"Okay, seeing that you guys can't keep it busy, let's just finalize it, and remember to send a copy to everyone. Li Tianlong shook his hand, and he was not interested in tossing too much about this matter.

At this online literature conference, although Li Tianlong can't essentially make himself a league leader, he must make a posture of an alliance leader, which is also the fundamental purpose of this conference.

The keynote speech was just an aperitif before the meal, and the most important part of the conference was to discuss the future development trend of literary websites, that is, "online literature profitability analysis and business model prediction".

It can be said that Li Tianlong's topic of discussion is quite well chosen, and the implementation of this topic is the lifeblood of the entire industry.

In the 2002 online literature war, two different development theories emerged in the Internet industry, namely the "free theory" and the "paid theory".

These two assertions represent two different development concepts, and also represent two completely different development directions.

The view of the free theory is that the Internet is an open and inclusive platform, and most of the resources on the Internet are free and open to netizens, so the Internet should also be free. Websites can subsidize online writers through other ways to achieve a win-win situation for readers, authors and websites.

As for the viewpoint of the payment theory, it is analyzed from the general environment in which intellectual property rights are increasingly valued, and it is explained that paid reading is an inevitable requirement for the development of intellectual property awareness to a higher level, and there is no basis for subsidizing online authors without payment, and it does not meet the requirements of the market economy.

In short, the views of both schools of thought have received a considerable amount of recognition, and it can be said that they are equally divided.

The online literature websites on the market are also looking for these two ideas and gradually diverging into two camps, that is, the "free camp" and the "paid camp".

The result was that the paid camp survived, while the free camp either died or had to switch to the charge.

In the final analysis, the failure of the free model is due to two reasons: first, the free content lacks user stickiness and is generally not of high quality, grabbing traffic but not readers.

Second, the most hurt by free is the online author, the author has no manuscript fee incentive, and even making a living is a problem, so the free website cannot cultivate a stable team of professional authors.

So in the long run, the free model is disadvantageous for both readers and authors.

But this was not noticed in 2002, and people were still talking about the openness and sharing of the Internet, and the passion for singing high voices far exceeded the ability to study real problems.

Now Li Tianlong, in order to become the leader of the online literature industry, seems to want to dominate this topic at tomorrow's meeting, and Li Tianlong, who has five million cash in hand, seems to be more inclined to the free model of the literary website business model.

Because only through the free model, can the website gradually become bigger, and when the website reaches a certain scale, it can gradually break other small and medium-sized websites through acquisitions, and wait until he unifies the domestic online literature industry, and then consider the problem of business model.

And Li Tianlong also has his other small abacus, if the free model of the entire industry is dominated, the survival environment of those small and medium-sized literary websites will be even more difficult, they do not have the financing ability of Tianlong Literature Network, if they do not get venture capital, they will not be able to maintain the free model for a long time, and the final result will either go bankrupt or be acquired.

Thinking of this, Li Tianlong couldn't help but praise his wishful thinking.

......

On the morning of the next day, the first National Network Literature Conference was officially held at Tianyuan Hotel.

A huge banner was hung in the welcome hall, and as soon as the mahogany door carved with dragon and phoenix totems was opened, the light of several crystal lamps illuminated the entire venue with golden brilliance.

More than a dozen beautiful waiters dressed in red cheongsams and with slender bodies shuttled through the process, preparing for the work of the venue.

As the most luxurious conference hall of the five-star Tian Yuan Hotel, the decoration here is more trendy and elegant than that of the Golden Emperor Hotel, and the luxury of the venue is even no less than that of the Information Economy Summit Forum.

Walking into the hall, on the left and right sides of the venue, a large display screen of about 300 inches was arranged instead of using the projector of the traditional conference.

You know,In 2002, even projectors are not very popular electronic products,It is extremely rare to use such a large display screen,The cost is absolutely expensive。 If you change to Xianhu City, you can't even find such equipment, and the luxury of Tianlong Literature Network can be seen.

The conference invited the founders and main managers of more than 10 domestic online literature websites, as well as online literature authors, some online literature lovers, and a group of colleagues from literary publishing houses.

In addition to Tianlong Literature Network, there are also founders of domestic online literature websites such as Kaitian Chinese Network, Phantom Cloud Literature Network, Qishu Literature Network, Xincheng Literature Network, and Origin Chinese Network.

Due to the presence of all the founders of major domestic online literature websites, Li Tianlong also felt quite faced, and felt that the appeal of his website was extraordinary, and he felt more and more fluttering.

At the venue, about 200 guests were present, and some media were also invited, including Jiangzhou TV, Donghua Morning News and other large media, which further improved the specifications of the entire online literature conference.

"Tianlong Literature Network is generous enough, such a luxurious venue has been arranged, when will our origin Chinese Network also hold such a standard conference." Zheng Dalong looked at the surrounding scene and muttered to himself.

"Hmph, it's great to be rich, you know how to pretend to be forced. Xu Zhengxuan looked quite unconvinced, it was like a poor friend suddenly broke out, and he wanted to show it to him, which made him quite unhappy.

It's not cool, but after all, people are good at eating and drinking, and they also gave tickets to the H2O concert, so they don't have much to say.

"Little brother, do you want this?" But at this time, suddenly a tall and beautiful waitress came over with refreshments and distributed exquisite cakes and juices to Xu Zhengxuan.

Xu Zhengxuan nibbled on the cake and drank a sip of juice, looked at the cheongsam beauty waitress who was gradually moving away, and seemed to be a little convinced: "It's really great to be rich." ”

"Hey, you're a little disciplined, okay? Li Feng patted Xu Zhengxuan's head, and was really speechless at this cousin.

The central area of the venue is the seat of the guests of various literary websites, as the main guests of this conference, the exchange of major literary websites is the highlight of the conference, Li Tianlong thought of becoming the so-called alliance leader, and it is the primary task to let this group of people bow down to the ministers.
