Chapter 33 Laying out the future

Lu Wenbin, who tried online writing in his previous life and hoped to earn living expenses, was even a street writer in the eyes of others, and even completely dispelled the idea of making money by writing in the end. But I still have some understanding of the situation of the literary website in the previous life.

Although the current online literature of the Yanhuang Empire seems to be showing a trend of diversified development. But Lu Wenbin feels that the large number of literary websites has made the competition a little disorderly, and there is a situation of competition among the heroes.

If you can't stand out from the competition, then waiting for the final result of the site may be to be eliminated. After all, the authorship mobility of the Yanhuang Empire's literary website is much more frequent than in previous lives.

At present, many people who are engaged in the creation of online novels are mostly part-time, writing while working to earn some income. The mentality of many online authors is similar to that of Lu Wenbin when he entered the industry in his previous life.

If you don't concentrate, how can you write well?

Maybe this is not absolute, but the novels that can really gain public recognition and even become classics are written by the author with energy. If you don't take your work seriously, it's hard to be truly successful.

Even if the major literary websites break out from time to time that a certain author earns more than 100,000 or even more than 1 million yuan a month, trying to attract more literature lovers to join the author team. But how many people can really succeed?

Talent and persistence, for an online writer, the latter may be more important. It is not denied that there is an author who has become famous in a book, but most ordinary authors have succeeded in the end because of persistence.

For many websites today, they are focusing on well-known and top online authors, and Lu Wenbin attaches more importance to the favored group of authors with medium and low manuscript fees. Whoever has more authors will have the capital to rise in the future.

Today's vast literature network seems to be a first-class website in the Yanhuang Literature Network. But in fact, there is also a big crisis. Once there are no authors to innovate, it is inevitable that the number of website users will decrease.

Lu Wenbin, who was aware of these hidden dangers, decided to get involved at this time. It is also because he understands the great value that the big IP of online literature can produce in the future better than other operators of online literature.

It's almost impossible to buy and sell at a loss, so why not do it?

Not accepting the gift of shares, but choosing to spend money to invest in shares, is more of a show of sincerity. In addition, Lu Wenbin also hopes to use the platform of Haohan Literature Network to expand his future layout in the entertainment industry.

In the face of Lu Wenbin's inquiry, Liu Bixue thought for a while and said: "At present, I own 90% of the shares of the website, 5% of the editor-in-chief of Niu is 5%, and the remaining 5% are the original shares I left to other meritorious officials of the website.

According to the actual valuation of my website by investors, it is about 80 million. I wonder how many shares Mr. Lu plans to take? One thing I have to say is that I will not give up the controlling stake. ”

For this literary website created single-handedly, Liu Bixue naturally would not give it to others. The controlling stake, which he will keep no matter what. Explaining this situation in advance is also for unnecessary misunderstandings.

Such a straightforwardness made Lu Wenbin, who heard this, shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Liu, you really look up to me!" With a market value of 80 million, even if I want to buy 10% of the shares, I'm afraid I won't be able to take out 8 million for the time being.

So be it! In business, Mr. Liu invited me to join, and I think I can bring some changes to your website. Of course, this change is good. And I am also optimistic about Haohan.com, or I believe in Mr. Liu's original intention.

In just a few years, Mr. Liu has been able to develop the original investment of 3 million to 80 million today. This kind of money-making speed, I'm afraid I can't find a few. But ten percent of the shares, I think it's a bit insufficient.

If Mr. Liu believes me, I will invest in the future income of the ghost blowing the lamp and the income from the new book. Buying 20% of your company's shares, I wonder if Mr. Liu agrees?

Of course, if the results of the new book are not as good as I expected, then the investment can also be declared over. After all, if I can't afford to buy shares, how can I ask for Mr. Liu's shares for nothing? ”

Twenty percent of the shares is enough to make Lu Wenbin the second largest shareholder of Haohan.com. Even if there are still people who will buy shares in the future, Liu Bixue, who still chooses to control the controlling stake, will not be less than 51% of the shares.

This also means that in the future, if Liu Bixue wants to sell the company's shares, he can sell up to 19%. If Liu Bixue refuses to sell 20 percent of his shares, Lu Wenbin would rather give up the investment.

After all, there is a major shareholder with a controlling stake in the head, not to mention, but also a second shareholder. With such a joint-stock company, Lu Wenbin naturally does not want to participate in it. I really want to find an online literature website to cooperate, and I believe that I don't have to worry about the partner.

thought that he could become a millionaire with 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp', but Lu Wenbin suddenly found that even if Liu Bixue was willing to sell some of his shares, he would not be able to take out the money to buy the shares, and even had to use the proceeds of the second book as collateral.

'Looks like I'm so poor!' ’

Lu Wenbin, who sighed two sentences in his heart, gave his own decision. In the end, how Liu Bixue chooses depends on Liu Bixue's courage. If it is less than 20 percent, Lu Wenbin will not agree to buy shares.

After listening to Lu Wenbin's request, in Liu Bixue's opinion, he planned to give Lu Wenbin 23% of the shares. But now he heard that Lu Wenbin was going to buy 20% of his shares, which really surprised him.

An investment of 16 million is a lot of money that many people have to think through. But Lu Wenbin dared to make such a choice, which shows that he is really optimistic about the future development of the vast literature network. Of course, Lu Wenbin can't get this 16 million for the time being.

Just when Liu Bixue was thinking about it, Lu Wenbin also smiled at the right time and said: "Mr. Liu, I know that this requirement is a bit difficult, but this is also why I am really optimistic about the future of your website and hope to make some related investments."

I'm afraid I won't have much time to pay attention to the business of the website in the future. The career I hope to do in the future is more to develop in the entertainment industry. After all, I am a screenwriter, and I will definitely enter the film and television industry in the future.

If you want to buy 20% of the shares, you also want to enjoy a certain right to speak. Of course, this kind of thing doesn't have to be decided so quickly, and Mr. Liu can also think about it. In fact, I also need to think about it.

After all, for me now, I can still take out a few million. But if you really want to invest tens of millions, I also need to discuss it with my family. Regarding this matter, Mr. Liu can also think about it, and he doesn't need to give me an answer now. ”

'Okay, since you have this sincerity, then I will also think about it carefully. After all, although the company is wholly owned by me, I also need to discuss it with the company's management. ’

'Yes! To prove that I am genuinely interested in investing in your website, I will take the time to write you a proposal for the future development of your website. At that time, Mr. Liu can also see if I am qualified to become a shareholder of your website. ’

Even if Lu Wenbin can see Liu Bixue's sincerity in wooing him, in Lu Wenbin's opinion, he also needs to prove his worth. A person who simply relies on money to join the shares, I don't think it will be respected by the website management.

Only by letting others see that Lu Wenbin's joining is actually the luck of Haohan.com, then Lu Wenbin's status in the company may be respected in the future. After all, most people who are engaged in writing work are a little arrogant!

After the dinner reception, Lu Wenbin didn't keep Liu Bixue and others too much. Some things about copyright will have to wait until tomorrow. And tonight, he has to go out with Chu Xuan for a pastime!

Chu Xuan, who returned to the hotel room, said with surprise in his mind: "Fifth brother, how much did you earn from this book?" ”

'Not much! Now it's less than four million! By the time the novel is finished, there should be an income of eight or nine million! ’

'Wow grass! Is it so profitable to write web novels? ’

Chu Xuan, who knew some of Lu Wenbin's family background, was naturally very surprised to hear at the dinner table earlier that Lu Wenbin planned to buy 20% of the shares of Haohan Literature Network.

Even if Liu Bixue does not calculate according to the exaggerated market value, he can invest 20% of the shares, at least 16 million. Even Chu Xuan, who has a good family background, still thinks that this is an astronomical amount.

Unconsciously, Lu Wenbin, who had the most ordinary family background in the dormitory, became the first person among the six people to have the opportunity to become a multimillionaire. And all this is just because Lu Wenbin wrote a novel.

Maybe this situation is amazing, but Chu Xuan also understands that not everyone has such luck and ability. There are a lot of people who write online novels, why can't some people even earn a living expenses?

There is no fluke in success, even if Chu Xuan is very envious of Lu Wenbin for digging the first pot of gold in his life. But he knew that even if he was asked to write online novels, he might not have such luck. After all, writing a novel is not an easy task!
