Chapter Ninety-Six: Public Enemy Number One
"Collect the book! 15 words, the city first. ”
"Literature online crazy collection of books, no genre, conscience website. ”
"The Xianxia group vomits blood and collects books, starting from fifteen thousand words, as long as the books are good, there is no upper limit on the price. ”
"There is a lack of 100 fantasy serialized buyouts, and the outline plus the first 50,000 words are submitted, and there are 20 words per 1,000. ”
Under Li Jing's instructions, the editors of Literature Online were like crazy, and the competition between each genre, and even between the various groups of the same genre, instantly entered a white-hot battle.
There are even some high-quality author groups, some of which have not yet started writing, and in order to compete for the type that the author writes about himself, the editors of a company have to fight each other in the group.
Of course, after scolding each other in the group, the two immediately asked each other for milk tea in the office. Such things are not uncommon, and Zhang Yi and others are also happy to see them.
The news of the crazy collection of books on the literary online suddenly spread in the industry. Other websites have also shown no signs of weakness and have joined the frenzy of book collection. As you can see, when Literature Online threw out the signing method of buying out, it made the eyes of all authors focus on Literature Online for a while.
Compared with the fierceness of the frenzy of book collection, what makes all authors and readers refreshed, and what shocks them is the change of the online page of literature.
In the past, the website of Literature Online can be described as bloated, and the most prominent layout is the martial arts category, and there are relatively few recommended slots, on the contrary, some of them are all advertising spaces used for advertising. This kind of website layout will naturally make readers have a very poor sense of reading. However, it is not to blame them for keeping them, but rather a forced decision made by shareholders in order to quickly recoup costs.
After Li Jing took over, he immediately began to retypeset, which originally required professional people to design, which was naturally not a problem for Li Jing, so he directly found a technician and drew a sketch by himself, marking what this area is and what that area is, and he will get it directly.
The update of the typography enhances the reader's sense of reading, thus refreshing them. The reason why they were shocked was that in the updated layout, there were two new elements that immediately caught their eye.
One is the work classification section.
One is the referral bit.
The first is the classification of works, in the previous version, and even now all the websites in the industry, there are so many categories that come and go, such as martial arts, urban, mythology, etc.
But after Literature Online updated its layout, there were not only those previous categories, but also Xianxia, sports, games, supernatural, two-dimensional and other categories that they had not seen before.
This kind of move directly hits the hearts of some readers who like unpopular novels, such as the supernatural, who were previously assigned to the city and treated uniformly, and readers who like this kind of work need to search for books from the majority of urban novels, and even often have a shortage of books. Now it is separated separately, and it is clear at a glance, and the reading sense is satisfied.
The most amazing thing is not only these, in addition to the layout of the homepage, even the sub-pages of each work classification have also been updated, such as the fantasy classification, and there has even been a secondary classification.
This instantly makes all readers not calm, it's like you originally only had a general red heart sight, and suddenly you were given a quadruple scope, which was not enough, and immediately gave you an eightfold scope. Just ask if it's cool, whether it's cool?
What Oriental Fantasy, Otherworldly Continent, Dynasty Hegemony, High Martial World, etc.
In Li Jing's view, these are just a precise positioning of the customer group, but in the hearts of all readers, even his staff editors, they are tantamount to a stroke of genius.
The second is the referral position.
If the classification of works is an accurate push for readers, then the increase in recommendation slots and grading is a revolution in the online literature industry.
The big cover push of the homepage, the editorial push, the strong push, the popular push, the new book push, as well as the launch of various lists, the closure and strong push of classified web pages, etc., which is not only for readers, but also for the author like a stimulant.
Although there were big closures on various websites before, there were not many recommended slots, and there were no clear rules about what conditions this kind of recommendation slots must meet before they could be listed. Now, the recommendation slots of Literature Online have not only increased, but also set the level and conditions for each recommendation slot. Such a fair and open attitude gradually fermented in the author's circle, forming a storm and thunder.
These two killer tricks were used, and the result was that not only the industry was Yali Mountain, but even the editors of Literature Online were also Yali Mountain. Because they gradually found that even if they were crazy about collecting books, in fact, the authors who automatically came to the website to write books were much faster than them.
At this time, at the headquarters of Yanjing Reading Network, Ida responded to Yang Wenzhong's call and felt Yanjing all the way from the magic capital.
In the conference room of the headquarters of Reading.com, Ida walked in the door panting, and saw that many bigwigs in the industry had arrived.
Everyone here knows the roots, and even had some intersections to some extent, whether these intersections are disputes or cooperation, in the end, they still understand each other.
Ida is a shrewd person and quite a city, he took a brief look, and saw that except for some studio bosses who were in Yanjing, they basically belonged to studios that had a cooperative relationship with Literature Online, and he knew it in his heart.
Yang Wenzhong also came in after a while, and after a brief politeness, he began to get to the point.
"I invite you guys to come today, mainly because there is one thing I want to discuss with you. ”
"Mr. Yang is polite, you can just give me an order. ”
"That is, I support whatever Mr. Yang says. ”
"Yang is always a real person, follow you, yes. ”
In fact, everyone here knew in their hearts that they wanted to discuss something, otherwise they would not have come all the way to Yanjing, but it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to cooperate.
"Where, everyone, you're welcome. Yang Wenzhong said: "Actually, I originally planned to plan for another year, but seeing the chaos in the industry now, I am heartbroken! Vicious competition between various websites, in order to rob the author, in the major groups scolded each other. What's even more odious is that there are still people who maliciously poach authors and editors of various companies, for this kind of behavior, I am here to express my position, and we will resolutely crack down on it. ”
"I, Fengyang Chinese Network, also resolutely cracked down. ”
"That's too unusual, resolutely strike. ”
"Especially that literary online, it's just unruly, digging authors, digging editors, just the day before yesterday, one of the editors-in-chief of my company was dug up by them with sinister means. ”
For a while, the crowd was excited, and the demand for literature online became louder and louder. Yang Wenzhong saw that the timing was almost the same, and then signaled everyone to calm down.
Therefore, Yang is not talented and proposes to establish the first industry trade union in our online literature industry. Punish those websites that act recklessly, and support websites that operate conscientiously. Since I proposed, then Yang will first throw bricks and lead the way, and all members who join the trade union, my reading network will open the website channel to them. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, those who knew in advance below encouraged others to join, and some people who didn't know began to weigh the pros and cons.
"I have a question. In the midst of the noise, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.
It was the boss of ASRock Novel Network who sat in front of Ada.
"What's wrong with Mr. Hua?" Yang Wenzhong asked without frowning.
Boss Hua said: "I have no opinion on the establishment of a trade union, and I am in favor of it with both hands." The promise made by Mr. Yang just now, I, Hua, was also deeply moved by his mind. But what I'm going to talk about now is the conditions for joining a trade union, such a union can't be joined by any cat or dog! It must have a restriction, for example, a website like Literature Online, is it eligible to join? Also, like Literature Online, the people who used dishonorable means to poach me before broke the rules of the industry, such a website, if I join this union, what is the attitude of the union towards this kind of website with insufficient reputation?"
It was a tirade, but it attracted everyone's applause. After Boss Hua finished speaking, he also looked at Yang Wenzhong inadvertently, this was originally the double reed sung by the two of them. Not only did those present see through it but also those who didn't see it through, and everyone actually tacitly understood it.
Seeing Boss Hua's black face finish singing, Yang Wenzhong's red face jumped out.
Syllable!
Slamming the table, Yang Wenzhong stood up indignantly.
"Boycott! For such a bad operator, I Yang doesn't care how the trade union will deal with it, but I resolutely resist it. In case you don't know, on the very day I sent you the invitation, we at Reading.com began a full-scale boycott of Literature Online. Including our company's studios, some of the authors who originally wrote books on Literature Online have all been recalled. ”
"Good!"
"Mr. Yang is mighty!"
"Just like that, we're all withdrawing. ”
"Yes, withdraw all our authors, without us, and see what he takes online to those readers. ”
"Not only do they have to withdraw, but they have to do it quickly! If they have recovered from this time, it will be too late. ”
For a time, Literature Online instantly became the number one public enemy of the entire industry.
