Chapter 218: Who was contacted
"I said, it's really not good, you can open a literary website and try it!" Zhang Xiaoqiang repeated what he had just said.
Hearing this, Frog Fish couldn't help but be a little confused, because he had never thought about it, before he came to Rongcheng to find Zhang Xiaoqiang, he already knew the consequences of this incident, that is, he would definitely not be able to engage in the industry related to online literature in the future.
The reason is very simple, because no matter which website you are in, the relationship between the website and the editor is very delicate, and Frogfish actually broke this subtlety for the sake of an author, and sued the owner of the website in court.
As for what Frogfish told Li Hu before, after this incident, there will be a lot of websites to grab their heads, which is actually a bluff at all.
Frogfish laughed: "Xiaoqiang, things are not as simple as you think, do you know how troublesome it is to open a literary website?"
"As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a trouble, two million should be enough!"
"It's definitely enough, but I don't have that much money. ”
"I can invest, you are solely responsible for the affairs of the website, I don't ask, but I want 51% of the shares, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the frogfish was almost choked by himself, and he couldn't believe it, so Zhang Xiaoqiang had to repeat what he just said.
However, he added: "If the website is not profitable, we will shut it down, and you don't have to bear any losses, you only need to pay a little time and energy in the early stage." ”
"Two million is not a small amount, and you believe me so much?"
"Of course, but I don't have so much money now, so I want to hand over all the copyrights of the book Liao Zhai Zhiwei to you, and you can help me find a publishing house, game adaptation, film and television adaptation, and I'll talk about it later. You can also see the quality of this book, it shouldn't be a problem to make a profit of two million, as long as we sell enough for two million, we will have the money to open a website. ”
For a long time, the frogfish didn't speak, because he never thought that Zhang Xiaoqiang would believe him so much.
"Don't you want to?"
"I need a little time. ”
"Good. I'll wait for your call. ”
After speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang hung up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, the frogfish fell into deep thought, and at this time he felt that he was carried away by happiness.
In fact, Frogfish has always hated the practices of some literary websites, and the author racked his brains and worked hard to write books, but no matter which author he authored, he would be cut leeks by the website.
Obviously the sales are very good in some channels, but the website does not inform the real sales data of the website at all, whether it is a big god or a medium author, this situation will be encountered.
The most shameful thing is that some authors have written explosive articles, and the monthly manuscript fee reaches 1 million, but the author's background only shows sales of 500,000, and it has to be 55 points with the website, and then deduct some related manuscript taxes, and the so-called channel fee of the website, and finally only 200,000 yuan in the hands of the author.
The website also brazenly advertised, saying that this website has a lot of traffic, and the recommended bitpipe is enough, but there is only a lack of good books, and if you want to make money, you will come to such and such a website.
Whenever I see this kind of similar website, the frogfish feels very disgusting, what is called being a watch and want to set up a memorial arch, this is!
Frogfish has always wanted to be transparent and fair to the author, but the mechanism of the website does not allow him to do so, not only Singularity, but also big websites such as Hengyue and China Literature.
Opening your own literary website will definitely be fair and transparent to all authors, but these frogfish are just thinking about it in their hearts.
When one day his dream really came true, Frogfish was a little hesitant.
Because Zhang Xiaoqiang trusted him too much, he was afraid of letting Zhang Xiaoqiang down.
However, he had never been so close to his dream.
For several days in a row, Frogfish was thinking about a question about whether to agree to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
And in the past few days, Zhang Xiaoqiang has not called him to ask him, because he knows that Zhang Xiaoqiang will definitely agree.
Finally, on the fifth day, Frogfish finally made up his mind, and then dialed Zhang Xiaoqiang's phone: "I promise you." ”
"Good. ”
"Print out the Tales and mail me a copy. ”
"No problem. ”
"Hmm. ”
The conversation between the two sides was simple and rude, and they didn't say a few words at all, but neither of them thought that it was from this time that a vibrant website began to be born, and later, at the suggestion of Zhang Xiaoqiang, they read the novel together to face the authors of the whole network, and also held the Internet Literature University, and also invited the Nobel Prize winner Mo Yu to serve as the honorary president of the Internet Literature University.
Of course, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately went to the printing shop, and the whole book of 700,000 words was typeset and printed, and then given to Frogfish.
After Frogfish got the printed Tales of Liaozhai, he dialed a phone number that he had saved for a long time but had never dialed.
"Hey, hello, is it Donald?"
"Who are you?" said an old, but deep-sounding voice from the other side.
"Hehe, Donald, you may not remember me, we met once at the literary exchange meeting held in Rongcheng three years ago, and we had a very pleasant chat with you at that time, and left your phone number. ”
"You're that little Meng! I remember you seemed to be an editor at a literary website. ”
Hearing that Donald still remembered him, Frogfish couldn't help but feel some surprise: "Yes, Donald, I didn't expect you to remember me." ”
"Of course I remember, we haven't seen each other since we separated three years ago, Xiao Meng, if you call me, there must be something!"
Frog Fish Frog Fish was a little embarrassed: "Sorry to disturb you to rest Donald." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you can just say it. ”
"That's Donald, I have a novel in my hand, it belongs to a collection of supernatural short stories, the quality is good, I think it can be published physically, when I was chatting with you at the time, I remember you said that you knew someone from the publishing house, can you help me contact it." ”
"That's it!" The old man hesitated for a moment: "I am indeed a director of Qilu Publishing House, and you also know that Qilu Publishing House has one of the best influences in Chinese publishing, and ordinary books really can't pass with them." ”
"Donald, I believe in my vision, this collection of short stories is really great. ”
"Where are you now?"
"Just in Rongcheng, I remember that Old Donald is also from Rongcheng. ”
"Hehe, you come to my house, bring the book, and I'll send you the address later. ”
"Good. ”
The influence of Qilu Publishing House, of course Frogfish knows, if this matter is done, it would be great, after ending the conversation with Donald, he dialed Zhang Xiaoqiang's phone again: "Xiaoqiang, tell you a good news, do you know who I contacted?"
