"Siyuan, the plan you sent me earlier. I've been studying for a few days, and I still don't understand something, so you explain it to me. In Zhang Siyuan's office, Dai Wanglong sat opposite Zhang Siyuan and said to Zhang Siyuan.

The plan about the novel website that Zhang Siyuan sent him earlier, he read it alone for two days. I looked at those novel websites on the Internet again, but I felt that it did not conform to the current technological development of the times.

Zhang Siyuan put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Where is the problem, you say." ”

"I don't think that, with the current development of technology in our time, fiction websites don't fit in with our development direction at all. At present, we already have QQ, QQ portal these two holes, QQ navigation and QQ legend profits, after filling these two holes, there is not much remaining funds for us to continue to support such a hole. ”

Dai Wanglong paused and continued: "Moreover, I have carefully studied the current profit methods of those novel websites, which basically rely on advertising to achieve income. No website is monetized according to your plan, but according to the advertising method of those websites, the impact on users is very large. If you don't pay attention, you click on an ad. If you follow your plan, the author's income is guaranteed, but the website itself is not. ”

"Brother Long, I know everything you said. Fiction website, I tell you this, in the past few years, it must have been operating at a loss. I'm ready to lose money for three to five years, but as long as I get through those three to five years, it will be the spring of fiction websites. Before Dai Wanglong finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan interrupted Dai Wanglong's words.

Zhang Siyuan knew from the beginning that Dai Wanglong would disagree with the plan after reading it. He has been ready to rely on Times technology to feed the novel website for a few years, but after a few years, it will be the time for the novel website to soar.

Hearing what Zhang Siyuan said, Dai Wanglong hurriedly said: "Since you think that in a few years, the novel website can usher in spring." Then it would be good for us to develop in a few years, at least by that time, we will definitely have spare funds to develop this aspect. And, I also wonder why you think that fiction websites will have a spring in a few years. ”

Although Zhang Siyuan's previous decisions were extremely correct. But Dai Wanglong still wants to know where Zhang Siyuan came from, and the confident novel website will usher in spring in a few years. After all, according to Zhang Siyuan, the current technology of the times is at the most critical moment, and it would not be good if the novel website dragged down the development of the science and technology of the times.

"Brother Long, you've been researching novel websites all this time. Do you think there are many people reading novels online?"

"Many. ”

"Then do you know that there are many people on the Internet now?"

"Not much, after all, computers are still relatively valuable things for ordinary families. And it's not essential, not everyone buys a computer. ”

"What if I told you that in a few years computers will be cheaper and cheaper. There will be more and more Internet users, you have no problem with that, right?"

"No, it's a trend. Anyone familiar with the Internet knows this, but what does this have to do with fiction websites?

"Do you think it's comfortable to hold a heavy book or just open the web page?

"Of course, it's comfortable to open the web page and read a book. Dai Wanglong replied as a matter of course.

"That's right, more and more people are using computers, and more and more Internet users are using them. That means that more and more people will use computers to read books. You yourself have also felt in the past two days, how much traffic there is to those novel websites, and this is still the situation that there are not many Internet users at present. When the number of Internet users shows a blowout growth, there is no doubt that more and more people will use computers to read books. Moreover, in the future, not only computers can read books, but also mobile phones. Zhang Siyuan said very firmly

"Cell phone?"

"That's right, you don't think there's much use for mobile phones nowadays except for messaging and making calls. But computers can be invented, and mobile phones can also realize the functions of computers. Let me tell you this, if I don't have the capital now, I would like to make mobile phones, and the profits in it are very large. After mobile phones can also read books, traditional paper books will be greatly impacted, and novel websites will usher in a period of rapid development. ”

"I really can't think of any of this, but can a mobile phone have that kind of function?" Dai Wanglong's tone was full of doubt.

Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Just because the mobile phone can't do it now doesn't mean that the computer can't do it in the future, you have also been doing Times Technology for so long, have you found a phenomenon?"

"What phenomenon?" Dai Wanglong felt puzzled.

"We always develop the third version of QQ, and then update the second version, you know that, right? It's not our own thing, it's the same in all high-tech industries. The latest version that has been launched will definitely have a newer version in the future. Why not send it out, that's so that you can be ready for emergencies. Unless a company makes a major breakthrough, then there can be a revolutionary upheaval. As far as I know, there are now color screen mobile phones abroad. ”

"You mean to say that the phones we use aren't really the ones that all technology uses?"

"Yes, everybody will leave a way out for themselves. This is especially true in our tech industry. The future development of mobile phones will definitely be the same as computers, which will become more and more convenient. ”

"Then we don't need to wade into this troubled water now. Dai Wanglong said.

"No, we have to do it now!" Zhang Siyuan's tone was unquestionable.

"Give me a reason, or I won't agree. Dai Wanglong's tone suddenly hardened.

Because of the QQ legend, the entire company's capital chain has just improved a little. Although he has just listened to Zhang Siyuan's explanation, he also believes that the novel website will be very profitable in the future. But he won't let the novel website become a drag on Times Technology now, after all, he understands in his heart that the most important thing about Times Technology is QQ, and the one who chooses to burn the most money is QQ.

"Do it early, form a reputation, and when the whole industry develops in the future, we will be the leader. Otherwise, when the first crab eater finishes eating, we latecomers will only have to eat leftovers. Zhang Siyuan helplessly explained to Dai Wanglong.

"Then according to the development model of those websites, at most we don't recruit advertisers, why do we still give benefits to those authors. It's good that we provide them with a platform and give them money, what is the reason?" Dai Wanglong said a little indignantly.

"Brother Long, what is the most important thing on the novel website?"

"Books. You're not talking nonsense. Dai Wanglong looked at Zhang Siyuan like a fool.

"Where did the book come from? It wasn't written by the author yet, so we have to hold the author firmly in our hands while some people haven't reacted yet, so that no matter what changes in the industry, we will be invincible." Zhang Siyuan ignored Dai Wanglong's eyes and said with a smile.

Dai Wanglong suddenly realized: "It's just that the price we paid is too great, and there is no advertising revenue." I also have to pay those authors, it's good that there are fewer people, but if there are more people, it's a big hole. ”

"Not everyone will send it, after all, we will pay them when they sign a contract. And there are all kinds of conditions for sending money, and if you can't meet the conditions, what will you do with the money. It's normal supply and demand, they write us something, we send them money, it's as simple as that. As long as we don't lose too much, we can earn it back later. ”

"But I don't see anything about that in your plan?"

"That's not because the plan was written and not all of it was done, I have worked out all the plans at home in the past few days. Now, it's all here, you can take a look first. Saying that, Zhang Siyuan took out a notebook from his satchel and handed it to Dai Wanglong opposite.

After Dai Wanglong took the notebook, he sat quietly opposite Zhang Siyuan and looked at the plan that Zhang Siyuan wrote on it.

Zhang Siyuan sat opposite, drinking tea, quietly waiting for Dai Wanglong to continue to ask questions. It's not that he can't just do it alone, after all, he is the absolute controlling person of the company, and everyone else can decide anything if they don't agree. It's just that Zhang Siyuan doesn't want to cause contradictions because of some things.

PS: There have always been book lovers who dislike updating two chapters a day, but writing novels is really a part-time job. Shidao is just a novice, and a chapter takes two hours. Plus it's a part-time job, so updates are slow. Yesterday before getting off work, it was a bolt from the sky and I was fired from the company. I have to look for a job again next month, and if I can break out, the way of mentorship will definitely break out. It is not easy for newcomers to write books, so kneel down and beg for recommendation votes and monthly passes from book friends.
