"Hoo ......"

As soon as Li Er got into the back seat of the car, he leaned back on the leather seat and slid down softly.

He loosened the tie around his neck with all his might, and the oxygen of the hot air passed through the throat that had been bound for a long time, and carried it to all parts of his body. It warmed up Li Er's stiff body.

"Mr. Li, where are we going next?"

If it weren't for the driver's voice, Li Er wouldn't have remembered that there was anyone else in the car. He quickly sat up straight and said, "Let's go to the convenience store and buy a boxed lunch first." You're hungry too, aren't you? ”

The million-dollar car stopped at a 24-hour convenience store down the street. Li Er bought a box lunch of roast duck for the driver and tomatoes for himself. It wasn't enough for him to eat a box lunch, so he bought two buckets of family buckets from Ken's chicken, the world's largest real estate developer next door, and read the information sent to him by Wu Zheng on his tablet while eating.

The price of pretending to be unfamiliar is that the body will deplete calories very quickly. Although he has the memory of Sakata being the boss, he himself is just a stunned boy who has just come out of society for a long time.

And this stunned boy successfully acquired a company just now, and returned the offer of 50 million to 500,000!

If Wu Zheng knew that he was not facing an experienced young entrepreneur at all, he didn't know if he would find a piece of frozen tofu and kill him.

Li Er licked his lips and put the oil-stained paper roll into the bucket.

From the information, he figured out the business model of the website "Let's become a cartoonist". But how to change this model and turn the company into a profit still needs to think deeply.

Today's Internet users are accustomed to the model of reading comics for free. It's a thousand times harder to get them to go from free to paying than it is to buy a company.

But if they can't become paying users, then the website can't make enough money just by advertising and copyright revenue. Therefore, designing a payment model that can be accepted by the general public and can form a virtuous circle has become the biggest problem now.

If Li Er is left to explore alone, it may take months or even years to create a perfect model. And before that, he could lose hundreds of millions of dollars, and that's unrealistic.

However, his advantage is that he is not alone, but has another magical player to help him.

After 22 Niang and 33 Niang started in real mode, they would occasionally come to him to talk about the story of another time and space. From their mouths, Lear learned that they were consciousness bodies that had awakened his will and been transformed into by a video website in another time and space.

In addition to them, there are several websites that have awakened their hazy consciousness. Among them is a literary network called "Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info".

22 Niang and 33 Niang also told Li Er about the history of the development of the website "Biquge www.biquge.info", including the process of how "online literature" changed from free to paid.

In the beginning, online literature websites were the same as "become a cartoonist", mainly relying on earning intermediary fees and web advertisements from published books. Since the implementation of the VIP fee system in the "Biquge www.biquge.info", the entire online literature industry has undergone earth-shaking changes.

A thousand words cost three cents, which can be regarded as too cheap for a physical book of twenty or thirty yuan. But at that time, when there was no online payment means, this model was not favored by industry insiders.

However, with the emergence of the first paid readers, more and more "Biquge www.biquge.info" authors began to be able to write books on the Internet and earn a good manuscript fee.

Authors are financially compensated and more involved in their creations. And when better novels are created, more readers are drawn. Although the copyright system was not strict at that time, the income of authors shrank a lot in the time and space where version D was everywhere. But with a passion for writing and the support of die-hard fans, the first authors survived and began to spread their influence.

As their popularity continues to rise, so does their income. Authors from other literary sites have also been outflowing.

Later, more and more websites changed their system and began to implement the VIP charging model.

That's it, a model that is not favored by others, but in the end, it conquers all those who were once not optimistic about him.

This story made an extremely deep impression on Lear. He has been wondering if this model can be applied to the field of webtoons.

In this regard, 22 Niang and 33 Niang sued him for the stories of several other comic websites.

"Demonic" can be said to be the first person to eat crabs in another time and space. However, he adopted a monthly model more like a monthly subscription model than a VIP fee model. Registered members only need to spend a small fee to open the monthly VIP mode, and they can unlock the latest chapter of the V comics.

Non-VIP members, although they can't read the latest chapters of the manga, can still read these comics as long as they wait for a while.

There are pros and cons to this model. On the one hand, it reduces the payment rate of registered users and the income of authors, while on the other hand, it increases the traffic of its own website and also increases the popularity of its own website.

Another "Tencent Comics" takes the route of paying for a single chapter similar to the Biquge www.biquge.infoVIP fee system. But because they acquired the www.biquge.info literary network of Biquge, and have their own animation production department, although they started later than "Youqi", the latecomers prevailed and successfully surpassed "Youqi" in terms of PV views and became the number one webtoon website.

At first glance, "Youqi" seems to be more considerate to its members, while "Tencent Comics" has a single-chapter charging model, and it will never lift the ban, which is not friendly to members at all. But why is the latter better developed than the former?

The key lies in the author.

Only when the author is well fed can he provide content to the reader. If the author can't even guarantee basic living security, then he won't be able to draw comics.

"Demonic" because of the problem of the charging model, only a few god-level characters such as Lao Chunbi and CLOUD can make money on comics. And the middle-level and lower-level authors can't make enough money from comics at all, so naturally they won't continue to draw on the site.

"Tencent Comics" is very wealthy, and it has attracted a group of professional-level cartoonists from the beginning, and let them draw with peace of mind in the form of a fixed manuscript fee. Therefore, there are more and more authors of "Tencent Comics", and there are fewer and fewer authors who are "demonic", and even many former contracted authors are slowly losing and no longer continue to serialize comics.

However, rashly changing the charging model will cause dissatisfaction among the current members. It's like selling at a loss to earn popularity, and once the normal price is restored one day, customers who used to buy products at reduced prices will scold you and won't come back. On the contrary, they began to use high-priced merchants, and one day they had a special promotion, and everyone would rush to it.

To sum up, there are three points.

1. You cannot use the monthly subscription mode.

-- The low-cost charging model can only be used to hit the ground. This model is not suitable for the comic industry, which is difficult to create and labor-intensive.

Second, the ban on paid chapters cannot be lifted, and the price of a single chapter cannot be too high.

-- The lifting of the ban was undoubtedly an act of disrespect to the readers who paid for it with real money at the time. However, if the price of a single chapter is too high, it will make readers reluctant to pay.

Third, let the serialized cartoonists be fed.

――You don't need to explain that, do you?

When these points are clarified, it becomes less difficult to create a charging model that is suitable for "becoming a manga artist".
