Chapter 432: The Temptation from China Mobile
"Bai Da, have you returned to China?"
After 314 chatted with Huang Yifan privately, Huang Yifan's TT never stopped.
Successively, the editors of Lian Heng and Phantom Moon sent invitations to Huang Yifan.
However, for both websites, Huang Yifan refused.
The reason for the rejection is not because he wrote a book and competed with these websites before, everyone has different positions, there will definitely be competition, in fact, Huang Yifan has no malice towards these websites. The reason for the refusal is only because the two websites have fallen far behind the starting point and the creation. Huang Yifan is not a saint, how can he save the entire website by one person.
Moreover, he is not familiar with these two websites, and Huang Yifan will not consider it.
Immediately after "Lianheng" and "Phantom Moon" is the starting point.
However, it is estimated that Huang Yifan didn't pay attention when he was chatting with Lian Heng and Phantom Moon just now, so when Huang Yifan sent a message, the other party did not react, probably thinking that Huang Yifan was offline. When he was about to quit TT, another website that made Huang Yifan have some surprises, and suddenly dug up Huang Yifan's corner.
The name of this site is called and read.
He Reading is a mobile phone reading platform owned by China Mobile, and Huang Yifan also relied on China Mobile's "He Reading" mobile phone reading platform to become a god and win the crown.
It's just that this website generally never recruits authors, they only cooperate with websites, why did they come to dig themselves?
"Mr. Zhu, don't you and reading not accept authors?"
Contacting Huang Yifan is and reading the editor-in-chief. Although Huang Yifan is not the author of He Reading, because many of Huang Yifan's works have achieved remarkable results in He Reading, he also has the contact information with the editor-in-chief of Reading "Zhu Men". I've had a little chat before, but after all, it's just a cooperation platform, and I'm not particularly familiar with it.
"The online literature industry is changing too fast, and we and reading have to step up their pace of change. ”
And reading editor-in-chief Zhu Men sent a smile, "Bai Da, are you interested in coming to us and reading." ”
"I hadn't thought about this before, and now I don't know how to make a decision. ”
"Haha, then I will make a decision on the conditions for digging you, and I believe you will be able to make a decision. ”
"Oh, Mr. Zhu, I'm very interested in what conditions. ”
"Fifty-fifty. ”
didn't say anything else, Zhu Men directly typed out a few words.
Seeing the fifty-fifty division, Huang Yifan couldn't believe it.
For a long time, "and reading" has relied on China Mobile's monopoly resources, and in the original 2G network era, it monopolized the entire mobile phone reading business in China. It is precisely because of the incomparably strong monopoly advantage of Heyue that Heyue has always occupied an absolute advantage in cooperating with other platforms.
At that time, the way they chose to work together was not to work with the author, but directly with the platform.
Moreover, the profit distribution of cooperation is 60% and reading, and 40% of the cooperation platform.
Maybe you can't understand it, so let's take an example.
If you cooperate with Reading and the starting point, then, the starting point works are sold on the reading platform for an income of 10,000 yuan, and the reading will get 6 percent, which is 6,000 yuan, and the starting point can only get 4 percent, 4,000 yuan.
Maybe you think that this is just one percent more than fifty-five points, and 6,000 yuan is about the same as 4,000 yuan, which is nothing. However, be aware that the author is not able to work with and read. That is to say, if Huang Yifan's works want to move up, they must rely on the starting point, and then the starting point will cooperate with He Reading, and in the end, the manuscript fee generated by Huang Yifan will be divided between the two sides and then divided.
and the division between reading and the starting point is 6:4, and the division between the starting point and Huang Yifan is 5:5. The two sides were divided, and the manuscript fee for reading was 10,000 yuan, and Huang Yifan could only get 2,000 yuan. Moreover, there must be an 11% manuscript fee tax in these 2,000 yuan, and in addition, the 2,000 yuan must also be deducted as a channel operation fee, and it is estimated that I don't even know if there is 1,500 yuan in my hand.
I don't know how many authors secretly scolded and read hundreds of times for such cooperation terms.
It's just, what's the solution.
And reading is China Mobile's, China Mobile is national, they have a monopoly of resources, you either cooperate or walk away.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, he and Reading actually cooperated directly with the author, and a 5:5 split was exposed. Judging from Huang Yifan's sales at the beginning, such a share can directly allow Huang Yifan to earn tens of millions of yuan more. If this is another author, I am afraid that I will really be tempted by such a share.
It's just that Huang Yifan thought of another question, "Mr. Zhu, if I go to your website, how will your cooperation with other platforms proceed?"
"Other platforms will continue to cooperate, of course, we will sign you directly, and future resources will definitely recommend you. You can rest assured of this. Moreover, your work is very suitable for us and the reading platform, as long as you come to us and read, it is easy to pay tens of millions of yuan a year. After all, at this point you no longer need to share with the starting point, we just have half a point. ”
"Mr. Zhu, let me think about it. ”
Still didn't agree so quickly, Huang Yifan chose to think about it for a few days first.
"No problem, I believe that Bai Da you must have a vision, with your writing talent and our mobile monopoly resources, I think, there is no website more suitable for you than us. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. ”
ended the conversation with "Zhu Men", Huang Yifan had actually thought about it.
The reason why he didn't refuse at the first time is just because after all, he has cooperated before, and it's not good to lose face.
In fact, although Huang Yifan didn't know which platform the book was on for the time being, he had a decision in his heart.
It is good to share it with a reading platform, and it is also tempting to divide it into five or five, but it is a fatal factor with reading.
This factor, that is, and reading is a state-owned enterprise.
Everyone knows that if it weren't for the monopoly advantage of a large number of state-owned enterprises, they would have been wiped out by some private enterprises long ago.
Moreover, with the urine nature of this state-owned enterprise, Huang Yifan is very optimistic about the future of reading.
Especially now that Huang Yifan is poached directly, this makes Huang Yifan feel that reading is already going downhill.
Back then, reading was so powerful, he could have worked directly with the author. However, they don't need to train authors, they don't need to build a PC platform, and they can get 6% of the income with ease and trouble, so they don't want to spend so much effort to build an online novel website. It is only in recent years that the interest in mobile app clients and the dominance of reading have finally been challenged.
Just like the TT reading app client of Genesis, it almost divides half of the market with reading. Once monopolized 100% of the market has been leveraged by others, such a platform, such a company, if Huang Yifan cooperates with them, it will be a brain in water.
After chatting with Zhu Men, at this time, the chief screenwriter of the starting point, "Youming", also replied with a message.
"I'm sorry, I just thought you weren't there, so I went to deal with something else. ”
Youming turned out to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the starting point, and after the starting point was divided into two, Youming was one of the few editors-in-chief who stayed at the starting point.
The editor-in-chief Huang Yifan is also familiar, at the beginning, Youming was a well-known author of the starting point, and later joined the starting point because of his love for novels. It wasn't until the starting point was divided into two that Youming was also valued by the starting point and promoted to become the editor-in-chief of the starting point, and was fully responsible for the entire starting point novel network business.
Naturally, for the major event of Huang Yifan's return to China, Youming also got the news and contacted Huang Yifan as soon as possible.

PS: The starting point is divided into two major events in the online literature circle, so Xiaobai must explain some background clearly. At the same time, Xiaobai has also personally experienced this change, and I believe that the subsequent plot will make everyone enthusiastic. (To be continued.) )
