After the studio was built, Chen Dongyang used it as an office place, because it was only one street away from the high school, and in his free time before self-study classes at noon and evening, Chen Dongyang would come over to solve various problems before the launch of the novel website.

On the third day after the studio was built, Tao Che introduced a person with a computer major to join.

Wen Zhining, who graduated from the provincial university of technology with a major in computer science, is a friend in the same city that Tao Che met on the Internet when he was selling plug-ins.

Tao Che is very optimistic about the person introduced, and even hopes that Chen Dongyang can talk to the other party in person, and it is best to keep him, which will be of great help to the studio.

The two parties made an appointment to meet in the evening.

Chen Dongyang didn't even go to self-study at night, so he came to the studio to wait for him.

met Wen Zhining, the 25-year-old looked like a gentleman, and even a little bookish, more like a Chinese teacher in the school, but no one thought that the other party was a person who developed plug-ins and bought plug-ins on the Internet.

Tao Che and Chen Dongyang briefly talked about Wen Zhining's resume.

The other party had the opportunity to stay in the provincial capital to work, but before graduation, his girlfriend who talked about college broke up with him and returned to his hometown Shanghai, which hit Wen Zhining very hard, plus his father had an accident, so he returned to Yijiang from the provincial capital.

In Yijiang City, there is not much demand for computer professionals, and Wen Zhining did not want to go to school to be a computer teacher, so he began to pan for gold on the Internet.

I have done many small projects before and after, but I have not been very successful, and it was not until the online game entered China that Wen Zhining started to do plug-ins and made a little money.

Tao Che has known each other for a year, and knows that Wen Zhining has always been alone, and it just so happens that the studio needs someone, so he invited him to come over on the Internet to have a look, and then decided whether to join or not.

I didn't expect Wen Zhining to come over after thinking about it.

When he arrived at the studio, Wen Zhining knew Tao Che, but he didn't know Chen Dongyang, and saw that seven or eight computer screens in the room were lit up, and a teenager who didn't look much like a high school student was doing things inside, and he felt that he really shouldn't come over with curiosity.

Two little boys who didn't even go to college, what future can they have when they start a studio?

"Tao Che, this is the 'big deal' you told me on the Internet?"

Wen Zhining spoke first, found a stool and sat down, looked around and said, "It's not bad, it's decent, it's a little interesting, even the computer is new." ”

Tao Che didn't speak, turned around and walked out of the room, tonight he was just pimping for Chen Dongyang, and for the final interview, Brother Chen had to play by himself.

Chen Dongyang, who was facing the computer, turned his head to look at Wen Zhining.

The first impression was very good, and I could see that the other party was a person who was a little technical and a little proud.

Chen Dongyang went straight to the point without beating around the corner: "I plan to build a novel website on the Internet." ”

Wen Zhining nodded, a little admiring the young man in front of him: "This idea is good. It's just that the investment is relatively large. And it's not easy to come up with results, there are many peers online, many of which have become climate, and there may be opportunities two years earlier. ”

Chen Dongyang has already thought about what he wants to say: "Online articles, like online games, music and videos, are all mass entertainment, and I believe that more and more people will read books in the future, and I also believe that the number of creators will also increase geometrically." So I'm very optimistic about this piece. ”

Wen Zhining threw out a question: "In the early days of building the station, how to drain traffic?"

Chen Dongyang felt that Wen Zhining was a little interesting, and he had already taken it into account to consider the problem, so he bluntly said: "The drainage depends on the writer's welfare system promoted by the website. One of the most important is the implementation of a buyout plan for writers' works. ”

Wen Zhining obviously knew about this industry, so he asked: "What is the buyout plan?"

Chen Dongyang explained: "The so-called buyout plan. It is the signing of a contract for the purchase of literary works between the website and the writer, which has the legal effect and binds the rights and obligations of both parties. For example, if an author signs a buyout contract with our fiction website, we own the work, and the author can only publish the work on our website and not on other websites. If it is published, it will cause a breach of contract, and the website will be compensated for the liquidated damages. If the author does not breach the contract and creates the work on a monthly basis, the website will pay the writer who created the work 5 yuan to 50 yuan per 1,000 words according to the number of words of the work distributed by the author every month and the quality of the work. ”

Wen Zhining understood, and asked: "This investment is a bit large, it is no exaggeration to say, 5 yuan to 50 yuan per thousand words, if a large number of authors pour in, will the cost increase?"

Chen Dongyang said: "Don't worry about money, are you interested?"

The other party was visibly silent for a long time. After a long time, he replied, "You can try." First of all, I'm just interested in your idea, join your team temporarily, and if I don't see hope in the future, I'll go. ”

Chen Dongyang understood the other party very well and nodded.

In this way, Wen Zhining joined, and Chen Dongyang's studio team became a triangular alliance.

Chen Dongyang is in charge of the core programming of the novel website, Wen Zhining is in charge of helping out, and Tao Che is in charge of maintenance and logistics.

Wen Zhining, who originally graduated from a bachelor's degree, was a little arrogant in his heart, until he saw the website code written by Chen Dongyang, and the people who were engaged in technology knew very well how many pounds and taels he had, so he let go of the pride in his heart and admired it.

Because, at this moment, he understands that the teenager sitting in front of him has much higher programming skills than him.

February 26th.

The beta version of 'Genesis Chinese Network' on the studio's computer was born.

Tao Che and Wen Zhining surrounded Chen Dongyang.

Looking at the homepage of the 'Creation Chinese Network' that appeared on the computer in front of them, the two clicked on the homepages of other fiction websites.

Compared with the two, other peers seem to be a century behind.

The two of them were dumbfounded at the same time.

"Genesis Chinese Network" with the thinking of a novel website 16 years later, first appeared in the era of 03. After the prototype of the website's internal beta was made, the difference between this and many current mainstream fiction websites is that the content of the homepage has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The online novels of 03 are still in their infancy, and they basically rely on martial arts and fantasy to support the entire online literature.

However, the 'Creation Chinese Network' has suspense, history, urban, game, sports, Xianxia, military, supernatural and other theme classifications, it can be said that if there are authors who love literature once they see it, they will definitely make their creative inspiration improve rapidly.

Tao Che looked at the beta version of the 'Genesis Chinese Network', and asked with doubts: "Brother Chen, your novel website is different from other novel websites, not all of those who write novels on the Internet today are fantasy and martial arts, your city and history are still suspenseful, what is this written?" It's kind of interesting. ”

The homepage of the novel website in front of Tao Che is the typesetting of another time and space 2019, in that era when online literature is full of flowers, it is no longer the situation where everyone is swarming to write fantasy and martial arts in the early stage of the development of online literature, but each module is written to the extreme, and various types of works emerge in endlessly.

Although today's authors may be unfamiliar with these categories, they will definitely not affect their creation, and it will also bring them inspiration, as long as the access port is opened, it will definitely set off a huge wave in the online literature industry.

Chen Dongyang told Tao Che why he wanted to develop such a website: "The reason why hao123 navigation can achieve the position of the navigation boss is because people's navigation pages have classified every piece of content, so that people who like it can use it directly. At the same time, the potential capacity of this market will be tapped. ”

Tao Che nodded as if he understood or not, but unfortunately the website in front of him has not been promoted in the beta version, if it is promoted, Tao Che absolutely believes that the homepage layout alone is not comparable to other websites.

'Genesis Chinese Network' will soon open the access end, Tao Che has a lot of ideas, and he thought of a way to drain traffic without investing money. "Brother Chen, I have a suggestion, in fact, we don't need to recruit authors to write books on the website now, we can go to the most popular novel website to pirate those popular serialized books and put them on our own online drainage. It was only when a certain climate was introduced that the writers' welfare system was introduced. ”

Every website has a history of black history that is hard to know. In the case that the website is not popular, piracy is a common means to gain popularity, and after there are more readers, the capital will be bleached immediately, and there are countless such peers in later generations.

Chen Dongyang once hated piracy and illegally stole the creator's achievements, 03 years of online articles have just started, Chen Dongyang does not want this industry to be broken from the beginning, he told Tao Che: "If we want to make achievements, we must regulate the entire market, I believe that after the launch of our writer welfare system, there will be more and more authors with manuscripts, to our website to create." At the same time, in terms of copyright, we will crack down on piracy like online game companies crack down on plug-ins. ”

After the completion of the 'Genesis Chinese Network, it was a stepping stone for Chen Dongyang to pry open the door of the Internet. Tao Che will not understand this.
