In the end, Lear decided to set the sales model as a single-chapter consumption model. The unit price of one page is 0.1 Huaxia coin, which is one penny. Prices are not calculated for parts that are not related to the content.

In this way, ten pages of comics are only a dime, and a hundred pages are only a mere dollar, which is really cheap.

In addition, members who recharge 50 yuan at one time can obtain the qualification of senior members, and they can get a 9.5% discount on the purchase of comics. Members who recharge 100 yuan at one time, or spend 300 yuan cumulatively, can obtain the qualification of junior VIP and get a 9% discount on the purchase of comics.

A one-time recharge of 1,000 yuan and a cumulative consumption of 3,000 yuan can obtain the highest high-level VIP qualification, and you can get an 8.5% discount on the purchase of comics.

As for the author, it is divided into buyout author and split author. Buying out the author is like a traditional serial magazine, drawing a chapter of a comic book and converting the manuscript fee according to the number of pages. No matter how much the work is sold, whether the copyright is sold in the future has nothing to do with the author.

And by the author, you can get 80% of the actual total sales. After deducting the tax due, it will be distributed to the author on the 1st of each month.

For example, if a comic is priced at 1 yuan, after 1 senior VIP member purchases, the actual total income should be 1 times 0.85, which is 8 jiao and 5 cents. This number is multiplied by 0.8, which is 6 cents and 8 cents to be the author's income.

In addition, Li Er is also preparing to launch a prop charging model. The income from the reward is the same as 80% of the author and 20% of the website. This is also a concession made by Lear in order to attract the author.

However, Li Er also wrote in the contract, "If the work is adapted from animation, film and television works, this website has the priority right to adapt." There is no need to pay royalties with the original author. Such a clause.

Today's webtoonists choose to serialize comics on the Internet because they can't publish them in the first place, and many of them never think that their comics can be adapted into animation or other film and television works.

And Li Xiang just saw the author's idea. If his comic website becomes bigger, then it will definitely involve animation and even film and television adaptations in the future, and the copyright of these works will become his intangible assets.

When the time comes, the money that the website now takes out to subsidize the author will be able to make up for it hundreds or thousands of times. After all, compared to the meager subscription income of webtoons, film and television adaptations are the main head.

After drafting the terms, Li Er found a lawyer he knew well and drafted a model contract. Then at the first meeting after taking over the company, Li Er logically proposed this new business model to the company's top management.

The meeting was attended by the head of administration, the head of finance, the head of the technical department, and the new head of content, Pang Zhao.

The executive was a middle-aged Mediterranean man in his fifties. Although his head was half-bald, the hair on both sides was strangely thick.

After Li Er finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Mr. Li, although your idea is good, I don't think it will work." ”

After Lear was refuted, he was not angry. He closed the laser pointer in his hand and asked, "Then what do you think won't work?"

"First of all, webtoons are not as good as physical comics in terms of quality, and many of them are at the level of children's graffiti, and it is completely impossible for consumers to pay for such comics. Besides, there is no precedent for success in this model at all, and it takes a lot of risk to be the first person to eat crabs. ”

Li Er nodded as he listened: "Is there anything else?"

The executive continued: "In addition, the author will not agree to such a charging model, not to mention that the income has not increased much, and if the popularity decreases because of this, which affects the publication of the comics, it will be more than worth the loss." ”

"Very well, what about the others, do they think the same way as him?"

The treasurer and the technical head glanced at each other. The tall, thin treasurer raised his hand.

She was not good-looking, and she was a woman who looked to be in her forties. In addition, there are only two accountants in her company, who are responsible for the salary audit and other financial work of all employees in the company.

"I don't have any opinion on the business model, I just hope that Mr. Li will do his best to pay the company's taxes and unpaid wages to the company's account, which is a total of 3,082,650 yuan and eight jiao seven cents. ”

Li Er took out his mobile phone and operated on it, and soon the head of the finance department received a text message about the transfer.

"That's five million, if it's not enough, tell me more. Any other comments?"

The head of finance shook his head and sat down. The head of the technical department sitting next to her, an otaku who looked like he hadn't washed his hair for a long time, also staggered to his feet, raised his hand and said, "That...... Mr. Li. You're not going to let us do this new system, are you?"

Looking at the look of the head of the technical department, Li Er knew what he was thinking. He also knew the level of these programmers when he attacked the company's firewall, so he didn't pin his trust on these wastes to build a new system.

"I will entrust the code of the APP and the website to other companies, so you don't have to worry about that. The technical department only needs to do the daily maintenance work. ”

Hearing Li Er's words, the head of the technical department finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there is his former boss, Editor-in-Chief Zhao. For this old boss, Li Er was still very polite: "Editor-in-chief Zhao, if you have any opinions, just mention them to me." ”

Zhao Pang hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I have any opinions." I'm new to a new webcomic thing, so there's nothing to help me with. I just hope that there will be more works for me to review.,There are still too few comic works on our website.。 ”

"Okay. Lear nodded. "Now that I understand everyone's thoughts, let's go back to some of the questions raised by the administration. ”

After a slight pause, seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered, Li Er said: "The first point is whether the level of the work is worth consuming. I think this depends on the content editor-in-chief, and only attractive and excellent works can enter the signing process. In addition, we will also actively contact with professional cartoonists, and attract some writers who already have a serialization level to join our website. ”

"The second point, I won't elaborate on the matter of eating crabs. If we wait for others to finish walking before we go, then what are we doing in this industry? Wouldn't it be better to get out of the way as soon as possible?"

The head of administration shook his head secretly, noncommittal to Lear's thoughts.

"As for the third point. Indeed, as the executive said, some authors may have a misunderstanding of our model. And to eliminate these misunderstandings and get them to cooperate with the website, it is naturally our scope of work. I think as long as this model is actually implemented, they will be able to understand how much benefit it can bring them. ”

The executive had his hands on his chest, and he knew that the new president was afraid that he would not change his mind, so it was a real headache to talk about young people. Excessive self-awareness, not to mention and not to listen to other people's opinions.

If this plan doesn't work, the company's manpower and material resources will be wasted, and if the company goes bankrupt, he will have to find another job.

Of course, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is, the executive director will not blatantly continue to oppose Lear's claims here. After all, Li Er is their top boss, and people are rich and capricious, so he can't stop others from letting him spend it? But in his heart, the administrative director doesn't know how many times he has complained about Li Er's reckless approach.
