Chapter 549: Online Literature Came Out Ahead of Schedule
The main reason why Lin Qi launched MP3 is, on the one hand, to find a market for the company's flash memory chips. Flash memory chips are not being taken seriously now, mainly because of their low price and small capacity. However, in terms of future industry trends, the importance of flash memory even exceeds that of traditional mechanical hard disks.
For example, mobile phones and tablets have limited space, so it is necessary to use flash memory instead of traditional mechanical hard drives. In later generations, even desktops began to use SSDs with flash memory chips to store data. Therefore, flash memory technology must not be regarded as a chicken rib, but must continue to accumulate technology and expand production capacity, even if it is not profitable now, it must be prepared for the future. The level of technology and craftsmanship needs to be accumulated slowly over time, not if you want to do this industry in the future, you can invest cash in a short period of time.
In addition, MP3 is a hardware product, which essentially needs to download music from the network or computer. Although MP3 in later generations was once rampant with pirated music. HOWEVER, APPLE BEGAN TO SUBVERT MP3 AND MADE A PAID IPOD MUSIC PLAYER, AND THE SUCCESS OF THIS PLAYER LIES IN THE FACT THAT IT FIRST ESTABLISHED A PAID MUSIC STORE, LAYING A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR THE FOLLOW-UP APPLE MOBILE PHONE, APPLE TABLET AND OTHER PRODUCTS.
With the success of Apple's paid music, the world's online music industry has gradually entered the era of legalization, and the music industry has also been redefined.
Online music piracy in China was once rampant, but with the development of the times, online music platform giants such as Tencent, NetEase, and Alibaba have also entered the era of music copyright legalization. Moreover, the market size of online music, although it is far inferior to the game, video, and reading industries. However, in the era of mobile Internet, karaoke and listening to songs are definitely not niche, and quite a few users regard music as a rigid need. It is precisely for this reason that Lin Qi must seize the initiative and use the Internet to redefine music.
As for piracy...... Lin Qi found that it was really not a problem, and the rampant piracy in later generations was essentially nothing more than the inaction of industry giants. Once the industry giants are done, as long as the giants do, they can take down the servers of most pirated websites. Mainstream server hosts do not dare to do the business of pirates, so pirated content can naturally be controlled to a certain extent. Although it cannot be said that piracy is eradicated, it is controlled to spread in a small area. Ordinary users don't have so much time and energy to search for hard-to-find pirated resources, so the damage of piracy to genuine copies is negligible.
For example, Microsoft, Qualcomm and other technology giants employ the most people in the world, not scientific researchers, but lawyers. Basically, these big companies are people who are eyeing the market for infringing on their own patents and technologies, and once they are discovered, they quickly start acting. For example, Microsoft will basically focus on the world's largest companies, because it is profitable to sue against these companies. If it is found that the software used by the normal operation of the larger company is pirated, then Microsoft will immediately issue a lawyer's letter. The reason why we don't focus on small companies and ordinary users is simply because the benefits obtained are not enough to cover the costs. Otherwise, with Microsoft's technology, it is absolutely possible to know that the user is genuine and the user is pirated.
Qualcomm, which collects "Qualcomm tax" from the mobile phone and communications industries on a global scale, can also do without a scientific research team, but it must not do without a team of lawyers. What maintains Qualcomm's global collection of Qualcomm taxes is by no means the conscience and credibility of those partners, but Qualcomm's continuous investigation of whether its partners are privately concealing that they have used patents without giving money. The brutal investigation of lawyers and detectives around the world has made partners have to pay patent fees honestly in order to avoid being prosecuted or blocked by Qualcomm.
The applause was thunderous, and the giants in the stands also had to admire, this year's Double Eleven, the movement of new entrepreneurship is too big, just the fifth generation of Pangu computers and music playback equipment, it is out of the limelight.

"Today, we are new to the theme of Singles' Day Internet applications, including hardware, software, websites, etc.!, before we introduced new products such as browsers, fire protection, instant messaging software, music websites, etc. Of course, there are many people who ask, can literature find space on the Internet? I said, yes!"
"Next, I would like to ask Mr. Jin Yong to announce a news for you. In order to promote the literary platform, Lin Qi specially invited Mr. Jin Yong to come out to the platform. In fact, Jin Yong can't come out to be an online writer, and it is difficult to come out and write any new books.
The copyright of 14 Jin Yong has been bought out to Lin Qi, a huge amount of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, Jin Yong still feels that he is not losing money and has made a lot of money for this transaction!
And Lin Qi doesn't think that he has lost money! It doesn't matter if he can't make back the cost in the short term, the key is that he has mastered the monopoly of Jin Yong's copyright! According to Jin Yong's copyright, countless fandom, comics, animation, film and television, games, and so on can be derived.
However, Lin Qi didn't think that Jin Yong's value had been exhausted!
Even if the copyright is bought out!
But the old man Jin Yong is also very important. Therefore, Lin Qi personally ran a trip and asked Jin Yong to cooperate with this year's Double 11 event.
Lin Qi said that the future is the era of the Internet, if Jin Yong can give the Internet literature platform, it will not only be continuously reported by the media, but also recorded in the future history of Internet literature, it may not only be the history of Chinese literature, but also the history of Internet literature around the world, which may record Jin Yong's evaluation of Internet literature!
It is precisely because of the name that Jin Lao is here!
Jin Yong stood up, and many of Jin Yong's die-hard fans below shouted loudly.
Jin Yong stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the invitation of Mr. Lin of the New Venture Group, I came to this scene to witness the beginning of the era of online literature! The earliest literature used sheepskin, bamboo, tree bark, wood chips, and metal as carriers, and the cultural history of ancient times was preserved. Later, paper was invented, and more writing and culture appeared. With the advent of modern newspapers, there has been a long fashion. However, Mr. Lin described a story to me, and in the future, writers write books on the Internet, and readers also read books on the Internet. In this era, I may not have the energy to participate, but I can encourage you young people! I hope that the literature of the Internet era in the future will surpass the literature of our generation that is serialized in newspapers!"
Lin Qi took the microphone, nodded to Jin Yong, and continued: "In the future, it will be the era of the Internet. In the early years, when I first came to Hong Kong, I had no money, no fame, and I didn't know any nobles. It was all thanks to the popularity of the book "Breaking the Sky" that I earned the first pot of gold for my career. Over the years, "Breaking the Sky" has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide due to my personal fame, as well as the adaptation of animation, games, film and television, etc., and translated into more than 100 languages. Ask yourself, this is a literary level is not high, but I think that at that time, I pursued literature, and I was happiest when I wrote a book! Moreover, literature also has no threshold such as bloodline, capital, and connections, and a book that is popular may change the fate of a young person's life. It is not an exaggeration to make money that ordinary people can't earn in ten lifetimes.
However, the capacity of traditional paper publishing is still too small, and the opportunities provided for young people are still very limited.
For this reason, I decided to establish a Chinese website, a starting point Japanese website, and a starting point English website to solicit manuscripts from authors around the world. We have adopted a free account for literature lovers, and after that, upload their own content for readers and editors to try first, if the content attracts a lot of popularity. Well, we sign a contract, a large number of readers are staring, and even if the editor is blind, he will not fail to sign a book that is popular with readers.
Once the contract is signed, we will pay the manuscript fee according to the share of the sales of the electronic version. As the author of E-Sales Yuexiu, we focus on publishing paper books and translating them into different languages around the world for global promotion. In addition, the adaptation of film and television, anime, games, etc. of the new entrepreneurship department also gives priority to the works that are popular on the Internet!
To put it simply, we will provide future online literature writers with theoretically uncapped treatment. The premise is that your work is good enough!
As for the subject matter of the website's solicitation of papers, we will focus on popular and long-form works in the first stage. If you don't understand, you can learn Jin Yong's martial arts, or my "Breaking the Sky". Martial arts and fantasy may not represent all popular literature, but only two types. There are also Qiong Yao's kind of romance, as well as various themes that are popular in the market!
"Dou Po" and Jin Yong's works, in the next 1 year, will be provided free of charge for online reading. However, a year later, these works will only have the first 200,000 words for free, and the rest of the work will be paid. The payment standard for different language websites around the world is different, at present, we are temporarily Hong Kong Chinese Traditional Chinese version of 10000 words 0.05 Hong Kong dollars. Domestic Chinese Simplified Chinese website, considering the salary level, tentatively set a subscription price of 0.01 RMB 1,000 words. In overseas sub-stations, we will refer to the local book market level to draw up a price that writers are willing to write and readers find acceptable. However, basically it won't be more expensive than a paper book!
The future of the Internet requires a certain number of words to be updated every day, rather than writing a book and starting to publish!"
For fans, this is simply a holy sound, no longer have to wait for a long time, imagine that the chapter written by Jin Yong the day before can be read the next day, and life is just like that.
At the same time, there were a large number of media reporters at the scene, thinking that they should register an author account and try it to see if they could become popular? After all, many reporters are also pen sticks, and many people have also seen martial arts and fantasy, but for various reasons, they have not had the opportunity to write about themselves. However, if the network threshold is not high, it can be uploaded and published on the Internet, which is indeed convenient for many people.
It can be said that this starting point website can be called a big victory, and after the end of this year's Double 11, it was introduced by countless media. As a result, it has attracted a group of early-level creators all over the world.
The phenomenon that the early creators on the Internet are higher than those later is mainly due to the fact that the early Internet was not dominated by ordinary users, but mainly by highly educated intellectuals. Not all of these people can write well, but at least they don't have any writing at all, after all, even highly educated intellectuals who have nothing to do with literature have to write essays.
It is precisely because of this that there are more talented people on the Internet in the early days.
It's just that the early talents didn't share the feast of online literature, after all, it was many years after the popularization of the Internet that the business model of online literature began to mature.
And Lin Qi's throwing out of online literature in advance is undoubtedly a great thing for many people.
The rest of the show, Lin Qi was handed over to the host, Tsui Hark, Kevin and others made some prospects, within two years, "Huang Feihong" will be released, and Kevin has become a heartthrob, and he mingled with the female fans below on stage, and sold a pechoin by the way.
The other chapters have more than 2,000 kinds of products on display this year, making it a small fair. Actually, it's really getting more and more like an exposition!
After discussing with the veterans of the major companies in the new entrepreneurship department for a period of time, Lin Qi did draw up a plan to gradually change Double 11 into a product expo to attract more innovative products to join, which can also further consolidate the global influence of New Entrepreneurship Double 11.
