This time I communicated with Shanda.

Or it's not called communication, but directly discussing the purchase.

There are light novels in Japan, and there are web novels here in China.

Some netizens think that Japanese light novels are much better than Chinese online novels, and they are more imaginative.

In Su Yang's opinion, it is a fart.

Light novels are not necessarily all high-quality novels.

There are also many scum in online literature.

But the biggest difference between the two is the cardinality.

The base of online literature in China is much larger than that of light novels.

Even if you look for a good and high-quality novel among the thousands of books in China, there are many more good novels you get.

Then there is the Japanese light novel, which is a derivative of ACG, a branch of the animation industry, and is now called ACGN (Animation, Comic, Game, Novel)

So most of the light novels I see have beautiful illustrations, and many times they are dominated by "moe" or other anime-related characteristics (especially in recent years), which is representative of love elements and magical battles. And there are all kinds of online articles in China, and the range of types is much larger.

Of course, there are many sameness in online literature.

It's just that the quantity can't stand up, and the quantitative change produces the qualitative change. The overall online literature is definitely better than the Japanese light novels.

At least that's what Su Yang thinks.

And this time, Su Yang's purpose in coming to Shanda is to buy its starting point website.

The starting point of Chinese is estimated at about $800 million.

Su Yang wanted to buy the starting point Chinese network this time, but he also brought enough capital.

The last Chen Tianqiao was sold to Su Yang at five times the market value.

During this time, with the departure of the original team of the starting point, in fact, the valuation of the starting point has declined.

And it's not just the starting point in China. Although the starting point is a bit of a monopoly feeling.

But the movement made by Tencent is not small. Again. If it weren't for the huge base that already existed before the starting point.

Both of them are just a simple and fair start to develop, with the whole platform of advertising from the current starting point. I want to win the creation of the world.

Just because of the cleanliness of the page, there is already a gap between the two. However, in fact, the most important thing in online literature is online writers.

It's just that Tencent is called wealthy.

And the grand behind the starting point can be said to have been going downhill all these years.

If you want to compare financial resources with Tencent, you can't do it, which is why one author after another at the starting point has been poached by Genesis during this time.

Even if their readership base is not as good as the starting point, they have money.

Tencent can throw money at it so that these authors don't have to worry about those clicks to subscribe and the like.

All you need to do is write your own book. People don't care about making money now, making money is left for later, and now they care about how to forcibly occupy readers. And how to poach

Even if Shanda has always said that he would not sell, but after Su Yang made so much money, he finally leaked his businessman nature.

Sold

On December 15, the two sides officially signed a cooperation treaty, and after the signing was completed on Suyang's side.

Won the starting point Chinese network. Almost on the same day, all the ads on the site were removed at the first time.

This is true even if it is a game that has been changed by some online literature.

The vast majority of people who come to this site are just reading novels. And not to play that page game.

However, there are fewer pages to play, and the writers who change the game will definitely earn less, but that's okay. It's good to directly subsidize it with money.

Some of the people involved should calculate the benefits that the page game can bring, and then deliver it directly to these authors in the form of cash.

These money is invested. Su Yang really didn't care.

The other is that Su Yang's side has already asked the technical department of SL to develop a reading software a long time ago.

After purchasing the starting point, this software is directly connected to the starting point.

All SL phones. Tablet's for users. also received a push message at the first time.

Start with free reading.

The purpose of the software is to all Spare Leash users. You can read any of the starting point novels on this app, and it's free.

It's just that many online authors are forced to rely on subscriptions to eat, and Su Yang is so sudden, although it is cheaper than SL users, it seems that he can't give these authors any benefits.

Su Yang also thought of this.

After the chapters are put on the shelves, as long as the users of SL read them, then they will be paid to the author according to the original payment standard.

You must know that among the readers who used to start from, there were millions of people who paid at most.

But Su Yang's policy is equivalent to how many times it has been increased all of a sudden?

You must know that at present, all the users of SL's sy mobile phones and greatest tablets add up, at least there are more than 300 million.

In China alone, there are already more than 150 million people using SY mobile phones. Of course, not all of them are the latest versions, but there are also many first and second versions of SY phones that have only been bought in recent years.

But no matter what, SY users have already reached such a terrifying number.

When these two numbers are compared, if all these people read online novels, it is equivalent to a hundredfold increase in the number of potential readers.

In the past, people who earned one or two hundred subscription money a month are equivalent to earning one or two hundred thousand at once.

Of course, this is only theoretical data. It is impossible for the actual figures to reach such a high level.

There is still a certain user group of online literature.

With so many Spare Leash users, it's great to have about a third of them become readers.

After all, more than half of SL's products are foreign users, although the software has already taken measures to synchronize translation.

However, the acceptance of Chinese online literature in foreign countries is also very worthy of study.

So the main thing is the market in China.

There are more than 100 million users here in Huaxia. Except for some who don't read online literature, they can't accept online literature. Or after someone who doesn't have time to read online literature.

In the end, there is about half left.

The end result is that it can increase the readership by about ten times.

And as time goes by, more and more people accept online literature in the future.

In the end, the authors at the starting point are getting higher and higher, and that's not an ironclad thing.

The actual chapter reading figures will also be updated on the web in due course.

Another aspect. The starting point of the web version of the Chinese website, the first, the expenditure required for subscription, readers will also change from the previous thousand words and two cents to a thousand words and one penny.

The reader's income generated by the subscription will be held entirely by the author.

While enjoying these benefits, the authors of the starting point will have full rights to SL for the publishing rights of their books, film adaptations, etc.

The benefits generated by SL's use of these copyrights can be enjoyed by the author within 10,000 yuan.

Within 100,000. Authors can enjoy twenty-five percent of the benefits.

Within 100,000 words and 1 million, the author can enjoy 30% of the benefits.

If the income is more than 1 million, the author can get 35% to 80% of the benefit.

Specific figures, the more benefits, the more the proportion of benefits the author receives.

If you don't want to, then of course you can, but the novel won't appear on the starting point reading app designed by SL.

The 1,000-word fee will continue to be the same.

Su Yang already had ideas for these things earlier, so the implementation was still very fast.

Of course, there are certainly some readers who don't want to, but these readers account for all readers. Not even one percent of the side.

At the same time, almost the day after these contracts were signed. The great god exchange group at the starting point is already exploding.

"Dear, please tell me, is there something wrong with your system? The numbers are too no. It's hard to look at it directly. ”

"Don't look at it. Just say how much you've added. Everyone is so lively in the morning, you think you are the only one who has encountered this thing. I've already asked about the starting point. The number is correct, that's right. ”

"Wind chimes. How much did you increase your subscription yesterday? ”

"I thought I was dreaming. More than 19 million subscriptions were added in a single day. Damn, it's real or fake. What about you. Fatty, how much did your subscription increase yesterday. The benefits of this day's subscription are quite equal to my total subscription for a year. ”

"Damn, I'm not as much as you, only 10 million. You're writing too long."

"There are no three young people in the long, so how much has the subscription of this product risen."

"I just logged in to the reader's background of that product before, and this guy's subscription has increased by more than 23 million in a day"

"What the hell is going on, why are there so many more at once."

"Have you forgotten that yesterday, the editor at the starting point called me and asked me to sign the contract."

"Holy, okay, I got it. But I hesitated for a while, but I finally made a decisive move. ”

"This should only be the explosive growth in the early stage, and there shouldn't be much in the later stage. Many of the things that were inconvenient to read in the past were pirated copies, which can be regarded as compensation. But not necessarily in the future. ”

"Even if it is an outbreak in the early stage, just looking at the trend of the outbreak on this day, it is not normal for the number of readers in the later period to increase by ten or twenty times."

"Hahahaha, in the future, buddy one will be a person with an annual income of nine figures. The buddy has also become a local tyrant. ”

"Su Yang, the new boss, is really generous, this time to throw money, the authors of those other websites are still running over."

"Who's to say it's not, wait a minute, I'm the god machine. I guess it has something to do with that. ”

(After writing this chapter, I feel that some things seem unlikely, and there should be some operational problems that need to be considered, but the author is not a real CEO, so there will not be so many things to write.) It's just that I take it for granted. If you think this is unacceptable, you can skip reading cough cough cough) (to be continued......)
