Chapter 101 Capital Operation of the Internet Literature Industry
Latest URL: "Then what are you waiting for?"
A senior executive immediately laughed and said, "Sell it, that's 100 million yuan. If it weren't for the fact that they need traffic support during the development period, they would definitely not be able to sell at such a high price. This online reading website is clearly for us. Send money!"
"I agree."
Next to him, another executive nodded immediately, and said, "After passing this village, there will be no more shops here."
"Although there are currently only two online reading websites offering quotations, the first one's quotation of 50 million is about the same. After all, judging from the current sales of physical books of "Weibing Classics", it is not difficult to sell 5 million copies. 50 million It's quite appropriate, the quotation of the second company doubled at once, judging from the situation of this quotation, there should not be a quotation higher than 100 million."
An executive nodded in agreement and said, "After all, this is just an online copyright, and 100 million is already a sky-high price."
Everyone nodded.
"Then I have to call the website that made the first quotation first. After all, I have promised them that I will reply to them as soon as possible after I think about it."
Zhang Xingjie nodded with a smile.
to him.
The temptation of 100 million is also very huge, because he is a person who has passed the line of life and death. He was so poor that he almost filed for bankruptcy. The company is long gone now.
It was also after the almost bankruptcy that made him understand the importance of money very deeply.
You can't feel it when you have money, and the pain when you don't have money is something that others can't feel. As the leader of Fanhua Publishing House, he will never allow himself to fall to the bottom again.
Even if the publishing house has enough money now, he will not let go of any opportunity to make money. This is the question asked by the majority of the people, why do rich people keep making money, because these rich people People's money is in the company. Once the company goes wrong, they can't afford it at all, so they can only keep making money.
The real rich, those landowners who rely on real estate to collect rent, don't even have enough time to play, so they still have time to be busy making money?
100 million, pure profit.
Enough for Fanhua Publishing House,
Persist for several years.
soon.
Zhang Xingjie found the phone number of the first Huaxia Reading Network and called back.
"Hello?"
The phone was connected quickly.
Obviously, the person on the other end of the phone has been on the phone the whole time.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Xingjie, the manager of Fanhua Publishing House."
Zhang Xingjie opened his mouth and said.
"Hello."
The person on the other end of the phone kept saying hello.
"Excuse me."
Zhang Xingjie didn't beat around the bush, he just opened his mouth and said, "We have received calls from several reading websites, and they all offered different quotations. Your quotations are very good, but someone offered a higher price, so..."
heard the words.
The person on the other end of the phone was suddenly silent.
"Ledu has set a high price of 100 million yuan, right?"
The voice on the other end of the phone came again.
"Happy to read?"
Zhang Xingjie was taken aback, and said, "It's Shiqi Chinese Website."
"It seems that you are not familiar with the online reading website."
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Shiqi is the name of the company. The names of their online reading website and mobile reading app are both called Ledu, and everyone in the industry calls them Ledu."
"Is that so?"
Zhang Xingjie nodded clearly.
Over the years, he has been busy all day for the publishing house's business, and has no time to learn about online reading, so he doesn't know the rules of these online reading websites at all.
"Is it the price offered by Hou Yicheng?"
On the other end of the phone, there was another questioning voice.
"Sorry, I can't tell."
Zhang Xingjie raised his eyebrows and asked, "However, how did you know?"
Although not directly admitted.
But when he said this, the person on the other end of the phone knew he was right.
Zhang Xingjie also knew very well that since the other party had spoken so directly, he must have received the news early, so although he didn't admit it, he didn't hide it either.
"Can you hear me tell you something?"
Under Zhang Xingjie's inquiry, the person on the other end of the phone did not answer, but opened his mouth to ask.
"What?"
Zhang Xingjie was puzzled.
He didn't know what the other party meant.
Although I just made a phone call out of good intentions to let me know, but the other party was very polite to me. I had already rejected the other party in terms of copyright, and Zhang Xingjie couldn't refuse the other party's small request.
"I want to tell you about the current status of online literature."
said the person on the other end of the phone.
"All right."
When Zhang Xingjie heard it, he thought about it for a while, and felt that he needed to know more about online literature and the sales model of books on the Internet, so he nodded immediately.
"From the previous conversation, you don't know much about the Internet literature industry, so I'll start with the most basic practitioners of Internet literature."
The person on the other end of the phone said something, and then added: "Now the number of practitioners of online literature is very large, with millions or even tens of millions of people."
"so much?"
When Zhang Xingjie heard this, he was immediately shocked.
Millions, even tens of millions of practitioners, what kind of data is this?
It's just scary.
"Yes, in fact, the number of practitioners of online literature is only a lot more than the data I mentioned."
The other party nodded in response, and said: "And, in such a huge base, a large number of people are full-time writers, relying on the Internet to make a living."
"Their income comes from the subscription of genuine readers and the share of rewards given by readers."
The person on the other end of the phone said this, paused for a moment, and continued to add: "In other words, the more subscriptions and rewards, the easier life of these full-time Internet authors will be."
"This model is equivalent to renting books from physical bookstores."
Zhang Xingjie nodded knowingly.
"No."
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said: "The premise of renting a book is that the book has been finished, and the Internet needs to be updated every day, so you will never know that the Internet you are looking at will have the next step." What's the plot going to be."
"Um."
Zhang Xingjie nodded clearly, and asked, "What is your purpose in telling me this?"
"I want to tell you."
The person on the other end of the phone opened his mouth and said: "Now, with the development of online literature, some websites have started to offer free reading books, and they are doing everything they can to attract traffic, but how do these websites make money when the Internet is free? "
"They let readers pay to be ad-free."
"But what does that have to do with the author?"
On the other end of the phone, there was an obvious sigh, and he continued to add: "To put it bluntly, they are capital operations and commercial operations. They attract traffic from all directions, and finally achieve the traffic goals in their minds, allowing their company's The valuation was high, and then they went public to cash out. After this, they made a lot of money, but they cheated all the Internet authors under them. The author, living a tight life with a dream full of hearts, was completely pitted by these capital operations."
"Those Internet authors don't get any money at all, and those big capitalists don't care about the lives of Internet authors for their own purposes!"
heard the words.
Zhang Xingjie was silent.
He knew what the other person meant.
The other party just told himself the origin of the 100 million yuan and the things that will happen in the future, that is to say, if he accepts the 100 million yuan, hundreds of thousands, even tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of Internet scams will be cheated in the future. The authors were all duped by themselves.
"I'm telling you the truth."
Aware of Zhang Xingjie's silence, the person on the other end of the phone continued to speak: "I have spent 50 million to buy the electronic copyright of "The Classic of Weibing", which is already the limit. It’s a loss, but my purpose is also to attract traffic. I hope that I can rely on "The Classics of Weibing" to attract more readers to support the original version, and come to our website to recharge and read books. , You can also read books by other authors."
"This is good for all authors on our site."
Zhang Xingjie frowned.
His face is a little ugly now.
He knew that the other party was persuading him to give up the 100 million and take over his 50 million.
But. The price difference is too big, 100 million has shrunk by half at once, how can Zhang Xingjie accept it?
However, the other party also raised the interests of Internet authors, and directly placed the sale of electronic copyrights on the commanding heights of Tou.
This made it difficult for Zhang Xingjie to refuse.
"You have to know that I took a particularly big risk and offered a quotation of 50 million. The ultimate goal is for the author group of our website, not for our own website, so that online literature can develop in a benign direction. "
The person on the other end of the phone continued to persuade: "One of your actions may make the other party's purpose really come true, and those millions of Internet authors, young people struggling in the steel jungle, It will completely fall into the big pit they designed."
"Ninety percent of these online authors cannot earn manuscript fees, and among the remaining 10 percent, 9 percent can only earn subsistence allowances, let alone the difficulty of supporting themselves. When it comes to raising a family, only one percent of people can make money, and among that one percent, only 0.01 percent of people can make a lot of money.”
"Now, 90% of Internet authors are in a state of insufficient food and clothing. The reason for this is that these capitalists enter the market, engage in these free readings, and use the hard work of these Internet authors. trampled and crushed."
"I'm not for myself, but for these Internet authors, I beg you to make a correct choice. Don't let these people work hard for their dreams, and don't let these lovely people who love this industry die because they have no money to support themselves. Leave, and once they're gone, the business slowly disappears."
