Chapter Twenty-Six: Removing the Turnip and Preserving the Essence
The editor has the author's QQ number and contact information, and the main work during this time is to contact the author one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSome of them made it clear on the spot that they refused to sign a contract, and some of them didn't reply to messages for a few days, so they can basically be counted among those who have no intention of signing a contract.
The rest is waiting and seeing, as time passes, more and more contract applications are submitted, and an approximate number can basically be determined.
In the end, more than 30% of the authors chose to leave. If you don't sign a contract, it makes no sense to stay in Zeyue.
What Zhao Zejun really cares about is not the 'many' number of writers gone, but the 'which' writers are gone. Although he had already roughly determined the composition of the writers who left behind in advance, he asked the editorial department to make a detailed count just to be on the safe side.
At the god level, none of the people with a monthly income of more than 10,000 or close to 10,000 yuan left. Some of these people were cultivated by Zhao Zejun, and some had a very good relationship with Yu Zhe, but in the final analysis, it was because they could get more money in Zeyue.
The more people who go, the more recommended resources are left for them, and the more the website supports them.
High-end writers, Zhao Zejun's current definition of this group of people is: they can support themselves by writing books and get a salary similar to that of work, but they are not rich.
Probably less than 10 percent of this group is gone.
Middle-level writers, there are a group of readers, stable updates, a month as little as four or five hundred, as many as seven or eight hundred or even thousands, in this group of people, less than 10% of them left.
The vast majority of these people can only mix up the diligent writing awards, except for the 400 yuan awarded, the rest of the income is almost in the single digits.
In fact, most of these people don't even have full attendance.
After Zeyue opened the curtain of the era of writers making money, it brought a positive impact on the industry and inspired writers to create; But on the other hand, the stimulus did have a negative effect, discouraging many entry-level writers: everyone spends the same amount of time and energy writing books, even if they can't make money, so why bother with it?
Zhao Zejun himself thinks that this negative impact is not a bad thing, but a process of removing the chaff. Even if you can't persevere, don't do it early, use this energy to do something else, and the return may not be less than the novel in the future, which is good for yourself and saves the website's recommended resources.
"What about website traffic?" Zhao Zejun asked Song Yun.
The contracted data is for writers, and the traffic of the website is mainly dependent on the readers. Zhao Zejun is constantly changing between these two concepts, except for himself, whether it is Huanjian or the starting point, he can't figure out what cards he is playing.
According to the data provided by Song Yun, Zeyue's recent traffic has not decreased because of the author's departure, but has increased slightly year-on-year.
This is not surprising.
Most of the authors who left were low-level authors, and these people couldn't take away many readers, and the authors who stayed behind, after signing the contract, completely cut off other thoughts, but could write books on the website with peace of mind. At the same time, the website has raised the Diligent Writing Award, which, to a certain extent, stimulates their enthusiasm and enthusiasm for creation.
A book is updated more frequently and has a higher word count, which naturally leads to an increase in readers.
The current situation is equal to good and bad, and Song Yun and they are still not happy.
Because from a long-term perspective, what can really support the online novel industry is, in the final analysis, a large number of low-level writers, middle-level, high-end, and god-like writers, who also emerged from the low-level writers at the beginning. In terms of quantity, low-level writers account for the vast majority of the writer industry, supporting the main traffic.
The layer-by-layer recommendation model adopted by Zeyue before is to establish a set of pyramid models and cultivate and discover talents from the broadest number of low-level writers.
Now there is a large loss of low-level writers, which inevitably makes people feel that they are destroying their foundations.
After the internal meeting, the financial accountant Tong found Zhao Zejun alone.
Zeyue's account has been in deficit for two consecutive months.
The Diligent Writing Award greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of authors, and more and more authors can get this reward, and the reward share is gradually unable to make ends meet.
Although some authors have left, the remaining authors have generally accelerated their writing speed, and there are many new authors who have entered the industry, which are rushing for Zeyue's diligent writing award, plus Zhao Zejun has increased the amount of rewards, Zeyue's funds finally can't keep up.
A very happy annoyance, the deficit is getting bigger and bigger, indicating that there are more and more writers who can insist on writing, there are more such writers, and the update speed of the website novel is stable and guaranteed, which can naturally attract more readers and improve the adhesion of readers.
But the money on hand is not enough to burn.
"Accountant Tong, you call this." Zhao Zejun took out a business card and handed it to Accountant Tong, "From now on, the other party can give us an interest-free loan of 100,000 yuan every month, and I will personally inject another 500,000 yuan into the company at one time, which is enough." ”
Accountant Tong took the business card suspiciously, very puzzled, where did Mr. Zhao get such a big face and get an interest-free loan?
But after seeing the name of the company on the business card, Accountant Tong suddenly realized.
Zejian Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.
Zeyue Network Culture Communication Co., Ltd. ......
"Mr. Zhao, this company is also yours?" Although he had already guessed seven or eight points, Accountant Tong still couldn't believe it.
The president Zhao in front of him is less than twenty, just a college student, and it is already surprising that he can start a network company.
The network company can still be reasonable, after all, they are famous college students, and they are studying related majors.
But on this business card, it is clearly a 'construction company'. A construction company that can take out an interest-free loan of 100,000 yuan a month may not be a big company, but at least it shows that the company has a certain scale, is financially sound, and is on the right track.
In other words, long before going to college, the other party founded this company and ran it well.
What is the origin of this Mr. Zhao?
Zhao Zejun smiled faintly: "Accountant Tong, go and do it." Take the formal loan contract, and when Zeyue has money in the future, he still has to pay it back. ”
"Understood." Accountant Tong put his heart back in his stomach, no wonder Mr. Zhao has such a big confidence, regardless of the blood to burn money! There are reservists behind the people, a construction company that is not small, and it can be transfused at any time.
In terms of Zeyue, the employees have their own thoughts and are uncertain, and the corresponding reaction is the reaction of Huanjian and the starting point.
Since the implementation of the contract system, the form of these two websites is 'very good'!
