Awkward.

Indeed, all six of them were extremely embarrassed. But they still walked in bravely.

"Still young..."

In this place, other people seemed to have nothing. After all, there are not many people now. Lily sighed softly, which was everyone's wish.

If it were before, it would be even crazier, right?

Catherine suddenly thought of such a thing. If it were in the past, Lily would probably really let everyone "love" her at this time, and then the fun would be great. This kind of adventure sometimes seems real.

1 childish".

"Really, what are we here for?"

Catherine led everyone to sit at the bar.

．

1Excuse me, what would you like to drink?"

the waiter asked.

"A glass of cold beer," Ada said first.

After the result, six beers were served.

"It's no different from an ordinary bar..." Ada used to frequent bars. In her opinion, such a bar seemed to be no different from an ordinary bar.

If there is any difference, it is that the role of men in this place is played by women in the Jin Department.

．

．

Just like now, on the nearby stage, a "couple" is singing together.

If you change the gender of one of the people from female to male, it will be no different from an ordinary bar.

Although others seemed very curious, Catherine was indifferent.

——The fantasy of "having love" in the past has turned into nothingness at this moment. The reality is cruel, we all have to learn to accept it and sigh secretly.

What is being sung on the stage is Elvis Presley’s new song.

Since joining Angel TV, Elvis Presley's status has gradually begun to improve, and his recent albums have also been very popular.

Of course, there is another very important reason, and that is because of the popularity of "American Idol".

Everyone's favorite is Elvis, and the Elvis of this era is worthy of his name.

1. With the title of "Singing God", Presley's status has been raised to a new height with the praise of many imitators and followers.

"Sure enough, Elvis Presley's songs are the best."

Lily smiled.

"Kachi should be able to see Elvis every day - if she wants."

Lyrella's words caused all five people to focus on Catherine.

"This is unlikely. Although there is no problem with me wanting to see him, I don't have that much time.1,

Catherine really doesn't understand the thoughts of these groupies.

"You are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are!"

Faced with their complaints, Catherine, Elvis' boss, just shrugged.

"Actually..." Lairila suddenly scratched her head:

．

1 This year I also participated in the audition for "American Idol", but failed. I met Mr. Presley at that time!"

"If you really want to see Elvis, I can take you to see him at any time."

Catherine pouted.

This way there will be no sense of accomplishment." These are Lily's words.

(What on earth are you thinking about? Let’s go to karaoke and sing together later!”

Catherine suddenly suggested.

"Kara," what is that? "The others looked at Catherine strangely.

Catherine was also stunned.

Is there no karaoke so far?

No way?

Catherine remembers that karaoke was born in the middle of the 1980s. This seems a bit strange, right?

(By the way, karaoke seems to be created by the Japanese. Karaoke originated in Japan. Due to Japanese customs, if a man goes home too early, his neighbors will look down on him and think that he works all day without even socializing and returns home every day. Coming home too early has become the subject of jokes, so many Japanese men gather in bars or teahouses after get off work and chat until very late before going home. Later, they gradually feel that they should find some new time-killing projects. Just drink in the bar and use simple things such as TV microphones that can be used to sing. Later, with the development of technology, it evolved into the karaoke that we have today.

To say that karaoke really appeared, it seems to have been in 1971, not in the mid-1960s. It was just an idea I had before, and it slightly confused reality and illusion." Catherine scratched her head.

Maybe this is a business opportunity?!

Since there is no so-called "karaoke" now, wouldn't it be extremely profitable to make a karaoke by yourself?! "Karaoke,7 is an accompaniment system in which singers can participate with pre-recorded music accompaniment

Singing. "Karaoke" can beautify and polish the singer's voice through sound processing. When combined with music accompaniment, it becomes a seamless stereo song. This accompaniment method brings great benefits to singing lovers.

Comes great convenience and pleasure.

But at the beginning of the century,.

1Karaoke "has gone from being a mere system to becoming synonymous with an industry.

Karaoke is very popular, but it has a lot of problems in the United States.

Americans have always attached great importance to copyright. In the future, when karaoke becomes popular, although the United States does not have copyright protection measures specifically for the karaoke industry, the United States has clear regulations on song copyright: as long as any song is used for public performance, it will be copyrighted.

Relevant fees must be paid to the copyright owner. Karaoke is a profit-making activity of public performance, so relevant regulations must be followed.

In the United States, half or even 75% of the income of many songwriters comes from copyright compensation for public performances of songs and novels, rather than from the sale of musical works.

Therefore, the cost in this area may be a bit of a headache.

The Japanese invented the karaoke machine. For a long time, karaoke has been popular in Japan, South Korea and China, and has spread to five continents. There are also karaoke machines and karaoke tapes for sale in the United States, but few Americans like it as much as the Japanese.

Sing karaoke. This is not to say that Americans don’t like singing - you must know that Catherine’s talent show, “American Idol”, is super popular in the United States and even around the world.

The small number of people means that the cost advantage is not obvious, and it is even possible that the copyright fees that need to be paid will become a burden.

So it seems difficult to succeed in karaoke in the United States.

．

．

But in this way, it seems that some people are not willing to accept the d network.

Historically, the inventor of karaoke was a Japanese named Daisuke Inoue.

He was born into a family of ordinary employees in the brigade. Due to his poor family background, he began to work as a drummer when he was in school to earn living expenses. In 1941, Inoue asked a mechanic to make a "karaoke" according to his ideas.

, (that is, the prototype of "unmanned band" in Japanese). The first 11 karaoke machines were quickly put on the bar counter, and the songs played were also recorded one after another. Inoue Daisuke used the profit from renting the karaoke machine,

The second and third generation karaoke machines and integrated models were developed. With the introduction of large-scale development by some major electrical appliance manufacturers, karaoke gradually entered the world.

It's just that Inoue didn't have much patent awareness, or he didn't care about Karaho's patent at all, so his products were constantly being copied.

When he was in Japan, Daisuke Inoue had already made karaoke very popular in less than three years after he invented it. At this time, large companies were stealing Inoue's ideas and launching their own models. When someone suggested that he apply,

By the time he applied for a patent, it was already too late. Inoue admitted: “I never thought about applying for a patent.”

According to statistics, Inoue Daisuke lost more than 150 million US dollars in patents alone.

This is just the loss of patents.

Adding in various other losses, Inoue probably made a lot less money.

Although I can't make a lot of money in the United States, it doesn't mean I can't make money. The Asian market is huge!

This is really good.

The principles of karaoke are not difficult to understand.

The earliest karaoke was the 8-juke (eight-channel jukebox). The 8-juke was a red and white wooden box equipped with a microphone, amplifier and eight-track cassette player. The instrument dials were labeled in English.

In order to look "fashionable", Inoue used this prototype karaoke as a drum accompaniment for a band without a singer, and played it in the salon when customers who wanted to sing requested songs. Later, he thought that he could borrow a machine to achieve the accompaniment function.

.

But now that it's Catherine, everything has to change. With the strength of JK Company, it can create an existence that is more advanced than this original karaoke. Complete gold is not a problem.

Due to various reasons, it is impossible for karaoke to become popular in the United States, but it is not necessarily the case in Japan and other places. Therefore, Catherine's idea is to capture the markets of Japan and Virginia first.

And once this thing is finished, it can gradually develop along with the market of its own game console.

If she wants to attack the Japanese industry, she should be surprised. Catherine wrote "Karaoke1" in the notebook she carries with her - she has replaced it with countless notebooks, but every notebook

, Catherine has kept them well, and they contain some very important events, or things that Catherine thought of when she had a flash of inspiration.

"Kate, what good thing did you think of again?" Catherine's notebook is no longer a secret. She likes to write down inspirations, and everyone around her knows it. "A money-making idea n" Catherine smiled and said nothing.

In fact, even if she explained it to them, she couldn't explain it clearly in the end. After all, it was a new thing.

1Is this your first time here?”

At this moment, a voice came from the side and there was another Mingzhi.
