Chapter 135: Crisis
The newsroom is actually a small apartment in the middle of nowhere.
Inside is similar to an ordinary white-collar office area, with rows of tables and chairs, and computers, all of which are humans, and there are no aliens.
Office of the Editor-in-Chief.
Zhao Xuan, the chief editor, and Tian Yan, the deputy editor-in-chief, were talking inside, and both of them had a sad face.
"Lao Tian, you hurry up and think of a way, if the website traffic is still declining like this, then we are probably going to go out of business." Zhao Xuan sighed.
"Isn't there any investment over there?" Tian Yan asked.
"It's been three years, no matter how generous you are, you have been losing money and not making money, plus there is no traffic, and the publicity is not in place, everyone will withdraw their funds." Zhao Xuan said.
Tian Yan frowned, and then said angrily: "It's not those dog-day aliens, starting from Base 6, they have been encroaching on the territory of our humans step by step, and now they are all competing for Base 9, and only we humans are unlucky!" ”
Zhao Xuan shook his head and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?" This era is alien, and it is still doubtful whether we humans will still exist on this planet in the future. ”
"Okay, let's not mention that." Tian Yan thought for a while, and said: "I just checked the traffic of each section, and now the traffic of the section is okay, as for other sections, we are congenitally weak, people have money and people, everything is first-hand, even if we reprint it quickly, it will be too late." ”
"Can you still get up then?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"It's too hard." Tian Yan, who has always been steady and confident, also showed a depressed face at this time.
The two said a few more words, and Tian Yan went back to his office.
Sitting in his seat, Tian Yan turned on the computer and thought about whether to start his future work and leave himself a way back.
Then I saw that someone had sent an email to me.
Anyway, I was idle, so I clicked on the email.
"Is it an email from Xiao Yun?" Tian Yan was very impressed by this little girl.
After clicking on it, the title inside is "Shocked! It turns out that humans used to treat aliens like this."
Seeing this title, Tian Yan's eyes lit up slightly: "It turns out that you can still use the title like this?" ”
Click on the content again.
"Hehe, sure enough, the title is just for attracting people's attention." Tian Yan has already seen the "Three-Body Problem" written by "Liu Cixin" inside.
He reads things quickly and seriously.
After reading it, his face showed a look of surprise.
Although there are a lot of science fiction now, there are too few masterpieces like this that are linked to reality and are very in line with science fiction.
Tuk tuk!
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in." Tian Yan said.
Then I saw Ji Xiaoyun, who was already walking in in her work clothes, and as soon as she came in, she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry Tian Lao, I overslept." ”
She was embarrassed to say that she was too fascinated to come late.
"It's fine." Tian Yan waved his hand, pointed to the computer and said, "It's just right, do you know the author of this?" ”
Ji Xiaoyun looked at the computer screen, and at a glance, she knew that it was the "three-body problem".
So she nodded: "I know, and now the other party is my neighbor." ”
Tian Yan said: "This is good, it just so happens that there is an old book in the section that is about to be finished recently, so I will pick this up." Oh,The title can be used with the one you sent.,It's quite innovative.,Just now I was interested in this title because of this.。 ”
"Okay, Tian Lao." Ji Xiaoyun was happy for Yang Luo, and then asked, "Then how is this salary calculated?" ”
Tian Yan thought for a while, and then said: "First of all, according to the normal price, 1,000 clicks and 1 gold yuan corner." ”
"Tian Lao, will it be a little less?" Ji Xiaoyun wanted to fight for Yang Luo a little more.
Tian Yan smiled bitterly.
Now the news studio is in the most situation, not to mention the shortage of funds, there is still the possibility of bankruptcy.
But this one is really good, Tian Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Then let him come to me, and I will talk to him personally." ”
"Okay." Ji Xiaoyun responded.
The name of this newsroom is very ordinary, just "Fun Facts of Nine".
Because the scale of development is not large, and it is difficult to get real-time news reports in the first time, most of the people on the website are people who do not care about reality, and they like to visit other sections except for the news and facts section.
The highest number of hits on the website once exceeded 10,000 times a day, which was created by the news with the highest number of hits, but it was only for a day or two.
Recently, the number of hits on the website has broken through the lower limit, reaching only about 1,500 hits per day.
To be reasonable, there is no need for such websites to continue to survive.
……
The days passed.
Yang Luo's whole person seems to have integrated into this world and into this chaotic era.
Live the same life as everyone else every day.
But it's a bit laid-back.
When Yang Luo was about to go to the news studio, it had been more than half a month since he came to settle in Base No. 9.
There haven't been any major incidents in the past half a month, but it has become more and more obvious when Ji's mother He Zi talked about marriage to Yang Luo, and even Ji Xiaoyun heard it.
When he came to the news studio, Tian Yan expressed surprise at Yang Luo's age.
He originally thought that a science fiction with a serious plot and a lot of knowledge like this would be written by an elderly person, even if he was not old, it would definitely be impossible to be so young.
"Tian Lao, he is Yang Luo, and he is also the author of 'Liu Cixin'." Ji Xiaoyun introduced with a smile.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to you." Tian Yan stretched out his hand.
The two shook each other, and after a pause, they quickly separated.
Yang Luo's face didn't change much, and he also responded with a smile: "I wrote the following plot during this time, and I just finished the first part. ”
Tian Yan's heart was like a huge wave rolling at the moment.
He is a martial artist, and his strength is not weak, but he is usually inconspicuous, so no one knows.
But now he is already a nine-stage master!
But just when he shook hands with Yang Luo, he felt a power like a rock, extremely calm!
This young man is not simple!
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tian Yan's smile was even bigger: "Listening to Xiao Yun, Mr. Yang is still an adventurer?" ”
Yang Luo smiled: "When I was a child, I was adopted by adventurers, and I just wandered around. By the way, I've asked Sister Xiaoyun to send you an email for the first post. ”
"Oh?" Tian Yan immediately turned on the computer and entered his mailbox.
The newsroom has been the saddest of times lately.
Because investors have withdrawn!
Now the entire news studio is supported by the editor-in-chief Zhao Xuan alone, fortunately, Zhao Xuan's family background is also rich, and it is no problem to hold on for a while.
It's just that if you can't find new investors, and the website traffic is poor, if you can't make ends meet, it will go out of business in two months at most!
