Chapter 155: Your Appeal, My Decision

Chang Zheng adjusted his mood and communicated with the dark couple: "Where did the two of you come from?" ”

Dark Knight: "Gui Ning." ”

Almost at the same time, the Dark Princess also said, "East Exit." ”

Chang Zheng looked at the Dark Warrior and then at the Dark Princess.

Dark Knight: "I'm from Guining, by high-speed train." ”

Dark Princess: "I'm from the East Exit, by the Intercity Express. ”

Nam Gang is the capital of Nam Giang Province, and Gui Ninh City is the capital of Nam Giang's neighboring provinces. Dongkou City is in Nanjiang Province, not far from Nangang, and it takes half an hour to reach Nangang by intercity express.

Chang Zheng was puzzled: "Haven't you been together for three years?" Didn't live together? ”

The Dark Knights rightly said, "Being together doesn't have to be living together. ”

The Dark Princess nodded, "If you live together, you may not be able to be together." ”

The little couple cooperated tacitly, one finished the last sentence, and the other immediately took the next sentence, as if talking about cross talk.

Are you in a long-distance relationship? Platonic love? Constant speculation. Is there still this kind of love in these years?

The Dark Warrior explained to Chang Zheng: "The princess and I met on the Internet more than three years ago when we were playing online games, when I was the head of the group, and she was the main nurse priest in my group. ”

The Dark Princess answered: "At that time, our group killed the most difficult boss in the whole server, and exploded the most powerful weapon at that time, the Sword of Brothers. ”

The Dark Warrior continued to answer seamlessly, and he seemed to sigh: "As soon as the sword of brothers comes out, there will be no more brothers in the world." This brother's sword is so powerful that even its own brothers will turn against it for it. ”

The Dark Princess sighed, "So our quest group was disbanded. ”

The Dark Warrior gently hugged the Dark Princess's waist, and said in a disappointed but happy voice: "Since then, we have completely AFK and no longer play online games." But I was with the princess, and we started writing web novels. This writing is three years, although I am in Guining and she is in the east exit, but our hearts are connected. This time I came to Nangang to meet Mr. Chang, and she is not far from here. So I came over too. ”

The dark princess said to Chang Zheng with some apologies: "Mr. Chang, I didn't communicate with you or Editor-in-Chief Lin before I came, so I am very presumptuous, please forgive me." ”

Chang Zheng smiled: "No, no, you have come from afar, I welcome you very much." My doors here are always open for our fellow brothers and sisters. The princess also posted on the Asuka website, right? "This dark little couple is also commendable, they have been in a long-distance relationship for three years, and they can still fly with wings.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to come to Nangang to negotiate, it is completely understandable that they have a tryst. The two of them showed their affection in front of Chang Zheng and Lin Yonggang, and Chang Zheng felt that it was quite natural. Although they are fat and skinny. One is short and the other is tall, but Chang Zheng now feels that there is no sense of disobedience.

Because he was going to meet the Dark Samurai today, Chang Zheng had read the novel he wrote in advance. But Chang Zheng has no impression of the Dark Princess.

Chang Zheng began writing "Infinite Terror" in August last year, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. In the past year, based on "Infinite Horror", Infinite Stream has flourished and gradually formed and grown in the online literature industry. There are also many excellent infinite stream authors and works that have emerged.

The Dark Warrior is one. He's not the best infinite stream author, but he's famous. He wrote an infinite stream novel on Asuka Online, which he just finished in mid-October.

On the Asuka network, the Dark Samurai is one of the most famous infinite stream authors. So Chang Zheng wanted to accept him. and the seven or eight Flying Bird Net authors he brought with him.

This is a symbolic act. Good birds choose trees to perch on, and heroes choose good masters.

Be kind to the first batch of outstation authors who came to join the new starting point network, and maybe there will be descendants. The famous four sons in ancient times recruited customers for their own use. Of course, there will be mixed situations, and even chickens and dogs will come to eat. But a thousand days of raising customers are used for a while. The roosters and dog thieves played an important role at the critical moment and saved the life of the prince of Qi State.

So it can bring in a large number of customers. is an iconic symbol.

"Oh, no. I posted it on the Galaxy website. One of the most obscure street writers on the website, Mr. Chang must not know me. The Dark Princess replied to Chang Zheng's question. Pulled Chang Zheng back from his thoughts.

"Oh, galaxy.com. Heroes don't ask where they come from, I believe that with your joining, we will be able to create brilliance together. Chang Zheng said. Yinhe.com, which ranks 29th among the 29 genuine online websites in the country, has not yet been lifted out of poverty.

The new starting point network is now basically out of poverty, although it has not yet become rich and entered the well-off stage, but it is also on the way to a well-off. This is one of the main reasons why the Dark Knights came to join the Constant Expedition.

There are also many websites in the country, so why don't the Dark Warriors go elsewhere?

Chang Zheng himself felt that although the dark warrior was a little famous, he was not a first-line god author after all. He may not get any preferential treatment when he goes to the big station, and he is not the same as an ordinary writer, how to write and how to write.

New Beginnings.com, which is not a first-line station, but is a rising cutting-edge, may be more suitable for authors like Dark Warrior.

Maybe the Dark Knight himself thinks so.

We worship the god of cang, and the god of cangshen is the ancestor of our infinite flow. Maybe a reason, but certainly not the core reason that drove them to make the final choice.

So Chang Zheng welcomes the Dark Warriors to join the new starting point, but he is also thinking about what kind of price should be offered to them? Let's hear what he thinks first.

Chang Zheng also stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the point, he said to the dark warrior: "Samurai, first of all, I very much welcome you to join our new starting point network. I won't say much about my boastful words, Lu Yao knows the horsepower. The four of us here are all insiders, and none of them are outsiders. I can represent the new starting point, I wonder if the samurai can represent those brothers? ”

The Dark Knight replied affirmatively, "Of course." I was also entrusted by a few brothers, and I was very afraid to come to meet Mr. Chang. We basically write about infinite streams, Mr. Chang, Cangshen, you have a great influence on us. We are honored to be able to work with you. ”

Chang Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Thanks to your brothers, I am terrified." Now that we've agreed on a strategic direction, let's open the skylight and speak out. If you join us for a new start, I wonder what the samurai and your brothers expect? ”

The Dark Knight said seriously, "First of all, it's best not to default on our manuscript fees. ”

"Ahem!" , Lin Yonggang sat next to Chang Zheng, and he couldn't help coughing twice at this time, who had not spoken. He had a laughing and crying expression.

Chang Zheng was also a little speechless, but fortunately, he reacted quickly. He said resolutely and decisively: "I will give you a package ticket now, and we will never owe the author the manuscript fee on the New Start Network." Before the 5th of each month, we will settle the manuscript fee for the previous month and release it to the author on time. Samurai, if you don't believe me, you can ask our author. Of course, the first batch of VIP works on our site will only be released in October, and we have also issued a manuscript fee at present. But I assure you in my own personality that this request of yours is very reasonable, and I fully agree and will strictly fulfill it. ”

The Dark Warrior said helplessly: "President Chang, Chief Lin." You may think I'm ridiculous. In your opinion, it is a matter of course to pay authors for their contributions. However, not all bosses have this awareness. To make you laugh, my seven brothers and I have not been paid for the manuscript for two months by the birds. They say that the site's payment system is being maintained, what a hell of a maintenance! What system needs to be maintained for two months? ”

"Mr. Chang, you are the ancestor of infinite streaming, you should know best, the author of playing infinite streaming. is counting on the electronic subscription fee to make a living. Of course, brick-and-mortar publishing and wireless channels can also expand our income range, but the ability of Nok.com to operate is limited, and a few of us otaku writers don't have any friends in the publishing industry or other channels. Asuka is said to be unruly. Annoyed the mobile company.,A few months ago, the mobile company blocked the flying bird network.,All the works of the flying bird network can't be on the wireless platform.。 And......" the Dark Warrior laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "there's Cangshen's "Infinite Terror" singing big drama outside. It's hard to sell other infinite stream works even if they are physical. So for us, the e-subscription share of the website is almost all the income of our writing. made Mr. Chang and Editor-in-Chief Lin smile. Hehe. ”

"This bird net is really excessive. Have the money to hire a professional sunspot to hack us, but don't have the money to pay the author? Lin Yonggang said suddenly, as if he was indignant.

"Bird Net is my old master, I shouldn't have scolded them behind my back. But they really chilled us writers. The Dark Knight shook his head and sighed, his fat face trembling helplessly.

Chang Zheng: "Samurai, I understand what you said. Please rest assured that we will reflect the payment of remuneration in the contract. Similar to an employment contract, if an employer fails to pay wages to an employee on time, the employee can file a lawsuit with the employer. If we don't pay the manuscript on time, you can also sue me. Therefore, when it comes to manuscript fees, you can rest assured that you will get more for more work. I'm also a writer, and I certainly know how writers feel. Do you have any other expectations besides the manuscript fee? ”

The Dark Knight hesitated for two seconds, and then said with some embarrassment, "Yes." Let me first briefly talk to Mr. Chang and Mr. Lin about the situation of our eight brothers. The eight of us all write science fiction essays on the Asuka network, and of course, today's science fiction essays are basically infinitely streamed. First of all, our bodies are absolutely innocent. We've finished all eight of our books, so we don't have anything to do with Asuka now. ”

Chang Zheng nodded in understanding. Lin Yonggang also told Chang Zheng about the situation of these eight authors before, and they all signed contracts with Flying Bird according to their works, rather than signing people to sell themselves.

The signed work has been written, and the author is free. Authors can choose to continue to post on the original website, or they can choose to change the site and try it with another owner, which is their freedom.

If an author serializes a work on website A and at the same time goes to website B to open a new book, it is a breach of contract. Chang Zheng didn't want to get into such trouble.

Of course, the authors are not stupid, before they change stations, they have to finish writing the work they are serializing anyway, even if it is hastily finished, they have to get an ending.

When writing a novel, as long as the author wants to make an ending, he can always make it.

The protagonist woke up and found that it was Nan Ke's dream...... The whole book is over", Chang Zheng once wrote such an ending.

However, a bad finish can have an impact on an author's credibility. The rotten tail is a little better than the eunuch, and the eunuch is the entire small dingding has been cut off by the roots. If it's not finished, at least the little dingding is not finished, and how much can you keep a few taels of meat, it's better than nothing. Perhaps this is the difference between a eunuch and an unfinished.

But opening two websites at the same time is not only a matter of credibility, but also a moral and legal issue. It is illegal for a woman to marry two husbands, violating the marriage law and committing the crime of bigamy.

The Dark Knights have all finished writing their books, so there are no contract problems.

Chang Zheng motioned for the Dark Warrior to continue voicing his demands.

The Dark Warrior continued, "Mr. Chang, although we are not very well-known, we can be regarded as having a certain number of regular readers. If it weren't for the support of these readers, we would have left Flying Bird to find another way out, hehe. ”

"That's it. As writers, readers are our most valuable asset. Chang Zheng nodded in agreement. The smaller the site, the more loyal the reader is likely to be to a particular author. Many readers go to small and medium-sized websites for a certain author.

The fat on the dark warrior's face began to tremble again, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, but it looked a little reluctant and funny, and he said, "Mr. Chang, if the eight brothers come to the New Beginnings Network together, our readers will also follow. ”

Chang Zheng smiled kindly: "Samurai, if you have something to say, just say it, it's okay." Let's finish what we need to say first, and then we can open our hearts and cooperate. I've read your book, and it's written with great enthusiasm, and they all say that the text is like its person, so even if you put forward requirements and conditions, I will definitely do what I can do, okay? ”

Chang Zheng also saw that the Dark Warrior said that they had a regular group of readers and could bring a lot of readers over, and he wanted to add some chips to himself.

Understandable, totally understandable. When Chang Zheng sold the book and shadow rights of "Evil Awe-inspiring", he also used similar tactics against Zheng Wu and reaped good returns. The money from selling the copyright of "Evil Awe" is an important fund for Chang Zheng to open the company.

It's just that compared to Chang Zheng, the Dark Warrior seems to be a little jerky about bargaining psychological warfare.

The Dark Warrior was very fat, and his face was already dripping with sweat, I don't know if it was nervous or hot? It's early November and it's not very hot.

Chang Zheng thought it was funny, it seemed that he was more cunning among the authors. Most of the authors are probably like the Dark Knights, who are particularly embarrassed to talk about money.

In fact, Chang Zheng really wanted to talk to the dark warrior about money, after all, they were in contact for the first time. It's not too reassuring to deal with people who don't know too well and talk about anything else. Only by talking about money and tying the two parties together with interests, the relationship between the two parties may be closer in the stage of obtaining benefits.

The Dark Knight raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Chang, we hope that in terms of subscription sharing, we can appropriately increase it. ”

"Yes." Chang Zheng immediately agreed, "Our website charges readers eight cents for 1,000 words, and the author gets five cents for this eight cents, and our website gets three cents." Samurai, you have also been writing in the online literature industry for three years, and you should know the market. Our subscription share to authors is the highest in the industry. I welcome you to join us. In order to show my sincerity, you eight brothers posted on my new starting point, and our website does not take a share, and the subscription income of 1,000 words and eight cents is yours. What do you think of this? ”

"Huh?" The Dark Knight was a little surprised.

Chang Zheng patted the dark warrior on the thigh and said, "But you have to keep it a secret." Don't talk about this kind of thing with other authors. OK? (To be continued......)
