Chapter 128: Squeeze Director Jay dry first.
After Penguin received the rectification notice from the relevant departments, it immediately shut down the server of Penguin Music. Xiao Ma did not dare to touch the other party's bottom line. It would be fun if the company was really shut down.
Fortunately, the copyright protection law was not very perfect at this time, otherwise it would not be as simple as a fine of 250,000. If future generations pirated so many songs, they would be imprisoned.
...
After the Penguin Music server was shut down, it also attracted heated discussions among netizens.
Someone first discovered that the download speed of Penguin Music was slow, and then someone else discovered that the Penguin Music page could not be opened.
"What the hell, what's going on with Penguin Music?"
"I guess there are too many downloaders and the server is down."
"Haha, as expected, Penguin is as rubbish as ever."
"Just take a look at the Penguin Voice Chat Room and you'll know. As long as it's about sound, don't use Penguin."
"I also wanted to put some of Jay Chou's songs on the MP3, but I didn't expect Penguin to be so involved."
"It's better to use Qilin to listen to music. I never use Penguin."
“But after downloading Qilin Music, I can’t find where to put the MP3.”
"The person upstairs must not have read the announcement of Qilin Music carefully, because the music of Qilin Music is all genuine, so his songs can only be listened to on Qilin Music, and you are not allowed to download and listen to other places."
Because Kirin has not yet filed a lawsuit in court, Penguin has not publicly apologized. Netizens simply thought that there was a problem with the Penguin server.
After waiting for two days, Penguin Music still cannot be used normally. Penguin did not provide any explanation to the outside world. Netizens either returned to pirated websites or returned to the embrace of Kirin Music.

April 15th Kirin Software...
Natasha is brainstorming with people from the School of Computer Science.
Ke Zhen turned around unconsciously and saw Cao Mang and Sakurai Yumi coming in with a pushcart.
There was a five-layer cake on top of the dining car. There was a ballerina on top of the cake, surrounded by sparkling fireworks. Cao Mang made a silent gesture to Ke Zhen.
When the dining cart was pushed behind Natasha, Cao Mang and Sakurai Yumi sang: "Happy
birthday
to
you..."
Everyone present probably guessed that today is Natasha's birthday, and everyone started singing along.
Natasha looked back and saw that it was Cao Mang. She covered her mouth and was moved to tears.
"Cao Mang, thank you." Natasha rushed over and put her arms around Cao Mang's neck, kissed him and said.
Although he knew that Natasha came to China for Cao Mang, and Cao Mang always said that he only regarded her as his sister, Sakurai Yumi felt a little uncomfortable.
"Little fool, stop crying, cut the cake quickly and make a wish." Cao Mang said after a head-butt kill.
With everyone present, Natasha didn't dare to go too far. She nodded, closed her eyes and made a wish. There were only three girls present and the others were all older men, so no one would gossip and ask her what her wish was.
After sharing the cake, the brief birthday party passed like this. Natasha didn't ask if there were any surprises, and everyone returned to their original working state.
...
In the afternoon, Qilin Entertainment welcomed a heavyweight king.
Through Emperor's connections, Cao Mang found the Holliday Group and spent NT$150 million (35 million soft sister coins) to buy the other party's contract and copyright.
At first, the other party was unwilling to sell. Cao Mang made a calculation with the other party and found that the other party only had more than three years of contract left. Can he make so much money with this little time left?
Finally, after careful calculation, he was willing to sell the other party's contract to Qilin Media.
"Director Cao, I wonder why you called me here this time?" Director Zhou was not surprised at all when he saw Cao Mang, but his unhappiness was written on his face.
Regarding the matter of being sold, Jay Chou had resented Lao Wu for more than ten years. He was sold again not long after he arrived at the new owner. You can imagine how Jay Chou felt at this time.
"The situation in China regarding Kazakhstan, Korea, and Japan is very serious. I hope someone can break this pattern and tell young people today that Chinese is the best, so I bought you back from Holaday." Cao Mang explained. "In the next three years.
I will release nine albums for you here, and completely drive the K-pop and Japanese pop back to their hometowns."
Cao Mang took out all of Jay Chou's "Qili Xiang" and "Bedtime Stories".
After Jay Chou left Holaday and founded his own company, Cao Mang believed that he would not be able to stay at Qilin Media for a long time, so he decided to squeeze Jay Chou dry at once. As for whether he will have the inspiration to release new songs in the future, that depends on Cao Mang
There is no relationship anymore.
Cao Mang played dozens of songs at once and scared Jay Chou out of his wits.
You can just get eight songs out of ten at a time. It would be terrible to get dozens of songs out at once. If the quantity is large, is the quality guaranteed?
At this time, Jay Chou was very, very resistant in his heart. He sensed Cao Mang's intention, but the other party in the contract was unable to resist.
"Let's take a look first and then talk." Cao Mang stood up and took out two bottles of Coke from the refrigerator behind him, and handed one to Director Jay Chou.
You don’t know if you don’t see it.
I was shocked when I saw it.
The more you look at it, the more thrilling it becomes.
The quality of every song is very good and very much in line with his taste.
"Boss, did you write these?" Jay Chou asked in surprise as he looked at the signature on the score.
Unexpectedly, the new boss can not only write lyrics but also compose music, and he likes the style of these songs very much, and even has a feeling that they are familiar.
"How do you think you wrote these songs when you were studying? Do you have the confidence to sing them well?" Cao Mang said with a smile.
"I'm confident, but releasing nine albums in three years is a bit too hasty. I'm worried that I won't be able to sing well." Jay Chou nodded.
Perhaps it was because the heroes cherish each other, or perhaps because Jay Chou really wanted to sing these songs, at this time he felt a little more favorable towards Cao Mang.
"Your contract will expire in three years. If these albums are not released within three years, we will not be able to find suitable people to sing for the time being." Cao Mang replied with a shrug.
Cao Mang's meaning is also obvious.
Young man, I am very optimistic about you. You are the most suitable for these songs, and others cannot sing them well.
"I understand, boss, if nothing happens, I want to go back first." Director Zhou was thoughtful after hearing Cao Mang's words.
"Well, I asked you to come to the company as soon as you got off the plane. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest." Cao Mang replied.
Jay Chou left Qilin Entertainment with his assistant and bodyguard. These entourages were arranged for him by Xu Huashan, and rented him a villa in Shenzhen City. Nine albums will be released in three years. Jay Chou will basically
It's impossible to turn around.
"Your contract expires in three years." This sentence kept lingering in his ears...
Jay Chou looked out the car window and fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking. When he returned to the villa, his assistant called him, and then Jay Chou came back to his senses.
Chapter completed!
