Chapter 297: Strategizing
Back in Shanghai, Lin Weidong went to Liu Limin's office, and then handed over the contract of the Tang family to her.
Regarding Lin Weidong's decision, Liu Limin obviously felt incomprehensible.
Liu Limin asked with a straight face: "Weidong, the most expensive author I signed is only 20 yuan per thousand words, do you know what the concept of 30 yuan per thousand words is?"
Lin Weidong nodded and said: "I know, if he updates 10,000 words a day, it will be 300 yuan a day, 9,000 yuan a month, about 100,000 yuan a year, and about 500,000 yuan in five years." ”
Liu Limin frowned, and said angrily: "Then you still sign so expensive? Isn't 500,000 yuan money?"
Lin Weidong said solemnly: "Senior sister, don't worry, the third young man of the Tang family is definitely worth this price, if you don't believe it, I can bet with you that he will definitely become the top card of our Century Chinese Network." ”
Liu Limin said angrily and funny: "What about the top card! Do you think we are Century Chinese Network and Qinglou?"
Seeing that Liu Limin's face eased a little, Lin Weidong took her in his arms and said, "Maybe you think now that 30 yuan for a thousand words is a bit expensive, but I can assure you that it won't be long before the third major of the Tang family will become the most profitable writer on our century Chinese network." ”
After listening to Lin Weidong's explanation, Liu Limin felt a lot better, and asked with a smile: "Are you so confident?"
Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's so confident." ”
Morning, September 3rd.
"The three young men of the Tang family are here!"
"Child of Light is here!"
Liu Limin followed Lin Weidong's suggestion, arranged for the staff, and typed such a news headline on the front page of Century Chinese Network.
Yes, the third major of the Tang family joined Century Chinese.
Subsequently, Tang Jiasan sent a separate chapter, did not say much, but told the readers of Century Chinese that he would continue to update "Children of Light" here.
At the same time, the third major of the Tang family also asked them to tell those readers who had read books on the reading and writing network before that they could continue to read the book on the Century Chinese Network, and the content after that would be all free for everyone to read, and they would promise to finish writing the book at a daily update rhythm and never slacken.
The short single chapter written by the third major of the Tang family exploded in the comments at once, and it was also highly supported by the readers of Century Chinese Network.
"Third Youth, welcome to join our Century Chinese Network!"
"I heard that the Tang family's three young updates are very powerful?
"Yes, the three young updates are much more powerful than the wild fox under the tree, and the wild fox under the tree's "Sou Shen Ji" has changed from a daily update to a weekly update, and now the monthly update is more ......"
“......”
When Major General Tang Jiasan's latest chapter was published on Century Chinese, the number of comments and clicks on "Children of Light" suddenly increased significantly.
"Muzi, do you blame me?" the third young man of the Tang family combed his girlfriend Muzi's hair that was getting longer and longer.
Girlfriend Muzi chuckled: "I said, as long as it is your decision, I will support it." And, I love your decision, and I'm only proud of you with so many people supporting you. ”
The third young man of the Tang family was very moved, held Muzi's hand and said: "Muzi, thank you for believing in me, I will strive to finish writing "Children of Light" in about a month, and then open a new book to make a lot of money!"
Muzi smiled and said, "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to!"
Soon, Century Chinese Network added 150,000 registered users in just three days because of the joining of the Tang family and "Children of Light".
At the same time, the total number of registered users of Century Chinese Network also exceeded 1.8 million at 10 p.m. on September 3, and is moving towards the 2 million mark. 17
In addition to Century Chinese, only Longkong and Phantom Sword have 1.1 million and 1.18 million follow-up users, respectively.
Although the users of Longkong and Phantom Sword have also exceeded one million, they have been thrown farther and farther away compared with Century Chinese.
For Lin Weidong, Long Kong and Phantom Sword are already yesterday's yellow flowers, and in his heart now, there is only one real opponent, that is, the upcoming Shanda Chinese Network.
In the face of the large number of users brought by the third young man of the Tang family after joining the Century Chinese Network, Liu Limin also had to admit that Lin Weidong's vision was indeed superb.
Looking at the user data that has increased significantly in recent days, Liu Limin smiled and sighed: "Weidong, you won." ”
Lin Weidong thought for a while and said calmly: "It's too early to talk about winning or losing, and the influence of the three young people of the Tang family is definitely more than that." ”
Liu Limin then asked: "Wei Dong, we have signed 23 authors for more than a month, do we want to go to other websites to continue poaching people?"
Lin Weidong said solemnly: "Of course, according to my estimate, Shanda should be about to open this month, we must seize this opportunity to bring excellent works and authors to our Century Chinese Network, as much as we can, and then we will use the contract to bind them to our website." ”
"You don't need to worry about money, there are only a few people in the market who can really write books, most of them are mediocre, as long as we can pull most of the excellent authors to our website, Shanda Chinese Network is rich, there is no way to compete with us, at least, in the next two or three years, in the number of high-quality products, we will definitely be better than them." ”
Liu Limin nodded: "Okay, I understand, I know what to do." ”
"Di Di Di Di!"
When Tang Sanshao saw the familiar number on the caller ID, he couldn't help frowning.
"Hey, hello. The third young man of the Tang family still connected the phone.
"Hello, I'm the editor of the Reading and Writing Network! Third Young, how can you go to the Century Chinese Network to serialize "Children of Light"? Do you know that this is a breach of contract?"
The three young men of the Tang family sat up straight, and there was a faint anger in their eyes.
"It's not me who breaches the contract, it's you! Your website has bad content, which leads to being shut down for investigation, which affects my serialization, and I haven't even looked for you, are you embarrassed to question me?"
"Have you forgotten that the contract says that if a work cannot be updated because of a party, that party is fully responsible. ”
After listening to the words of Tang Sanshao, the editor of Readwrite.com knew that he was at a loss, and his voice softened slightly: "We can't help it, this is a force majeure factor, not a breach of contract." ”
"Force majeure? Spreading large-scale content is called force majeure? Are you too embarrassed to say it! If you're just trying to get along with me, then stop here. As he spoke, the three young men of the Tang family were about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute!" the other party hurriedly shouted.
The third young man of the Tang family said coldly: "What else is the matter?"
The voice of the editor of Readwrite.com became more soothing: "Sanshao, that's the case, the website did make some mistakes, but the content was uploaded by the netizens themselves, and we really had limited manpower, which led to such mistakes." ”
"Now that the problem has been corrected, we have also been allowed to reopen the site, after all, your "Child of Light" has always been serialized with us, and it has also been paid to read, you see, is it back to be serialized?"
Without waiting for Tang Jiasanshao to answer, the editor of Readwrite.com then said: "In terms of manuscript fees, we will increase them as appropriate to make up for your losses." How about the two months that you haven't been able to renew before, and we'll make up the manuscript fee to you?"
According to what he said, the reading and writing network will at least supply the Tang family with nearly 3,000 yuan, which is already a huge amount of money for the Tang family, equivalent to two months' mortgage.
However, the third young master of the Tang family did not hesitate in the slightest and said in a deep voice: "No need, I am now serialized on the Century Chinese Network, and I have promised readers that the rest of "Children of Light" will be serialized for everyone to see for free." ”
"I must do what I promised, moreover, I don't want to change places anymore, I have signed a contract with Century Chinese, I can't let readers because I keep changing websites, I am short of money, for me, money is very important, but readers are more important, without them, I will not even stick to it." ”
The other party persuaded a few more words, but the three young people of the Tang family were resolute, and they really didn't take advantage of it, so they finally gave in.
After ending this call, the third major of the Tang family himself was also relieved, and he could finally write a book on the Century Chinese Network with peace of mind.
