Chapter 1280 (1/2)

Michael Jackson asked.

He is not as resistant to these things as the five major record companies. However, he wondered whether it could really bring benefits.

If you buy it on the Internet, fewer people will buy it in reality. In reality, record stores, merchants and a series of middlemen have to make money. Even singers have to make money.

Is it appropriate that you rashly moved so many people's cheese?

”Michael, what I want to say is that although the price of single songs has decreased, the number of buyers will increase. Before that, just like you, a record sold 25 million copies, which was a very amazing sales volume. But if you put it on the Internet, I think this number may break 100 million. ” Qin Feng said, ”you now have a vinyl record of $19. If you sell it on the Internet, it will be divided into one song. For each song, our initial intention is to price it according to the singer from me. Then the whole album will be packaged for sale. ”

Michael Jackson looked at Qin Feng curiously.

”If we sell albums with discounted prices for $9.9, half the price, but the number of buyers exceeds 100 million, it's cost-effective. You can sell 25 million albums on the market, about $425 million, and if you put them on the Internet, it's $990 million.” Qin Feng said.

Of course, in fact, it may not be that expensive. However, with Michael Jackson's charm, it is not impossible to set such a high price. After all, this is Michael Jackson.

”I see!” Michael Jackson nodded.

In this regard, it may indeed make more money for singers. For fans, it will be more convenient to buy, and they can enjoy greater discounts and discounts.

”But for those middlemen, they lost their business. What do they do? ” Michael Jackson asked.

The first one to bear the brunt is the record store. I'm afraid the business of the record store will be gone.

”This is bound to be affected.” Qin Feng nodded and did not hide, ”the advent of e-commerce is the general trend. With the popularity of the Internet, human beings rely on the Internet, just like Amazon, which used to sell books. Now, it has become an e-sales platform. More and more people are shopping on Amazon. ”

”With the development of the times, there will always be some old industries eliminated by the times and some emerging products.” Qin Feng said, ”does the record store own any patents or technical content? did not. It is a platform, which has no contribution, but makes money with some market monopoly positions. This is unreasonable. Now, with the advent of the Internet age, consumers can choose freely. That's reasonable. ”

At this point, although Michael Jackson felt that there seemed to be something wrong, he also agreed with Qin Feng.

”Of course, this is also a bit bad, that is, all singers will compete on one platform. Whether its sales are good or not depends entirely on the quality of songs to please fans. Instead of like before, one or two songs on an album may sound good, and the rest is just to make up the numbers. ” Qin Feng said, ”so I'm afraid many fans will choose single sales.” Qin Feng said.

In this way, the competition is fierce. Maybe even the singer himself, only the songs that are widely sung will be wildly downloaded by fans, and I'm afraid no one cares about the rest of the songs.

Of course, for Michael Jackson, he doesn't have to worry.

After all, he is now the only king in the world.

In particular, he has a large number of music copyrights. In this case, there will be no loss for him.

The only thing to worry about is Sony records.

Fortunately, he has a cooperative relationship with Sony records, and both sides jointly own the record company. But Michael Jackson doesn't have the right to manage the company. But it has half of the management dividend.

As for the right to use these songs, Michael Jackson himself has the final say.

In this regard, he still has an absolute voice.
