The Industrial Revolution began with the Chinese Empire, but the Information Revolution began with the United States across the ocean. Although the empire later caught up and narrowed the gap between them, it was a step slower after all.

The past year happened to be the year when the bubble burst in the empire's online economy, and countless free reading sites on the Internet were shut down. The online literature websites that were lucky enough to survive also began to look for profit points. There is no money without profit, and without money, the website cannot survive.

Today, the leading brother of online literature, Longjian Book League, received investment from Yangcheng Daily in March 2000, and with the help of the publishing channels of Yangcheng Daily, Longjian Book League published a total of five novels last year, two martial arts, one fantasy and three romances. Longjian Book Alliance has positioned its profit point on physical publishing.

What Shen Qiu and Ten Years One Sword have to do is to find another way forward for online literature. Ten years of swords, the two of them don't know if the path they designed is correct, but they are full of confidence. And Shen Qiu, because of his experience in the previous time and space, knows that the online charging system is the most correct path for the future development of online literature.

It's not that easy to build an online literature website.

Shen Qiu was just an ordinary reader in his previous life, and he did not participate in the establishment process of the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info, but Shen Qiu also had his advantages, that is, he had seen the most mature Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese network, and understood that the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info later run a very mature set of systems, which allowed him and Shi Yijian to avoid a lot of detours.

Li Xian booked a room at a nearby hotel, but Shen Qiu didn't go to stay.

During the week he stayed in Shanghai, he lived directly in the house rented by Zangdao Jiangnan, fortunately, at this time, Zangdao Jiangnan was still a single dog and had no girlfriend, and there was nothing inconvenient for Shen Qiu and Ten Years Yijian to live in.

Ten years of sword Cai Wenfeng directly asked the company for a week off, and he also moved to Shao Tinghui's house. The three of them discussed the direction of the future development of online literature with great enthusiasm. After the discussion began, Ten Years and Tibetan Knife invited two more friends on the Internet to join, namely Walker and Black Ant.

The walker is from Harbin and the black ant is from Liaoning, and they participated in the discussion of the three through the guòTT video.

Day and night of discussion, planning, and debate. Sometimes the five of them would blush and blush, and sometimes they would be so excited that they couldn't sleep because they suddenly thought of an idea. For Shen Qiu, this week was an experience that was difficult for him to experience in his previous life.

Everyone is striving for the same goal, and although everyone sometimes has different opinions, they can find common ground while reserving differences.

After four days, Shen Qiu and the five of them finally transformed all the ideas in their minds into words. "Departure Chinese Network Planning Plan", a booklet that is not too thick, about 30 pages, is the result of five people in four days.

"Ten years, take a picture and send it to me." The walker on the other end of the video suddenly spoke.

"You wait." Ten years of sword took out his mobile phone and aimed at the plan placed on the messy desk.

"Wait a minute." Shen Qiu stopped the sword of ten years, he found a pen, and wrote a sentence on the cover of the plan: Don't forget the original intention, you have to always.

"Come here and sign it, this is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the five of us. In the future, if online literature develops greatly, we will be the founders. Shen Qiu said half-jokingly, in fact, he knew in his heart that this photo might be very commemorative in the next ten or fifteen years.

Zangdao Jiangnan signed the plan, looked up and said, "Since it's so formal, you wait for me to get the camera, and let's take a group photo together." ”

"Click!" With a bang, Li Xian pressed the shutter of the camera, and the most valuable photo in the history of online literature was born in his hands.

In the middle of the photo is Shen Qiu, holding the "Departure Chinese Network Planning Plan" in his hand, Shen Qiu's left is a tall and slightly obese ten-year sword, and on the right is a slightly bowed Tibetan knife Jiangnan. There are five names signed on the plan, Wen Copying Gong, Ten Years of One Sword, Tibetan Knife Jiangnan, Xing and Black Ant.

The five of them were later called by netizens as the five founders of Qicheng Chinese.com, and they were also the five founders of the online literature charging model.

The three people in the photo look a little sluggish, with dark circles under their eyes, obviously caused by staying up late, but their faces are full of cheerful smiles. None of the three parties can imagine what it will be like when this photo and the story behind it are unearthed by a group of netizens twelve years later.

When those experiences and feelings hidden in the fog of history were announced, everyone was left with only one sentence of emotion: people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

The current Shen Qiu naturally can't predict the future, although his soul comes from 2015, but it was a matter of the previous time and space, Shen Qiu can learn from some of the experience of the previous time and space, but there is no way to copy the history of the previous time and space. Because of Empress Liu Qingqing's chaotic incursion, the historical trajectory of this time and space has now deviated from Yan zhòng.

Once the plan is set, everything else is relatively simple. Ten years of Yijian University studied computers, and building a website is not very difficult for him. Tibetan Dao Jiangnan began to post on the Dongtu forum, and the authors, walkers and black ants began to publicize on various forums, namely Sotiba, to prepare for future drainage.

Two days later, the website made by Ten Years Sword won the unanimous approval of everyone. Most of the functions in this are designed by Shen Qiu with reference to the pages of the last time and space Biquge www.biquge.info after the second revision in 2003.

In the year 341 of the imperial calendar, on January 17, 2001, Shanghai Qiuding Entertainment Information Technology Co., Ltd. was established.

The registered capital of the company is 500,000 yuan, and the enterprise legal person Shen Qiu is a network ID copyist. General Manager Shao Tinghui, network ID Tibetan knife Jiangnan. Cai Wenfeng, deputy manager, has a sword in ten years of network ID. Ai Xingwen, editor-in-chief of Qicheng Chinese Network, is a network ID walker. Zhang Yan, deputy editor-in-chief of Qicheng Chinese Network, network ID black ant.

The shareholding structure of Qiuding Entertainment is as follows, Shen Qiu contributed 400,000 yuan, accounting for 80% of the shares. Shao Tinghui invested 50,000 yuan, accounting for 10% of the shares. Ten years of Yijian invested 20,000 Chinese yuan, accounting for 4% of the shares. Black Ant and Walker1 each. 50,000 Chinese dollars, accounting for 3% of the shares.

Although the company has been registered, it will take a week for the website to be officially launched. This period of time is mainly used to pull authors and attract traffic.

Among the five people, Shen Qiu has to go to school, Ten Years One Sword, Walker and Black Ant all have their own jobs, and only Tibetan Dao Jiangnan has a lot of free time as a professional author, so the initial operation of the website was handed over to Shao Tinghui.

Ten years of sword Cai Wenfeng is ready to resign, and Black Ant and Xinger also have the same intention. Although the future is unknown, several people have put all their enthusiasm into it.

They really do online literature as a career.

"I have your back. If you don't have enough money, come to me. Shen Qiu had countless resources from the previous time and space in his mind, and a wealthy quasi-father-in-law like Lin Qingshan, so he was naturally full of confidence when he spoke.

"Qiu Shao, tell me the truth, are you the rich second generation?" The purchasing power of 400,000 Huayuan at the end of this year is quite strong, so Shao Tinghui of the Tibetan Dao Jiangnan asked Shen Qiu jokingly.

"I'm not the rich second generation, I'm like you, and I will eventually become the rich second generation in the future, the rich generation." Shen Qiu waved his hand and said proudly: "We will be the Internet tycoons of the next decade." ”

Shao Tinghui and Cai Wenfeng watched Shen Qiu's car start and leave. The sun at ten o'clock in the morning was a little dazzling, and they squinted their eyes, looking into the distance, thinking about the future, and their hearts were surging.
