Chapter 521: The Prospect of Mobile Reading
Tong Yan didn't directly say his opinion, but asked first: "Brother Yu, do you think you are used to using a computer or a mobile phone to read e-books?" ”
Yu Yan did not hesitate: "Computer." ”
"Then we can't talk."
Yu Yan smiled: "This is my personal habit, but people around me feel that it is more convenient to read novels with mobile phones, and now domestic mobile phones basically come with e-book readers, and it looks really convenient to import TXT documents into mobile phones." ”
"But those mobile phones come with readers to read books really don't have any enjoyment, the function is very single, by the way, have you used several popular mobile phone reading software?" Tong Yan asked.
Yu Yan shook his head, he prefers to read physical books, followed by reading online articles on the computer, and he doesn't use his mobile phone much.
"I think this will be the general trend in the future, because the use rate of mobile phones will be higher and higher, the functions will be stronger and stronger, and the network tariffs will be cheaper and cheaper, I still have that point of view, mobile phones will replace computers to a certain extent in the future, just now your reading software reminded me, we can do this!" Tong Yan took out his mobile phone, "I have some of the most popular mobile phone reading software here, but with my critical eye, they all have room for improvement." ”
"Why do you install so many reading apps? Can the phone stand it? Yu Yan was puzzled.
"I don't really like computer reading.,A few days ago I wanted to finish reading the rest of the "Best Family".,Declare in advance,I ordered the genuine version at the starting point.,I just feel that staring at the computer for a long time is not good for the eyes.,I got off the fine school version and wanted to read it on my phone.,And then I'm studying which software is more comfortable to use.,I'm very picky.。
"You can buy physical books, forget it, when I didn't say it. The physical book is not finished yet. ”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely buy a set when it's finished, and you'll have to sign it for me," Tong Yan continued, "I've been studying it for a while, and these are the best ones to use." iReader, 91 Panda Reading, Baiyue, Baiyue is the oldest, the first two only started to appear last year, because they are well-made, they quickly occupy a large share of the market. ”
Yu Yan interjected: "Oh, Baiyue is owned by Zhangmen Technology, and Zhangmen Technology is in Jinling, and I still have a few acquaintances in this company." ”
Tong Yan said happily: "That's not right, pull them out to start a business together." Whether it is iReader or 91's Panda Reading, they are all upstarts in this industry, and it is still too late to catch up, and if it is too late, I am afraid that the market has been divided. ”
"Do you think this is a problem? But how to make a profit, where do people have any awareness of paid reading now? Yu Yan directly thought of paying for reading, rather than relying on pirated novel resources to attract readers like most reading software. Rely on users to generate advertising value and sell advertising for profit. This kind of business is very profitable, but they are themselves online writers, so they naturally do not want to encroach on the rights and interests of their peers, and this kind of thing will definitely not last long.
"It's not right for you to think so, and the readers who started before didn't have a sense of payment, but now. Millions of VIP users, the monthly manuscript fee is nearly 10 million, as long as our products are good, you don't have to worry about attracting paying readers, just like this little software you make yourself. Optimize the processing, it is still very attractive, and mobile phone reading is much more convenient than the PC side, this is a great convenience, last year's mobile phone Internet users have exceeded 100 million, take your time, if this software occupies a large share of mobile phone reading, its value should not be underestimated, "Tong Yan thought of anything to say, did not reserve at all, "Of course, cultivating paid users is a long process, just like chick hatching, if you can't insist on the chick hatching, you will give up halfway in the middle, it will be in vain." ”
"But the incubation process is going to be very difficult, maybe the chicks don't hatch and the hens starve to death." Yu Yan sighed.
Tong Yan did not object this time: "Indeed, and this possibility is very high, it is not a smooth road, but once it is successful, the prospects will be very impressive." ”
Both of them were silent, and then Sister-in-law Yu shouted: "It's time to eat, Wuji, I made a few dishes casually, you don't have any taboos, right?" ”
"Ah, sister-in-law, you've cooked well, I won't bother you, I'd better go back and eat, my girlfriend should be waiting for me."
Sister-in-law Yu was very enthusiastic: "I'm here, just stay for a meal, it's okay if my girlfriend doesn't accompany me." ”
Yu Yan also smiled and left Tong Yan for lunch, "Your sister-in-law has good skills, you must try it." ”
Tong Yan couldn't resist persuasion, "Then, then I'll bother, I'll call my girlfriend later." ”
Tong Yan just took out his mobile phone, the mobile phone rang first, and the caller ID was "in vain".
After answering the phone and talking for a while, Tong Yan said apologetically, "Brother Yu and sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, there is a teacher at home, and my girlfriend asked me to go back, I'm afraid this meal will have to be accounted for." ”
There are guests at home, or teachers, this is really not good to be lazy, Yu Yan only got: "We had a good chat today, let me suddenly open up, if you have the opportunity to come to me to play again, or I will find you." ”
After sending Tong Yan away, Yu Yan's family of three began to eat, and Yu's sister-in-law asked, "What were you talking about just now, you were talking so energetically." ”
Yu Yan said: "I don't want to write novels for the time being, but I'm quite reluctant to do this, if, I mean if, if I start a business and make related software, what do you think?" ”
Sister-in-law Yu is not a housewife, and she is also quite knowledgeable: "This is the way that Tong Yan Wuji pointed out to you?" ”
"Well, although I haven't had much contact, I quite believe in this young man's vision and business sense, and you also know that he opened his own online store, selling online novel books and novel derivatives, and the income is said to be very high, more than what I make as a writer," Yu Yan obviously overestimated Tong Yan, and his admiration for Tong Yan may have to be transferred to An Luwei for more than half of it.
"Then why doesn't he do it himself, but tell you."
"He should also see the huge risk of this industry, in case the product can't be hit and can't attract paying groups, you can say, how much to invest, how much to lose." Yu Yan did not hide it from his wife, in 2009, it takes courage to engage in mobile phone reading software.
Sister-in-law Yu sighed: "How much net worth do you have, where can you afford it." ”
Yu Yan had no choice but to sigh, yes, starting a business, succeeding, and being glorious, but he failed, his boss is not small, and he is still dragging his family, it is really difficult to make up his mind.
When Tong Yan arrived home, Versace was already waiting impatiently, "When will your boyfriend arrive, I'm almost too hungry to stand it." ”
"Teacher Fan, why are you here!" Tong Yan greeted him and shook hands with Associate Professor Fan, who was quite surprised by Versace's arrival...... (To be continued......)
