Of course, no matter how busy he is, Editor-in-Chief Li can't forget his girlfriend who has only confirmed the relationship in the past few days.

So he is now discussing with Chen Xiaoli in a serious manner...... Job.

The reading coupon of Yihang Reading is so unpleasant, what about the bonus coins of the starting point? So Li Kang did an interview with his girlfriend.

"What do you think of the Startpoint Coin?"

"I haven't thought about it, you can ask someone else."

So the editor-in-chief Li of MDZZ really went to ask others.

"Pig farmer, what do you think of the coins?"

"Deep! Evil! Pain! Break off! ”

Liu Fei expressed his strong dissatisfaction with four deliberately accentuated and bold words.

In fact, Li Kang didn't think about this problem originally, after all, when he was a reader, he only subscribed to Chen Xiaoli's books, and he didn't spend much on books, so naturally he wouldn't use gift coins to subscribe to the only book he really loved.

Later, when I became an editor, I mixed the bonus coins with the currency coins, and never cared about these details.

But this time, because of the reading coupons, the total sales volume of 24.84 million became 3.14 million, and Li Kang had to think more.

He is uncomfortable, and the author is even more uncomfortable, although the reward situation of the starting point itself is not as exaggerated as this one-voyage reading, but in the subscription, almost forty and a half of them are free coins, or they are completely free to read.

This is a data that the author does not know very well, but the official door is clear.

Originally, the coin was very good, which can cultivate the reader's payment habits, and the starting point can be advertised, and the advertising fee is earned without paying anything, killing two birds with one stone.

But after being the object of the free coin pit such as reading coupons became himself, Li Kang began to face up to the problem of his own coins.

Unlike when the knife didn't fall on you, the pain of the cut was nothing more than that.

In a sense, the bonus is used for publicity, and in addition to a small part of the bonus coins given by check-ins and tasks, most of the bonuses are given because readers have seen the advertisement.

In essence, this is considered the cost of publicity, and according to the contract, this part should be paid by Qidian; But according to industry rules, this part of the subscription is not considered money. In fact, it is to transfer the cost to the author in disguise.

It stands to reason that this is a violation.

But because of the strength of the website, coupled with the fact that the subscription income of good works is not low, if you hit the street...... No one reads it, and no one looks at it with gift coins, and for various reasons, no author has made a fuss about it.

Tacitly, the rules slowly become that the author should pay for the gifts.

It stands to reason that this is already a common norm in the online literature industry, and even Yihang Group is no exception.

Therefore, the subscriptions generated by the reading coupons in this channel are also all unprofitable.

Because of empathy, Li Kang, who was a little depressed about this matter, began to ask the familiar author for his opinion on the gift.

After all, he is such a big website, and he can't stand it because of the reading coupons of Yihang Reading; For many people who live on the manuscript fee, the impact of the gift is even greater, and maybe this income is related to whether they can add an extra chicken leg to their lunch.

Although Qidian is now making a lot of money, as a member of the group who once struggled to survive below the poverty line, Li Kang understands that if the gift coins continue to proliferate, it will greatly affect the author's income.

And now...... Li Kang looked at the next activities, and it was time to recharge and give away coins in the middle of the month, and the recharge activity would start tomorrow.

Li Kang thought about it, called the operation side first, and temporarily stopped the activity.

He wants to reform the gift coin.

In fact, this reform has been circling in his mind for a long time.

The temporary bonus problem is only one of the links, and it is also a problem that I have just realized today.

Although Li Kang's original plan had nothing to do with the gift, it was also a reform that shook the entire industry like a landslide.

He wants to let Qidian take the lead in reducing the price!

The online text charging system started at the end of the year, and the price was also the price more than ten years ago, and it has remained unchanged so far.

Five points for a thousand words, four points for the beginning V, and three points for the high V.

In the case that there were not many readers at that time, this price ensured that the diligent street fighters could barely make ends meet with the manuscript fee and full diligence every month, whether it was to eat a nest head of four yuan for one dollar, or to eat a bowl of noodles for five yuan a bowl if they earned more, they could always get a little money every month to ensure that the coders would not starve to death.

But now, Li Kang wants to reduce the price, which is undoubtedly a big ** that touches everyone's interests.

Author's, website's, and network's ......

Especially now, after the crackdown on piracy, the proportion of genuine readers is increasing, this behavior is more like a mentally retarded can do.

But...... This is the result of Li Kang's careful consideration for more than half a month.

From the beginning of studying with Editor-in-Chief Li, Li Kang had this idea faintly.

Or rather, the idea he had since he became an editor, or even earlier, since he was a student.

Because reading books is too expensive.

It seems that his idea of reducing the price and selling is digging into the corner of his own wall, but Li Kang has also carefully analyzed it, if Qidian takes the lead in reducing the price, it should be ...... It's a good thing.

If this behavior is really done, it will be too risky, but Li Kang, he wants to give it a try.

Five cents for 1,000 words, five cents for 10,000 words, 50 yuan for 100,000 words, 50 yuan for 10,000 words, VIP and discounts.

This price may not seem high, but with the reading speed of today's readers, it only takes three minutes to average 2,000 words, and 10,000 words is only a quarter of an hour.

What about a million words? A whole day of sleepless rest is enough, and only three or four hours a day are read, and these million words are only a week's amount.

In the past, it was only convenient to watch on the PC side, but at that time, it was limited by the device, and there was not much time to surf the Internet, and there was even less time to read online texts, so even if it was a full subscription to the party, it didn't cost much.

For example, the Blue Diamond Alliance is commonplace now, and at that time, an ordinary alliance leader was a great thing.

Nowadays, when reading on mobile phones is so convenient, you can take it at the sporadic time of the day, such as when you go to the toilet, when you eat, and before you go to bed...... It's just three or four hours, and that's just a sporadic time.

Some are good-looking, they can make people fascinated, and it is not uncommon for readers to forget to sleep and eat, and it is not uncommon to read a million words a day faster.

For example, "Urging the Demon King" always has such readers.

A million words a day, that's fifty dollars! Every day like this, let the reader how to bear it.

Now there are so many excellent books in the library, readers are only worried about the lack of time, and basically there is no worry about the book shortage, but the consumption is large.

Especially now, when piracy is almost extinct, if readers want to read the original version and have a good time, this expense is a bit intimidating.
