Chapter 76
After listening to Liu Sha's analysis report on the online novel website, Yingshuai only wanted to know the conclusion.
Liu Sha said: "According to the analysis results, the current environment of online novels has not been perfected, and the opinions of the brick family are not the best time to intervene at present, and you can wait for the time to be ripe before entering." β
Ying Shuai asked: "What are the more influential novel websites in the market at present?"
Liu Sha lifted her glasses and said: "At present, due to the low user acceptance, there are not many novel websites, and the top three websites have basically monopolized the market. The first is the online version of the "Martial Arts" magazine, which is to put the short and medium-length stories published in the previous magazines on the Internet for people to read for a fee, and there are basically no long-form works on it, because most of the long-form works will be printed separately after the serialization is completed. Because it is the online version of martial arts magazine, it is dominated by martial arts novels.
The second place is the novel channel of Xinhu.com, he has all kinds of novels, but they are mainly for the promotion of physical copyright, and some authors who have no way to publish physical publishing promote through the Internet, hoping to attract the attention of physical publishing houses.
As for the third Fengyun.com, it was founded by a group of online writers, because most of their styles are different from traditional novels, so it is unlikely to be published, so they simply created a website to publish their own novels, and currently mainly rely on advertising to maintain the operation of the website. However, since the founders are all part-time and do not need royalties, they can still be sustained. β
After Liu Sha introduced the situation of the novel website, Ying Shuai asked again: "Have you ever contacted them? Is it possible to acquire them?"
Liu Sha said: "Martial arts magazines are not short of money at all, but they heard that someone wants to invest, but they are interested in selling shares, but they will not sell the website alone, but want to sell the shares of the magazine, at most they are willing to sell 20% of the shares, and the asking price is 300 million." β
Yingshuai knows that "Martial Arts", as one of the top selling magazines in the Ming Dynasty, has its own printing house and publishing house, and this valuation is really not high.
But if Yingshuai wants to realize his strategic intentions, it makes little sense not to buy it without holding, and he also knows that according to the development trend, the development space of physical magazines will become smaller and smaller, and the potential is not large.
However, Yingshuai knew that it was necessary to expand its influence quickly, and it was obvious that a physical magazine was ideal, so he said: "Then if you contact me again, I want full control, if they refuse to sell more shares, forget it." What about the other two?"
"Xinhu has just completed its listing, has a lot of cash in hand, and is looking for investment projects. β
As soon as Liu Sha said this, Yingshuai knew that Xinhu was now a time when people were stupid and had a lot of money, and they couldn't wait to buy and buy everywhere, how could they sell their projects, so they nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"Fengyun is very interested, and they want to talk to the investor behind it, that is, you. Liu Sha said.

In the Qingzhu Tea House on the shore of Xuanwu Lake in Jianye, in a private room, two young people kept looking at their watches, and they didn't notice that the tea was cold.
"Zhou Tian, do you think we can negotiate this time? What if the other party doesn't like online articles and just wants to speculate?"
A young man who looked bookish said to the older man named Zhou Tian in the lead.
"Mingjian, you are too angry with the book, and receiving the money is the most important thing, how to prepare for the future in the future. Zhou Tian stared at the door and replied impatiently.
"No, we came together for the sake of our dreams, and the partners who founded the storm with us trusted us, so they let us negotiate... Mingjian was a little excited when he heard his words.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's me who is in a hurry," Zhou Tian immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing just now, and now that the deal has not been negotiated, it is not a wise move to offend the second shareholder.
Mingjian's face softened a little when he heard his words, and said: "Brother Zhou Tian, we were called by you to establish Fengyun at the beginning, and we all used our spare time to build and manage websites, and everyone thought that we could realize the dream that everyone could become a writer... β
Zhou Tian was a little impatient, he just wanted to speculate and invested tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn't expect that the website had not improved in a few years, he had long wanted to get rid of it, but unfortunately he never met a buyer who was willing to pay a high price.
As for these so-called dreams, he can only sneer, how old are they, what dreams are they talking about, naΓ―ve!
Tuk tuk!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Zhou Tian quickly stopped Mingjian and got up to open the door.
As soon as he saw Liu Sha at the door, he immediately smiled, and when he saw the handsome man behind Liu Sha, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic, this is a genius director, I heard that a film will make a billion, and he is afraid that it will not sell at a good price, but he doesn't know that a handsome film is only a box office, how can the net profit be so powerful.
"Director Ying, it turned out to be you, welcome, I like your movie very much. Zhou Tian said busily.
"Mr. Zhou, let's talk about it inside. Liu Sha said.
"Oh, talk about it, talk about it. Zhou Tian hurriedly got out of the way and invited people in.
After everyone sat down, it was naturally a greeting, but the more Yingshuai and Mingjian talked, the more speculative they became, although the details of the development of the online text were not clear, but he still knew the basic context, so for Mingjian, although Yingshuai didn't say much, but not saying a word was like an initiation, which made him admire.
But after talking for a long time, the two sides never talked about the sale of the website, and Zhou Tian on the side was a little anxious, saying that he was here to talk about business, not to chat and drink tea.
"This Ying Dao, we're almost done with tea, you see?" Zhou Tianxian couldn't help it.
"Yes, let's talk about cooperation first, and after we talk about it, I'll invite everyone to go to Huibin Building to eat hairy crabs. Ying Shuai smiled.
"This is our offer, please take a look at it. Zhou Tian flipped through his bag and chose the top one from the three documents.
"Mr. Zhou, you're not joking, are you?" Ying Shuai looked at Zhou Tian in front of him with a smile.
Zhou Tian was a little embarrassed, but thinking of the net worth of the person in front of him, he straightened up and said: "Ten million, Director Ying, don't look at this price seems to be a bit exaggerated, but as you just analyzed, the prospects of online articles are vast, and if it is combined with film and television, there will definitely be explosive growth." β
Yingshuai smiled, just now he was just drawing a big pie, with the current situation of the online text to reach the height of the original time and space, it is impossible to do it in a few years, and a lot of manpower and material resources have to be invested in the middle, it can be said that he can only buy it now and have no output.
"Ten million?" Ming Jian was also frightened by Zhou Tian's appetite, what they had discussed before was 500,000 to sell fifty percent of the shares, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Zhou Tian with his eyes.
"You also said that it is the future, I don't need to talk about the current situation of the online article, don't you know as a brick family?" Ying Shuai looked at Zhou Tian with a smile.
