After Jiang Lai left, Arthur returned to the suite, looked at the time, there was still some time before the agreed time, sat on the sofa, picked up the file bag on the table, opened it, and pulled out a stack of materials from it.

These materials are about the legendary company and the company's boss Chen Legend, as well as legendary literature, looking at the familiar faces on the photo, Arthur smiled slightly, as the earliest batch of players in the former online game legend, he is too familiar with Chen Legend.

After all, it is the founder and leader of the online game industry in the Celestial Empire, creating a myth of self-made entrepreneurship, and its influence is all over the country and the world. It can be said that in the first ten years of entering the new millennium, Chen Legend was definitely a real idol-level figure in the Celestial Empire.

As a British partner with Legendary Literature, since Arthur is in the magic capital, he naturally will not miss the opportunity to visit Legendary Literature, so when the British side contacted Legendary Literature, the other party immediately paid attention to it when he heard that Arthur Boleyn, the English Earl, was going to visit.

To tell the truth, compared with his partner, the status of a billionaire, Arthur's aristocratic title is even more bluffing, and the person in charge of Legend Literature immediately reported it to the headquarters, and when Chen Legend heard it, he immediately decided to personally greet Arthur Boleyn, a big partner.

Being able to meet Chen Legend can be regarded as fulfilling a small wish, but Arthur is more interested in legendary literature, looking at the information in his hand, the subordinates of the Celestial Empire have helped him collect in the past two days, he knows that the life of legendary literature does not seem to be easy.

The annual income of 06 years was 20 million yuan, 07 years of 40 million yuan, 08 years reached 80 million, and in the past 09 years, although the introduction of the reward function, value-added consumption, especially the launch of the fan value system, also laid the foundation for stimulating consumption, but, 09 years still lost 74.5 million a year. . .

So, legendary literature has been losing money, or a slight surplus, but only slightly.

The concept of online literature in the Celestial Empire has grown from scratch, and the living environment has changed from being dependent on forums to industrialization, but it has only been ten years, and this year, the pattern of "hegemony" among the online literature circles has changed to a stable development pattern.

At present, Legendary Literature has more than 90% of the author's resources and reader resources in the industry. Other sites have little room to grow.

In particular, the starting point, which was founded in May 2002, is one of the largest literary reading and writing platforms in China, and is currently the leading original literature portal in China.

The headquarters office building of Legend Network is a courtyard-style three-story office building, surrounded by offices on all sides, surrounded by an open-air courtyard in the middle, with a beautiful environment and fresh air.

When Arthur got out of the car, he saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes walking over under the leadership of Chen Legend, and among the people in the front row, in addition to Chen Legend, who Arthur recognized at a glance, there was also Boss Wu at the starting point, after all, the writer who followed Boss Wu to eat in his previous life naturally saw it from the photo.

"Hello, Mr. Boleyn, welcome to you, I am Chen Legend of the Legend Group... ”

"Hello, Mr. Chen, thank you for having me... ”

Arthur smiled and shook hands with Chen Legend, greeted each other politely, and then, Chen Legend began to introduce Arthur to his team, especially when shaking hands with Boss Wu, Arthur's heart was inevitably full of emotion, and the smile on his face was more enthusiastic and cordial, which made Boss Wu feel a little inexplicable, but he didn't care too much, and he was also very enthusiastic to shake hands with Arthur, saying polite words of welcome.

Although Arthur wanted to visit legendary literature most this time, he couldn't resist Chen Legend's enthusiasm, so he was surrounded by a spacious and bright conference room and held a symposium.

To be honest, Arthur is not interested in the other businesses of the legendary network company, and, to put it mildly, Chen Legend's keen eye has indeed allowed him to obtain rich benefits, but it is not very good in management, and more importantly, since last 09, the legendary company has actually begun to decline.

Although, after 09 years, the Internet companies developed in the Celestial Empire, many models are similar to legends, but everyone has risen, and the legendary companies have not sat them up, although the biggest factor is that the rhythm of the legendary company is too advanced, after all, the mobile Internet has not yet started at that time, and many promising businesses are still brewing, but it is impossible to rule out serious problems in internal management.

Through the discussion, Arthur was able to hear that Chen Legend tried to use the complementary response of the plate to build the entire Legend Network into a closed loop of the industrial chain, which is also the entertainment Disney strategy that has been pursued by many industries for many years, which is not unusual.

Although it was the first time for everyone to meet each other, it should be a simple conversation, but Chen Legend didn't seem to care about telling Arthur his ideals, and the legendary system composed of game development, game operation, original literature, video sharing, film and television production, game theme tourism, copyright distribution, wireless distribution and other game-related businesses was his ideal.

Arthur also listened carefully and nodded his head in approval, but he felt sorry for him in his heart, because in the creation of every link, the "low-key and arrogant" Chen Legend seemed to be "very unlucky".

For example, the legendary literature that Arthur is most interested in has never provided strong original support for the legendary game business since its establishment, and this was originally the part that Chen Legend had the most high hopes for in legendary literature.

And the so-called copyright operation is even more unsuccessful, and no money is made from it at all.

"The reason is because we were also at a learning stage in our previous practice ... ”

When the discussion ended, Chen Legend took Arthur and other legendary literature managers to visit the legendary literature company, Chen Legend explained a little embarrassedly when Arthur mentioned copyright operation.

Hearing his boss's explanation, the management who accompanied him was a little embarrassed, to be honest, not only in the adaptation of film and television dramas, but also in other sections such as online games and online advertisements, and they did not play the role of original literary content.

And the main reason why officially legendary literature and even the entire online literature market has not been recognized for a long time, everyone says that it is the future, but it is still in the imagination.

"It's a treasure trove, and it would be a shame not to put them into operation. Arthur looked at the inner workings of the legendary literary company and smiled with emotion.

"My martial arts world website is almost a complete starting point for learning, there have been many online authors settled in, and there have also been several excellent networks, two of which have been favored by British film and television production companies, and are negotiating film and television adaptation rights.

In fact, in this regard, we can learn from the model of DC Comics and Marvel in the United States, you should have watched Marvel's "Iron Man", the global box office is 580 million US dollars, and the creation and operation of super IP is the opportunity!"

Arthur's words had the meaning of pouring salt on the wounds of Chen Legend and other legendary literary managers, but the fact that he said, although the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Chen Legend still shook his head with a smile and sighed: "Look, we, who are teachers, have been left behind by our students... ”

Chen Legend used Chinese, and the meaning of the translation to Arthur on the side had completely changed, but Arthur could naturally understand the meaning of Chen Legend's words to the legendary literature management, not enough and did not show it, just smiled.

However, Boss Wu's face changed slightly, and after glancing at another leader of legendary literature, he gestured to the other party, nodded solemnly on the other side, and said: "Actually, we already have a plan to set up a script adaptation company, which will increase the value of the work by four to five times, and we will also participate in the sharing of downstream TV stations and film companies." ”

"It's going to take a lot of money. Arthur smiled and looked at the same smiling Chen Legend, and said very suddenly: "Mr. Chen, if legendary literature needs financing, I am willing to invest, I am very optimistic about its potential!"
