Chapter 471: French Author "Baker"
Brothers, in the last few days, monthly passes, subscriptions, all to Xiaobai.
Lagardère.
Lagardère is a French publishing group founded in 826, which can be said to have a very long history. Lagardère has always played a pivotal role in the world's publishing industry. And, through almost two hundred years of development. Or acquisition, or holding, the whole ... The business of the Lagardère ...... is already incomparably large.
Today, in Lagardère's office, an old man with a stern face is carefully looking at the materials in his hand.
"Bard, what do you think of the Chinese network of the Tang Dynasty Company."
Yes, as a world-class publishing giant, Tang Dynasty's Chinese website has just been launched, and they have been treated seriously.
"Mr. Chairman, I think that with Chen Jiayi's influence, it is really possible to open up the mode of online reading."
Bard is... Lagardère ...... "CEO, who runs Lagardère's publishing business.
"Online reading?"
The old man fell silent.
Although the old man is over 70 years old, he has always been watched by the emerging media.
Previously, he mentioned in the board of directors whether to open an Internet literature platform. Just, after a lot of discussion. Almost all the directors, they agreed. Internet literature platforms can only sell books at most, but if they are read through the Internet, it is estimated that there is not much tangibility. Although, they saw the rise of Chinese online literature. However, he also attributed it to the fact that because there is too much piracy in China, they are not without the model of online literature.
In this way, Lagardère also brushed shoulders with online literature.
It's just that I didn't expect that after many years. The Tang Dynasty Company at that time was no longer the current Tang Dynasty Company, and the current Tang Dynasty Company, his every move involved a large number of businesses. Although, for the Internet, many businesses think. The international version of the Chinese network opened by the Tang Dynasty company has nothing to do with them. But deep in the publishing industry, Lagardère, they know. In the future, the Chinese network will definitely be able to threaten their publishing position. ”
I think it's necessary for us to get into the business of online literature. ”
Bud is a competent chatter.
Although before this, he also thought that he could not make sense of the mode of online reading. However, it turns out that Chen Jiayi has opened up this market. Now there are a large number of people around the world, who will log on to the Chinese website to read the sky or read other literary works on the Chinese website after work.
Even, now there is a root multimedia, which has taken Breaking the Sky as a means of taking advantage of the world's magic book. Moreover, there are already a number of publishing giants who are willing to publish Breaking the Sky, and in addition, I heard that some Hollywood directors have already watched this work. Maybe Breaking the Sky will be like Harry Potter and will envelop the whole world.
"It's just, Bard, do you think we can beat the Chinese network?"
A Chinese network, he is nothing. The key thing is that behind the Chinese network, he is a Tang Dynasty company. With a giant network platform like the Tang Dynasty Company, it can almost be said that the Chinese network has become invincible. Lagardère Publishing Group, on the other hand, has been focusing on the brick-and-mortar publishing industry. In the face of the emerging Internet media, they have almost no advantages...... Moreover, not to mention Lagardère, even if it is a team with other companies, the trick will not have much effect.
Probably, other companies may not necessarily enter this industry.
Because they still have doubts about whether online reading can be sustained forever. Bi Jing has been in physical reading mode for thousands of years. Not just one person, he can change his mind. If not... Lagardère ...... "I'm in the publishing industry, and I guess they don't have any opinion about online reading." ”
No. ”
Bard shook his head, he knew that it was almost impossible to defeat Chinese. Still, he said firmly and directly...... "...... However, we also have the advantage of having an unbeatable bibliography. We have countless authors around the world, and the number of our works will definitely be richer than that of Chinese Net. ”
That's why Bard has a hint of hope.
"Good roots, I just like managers like you." ,
The old man was very satisfied with Bard. This Bard is not only unique, but also courageous. Even if I have some undecided minds, I put it on Bud...... But he showed an indomitable will. However, how did the old man know what Bud was thinking? Because Bard understands that even if he can't beat Chinese, Lagardère has to enter the online reading business. Bi Jing, this part, may dominate the publishing road of the whole world in the future.
Lagardère is now in, perhaps, with a glimmer of room to survive. Otherwise, it can only be swallowed up by the Tang Dynasty Company at that time. Although, it's a very long journey. But, as a manager, he sees this.
"Okay, Bud, you just do it. You know, behind us, are all the bibliographic resources of the Lagardère Group. ”
The old man patted Bud on the shoulder and left the headquarters.
Tang Dynasty Company.
For Lagardère's move, how could Tang Dynasty, as a global Internet giant, not know.
In the afternoon of the same day, the secretary Xiao Liu had already sent some of Lagardère's actions to Chen Jiayi. Bi Jing, how can it be secret to create a world-wide network platform. If it were in normal times, maybe Chen Jiayi would not be watching. However, now that the Chinese web is being introduced to the world, Tang Dynasty Gongxi is always paying attention to all the publishing industries in the world.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
Although the current "Chinese Network International Edition ......" occupies an absolute advantage, he has to be careful. After all, the international version of Chinese Network is still a newborn baby. In later generations of China, the hegemon of online literature is one after another. Just like Longkong, he has dominated the world back then, but the business is not right, and it has been stepped on in an instant. If the Tang Dynasty Company thought that the world was invincible, even if the Tang Dynasty Company had absolute Internet power, I am afraid that it would have to capsize in the gutter.
Just as Tencent has been entering the Internet literature in later generations, although he has an instant messaging in his hands. Moreover, other portal platforms also have countless users. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't fight for Shanda's Chinese network. Because at that time, the general trend of the Chinese Internet had become a success, and no power could cause him any harm. Even if you dig up the great god every day. Again, there is no use.
In fact, the Chinese network in later generations has really experienced two cases of digging up gods in the sky. However, until later, the two websites did not mix as well as they wanted. Moreover, some of the great gods who were dug up have even returned. Even if there are some friends who have not returned to reading on the Internet, they no longer know where these distant gods are.
"Lagardère."
Seeing this piece of information, Chen Jiayi studied it carefully.
Judging from the scope of contact, Chen Jiayi knew that it was possible that Lagardère would cooperate with some world Internet organizations. It's not an easy task, though. At the very least, other companies need to see a large area of profitability in the Internet reading model. Or they will enter the Internet reading mode, which will become a kind of reading mainstream in the future. Otherwise, it would be impossible for these Internet companies to take such a big risk and enter this unfamiliar field.
Because, don't look at the small online literature platform. But his expenses, that are huge. In later generations, several powerful groups entered the online literature market and invested hundreds of millions of yuan. In the end, it seems to have been lost, and there is no impact. This is just China, if you invest in the world, how can it be as simple as a few hundred million?
Leave this aside for now, even if Lagardère cooperates with other internet giants. For example, working with Microsoft's MSN. Or, working with Yahoo, Chen Jiayi has nothing to fear.
The second point is that Lagardère has horrific publishing resources, as well as a wealth of authors.
This article was sorted out by the secretary Xiao Liu.
However, Chen Jiayi really didn't think about this.
For example, like what publishing resources. In fact, he does not focus on publishing online reading. Of course, well-written novels can also be published through physical publications. However, this is only additional income. Judging from the development direction of domestic online literature, Chen Jiayi already knows it. If the mode of online reading is only for publication, then sooner or later he will be finished.
Just like Long Kong, he just chose the wrong direction, kept going in the direction of publishing, and was finally surpassed by other websites. ,
Knowing this, Chen Jiayi does not have too much responsibility and heart for the publishing business.
However, Lagardère's global abundance of authors made Chen Jiayi a little anxious.
An excellent online literature platform, the most important resource, is the author. Even, these authors are more important than readers. Because, the reader follows the author. Where an author writes a good book, the reader will run to it.
Bi Jing, jumping from the Chinese network to another website is just a matter of casually typing on the Internet address.
Therefore, we know why some online literature platforms have opened websites, and the most popular move is to directly pull the gods.
Although this is more expensive, it is the most obvious effect.
As for the reason why some of their websites in later generations can't get up after pulling the gods. That's because, in addition to the great god of Chinese Network, he also has a large number of middle-level writers. Moreover, these middle-level writers, they also have the strength of a great god. As long as they are a little packaged, they are the next big god.
In the face of so many novels to read, readers will run, that's weird.
Thinking so much, Chen Jia thought of another way for the number of authors of Lagardère's global horror.
That is, like the Chinese network, open an author area.
"I'm going to see if you have more full-time authors or more amateur authors."
Generally speaking, full-time authors are amateur authors, not even ni. And among these amateur authors, in fact, many of them are very good characters. It's just that all the while, they don't know their talents, and thus they are buried. Until, with the advent of online zhangxue, their talent was finally reflected.
The big waves wash the sand and see the gold.
In batch after batch of amateur authors, there is some gold, and they will eventually shine brightly.
In fact, this is also where Chinese wins out.
It is precisely because of the uniqueness of Chinese Gang that more and more new authors have joined the big platform of Chinese Network. Although, in this, there are batches of people who have taken the case. But, what remains, that's the real talent. And these talents have made their due contributions to the Chinese network again and again.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiayi's thinking became even more stained.
What about the number of authors of global horror in Lagardère, however, their authors, are only authors of physical publishing. The way they write has always been in the form of physical publishing. The way of writing in physical publishing is very different from that of online writing. Just like in the physical market, there are some novels that hit the streets on the Internet, but it must be considered the way of online writing. Otherwise, no matter how good the writing is, the same group will hit the street.
Just one, insisting on updating every day, few people can do it in the traditional authors in reality.
In particular, there were writers in later generations who had a natural sense of romance. Sometimes, they are inspired by a lifetime and can write many words in a day. However, if there is no inspiration, then one Yu will not write a month. However, this is placed on the Internet, and it is absolutely a call to the streets.
With so many considerations, Chen Jiayi is also relieved.
"Nicholas, it's time to open an author's section."

One order down, the international version of Chinese Network, officially launched the author area business.
France.
Baker was a Frenchman, and like many French people, Baker had a natural French romanticism. Usually, Baker is like most people, soaking chicks, drinking wine, and living a leisurely life, but recently, Baker is very depressed, because he is out of love. The reason for the breakup is simple, his ex-girlfriend says Baker has no talent. So, the always cheerful French girl, she chose a genius painter, although this painter was not handsome.
big
This made Baker's self-esteem suffer for a while, and for several days, Baker stayed at home and did not go out.
small
Recently, he became obsessed with a novel called "Breaking the Sky". It's providence, and Qianjie is the same as his current situation. It's all the betrayal of his girlfriend, so Baker, who empathizes with him, looks more and more excited when he looks like he is breaking through the sky. He really wants to see what will happen to the woman who regrets her marriage when the protagonist Xiao Yan becomes the strongest person in this continent?

It's just that Breaking the Sky, he Bi Jing is a novel, and it is also a serialized novel. For the needs of the novel, but also for the needs of the script. The climax of the whole story could not have appeared so quickly. Of course, Baker didn't think that this novel would end so quickly. It's just that he urges updates every day, but the Dou Breaking Sky has never been thunderous, and only two chapters have been updated. Occasionally, when you're in a good mood, or when you encounter some festival, this is the chapter that breaks out. ,

This left Baker depressed.
"Alas, I've finished reading the latest chapter again."
In just two chapters, Baker only spent more than twenty minutes to read it. And, after reading it, Baker also communicated with some fans in the book review area about his experience of reading books. But even so, after a few hours, Baker was a little depressed. Because, after he watched Breaking the Sky, he didn't know what to do. Although, there are also some other works published on the Chinese website. Moreover, the popularity is not bad, and it has been welcomed by many people. But I don't know how, Baker just doesn't like it very much.
"Huh, Author's Zone?"
Just when Baker had nothing to do, browsing the Chinese network, hoping to find a novel that matched his taste. At this time, he saw a headline on the front page, which read four words, "Author's Zone." ”
What is this?
Click to enter, and Baker will know. It turns out that this area is where the author uploads his works.
"Hey, Baker, I created a novel on the Chinese website, and you also come to the base."
Suddenly, Baker's friend "Lane" sent a message to Baker.
"What, Len, can you write novels with your pen?"
Baker was surprised that he thought that writing novels and things like that was something that some writers do. Who can write a novel? Who is Lane, how could Baker not know, how can he write a novel? To be honest, when I used to be fine, I would post some essays in my personal log. Unexpectedly, I didn't even think about writing a novel, this one came to the grace, did he send some kind of spirit, thinking that he was a genius?
"Hey, Baker, don't underestimate me, I'm not very good at writing, but my ability to make up stories is really top-notch. Besides, you see, I've started a new book and released the latest chapters. See, the background review has passed. This in itself proves that my novels still have a certain amount to read. ”
Unconvinced, Lyne kept talking to Baker.
"Okay, okay, I'll see."
Baker was dizzy by what Lyne said, so he had to click on the link and take a look at Lynn's work.
"Not good."
Baker smiled, but didn't hit Lynn either, just replied, "Yes, come on." ”
However, after ending the call with Lynn, Baker was shocked and said secretly, "Yes, Lyne can write novels, why can't I?" ”
This thought was born, and it immediately occupied Lynn's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Yes, the reason for Baker's breakup was that his girlfriend scolded him for not having talent, and his ex-girlfriend also chose a painter.
Probably, a natural French girl, is such a romance. He doesn't care if you don't have money, but you have to have style.
For example, what kind of talent, that's the main thing.
Now, an opportunity is in front of us.
"Actually, I can too. Maybe I'll be a great writer like Rowling in the future. ”
What's impossible?
Thinking of this, Baker didn't think much about it. Even if you can't become a genius writer, it's good to become a little writer. At least, this one name shines out, and for others, in fact, I am a writer, and I can attract a lot of beautiful women. Moreover, the fact that he became a writer can surprise his ex-girlfriend.
Maybe my ex-girlfriend will regret it then.
Well, when she returns to herself, do you want to accept it?
At this time, Baker was already thinking about the future. (To be continued)
