Actually I just want to act

Chapter 1458 The final swan song
Therefore, Fang Jiming told Feng Wenyao that this year should be the last year for the mass production of genuine tapes, and it is estimated that no one will care about the tapes soon.

Many people don't believe it, but Feng Wenyao believes in Fang Jiming's judgment.

Because it can be seen from the sales of repeaters that the sales of repeaters in China have fallen by more than 30% year-on-year, and even internal meetings have been held in China to discuss whether to cut off this production line.Later, after really voting, Shenzhou cut off the repeater production line.The Shenzhou repeater, which has been popular for a long time, has become history.Not only that, the major official flagship stores have started price reduction promotions, and told all consumers that there will be no repeaters in China in the future.

The peers were overjoyed when they heard the news.

You know, Shenzhou repeater is the benchmark in the repeater industry. It has won more than 20% of the market with extremely low cost and low price.Now that Shenzhou is about to announce its withdrawal, all colleagues are rejoicing.But Xu Zhuhua has great sympathy for these people.You know, from the perspective of storage media, the function of magnetic tape has fallen behind, and it is no longer suitable for the development of future society.

In the future society, not to mention CDs, the memory of mobile phones alone has exceeded 8G, which can hold nearly 500 songs and thousands of pictures.Such memory is enough to replace tapes and CDs.Not to mention, the general capacity of MP3 and MP4 is now 4G, and even the memory of some mobile phones has reached 16G.

In this case, it is not necessary to insist on the production of repeaters.

Of course, the price of mobile phones with more than 16G memory is also expensive.You must know that a mobile phone with 16 memory is a storage module combined with two 8G memory chips, which is thousands of dollars more expensive than a mobile phone with 8G memory, and this is still the cost price.According to the profiteers in China... ahem, kindness, at the cost of thousands of yuan, they would sell it for 2000 yuan without any counter-offer.

So, it is good to have a large memory, but the wallet is also empty, right?

But it also reflects a question, that is, how useful is the storage medium of the magnetic tape?
Anyway, Shenzhou held a meeting. Under the explanation of the researchers, everyone understood that with the development of technology, the memory will be further expanded.For example, the U disk can now reach a storage capacity of 16GB.Over time, it is not impossible to exceed 100GB capacity.

Even, someone proposed the concept of mobile hard disk.

Anyway, just four words, bigger and bigger.

That being the case, only 10-song tapes can be stored, so what does the future hold?
That must have been eliminated!
Tapes have been eliminated, what is the use of repeaters?It's better to add the function of the repeater to the point reader.

So, if the repeater is gone, how much time will there be for tape albums?
Hearing Fang Jiming's persuasion, Feng Wenyao decided to start stocking less tape albums and more CD albums, including CDs and VCDs, from next year.Not only that, but we also need to focus on the CRBT business, digital album business, concert business, etc., to develop in an all-round way, and we can't stick to the release of albums.

Feng Wenyao felt that his business failure back then had a lot to do with his failure to keep up with the development of the times.

If Fang Jiming hadn't made a point, he probably thought that the times were static, and if he continued to stock tape albums, it would be a joke.

This time, it may really be the last carnival of the physical album.

Fang Jiming remembers that Jay Chou's "Chopin in November" album sold a total of 550 million copies.This album was also released in 2005.

The previous year's "Qilixiang" album sold more than 600 million copies.

The previous year's "Ye Huimei" album had a cumulative sales of 820 million copies.

In other words, the sales of physical albums are going from bad to worse.Knowing this, Feng Wenyao no longer struggles. If the record company wants to survive, it must diversify its operations.This is not a joke, but the result of the pressure of survival.This is also the reason why Fang Jiming chose to open the digital album.

Not only the digital album, Fang Jiming also used tricks, just like QQ Music in his previous life, the MV cannot be downloaded, and the songs can only be listened to on QQ Music after downloading, because the audio format is very unique, only QQ Music can seamlessly unzip.In this way, the digital album is highly anti-theft.

Of course, after the CD is sold, it will be difficult to guarantee the anti-theft performance of the MV.

If there is another caring person, just take out the audio and make it into MP3 format, that can also be spread.

It can only be said that anti-theft is really only for gentlemen, not villains.

Anyway, it has to be done.

Otherwise, just look at the previous life. In 2005, the cumulative sales of albums in mainland China was about 5490 million. By 2006, the cumulative sales of albums in mainland China was only about 2300 million.In other words, the record market is gradually shrinking, which has a lot to do with the tape's withdrawal from the market.

Back then, Fang Jiming could still see cassette tapes on the street, but in 2008, he could no longer see them.

In other words, 2007 was regarded as the last year of tape, and by 2008, it was already a flashback. In 2009, the memory capacity of mobile phones generally exceeded 8G, so there is no need to worry about the capacity problem, and there is no need for this tape to exist.Since then, tapes have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

Of course, magnetic tape is not useless. After research and development, magnetic tape can be used as a single-channel storage medium, which has a larger capacity than hard disks.As for the disadvantage, there is also one, which can only be found along the way, which is very time-consuming.However, it has large reserves and low cost. It is considered a special storage medium and has a certain scope of application.

However, in the field of records, the era of tapes is finally coming to an end.

2006 may be the last swan song.

"The distribution of goods this time must be comprehensive and go down to townships." Fang Jiming said seriously, "The best thing is to use the subsidence point of Shunfeng Express, and at most give some warehouse fees..." Yes, Shunfeng The sinking point of express delivery in townships is not self-operated, but franchised.There is no way, there are too many villages and towns in this country, no matter how rich Fang Jiming is, he can't do it like this.Besides, Shunfeng Express is not all his business.

"Manager Feng also operates in the same way, he is very confident this time..."

The secretary is also very confident, Fang Jiming's talent is too outstanding.

Fang Jiming thought for a while and said, "Don't expect too much, the sales of the album this time may be cut in half."

"No way?"

The secretary couldn't believe it. Last year, it sold 500 million copies. The tape factory almost couldn't laugh out loud.If it is cut in half this year, the tape factory will probably cry. They have just expanded their production scale!
Fang Jiming said leisurely, "Tapes are going to be eliminated."

"No way?" The secretary was taken aback, "Can the tape be eliminated?"

Fang Jiming smiled and said: "How fresh, let alone tapes, radios are going to be eliminated." Fang Jiming stood up, looked out the window, and said: "The great era is coming, the era of mobile Internet..."
