Chapter 885 Tomato.com Is Established

Fang Minghua suddenly became interested and wanted to meet Zheng Hongbo, so he asked on the phone: "Can I meet him and talk to him?"

"Of course, let's do this. I'll call him immediately and we'll come to the resort early tomorrow morning to meet you and Director Zhao."

"No need to go to such trouble. I will go back to the city tomorrow morning. After I book the hotel, I will send you the detailed address and ask you to come to my place to talk." Fang Minghua replied.

"OK!"

The next morning, Fang Minghua and Zhao Hongjun packed their bags after breakfast. The driver had already picked them up at the resort and returned to the city together.

Fang Minghua still stayed at the Jinmao Grand Hyatt Hotel. After checking in, he sent Dai Jiali a text message telling him the specific room number.

"Okay, Minghua, you have a rest now, I want to go home, and you can talk slowly in the afternoon." On the side, Zhao Hongjun said with a cigar in his mouth.

"Don't you see that Zheng Hongbo?" Fang Minghua asked.

"I disappeared. I stayed outside for more than a week. I have to go back to spend time with Liu Xue and the child."

"Okay, you can go back."

At noon, Fang Minghua finished dinner alone in the hotel and took a nap. At three o'clock, he heard a knock on the door. He went over to open the door and saw Dai Jiali standing at the door, with a thin young man with long hair next to him. Wearing glasses and carrying a backpack.

"Teacher Fang, he is Zheng Hongbo." Dai Jiali introduced.

"Hello, Teacher Fang." Zheng Hongbo also stood up.

"Come in." Fang Minghua greeted.

Zheng Hongbo followed Dai Jiali in and sat on the sofa looking a little reserved.

Fang Minghua got up and was about to pour tea, but Dai Jiali stopped him: "Teacher Fang, I'll pour it."

Fang Minghua was not polite, so he sat on the sofa and looked at Zheng Hongbo.

I saw that the other party was wearing a Baleno T-shirt, Nike sneakers on his feet, and a very fashionable Omega watch on his wrist.

Looking at this outfit, he doesn't look like a poor writer or coder.

Of course this thought passed by in a flash.

Dai Jiali finished making tea and sat on the side of the sofa. Fang Minghua then said: "Xiao Zheng, I want to ask, five of your team stayed at Shanda. Why did you agree to come? Is it the salary or something else that attracted you?"

"Mr. Dai gave me a very high salary, which is higher than if I stayed at Shanda. This is certainly attractive, but it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is." First: She promised me to serve as the deputy general manager of Shengshi Literature and form a new company. I am fully responsible for the literary website, which I couldn’t do if I stayed at Qidian. After all, we are a team of six people, and I am not the main person in charge. "

Having said this, Zheng Hongbo smiled: "I must make some achievements, otherwise I will go back and inherit his industry according to my father's arrangements."

At this time, Dai Jiali added: "Xiao Zheng's father is a well-known business owner in Zhejiang Province."

Ix-on:#￥%……

This is a rich second generation.

No wonder he is wearing a famous brand!

Zheng Hongbo continued:

"Second point, Mr. Dai promised that in the next five years, Shengshi Literature will invest no less than 200 million in the new website. Now the Internet literary world is in an age of racing for land. Only high investment can ensure the continued expansion of the website. "

Fang Minghua said, "Where are you going to invest these 200 million?"

“In addition to website construction and daily operation, there are two most important points: high remuneration and high benefits attract excellent editors and online article writers, especially the latter. Only with excellent authors can we produce excellent online articles and attract readers. See, so I think content must be king on a web-based website, and everything else should revolve around this center!”

"Is this also the consensus of your Qidian team?" Fang Minghua asked.

"Yes." Zheng Hongbo did not deny it: "So I am going to recruit some excellent editors and online writers."

"Do you have a goal?" Fang Minghua suddenly became interested.

"Yes!" Zheng Hongbo took out a piece of information from his backpack and handed it to Fang Minghua: "Take a look."

Fang Minghua took it and took a look:

Editor: Xie Yue, Blood Rewards. Authors of online articles: Xue Hong, The Third Young Master of the Tang Family, Xiao Ding, The Wandering Toad

Damn it.

These are all ancient gods.

And these editors seem to be the central figures of major online writing websites in the future.

"I have no objection to this." Fang Minghua returned the information to Zheng Hongbo and added: "After the new website is established, don't forget to cultivate your own online writers."

"Don't worry, I will do it."

"I also told Hong Bo that we are not allowed to poach editors and authors from under the banyan tree." Dai Jiali interjected with a hint of joking in his tone.

"I don't know how to do this." Zheng Hongbo was very serious: "The new website has a different positioning from Under the Banyan Tree. It is aimed at fantasy websites such as Fantasy Sword and Qidian, rather than the literary and youthful websites like Under the Banyan Tree. Literature naturally has different requirements for authors and editors.”

Fang Minghua nodded after hearing this and said to Zheng Hongbo, "Keep talking."

"Third, I also told Mr. Dai that I will not consider whether the website is profitable within three years."

"Don't you want to implement the VIP charging system like Qidian? Can't you make a profit by charging?" Fang Minghua asked deliberately.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"VIP charging system, this is a method that the six of us came up with after careful research. We think that this is what literary websites, especially fantasy websites, must do. This is also the best business model to ensure the profitability of the website. However, the VIP charging system cannot guarantee the immediate profitability of the website at the beginning. I need three years of buffer time." Zheng Hongbo replied.

"Tell me about your VIP charging mechanism." Fang Minghua asked.

"It's very simple. First, you have to become a VIP. You can become a VIP user by recharging 50 yuan to the website at one time. 30 yuan of it is used to purchase VIP qualifications, and the other 20 yuan is converted into "starting point coins" as a pre-deposited reading fee. The fee is 2 cents per thousand words." Zheng Hongbo explained.

"Is it that simple?" Fang Minghua frowned slightly.

"Yes, it is what the six of us discussed, and I am also going to implement it on Shengshi's new website." Zheng Hongbo spoke concisely.

"How about you improve this payment system?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"I want to do this. The payment system is divided into primary, intermediate and advanced users. Different users have different charging standards per thousand words. The higher the level, the lower the charge. As for the user level, it is determined by the amount of your recharge. From the primary level to a certain level, it is intermediate and advanced."

"In addition, we can adopt a reader reward system, half of the reward fee goes to the author and half to the website."

Monthly ticket system, incentive full attendance system, guaranteed system, buyout system, publishing system.

Fang Minghua brought out all the mature mechanisms of the later Qidian website, which stunned Zheng Hongbo.

Fuck

It's actually played like this?

Why worry about three years of losses?

One year is enough!

"Of course, these suggestions and opinions of mine are only for your reference. They should be implemented according to the development of the website and cannot be copied mechanically." Fang Minghua reminded at last.

"I understand, Mr. Fang, your words have opened our eyes. I am more confident to make the website better!" Zhao Hongbo said excitedly.

"Do a good job, Mr. Dai, Mr. Zhao, and I all support you!" Fang Minghua said, smiling and patting Zhao Hongbo on the shoulder.

After saying what they needed to say, Dai Jiali and Zheng Hongjun were about to leave. Before leaving, Zheng Hongjun suddenly said, "Teacher Fang, Mr. Dai said that you were the one who named Under the Banyan Tree. Can you name the new website?"

"Sure." Fang Minghua pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it Tomato Chinese Website. Tomato means tomatoes, which is down-to-earth."

Tomato?

Zheng Hongbo thought the name was weird and not as domineering as Huanjian and Qidian, but since Fang Minghua had said it, it was not easy to object, so he nodded and agreed.

When the two left, Fang Minghua smiled.

In the future, Tomato is the only website that can compete with Qidian, so of course it has to be changed from free to paid.
