Chapter 132： Musical Resources

Di Yi was incredibly dazzling.

A single video instantly dominated all trending topics.

Over a billion views!

The image of Di Yi among all netizens was twofold:

Firstly, his voice was extraordinarily captivating.

Secondly, he was a true superstar who had risen from the ranks of the common people.

From obscurity to universal acclaim.

Every word and action of his stirred the nerves of millions.

He himself was a symbol of defiance and inspiration!

With Di Yi leading the way,

Those singers who had long been silent among the people could no longer hesitate!

It is said that true talent lies among the common folk.

In the vast country of Huaxia, with its population of over a billion,

Are there only a handful of celebrity singers?

Of course not!

Hidden among the masses, many lack not talent but opportunity!

A group of bar singers drowning their sorrows in small taverns,

No longer hesitated.

They returned to their rooms, rummaged through their belongings, and finally found the tiny USB drives covered in dust.

These contained dozens of songs they had recorded over their many years in the industry, and today, they no longer wished to keep them hidden!

There were also many others who resolutely walked into recording studios,

Determined to record the songs they had sung in their hearts hundreds of times and then upload them to Gemini!

The news of Gemini's music collection spread quickly through the amateur singer community, and many were eager to try!

The Huaxia land, with its centuries of cultural heritage, is deeply profound, beyond anyone's judgment!

In the Creator's office,

The once anxious and bewildered A-Jia was suddenly stunned.

He saw a continuous stream of notifications in the 'Music Master' backend, indicating new submissions!

Ding, ding, ding...

The notifications became a constant chime.

In the blink of an eye, the number of submissions surpassed a thousand, and before he could react, it exceeded ten thousand!

What surprised A-Jia even more was that,

The 'Music Master' program was extraordinarily powerful!

In about three minutes,

It could fully analyze a music piece!

Checking for duplicates, evaluating, scoring, categorizing, signing, or returning – all done in one go!

Even if a music piece did not meet the standards and could not be signed,

'Music Master' could still provide constructive feedback!

Pointing out the song's shortcomings and offering professional revision suggestions!

Along with a heartwarming and encouraging message!

It didn't dampen anyone's spirits!

In just half an hour,

Gemini's signed song library had already grown to five thousand pieces!

A-Jia, somewhat excited, clicked on some of the high-scoring pieces.

The next moment, gentle music began to play.

A delicate acoustic guitar, a dreamy chant!

He had never heard it before, and it was particularly pleasing!

Even A-Jia couldn't help but be captivated!

Listening to song after song,

These pieces were either warm, inspirational, or deeply emotional!

The genres included pop, folk, rock, soul, road songs, rap...

Covering all fields!

Each one was a masterpiece, each one was melodious and beautiful!

And all of them were being released for the first time!

Di Yi's words came true – these were truly long-buried treasures!

Even someone like A-Jia, who wasn't a professional in the music industry,

Could clearly tell that many of these songs would soon become hits across the nation!

A-Jia's heart was filled with excitement.

And a deep sense of realization!

It was only at this moment that he understood Liu Di's true plan!

The real tactic, or rather the trump card, was here!

'Music Master' was a supremely powerful talent scout for music!

It allowed all the underappreciated folk singers to showcase their talents and transform into priceless gems!

These singers,

Were definitely a new force to be reckoned with, a force that could once again move people's hearts!

As for Di Yi's identity,

For him to speak up at such a critical moment...

A-Jia had once considered it but then quickly dismissed the thought!

If it was truly as he imagined, his good brother Liu Di was nothing short of an enigma!

A terrifying level of power, beyond comprehension!

But since Liu Di didn't say anything,

A-Jia chose to keep it to himself!

'Music Master' could almost run perfectly on its own.

A-Jia watched for a moment and then instructed his colleagues to continue overseeing it.

As for himself, he grabbed his phone and headed out.

Because, just now, he had received a call from Liu Di.

There was a temporary task!

At the Puyu Grand Hotel in Haishi.

In the VIP suite on the top floor.

This place was guarded by special personnel at both the front and back, and only those with truly distinguished identities could dine here.

The room was secluded, making it an ideal place for discussions.

And today's guests at this table were none other than Vice President Li Daode of the Penguin Group and three top network music platform executives!

President Zhao of Qianqian Music, President Wang of Yiyun Music, and President Ding of Xiamei Music!

However,

Because they hadn't brought their assistants, and out of face-saving concerns, they hadn't checked their phones.

At this moment, they were still unaware of Di Yi joining Gemini Music and triggering a submission frenzy!

Li Daode gently played with the cutlery in front of him.

Backed by the Penguin empire, he was undoubtedly the most important person at the table today!

"Gentlemen, I'll get straight to the point."

Li Daode squinted at the others, "You're aware of how formidable Gemini's capabilities are, right? And you're also aware that Gemini is venturing into online music, right?"

The other three frowned and nodded hesitantly.

"The fact that you're all here today shows that you understand my intentions."

Li Daode's expression turned grim, "We must put our competition aside for now and join forces to crush Gemini this time!"

"Otherwise, none of us will survive!"

The other three hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slightly!

"That's good!"

Li Daode smiled, "Next, our four companies will closely monitor Gemini Music's operations. As soon as they infringe on any song, I will immediately gather evidence!"

"But!"

Li Daode's face twisted as he said, "We need to be patient. First, we wait until they infringe on at least a thousand songs. Second, let them infringe on songs from each of our four companies."

"Then..."

Li Daode chuckled, "We will simultaneously file a collective lawsuit against them, ensuring they are obliterated in one blow!"

There was a moment of silence before Li Daode raised his glass of red wine and said loudly, "Gentlemen, what do you think?"

The other three seemed to hesitate.

This plan was ruthless!

But...

Gemini's development capabilities were feared by all!

They couldn't just watch their companies slowly decline, or even go bankrupt!

Business is like war; it's a matter of life and death!

Finally, the three gritted their teeth.

They raised their glasses together, "President Li, we'll follow your lead this time!"

Just as they were about to clink glasses...

There was a rapid knock at the door!

Li Daode frowned.

Which waiter was so oblivious?

Click.

The door opened.

A uniformed officer walked in, frowning as he scanned the room, his gaze finally settling on Li Daode.

"Vice President Li Daode of Penguin Group, correct?"

Li Daode was stunned, "Yes, that's me..."

The officer pulled out a court summons and said loudly, "Your platform, Penguin Music, is suspected of copyright infringement. Please cooperate with our investigation!"

Li Daode's eyes widened in disbelief, "Officer, you must be mistaken! Our platform only hosts legitimately licensed content!"

The officer shook his head, "Singing superstar Di Yi signed with Gemini Music half an hour ago, yet your platform still has two of Mr. Di's songs available for streaming!"

"Therefore, the Creator company has officially filed a lawsuit against Penguin for infringement!"

"What?"

"No way..."

Crash!

The wine glass in Li Daode's hand slipped and shattered!

Before Li Daode could process what was happening,

A group of reporters rushed in from outside!

Click, click, click!

Cameras flashed rapidly!

Several microphones were immediately thrust into Li Daode's face.

"President Li, can you comment on why a company of your size would commit such a disgraceful act of copyright infringement?"

"President Li, was this infringement done under your orders?"

"I..."

Click, click, click!

The cameras captured the moment – the vice president of Penguin Group, Li Daode, with a bewildered expression on his face!
