Chapter 12: Dormitory Meeting
In the blink of an eye, the holiday began during the 11th Golden Week.
On the eve of the holiday, Xu Lin and Wanfeng, members of the 312 dormitory, were about to go home, and they took the train home on the first day. Zhang Biao accompanied his girlfriend's dormitory and a group of eight girls to travel to Lijiang, Yunnan, and Zhang Cheng went to the Municipal University of Science and Technology to find high school classmates to play and would not stay in the dormitory. Now the entire dormitory is left with Zhang Jun, who lives in Heilongjiang, and Yu Zheng, who chooses not to go home.
Zhang Jun slept in the bedroom all day long, because he would not go to bed on the National Day, and Yu Zheng was like a ghost, not going back to bed all night.
On October 3rd, the famous Internet writer Zhu Tou officially launched Xinyue Reading Network with his latest work "Dragon Battle Xingye".
At the same time, the pig head also brought more than a dozen peers from the circle where he used to write novels, and the traffic and registered members of the Xinyue Reading Network increased instantly, and with the help of the writer Pig Head when he checked into the website, on the homepage of the reading network, the online writer contract system and the writer's welfare system appeared for the first time, and the first online literature buyout plan and sharing plan.
This is the first of its kind in the online literature industry. It's like a pool of calm water, suddenly smashing down a stone, stirring up waves in many directions.
For a while, the small website became a dark horse in online literature, and suddenly appeared in the eyes of the managers of several well-known big fiction websites.
It turns out that online literature can also gather author resources in this way.
This day is destined to be a milestone anniversary in the online literature industry, perhaps many years later, when online literature is booming, many writers who are in contact with online literature for the first time will remember this day, a small website called Xinyue Reading Network, opened a new mode of online reading.
The release speed of "Dragon Wars Hoshino" is very fast, and the release volume on the first day has reached a terrifying 300,000 words, which must be the manuscript that the pig head has been preparing for a long time. Because "Dragon vs. Xingye" is updated quickly, the plot is attractive, and only Xinyue will be released for free, since the release on October 3, in just two days, it has attracted a large number of netizens who read novels and began to register members on the reading network.
In two days, the number of registered members of Xinyue Reading Network has become 50,000, and the number of applicants for writers has also changed from dozens to hundreds, and this number is refreshing every day.
It took a few all-nighters to finalize a series of announcements on the treatment of writers on the homepage, and Yu Zheng and the stupid child, watching the members counted in the background of the website begin to skyrocket, and there was no sleepiness anymore.
Since then, after the first great god has stayed on Xinyue Reading Network, Yu Zheng's has been even busier.
According to the current traffic increase model of the website, he first asked the stupid child to upgrade the website's server, so that netizens can be more stable when reading novels. Then, as more and more people applied to become writers, everyone rushed to write for that buyout, and Yu Zheng had to start thinking about the survival of the website. After all, there are many authors who have signed contracts, and the monthly expenditure will be a lot of money, and Yu Zheng doesn't want to call home to ask for it.
It is definitely impossible to pay completely out of his own pocket, and what Yu Zheng hopes to see most now is to achieve a balance between the website and maintain the website on a daily basis.
At this point, Yu Zheng quickly thought of starting to implement advertising on his own reading network. That is to say, it is called advertising for some small game companies to earn advertising fees.
In my previous life, many netizens who read pirated novels were often distressed by the game pages that popped up on those pirated websites? This is no way, after all, the survival of the website requires a capital chain, promoting game advertising, which will be a lot of income, and it is also the only way for Yu Zheng to choose to revitalize the website, he doesn't want to reach out to his family to ask for money, a qiē thing, all rely on his own hands.
If you think of it, you have to do it, and the success of a qiē is obtained through hard work.
So, Yu Zheng began to negotiate with those websites that develop games on the Internet.
He found several network companies that develop small games on the Internet, called and asked the other party if they needed online promotion, and the other party's answers were polite and domineering, and Yu Zheng, who had hit a wall, was not discouraged and continued to start contacting.
"Hey, hello, may I ask, does your company need to do network promotion? I am the administrator of such and such a website, and I hope to cooperate with your company. ”
Yu Zheng found a website called 4399 on the Internet to make small games, wrote down the phone number left by the other party on the Internet, and called directly to ask.
The person who answered the phone was a girl with a beautiful voice: "Hello sir." Our company is currently in talks about online promotion. I don't know what type of website is under the name of Mr.? ”
"Our website is one, and now the website has more than 50,000 permanent members, and the daily increase is not less than 1,000 people."
This criterion has already met the primary selection criteria of the game company, and the customer service will continue to talk about it. "Can the gentleman leave his contact information?"
Yu Zheng reported his 163 mailbox to the other party, and left a QQ number and mobile phone number.
After the other customer took a note of Yu Zheng's contact information, he replied gently: "Our company will discuss the website situation proposed by Mr. later, and then contact you in a short time." ”
"Well, okay, thanks."
Regardless of whether the other party can choose themselves as their cooperative website for online promotion products after discussion, at least the wall encountered in the past few days has made Yu Zheng finally see a little hope.
Next, Yu Zheng made a few more phone calls looking for cooperation, but the other party's answer was very vague, they simply looked down on a small website like Yu Zheng, let alone cooperated.
It's still not famous. For the first time, Yu Zheng realized that it was a very laborious thing to communicate with those big websites with deep pockets.
For the sake of the website, Yu Zheng has become a high-speed spinning top. He kept contacting the advertisements that he could get until the phone ran out of power, and Yu Zheng gave up continuing to contact the partner.
He went to the school business hall to put the 100 call bills in his mobile phone, and bought a few steamed buns and a bottle of mineral water in the cafeteria to deal with his stomach indiscriminately, and after returning to the dormitory, he lay down on the bed to rest. Because he had to go to the reading room to manage the website at night, Yu Zheng felt that he was almost exhausted when he was full now.
Because of the National Day, there are not many people in the dormitory, and most of them have gone out. They all asked Yu Zheng if they wanted to be together, and Yu Zheng refused very unsocially.
When he climbed into bed and went to bed, Chen Jun, who had slept on the bed diagonally opposite him all day, glanced at him.
"Sixth, why are you so tired all day? Running outside every day. I didn't come back all night long, you see you have dark circles under your eyes. ”
Yu Zheng is like a lone ranger, except for sleeping, he will never stay in the bedroom. The people in the whole dormitory think this guy is quite mysterious, and he doesn't participate in the activities organized by the dormitory for a month after the school starts, and he doesn't see him talk to anyone more, so he seems very withdrawn. They all wondered if Yu Zheng was doing something outside?
Yu Zheng is basically in the bedroom, and he answers when others ask. "It's nothing, it's just playing games online with my former high school classmates."
Chen Jun stopped talking, this is a personal hobby, and no one can dissuade him.
Towards the end of the National Day, people who went home in the dormitory or went out to play with friends returned. Xu Lin, who brought back a large bag of lotus root flour and local specialties from Hangzhou, made a bowl for Zhang Jun and Yu Zheng, who did not go home in the dormitory. Today, the network of the library's electronic reading room is faulty, and the maintenance staff is dealing with it, so Yu Zheng has no chance to stay there all day.
After a while, Zhang Biao, who went to Lijiang to play, walked in with a cowboy hat and a string of Buddhist beads bought in the scenic spot around his neck.
He brought a few packets of consumable beef, the kind of cooked food that can be eaten directly by tearing it open.
As soon as Zhang Biao entered the door, he couldn't wait to tell everyone the story of Lijiang and his party, and everyone more or less wanted to take a look.
One after another, the rest of the dorm room has returned. Everyone brings the specialties of their hometown, and this is the case for freshmen, who have to bring at least one or two things back to school when they go home.
After everyone arrived, they all told where they went on the National Day, and there were all kinds of stories. In the end, Zhang Biao mentioned that if he didn't go out for a gathering tonight, he should celebrate the festival for Zhang Jun and Yu Zheng, who didn't go home in the dormitory.
Everyone responded quickly, and Zhang Biao said that he called him to ask Ma Zi to see if he could bring a few beauties from the broadcasting department to get to know him.
At this moment, the idea of the party completely exploded. I heard that there were beautiful women, and the people in the whole dormitory were like wolves, and their eyes were shining.
Then they started talking about going to the party there, and after determining the location, Zhang Biao asked Yu Zheng if he would go, after all, this guy is not social, and he often runs outside alone and does not go back to bed.
I don't know if the network in the reading room can be done for a long time, Yu Zheng thought about it and said the word "go", he actually doesn't want to be too unorthodox and unsociable, but he is really too busy, he actually wants to be like this group of people, and play crazy during the holidays, but time doesn't wait for me.
