Chapter 184: Betting

"I also support Mr. Li's free model. Weng Zhengtao, the founder of Phantom Cloud Literature Network, took the lead in falling to Li Tianlong and said against his will.

This medium-sized literary website also has its own thoughts, after all, his user base is still relatively weak, and once it is opened, it will definitely cause the loss of users, so he wants to form an alliance with Tianlong Literature Network and continue to support it for a while.

"Turn on the payment mode, in fact, no one has the confidence, maybe life and death are in the blink of an eye, let's wait a little longer. Feng Binghe of Qishu Literature Network also finally compromised and said that he would continue to adhere to the free model.

Li Feng knew that around whether online literature was free or paid, various websites were indeed deadlocked for a long time, and finally did not form a unified situation.

The free camp represented by Li Tianlong Literature Network eventually went bankrupt and closed down due to unclear business models, while the paid camp represented by Kaitian Chinese Network eventually survived.

In the end, as the biggest winner, Kaitian Chinese Network gradually developed into the strongest hegemon in the entire online literature industry.

Of course, this history is about to be rewritten, because the origin point Chinese network was born.

The scale of Kaitian Chinese Network is actually similar to that of the origin Chinese network, after Fu Zhongle resigned from Tianlong Literature Network, he did not have much money on hand, and the establishment of Kaitian Chinese Network was also very simple, even worse than Li Feng's origin Chinese network.

In the six months since its development, Kaitian Chinese Network has not had any online works that can be used, and life has been very difficult. The reason why Fu Zhongle strongly supports the payment model is because the entire website is about to be unable to support it.

"It seems that we couldn't reach a consensus in the end, I don't know how many websites here are willing to join?" Li Tianlong asked lightly.

Since you can't be the leader of all literary websites, then be the leader of some literary websites, the free model is equal to low-price dumping, and the literary websites that open the paid model can't bear it at all, so that the readers of those literary websites will be attracted by a steady stream.

So Li Tianlong was not in a hurry at all, but glanced at everyone present with his eyes.

"If you want to join, please raise your hand. Li Tianlong said slowly.

Many of the founders of literary websites here are very entangled, a little bit like they have been driven to the shelves.

But now there is no way, only free can gather popularity, and the railway literature online, which currently has the largest market share, is all free, and they dare not charge rashly.

So it didn't take long for eight of the more than a dozen literary websites present to raise their hands, counting Tianlong Literature Network, and nine literary websites formed a free alliance.

The remaining four or five literary websites are united in the paid camp centered on the origin Chinese website.

Li Tianlong took out a copy of the "Chinese Internet Literature Industry Convention" and said: "Then join the literary websites of the Free Alliance to sign this convention together." ”

Li Tianlong took the lead in signing his name on it, and then the founders of the other eight literary websites also signed it.

Li Feng looked at the free alliance formed by these nine literary websites, whether it was Tianlong Literature Network or the other eight small and medium-sized websites, they all finally disappeared in the long river of history.

The market economy is fair and cruel, and I have to pay a terrible price for choosing the wrong direction.

The members of these free major leagues are not to be feared at all, and the real opponent in the future is Kaitian Chinese.com, which adheres to the paid model like Li Feng.

Seeing that Li Tianlong and their signatures were in full swing, Li Feng suddenly said: "Since we have established a free alliance, let's also set up a paid alliance." If the website wants to survive, it must choose its own business path, and since we firmly believe that the paid model is the right development track, then we will also go on firmly. ”

Fu Zhongle and the others nodded: "Yes, we have also established a paid alliance." ”

Five literary websites, including Origin Chinese Network, Kaitian Chinese Network, Star Reading, One Book Library, and Flying Eagle Network, jointly established a paid alliance and began to advocate a benign development model of paid reading.

For the situation in today's meeting, Li Tianlong is actually prepared in his heart, after all, Fu Zhongle, who ran away from Tianlong Literature Network, has always been inconsistent with his philosophy, so the Kaitian Chinese Network he founded will definitely not join the free alliance advocated by Tianlong Literature Network.

But I didn't expect that the first one to jump out was Li Feng, the founder of the origin Chinese network.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance at the information economy summit forum that the payment model suddenly has great convincing power, although the three literary websites of Star Reading, Only Library, and Feiying.com originally wanted to take the paid model, but if Li Tianlong forced them, they would still comply.

But Li Feng's appearance suddenly strengthened their confidence and weakened the strength of the free camp.

Originally, Li Tianlong expected that only Kaitian Chinese Network would have a problem, but now it has suddenly become five, which has weakened his position as the leader of the alliance a lot.

Syllable...... Syllable......

Li Tianlong applauded: "The paid big league, it's very good." The five of you have formed a paid alliance, and I wish you all the best for your business. ”

These words obviously had a tone of annoyance and anger, which made the five websites here seem to have a bit of a threatening flavor.

The rest of the literary websites are also with their own ghosts, and these five websites are the first to jump out to engage in payment, which will definitely lose users, and then compete for some users first.

"Hehe, thanks to Mr. Li's auspicious words, we will strive for a prosperous business. Li Feng was not ambiguous at all, and went back directly.

The current paid big league is headed by Li Feng, and he can't weaken his momentum.

Li Feng's words made Li Tianlong even more unhappy, even if he was a magical boy recognized by many bigwigs at the Information Economy Summit Forum, but once he stepped into the territory of online literature, he couldn't let him have the final say.

"Let's make a bet. Li Tianlong said, "A year later, if the market share of your website does not regress, even if I lose, I will respectfully serve tea to you and dissolve Tianlong Literature Network." But the premise is that you have to really start the charging model within half a year. ”

"What if you win?" Fu Zhongle of the Open Heaven Chinese Network said coldly, as Li Tianlong's original left and right hand, the current Fu Zhongle has completely parted ways with him, and the reason why he gave face to attend the meeting this time was entirely for Zhou Wenyang's sake.

"If your market share regresses next year, do you dare to disband your website?" Li Tianlong made a very big bet.
