Chapter 464: A Lonely Struggler

There was once a little story to the effect that the owner of a shoe factory sent a salesman to a small island to sell the shoes produced by their factory, and when the salesman came to the island, he was shocked to find that no one on the island had the habit of wearing shoes, and they all walked barefoot all over the ground.

So, the salesman went back and told the boss that there was no market for shoes on that island, and it was impossible to sell shoes there.

Some time later, another salesman from a shoe factory also came to this small island, and when he saw that everyone here did not wear shoes, this salesman was very excited, and went back to tell his boss that no one on that island had shoes, and we had a lot to do!

As a result, they succeeded, and the shoes they produced took over all the markets on that island.

It's a very ordinary little story.

At the end of 07, the starting point experienced last year's turmoil, as well as an additional 100 million investment this year, and some new benefits, from top to bottom, from editors to authors, to readers, and even other large and small websites in the industry, all regard the starting point as the absolute hegemon of the online literature industry, and no one can shake the status of the starting point.

The vast majority of people see that the starting point monopolizes more than eighty percent of the excellent authors and more than eighty percent of the readers, and the starting point has completed the unification under the hegemony of the group of heroes, just like the great Qin who dominates the world, and the previous six stations of the alliance can't compete with the starting point.

The starting point of reaching the top, let it become synonymous with online articles, as long as you like to read online articles, no one knows the starting point.

Many people are talking in private, as long as the starting point is not stupid. No one can challenge its supremacy anymore.

In fact, this year's starting point is really good!

Websites other than the starting point, in order to grow and develop. In this year, almost all of them have their own small innovations, such as digital stations, which turn each list into two.

For example, in the strong push at the top of the homepage of the website, the number stands next to the list of strong pushes, and a hidden list of strong pushes from last week is added, as long as the reader clicks with the mouse. You can see more than a dozen books that were strongly promoted last week, which suddenly turned one list into two, giving more opportunities for excellent works to be promoted.

The starting point followed and copied this set. You're creative, I'll take it, it's mine!

For example, a website launches a work next to the catalog page of each book, adding a few recommended positions for the same works, and the starting point is also copied!

It doesn't matter what other websites have to innovate. What are the highlights. As long as it is good, the starting point will be copied immediately! so that these websites will never have a chance to catch up.

The starting point is a very clever trick, it has the most and best authors, the most readers in the industry, and it doesn't need to have much innovation itself, it only needs to absorb the creativity that others racked their brains to come up with to keep it all the time, and even widen the gap with those websites.

This trick makes those websites outside the starting point very weak!

Fighting capital and popularity can't fight the starting point. Now even a little bit of innovation will quickly become someone else's dish!

This situation was formed. The industry generally believes that the starting point has been invincible, and the days of the genuine websites outside are more difficult than one another, and it is very capable of protecting the capital, and most of them are operating at a loss.

Even Skyhawk, which was once on the top line in the industry, closed its station and closed down.

It was under this kind of large-scale shì that the starting point dominated the world, and there was such a person who saw an opportunity! This person was the group leader of the throne of the gods -- the left-handed sword.

On the one hand, he is more actively inviting well-known or unknown authors in the online literary circle to join the group, and on the other hand, he is collecting various materials and numbers, and carefully crafting a planning book.

A plan to impress the domestic game giant to establish a genuine online website, for this reason, he not only poured a lot of energy into himself, but also invited more than a dozen forum moderators, the web editors of other websites, they want to do a big thing!

Although the game giants have money, many of them are not weaker than Shanda's large companies, but no matter how rich those giants are, they will not be willing to take money to go to waste! The digital station established by a certain article online is already a lesson from the past, and a large number of gods have bought out the starting point, but the current situation is becoming more and more difficult, not to mention making money, and facing the possibility of losing all their money.

The plan was quickly completed, and the left hand knife resigned from the work he was currently doing, and with the plan book, he began to run around the major cities across the country, lobbying those game giants one by one, and analyzing the current development momentum of online texts with them, as well as the future prospects, as well as the huge profits of adapting online games from online texts.

There are already ready-made examples of this, "Zhu Xian" developed by Perfect World, which has been launched in April this year, has swept the north and south of the country, and the works of Wen Chou, the Third Young Master and others have successively sold game adaptation rights, and games adapted from online texts are being developed.

It's bound to be a tough battle!

Now the starting point is dominant, and the money invested in front of the starting point has exceeded 100 million. If the latecomer wants to grab meat from the starting point, the investment cannot be less than 100 million, and after the hundreds of millions of funds are smashed, they may not be successful.

The left-handed knife went to sell it one by one, and hit the wall again and again.

Often if you want to make an appointment with the CEO of a company, you have to wait for a week or two, or even a month or two, and the CEOs are very busy! How can it be so easy for an unknown little person to make an appointment with the CEO of the company as soon as he opens his mouth?

Some companies directly refused, replying that the company is not interested in your proposal, or that the company has no intention of investing in online literature for the time being.

Occasionally, the CEO of the company agreed to meet him, but after meeting him, he wanted to persuade the bosses of those large companies who looked like people to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in an industry that he was completely unfamiliar with, and the difficulty was not as great as the average two.

During this period, the left-handed knife has been spending his old money, fares, accommodation, and food...... The expenses of each item will increase a little more than a day, and in just over a month, tens of thousands of dollars have been spent before I have seen a penny return.

This is a lot of pressure for an ordinary person who does not have much net worth.

When I quit my job, not only did I not make money, but I had to pay for it myself, and the prospect I envisioned was very good. But when it comes to doing it, I often stay in hotels and hostels all day long and wait for news, and I feel lonely and confused about not seeing hope. It has always been haunting in his heart, if it weren't for his strong enough perseverance, I'm afraid he would have given up a long time ago.

The larger the company, the more cautious every investment is, even those large companies with total assets of billions, the real liquidity will not be too much. At once, hundreds of millions of funds were taken out to invest in an industry that seemed to have been cut off, and few people were willing to take this risk.

A certain article is bold online. The corners of the walls are indeed beautifully dug, and the digital stations established are indeed in the limelight for a while, but what about now?

The behavior of the digital station wielding a small hoe to dig into the corner of the wall only allows the outside world to see the powerful god-making ability of the starting point. The top gods poached it. Then I'll show you a bunch of new gods!

It's a terrifying ability!

Even if the outside world realizes that the starting point is fundamentally middle-level authors, what if they see it? The number of middle-level authors is too huge! No one has the courage to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to poach those middle-level authors, and the stakes are really too big!

Dig up the great gods, the quality of the works of the great gods is guaranteed, but the middle-level authors may not, maybe the last book is very popular, the next book will be pounced, and the appeal of these authors is not strong. After digging into the past, it may not attract many readers.

It's almost an unsolvable puzzle.

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching. There was still no progress in the left hand knife, and he met with the CEOs of several game giant companies, and finally people listened to his plan, either directly saying that their company had no intention of doing so, or instead discussing with him what fun and delicious things are in the local area, and they almost discussed with him about the wind and snow.

In a month or two, the behavior of the left-handed knife has spread in the online literature circle, at least, many authors and editors have heard about it, and many people are laughing at him for being too naïve, holding a plan printed out for a few dollars, and trying to persuade those company CEOs to take out hundreds of millions of funds to make a website for him......

It's just whimsical!

The more than a dozen forum moderators and network editors recruited by the left-handed knife before, seeing that he had no good news for a long time, some of them had left disappointed, and the left-handed knife had drawn a very beautiful pie for them before. Let them think that this thing is not difficult to succeed, and once successful, they will be the leadership and backbone of the new website, and they will become important figures in the online literature industry from then on, just like the starting point of several young people who worked together at the beginning.

In order to make a living, the left-handed knife himself also used the time spent in hotels and hostels all day long during this time to get a novel, wanting to earn some manuscript fees to support himself, but he didn't want to give up, and he didn't want to give up.

It's just that the popularity of his works is very bleak, and after they are put on the shelves, there is only three or four hundred yuan per month.

The reason why he was able to pull so many well-known and unknown authors to join the Throne of the Gods group before was not because he was a great god in the online literature industry, and his fame in the online literature circle came from the book reviews he wrote!

He spent a year or two writing book reviews for hundreds of authors free of charge, these book reviews are often one or two thousand words, as long as any author asks him to write, he spends a lot of time helping others to read books, many of those books are written in a mess, ordinary people can't insist on reading at all, but he reads them seriously, and then writes his feelings deeply, pointing out the places where those authors are good at, as well as the shortcomings, so that many street writers can make progress.

Over time, his fame has grown in the author circle, but it is limited to the author circle and the ears of some editors, and the vast majority of readers do not know him as a person.

In short, he has a deep study of various rules and routines of online texts.

But the deep study of online articles does not mean that he can write online articles well, and a well-known editor in the industry once said that when you have thoroughly studied the rules and routines of online articles, you can only be an editor!

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the left-handed knife was still alone in a dilapidated small hotel, working hard to code words on his laptop, just for the manuscript fee of three or four hundred yuan a month, although three or four hundred yuan is small, but if you only buy instant noodles and spicy strips, you can buy a lot.
