"Of course, there are pros and cons to charging for online novels, and in general, the pros outweigh the cons. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Zejun has been thinking about this question since the day he was ready to use online novels as the entry point of his online career: where is the 'benefit' of online novels, or why is charging fees the only way for online novels to be formalized and commercialized, and what problems does it essentially solve?

It is not only necessary to know what it is, that is, to promote the charging system, but also to know why it is true and why it is promoted, so as to grasp the essential law of the healthy development of the entire online novel industry.

The other party came today, went around and said a lot, nothing more than touching his hole cards step by step, the last sentence is probably his real purpose, Zhao Zejun weighed it a little, and decided to show the cards first to dispel Mr. Wu's doubts.

Of course, there are risks associated with showing your cards first. If you can get to the starting point and cooperate with each other, it is the best choice at present, and the reason why Zhao Zejun has not implemented the VIP fee system is also because Zeyue's market share is not enough to dominate, and the unilateral charge is very risky.

If this Mr. Wu listened to his 'heartfelt words' and figured out Zeyue's hole cards, but turned around and shot backhand, Zhao Zejun also had a backhand.

Actually, it's not an afterthought, but it's just a step ahead of some future plans.

Along the way, there are several advantages.

First, and most superficially, after charging, the website has a large-scale economic source to achieve stable value output. It has completely got rid of the embarrassing situation of relying on capital injection to manage insiders. The fee profit is enough to support the operation, development, and growth of the website, so that people who really know how to do it have the economic strength to explore the road of online novel development, and the industry to embark on the road of healthy development.

Second, cultivate a group of professional online novel writers.

This 'major' is not just a 'full-time', not going to work to write novels. Rather, it means that through generous economic incentives, a group of capable and talented writers can devote more energy to the study of writing skills, the innovation of subject matter, and even the innovation of routines, and other technical work.

If online novels want to develop into an industry, they can't just rely on talent, but have a set of effective theories.

It is also a truth that if any industry wants to develop benignly, it is impossible to do without theoretical support, and there is a difference between online novels and scientific research theories, the latter theory can be carefully demonstrated through 'bold guesses', and the theoretical basis of online novels must not be 'guesses', it must be derived from practical tests, effective, and constantly advancing with the times.

Writers on the front line are the most direct explorers and practitioners of theory. With a steady income, they have more energy to explore fiction.

Third, the industrialization of online novels. At present, the industry is far from being an industry, just imagine, the practitioners of the industry can't even guarantee their lives, let alone produce high-income people, how can it be possible to attract talented people, naturally the so-called 'online novel industry' will not appear, and the online novel economy can only be a bubble after all.

The ability of the top management to make professional decisions, the profit of practitioners, and the generation of a unique set of theories in the industry are three factors that add up to make online novels an independent and valuable 'network economic model'.

And the basis of all this is the fee.

Of course, at present, only middle-level and high-level writers can really earn enough money to live, and the majority of grassroots writers are difficult to make a large profit because of the small number of readers.

All industries are a pyramid model, big below, above, as long as people can see the hope of making money, there is a 'promotion path', it will continue to attract more and more people to join the industry.

Moreover, it is precisely because of the low income of the low-level authors, with the contract system, that the website can attract a large number of low-level authors at the same time, and can also travel lightly, without paying for the low-level writers, to avoid appearing in the Three Kingdoms War, Huanjian and the starting point in order to attract readers, regardless of the good and the bad, eat a large number of 'poison pills' embarrassing situation.

After the fee, the writer makes money, earns the reader's money, and the writer can make money, which means that the website can also make money, and the two sides have a positive interaction.

Mr. Wu nodded frequently and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!" I thought I had thought about it well enough, but after listening to Mr. Zhao's high-level arguments, I realized that I was thinking too shallowly. Shame!"

Zhao Zejun smiled in his heart, don't be ashamed, these things of mine are all theoretical knowledge based on your exploration for more than ten years.

"Mr. Zhao, do you think it is appropriate to implement the charging system now?!" Mr. Wu asked.

Zhao Zejun did not answer directly, but said: "I think there are two prerequisites for the implementation of the fee system. ”

"Which two?" Mr. Wu blurted out.

"First, online novels have developed to a relatively mature stage, with a relatively large number of readers, authors, and book collections, all of which are indispensable, otherwise there are few readers and few books at all, even if everyone spends money to read books, that little money is not enough to support an industry. ”

"Okay!" Mr. Wu patted his thigh, "At present, just our three websites, the number of readers has exceeded one million, and the collection of tens of thousands of books is ripe, I think this condition is ripe." ”

"Exactly!" Zhao Zejun smiled slightly.

Mr. Wu also laughed, "So, what about the second condition?"

"Second, it is for personal career considerations. Mr. Wu, we came out to do things because we had ambitions in our chests and ideals for this industry, but no one wanted to waste half a day and make wedding dresses for others. ”

"Very realistically. Mr. Wu nodded.

Zhao Zejun said: "Once the fee system is implemented, it will inevitably lead to the loss of a large number of readers. In the past, the Huanjian family was dominant, and there was this opportunity, but it didn't do it, and now the three websites are competing for hegemony and the market is divided into three points, so no one dares to take the lead in opening the charging model, for fear of being taken advantage of by the other two. Unless ......"

Mr. Wu answered: "Unless, there are two websites that join forces and open charges at the same time!"

……

The online novel world has not been peaceful recently, and under the ground of this soil, it seems that an earth dragon is about to break out of the ground, writhing restlessly.

Earthquakes that shook the entire industry happened again and again.

The alliance between Qiqi Chinese Network and Zeyue jointly draws on the signing system of Zeyue Chinese Network.

No one expected that the menacing 'Huanqi' alliance did not make any substantive moves at all, but instead copied Zeyue's policy in the same way.

Just when everyone was waiting to see if there was any follow-up action in the Huanqi Alliance, another big news broke out.

At the same time, the starting point and Zeyue implemented a fee system for online novels.

Commonly known as the 'VIP' system.

A web novel, after passing the contract, according to the grades, a series of recommendations, excellent grades or more than 300,000 words, the chapter begins to charge.

For every 1,000 words, two cents are charged, and after taxes and fees, the website and the author split half.

The eyeballs fell to the ground, the Huanqi alliance split, and the starting point and Ze Yue began to join forces again? Ze Yue, who had been silent, what did he do in it, and quietly disintegrated the other party's alliance?

However, it doesn't matter who is allied with whom.

Will the VIP fee system, a measure that defies the world's condemnation, bring online novels to heaven or hell?
