Chapter 1359 No Vision

Feng Yu often reads novels on the Internet at this time, and most of the online novels at this time are still free.

Since last year, Yuandian has created the VIP paid reading mode for the first time, and Feng Yu is also one of the first batch of paying readers. However, there are too few good books at this time, and it cannot be said that they are completely bad, but compared to Feng Yu, an old-fashioned reader who has read them for so many years in his previous life, there are not many that he likes, but it is not completely absent.

At least Feng Yu's comments in some comment areas have guided the final direction of the work several times. Now Feng Yu's account "Central Plains Sixth White" is also rated as a gold medal storyteller by many Internet authors and readers.

What do current literature websites mainly rely on to make money? After gaining popularity on the Internet, and then publishing physical books to make money, the main publishing market is the traditional Chinese market in Baodao, facing the entire Southeast Asia, it is still very prosperous. Moreover, the cost of online literature is lower than that of physical book authors in Taiwan, which reduces the cost of those publishing houses, so they are very willing to buy copyright publishing from here.

As for simplified Chinese, it is very difficult. The important thing is that there are still a lot of piracy rampant, which makes it very difficult to sell simplified Chinese copyrights. Sometimes it is obvious that a publishing house is interested, but it turns out that it is already on the market. Or I contacted the publishing house, and the other party saw it, you can read it online for free, why should we publish it?

Then there are some advertisements, which are regarded as the profits of the website, and have nothing to do with the author.

But since the paid model, everything has changed. This method not only greatly stimulated the birth of more Internet writers, but more importantly, it made many publishing houses interested in copyright in simplified Chinese. If you can’t read the later ones for free, then someone should buy the book, or someone Will choose to rent books to read.

In the past, the book rental market was dominated by martial arts novels and comics, but now it is different. Some novel novels have appeared on the Internet, which caters to people's tastes.

Feng Yu knows very well that Huaxia's online novels in his previous life have already gone out of Asia and into the world. Of course, it is also a small number of representative works, but at least in Chinese circles, this online novel is very popular, with hundreds of millions of readers. Especially after the development of mobile phone reading software, the number of readers has skyrocketed, and the number of paying users has also skyrocketed.

But now, it doesn't seem to make much money, not only the authors don't make much money, but the companies that run literary websites don't make much money either.

But in the future, too many film and television dramas in China will be adapted from online literature, as well as online games, mobile games, comics, animation, etc. This is a very huge industry.

Wang Zhongjun can't see it, and this is normal, after all, Wang Zhongjun doesn't work on the Internet, Feng Yu thinks, Zhang Chaoyang and the others can always see it, right?

...

"Ah? You're not interested?" Feng Yu looked at Wang Zhixi in surprise.

"Mr. Feng, how much money can this payment model make, and how much does it cost to maintain a website? Moreover, soon after the update, various pirated versions appeared. How many readers actually pay? This industry will soon be given to pirated copies. It is yellowed. If you look at foreign countries, there is no such thing.”

Feng Yu rolled his eyes, what is this called, does it mean that foreign ones must be good? Foreign countries' network construction is better than China's, but it doesn't mean that their derivatives on the network must be better than China's. Let’s just say that this Chinese website has developed so well in China, and it’s only beginning to imitate abroad.

"But what if piracy can be suppressed through technical means?"

"This is not easy. In fact, there are quite a few serialized novels on our blog. They are all similar to essays and are of little value."

"Okay, then I'll ask someone else."

...

"Mr. Feng, this website that invests in online novels has no future, right? Although our website also does some copyright operations, the operations are all video copyrights, which are completely different from novels. But since you said this has a future, then Shall I invest a little personally?" Zhang Chaoyang said with some embarrassment.

"Well, I won't embarrass you, I'll ask someone else."

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng. When our website is needed for publicity, this will definitely be no problem, and we will give the industry the lowest price."

...

After listening to Feng Yu's words, Ding Lei also found it difficult. At least for the time being, he can't see the possibility of great prosperity in this industry. If you say you can make money, it is possible, but if you say you can make a lot of money, that would be an exaggeration, right?

He, Zhang Chaoyang and the others decided to wait and see for the time being. Anyway, the value of those online novel websites is not high. If they really have potential, there is still time to invest, or they can build an online novel website by themselves.

Li Yanhong was also very hesitant after hearing Feng Yu's words. Now they have a lot of novels serialized in Qiandu's post bar, and they don't see any money. The payment model requires certain skills. What's so difficult about those sites, there is a server for storage, just make some links, it is easy to be imitated, how can you make money?

Although Huaxia has paid a lot of attention to copyright protection, it is difficult to grasp things on the Internet, and people are not for profit, so it is not easy to define responsibility.

Yep, another rejection.

I asked Ma Yun, and Ma Yun said that Alibaba is too busy here, and he has no time to care about any online novels, and besides, he has no time to read them.

Shi Dazhu is a little interested, but he doesn't think it will be as prosperous as Feng Yu said. He thinks Feng Yu is too optimistic. The return on investment will not be too high. If Feng Yu needs to attract more shareholders, he is willing to join.

Feng Yuxuan didn't die of anger, co-author Shi Dazhu thought he was going to operate it and go public to make money.

The last question is Ma Huateng. In his previous life, this person has occupied more than half of China's online literature. He must be interested, right? And combined with oQ, it can also have better publicity channels.

Ma Huateng told Feng Yu that he didn't have the energy either. The oQ space that the company has created now has taken up most of the company's funds and technical personnel. This online novel looks good to him, but he has no plans to invest in it in the near future. Maybe in two years, you can think about it.

The implication is to wait and see first. Anyway, their company has a huge number of users, and even if they do it themselves, they can develop.

After making a fuss, no company was interested.

Feng Yu directly picked up the phone and called Sun Lijie: "Old Sun, go and investigate the website called Yuandian Chinese to see if they want to invest."

Without saying a word, Sun Lijie immediately arranged for someone to investigate, and at the same time he also checked the website himself.

A website that publishes online novels, this...is worth investing in?

But since Mr. Feng said it, let's try it. Mr. Feng has such a good vision. He is optimistic about the industry, and he never misses it. Maybe this site can really make money.

...

I recommend a book, Fat Dafu's "Xiangjiang Dynasty", which is very interesting. Book lovers who like Xiangjiang entertainment should not miss it (to be continued.)
