The first online literature festival was held in Jingshang Genting, the first five-star hotel in Jianwu City, with the participation of 16 publishers of all sizes, as well as 12 god-level writers from Zeyue and specially invited media. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to increase the gold content of the ceremony, Zeyue took out a total of 20 books for auction this time.

The auction lasted all day, and the bidding scene was quite enthusiastic, and on several occasions, prices soared to terrifying proportions.

Of course, there are many auctions in it, and the first grand ceremony must not be too deserted, and in the publishing house, there are a few childcare arranged by Zhao Zejun.

In the end, the rights to the 20 books were sold for a total price that made all Zeyue employees jaw-dropping.

Although everyone knows that this total price contains water, even if the water is thrown away, the gold content is quite high.

Whether it was the reporters present, the practitioners or the staff of the publishing house, there was a vague feeling that online novels seemed to be about to enter a new era and become a truly valuable industry.

At the end of the ceremony, the organizer Zeyue Company announced two blockbuster news:

In the future, in addition to publishing copyright, Zeyue will also recommend a number of novels suitable for film, television, comics and other peripheral adaptations, and hold copyright exhibitions during the auction period and invite relevant units to participate. In the second auction of each year, the outstanding online novel authors of the year will be selected, awards will be awarded, industry seminars will be organized, etc., and the content of the 'Zeyue Online Novel Festival' will be enriched through various measures, and a real festival will be held.

In addition, after this auction, Zeyue will launch a traditional version of the website for readers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan!

Where there are kanji, there is Ze to read.

Ze reading, a reading feast for the Chinese!

……

Just when Zeyue vigorously held the network ceremony, the capital Zhongguancun, on the 12th floor of the Ideal International Building, Baidu headquarters also held a mid-year summary and outlook meeting.

After 02 years of blitzkrieg, Baidu, which was established only three years ago, defeated the world's largest search engine Google in one fell swoop, becoming the search engine with the largest market share in China and the second largest independent search engine in the world, with a daily search volume of 30 million.

At the mid-year meeting, the chief financial officer reported the financial income in the first half of 03, which was close to 90% of last year, more than 50 million yuan, and it is expected that the annual income can reach 150% of last year, that is, break through the 100 million yuan mark.

The main contribution of revenue comes from paid links, and the fastest growing chunk of the total revenue module comes from the pilot paid rankings.

"Paid links, paid rankings, are all profit models, profit model is of course important, in the expansion of the profit model at the same time, Baidu needs to practice internal skills, in the concept and technology, always stand at the forefront of the Internet industry, in order to ensure that our profit model can be successful. ”

At the meeting, Mr. Liu, the technical vice president and CTO of Baidu, put forward a very novel concept: web 2.0.

Web 2.0 is a relative concept, which is defined as the second generation of the Internet as the content generated by website employees.

To put it simply, the previous Internet content was provided by the website's employees, and the website administrator uploaded the content;

In the 2.0 era, the content of the Internet is generated by users, and users publish and upload content.

Obviously, in the 2.0 era, the Internet pays more attention to the interaction of users, who are not only the viewers of website content, but also the producers of website content. Users are not only readers of the Internet, but also authors of the Internet, simply "reading" to "writing" and "co-construction", actively participating in the development of Internet information, so as to be more humane.

After the meeting, Mr. Li, the founder and CEO of Baidu, immediately invited Mr. Liu, the founder and CEO of Baidu, to the office for a detailed discussion.

"Is there a specific project?" Mr. Li said straight to the point: "If there is, discuss it immediately, and develop it online after discussion; if not, collect ideas as soon as possible." ”

"In such a hurry?"

"Lao Liu, when I was in Silicon Valley, I heard people mention this 2.0 you mentioned more than once, but unfortunately it was the golden age of the Internet, on the eve of the bursting of the Internet bubble, everyone thought that the 1.0 model was the best, and few people took the 'two-way content' model seriously, and now it seems that Wen2.0 is likely to be the development trend of the network in the next ten years. ”

"Mr. Li, look at this. Mr. Liu took the initiative to open the laptop computer and enter a web address.

"Paste it?"

What is displayed on the computer screen is Zhao Zejun's Tieba project.

Mr. Li raised his eyebrows quickly, and then under Mr. Liu's introduction, he registered an account and carried out a series of operations on the post bar.

"Mr. Li, this post bar project is definitely a classic of web2.0. And now the scale is not small, it should reach the million level. Mr. Liu said.

Mr. Li pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Which company?"

"It currently belongs to Zeyue Chinese Network. ”

"Zeyue Chinese Network...... Oh oh oh, I know this site, which does web novels. Recently, I have become very famous, and I heard that the boss is a college student entrepreneur in his twenties, and he has brought the entire industry up in a year. Mr. Li said.

Not only did he drive the entire industry, but he also cleared the industry, and all the threats in the online novel industry were either driven out by him or acquired. The means are powerful. Mr. Liu said.

"Acquisition?" Mr. Li shook his head and smiled, saying: "The online novel industry is too small, the word acquisition seems to be too big, a little capital injection can turn the world upside down in this industry." ”

"That's right. Mr. Liu also laughed, "I heard that he cleared the scene, and it took more than 10 million." ”

"It's a good thing, because he doesn't have a lot of money. Mr. Li nodded on the screen very decisively: "Even if there is a ready-made one, you go back and investigate it and give me a report." If it's appropriate, buy it directly. ”

"Good. Mr. Liu's brows furrowed rapidly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

This small action was captured by Mr. Li very keenly, and he turned his head and asked, "Lao Liu, do you have any concerns?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal. No, it doesn't. Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

Actually, it's 'something'.

Lao Liu's initial web2.0 product idea is exactly the same as the post bar, how do you know that Ze Yue is one step ahead of him, and what is even more excessive is that even the name is exactly the same as he thinks: paste it.

He has always conceived the post bar project in his heart, and has never revealed it to anyone, there is no mole, it can only be said that it is too unlucky.

He was more or less a little angry in his heart, and casually explained to the propaganda department, creating some trouble for Zeyue Tieba and slowing down the development speed of the other party...... Later, I learned that the people of the Propaganda Department used some dishonorable means, but the key was that they did not cause any losses to the post bar, but instead promoted the cooperation between the other party and the local Internet police.

The matter has passed, and Mr. Liu is not ready to mention it to anyone.

According to Mr. Li's instructions, direct acquisition and complete problem solving.
