After two or three months of preparation, more than ten novel websites, including Qidian English Fiction Website (International Version), Qidian Chinese Fiction Website, Qidian French Fiction Website, Qidian Korean Fiction Website, and Qidian Japanese Fiction Website, have been developed.
Li Youran decided that April Fool's Day, April 1, 2000, will be officially launched.
During this period, Li Youran sent people to buy the electronic copyright of the best-selling book as much as possible and recruit more authors.
China, Shanghai, Fantasy Literature Association.
Bao Jianfeng walked in from outside the house, looked at everyone, shook his head and sighed: "It's really unfortunate, the name 'Starting Point' has already been registered. It seems that we have to think of a new name."
"Damn, why are we so tragic? It's so tragic to take a company name."
"The Fantasy Literature Association is about to officially transform into a company, but it was frustrated in the first step. Could this be a bad sign?"
There was a lot of discussion.
Bao Jianfeng said loudly: "Don't think too much about it, it's normal for the name to be registered, we just need to change the company name."
"Brother Feng, what do you want to change your name to?"
Bao Jianfeng thought about it and said, "How about the name Chuangshi?"
A member of the Fantasy Literature Association said excitedly: "Damn it, the name 'Chuangshi' is very cool, it's very similar to the style of our Fantasy Literature Association!"
"Chuangshi is a good name, I think it's fine!" Another member of the Fantasy Literature Association said loudly
"I think so too!"
Everyone agreed, and Bao Jianfeng said: "Well, since everyone agrees with the name 'Chuangshi', then we immediately go to register..."
"Oh, by the way, Jiangnan Warrior, how is the website you developed now?" Bao Jianfeng looked at a young man with glasses and then asked.
"It has been completed, you can go online at any time!" Jiangnan Warrior said confidently. He is a master of technology, and the big fiction website of the Fantasy Literature Association is basically developed under his leadership.
Bao Jianfeng nodded happily, "That's good, then we set the website launch time on April Fool's Day on April 1."
"no problem!"
Soon, the online time of the novel website created by Bao Jianfeng and others was confirmed, but they did not know that on April 1, the Qidian novel website will be launched globally simultaneously! ! !
…
…
Time passed by day by day, and it was April 1st in a blink of an eye.
Bao Jianfeng and others were very excited. The Creation Company was registered, and the Creation Novel website will be officially launched on this day. They have a small ambition to make Creation Novel the No. 1 Chinese novel website in the world!
Bao Jianfeng held a company mobilization meeting the day before the website was launched.
"Most book sites such as Cuiwei, Tian_ying, Huanjian, and Longkong have tried to publish in simplified form, but most of them have ended in failure. In addition, those bookkeepers who claimed to be 'if you publish a book, I will definitely buy it' during serialization They have disappeared without a trace, orders are few, and Simplified Publishing has been in a state of half-dead, making the website’s plan to make money through publishing basically failed.”
"In February of this year, ReadWrite.com released a statement that 'to promote the development of original literature, this website plans to pay authors for publications on the Internet, and original works are welcome to join'. Once launched, it caused a great sensation in the industry at the time, but so far, the scale of ReadWrite.com has not developed. This has led to many novel websites such as Longkong, Huanjianshumeng, Cuiwei, and Tian_ying. Take a look."
Bao Jianfeng paused for a moment, and his eyes were full of light: "However, I think the business model of ReadWrite.com is the real way out for online novel websites. It's just that ReadWrite.com is too eager for quick success and short-sighted, and the fees are collected too quickly. , there is no accumulation of free chapters at all, and the foundation is too poor; secondly, and most importantly, the exploitation of authors by ReadWrite.com is too great!"
"ReadWrite.com pays its authors a monthly fee of RMB 0.06 per person based on the number of regular members of ReadWrite.com. That is to say, every month, one member reads your book, no matter how many words they read. , it's 6 cents a person."
Bao Jianfeng shook his head and said, "Although the low remuneration brings huge profits to the website, it is also a fatal blow to the enthusiasm of the authors. What we need to do on the Genesis Fiction website is to correct the shortcomings of ReadWrite.com. I believe that, As long as you change it a little, set up free chapters with dozens or hundreds of chapters, and then start charging. Secondly, our website accounts for one-third of the fees, and the remaining two-thirds are reserved for the author. As a result, Chuangshi Fiction Website will definitely develop rapidly, attracting countless authors to join, and making Chuangshi Fiction Website the largest novel website in China!!!”
The mobilization meeting of Chuangshi Company was very successful. Everyone was very excited and believed that Chuangshi Novel Website would be a success.
Uh uh, "It's no coincidence", the starting point website created by Li Youran did the same.
On April 1st, the Qidian novel website and the Genesis novel website were launched at almost the same time, and both websites announced the VIP charging plan on the homepage.
It's surprising how similar they are.
Who exactly copied who
All the employees of the Creation Novel website were caught off guard and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother Feng, I did some research and found that the Qidian website is too awesome, and it is not an ordinary company at all. Did you know that Qidian website has branches in almost all countries in the world! In China, Qidian Chinese novel website, in Europe and the United States and other countries It is basically the starting point English novel website, also called the starting point international novel website. There are also starting point Japanese novel website and starting point Korean novel website in Japan and South Korea respectively…”
The more Bao Jianfeng listened, the more shocked his heart became, and he couldn't help asking: "What is the origin of this company, and it is so awesome?!"
The young employee who investigated the data replied with a wry smile: "The founder of this company is the daughter of the world's richest man, Chronos Li..."
Hearing this, Bao Jianfeng was stunned and shocked: "It turned out to be his daughter!!!"
At this time, Bao Jianfeng couldn't help but feel a huge pressure pouring into his heart, the pressure was like an unattainable mountain.
"Brother Feng, according to my inquiries from some authors who have been signed by Qidian, this VIP charging plan was determined as early as January this year, which is earlier than the charging plan launched by ReadWrite in February!"
"Alas, as the saying goes, dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix! Chronos·li's daughter is not easy!" Bao Jianfeng exclaimed.
"Yeah, Brother Feng. However, it is said that although Chronos Li's daughter is talented, her appearance is what attracts the most attention. I heard that she is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is a wealthy businessman in Suzhou with billions of assets. My son was fascinated by her, and in order to get her, he did not hesitate to use all his martial arts to rob someone, but he happened to be stopped by the police."
Hearing this, Bao Jianfeng couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his face full of astonishment, as if he was listening to a novel. Bao Jianfeng couldn't help but asked, "The son of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou wants to rob Chronos Li's daughter?"
"Hehe, of course I don't know her true identity. If I knew, he wouldn't dare to give the rich businessman's son ten more courage. I heard that because of this incident, the rich businessman was tricked by his son, and the company seemed to be People are targeting and suppressing, I am afraid that it will not take long before this wealthy businessman in Suzhou will go bankrupt!"
At this moment, the Jiangnan Warrior hurried into Bao Jianfeng's office and said loudly: "Brother Feng, Chronos Li's daughter is surprised to see that our website has also launched a VIP charging plan. She wants to talk to you. …”
The young employee who was talking to Bao Jianfeng was stunned for a moment and joked, "Brother Feng, wouldn't she be interested in your... talent?"
