Chapter 1746 Cancel membership
"What Mr. Kahn said is a way, but I think we should try to maintain market share while reducing losses. Therefore, for this price reduction, I think it is more appropriate for members to drop to about $8 per month."
p>
Everyone nodded, Felic's suggestion was good.
In fact, netizens and listeners are all cheap people, no matter how strong their opinions are on music platforms.
As long as you lower the price, they will still say "it smells really good".
At $8, this price is already considered very low.
Coupled with the download fee, there is no problem in keeping the balance, and you can even make a small profit.
But Mai Liwen frowned.
"Reducing the price, I agree with this method, but I am not satisfied with the price."
Everyone was stunned, what do you mean?
Do you think the reduction is too little?
Sure enough, Mai Liwen said: "Reducing it to US$8 seems to be a bit lacking in sincerity."
What do you mean?
Mai Liwen said: "What I mean is that the membership system should be cancelled. You can listen to all songs without being a member. You only need to pay for downloading."
"What?"
Richard was the first to jump up and was unwilling.
"I object. This is simply ridiculous. Cancel membership? Do you know how much our losses will be? Nearly 30 million members bring in hundreds of millions of yuan in income every month. Have you ever calculated? This will cost us
Broken bones?"
"Ms. Mai Liwen, you need to calm down. Although the situation is indeed not good now, if you cancel your membership, the loss will be too great."
"I object. The membership system cannot be cancelled. Once it is cancelled, even if we maintain our market share, we may not be able to continue operating due to lack of successors."
"That's crazy. What's the difference between this and losing all market share?"
Seeing everyone's indignant discussions, Mai Liwen's face remained calm.
These short-sighted guys have never considered the seriousness of the consequences.
This is also a helpless move of hers to abandon her car to save her handsome man.
As long as the market share is maintained, the money lost will be earned back sooner or later.
If you can't even protect the market, why should you talk about losing money?
I can kill you in one go.
If the market disappears, how much energy and financial resources will be invested in starting anew?
And it may not be effective.
This group of people only sees immediate benefits and does not consider the future at all. No wonder the "flywheel" can't do the job of "Wei Ting".
"WeiTing" has focused on low prices since it entered Xizhou. Membership is only 5 yuan a month, and downloading only costs 50 cents.
At this time of life and death, these people still care about temporary gains and losses.
Mai Liwen said: "Not only will the membership be cancelled, but the download fees will also be reduced."
What?
Everyone was stunned.
Are you trying to kill the "flywheel platform"?
"No, absolutely no, I object!" Richard was the first to jump out and object.
He frowned and said: "Downloads have been reduced and membership is free, so what do we eat and drink? What do we use to buy copyrights? Will those damn celebrities agree to the current share? They won't. If the share is lowered, they will run away
Go to other platforms..."
Mai Liwen said: "Where to go? If not at Feiluan, go to Weiting? The download fee for Weiting is 50 cents. Those who want to go have already gone."
"We can tell them about the current difficulties and promise that when the situation improves, we can increase their share in one year to make up for the current losses."
"What about our losses?" Richard said emotionally: "Can we survive until that time?"
Everyone looked at Mai Liwen and shook their heads.
Mai Liwen said: "I have decided, just do as I say. If you feel it is inappropriate, please call now!"
The senior executives under the Flywheel platform are all transferred from various platforms.
Not only is he responsible for management, but he also represents the interests of major platforms.
If anything happens, of course I will discuss it with the original platform.
At this point, Flywheel is not as good as Weiting.
Weiting is recruiting again. Only three senior executives have been transferred from the three major platforms, and the rest have been re-recruited later.
There are not so many constraints.
After Mai Liwen finished speaking, everyone did not hide it, took out their phones and started to contact their bosses.
It would be better to leave the conference room and call in the corridor or another room.
People like Richard made the call right in front of Mai Liwen.
And speaking of it, she looked filled with righteous indignation, as if Mai Liwen was so evil that she pushed everyone into the fire pit.
Mai Liwen watched all this calmly.
He specifically asked these people to call.
Bill and Wall watched the scene with him and knew what was going on.
If they were not short-sighted, they would agree with themselves after all.
As for the rest of "Ritu" music, there has been little movement, and it seems that they don't care much about these things.
But "Ritu" music has been going very steadily.
Not long after, everyone finished the phone call, but Bill and others did not call Mai Liwen immediately.
Obviously, everyone is also weighing the pros and cons.
Within ten minutes, Bill was the first to call.
"Mai Liwen, I support your approach, just go ahead and do it!" At this point, Bill sighed.
Xiazhou Music Platform is gaining momentum, and Enron is adding fuel to the fire.
They have almost no escape route.
Now we just have to give it a try. Whether we live or die, it depends on this time.
Mai Liwen took a long breath and said, "Bill, thank you!"
She meant what she said. If Bill didn't support it, Wall might not support it either, and all the things she did would be in vain.
Fortunately, Bill has taken a stand.
Not long after, Wall also called to support her in doing so.
On the other hand, "Ritu" Music didn't express anything, and it felt completely laissez-faire.
Mai Liwen can't care so much.
It was announced on the spot that after 12 o'clock, all members of the platform will be cancelled, and will enter the refund process.
And the download fee will be 30 cents.
Everyone loves free lunch, and canceling membership can win over many people.
At the same time, the cheaper download fees are likely to drive an increase in download volume.
Relying on quantity to make up for the lack of amount, I hope it will succeed.,
In fact, she herself was not very sure.
After Mai Liwen made the announcement at the meeting, she didn’t bother to look at the faces of these executives and directly announced that the meeting was adjourned.
After 12 o'clock, while everyone was still cursing on the "Flywheel Platform".
"Flywheel Platform" suddenly released a message.
As soon as this news came out, it attracted everyone's attention.
Feilun platform cancels the membership system, and all recharged members will be refunded within 30 working days.
It was also announced that the download fee will be reduced to 30 cents per song.
The generosity of Flywheel Platform scared everyone.
Those who shouted for refunds were immediately speechless.
Chapter completed!
