ps: Depressed and warned by Harmony.
On the morning of April 8, Li Youran, Li Wei and others came to the Creation Company.
Li Youran swept his eyes and looked at the employees of the Creation Company. There were not many people, and the office conditions were very general. This is generally the case with startups, though.
meeting room.
As soon as Li Youran and Li Wei sat down, Li Youran unceremoniously said to Bao Jianfeng and the others straight to the point: "Chuangshi also launched a VIP charging plan, which is really surprising. This shows that your business philosophy is very correct. However, there are If the starting point company is there, your company will not be able to continue. Now there is only one choice in front of you, which is to be acquired!"
Bao Jianfeng and the others all changed their expressions.
Sure enough, the comers are not good!
The company was acquired just after its establishment, and everyone was naturally unwilling. Several founders looked at each other and shook their heads secretly. According to the previous discussion, Bao Jianfeng said: "I'm sorry, Miss Li, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish!"
Li Youran's beautiful eyes flashed with displeasure, and she frowned: "So, you are going to refuse?! You must know that Qidian company is very strong, and it is rushing to monopolize the online market. You can join Qidian. Enter a higher platform! On the contrary, if you compete with it, the results can be imagined! Do you think that your website can still compete with the starting point noon website??”
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was unconvinced, and a young senior management couldn't help but said: "It's not that there are no powerful foreign companies entering the Chinese Internet market, but they all failed. Although the starting point has strong financial resources, we also have our advantages. Because we understand the Chinese network, we are confident to make the website bigger and stronger! Now that the two websites are online at the same time, it is still unknown who will die in the end!”
The reason why this young executive dared to say this is because many venture capital firms have come to the door recently to invest in Chuangshi.
The reason is very simple, both Genesis and Starting Point have launched VIP charging plans.
The starting point was created by Chronos·li's daughter, and it is inevitable that Chronos·li will give advice.
Genesis immediately caught the attention of venture capital firms due to the same operating methods as the starting point.
Who will kill the deer? Li Youran couldn't help but laugh.
Seriously, she really didn't think Genesis would be a competitor to the starting point. If it weren't for the fact that the Genesis website also launched a VIP charging plan, Li Youran felt that the company's team was okay, then she would never look down on a small start-up company.
Li Youran also knew that many venture capital companies wanted to invest in Chuangshi recently, but if Chuangshi thought that it would be able to compete with the starting point with the venture capital, it would be ridiculous.
"Okay, then let's wait and see!" Li Youran stood up indifferently and said goodbye.
…
However, as soon as Li Youran and the others left, news of her going to the Genesis Company spread, especially in the venture capital world, causing a huge sensation.
"Chronos·li's daughter is going to acquire Chuangshi. It seems that our previous investment decision was right. Now there must be many venture capital companies wanting to invest in Chuangshi. We must speed up!"
"Yes, I heard that the market value of Chuangshi Company has been fired to 25 million yuan!"
"Fuck, these people are too crazy!"
"Hey, who called Chuangshi Company a hot commodity!"
…
The launch of the website VIP charging plan has attracted many authors, and the more authors, the more readers, which naturally increases the website traffic. Genesis has been favored by many venture capitalists because of this, and other websites cannot help but envy it.
On April 10, Genesis Company received a total investment of RMB 10 million from Shanda Corporation, Goldman Sachs Group and Sequoia Capital, and sold 35% of the shares.
When the news came out, it caused a huge shock in the industry.
Immediately after that, a large number of websites successively launched VIP charging plans.
The Internet age in China and the world has entered a new stage.
After the Genesis Company received 10 million investment, it immediately purchased servers and broadband, and at the same time advertised online and offline. For a time, the number of website visits increased sharply.
However, a month later, the number of visits to the Genesis website no longer increased, but even decreased.
At this time, most networks have launched VIP charging plans, and many venture capital companies have invested in them, which has led to the loss of the advantages of Genesis.
What's more, most web writers have jumped to the starting point after the competition.
The Qidian website itself has the best works and network writers. In addition, Qidian website cooperates with QQ to turn countless QQ users into readers of the Qidian website. This leads to an amazing number of visits to the Qidian website, which is a few of the creation websites. ten times. The income of online writers is linked to readers. The more people who read books, the more income they will naturally earn. It is conceivable that online writers are willing to sign contracts with Qidian.
The more excellent web writers gather on one website, the easier it is to produce excellent works, which can attract a large number of readers.
At this moment, three divine books appeared on the Qidian website, one is "The Journey of Misty", the other is "Legend of Little Soldiers", and the last one is "Zhu Xian" written by Li Zetian many years ago. "Zhu Xian" was published as a physical book back then, and it was very popular. Now it's on the website, and many people read it.
These three books can be said to be extremely popular, with a scary high click rate. They are widely rumored to be the "Three Odd Books on the Internet", attracting countless readers!
Many people are even more surprised that "Zhu Xian" was written by Li Zetian.
Among the three books, "Zhu Xian" has the most people who read it and the most comments.
In order to attract readers, "Zhu Xian" is completely free.
As for "Mischievous Journey" and "Legend of Little Soldiers", they are all free, but they have both signed a buyout agreement by the starting point website, 1000 words / 500 yuan. After the content of this contract came out, it caused a huge sensation in the circle of online writers at that time.
You must know that the income of online writers at that time was pitiful, and the vast majority of online writers did not have any income.
A buyout contract of 1,000 words/500 yuan is really shocking. This means that writing 2 million words a year and earning over one million a year is unimaginable for many people!
Internet writers are all envious of the author of "The Journey of the Netherworld" and "Legend of the Soldier", and they are also eager to get this buyout contract. It is impossible for other websites to provide, only the starting point. This is naturally one of the reasons why online writers have jumped jobs.
At present, Qidian Chinese website has become the undisputed website hegemon in China. As long as readers like to read it, they will not be unaware of Qidian website. The Chinese website of the starting point at this moment is stronger than Longkong at its peak!
All other websites suffered serious losses and were unable to make ends meet. In particular, Chuangshi saw a sharp drop in the number of online writers and readers. The previous advertising promotion was almost a waste, and the company’s valuation suddenly dropped to less than 5 million RMB. Today, Chuangshi is burning money every day. I am afraid that it will not take long for the funds in the account to be used up. If no new investors are found, Chuangshi may face bankruptcy.
