Chapter 32: Please give me advice
On the evening of arriving in Mingzhu, Lu Wenbin enjoyed a really sumptuous reception. It's just that for such a reception, Lu Wenbin didn't think it was delicious. In his opinion, it's not as good as the big plate of chicken made by his mother!
understands that dining in this kind of five-star hotel is more about paying attention to a style, coupled with the other party's hospitality, Lu Wenbin is naturally not easy to refuse. What's more, he went to Mingzhu this time, and he also hoped to have a good relationship with the senior management of Haohan.com.
As for bringing Chu Xuan over as a companion, he also hoped to introduce some contacts to Chu Xuan. As Chu Xuan enters the society and begins to work, he naturally needs to establish some contacts, which will help him develop in the TV station in the future.
It's just that Lu Wenbin didn't expect that Chu Xuan's father would be the director of a department, and even the leader in charge of variety shows. In this way, if you want to cooperate with Pearl TV in the future, at least you won't be in the dark.
When negotiating in the room before, Lu Wenbin had personally promised that the new book would still be released on Haohan.com. Liu Bixue, who received this recognition, naturally seemed very happy. In his opinion, at least for a while, there is no need to worry about Lu Wenbin jumping ship.
During the meal, Liu Bixue also tried to introduce the future plan of the website. Introducing these situations is also to tell Lu Wenbin that in the future, Haohan.com will pay more attention to authors like him than now.
It's just that after listening to Liu Bixue's words, Lu Wenbin suggested with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I agree with your opinion, the number and quality of authors do determine the future of literary websites." You can sign a long-term contract, not necessarily everyone will sign it.
Even after signing a long-term contract, your website will give more priority recommendations and share ratios. But in some cases, it will also discourage the author's enthusiasm for creation. Even in the end, it may backfire.
If they really want to change jobs, even if they sign a contract, can't they choose to breach the contract? If they really deal with Bo Gongtang, I believe in the public opinion on the Internet, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to the company.
Of course, it cannot be denied that after signing a long-term contract, your income guarantee system can indeed benefit many authors. But is there one thing Mr. Liu has ever thought about, who cares about the guaranteed income of a really accomplished author?"
'What does Mr. Lu mean?'
From Lu Wenbin's words, Liu Bixue can hear more or less that Lu Wenbin is not optimistic about the long-term contract system that Haohan.com is about to implement. This kind of practice that seems to prevent other websites from digging up authors is a symptom rather than a cure for Lu Wenbin.
In the face of Liu Bixue's inquiry, Lu Wenbin also said in a timely manner: "Since Mr. Liu wants to build the vast literary network into a well-known literary brand website in China, I think it is better to find a way to care for people."
According to the results of the author's work subscription, it is divided into several grades, and the treatment enjoyed by each grade is also different. In this way, it will not only stimulate the self-motivation of the author, but also make the well-known author feel the preferential treatment given by your website.
In addition, the guarantee system can also be implemented, but the authors who benefit are best those who do not have good grades, but who are updated and stable and love to create. The quality of their work may not be very good, but there are a lot of them!
As long as these authors can bring traffic and users to the website, it will also help to strengthen the user stickiness of the website, so that users feel that they can always find their favorite style of works on the vast network.
Of course, if you want to get the guarantee system, there are also some hard requirements. For example, the number of update days per month must not be less than 27 days, and the number of updated words per day must not be less than 6,000. In this way, it can also stimulate the author's enthusiasm for renewal.
Although I rarely read readers' comments online, I know that many readers, if they really like a work, will rush to update it every day. If the author can update it every day, these users will read it every day.
As long as they enter the company's website and read the updates of their favorite works, they will always pick some new books to read on the website, right?
This is the goal that many portals have been pursuing, and it is also applicable to literary websites!
After listening to Lu Wenbin's suggestion, Liu Bixue said thoughtfully: "It seems that Mr. Lu also has some experience in running a website!"
As long as Mr. Liu doesn't think I'm a good worker! After all, the better the development of the website, the higher the income of us authors! In addition, I am an author myself, so it is normal for me to have some experience.
And at the level of readers, I think the website can also appropriately launch some feedback measures for readers. In addition to the top-up discount, is it possible to give the reader some honors, for example, to give his account something special?'
'Please also ask Mr. Lu to give me advice!'
Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the side, watched Liu Bixue even say the words of 'teaching', and also admired the fifth brother's eloquence and ability. Previously learning that Lu Wenbin was the author of 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp', Chu Xuan was also very surprised.
The reason is, he is also a loyal reader of this novel. It's just that I never thought that this book would be written by Lu Wenbin!
Lu Wenbin also talked about some of the promotion strategies of the network from the previous life. After listening, without waiting for Liu Bixue to speak, Lingtong said with a surprised face: "Reward tens of thousands of dollars at one time?
'Sister Ya, in our opinion, spending tens of thousands of yuan on a reward just because a book is good-looking does not seem worth it. But for some rich people, what is the value of spending tens of thousands of dollars at a time?
There is a saying on the Internet that I believe several people should have heard, it is difficult to buy a happy lord if you have money. For some readers, they read novels after excitement and fantasy. And a high reward will also bring them the admiration and praise of others.
Spending some money, becoming an object of admiration in the eyes of others, and being able to get the author's gratitude, do you think there will be a reward? Most importantly, it will make them feel that they are still different from ordinary readers. ’
Isn't this how the so-called local tyrants and gods of the starting point network in the previous life came out? What's more, the income from tipping is actually an extra income for the website and the author. If you have money, why not make it?
It's just that after Lu Wenbin finished speaking, Liu Bixue suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was not only different in the creation of novels. He also has his own unique views on the operation of online literature websites.
After thinking about it, Liu Bixue suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, have you ever thought about joining our website? I mean, if Mr. Lu is willing to join, I can give Mr. Lu some shares of the company, and we will jointly operate the website." ”
Liu Bixue, who was engaged in the IT industry in his early years, finally funded the creation of Haohan Literature Network because of his love for online literature. After several years of development and investment, the market value of Haohan Literature Network is now nearly 100 million.
But in fact, the annual turnover of the vast literature network now, deducting the income to the author and the website operation fee, Liu Bixue can actually make not much money every year. This made Liu Bixue feel that he must find a way to improve the company's revenue and output value.
Although Lu Wenbin in front of him is the first time he has met, his speech and demeanor are different from ordinary young people. Especially for the business strategy of online literature, Lu Wenbin has his own unique opinions, which is very rare.
In addition, inviting Lu Wenbin to join the company as a shareholder is also the only way for Liu Bixue to feel that this is the only way not to worry about Lu Wenbin being pulled away by others. With the income that Lu Wenbin brought to the website, he would not suffer a loss if he sent some shares.
Lu Wenbin, who heard this, was indeed a little surprised by Liu Bixue's sudden invitation. In fact, not only him, but even the other three people present were shocked by what Liu Bixue said.
Especially Niu Xueli, who is the editor-in-chief, even if he owns five percent of the company's shares. But the website can have today, Niu Xueli can be said to have contributed a lot. But someone wanted to invest in shares earlier, but Liu Bixue rejected it!
Perhaps seeing Lu Wenbin's hesitation, Liu Bixue also said directly: "Mr. Lu, I know that this invitation is a bit abrupt, but I also sincerely invite." I can see that Mr. Lu is very optimistic about the future of online literature.
Back then, I used 3 million to create the vast literature network, and I also hoped to promote the development of Yanhuang online literature. But more than that, I am optimistic about the future of online literature, and I think the future of online literature is promising.
Although some people wanted to invest in shares earlier, they all came for profit, and I rejected all of them. Even though there was a shortage of funds for the website during the period, I still persevered, just because of the original intention at the beginning of the establishment of the website. ”
From these words, Lu Wenbin could feel the sincerity of Liu Bixue's invitation. But he still shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu, thank you very much for your appreciation, just if you give away shares, I am afraid that I will be ashamed!"
Hearing this answer, Liu Bixue was somewhat disappointed. But for the three people next to him, they all felt a little incomprehensible. One has to give shares, and the other just doesn't. Are these two people stupid?
At this moment, Lu Wenbin continued: "If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, I can consider investing in stocks." It's just that I want to know, based on the actual market value of your company at the moment, how many shares of the company can Mr. Liu sell?"
Don't want free shares, but be willing to invest in shares according to market value. Such an answer really made Liu Bixue glance at Lu Wenbin again. He knew that it might really be a wise decision to invite the young man in front of him to join the website!
