PS: Depressed, warned by harmony.

On the morning of April 8, Li Youran, Li Wei and others came to the creation company.

Li Youran swept his eyes and looked at the employees of the creation company, the number of people was not large, and the office conditions were very ordinary. This is generally the case with startups, though.

Conference room.

As soon as Li Youran and Li Wei sat down, Li Youran unceremoniously said to Bao Jianfeng and others: "Chuangshi Company has also launched a VIP charging plan, which is indeed surprising. This shows that your business philosophy is very correct. But if you have a starting point, your company can't do it. Now there is only one choice before you, and that is to be acquired!"

Bao Jianfeng and the others all changed their faces.

Sure enough, the one who came was not good!

The company was acquired just after it was established, and everyone was naturally unwilling, and several founders looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. According to the previous discussion, Bao Jianfeng said: "I'm sorry, Miss Li, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish!"

Li Youran's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and he frowned: "So, are you going to refuse?!" You must know that the starting point company is strong and is going to monopolize the network market, and you can join the starting point, it is not like entering a higher platform! On the contrary, if you compete with it, the results can be imagined! Do you think that your station can still compete with the starting point noon website? ?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was not convinced, and a young senior management couldn't help but say: "It's not that there are no powerful foreign companies entering the Chinese online market, but the results have failed." Although the starting point has strong financial resources, we also have our advantages, because we understand the Chinese network, and we are confident that the website will become bigger and stronger!

The reason why this young executive dared to say this is because many venture capital companies have recently taken the initiative to come to the door and want to invest in Genesis.

The reason is simple, both Genesis and Starting Point have launched VIP fee plans.

The starting point was led by Chronos· Li's daughter created, which will inevitably have Chronos· Li gives advice.

Genesis immediately caught the attention of venture capital firms because it was operated in the same way as the starting point.

Who killed the deer? Li Youran couldn't help laughing.

Seriously, she really didn't think that Genesis would be a competitor to the starting point. If it weren't for the fact that the Genesis website has also launched a VIP fee plan, Li Youran thinks that the company's team is okay, then she will never look at a small start-up company differently.

Li Youran also knows that many venture capital companies want to invest in Genesis recently, but if Genesis thinks that if it gets venture capital, it will be able to compete with the starting point, which is simply ridiculous.

"Okay, then we'll wait and see!" Li stood up indifferently and took his leave.

……

However, as soon as Li Youran and the others left, it didn't take long for the news of her going to Genesis Company to spread, especially causing a huge sensation in the venture capital world.

“Chronos· Li's daughter is going to buy Genesis, it seems that our previous investment decision was right, and now there must be a lot of venture capital companies that want to invest in Genesis, we have to speed up!"

"Yes, I heard that the market value of the creation company has been speculated to 25 million yuan!"

"Damn, these people are crazy too!"

"Alas, who called the creation company a hot commodity!"

……

The introduction of the VIP charging plan has attracted many authors, and the more authors, the more readers, which naturally increases the traffic to the website. Because of this, Genesis has been favored by many venture capitalists, and other stations can't help but envy it.

On April 10, Chuangshi Company received a total investment of 10 million yuan from Shanda Company, Goldman Sachs Group and Sequoia Capital, and sold 35% of its shares.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge shock in the industry.

This was followed by a large number of stations, followed by VIP charging plans.

The Internet era in China and even in the world has entered a new stage.

After receiving the 10 million investment, Genesis immediately bought servers and broadband, and at the same time advertised online and offline, and for a while, the number of visits to the website increased dramatically.

However, after a month, the number of visitors to the Genesis website did not increase, or even decreased.

At this time, most networks have launched VIP fee plans, and many venture capital firms have invested in them, which has led to the loss of the advantages of Genesis.

What's more, after the competition of the demons, most web writers jump ship to the starting point website.

The starting point website itself has the best works and online writers, coupled with the cooperation between the starting point website and QQ, which has turned countless QQ users into readers of the starting point website, which has led to an amazing number of visits to the starting point website, which is dozens of times that of the creation website. The income of online writers is linked to readers, and the more people who read books, the more income they will naturally have. It is conceivable that online writers are willing to sign a contract with the starting point.

The more excellent online writers gather on one website, the easier it is to produce excellent works, and excellent works can attract a large number of readers.

At this moment, three divine books appeared on the starting point website, one is "Ethereal Journey", one is "The Legend of Little Soldiers", and the last one is "Zhu Xian" written by Li Zetian many years ago. "Zhu Xian" was published as a physical book back then, and it was very popular, and now it is on the website, and there are many people who read it.

These three books can be described as extremely popular, with a scary high click-through rate, and are widely known as the "three strange books on the Internet", attracting countless readers!

Many people are even more surprised that "Zhu Xian" was written by Li Zetian.

Among these three books, "Zhu Xian" has the largest number of people who have read it and commented on it.

In order to attract readers, "Zhu Xian" is completely free.

As for "Ethereal Journey" and "Legend of Little Soldiers", they are all free, but they have all signed a buyout agreement on the starting point website, 1,000 words/500 yuan. After the content of this contract came out, it caused a huge sensation in the online writer circle at that time.

You must know that the income of online writers at that time was simply pitiful, and the vast majority of online writers did not have any income.

The buyout contract of 1,000 words/500 yuan is really shocking. This means that writing 2 million words a year and earning more than one million a year is unimaginable to many people!

The writers of the Internet are all envious and jealous of the authors of "The Ethereal Journey" and "The Legend of the Little Soldier", and they are also eager to get this buyout contract. It is impossible to provide other stations at all, only the starting point. This is naturally one of the reasons why online writers have jumped ship.

At present, the starting point Chinese station has become the undisputed hegemon of China's station, as long as it is a reader who likes it, it will not be unaware of the starting point website. The starting point Chinese station at this moment is even stronger than the dragon sky at its peak!

All other stations have suffered serious losses and cannot make ends meet, especially Genesis, the number of online writers and readers has plummeted, the previous advertising promotion has almost been in vain, and the company's valuation has plummeted to less than 5 million yuan. Now, Genesis is burning money every day, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the funds in the account will be spent, and if no new investors can be found, Genesis may face bankruptcy. [.]
