As one of the heads of the marketing department of Huaguo Mobile, Mr. Liang's job is to discover market channels for Huaguo Mobile and earn more profits for the company.

However, the cooperation between Huaguo Mobile and Banyan not only did not open up the situation under Banyan Tree, but also did not make Huaguo Mobile profitable.

Therefore, Mr. Liang is not interested in the so-called payment for online articles, as he said before, if it wasn't for Anne's initiative to invite, he wouldn't have the slightest interest in meeting Lin Weidong at all.

However, Mr. Liang is here after all, and he still wants to give young people a chance.

Of course, if Lin Weidong can't convince him, then he won't bother to waste time.

Knowing the general personality of Mr. Liang, Lin Weidong doesn't talk nonsense.

handed a few documents to Mr. Liang for a look, and asked Anne to help him briefly introduce the content of the documents, sit there and drink tea one by one, and wait for Mr. Liang to express his position after reading the documents.

Mr. Liang looked at it very carefully, put down the document, looked at Lin Weidong for a while, and said: "The plan is very well written and detailed, but the idea is too naïve." ”

Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Mr. Liang continued to ask: "Let me ask you, why do you think so firmly that your paid reading of Century Chinese can be successful?"

"I want to know, compared with under the banyan tree, what are the advantages of your Century Chinese website? and what ability does it make readers willing to spend money on your website to read books?"

Lin Weidong rubbed the teacup with his hand and said: "First of all, the content is different, the articles under the banyan tree are all short prose, or urban romance, but there is no martial arts, and there is no fantasy, which is the biggest difference and advantage between our century Chinese network and under the banyan tree." ”

Mr. Liang said disapplausively: "With all due respect, I really don't see what advantages your Century Chinese Network has." ”

Lin Weidong said unhurriedly: "Mr. Liang, I don't know if you have heard that Mr. Jin Yong began to serialize martial arts in the newspaper in order to attract readers to order his own newspaper. ”

"I've heard a little," Mr. Liang nodded, and then asked, "But so what? What does this mean? Martial arts are outdated." ”

Lin Weidong said with a straight face: "Mr. Liang, you are right, martial arts is indeed outdated, now it is the world of fantasy, and fantasy is an extension of martial arts......"

"The future era is the Internet era, with the popularization of computers in thousands of households, there will be more and more Internet users, beginning to get used to searching and reading books on the Internet, and looking at those published by Internet writers on the Internet. ”

"With the development of the times, the form of the network will become more and more standardized, people's recognition of the network will gradually increase, the network will also gain a larger number of users, and at the same time, the network will definitely change its business model. ”

"It is a logical process for the Internet to go from free to paid, and it is also a thing that many people can't accept, and our Century Chinese Network is ......."

Although Lin Weidong is not good at words and does not understand, he has enough knowledge to deal with the questions raised by Mr. Liang.

After some verbal conversations, Mr. Liang's impression of the young man in front of him has changed greatly, and he can clearly feel that Lin Weidong is seriously doing the website, not on a whim.

Lin Weidong finished drinking the tea in the cup, refilled a cup for himself, and then helped Mr. Cao and the two to fill the cup, and said: "Mr. Liang, I sincerely want to cooperate with you Mobile, I hope you can give me a chance and give us a chance for Century Chinese." ”

Mr. Liang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, thought about it, then put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Okay, I can give you a chance, I hope this time, you won't let me down." ”

After Lin Weidong heard Mr. Liang's words, he stretched out his hand and said gratefully: "Mr. Liang, thank you for your help, I will do my best to do a good job of the website." ”

Mr. Liang also smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!"

After cooperating with Huaguo Mobile, Lin Weidong had a detailed discussion with the person in charge of online banking under Anne's matchmaking.

In the next two days, Lin Weidong and Wang Taoxin also began to look for locations for new companies in major CBDs in Shanghai.

But after a day of shopping, Lin Weidong quickly gave up this plan, he felt that now that Century Chinese Network had just started, there was no need to set the office in such a prosperous location for the sake of face.

In layman's terms, it's how big the ass is and how big the pants are worn.

At the same time, Lin Weidong also did not forget to pay attention to the development of other online literary forums, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and winning all battles.

At this time, most of the early online book sites had gone out of business, and the Phantom Sword Book League was still running back and forth for the space of the website.

After the dragon's sky became the well-deserved boss of the fantasy book station, it also encountered the same development bottleneck under the banyan tree.

The so-called bottleneck, in fact, is still a matter of money, if the website can't make money, can't make a profit, it is a matter of time before it goes out of business and is lonely.

In order to get out of the predicament, the sky of the dragon began to look for a new direction of development.

At this time, in front of the dragon's sky, there are two directions of development.

The first is to invest money in the purchase of new servers and expand the Longkong website, which can maintain the monopoly advantage on the network, but the future is unknown.

Because whether it is readers or authors, they simply do not believe that in the Internet era where piracy is rampant, the road of online payment can be successful.

The other is to give up the development of the website, and insist on taking the physical book publishing route, just like under the banyan tree now.

In the end, Dragon Sky chose the same path as under the banyan tree, giving up the development of the Internet and going all out to enter the publishing market.

On April 25th, after the establishment of Beijing Fantasy Culture Company, Dragon Sky announced that they would sign the best original works on the Internet at the moment, and they would also buy out a large number of works on the website, and began to abandon online updates for publishing operations.

Lin Weidong felt that this was an opportunity, and his confidence in Century Chinese Network was getting stronger and stronger.

April 26, morning.

Lin Weidong met Du Yuhang in a coffee shop downstairs from the Literature and Art Publishing House and invited him to join the Century Chinese Network team.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is impossible for Lin Weidong to hand him over to Wang Tao to do this kind of work.

As an editor, Du Yuhang's vision and ability, Lin Weidong is still very clear.

After understanding the situation, Du Yuhang looked at Lin Weidong like an alien, and asked incredulously: "Lonely City, why are you always so unprofessional?"

"Can we stop for a moment?"

Lin Weidong was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Aerospace, the times have changed, physical publishing." ”
