Chapter 220: IReader Novel Launched

"If you look at the photos in this newspaper, hehe, when the chairman of Roche Pharmaceutical Company was asked by a reporter 'Are people stupid and have a lot of money', his face changed and he was very embarrassed. I think he's already regretting that he laughed at you!" Kalina couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the newspaper.

"Hehe, he's doing it to himself!"

While Henry was talking to Karina, Tian Shuai and Edward suddenly came.

Henry asked, "What's the matter, the ireader station has been set up?"

Edward replied, "Establishment is establishment, but ......"

As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on Edward's face.

"It's just that not many writers want to be on our site. Of course, there are some novels that can't be sold anymore, but, you know. Since physical books can't be sold, the quality of the books must be not good and they are not very popular......"

"Well," Henry nodded, asking, "So, how many novels does the ireader station have signed up for now?"

"One Hundred and Seven !!"

Edward recalled for a moment and said, "According to your request, the novels will be classified, and they are currently mainly divided into urban novels, magic novels, science fiction novels, historical novels, and suspense and horror novels, among them, urban novels are the most, there are fifty!"

Henry nodded when he heard this, more than a hundred novels are indeed few for the website, but everything is difficult at the beginning, just survive this hurdle!

"Well, it's okay, then hurry up and hire typists for novels and turn novels into e-books!!"

"We've hired hundreds of typists, and we've hired more than a dozen cover designers! In about a week, we'll be able to get iReader online!" Edward responded.

After listening to this, Henry nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Tian Shuai. Tian Shuai said: "As long as the iReader station is online, we can immediately update the software and add the 'iReader Novel' function to the ICQ chat software interface!!"

"Okay. That's it, after you go back. Work hard!"

Tian Shuai and Edward answered and left.

A week later, the iReader station was officially launched.

The response from all walks of life varied, and many book publishers laughed at the West German publishing house when they saw that the West German publishing house had come forward in such a way.

"Is the West German publishing house crazy? Actually set up a station, and he doesn't want to sell physical books?"

"The West German Publishing House's move is extremely stupid!!"

"Hehe, originally the West German publishing house was doing well. I heard that this station was proposed by Henry Williams! Although Henry Williams was a genius, I have to say that this is a layman's guide to an insider, and it is purely a !! pushing the West German publishing house to the precipice."

"With the establishment of such a station at the West German publishing house, the congregation will definitely betray and leave him, and countless writers will leave him!

“……”

Many writers said, "The West German publishing house will definitely go out of business if it plays with fire!" The contracts of the West German publishing houses now include electronic contracts, which means that they will put the writer's novels on the website for Internet users to browse!! just imagine. Why buy physical books when they can read them on the website? That's why I decided not to sign a contract with West German Press!"

Netizens feel good because they can read a book for very little money!

After the iReader station is launched, the ICQ software will be updated synchronously. When updating, a window pops up, which not only prompts the software update, but also a letter from the company's CEO Tian Shuai to the majority of ICQ users.

The text is as follows: "Since its establishment, the company has always adhered to the principle of providing users with better services. Few years. We continue to innovate and provide users with more high-quality services. Such as ICQ spaces, ICQ groups, emails, etc. We had a lot of tough opponents, like Microsoft's msn-ger, but in the end we won! Now, we're launching another heavyweight service, iReader Novel!

Click on 'iReader Novel' to enter the iReader station to browse the novel. A book that used to cost ten dollars can now be read for a maximum of one dollar! ICQ has spent a lot of money to win a cooperation with a West German publishing house for the benefit of the vast number of ICQ users! Now, just update the software and you can see the 'iReader Novel' on ICQ's new interface. On behalf of ICQ, I would like to thank you all for your continued use and support of ICQ, thank you very much!

On October 1, 1991, Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ!

When everyone saw this pop-up window, they were full of emotion!

ICQ is really a good company and really thinks about users!

There's nothing to say.,Decisive update!And immediately take a look.,What's going on with the ireader station?,Is it really as good as ICQ CEO Tian Shuai said?

After the pop-up window came out, users frantically updated, almost causing the ICQ server to crash.

But fortunately, P2P technology is used, and some users download it, and other users download it directly from his computer, without downloading it from the company's server......

After the update is completed, there is a new feature "ireader novel" in a new conspicuous position on the interface, and the user clicks on it without hesitation, and then links to the ireader station. iReader station, the interface is simple, the cover of the novel is beautiful, the classification is clear, you can find books according to your favorite genre!

In addition, we have also designed a click leaderboard and a recommendation leaderboard.

Users don't know what books to read, they can look at the two major rankings and find books from above. After all, if there are many people who read it and recommend it, it means that the book is well written!!

In order to enhance the interaction between readers and authors, book reviews are also designed at the bottom of each book.

In fact, regarding the design of the website, there are many things in it that Henry borrowed from the station of his previous life, and it is naturally very popular!

At present, the only bad thing is that there are not enough books, and the content of the books is that readers don't like to read them very much.

If the results of physical books sell well, these books will not be tested on the website!

After reading a few books, readers can't help but complain: "There aren't many books in total, look at a yarn, and many of them are very badly written!!

"I feel the same way, there is not a single book on the website that I like!!"

"It's okay, I've got two of them!"

“……”

Edward gathered the news and told Henry, who looked calm and had expected it.

"Edward, open the 'Writers' Zone'!!"

"Writers' Zone?" Edward asked, unintelligible.

"Open to everyone, allow them to become writers on iReader, upload their own novels on iReader! Remember, everyone, whether it's a chef, a doctor, a student...... People of any age, any profession can do it. However, the only requirement is that the work must be original !!"

Edward couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this!(Please note that the update time will be changed in the future, starting at 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon and updating at 9-10 o'clock in the evening.) At least three watches tomorrow!)

(To be continued.) )
