The three founders of the "Chinese Fantasy Literature Society", "Bao Daofeng", "Jianzang Jiangbei" and "Lungs of Darkness" received a somewhat strange letter, the letter from the person claiming to be Wang Bo Wang Zi'an, a big celebrity in the literary world, was very interested in their literary forum, and gave them two choices: either he would buy their forum as a wholly-owned company, or he would inject 500,000 yuan into the controlling company, and everyone would become partners. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of this sudden letter, the three forum elders were not surprised at first, but doubted the authenticity of the letter and thought that someone was playing some prank.

"Probably not, right?" If Wang Bo didn't intervene upside down, the future starting point stationmaster, the starting point editor-in-chief / editor of the Bao Dao Blade used five strokes to type in a chat room on the net, which is also a few days and south of the world, because of common interests and hobbies The founders of the literary forum usually communicate with each other, one-to-one communication with Q/Q, and multi-group chat with chat rooms, because Q/Q has not yet launched the function of group chat, "The other party also left a Q/Q number and mobile phone number, is it a prank, add Q/ Q Let's chat, or make a phone call to confirm right away. ”

"Blade, you're still too simple. If nothing else, just look at the Q/Q number he left behind, I know that this is definitely a prank--100/06, five-digit ah, everyone, have you ever seen a five-digit Q/Q number? Who is he? Teng/Xun Ma Teng or Zhang Dong?"The future CEO of China Literature Group, known as the godfather of online literature, is the "dark lung", crackling, and skillful typing like a treasure blade.

"I also feel like I'm afraid it's a prank. The last person to speak was the general manager of the future starting point, Jianzang Jiangbei, "However, Blade is right, isn't it, just verify it." Blade, you don't have that guy's Q/Q?"

"Not yet. I'll add it now. Bao Blade replied by typing as he clicked on the Q/Q panel and began to add the Q/Q of the letter.

Enter the five numbers he has never met again in the query field, and if you are sure, the corresponding information will pop up immediately. The information that popped out made Bao Dao Blade startled, and his eyes almost fell off.

"I/!I/!...... This nickname, really...... It's really called Wang Zi'an!" Bao Blade's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, and quickly told the two partners the information he had inquired about.

Immediately, a series of "I/Damn!" sounded in the chat room, the most popular mantra of the era!

The three founders, who had basically established each other's identities, were excited, and began to crack and communicate with each other, discussing how to deal with it, whether to choose the No. 1 plan to divide the money and flash people, or choose the No. 2 plan.

The opinion of Bao Dao Feng and Jian Zang Jiangbei is that everyone divides the money and counts the ball. Several of them currently have their own jobs, and managing forums is purely a hobby, and it is unlikely that they will quit their jobs to work on some fiction website. The reason is very simple, in this Internet era where free is king and piracy/editions are rampant, there is no profit point for online novels, and the only hope is to take the road of traditional publishing - but don't think about simplified Chinese, you can only take the traditional Chinese publishing in T Bay and Xiangjiang. However, it is also difficult to publish in traditional Chinese, and only a few of the most popular books on the Internet can be published a year. It's not realistic to keep your website running by publishing a few traditional Chinese web articles.

In fact, even the current leader of online literature, "Fantasy/Sword/Book/Alliance", has focused its business on physical publishing. However, little has been achieved. Those hardcore book fans who claimed "I will buy a book if you publish it" when the popular author serialized it When the website threw money and contacted the publishing house to actually publish the book and print it, most of the hardcore fans suddenly kept silent and disappeared without a trace. The current publishing market, especially the simplified Chinese publishing market, is completely immortal. The plans of many bookstore operators to make a profit through publishing have basically failed. The field is lively, and the traffic is increasing, but it just doesn't make money. And as the space becomes more and more expensive, it is impossible to make ends meet. This is the current situation in the online literature circle, and it is also a portrayal of many Internet companies in China.

Internet winter, Internet winter, otherwise why is it called winter?

I can't drag it out, I'm going to die!

In a word, it is true that the three founders who know the online literature circle very well like and love online literature, but now in 2001, they are not optimistic about the bright future of online literature at all! If you want to give up your current stable iron job bowl and follow Wang Boming, even if the other party is a celebrity in the domestic traditional literary circle and a hot best-selling author, it is intellectually impossible. If they follow Wang Bo to open a website and burn money and can't make a profit, they don't believe that the other party is a philanthropist and will always support them.

In the end, it was 50,000 yuan, and any of them had to pay for several years! The three of them divided it equally, and each of them had to share more than 10,000 yuan!

"Treasure Blade" Lin Feng and "Sword Hidden Jiangbei" Shang Song wanted to sell the forum for a cent, but Wu Xiaohui, a top student who graduated from Peking University and the godfather of future online literature, "Lungs of Darkness", had a different opinion, saying that it was not impossible to follow Prince Wang Bo Angan. The other party is rich and famous, has a huge influence in the traditional literary circle, and the relationship with major publishing houses is not bad.

Moreover, unlike Lin and Shang, who have a bleak view on the future of online articles, Wu Xiaohui believes that there is a lot to be done in the future, which can be seen from the blowout of both authors and readers of online articles in the past two years. He believes that the current era is the barbaric growth of Huaxia Internet culture, and the laws and regulations are not sound. However, with the development of the Internet in China, the state will definitely free up its hands to regulate it in the future, so that the piracy/version that major formal websites hate will be slowly curbed.

In short, in Wu Xiaohui's view, the road of online literature is tortuous, but the future must be bright.

The three of them discussed in the chat room for a long time, but they didn't discuss the reason, and their opinions were never unanimous, and no one could convince anyone.

Finally, as the original initiator of the forum, Wu Xiaohui, the "lungs of darkness", concluded:

"Whether to sell for money or become each other's partners and start a business with each other, everyone thinks about it again tonight, the stakes are very high, and it is related to the future of the brothers, and it is not something that can be decided for a while. Besides, so far I haven't been completely sure whether the other party is Wang Bo Wang Zi'an. Don't let a few of us get too excited on the side, talk about the river, and finally find out that it was a prank, and it would be funny. ”

In this regard, Lin Feng and Shang Song thought so, and they should first determine whether it was really true!

Considering that it was already night, and it was inconvenient to call, the three of them decided to let Lin Feng add the other party's Q/Q first, and if the other party's Q/Q had not passed by tomorrow, they would call directly to ask.

The basic response policy was set, and the three of them did not break up and continued to chat in the chat room. But this building is a little off.,Began to gradually develop towards gossip.,Than the other party's magic to the incredible,100/06 This kind of Q/Q number that only exists in legends.。 A few people, one sentence after another, and one sentence after another, speculated about the relationship between the other party and Ma Teng's group. Because the legend of Teng/Xun Five Tiger Generals, Ma Teng, Zhang Dong, Li Xiaobo and other five founders of Q/Q numbers is from 100/01, 100/02...... Start lining up. The other party's Q/Q number is 100/06, which is obviously not available to ordinary people.

Lin Feng, the "treasure blade" who has a rich imagination and writes on the Internet when he has time, joked that Wang Bo Prince An is also one of the founders of Teng/Xun, right? The other two immediately said that he was nonsense. The information of Teng/Xun's shareholders is everywhere on the Internet, except for Teng/Xun's five tiger generals, the others are all held by investment institutions, how can Wang Zi'an be a shareholder of Teng/Xun? Most of them were given to him by a book fan with great powers. Lin Feng shook his head, and also felt that his thoughts were really out of the box, when Teng/Xun was established, Wang Bo Wang Zi'an was still in his second year of high school in a small county town in the southwest, and he was 108,000 miles away from the Teng/Xun company headquartered in Shenzhen, and he couldn't fight together, how could there be anything to do with it? )
