Jin Yong looked at Chen Ping and saw the change in expression on his face, and knew that Chen Ping had already understood his intention. simply said directly: "Now many people are paying attention to literary websites, and there must be people secretly preparing to build websites, or direct acquisitions." I am very optimistic about literary websites, and I have also read a lot of literary websites on the Internet in the past few days, and there are several websites that have been on the right track, and I can't look at other websites, so I want to build a new website. ”

Planning a new website?

Chen Ping and Fenghuo were stunned after hearing this, others may think that it is very simple to build a new website, as long as there are funds and technical personnel, the website can be established quickly.

If it's a normal website, this is a good idea. But now it's a literary website, and a literary website is too different from a general website.

The average website may not invest much in the early stage, and it does not require too many staff. However, the literary website is different, it needs a large amount of capital injection in the early stage in order to support the normal operation of the website, and it is impossible to make a profit in the first half of the year, or even a year, which is a very big test for investors.

Again, literary websites need a lot of staff. Not only do you need technical staff, but you also need a lot of editors, and editors of literary websites value experience and vision moreover.

The ultimate goal of a literary website is to make a profit, and if you want to make a profit, you must have enough works, and in a large number of works, you must have a group of excellent novels that readers are willing to spend, and only in this way can the website recover its investment from the author.

Where do excellent works come from?

The author wrote it.

How can you select potential authors from a large pool of authors to invest in?

It's up to the editor.

Whether a novel has a commercial future or not requires an experienced editor to assess. If you pick out potential authors from a large number of authors, it also requires a discerning editor.

Investors are easy to find, the key is that a professional online editorial team is difficult to find.

Chen Ping directly said the concerns in his heart, Jin Yong smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "Don't forget what I do." Ming Pao itself is engaged in media and text work, and we have a large number of professional editors, although they are not good at online novels, but I believe that as long as they can find an experienced online novel editor to guide them, they can adapt to the position of online novel editor as quickly as possible. ”

"And what did you come to us for?" Beacon interjected.

Jin Yong's face slowly became serious. said: "Compared with other websites, there is another special feature of literary websites. Literary websites do not look at the amount of investment behind them, nor do they look at the influence of your advertising, and the most important thing for literary websites is excellent authors. The starting point now has dozens of highly popular authors, so it's the leading literary website. The digital website has poached a group of excellent authors from the starting point, so it has developed rapidly in the past two years. I'm here to invite you to join the new site. ”

In fact, when Jin Yong asked Chen Ping earlier if he remembered what he had said before, Chen Ping had this feeling. It's just that now that Jin Yong said it himself, Chen Ping felt even more embarrassed.

I finally got mixed up at the starting point, if I change places now, with my current status in the online literature industry, my income will definitely not be worse than the starting point. The key is, if you really go to a new website, or a website with an unknown number of readers, will you be able to get proud results in your future books?

Moreover. "Yang God" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" are both being updated, although "Tomb Robbery Notes" has not yet been signed. But "Yang God" can only change places after finishing the book!

Eight consecutive monthly passes!

I have only won three consecutive championships now, and it will take at least five months.

"I can't give you an answer right now, I'll think about it when I'm done with the work at the beginning. And I can't guarantee that you'll be added to your new website when you're done. Chen Ping could only tell the truth. He knew that there were times when it was better to say no outright than to say no tactfully.

Jin Yong's face was very indifferent, as if he had already guessed that Chen Ping would answer him like this, and he couldn't see a trace of disappointment at all. Hehe smiled. looked at the beacon fire and said, "Xiaoyou, your work is almost finished, right?" What do you think? Isn't it a thought about our website? ”

Fenghuo smiled and said, "Can your website praise me as a god of Brother Ping's level?" ”

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "In the first two years, it is estimated that it is impossible. ”

"Can I make more than five million a year?"

"As long as you can write good enough work!"

Fenghuo didn't expect Jin Yong to say such a thing, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, I was joking just now." You better ask Brother Ping first, and if he is willing to join your website, I will follow. ”

A few people chatted some gossip again, and Jin Yong said to Ni Kuang that he was sleepy, after all, he was a lot older. Chen Ping sent the two back to the room, then looked at Fenghuo and said, "You still don't leave?" I've mixed up the rice, so why don't you want to stay here for one night? I can tell you, we have no place in our house. ”

Under the light, Beacon Huo blushed and glared at Chen Ping.

"It's useless for you to see me, the two of them have a room for one person, and it's just full, so where are you coming from, and where are you going back, brother won't wait!"

……

After Jin Yong and Ni Kuang went back, the two did not sleep separately, but sat together drinking tea and chatting quietly.

"I told you before I came, don't look at Chen Ping's youth, but he is very popular in front of several other online writers. Don't say that others are looking forward to him, at least he attaches great importance to his opinions. Now it seems that several other writers don't need to be contacted for the time being, as long as they can convince Chen Ping, I believe that with Chen Ping's popularity, they will definitely be able to attract a lot of authors. Ni Kuang said slowly, his chubby face and small eyes full of essence.

Jin Yong nodded after hearing this, and then said: "I have always paid attention to "Yang God", according to Chen Ping, this book will be written in at least a few months, should we wait for him for a few months?" If we really wait for him for a few months, then we need to invest a lot of money in these months, and what is the difference between this money and throwing it into the water? Without a popular author, where do readers come from? ”

Ni Kuang shook his head indifferently and said: "You definitely can't wait, but everyone who has ideas about literary websites is racing against time, if we wait, it means falling behind, and falling behind will definitely not have too many benefits." I think that even if Chen Ping does not agree to join our website now, we must immediately start the preparatory work for the construction of the website. Moreover, our most important task at the moment is to find a professional online editor, only by finding this person, our editorial team can grow rapidly. ”

Jin Yong smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that I have to find such a person quickly, but how easy is this matter?" It is easy to find an ordinary online editor, but what we are looking for is someone who has both the professional ability of an editor and the ability to manage a team. Moreover, many companies are now setting their sights on literary websites, and what we can think of, others will definitely not ignore. In addition, if you want to become a big literary website, you will definitely pay more attention to attracting talents for your own website at this time, and it is even more difficult to poach such talents from other websites. ”

"In this world, there is no absolute loyalty, but there are not enough chips for betrayal." Ni Kuang looked at Jin Yong and said, "Everyone knows that talent is the most important thing, but if you want to dig such talents, you must pay the price, not afraid that others will have such a purpose, just look at how determined we are." As long as you give enough, talents will definitely take the initiative to come. ”

"That's what I said, but at what cost? Also, will we get enough of the price we pay from him? I'm willing to take a risk if it's just you and me, but there are several other investors in the new website, how do you convince them? ”

……

New website!?

After returning to the bedroom, Chen Ping still had Jin Yong's words just now circling in his mind. Although he knew that there were other companies involved in the online literature circle in his previous life, he didn't expect Jin Yong to really get involved.

Compared with other companies, if Jin Yong really wants to start a website, he will definitely have an advantage over other companies. His fame has influenced the spiritual entertainment of almost generations. If his website is built, it will definitely attract a large number of readers. If he can really get a few good authors, then the new website can quickly surpass some small websites.

In the memories of the previous life, more than one great god jumped ship, but what about the final result? Someone ascended, someone fell. Chen Ping doesn't know what awaits him if he really changes jobs!

So, he hesitated!

The phone rang, it was grapes.

"It's so late, what's wrong?"

"Are you free tomorrow? If you have time, the company has just launched a contract for platinum writers, let you take a look at it, and if you agree, go according to the new contract. ”

New contract again?

Since Chen Ping wrote the book at the starting point, how many times has this changed the contract?

But thinking that the new contract that Grape said was specially prepared for the platinum god, he was also a little curious, and wanted to see what kind of means the starting point was going to come up with to retain the limited author resources!

"Okay, I'll go over tomorrow and see." After saying this, Chen Ping suddenly thought of one thing, so he asked: "By the way, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" did not sign a contract with the starting point, Mr. Jin Yong invited me to serialize "Notes on Tomb Robbery" in Ming Pao, there is nothing illegal in this, right?" ”

Grape groaned and said, "I don't know too much, I'll help you ask your colleagues in the legal department tomorrow." By the way, it stands to reason that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" needs to be signed at the starting point, when will you sign the contract? After looking at the new contract? ”

"Let's talk about the new contract tomorrow, I've been running for a day today, and I'm a little tired." (To be continued......)

PS: I came back late from work today, and the update was late, sorry. There is another chapter, estimated to be half past ten......
