profits in America.

"The MP3 project will be Feiyan Technology's most important project in the future and will be completed before next year. In addition, the trend of music websites is picking up in Silicon Valley!"

Li Dongling told Fu Cheng and others that it would take about a year and a half to develop an MP3 player and a music store website.

The average cycle of Silicon Valley's hot spots is only six months, which means that in six months, an Internet industry giant may emerge and even start to strive for a public listing. There is enough time.

Chen Tao, Fu Cheng and the others all felt a pain in their teeth. Of course, they understood what Li Dongling meant, which was that the major Warner record groups would not let Feiyan Technology get involved in the record copyrights, so they might as well just overturn the stall!
When you want to open a window and the other party disagrees, then you can lift the roof. Not only will the other party agree to open the window, they may even open the door!
Anyway, the record industry in America and old Europe is controlled by several major record groups of Sony, which do not allow other companies to enter. Even if the record industry is destroyed, it will not be Dongling Hi-Tech and Feiyan Technology that will feel sorry!

"In addition to the MP3 project, Dongling Hi-Tech will also officially enter the automotive industry and begin applying for automobile production licenses from the Ministry of Economy and Trade, Development and Reform and other departments!"

The news released by Li Dongling today are bigger than each other. He sold his Xiaolingtong mobile phone, went all in on GSM 2G mobile phones, developed a new MP3 project, and now applied for a car license.

In the past, the release of any of these projects would have been considered shocking news, but now they have all popped up at once.

Hearing that Li Dongling had really decided to enter the automotive industry, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao and other senior executives could not help but remain silent.

According to Li Dongling's style of doing things in recent years, it is impossible for Dongling Hi-Tech to enter the automotive industry like SAIC, GAC, FAW, etc., and then cooperate with overseas auto brands, buy engines and other parts from them, and then sell them after assembling them together.

Dongling Hi-Tech is definitely going to produce domestically produced cars. Its engines, gearboxes, chassis, etc. are definitely all self-developed!

The cost of engines is astronomical, and the funds are really being poured out like water.

The key point is that the engine technology and patents are still controlled by companies from Nippon Benz, America, Germany, France and other places.

If domestic engines want to make a technological breakthrough, it is not enough to just focus on research and development of technology, there is also the patent wall that cannot be circumvented!
Especially Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota and Honda, they have laid a lot of mines in the automobile engine industry to prevent latecomers from catching up, and they can only buy high-performance engines from them.

Seeing the worried expressions on Ren Yuefeng and others' faces, Li Dongling smiled and said, "Applying for a car license now does not mean that we have to start developing cars right away!
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Dongling Hi-Tech needs to make preparations in advance when entering the automotive industry, just like Shenzhou Computer, which may not be the most advanced computer in the world, but is definitely the most suitable for domestic users!" "Similarly, in the automotive industry, Dongling Hi-Tech also wants to launch the most suitable car for domestic users to drive and the best performance. For this, Dongling Hi-Tech needs to make some preparations in advance!"

Li Dongling looked at the senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech and gave them a heads-up in advance.

“Dongling will start preparations to recruit automotive design and R&D personnel to build Dongling Hi-Tech’s own auto parts industry chain, including investing in or acquiring auto parts companies!

In addition, we need to cooperate with some auto parts manufacturers to develop auto parts that are unique to Dongling Hi-Tech, so that Dongling Hi-Tech's cars can be recognizable enough to distinguish them from other manufacturers, such as headlights, tires, etc.!"

Li Dongling's words were not random. After all, in his previous life, a certain car brand was called the lighting factory, and that was not an exaggeration. A pair of headlights accounted for one-third of the cost of the entire vehicle.

When the headlights are turned on, people driving ten kilometers away will be blinded by the light and know that the person driving the opposite way is the distinguished owner of a certain lighting factory. If someone drives this car into the village in the middle of the night, even the roosters will crow. The sun in the dark is well-deserved!
When an accident occurs, the first thing the insurance agent asks is whether the headlights are in good condition...

In addition to the headlights, there are also blade-shaped wheels. Every time a car owner in mainland China places an order for blade-shaped wheels, there is an Accord owner on the other side of the ocean who wakes up the next day to find that the sky has fallen because the blade-shaped wheels that he had just installed for two days are gone again.

Whether it is the headlights, blade wheels, taillights, etc., in the past, when various car exterior designs were copied from each other, it was almost a one-to-one replica, making the cars using these parts different from other cars, adding characteristics and recognition!
Dongling Hi-Tech’s cars must also be recognizable, and it is determined to surpass a certain century-old automobile lighting factory.

As soon as people see it, they will know which company's car it is, so the headlights, blade wheels, and taillights must all be equipped. In the future, you can say that Dongling Hi-Tech's car performance is not as good as other brands, but you cannot say that Dongling Hi-Tech's cars have no identification. That is simply intolerable!

Ren Yuefeng, Chen Tao and others looked at each other. The request put forward by Li Dongling was completely beyond their expectations.

After all, domestic car manufacturers are now worried about bad car engines and insufficient horsepower. Li Dongling's focus is really unique...

"In addition to hardware, Dongling Hi-Tech Automobile also needs to make preparations in terms of software. Currently, there is no in-car navigation system in China, and travel depends entirely on paper maps and experience.

Dongling Hi-Tech needs to change this situation, solve the worries for Dongling Hi-Tech car owners, and develop a set of in-vehicle electronic navigation system so that Dongling Hi-Tech car owners can say goodbye to the trouble of finding the way and travel freely in the world from now on!
In addition, reversing radar, driving recorder, automatic collision alarm and rescue system will be introduced, and complete road rescue stations will be established.

No matter what, Dongling Hi-Tech's cars must be safety-oriented and user-oriented!"

The domestic navigation market is currently blank. Companies like Amap and Baidu don’t exist at all, and there aren’t even similar products.

In the past, the earliest in-car navigation system in China was launched by Carlife, which charged 15 yuan per month. Even so, it was considered a unique high-tech product. Countless car owners installed it because there was no other available navigation system except it.

Now Dongling Hi-Tech Automobile is going to launch the in-car navigation system ahead of schedule, on the one hand to seize the market, on the other hand, it is also for the car brand.

How to establish the status? It is what you have that other brands don’t have. When you buy a Dongling Hi-Tech car, in addition to the functions of the car itself, there is also emotional value, trendy design, headlights, blade wheels, taillights, navigation system, safer rescue system, etc. These make Dongling Hi-Tech cars different from other brands!

Hearing the request made by Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng couldn't help but feel a headache. These requirements all need financial support. Money is needed to develop these functions, and it is not something that can be pushed out just by talking!
However, Li Dongling did not push too hard on the research and development of Dongling Hi-Tech Automobile.

"Dongling Hi-Tech Automobile was able to apply for a license, register a car brand, and complete the preparation of the industrial chain within two years, and then test the waters for the first car!

After the establishment of Dongling Hi-Tech Automobile Department, the first product will be another product. In the short term, the mission of Dongling Hi-Tech Automobile is not how much money to make, but to survive!
To this end, Dongling Hi-Tech will launch some profitable products and projects when developing cars, including electric bicycles, electric tricycles, and electric motorcycles..."
