There is a joke in the online literary circle in later generations, that is, the big move of Ali literature, but the starting point Chinese network created by Lin Cheng and Zhang Hailan is not a fake style of Ali literature.

After a series of big moves, less than a month after the establishment of the starting point, it topped the country's No. 1 original literature website, but Lin Cheng's large investment is still quite shocking.

In less than a month, Lin Cheng burned 50 million yuan for the starting point, Zhang Hailan, Heart of Darkness, Bao Jianfeng and others were quite worried, what should I do if the investment is so big and I can't recover the cost in the future?

It is no wonder that Zhang Hailan and others are pessimistic about the prospects of the starting point, but it is really because before the VIP fee system was opened for online literature, whether it was an operating website or a website author, it was almost impossible to find the correct way to open online literature to make money.

Internet writers publish on literary websites, all of them are supported by their own love, and only after the works are on the Internet that the website has the capital to contact the traditional Chinese publishing house on the treasure island and publish the operation on the treasure island, but there are too few such lucky people, and there is no one in ten thousand.

It can be said that in the early days of the development of online literature, in fact, it has always been the publishing house on the treasure island that has supported the mainland's online literature.

Of course, the online writers at the starting point are also very competitive, such as the platinum writer skeleton elf and the two gods of high-rise buildings, although they are not as popular as the five white online articles at the starting point, but on the side of the treasure island, the skeleton elves and high-rise buildings are golden signboards, and their pen names represent best-selling, and it is common for the two to ascend to the best-selling champion on the treasure island.

In 2003, the starting point of online literature was the creative launch of the VIP fee system in October, which changed the ecological environment of online literature and made online literature out of control.

Then the online text came to the 10-year mobile reading era, the 14-year IP era, film and television adaptations, animation adaptations, and game adaptations made the online texts bigger and bigger.

As an emerging industry, the future prospects of online literature are undoubtedly extremely bright, and its derived online games, mobile games, film and television, and animation are even more attractive cakes.

But it's only 2001, even if Lin Cheng tells the lofty prospects of the future of the online article one by one, it is estimated that Zhang Hailan, Dark Heart and others will not believe it.

The steps are too big and easy to pull the egg, the online article is now in the embryonic stage, of course Lin Cheng will not copy the model of the starting point of the future world at once, and it is the practice of smart people to have a target.

In order to unify the consensus, the starting point Chinese website held a high-level meeting for the first time, and Lin Cheng, Zhang Hailan, Heart of Darkness, Bao Jianfeng, Tibetan Sword Jiangnan, Yizhi, Dark Left Hand, and No. 5 ant gathered together to discuss the future development of the starting point Chinese network.

Although in private, the six of Dark Heart and Bao Jianfeng had all seen Lin Cheng, but on such a formal and solemn occasion sitting in the same office with Lin Cheng, everyone still felt Alexander.

Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw this, in his previous life, he was just a small street in Reading Literature, the Heart of Darkness and Bao Jianfeng can be regarded as Lin Cheng's boss, and they are legendary figures that he can only look up to.

But now, they sat in their lower position and trembled, respectful and respectful, which made Lin Cheng's heart feel refreshed.

However, Lin Cheng's rebirth for four years can be regarded as experienced, and the small pride in his heart did not last long, and soon entered the main topic of the meeting, and got straight to the point: "To achieve sustainable development of online literature, it is inevitable to take the road of commercialization, do you have any good suggestions for the next commercialization model of the starting point?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, for the commercialization of online literature, they only knew that they would take the road of publishing, and they didn't know that there were other profit models for online literature.

Dark Heart said: "Mr. Lin, we are shallow, and we really can't think of any profit route for online literature in addition to taking the road of publishing. If there is, pay off Mr. Lin will not hesitate to give advice. ”

When Lin Cheng heard this, he thought to himself whether it was time to launch the VIP payment system for online texts early?

The original time-space online text VIP fee system was only launched in October 2003, and when it was launched, everyone in the industry judged that it was self-defeating, and reality will soon teach them to be people.

At the beginning, the situation was indeed as everyone expected, the starting point traffic was greatly reduced, and most of the readers who were unwilling to pay left, but when the VIP system of the starting point fell into a desperate situation, the wandering toad of the famous online writer came to the starting point to publish a book, and a big selling "Tianpeng Zongheng" brought a large number of paid members to the starting point, which saved the starting point from the desperate situation.

However, at this time, the starting point does not need a wandering toad to save, Lin Cheng alone is enough, since Lin Cheng's entry into the starting point, the daily active users of the starting point have reached the level of 100,000, and the arrival of Han Han has brought a large number of young readers, and now the daily active users of the starting point have exceeded 150,000, even if the VIP fee system is implemented in one step, there should be a large number of readers to pay.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng had already made a decision in his heart, and said loudly: "At present, the starting point of daily active users has reached 150,000, and the conditions for the website to implement the VIP fee system are ripe, and I am determined to implement the VIP fee system.

The website provides a virtual starting coin, users can recharge through the Internet and mobile phones, according to the ratio of 1:100, one dollar can be exchanged for 100 starting coins, VIP chapters 2 points/1000 words.

VIP fee income, the website and the author share in half, the author's monthly income exceeds 200 yuan, the website through the transfer, into the bank account provided by the writer, to the author of the remuneration.

As for the great god author, it can be divided into seventy-three, the author takes seventy, the website is thirty-two, and the platinum author is eighty-two shares, however, whether it is platinum or the great god, the full copyright must belong to the website, and the website is responsible for the operation, as for the author's copyright fee, the specific negotiation between the website and the author,

Readers subscribe to more than one chapter, that is, trainee readers, more than 500 starting coins for apprentices, 2000 starting coins for disciples,...... 10,000,000 starting coins for the Gold Alliance.

The higher the subscription amount, the more monthly passes, and the monthly pass allows readers to vote for their favorite authors and support their favorite authors on the monthly pass list.

The monthly ticket list is a battlefield for writers to fight, the first in the monthly ticket list of the month can get a bonus of 10,000 yuan, the second 6,000, the third 5,000, the first six 3,000, and the top ten 1,500, but now there are too few works in the library, and the monthly ticket list can be launched after half a year.

Finally, in order to keep the author constantly updated, the website will also launch a full attendance bonus system, as long as the number of daily updated words reaches more than 4K in the month, the author can be given a full attendance award of 300 yuan. ”

Lin Cheng's proposal is a system that has been proven feasible by later practice, and everyone feels like an enlightenment, thinking that this is an epoch-making online text business model.

But everyone still raised strong objections, thinking that this system was too advanced and easy to pull eggs, and asked Lin Cheng to think twice.
