At 9:28 a.m., in a conference room on the 22nd floor of Huayue Building.

In the center of the room is an oval-shaped conference table with a few green plants in the hollow in the middle of the table.

Chang Zheng sat in a chair and ran his hand through his hair. The wind blows the hairstyle messily.

From the place of traffic jam to Huayue Building, 20 kilometers, it took 8 minutes for Huahan to drive a motorcycle. Taking the elevator from the parking lot to the conference room on the 22nd floor, plus the time to move, it took Chang Zheng and Hua Hanlu 8 minutes.

There are still 2 minutes to meet the chairman of Huadongfeng, but fortunately I am not late.

Chang Zheng said to Hua Hanlu, who was sitting opposite: "Minister Hua, you are the minister with the best car skills I have ever seen." Say you drive your race car to and from work every day? Are you allowed to drive in the city? Even if you were allowed, you were speeding just now. But it's better to drive a motorcycle than a car, and you don't have to worry about traffic jams, so you're only commuting to work on a motorcycle, right? ”

Hua Hanlu said coldly: "This doesn't need to be bothered. ”

After speaking, she immediately got up, looked at Chang Zheng's side and said, "Chairman." ”

Chang Zheng hurriedly got up, he knew that Hua Hanlu didn't call him. He turned and saw a man beside him.

Chang Zheng has done his homework in advance and has deeply studied the history of the struggle of Chairman Huayue Group. The man in front of him was Huadongfeng.

According to online information, Hua Dongfeng founded Huayue Group 30 years ago, when he was 38 years old. That is to say, Huadongfeng is 68 years old this year.

But no matter how Chang Zheng looked at the East China wind in front of him, he didn't look like an old man who was nearly seventy years old. Hua Dongfeng looks like he is fifty-seven or eighteen, he is burly, ruddy complexion, full of energy, and there are few white hairs. Maybe a big boss like him pays more attention to his image and dyes his hair.

Hua Dongfeng took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Always always, right?" ”

Chang Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hua Dongfeng, "Hello Hua Dong." I'm a regular recruit. ”

"You may be seated." Hua Dongfeng asked Chang Zheng to sit down, and he dragged the chair next to Chang Zheng's seat back and sat down.

Hua Dongfeng's sitting posture is very upright, and the information shows that he was a soldier before becoming the boss. Chang Zheng felt that Hua Dongfeng exuded an aura of non-anger and self-authority, and people who have been bosses for thirty years probably have this kind of atmosphere.

Hua Dongfeng said: "I am very happy that we are about to start cooperation, our Huayue is the first time to engage in business in the field of culture, and I hope we can support each other in the future." ”

"Hua Dong is polite, you have always been a person I respect. I want to ask you, our new starting company, to learn more from Huayue Group, and ask for more advice. Chang Zheng said.

"Oh. What do you respect about me? Hua Dongfeng asked with a smile.

Chang Zheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "You have courage, courage, and a patriotic heart. ”

"You read this on the Internet, right? You haven't seen me, how do you know I'm patriotic? Hua Dongfeng said.

"I read part of it on the Internet, and I figured out part of it." Chang Zheng replied.

"Haha, that's kind of interesting." Hua Dongfeng smiled heartily, "Back then, I went to the sea to do business, just to make my life better." Later, when the business became bigger, I was also patriotic. Okay, Mr. Chang. We've met. Xiao Yue said that she is very optimistic about you, and she is really a young talent. I hope the cooperation between the two of us will go well. I entrusted Hanlu to be responsible for the negotiation of the Zhitianxia platform, and she has the right to seal on behalf of our group. I'll have an important reception later. You can't be accompanied. Hua Dongfeng got up after speaking.

Chang Zheng also got up, and after the two shook hands again, Hua Dongfeng left the conference room.

The two of them had been talking for less than five minutes, and they had really just met. East China Wind is the leader of Huayue Group. It's also polite to meet Chang Zheng, the leader of the new starting company. Although there is a thousand-fold disparity in the net worth of these two top leaders, East China does not despise Chang Zheng. At least he had come to see Chang Zheng in person. To receive foreign heads of state, it is necessary for the head of state of one's own country to go out in person, and the second-in-command or third-in-command cannot be arranged to receive other people's heads of state, otherwise they will look down on other people's countries. The exchanges between companies are like diplomacy between countries, and the superficial efforts must be done in place.

"Mr. Chang, let's start talking about business." Hua Hanlu said to Chang Zheng.

"Wait a minute, my team should be almost there." Chang Zheng took out his mobile phone and called Lin Yonggang, "Editor-in-chief Lin, where are you?" Two more stops, right? Okay, speed. ”

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Yonggang, Zou Peng, and Wu Hao rushed to the conference room, and Xiao Jin and the business car were still stuck in the road. Fortunately, just now, Chang Zheng made the decision to get out of the car and run away.

Hua Hanlu's team of five people also arrived in the conference room. The two sides conducted in-depth and specific exchanges on cooperation matters.

The negotiations lasted all day, and at 5 p.m., the two sides finally negotiated and signed a cooperation agreement.

Some of the key points of the cooperation agreement include:

On March 30, the Zhitianxia mobile reading platform will be officially launched. The works of the new starting point network, mainly VIP works of more than 500,000 words, will be sold online as the first batch of works on the Zhitianxia platform.

Sales share, Huayue Group and New Start Company split the account. Billed monthly.

Before March 30, Huayue sent technical personnel to New Start Company to assist New Start Network to open a synchronization port connected to the Zhitianxia platform. New Starting Point Company also sent technical personnel to Huayue Group to follow up on the terminal situation.

The term of the above agreement is two years, and the online literary works of New Beginnings shall not be sold on other wireless platforms within two years.

After Chang Zheng signed, he and Hua Hanlu kept an agreement.

Chang Zheng shook hands with Hua Hanlu, and everyone present applauded.

Chang Zheng said to Hua Hanlu: "Minister Hua, in addition to selling mobile phones, you should still promote the 'Know the World' mobile reading platform through other channels, right?" We will vigorously recommend the 'Know the World' platform on the New Starting Point website, but the internal recommendation of our website is not very useful. Old users of New Start will still read books on New Start or our mobile client. The real consumer customers of the 'Zhitianxia' platform are those consumers other than our users of the new starting point network. I don't know if Minister Hua understands what I said? ”

Hua Hanlu: "We'll arrange it." ”

Chang Zheng: "That's good. To celebrate the agreement between the two of us, I propose that we have a few drinks together tonight with a new starting point. What do you think, Minister Hua? ”

Hua Hanlu: "Another day." ”

"It's fine." Chang Zheng estimated that Hua Hanlu would not go, he was just polite.

……

After returning to Nangang, the new starting point company was busy, and the editorial department was making intense preparations for the "Knowing the World" platform.

The editorial department began to investigate the VIP works of more than 500,000 words on the new starting point network. Elements such as politics, violence, and pornography must not cross the line.

Compared to book stations, there are fewer recommended locations on the wireless side. Therefore, the editorial department should be sorted, which works should be prioritized in the strong recommendation position of "knowing the world", and the 32 buyout works should of course be prioritized.

In terms of physical publishing, the editorial department selected five books, and Ma Yuan suggested that Chang Zheng should publish these five books first.

These five books are "Queen 2" by Mei Juju, "Who Fights 2" by Huang Haifeng, "This Unusual Boy" by Wood Monster, "King Kong Machine" by Mighty Kong Maru, and "Infinite Ascension" by Dark Samurai.

Happy Chick's "Palace 2" was not included in the first batch of published catalogs. Because her "Palace 1" has not yet been published in a physical book. You can't just have a sequel.

Of these five books, four are urban novels and one is an infinite stream.

Chang Zheng now wants to focus on creating urban novels on the New Beginnings Network, because he knows that urban novels will be mainstream novels for a long time. Whether it is realistic or surreal, novels with urban backgrounds have an innate sense of substitution advantage for readers.

Martial arts novels are also very popular now, and this kind of novel represents another kind of selfish desire to meet needs, that is, personal heroism, martial arts, and domination of martial arts. The heroes of martial arts novels. Help readers accomplish things that are impossible in contemporary real life. The vast majority of fans of martial arts novels are male readers, and most men have a heroic dream in their hearts.

Nowadays, it is a society ruled by law, and it is becoming more and more difficult to accomplish the great cause of killing the rich and helping the poor. But excellent martial arts novels can allow readers to dream of this hero for a period of time. This is also the main reason why martial arts novels have been highly sought after by male readers since they came out.

But after the emergence of upgraded versions of martial arts novels - fantasy and fairy tale novels. Traditional martial arts novels began to be gradually ignored. Fantasy and Xianxia novels are born out of martial arts novels, which can reflect more shocking personal heroism.

Chang Zheng understands the development trend of online literature on the earth, and as soon as fantasy and fairy tales novels come out, this type of novel will become the overlord of the online literature industry. Take a look at the most famous and best-selling web novels on the planet. Eight out of ten books are fantasy and fairy tales. The famous Central Plains Five White refers to the five most famous platinum gods on the earth. The tomato god, the three young gods, the god of the machine, the potato god, and the Dongdong god, these five platinum gods have all relied on fantasy and Xianxia novels to establish the platinum godhead.

Urban novels can actually compete with fantasy and fairy tale novels. Just like urban novels and martial arts novels are now in confrontation, each accounting for half of the country.

But urban fiction has to face a very strong, powerful opponent who can kill urban fiction in seconds, and this opponent is called "Harmony Beast". Therefore, it is not easy for the author who specializes in urban essays to produce a platinum god, and he has to start from scratch as soon as he is harmonized.

Every time the "anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities" are a major purge for urban novels. But after the Great Purge, countless new urban novels sprung up, which also shows that this kind of fiction has a deep-rooted and extremely large audience.

Writing urban novels inevitably involves some elements, if you don't write it, it's not real, and if you write it, you have to be harmonious. Just write about firewood, rice, oil and salt, daily trivialities, who wants to read it? Martial arts, including fantasy and fairy tales, do not involve the restrictions of such realistic social factors.

Chang Zheng is well aware of the huge mass base of urban novels, and he also knows what restrictions this kind of novels will be subject to, so he asked the editorial department to review it now to see if there are any works that violate the content and whether they have crossed the line. After crossing the line, quickly ask the author to revise it, and the author will remove the book if he is unwilling to revise it. There is no way, some things can only be subordinated to the overall situation.

As for fantasy and Xianxia novels, they are Chang Zhengxue's killer features that have been hidden for a long time, and he has been waiting for the opportunity. In the past, he was a writer on Fenghua.com, and he didn't dare to write this kind of novel, but now he has the conditions. Soon after, as the platform of New Start becomes more and more influential, he will release the world's first fantasy and Xianxia novel. If you want to dominate the literary world, how can you miss fantasy and Xianxia?

Before the advent of fantasy and Xianxia novels, Chang Zheng focused on creating urban novels on the new starting point network. In terms of martial arts novels, he didn't invest more resources to operate, so let it be.

The first batch of five books to be published by New Beginnings, "Queen 2" by Minute Juice and "Who Fights with Huang Haifeng", Chang Zheng has asked Linda to run them several rounds, and now it is harvest season, and it is time to harvest.

In Chang Zheng's general manager's office, Ma Yuan sat in front of his executive desk. Ma Yuan was entrusted with a heavy task by Chang Zheng, and he took two editors in charge to engage in the publishing business.

Ma Yuan handed Chang Zheng a document and asked Chang Zheng to sign. This document is about the five book publishing plans, including the specific operational details, completion time, and financial budget.

Chang Zheng took the document and reviewed it carefully. After reading it, Chang Zheng said: ""Queen 2" and "Who Fights 2" are no problem, let's print 50,000 sets each first." Meijuju and Ah Feng both give them a 20% share of sales. ”

"The Wood Monster's "This Unusual Boy" and "The King Kong Machine" by Mighty Kongmaru are both urban novels. Little Pony, what is the reason for choosing these two books? I remember that the urban novel "Daring Daught" by the white-haired boar was very well written, why was it not included in the first batch of publication catalogs? ”

Ma Yuan replied: "Mr. Chang, you have been busy lately, and you may not have paid attention to the book "Da Dauntless", which was completed the day before yesterday, to be precise, it was unfinished. Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's seven or eight thousand, and the boar is really willing. He sighed.

Chang Zheng was a little surprised: "Oh, is it? That's a shame. I read the first hundreds of thousands of words of this book, and it's really good. If the boar can persist in finishing it, he will become a god with this book alone. That can't be helped, even if you are talented, patience and resilience are also important. The eunuch is unfinished, and everything is empty. ”

"The two authors, Wood Monster and Mighty King Kong Pill, I remember, were students of the first author training course. Hey, interesting, these two boys are with my wind. Chang Zheng said with a smile.

Ma Yuan said: "Since the completion of your "Evil Awe-inspiring", a large number of urban treasure logistics novels have emerged. As a traditional publishing editor, I don't really believe in following the trend, but of course we encourage innovation. But as an online editor of an online book site, I have to admit that popular works have been very marketable for a period of time. "This Unusual Boy" and "King Kong Machine" belong to this kind of marketable follow-up works. ”

Chang Zheng: "Because of time constraints, I can't read every book carefully, so I'll ask you to check it." Urban Treasure Logistics ...... Who defined this genre? What is the core selling point of "This Unusual Boy" and "King Kong Machine"? They are the same as the wind of "Evil Awe", what are their treasures? ”

Ma Yuan: "This Unusual Boy is about a teenager who accidentally obtained a thousand-year-old jade, which has magical powers and can turn people into animals in a short period of time. Although it is to follow the trend, the author of the wood monster can be regarded as creative, and he is an imitative innovation. If this teenager's supernatural power Gu Yu can change people's luck, then we will definitely not recommend this book like this, this is plagiarism. There is still a difference between following the trend and plagiarism, and being smart with it can also be popular. ”

Chang Zheng: "It's kind of interesting. Now there is basically no source innovation, and some are only micro-innovation. You say that I am the ancestor of infinite flow, the ancestor of urban treasure logistics, and now I am also known as the ancestor of game flow. In fact, whether it is "Infinite Horror" or "Evil Awe", or "Full-time Master", they are all inspired. It's just that these sources of inspiration don't just come from novels or literature, but also from movies, comics, etc. I can't just grab an inspiration out of thin air, there will always be a source for inspiration. So there's no shame in following the trend, as you said, it's good to be smart. (To be continued......)
