A smile appeared on Liu Limin's face and said, "It's not certain who wins and who loses, let's see." After saying that, he glanced at Lin Weidong again, and then got up and left the office.

Lin Weidong took a deep breath and watched Liu Limin's departing back, as if there was still a fragrance of her body in the air.

Immediately after, Lin Weidong made up his mind, turned on the computer, and logged in to the background of Century Chinese Network.

Lin Weidong lowered his head and looked at the time on the computer.

At this time, it was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, and the number of visits to Century Chinese Network reached 30,785 today.

In other words, 24 hours a day, one-third has passed, and the remaining 15 hours, if the number of visits is still this increase, Lin Weidong will definitely lose.

Because according to normal reasoning, in the next 15 hours, the number of visits to Century Chinese reached 170,000 words, and Lin Weidong was able to win this bet.

However, Lin Weidong did not panic too much, because the time when the number of visitors to the general website should be around 8 o'clock in the evening.

Therefore, Lin Weidong feels that the Century Chinese Network has been able to have about 100,000 visits, coupled with the drainage of hao123, he is very confident that he will win this bet.

Just as Lin Weidong was thinking about it, the mobile phone on the table rang.

Lin Weidong picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Wu Wenhui.

Wu Wenhui on the other end of the phone asked respectfully: "Boss Lin, hello, I'm Wu Wenhui, I want to talk to you, I don't know if you have time now?"

Lin Weidong thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, you can just come to my office directly." ”

Not long after hanging up the phone, Wu Wenhui came to Lin Weidong's office.

In other words, Wu Wenhui's decision to come to Century Chinese Network to interview Lin Weidong this time was also made after some careful consideration.

For Wu Wenhui, his purpose in coming to Century Chinese is definitely not to find a stable 9-to-5 job, but to find a like-minded business partner.

If Lin Weidongda did not meet his requirements, or had a huge difference with his ideas, Wu Wenhui would definitely not choose to cooperate with Century Chinese, but find other partners to start a business together.

What Wu Wenhui cares about most is whether Century Chinese will embark on the road of paid reading.

Because he always firmly believes that if you don't pay for online articles, you won't be able to go far.

If Lin Weidong was not confident in the path of paid reading, or if he was not firm enough, Wu Wenhui would not have chosen to join Century Chinese under any circumstances.

In fact, Lin Weidong is also very curious, why Wu Wenhui is different from others, and must engage in paid reading.

You must know that as early as 2000, Boku.com in Silicon Valley entered China, signed a large number of heavyweight authors such as Wang Shuo, and began to carry out drastic reforms to the traditional online text model - they advocated paid downloads and paid reading.

However, this model could not change the accustomed free readers, and the number of people who used the Internet at that time was relatively limited, and there were no convenient payment terms.

As a result, Boku.com collapsed in June this year, and the first attempt to pay for online reading also failed.

If there is no open eye, in this context, Wu Wenhui still firmly supports paid reading, which is actually an incredible thing.

Moreover, since Lin Weidong is considering letting Wu Wenhui join the Century Chinese Network, he must also have a certain understanding and communication with him, if the general direction cannot be agreed, even if he becomes a partner, it is estimated that he will part ways.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong asked him: "I want to know, why do you firmly believe that paid reading will be successful?"

Wu Wenhui said: "Because I think from the perspective of a reader, frankly speaking, as a pure reader, my biggest pain comes from the fact that the creations of those enthusiasts often do not exceed 200,000 words. ”

"Even though they were very interested and enthusiastically persevered for a month, two months, or even three months, they could barely write after that. ”

"Because they need to work every day, and they spend three or four hours a day writing outside of work, but in the end they don't get anything but some compliments. ”

"If the paid business model of Century Chinese Network is established, we will be able to give writers a certain amount of income. ”

For most authors, this income subsidy is a huge support and a temptation. Once they have financial support, the amount of creation, completion and sustainability of their works has been greatly improved......"

Subsequently, Lin Weidong also talked to Wu Wenhui about his thoughts on paid reading, as well as some prospects for future online articles.

What Wu Wenhui didn't expect was that after this interview, he found that many of Lin Weidong's ideas were not in harmony with him.

There are even a lot of details in terms of details, and Lin Weidong is more thoughtful than he thinks.

After this meeting, Wu Wenhui resolutely made a decision in his heart and planned to join Century Chinese Network.

Wu Wenhui swore and said: "Boss Lin, I have decided, I am willing to join Century Chinese Network and become a part of your Century Chinese Network." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and asked him, "Do you want to work for me, or be a partner?"

Wu Wenhui didn't answer Lin Weidong's question directly, but asked him in turn: "Boss Lin, do the words you said to me last time still count?"

Lin Weidong said with a straight face: "Of course it counts." ”

Wu Wenhui nodded with a smile and said, "Well, just do what you said last time, I will be responsible for the technology, and another 50,000 yuan, I want ten percent of the shares of Century Chinese Network!"

Lin Weidong did not hesitate, directly stretched out his hand, and said briskly: "No problem, you are welcome to join." ”

Wu Wenhui also stretched out his hand, shook hands with Lin Weidong, and said excitedly: "Boss Lin, we will be partners in the future, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"

Lin Weidong nodded with a smile, and then asked: "I'm still curious, now there are so many literary forums on the Internet, such as the Reading and Writing Network, and they are also preparing to engage in paid reading, why did you choose to join our Century Chinese Network?"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Wenhui said: "I feel that for me, literature is a very big dream and ideal for me, and I need a stage in order to realize this dream. ”

"Obviously, Century Chinese Network can give me this stage, display my ability, and create the most beautiful literary creation platform in my dreams, which is the biggest reason why I am willing to choose to join Century Chinese Network." ”

After agreeing to cooperate with Lin Weidong, Wu Wenhui left Century Chinese Network Company first, and decided to sign a contract with Lin Weidong in a few days before coming to work in the company.

Lin Weidong looked at the time, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

So, Lin Weidong lit a cigarette, sat leisurely in front of the computer, looked at the data in the background of the website, and made him feel excited that the number of visits to Century Chinese Network today has exceeded 70,000!

Obviously, in just two hours, the number of visits today has increased rapidly by 40,000 people, and Lin Weidong knows very well that this is hao123 starting to exert its real strength.

ps。 It's May, a new January, a new beginning, I wish you all a happy life and a happy family!
