At this moment, Tianlong Literature Network, located in an office building in Jiangzhou City, seems to have ushered in a new period of development.

Recently, the company has recruited 10 new editors, and the entire editorial team has been further expanded, and the entire office area has been expanded, doubling the company's office space in an attempt to make a big splash in 2002.

This online literature company, which was established at the end of 1999, has been doing it for two whole years.

Today, the development scale of the entire company has increased from three people at the beginning of its establishment to 50 people, and the market share in the domestic online literature industry has exceeded 12%, sitting on the top spot in the domestic online literature industry.

And Tianlong Literature Network also emerged several works that seemed very good at the time, although these works were still relatively rough in quality, and they were far inferior to Xu Zhengxuan's "Wuji God of War", but in the wild era of online literature back then, due to the lack of comparison, it can be said that it was still quite good, attracting the attention of a large number of readers.

More importantly, Tianlong Literature Network has ushered in a major breakthrough in financing.

At the beginning of 2002, after several rounds of complex negotiations, Tianlong Chinese finally obtained more than 5 million yuan of venture capital from Juxing Venture Capital, and only 8% of the shares were sold, making the valuation of the entire website reach 60 million, and the momentum suddenly grew.

You know, 60 million at the beginning of 2002 is equivalent to hundreds of millions more than ten years later, which in the online literature industry at that time, no one can stand out, and even a company with a valuation of more than 20 million does not exist, Tianlong Chinese Network almost instantly gained the status of the industry leader,

Although this status is still relatively empty and has not been recognized by most practitioners, purely because a venture capital fund is optimistic about them, it has also attracted huge attention in the industry, and even made this industry attract the attention of many financial media.

This also makes the management of Tianlong Literature Network eager to try, hoping to brew a big move in the new year.

Li Tianlong, the founder and CEO of the website, sat in his office, looking out the window at the bustling street scene and looking at the 2001 market analysis report in his hand, and the expression on his face became more and more proud.

With food in his hands, he didn't panic in his heart, he took in and held five million cash flow, and with more than 150,000 pure advertising revenue per month, Li Tianlong at this time was proud of the spring breeze and had the intention of reaching the top of the online literature boss.

At this time, Jiangzhou City was already very prosperous, as the largest international metropolis in China, there was a lot of traffic in front of it.

Li Tianlong turned the boss's chair ninety degrees, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and called his deputy Zhou Wenyang in.

"Lao Zhou, how are the preparations for the Internet Literature Conference?" Li Tianlong looked out the window with his eyes and asked casually.

"Mr. Li, eight websites have been invited, plus some well-known online writers, and several news media, the scale of this online literature conference can reach hundreds of people. The chubby Zhou Wenyang said with a smile.

"Only a hundred people?" Li Tianlong's face was a little unsightly, he turned his cold face towards Zhou Wenyang, and said in a deep voice, "Old Zhou, this is a large-scale national online literary event, it is to make a pomp and make face, how can you only invite a hundred people, do you have a family wine, how did the preparatory team do it." ”

Since obtaining a valuation of 60 million, Li Tianlong's whole person has changed, he was originally quite approachable, but now he is always condescending, and he has a little sense of domineering president, which makes Zhou Wenyang and other subordinates very uncomfortable, but looking at the thriving Tianlong Literature Network, it also shows that Li Tianlong has his ability, and it is not a bad thing to follow him, so everyone has to endure the anger for a while and continue to revolve around him.

Zhou Wenyang knows that in fact, with the current appeal of Tianlong Literature Network, it is impossible to hold a large-scale national online literature conference, and it is still feasible to only hold an online literature exchange meeting in Jiangzhou and even East China.

But after Li Tianlong got five million venture capital, he was a little flustered, and he suddenly liked to put on satellites, thinking that Tianlong Literature Network had great influence and began to be the leader of the industry.

He even believes that 2002 is the first year that Tianlong Literature Network officially dominated the online literature industry, and he himself will become a symbol of the entire industry.

Therefore, the first thing Li Tianlong, who got the money, was not how to use the funds at hand to expand the scale of the company, but to hold a large-scale online literature conference after the Spring Festival to officially announce the identity of the leader of the Tianlong Literature Network Alliance, and at the same time expand the influence of the entire website.

Zhou Wenyang's fat face was covered in cold sweat, Li Tianlong's idea was not unreasonable, but if he took too big a step, it was easy to pull the egg.

Although Tianlong Literature Network currently ranks first in the market share, the advantage is not obvious, and the lead is only in the millimeter.

Under such circumstances, Tianlong Text Network wants to hold a national online literature conference on its own, which is a bit like a pony dragging a cart, which makes Zhou Wenyang feel very difficult, and some literary websites ignore the invitation they send to them.

Even a few websites that have a little friendship in the industry, because of the competition between each other, are a little resistant to participating in such a conference, but it is very difficult to send one or two editors to participate in the meeting and invite their vice presidents.

Zhou Wenyang took out a tissue, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and handed Li Tianlong a list of preliminary intentions to participate, seeing that Li Tianlong frowned again and again: "Old Zhou, what are you doing, please ask a few people to move, do you want me to call in person?"

"Mr. Li, we are all doing our best, but with the strength of our company, we have limited ability to promote a national conference. Zhou Wenyang really couldn't help it, he was so overwhelmed by this thing during this period of time that he didn't have the time to manage the business, so after thinking about it, he felt that he still had to bargain with Li Tianlong.

Li Tianlong doesn't think so, he is an idealist, and in the past two years, Tianlong Literature Network has been smooth sailing, and the process of occupying the top spot in the industry is actually not difficult, and he has not even encountered any resistance.

What's even more interesting is that in the second half of 2001, even a number of venture capital funds rushed in, almost to the point of kneeling and begging for money, giving Li Tianlong the illusion that everything was under control, and his heart was swelling more and more.

Getting financing this time is the first step for him to achieve an online literary empire, and then to expand his influence and obtain the status of the leader of the online literature industry is the most important thing for Li Tianlong.

Therefore, no matter how much it costs, he must confirm this alliance leader status and become the real first person in online literature.
