Chapter 10: Undercurrents

Rizhao, the big moderator of Huanjian, recently smelled a hint of something wrong. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There are a group of new popular writers in Huanjian, who have invariably slowed down the update of novels, and some people simply stopped updating. For example, the blood cloud, which has become popular recently, has not posted a new chapter for almost ten days, telling readers that there has been something at home recently, and they should slow down the update.

Among the founders of Huanjian, Rizhao directly manages the daily operation of the website, and its main job is to deal directly with readers and writers.

A popular online novel writer suddenly stopped changing, which can also be explained as inertia after becoming famous, but another group of new novel writers also stopped changing, which is not logical.

Whether it is the characteristics of online novels or from the perspective of human nature, a writer who has been on the street for a long time has finally become a blockbuster, at this time, because his/her creative enthusiasm should be the highest and most positive, how can it be possible to break off the update on a large scale?

Zhu Xian only sent a thousand words in half a month...... I only wrote two chapters in a month...... This is true of more than a dozen novels that have recently become popular.

Including the Rogues series of Blood Cloud, these books occupy almost half of Huanjian and have a large number of readers. The so-called 'half of the country', this is still calculated from the perspective of the total number of readers of Huanjian, if you look at the composition of new readers, more than seventy or eighty percent of new readers are rushing to these books.

Readers have already begun to shout, posting complaints on various pages, and the number of posts far outweighs the scolding war between old writers and rising writers such as Zhuang Buzhou some time ago. Several pages were filled with readers' opinions.

It's not just a problem of breaking the update.,During this time,Huanjian's server is also very unstable.,Not to mention the speed is fast and slow.,There are often situations where you can't log in.,The most exaggerated one.,It didn't open the page for a full three hours.。 Readers have a lot of opinions about this as well.

The reason for the instability of the server, the sunshine is clear. Huanjian Black Starting Point Server, of course, the starting point will not be tied down, attacking on both sides, and life is not easy on both sides.

Author churn, signature book changes, readers' emotions, server instability...... If this continues, something big will happen!

Technically, Brother Ting is in charge, and in terms of funds, Mr. Kong is in charge, and Rizhao is in a hurry, but he can't interfere, so he can only find a way to manage this part. After thinking about it, he deliberately called Xueyun.

"Blood Cloud, what's going on?" Rizhao pondered his words and asked, "Is it because of the quarrel with Zhuang Buzhou and them last time, which affected the mood?"

"No, I've forgotten about that bit of for a long time, there's no need to affect the mood for them. Yu Zhe said on the other end of the phone.

"So, do you have any ideas? Recently, the starting point Chinese network has risen rapidly. After a pause, he said, "I've heard that there are quite a few authors on the site who are ready to jump ship to the starting point. ”

"Don't worry, I will never jump ship to the starting point!" Yu Zhe heard his voice and said with a smile.

"I'm just going to worry about it, don't think about it. The Huanjian platform is much larger than the starting point......"

Yu Zhe smiled, interrupted Rizhao, thought about it, and said in his heart: "Rizhao moderator, you have the grace of knowing me, to be honest, among the several moderators of Huanjian, I think you are not bad." Don't worry, no matter where I write a book, I can't forget your love. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Rizhao chuckled in his heart, and vaguely felt that things were not good.

hung up the phone, hesitated again and again, but he still found Kong Decheng, the major shareholder.

"Mr. Kong, last time we talked about economic encouragement, I think it is impossible to cover all of them, but can we select some excellent works for rewards, or simply, buy out his various copyrights, according to the level of 20 yuan per thousand words. ”

At present, not all online novel writers have no income, and a very small number of high-end authors can make money, 20 yuan per thousand words, which is also a very high price in the industry, almost all of them are at the same level or slightly lower than 'Blood Cloud'.

The problem is, how many writers in Huanjian are at the same level as Xueyun? At present, Xueyun has driven the entire industry to become popular, and the entire Huanjian has no readers who can fight with him at all, and there are not as many readers as Xueyun alone as there are other popular writers and readers of several people combined.

Twenty words per thousand, this price does not sound high, a book, hundreds of thousands of words, hundreds of thousands of words, that is, tens of thousands, ten books tens of thousands...... The operating expenses of the entire website of Huanjian are only how much is the annual operating expenses, and it is less than 100,000 yuan.

Rizhao continued to persuade: "You don't need too much, you can choose a few high-end writers if you have the right to compete." In this way, it can stabilize the hearts of high-end writers, and at the same time, let a large number of novice writers and low-end writers see the hope of making money, and attract more people to write books in Huanjian. ”

"Rizhao, you have thought about a question that you have not. Kong Decheng waved his hand and asked: "Buy out a few books, of course we have the economic strength." But what about the future? Once the opening is opened, we can only expand the scale and raise the price, not reduce it. Now we have spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy out a few books, and then, should we raise the price? Should we buy out the books of new authors? Before we find a new profit point, we can't afford to spend money on websites to buy out novels. ”

"Profit point......" Rizhao frowned.

"In this case, you first contact the publishing house in Xiagang and Taiwan, provide our book list to the other party, and if the other party is willing to publish, we will buy out the books that can be published. They can give 60 yuan for 1,000 words, and one published book is enough for us to buy out three books. Kong Decheng said.

The publication of mainland online novels by Hong Kong and Taiwan is still in its infancy, and so far, the published online novels are also rare, but this is indeed a way, Rizhao nodded; ”

After sending Rizhao away, Kong Decheng found Brother Ting, who was in charge of network technology.

"How's the attack with the starting point?"

"Overall, we have the upper hand. Brother Ting hesitated, "However, several advertisers have called to ask what is going on with the instability of the Huanjian server recently, and I hope we can solve it as soon as possible." ”

"Intensify the attack!" Kong Decheng waved his hand heavily: "The advertisers don't care about them first, our server is unstable, and the server at the starting point is even more unstable." ”

"Brother Kong, why bother to lose both sides like this. Brother Ting said: "It's better to do their own thing with each other, our scale is large, the technology is strong, the readers and authors are far beyond each other, the advantages are obvious, and the energy is used to improve self-competitiveness, and you can also get rid of the starting point far away." ”

Kong Decheng understood that what Brother Ting said was reasonable, which was conducive to the long-term development of Huanjian.

But Kong De is a native of Huanjian, and his positioning of Huanjian is different from that of Brother Ting and Rizhao. His purpose is not to be a first-class novel reading website in the country and create a career in online novels.

At the beginning of the year, several capitals contacted him, intending to acquire Huanjian or inject capital, but after the starting point appeared, the upward momentum was extremely fast, and those capitals invariably kept a wait-and-see look. So what Kong Decheng has to do at present is not to make Huanjian stronger, but to kill the starting point as soon as possible.

Just when Huanjian and the starting point were competing with each other, the skeleton Qingqi's Zeyue Chinese network was finally launched.
