Faced with He Chen's candid words, Lin Bao and Zheng Rong looked at each other and did not answer.

Neither of them expected that He Chen, as the person in charge of the Galaxy Network, would say such a frank thing.

I'm not sure what He Chen meant by coming over this time.

"Teacher Lin Bao, Teacher Zheng Rong. ”

He Chen was also able to guess the thoughts of the two people opposite, and said with a smile, "Actually, I came here this time to communicate frankly with the two of you. First of all, let me state that I am also responsible for the fact that Yinhe.com has come to this point. But it's really something I built step by step, and I still have feelings for it anyway, so I hope it can go on or even better. In addition, when I came over today, it was actually the old Mr. Ke of the Tang Dynasty who gave me advice, and he told me that if Yinhe wants to really go down the road of online literature and take the right direction, come and talk to Mr. Lin Bao. ”

Hearing He Chen say this, Lin Bao was slightly surprised.

This passage is not like what a person of a status like He Chen can say.

In fact, Zheng Rong also talked to Lin Bao before.

From his own resume, He Chen actually has a direct understanding of online articles.

Moreover, with his ability, he naturally knows how to go if Yinhe wants to fundamentally change the status quo. He himself knows it. It's just that with his current identity and status, even if he knew this method, he would definitely not go this way.

Therefore, for the future of Yinhe.com, Lin Bao's studio is not about the next decision of Yinhe.com, or He Chen's rescue behavior, but the future of the entire network.

Yinhe.com, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if it declines, that foundation is worth investing in Lin Bao Studio.

But I didn't expect that He Chen would say such a thing when he came over today.

"Teacher Lin Bao, Teacher Zheng Rong, please believe in my sincerity. ”

He Chen looked at the expressions of the two people, knowing that they still didn't believe their words, and then continued, "Just like I said before, in fact, I myself was the first batch of practitioners in the online literature industry, and at the same time, I was also the first batch of authors, I know the future of this industry, and its real way out." So, I came here today with all my sincerity, please believe in my sincerity. Yinhe.com, I bought it from a few founders, but I brought it up step by step, and I still have this feeling. Therefore, I have also deeply reflected on the fact that Yinhe has come to this point. If I have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Lin Bao, no matter what the decision is, I am willing to consider it! I think Mr. Lin Bao and Mr. Zheng Rong also hope that it will be better, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Hearing this, Lin Bao nodded.

He paused slightly, thought about the wording, and then said: "Mr. He's purpose is to make the current Galaxy Network stabilize its decline and catch up with the other two, or do you want to really do online articles?"

"Of course, it's really a business of online writing!"

He Chen said.

"Then what do you want to do, I think, Mr. He, you should know. ”

Lin Bao looked at him.

"This ......"

"This answer, I think, Mr. He, if you really understand the online literature industry and have really engaged in this industry, you should know that the content industry should never involve capital too much. Especially in the online literature industry, now, it is not suitable for radicalization, and it is not suitable for taking the road of direct derivation. ”

Lin Bao looked at him, "Because, in itself, it is only a stage of development and extension. Even if the entire online literature industry has come to a state of steady development, it should not let too much capital power affect the creation of content. ”

Listening to Lin Bao's words, He Chen was a little silent.

When Lin Bao said this, he knew why Mr. Ke asked him to come to Lin Bao.

It seems that Lin Bao not only has a deep understanding of music and movies, but also has a unique and point-to-point understanding of online literature.

What Lin Bao said, in fact, is He Chen's own understanding of online literature and his own concept of online literature development.

However, this concept of development does not take into account the profitability and capital financing of the entire company.

And He Chen has always compromised with the views of the board of directors and the idea of compromising with the capital forces behind it, because he considered it from the perspective of a company's profitability and capital attraction.

After all, he is not the editor-in-chief, but the CEO.

And in the case of competition from such three major online text websites, if you do not seek continuous financing and support from capital, you will soon be thrown behind.

Now, whether it is for Yinhe.com or for He Chen, it has reached the point of making a choice.

"I understand the reason why Lao Ke always asked you to come to me. ”

Lin Bao continued, "The same words, two years ago, I conveyed them to the Tang people through Yunfan. IP development is a commercial matter. However, the web itself is an artistic thing. These are two things that should be separated. It is not appropriate to confuse, and the former should not be allowed to affect the development of the latter as a whole. And now, in such an era, it is not appropriate to prematurely care about the importance of the former. The development of online literature itself, whether from a long-term perspective or from the perspective of artistic development itself, should be viewed independently. It's like what I talked to Yunfan about before, art, you need to have a space for savage growth and freedom. Online literature, whether it is like its own positioning, is a commercial literature, but it is literature after all, and it needs to have a literary cultivation and development direction. And the others are all based on such a basis, germination and consideration. From my own point of view, if the current Yinhe Network, if you really want to fundamentally solve the current predicament, or even go further, you need to understand, as an online website, what should be done, what is the most important? should listen to the ideas of the front-line online literature practitioners, to listen to their thoughts and cognition of the creation of the entire online text, not just from the perspective of business and capital. ”

In fact, in Lin Bao's view, the problem is actually very clear.

In the end, it is the development of online literature or the development of a capital industry.

In fact, it is still early for the development of online texts, and more funding and encouraging development are needed.

The derivation and development of online texts need to be viewed dialectically. There are also some suitable for adaptation, which can speed up the steps of adaptation. However, on the whole, many directions are not suitable for such a point in time, as the key point of the development and decision-making of the whole company.

"But ......"

Hearing this, He Chen hesitated slightly, "From the company's point of view, if ...... After all, this is the perspective of a group of companies, and if content does not show its value, then its development, or the growth of electronic subscriptions in terms of the Internet, in fact, will not be able to really play its due strength. ”

"Mr. He, this is your decision as a company leader. ”

Zheng Rong next to her said, "What you need to judge is how to measure the development of the web itself and the value of IP development at this stage." Whether to operate the web content itself as an independent direction, or to treat it as a vassal of IP development. and, the question of the point in time. ”

"Hmm. ”

He Chen nodded.

He basically understood Lin Bao and Zheng Rong's point of view.

In fact, this is also a point that he has been struggling with.

The development of online texts has not reached a moment when it is necessary to take content as a vassal and then take IP development as a key point.

Obviously, two years ago, the board of directors and the capital behind it felt that the time had come.

However, this judgment is wrong.

And now, whether this time has come or not is even more difficult to judge.

But as Lin Bao said, art is art, just like traditional publishing, traditional adaptation will not directly affect the creator's creation. This is actually very important.

An important direction of online literature is the accumulation of stories and content.

The reason why the three major online websites are so optimistic now is the accumulation of their stories.

This is fundamental.

If this fundamental is lost, online texts will not be able to truly produce content suitable for development in a continuous and endless stream.

This is something that many online practitioners can see.

But the power of capital, can't wait.

"I see. ”

He Chen nodded, "Actually, the two teachers' thoughts are the same as my own. If Galaxy wants to really develop, it still has to take a direction that focuses on content. It should be developed independently of IP development. ”

"Well, in fact, the current popularity and influence of the website, if from the perspective of the savage growth of art that Mr. Lin Bao said, is not really weak. The real weakness lies in the development and accumulation of the content itself. ”

Zheng Rong said, "My side and Mr. Lin Bao have the same opinion, how to go after the galaxy, in fact, even if you sell the galaxy in the end, we are still optimistic about this website." But what do you think? How do you treat it?"

"Understood. ”

He Chen nodded, was silent for a while, and said, "If, I mean if, I want to reform the galaxy network, that is, from the direction that the two teachers said, to carry out reform, I don't know if the two teachers will support me?"

Zheng Rong glanced at Lin Bao next to him, and then said, "Then it depends on Mr. He, whether you have the courage or not." ”

"Yes! I have decided to completely rectify the galaxy network!"

He Chen gritted his teeth and said.

Actually, the decision wasn't so easy to make.

Thorough rectification will definitely touch the interests of that part of the capital, and the capital behind it will definitely not let him do this.

And he, a CEO, is currently the person in charge of the entire website, but he does not have absolute control, and even, to some extent, has to bear such responsibility, but he is a bit against the trend.

If it were from the perspective of a CEO, from the perspective of an investor and a manager, he would never have made such a determination.

This is also the reason why Lin Bao and Zheng Rong were a little surprised that he came over and talked about these issues.

However, as a person in charge who really loves the entire industry and the company that he has led all the way, He Chen knows that he must make this decision.

Even if it is, there are many difficulties!

"Good!"

Lin Bao smiled and said, "If Mr. He has such courage, I will support you." Aunt Rong will also support you. ”

Zheng Rong nodded: "The specific operation, after that, I will talk to Mr. He." ”

"Good!"

He Chen also clenched his fists, a little excited.

In fact, as an investor and manager, he has been in the industry for more than ten years, and the reason why he was able to get to such a position is completely a calm and rational judgment of him, and such a judgment today, in fact, that, from a short-term point of view, is very irrational.

The galaxy network is not completely under his control right now.

And what he has to do now is to change the strategic decision of the entire galaxy network.
