Chapter 54: Choose One of the Two

"What should I do?"

After the people from the General Information Bureau left, there was a moment of silence in the meeting room.

It was Bao Jianfeng who broke the silence, "Old Wu, it's a big deal that the fish is dead and the net is broken, I don't believe it, they can still close our website." ”

"Tingfeng, we can't be rash, we are dealing with the government, not with other companies. ”

Hou Qingchen took over.

"Alas, it's the biggest headache when dealing with the government. If it's with the Phantom Moon or Lian Heng, no matter what tricks they make, we have a way to crack it. But this government ......"

As he spoke, Bao Jianfeng grabbed his hair, looking crazy.

Although Bao Jianfeng's personality is more rushing, how can he not understand the truth, even if he said just now that the fish is dead and the net is broken, he also knows that if he goes against the government, he will completely find death. What fish dies and the net breaks, it is definitely the fish that will die, and the net will not break. Besides, Bao Jian Peak didn't want to start from the beginning.

"Actually, Mr. Xie, Mr. Wu, Mr. Hou, things are not as unbearable as we imagined. ”

At this time, the editor-in-chief 314, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Yang Chen, what do you think, tell me. ”

The three of them looked at Yang Chen.

"I saw the meaning of the two just now, whether it is the one surnamed Li or the director Ji, in fact, they have a deep study of online literature. ”

"Yes, what Director Ji said just now, the writing is not enough, and the use of meat to make it up simply scares me. I thought I had run into a big fan of web novels. ”

Wu Wenfei nodded, approving 314's idea.

"By the way, there is also that Li Rong, although he speaks more harshly, he also has a deep understanding of online literature. I just don't know how this guy has such a big prejudice against us. ”

Bao Jianfeng also said.

"I don't think they have any prejudices against us, after all, although some of their government officials are high-minded, they have always been cautious and cautious in officialdom. We have not offended him, and he is in a position of great power, and it is impossible for us to embarrass us. In my opinion, whether it is Director Ji or Director Li, they have actually expressed their position. ”

"First, online literature has entered their sight, and the state has ideas to enter management. ”

"Second, the so-called management, as Director Ji said, is not for suppression, but for standardization. Once the state has completed the regulation of online literature. Then, it is not impossible to break online literature into the mainstream market. ”

As soon as 314 said this, the other three suddenly woke up.

"Yang Chen, are you saying that this review may not be a disaster, but an opportunity?"

Saying this, the worried looks that everyone had been looking at were relieved.

Several people are elites in the field of online literature, and they have struggled in this industry for more than ten years, where would they not know the contradiction between mainstream and online literature. However, mainstream literature and online literature have not been able to unify until now. This is manifested in two aspects, one is that there is a great contradiction between traditional authors and online literature authors, and the other is that the state does not recognize online literature.

Among them, the country's lack of recognition of online literature is a more important factor.

If online literature can be recognized by the state at this time, then this will be an opportunity for online literature to enter the mainstream.

Thinking of this, everyone is extremely looking forward to it.

Although online novels have developed well for more than ten years, especially in recent years, they have developed rapidly. However, without state support and without the premise of national recognition, online literature has always been in the grip of development.

Take the online writer rich list as an example, the writers on the list are supposed to be something to celebrate and praise. However, because online novels are not recognized by the state, online literature is not recognized by the mainstream. This is also the point that after this list came out, it sparked a discussion in the media.

Some people say that online novels are too good at making money.

Some people also say that those online writers write something that actually sells for so much money.

At the end of the day, the writers who made the list only made money, but they didn't make a name for themselves.

However, if online literature has nothing to do with fame and is just a product of the economy, then it cannot be called literature.

This is also one of the arguments that traditional writers have been attacking web novels.

But now, an opportunity seems to have arisen.

The state stepped up.

"Yes, I think that's our biggest opportunity. Even, we can take this opportunity to surpass Lianheng and Phantom Moon in one fell swoop, and become the No1 in online literature. ”

Yang Chen replied affirmatively.

"Yang Chen, your point of view is very unique. However, in terms of specific operations, I am afraid that we still have a difficulty that we cannot overcome. ”

After a brief moment of excitement between the three of them, Wu Wenfei said again.

"It could be an opportunity for us, but if it doesn't work well, it's a disaster for us. Just like this online literature guidance document, we should listen to it or not. If we don't listen, then the state will definitely deal with us. But if we follow this opinion, I am afraid that half of the authors of our starting point will suffer. Especially those high-end authors, if we do this, even if they don't change jobs, they may be poached by other sites. I don't believe that Phantom Moon and Lian Heng would be too stupid not to make a move in this opportunity. ”

"yes, what can I do. If at this time, Phantom Moon and Lian Heng will have a buyout poaching when we delete the book. Not to mention those great god authors, even some ordinary authors may be poached by them. Moreover, our large-scale book closure this time is also very detrimental to the credibility of our platform. ”

Hou Qingchen added.

"This is also our biggest crisis right now. ”

Yang Chen also frowned, not knowing what to do.

"Yang Chen, you are the editor-in-chief, you can tell me. If we adopt the method of mass deletion of books at that time, how many authors will still be willing to follow us?"

Sword Peak asked 314.

"This ......"

Yang Chen shook his head, "It's really hard to estimate." ”

"Although we delete books, we don't delete all books, but they involve violence, pornography, and crime...... and some other works. However, this is the case in the online environment now. Everyone's novels deal with these things to a greater or lesser extent, and we haven't mentioned that we shouldn't write about them before. If this is deleted directly, I am afraid that many authors will be dissatisfied. In addition, web writing has now become an industry. In this case, everyone's interests are involved, and if we say that it will be sealed, it is tantamount to smashing their jobs. ”

"We don't want to compensate some of the authors of the closed books. ”

At this time, Bao Jianfeng proposed.

It's just that after Bao Jianfeng finished speaking, Hou Qingchen, who was in charge of finance, shook his head, "Although we have been much better than before in the past two years, the company's remaining funds have not been much. Even if we can compensate some authors, we can't make up for most of them, and there will always be some authors who suffer. Moreover, it is useless for us to even compensate for estimates. I believe that the Phantom Moon and Lian Heng will sell at a higher price than us at that time. Among the three websites, we are the smallest, and it is almost impossible to deal with two at the same time at this time. ”

At this point, the four fell silent again.

This is not just an opportunity, but also an incredibly difficult challenge.

If you succeed in the challenge, you will naturally rise to the top, and if you fail in the challenge, you will fall into a place of no return.

Now the starting point is facing such a choice.

It's just that, at this moment, Editor-in-Chief 314 suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Guys, I have thought of a solution. ”

"What's the solution?"

"I wonder if you have paid attention to an author and the genre he created?"

"Yang Chen, who are you talking about?"

"The first white in the world, and the little white stream he created. ”
