Chapter 225: Picking up garbage
The major publishing houses are menacing, but there are many advertisements on the Internet, newspapers, and television, and they naturally know that the first step in the development of the website is to publicize it, so that others know that there is this website
As a result, millions of dollars were spent on publicity, and the site began to gain popularity. ◇↓◇↓ Novel. ¥℉
But it's just popularity.
Compare the data to see how bleak these stations are
Through IQ import traffic, and IQ account authorization, the iReader station has more than one million users, and the daily traffic is close to 300,000, while the best other website is of course McGraw-Hill station, but their traffic is still only hovering around 5,000
Jay Wright, EO of McGraw-Hill, claimed: "The reason why the iReader site has so much traffic is because of IQ among its shareholders. At present, McGraw-Hill has not yet formed a strategic partnership with Internet companies, so we are a little weak in the Internet, but we will soon find a partner, and McGraw-Hill will definitely be able to surpass iReader."
The reporter asked, "Mr. Jay Wright, why are you so confident that McGraw-Hill will definitely surpass iReader?"
Jay Wright sneered: "It's very simple, our works are all famous classics and ireader novels, hehe, you should know that they opened a writers' section such a stupid decision this century, which led to the flood of bad works on the website, hehe, how can such a station compete with our McGraw-Hill station"
When the reporter heard this, he asked again: "Excuse me." McGraw-Hill will join forces with Internet companies to form a strategic partnership"
Jay Wright thought for a moment and replied, "For now." We are engaging with AOL"
Jay Wright was helpless, originally he wanted to work with a global online site. But as soon as he heard what he was going to do, Global Online directly rejected himself. I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose AOL.
AOL is naturally overjoyed by the olive branch thrown by the McGraw-Hill station, and expressed its willingness to invest in shares, and the two sides have formed a strategic cooperative relationship
At present, the two sides are already negotiating the distribution of shares
A week later. AOL and McGraw Hill jointly held a press conference to announce: "AOL has strategically invested $5 million in McGraw Hill and held 40% of the shares."
The news is not surprising, and in the opinion of many, the McGraw-Hill station wants to compete with the ireader station, and AOL is its best bet
AOL provides Internet access at the source, and has its own browser and portal, which has huge traffic and ranks among the top 10 Internet sites
In fact, McGraw Hill Station after the marriage with AOL. It is true that in a short period of time, the popularity has skyrocketed, however, it is puzzling. The traffic to the website quickly decreased.
Netizens commented: "The book is very good, but it's too dull, I read books on the Internet just to pass the time, relax on the ireader station, although the writing is not good, but, it just looks cool"
"It's not interesting, the creativity of the book here is not enough, the writing is ordinary, I don't feel it"
"The books in the ireader station still look cool, what a high-tech. Superman vs. Werewolf. Magicians, robots. Monsters, aliens, the end of the world, computer hackers, etc., it's too dragging"
"I haven't even opened a writer's area, so many of my friends are writing books on the ireader station, I'm going to support it"
“”
McGraw-Hill Company.
"Mr. Jay Wright, based on our analysis of readers' comments, we have concluded a very serious problem"
"Say," Jay Wright said in a deep voice.
"Our site only accepts the works of writers who have become famous, and does not accept the works of ordinary people, which is an important reason for the loss of traffic to our website"
Jay Wright frowned and said, "Is our strategy of building a boutique station wrong?"
"Yes, that's right, mainly because the genre they like to read is not quite in line with the works on our website Now the Internet is a group of young people, they like more imaginative novels, even if the writing is almost good, they don't mind giving an example, for example, the most popular novel at the moment, Resident Evil, this novel has viruses, zombies, and all kinds of high-tech, giving people a feeling of coming to the end of the world, quite fascinating"
"Because the ireader station has opened a writer's area, it has tens of thousands of writers, including tens of thousands of novels, although many of them are bad works, but as long as one-tenth of them stand out, it is enough for readers to read books, and the various rankings of their website can be used to screen the quality of the book In addition, the location of various recommended resources on their website is also changed every week, specifically to provide readers with some new books with excellent results"
After listening to it, Jay Wright pondered for a while, since the works of famous artists, netizens don't buy them, so they can only imitate the ireader station, so that more people can participate in the creation of Taoism, and there are always suitable works for readers to like.
"Well, then we will also open a writer's zone"
"Good"
McGraw-Hill soon made improvements with the opening of a "Writers' Zone" that allowed anyone to register as a writer.
However, after this feature was launched, not many people registered as writers
And those who are registered writers, their work is so bad that it can only discredit McGraw-Hill
"Mr. Jay Wright, the ireader station has a good salary, the traffic is large, and the writers who write books are more profitable than us, and those writers who think they write well will post our works to the ireader station, unless they can't sign a contract to enter the VIP in the end, they will post their works to our website," an employee whispered.
"Is our McGraw-Hill station dedicated to picking up garbage that others don't want" Jay Wright's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he slapped the table and scolded loudly.
The staff lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, apparently, EO was already furious
As a giant of the American publishing industry, McGraw-Hill has become a garbage picker
Never

Once it was set up, it didn't take long for the site's management to find out what was wrong.
To be continued.
