"I think it's very good, of course I can't ask for it. Li Feng slowly took a sip of coffee, did not show surprise, but said lightly, "But Zhou is always an old-timer in this industry, our origin Chinese network is just a rising star, if President Zhou is willing to come, I believe we also need to provide enough exchange chips, can't let you lose money, right?"

At the moment, Li Feng doesn't know what Zhou Wenyang's price is, after all, his industry level is one of the best, even if he is given a monthly salary of tens of thousands, it is not too much.

It's just that the profitability of the current origin Chinese network is not strong, relying only on advertising revenue, about 15,000 yuan per month, after paying the basic expenses of daily operation and maintenance, the balance is about 10,000 yuan.

This money can only be used to build a small team of less than three people, otherwise it will be overspent and will have to be injected with new money.

At present, the express navigation network has not yet made a move, and Li Feng does not have too much money on hand, which is the key to the team operation of the origin Chinese network.

"Li Feng, does your website have any plans to raise funds in the near future?" Zhou Wenyang asked without answering Li Feng's question.

"Financing must get a good valuation, and it is not advisable to raise money indiscriminately, and it is not something that can be taken by any investor. At present, my origin Chinese network, the market share is not high, and it is not wise to sell shares early in exchange for a small amount of liquidity. Li Feng said, "So in the near future, my plan is to maintain a small-scale operation team based on the profitability of Origin Chinese.com, and in terms of workload, the small-scale operation team can fully cope with it." ”

Of course, it is impossible for Li Feng to sell his equity early in exchange for a small amount of money. After all, he can see the true value of the future origin Chinese network, so he always has to firmly occupy the vast majority of the equity of the website.

"Your thinking is really different from Li Tianlong, you can see that your style is more realistic, more down-to-earth, and you are doing the origin of Chinese as a career." This is completely different from Li Tianlong, he is an idealist, but he never cares about the details of practice, and the key to success or failure is often in the details of reality. Zhou Wenyang nodded, "If it is convenient to disclose, I would like to ask you a question, at present, what is the profitability of your entire website?"

"At present, the website has not officially opened the VIP charging model, so the profit can only rely on advertising revenue. Li Feng said, "Mr. Zhou must also know that with a website with our kind of traffic, the monthly advertising revenue is about 15,000 yuan, excluding operating costs, there can be barely 10,000 yuan left." Of course, I plan to officially open the VIP mode in the second half of this year, and at that time, the website will be able to earn revenue through subscription sharing with authors, and at that time, I want to strive to increase the monthly income of the website to more than 50,000 yuan. ”

Li Feng's figure is very conservative, after all, with the continuous growth of the origin Chinese network traffic, the monthly advertising revenue alone is increasing significantly, and in the second half of the year, the advertising part of the income should reach more than 30,000 yuan per month.

After opening the VIP mode, the website can get subscription income, this part of the income minus the share of the author, is not a small amount, especially in the case of the origin Chinese network has several masterpieces, I am afraid the income will not be small.

"Okay, you're frank enough. It seems that the first half of the year was a difficult time for you. Zhou Wenyang said, "As long as I survive this period, I am definitely optimistic about the market situation of Origin Chinese Network in the second half of the year." ”

"Can I understand that you plan to jump ship to the origin Chinese network, and the ideal position is the general manager of the website?" Li Feng asked tentatively.

At present, there are two or three big cats and small cats on the origin Chinese network, and some of them are part-time managers, so if you really want to invite Zhou Wenyang to come, the position of general manager is indispensable.

Through Zhou Wenyang, a small operation team was set up to officially realize the corporatization operation, so that Li Feng was the chairman of the company, and Zhou Wenyang served as the CEO.

Of course, this is not enough, after all, Zhou Wenyang is already the vice president of Tianlong Literature Network, and he holds a certain percentage of shares in Tianlong Literature Network, and he is also a small shareholder of their website.

If Li Feng can't give him a stake in the origin point Chinese network, Zhou Wenyang's stability is questionable, which is also what Li Feng does not want to see.

"We are a team that has just started a business, and our operations are still relatively extensive, and we don't have too many resources. I think if Mr. Zhou is really willing to come to the origin Chinese website, I can give you a part of the option, a three-year term, 3%, what do you think?"

Judging from the current situation, the valuation of the origin Chinese network will not be too high, at most it is only between 15% and 20% of Tianlong Literature Network, so the 3% option is not much in the total amount.

However, the real value of the origin Chinese network lies in its growth, especially when some excellent online writers joined, there was a round of blowout of high-quality online articles on the website, which directly drove the traffic growth of the entire website.

This potential is very scary, especially in the second half of the year, if the origin Chinese network really opens the VIP mode, it will be more sticky to the online authors, most of the authors who enter the origin Chinese network, I am afraid will not choose to go to other websites, but hope to obtain manuscript fees through the VIP mode, which will make the author resources on the entire Internet begin to gather to the origin Chinese network.

The emergence of this kind of scale effect often changes the pattern of the entire online literary world in a short period of time.

If you think about it this way, in three years, it is entirely possible for the valuation of Origin Chinese to increase tenfold or even twentyfold.

If that's the case, the three-year option will be a lot of money when it can be cashed out.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wenyang felt that Li Feng was still very sincere.

"Your offer has met my psychological expectations, Li Feng, I didn't expect you to be so young and so big, you are definitely an outlier in the entrepreneurial world, no wonder you can win the unanimous praise of Internet bigwigs at the Information Economy Summit Forum, I am very optimistic about you. Zhou Wenyang said, "In that case, then I will make up my mind to leave the Tianlong Literature Network and join your Origin Chinese Network." ”

"Well, you are very welcome to join, I believe that under your leadership, the origin of Chinese will be prosperous and achieve more brilliant results." Li Feng immediately stood up and shook hands with Zhou Wenyang.
