Chapter 423: Winning the hearts and minds of the people

Wang is ready to get this thing up as fast as he can. The platform and products are all in shape, and now it's time to start testing the waters.

Before doing it, Wang Buyi also made a special trip to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and honestly asked if he wanted to apply for any license for e-commerce.

After all, the celadon technology tree is very popular, so it's better to be careful about something.

As a result, Wang was worried in vain. The current regulations do not deal with e-commerce, and the website itself provides a platform for display, and the real transaction subjects are offline. An existing license is sufficient, and there is no need to apply for anything new.

Wang was relieved to be relieved, and felt that he had to seize the opportunity. The period when regulations are not perfect, and it is also the easiest time to expand the market. Sooner or later, the Internet will become something that everyone is concerned about. After the wild growth, the entry threshold will gradually increase, and it will be difficult to set foot in it at that time.

This time, the product used to test the water is single, and the quantity is limited, so there is no need to make a big fanfare. Just come quietly. He is going to screen some popular players from the previous "Amazing Country: Prequel" and ask them to use their popularity to sell.

There are many people who can make money from "Stunning Country: Prequel". The list was at hand, and Wang was not going to pick some suitable ones.

As a result, he was shocked to find that the people who make the most money through game platforms are not the original creators who provide original content for the Internet, but some consulting platforms that rely on patchwork, copying and pasting.

On the income list, the top hundreds are all this way. I don't do anything to produce myself, and only rely on scraping other people's content to attract traffic. between several platforms. It's also because of the same content、Fight over who is the original.。 It's a miasma.

If it weren't for Wang Buful's readiness to test the waters of e-commerce, he would not have thought of this matter at all, and continued to immerse himself in the cloak of idealism, allowing all kinds of pathologies to appear underneath.

Plagiarism is not an uncommon thing. Later, when the self-media became popular, a large number of disgusting things also emerged under the myth of the grassroots with small and broad views.

Many people, with their enthusiasm, painstakingly refer to all kinds of materials and compile them into a document. It often takes a week to come up with a work.

But after the work was taken out, it was dragged from top to bottom with a mouse in two minutes. Moved away. Those plagiarists changed their signatures. Send it out as your own, earn popularity, and then advertise it to monetize......

Plagiarists make a living by sucking blood at a low cost. Later on various social media. The cost of running a marketing account is extremely low. Copy casually, and you can continue to release high-quality articles. It can easily gather tens of millions of fans.

On the contrary, the original creators who were sucked by blood only had a few thousand fans, and they were even mistaken for plagiarists by the fans of the marketing account.

As a result, the original creators gradually withdrew. The overall vibe dropped.

Wang sighed. This is not his original intention, he really wants to use the game to bind the original creator and use the power of countless people to boost celadon technology. But anything idealistic will be distorted when it meets reality. Good intentions are not necessarily rewarded.

Wang Bufu knew that things could not be delayed, and immediately formed a team to distinguish this. Wang Bufu has no way to crack down on all kinds of "information websites", but he can't let those people profit from the virtual server, squeezing out what should be the reward of the original creators.

At the same time, he made stricter rules for "splitting into virtual servers". Sites that use non-original content to attract popularity will be disqualified, and the price of paid items will be changed back to the original price.

In the future, the review process for the opening of the virtual server will also be more complex, and the investigation will be carried out from time to time to ensure that the plagiarists will not be able to monetize the game.

This can be described as a strong man's broken wrist. "Stunning Country: Gaiden" can provide hundreds of thousands of yuan of turnover to Celadon Technology every week. These benefits are also provided by non-original creators. Cutting off the non-originals, Celadon Technology's income will also be reduced.

But Wang did not hesitate. For him, those original creators will become the foundation of Celadon Technology, not only to help Celadon Technology increase its income, but also to promote the game, create a reputation and establish a position.

If you work hard to create something, you must be in a bad mood if you are directly taken away and sold for money. Therefore, Wang Buyi needs to use the simplest and most brutal method and the most resolute attitude to win back the favor of those people. What does it matter if you lose millions of paid props in revenue?

The work of distinguishing between the original and the plagiarist is carried out entirely manually. At the same time, Wang issued a statement on his official website, indicating his attitude of "unconditional protection of the original creator".

Then, Wang Buyi selected fifty real originals who were popular. In the form of sending a station letter, they were invited to test the water of e-commerce with Celadon Technology.

In the letter, Wang Bufu briefly introduced the process and purpose of the trial, and told them the details of the product "slimming bowl".

If they decide to participate in the trial, they will reply with a letter to confirm. Then they just need to convey the relevant news of the "weight loss bowl" through their own channels, just like a salesman. If there are customers who are interested in this, they only need to ask clearly, and then send the shipping address, the number of sends, etc. to Celadon Technology.

The rest is done by Celadon Technology. If the deal is closed, they will be given 10% of the sales.

Compared with the e-commerce model in Wang's memory, this plan is very simple. But this is 2001, and there are people using more modes than this, so Wang is not worried.

Soon, Wang got feedback. Of those fifty people, the vast majority of them, except for seven or eight who were not online, agreed to participate in the trial.

They will agree so quickly, mainly because they see that Wang lives up to the attitude of attacking non-originals. This is exciting news for them.

It's strange for people to be able to make original content when no one pays attention and can't make money at all, and just one or two positive comments can stimulate their fighting spirit. But if this content becomes someone else's cash cow, it will be unbalanced and lose the motivation to create.

And Wang Buful, before they were disheartened, found out about this problem, and simply stood by their side. Immediately won their favor.

If it is implemented well, plagiarism may not necessarily be punished in the future, but it becomes a thankless act. Only by being original and attracting popularity can we get benefits. And doing original content is exactly what those people are good at.

Among those original creators who felt relieved, there was a 38-year-old man named "Liu Cixin", who was an engineer at a thermal power station. In his spare time, he writes science fiction novels and publishes them in magazines. The response has been good, and it has won two "Science Fiction Galaxy Awards".

However, science fiction works are niche themes, and there are always a few science fiction works that can be published in physical publications. He still has a lot of unpublished work. In May, when he learned that he could make money from the virtual server, he applied for one as well. And I also started a blog and posted the science fiction novels I wrote in the past.

He is worthy of being an author who has won consecutive awards. Even if the work cannot be published, the quality is quite high. Moreover, his works are mainly short and medium-length, which is also suitable for the reading habits of current readers. Therefore, it was put on the Internet and quickly gained the attention of readers. Through the virtual server he opened in "Amazing Country: Gaiden", he got more money from it than his salary.

Moreover, it is possible to communicate in real time in the game. There is a lot of chat in Amazing Country: Gaiden, which can be used to interact with readers, understand their feelings, and be inspired.

Just as he was about to shift the focus of his writing from magazines to the Internet, the problem arose. There was an unknown ID, which was suddenly added to his virtual server, and it was conclusively said that Liu Cixin's work was plagiarized from a certain website.

Although Liu Cixin wrote science fiction novels, he didn't know much about the Internet, and he was stunned when he heard it. He conceives his works while he is working and writes when he is off. Now to upload it to the Internet, you have to use two-finger Zen to type it word by word on the document. It would take him three or four hours to write an average of 1,000 words! Why is it plagiarism?

It turned out that his work had been moved to a website that "collected the best of each family". He pasted one or two thousand words, and within five minutes, the website was added with exactly the same text in the original text. However, the byline was changed to "XXX website contributing author".

XXX website not only takes his works, but also copies them elsewhere. From health knowledge to fantasy novels, it's all in it. Since then, it has gained a lot of popularity. A reader of Liu Cixin infiltrated it and estimated that the site could earn thousands of dollars a week.

A lot of popularity though, past theories. But the people who run that website don't need to rack their brains to think about the content, and have plenty of energy to reverse black and white.

Liu Cixin was really a little disheartened, and originally conceived a novella, which was intended to be serialized on the Internet, but she was also a little hesitant.

But if you are defeated like this, isn't it fast for your relatives to bitter your enemies? How can he be worthy of the readers who have always supported him?

Under such contradictions, Wang made the right decision to cut off the plagiarists' share, which provided the impetus for the author to continue his online creation.

Celadon Technology has taken such an attitude, and Liu Cixin feels that there is nothing wrong with helping them sell something. Although looking at the introduction of the "weight loss bowl", Liu Cixin felt that it was not very reliable, but she still decided to give it a try.

In his reply that he had agreed to participate in the trial, he also included his own proposals. He hoped that Wang would live up to his strict attitude towards virtual servers. Bad plagiarists who do not sign the name of the original creator cannot even have the right to open a virtual server.

That's the advice to vent your anger. Even Liu Cixin himself didn't think it was possible to achieve it, that is, he was talking about making himself comfortable.

……

Wang Buyi opened the reply letter one by one, and then saw this suggestion, which was signed "Liu Cixin". (To be continued......)
