Li Fang found Wang Xiao in a small restaurant near the school. After not seeing him for a few days, he saw that he was really decadent. His face was covered with beard and he had not shaved, and his hair was not taken care of. He didn't know who he thought he was.
tramp.
"Wang Xiao, what happened?"
Li Fang asked. Li Fang didn't know what happened yet. He only knew that he had helped him at the last party.
"Oh, don't mention it. Let's have a few drinks with me first."
Wang Xiao said that they used to drink beer, but now they drink liquor.
Drinking beer is about youth and passion, drinking liquor is about stories.
Li Fang didn't say anything. He drank a small glass of wine with him first, and then opened the topic.
Wang Xiao began to talk, talking about his experiences in the past few years, and then talked about his powerful mother-in-law.
"The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. I had originally planned to buy a house, but who knew that housing prices suddenly skyrocketed, from the original four to five thousand one square meter to more than ten thousand per square meter."
"Nowadays, people are not allowed to get married if they don't have a house. How old is this? There is still such a requirement."
Wang Xiao looked depressed. He and his girlfriend had been running away for several years and were about to get married, but there were no conditions for marriage.
Li Fang was a little embarrassed because he seemed to be the one driving the housing prices.
Because his jasper green vegetables have boosted the county's economy, they have also led to an increase in housing prices.
However, when you get married, you need a house and a car. Isn’t this the basic requirement of this era? It seems that it is not outdated.
"Wang Xiao, if you quit your job, just quit. How about this? You can come over and help me from now on. I will arrange a job for you. I guarantee it will be much better than your previous job."
Li Fang said, his only best friend must be taken care of no matter what.
"Li Fang, I know you have the skills now, but I don't want to work anymore. I want to start my own business. If you really want to help me, then you can invest in the capital and I can invest in the technology, and each of us will hold half of the shares."
Wang Xiao said that at his age, if he doesn’t work hard, he won’t be able to fight anymore.
Naturally, Li Fang strongly supported it. He asked: "What line of work do you plan to do?"
"I want to build a cultural website company, focusing on online novels. Now is a once-in-a-century opportunity. As long as I can seize it, I am guaranteed to get a share of the pie."
As Wang Xiao said, his eyes shone, and he immediately became energetic when he talked about his thoughts.
Li Fang understood. Wang Xiao had been a fan of novels when he was in high school. Later, he tried to write online novels on his own, but he seemed to be unable to pass the signing process and was rejected by major cultural novel websites.
"I have also published many online novels over the years. From the beginning I was unable to sign a contract, but now I can get a guarantee of 20 yuan for 1,000 words, which is 20 yuan for 1,000 words. Unfortunately, I have never had any results. I can't write much, so I am dismissed.
The website has been mercilessly deleted.”
Wang Xiao talked about his hard work as a part-timer in the past few years. From the beginning he earned a few hundred yuan for full attendance, to now he can earn three to four thousand yuan a month. The hard work he put in is unimaginable to ordinary people.
He also said that some people make tens of millions from one book to become a god.
It is also said that some people’s hard work has paid off. They wrote millions of words with zero income, and finally broke out and have been out of control ever since.
It is also said that some people spent their own money to scan various data to make the website think that his book is very popular, and then began to vigorously expose and recommend it, and finally made a fortune.
Finally, he said that 90% of people can't bear to quit the Internet literary circle. This industry is really not that good. Without talent and courage to persevere, there is no way to make money.
"Wang Xiao, this industry doesn't seem to have great potential. The entire industry's annual profits are only a few tens of billions. If we all share a share, it would be quite good if we can get several billions out of it."
Li Fang said that after deducting the operating costs, the final benefit is really not that much.
"That's enough. I can make 100 million in income a year, and I'm satisfied. The most important thing is that this is my hobby."
"If I were to establish a website, the first reform would be to not cut down the article, not force the author to finish the work, and to guarantee the bottom line after the article is finished, so as to give the author a profit."
Wang Xiao said that in his line of work, it is normal for eunuchs to be unfinished. Everyone writes novels to make money, and website operations are also to make money. But if a book cannot generate income, both parties will choose to give up.
If there is no guarantee, the author will not choose to give up, because the guarantee is equivalent to the website paying salary in advance. Unless the website cuts off the article, the author will definitely keep writing.
Li Fang is not very clear about this industry, but as long as Wang Xiao wants to do it, he can support it.
"Wang Xiao, since you want to start a business, I will naturally support it. How much is the initial investment?"
Li Fang asked. He is now burdened by too many debts. He already owes tens of billions, and he still cares about owing more.
"I plan to build two websites at the same time, one is mainly free, and the main source of income is advertising, plus monthly membership."
"Another website charges a fee, and all online articles can be updated three days earlier than the free ones. Such high-quality novels will definitely attract many readers to pay."
"It will definitely cost money to attract traffic in the early stage, and you will have to spend money to attract traffic in the future. If you want to do it, do it big. I want to invest 500 million in the early stage."
Wang Xiao said that investing 500 million in this industry is already quite scary.
An ordinary small website can set up a website with a few million, and then attract a large number of novices to write novels with Quanqin. If a popular book is published, the website will make money.
"Five billion."
Li Fang was a little embarrassed, thinking that if Wang Xiao really dared to do it, he would invest 500 million from the beginning.
"In addition to attracting traffic and burning money, we also have to recruit a large number of authors in the early stage, especially a few well-known authors to attract popularity. These authors must have a guarantee of at least three to five hundred words per thousand words, which is something I can't even dream of.
price.”
"In addition, we will recruit a group of middle-level writers and give them around 100 for a signature. The rest are new Internet writers and give them a guaranteed price of 20 to 30."
"Our website owner produces high-quality products and provides guarantees to the authors, so the authors must also ensure the quality of the articles. This is the most basic mutual respect."
Wang Xiao is very interested. According to what he said, the monthly fee paid by the website to the author must be at least 10 million.
The situation in this industry is that the masters make a lot of money, and the newbies can't even make cigarette money.
According to what Wang Xiao said, if the great master signs the price of three to five hundred, he can get three to five hundred for one thousand words. If he writes ten thousand words a day, it will be three to five thousand that day.
They became famous because the novels they wrote before became famous, so combined with the income from the previous novels, they can earn hundreds of thousands a month.
As for newcomers, they may not meet the signing threshold. Even if they do, many will only get a few hundred yuan for perfect attendance.
Wang Xiao directly increased the guarantee to 20 yuan, which is already very good. At least 10,000 words a day will earn 200 yuan. Although he will not make a fortune, he will not be hungry either.
"Li Fang, your writing skills are quite good. Why don't you write a novel? The website is now owned by us. When the time comes, we will vigorously expose it and recommend it. It will definitely become popular."
Wang Xiao sent out the invitation, and he wanted to write a book on a whim, and then he would recommend it to the public.
