There are three websites in the novel industry, Huanjian, Zeyue, and Starting Point, and the organizational structure of the top management is different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huanjian and Ze Yue are very similar, quite a bit of a word, Kong Decheng is the largest shareholder, and his words are almost the will of Huanjian.

The reason why it is said to be 'almost', not completely, is because of the existence of Rizhao and Brother Ting, mainly Rizhao, Kong Decheng does not understand business, at least compared with Rizhao, he cannot be regarded as an expert, so Rizhao also has a great say in Huanjian.

Therefore, Huanjian's execution is very strong, but its business ability and grasp of the market are relatively weak.

As for Zeyue, Zhao Zejun, like many technology-based entrepreneurs, is the only shareholder and the person who knows the business best.

The starting point is slightly different, several founders have a certain share, there is no one person dominating, and they are all experts in the current industry, if it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Zejun, the name of the godfather of online novels should be shared by several founders of the starting point.

Of course, it is not a way to have no leader, there are thousands of families, one person in charge, and the five founders are also good at their own abilities, some are proficient in technology, some have unique ideas about the industry, and some are good at management and communication.

At present, the person surnamed Wu is the starting point, and he has the largest shares among the founders and has the strongest business ability.

Kong Decheng flew to Shanghai in person, and Mr. Wu was also very polite, taking people to the airport to greet them, and after the reception banquet, the two talked alone in the starting point office.

"Mr. Wu, I'm afraid financing is very difficult, shouldn't we change our thinking?" Kong Decheng was thinking about it all the way, in fact, there was no better way, Zeyue's method was ready-made: signing a contract.

Signing a contract is a process of removing the chaff from the chaff, using good steel on the blade, selecting capable authors, and supporting them. The website reduces the burden, and the writers who can bring benefits to the website have material incentives and a win-win situation.

Strictly speaking, it is a win-win-win, and readers can see more excellent novels.

As for those writers who are still at the 'bottom' for the time being, there is no way, online novels are not charity, and it is impossible to throw money indiscriminately.

"Heroes see the same thing!"

Mr. Wu and Kong Decheng hit it off, even if Kong Decheng didn't come to him, he would promote the signing at the starting point.

In fact, there was a plan to sign a contract within the starting point for a long time, but the time was not ripe at that time, and the impact of the signing was still inconclusive, so it was not good to implement it rashly.

Now Zeyue has taken the first step to help the starting point test the waters, and it turns out that signing a contract is definitely a good move. Although Ze Yue has taken a step to rescue him, it is still too late to catch up.

The two quickly determined the details, and the two sides were the same as before, or at the same time and with the same policy, to jointly implement the signing system.

"Mr. Kong, I have another idea. Even if we sign a contract with the author now, in terms of time, we have already slowed down Zeyue and missed the most favorable opportunity. In addition, Zeyue's benefits are generally stronger than our two, and we are also contracted, and our attraction to writers is still not as good as Zeyue. Mr. Wu said.

"Yes, so I thought, is it better to find a way to raise money?" Mr. Kong said.

"I'm afraid it's hard. Mr. Wu frowned and said, "At present, online novels do not create value by themselves, where can we find millions or even millions of financing? Take a step back and say, we can finance, Zeyue can also finance, stalemate to the end, or burning money, the bubble is getting bigger and bigger, it is not good for anyone, and you can only lose three times." ”

Mr. Wu's attitude was not what Kong Decheng expected, and he himself did not have much confidence in financing, so he thought about it and said: "What do you think of our way of publishing? Rizhao has recently been in contact with publishing houses in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and several have expressed interest. ”

"Publishing is certainly the way to go. But ......"

Mr. Wu raised his eyes and looked at Kong Decheng, paused slightly, and then continued: "However, just relying on the occasional publication of one or two hot books in Hong Kong and Taiwan is not enough to form a stable income. Fundamentally, it still can't solve the problem that online novels must create value. ”

"So what do you think should be done?"

Although he had already decided to make a deal with Kong De, when the words came to his lips, Mr. Wu still hesitated.

His idea, even in the current online novel world, is too radical.

Moreover, once it is spoken, it is equivalent to showing your hole cards to the other party, if Huanjian does not cooperate, with the current market share occupied by the starting point, relying on the starting point alone, or any of the three novel websites, do not dare to rashly implement.

When the time comes, the starting point will be very passive.

But at this time, it was already on the line, and I had to send it, to tell the truth, Mr. Wu and the senior management of the starting point had been a little scared by Ze Yue, and the other party was like a special one sent by God to deal with the starting point, and every time he could take the lead in starting point, he could do what he wanted to do at the starting point, but it was too late to do it.

It's surprisingly good every time.

Mr. Wu even suspected that there was a mole inside the starting point, and revealed the secret of the starting point to Ze Yue.

If you can join forces with Huanjian, it is the best choice, Mr. Wu believes that the next plan, as long as Zeyue is implemented one step in advance, can not only reverse all the unfavorable situations of the starting point, but also rely on this to reverse the embarrassing situation of the industry in one fell swoop, so that the starting point will become the new overlord in the online novel industry.

In the end, he decided to have a showdown with Kong Decheng, and said with blazing eyes: "I think that the two of us will implement the online novel fee system at the same time." Charge the readers!"

"Charge readers?" Kong Decheng didn't understand what Mr. Wu meant, and said, "Haven't we launched the tipping function now?"

"I mean, it's a charge by chapter, a mandatory fee!"

Kong Decheng's insensitivity made Mr. Wu very angry, and he felt like he was punched in the chest, he didn't expect that this former old man and boss in the industry was unfamiliar with the industry to this extent!

Patience explained: "The current tipping is voluntary, how much to tip, whether to tip or not is voluntary, readers can read novels even if they don't tip. My idea is that when a novel reaches a certain number of words, such as 200,000, or 80 chapters and 100 chapters, it will be forced to charge, and if you don't pay the money, you won't be able to see it. In this way, the author's income will be significantly improved, Zeyue's diligent writing award of hundreds of dollars will have no advantage, and the website will also have a continuous and stable income and begin to create value. Whether we are going to raise funds, fight price wars, or sell at a price, we are full of confidence. ”

"Mr. Wu, you're not joking with me, are you?!"

Kong Decheng stood up and looked at Mr. Kong like a monster.
