Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"...I love you, I love you like a mouse loves rice..."

The song "Mice Love Rice" reached Zhang San's ears in the streets and alleys. Hearing the familiar song, he felt a sense of temporal disorientation. Heh... So it's already this time? He reversed time and traveled here for more than ten years! It made him feel like he was in another world.

When he returned from outside, he picked up the phone and called the mainland branch of Pauling to inquire about the progress of their copyright acquisition.

In the early stages of internet development, piracy had a huge impact on the music industry in mainland China. Due to the rampant piracy, many musicians' creative efforts could not be properly rewarded, which severely dampened their enthusiasm for creation.

Piracy allows music to be widely distributed without authorization, leading to a significant drop in the sales of legitimate music and severely impacting the economic benefits of the music industry.

Many music companies and musicians are facing declining incomes and difficulty making a living, which also hinders the innovation and development of music in mainland China.

Furthermore, piracy disrupts the healthy competition in the music market, making it impossible for legitimate music to compete with pirated music, and hindering the accessibility and support of excellent musical works. This negatively impacts the diversity and quality improvement of music in mainland China.

This also made it much easier for Zhang San to acquire music copyrights. However, this move has always involved large investments and low returns, which has kept Baolijin operating at a loss.

Today, Zhang San called to inquire, so I naturally reported the situation.

"Those people are all willing to sell; they'd love for us to buy them and make us suckers." The person in charge on the other end of the line has been having a really easy time lately. All he has to do is spend money. Acquiring copyrights couldn't be easier. In fact, those music companies are practically coming to his door. Basically, one phone call is all it takes to get it done.

Although many people don't understand why such a large company would be willing to do business at a loss, it doesn't stop them from making money.

"We need to strengthen our cooperation with the ringback tone service to strive for a balance between income and expenditure."

"Yes, yes, boss, we are the largest music copyright holder in mainland China. If they don't cooperate with us, who will they cooperate with?"

This mobile ringback tone is a unique music experience launched last year. When you make a call, instead of the monotonous dial tone, you'll hear personalized music.

Everyone can choose their own ringback tone, which could be an excerpt from a popular song, a classic melody, or even a custom sound. The melody of the ringback tone seems to dance on the other end of the phone, adding a special atmosphere to the call. It can be cheerful, making you want to hum along; it can be soothing, like a clear spring flowing in your ear; or it can be exciting, energizing you.

Mobile ringback tones not only showcase personal style and taste but also bring pleasure while waiting to answer. They have become a "personal label" for mobile phones, allowing people to express their unique selves in communications.

With 2 million users last year, the number has already exceeded 10 million by the halfway point of this year, and it should double by the end of the year.

Paulkin not only possesses music libraries within mainland China, but also those of neighboring countries and Europe and America. It can be said that Paulkin is the largest partner of the operators here. Paulkin has signed a revenue-sharing agreement with the mainland operators, with each party receiving half, and settlements are made every three months.

"Boss, we should be able to break even this year. We've already reached ten million ringback tone users..."

Paulikin, a globally renowned music company, also has extensive operations in mainland China. Its business scope covers multiple areas including music production, distribution, copyright management, and artist management.

Baolijin has the most singers in mainland China. Under Zhang San's instructions, any musician with potential can be signed. They will discover and cultivate musical talents in mainland China, collaborate with local singers and musicians, and launch musical works with mainland characteristics.

Pauline Music, which already has an online music platform, can bring excellent music to the market and meet listeners' diverse music needs.

In the future, Baolijin will engage in copyright management to protect the intellectual property rights of musical works and ensure that creators' rights are respected and rewarded. They will collaborate with copyright agencies in mainland China to combat piracy and maintain the healthy development of the music industry.

Why not? Because someone would do it for Paulkin. As a foreign company, if they did it, they would probably be condemned and ruined by the White House faction.

Zhang San personally experienced the Weibo incident back then...

In artist management, Paulkin provides its artists with comprehensive support and management, including music career planning, performance arrangements, and publicity and promotion. Through various activities and performances, they enhance the artists' visibility and influence, helping them realize their musical dreams.

It can be said that Baolijin has a very large influence in mainland China.

Zhang San has decided to launch a variety show globally. The copyright has been registered worldwide. He had been planning this show since 2000, and the proposal had already been copyrighted. He has created nearly thirty versions of this large-scale variety talent show to prevent infringement.

Especially in places where copyright is not taken seriously, otherwise people would really think their stuff is easy to take?

Soon after, news that Bao Lijin was going to hold a music talent show sparked widespread attention and discussion among netizens. Everyone was full of curiosity about the program and expressed their opinions on social media.

Some netizens believe this is a great opportunity for more talented singers to showcase their skills and potential. They hope to discover more outstanding newcomers through this platform and inject new vitality into the music industry.

Some netizens also expressed concern about the show's selection criteria, hoping that the selection process would be fair and just, and truly select talented singers.

Meanwhile, some netizens also discussed the contestants' backgrounds and experiences, believing that contestants from different backgrounds should have the opportunity to participate, so as to make music more diverse.

In addition, some netizens questioned Paulin's move, worrying that its purpose was not merely to select outstanding singers, but rather for commercial gain. They hoped that Paulin would truly focus on the music itself, rather than turning it into a purely commercial hype.

Although there's been a lot of discussion online, Zhang San is genuinely doing this for commercial purposes. He's a businessman; what's the point if he doesn't make money? This event will be global, not only in mainland China but also overseas…
