Coquettish Rebirth

() That's right, who said that audio novels can't be put into the music pod system?Unlike the iPod in the previous life, when the iPod first started, it was a simple mp3, so when Apple launched online paid digital music downloads later, they had to name their system itunes.But Huaxia Hi-Tech is different. Huaxia Hi-Tech's products were not initially sold as a simple player like the iPod, but as a carrier equipped with a music pod system.Even when purchasing this music pod product, what is printed on the product manual is not "Thank you for purchasing this product" but "Congratulations on becoming a member of the music pod digital service".From some point of view, the small money of 399 US dollars is not to buy a 32m player, but to buy a membership! ..

In later generations, in addition to songs, some learning software and even TV dramas were added to the iPod's iTunes, but now Huaxia Hi-Tech is almost a music pod, why can't it produce audio books? "Harry Potter" is a children's book, and children's books are for children, and children don't know many words, so it's not easy to understand, so an audio book is of course the best!

"Audio novels?" JK Rowling froze for a moment, "Are you talking about the audiobooks for adult blind people?" She asked back. "Huh? Although it can be used by adult blind people, that's right, but how did you think of this aspect?" Jia Hongjian was surprised. This JK Rowling is too caring or something, how could he think that blind people need audio novels? ?Then, he listened to Rowling and asked in surprise: "Isn't it the audio novel for the blind? I received a tape from a blind mother in Tennessee before. She said that her daughter wanted to watch "Harry Potter." There are some words that her daughter doesn’t know, but she can’t see them. So I hope I can talk to the publishing house and publish an audio book on the tape, so that she can listen to it, and it can also be used for her to tell her daughter before going to bed. story. And then she told me about their audiobook program on the American side...'..

Following JK Rowling's explanation, Jia Hongjian realized that as early as 1931, the evil America had already established a project called "Talking Book" or "Talking Book".What is this plan for? It is to help the vast number of illiterate adults who can't even "read" Braille to read books. Of course, it is carried out through traditional audio recordings.And this plan is often referred to as the "Adult Blind Reading Project" in the United States.Such a project was used to provide various audiobooks to the blind in various public places back then, for example, even in the US Congress!

Such a plan started in the 30s, and in the 80s, with the popularity of cassette players.Cassettes, that is, small audio cassettes, have become the main carrier of audiobooks, even in the 90s.Because of this, when Jia Hongjian mentioned audiobooks, this jk Rowling immediately thought of the blind mother, and immediately thought of the Adult Blind Reading Project!

When Rowling was surprised what Jia Hongjian was talking about, she nodded at Jia Hongjian and said solemnly: "That's it, that's what it should be. The audiobook I thought of before, I still want to give it to Jessica." This kind of children who don’t know many words read aloud. I think that the pace of modern life is getting faster and faster, and adults are getting busier. There is less and less time to tell stories to children every day as before. Expect Wouldn't it be great to prepare an audio for the children to be told a story by someone else?"

Listening to Jia Hongjian's words, Rowling looked down at her daughter. She really didn't expect Jia Hongjian to think so carefully!indeed.If this is done, it will indeed have a market for ordinary people besides the blind!So in just a few words, Jia Hongjian, the inventor of the music pod, made an agreement with JK Rowling, the author of "Harry Potter", to make an audiobook.

When Jia Hongjian and the others began to find someone to read and narrate "Harry Potter" vividly.The sales volume of digital music in the music pod online system on the market is also more and more surprising.To be honest, now that the sales volume of the music pod itself has shocked the United States, many relevant commentators or so-called experts are waiting to see the sales volume of this online system.As a result, who knew that after selling more than 1 32m players in the first week, [-] songs were sold in the first week!On average, everyone basically released an album!

You know, this music pod that has just been released is not the 64m version. Although this version has been developed internally by Huaxia Hi-Tech, Jia Hongjian still sells it at a high price of 32m while he has no competitors.And such a 32m version is basically only enough to download an album of eleven or twelve songs. Basically, this means that in addition to buying a player for $399, consumers also spend an average of $10 per person. Paid $10 to download ten songs.One dollar a song, [-] songs is one hundred thousand dollars!It's still the first week!

This result can really make those record company bosses feel relieved!Because the achievement of 50 US dollars a week is really not bad, because after all, this player is rarely sold!But if 50 units are sold a year, then the overall sales performance will be at least five times higher!That week was 200 US dollars, and a month was 10 million US dollars, and most of it was paid by their record company. Could they be dissatisfied?Although there is nothing to make a lot of money beyond expectations, but such a steady flow of water every year, it is not a small amount of money!And besides, if you buy a music pod, you only sell 20 songs, so there are now 10 songs in the entire system!To put it bluntly, it is not difficult for ordinary people to buy an album a week, or 50 songs a month. How many songs and how much is that for [-] users a month?These are always flowing!

And most importantly, that Jia Hongjian also said that after the automatic upload function is launched in the future, their record companies can not only get consumers' preferences, but also listen to demos directly online. Seeing that ordinary person has a lot of fans, and then signing this person when they think it is suitable, so that they don't even have to send scouts outside, so how much travel expenses will be saved!Not to mention the newcomers who directly have fans, how much less packaging costs and how much less popular costs have been reduced!So in some respects, how much money this online system makes is actually not what these record companies value the most, even quite, but it is not the most valued, what they value the most, this is Jia Hongjian It provides them with a new channel to run their business, which allows them to greatly reduce costs and increase profits, so they actually pay more attention to the penetration rate of the entire system, how much they have bought, and how many people are using it. use!They are satisfied with the number of 1 units in the first week, because 2 units were sold in the second week, and a total of 3 units were sold in four weeks and three days in the first month!This is obviously a growing sales volume!

With the selection of candidates for the audio novel, the progress is quite good. In Jia Hongjian's plan, is he going to release this audio novel together with the previously scheduled online education or something.Because if you want to put online education in the music pod, it is actually best to get a larger display screen, otherwise what materials can’t just be viewed on the computer or just made into audiobooks?It is best to be able to watch it on the go, but to be able to watch it on the go, it is necessary to have at least a screen that is larger than the screen of the mobile phone.You must know that the screens of Chinese mobile phones these days can only display three lines of Chinese characters!

To be able to read things, 3 lines of Chinese characters is definitely not enough, how can you say at least 7 lines?This is already very rare!For these 7 lines, even if you want to use a single-color screen, you have to wait until the second-generation music pods are on the market, and even if this second-generation thing is according to Apple's habits, it will be a year later!This is at least one year, and it is a good choice to communicate with universities at home and abroad. It is a good choice to digitize everyone's information.But to digitize, what format to use is another question, is it pure txt or pdf?This year, the "Ah Bankrupt" company has created pdf software, and in the past two years, it has gradually been used by foreign printing and typesetting companies, which is still a good choice.And the pdf format is indeed a very "academic" software format in the eyes of later generations. It can basically use various arithmetic symbols and formulas, but I just don't know if the "Ah closed down" company will charge money or something.

Let's talk about these specific things later, what Jia Hongjian wants to do now is to enjoy the happy time for a while, and watch his company's music pods sell well all the way!But I don’t know if God forbid Jia Hongjian to rest like this. After he had just rested for two days, Spielberg, who was filming a movie in China, found Jia Hongjian with a phone call, “Dude, I’ve watched it in the past two days. A novel called "Harry Potter", which is really full of imagination, how about adapting him into a movie? How about I make it? I will definitely give you a good and acclaimed film!"
