Huang Liying received them, but she didn't care about this at all. This was something Li Fang had assigned. How could she be qualified to make a decision?
Therefore, he could only inform Li Fang and ask him to come over to handle the matter and see if he wanted to cooperate with them.
After receiving the news, Li Fang decided to come over and take a look, and called Wang Xiao along the way.
"Mr. Li, it's an honor to meet you..."
A few people didn't have many routines, so they repeated what they just said. Anyway, they had the same idea. Only by working with them can we achieve a win-win situation.
"You may have misunderstood. This new literature website was established by our company itself, so there is no possibility of replacing it."
"I am the boss behind the literary website, and this is the CEO of the literary website, Wang Xiao."
Li Fang also came to introduce himself. He had to admire these people for how hard they worked to find his company.
Several people were a little shocked. This was something they had not expected. Then they quickly contacted people in the company to see what to do next.
The first person in charge first approached Li Fang for negotiation. They were the biggest names in the industry. No matter how the industry changed, they never changed.
"Mr. Li, as we all know, all the famous experts in the industry are in our company. If you cooperate with us, it will definitely increase the popularity of your website."
The person negotiating was a middle-aged woman. Although she was a woman, she was definitely an elite member, otherwise she would not have been sent out.
"Except for a few big names, the rest are popular on your own website, but readers outside won't buy it."
"Moreover, these great masters are now willful. Only old fans are following what they write, and other readers also don't buy it."
Wang Xiao immediately responded. He is an expert in this field, so it is most appropriate for him to negotiate.
Cooperation requires cooperation, but you cannot sign unequal treaties with them. If you want to sell their books to them for money, then you should accept their conditions.
What he said is true. The styles of each website are different. What can be recognized by readers here may not be recognized by other readers.
It's just that as Taishan Beidou exists, they operate very well, which is unmatched by other websites.
"Okay, what you said is true, but we don't lack books that are popular all over the Internet..."
"Okay, it goes without saying. We can cooperate or let your books come to us to make money, but you have to accept our conditions."
Wang Xiao interrupted her directly. Now they were begging for cooperation, so the initiative was naturally in their hands.
"Mr. Wang, tell me."
The middle-aged woman was all ears.
"We are very fair. All profits are split 50-50. As for the exposure given to all books, it will be in accordance with our company's arrangements. You have no right to interfere."
Wang Xiao put forward conditions. Now they have no shortage of authors or books, so they are very confident.
"I can go back and apply to the leadership for these, but if we want to cooperate, you know our library, but I don't know how much royalties you plan to pay."
The middle-aged woman asked, she meant to sell you the books in their library for money, so you have to pay them a copyright fee first.
"I'm sorry, you seem to have made a mistake. It's not that I'm begging for your library now, but that you want to make money from us, so there is no copyright fee."
"I think if your library wants to enter our bookstore, you have to pay us a fee, otherwise it will be free for you to make money, not to make it easy for you."
Wang Xiao put forward greater conditions and took the initiative. He stood upright and spoke differently.
Li Fang didn't speak at the side. Listening to their conversation, it can be said that he became more and more familiar with this industry.
Naturally, he unconditionally agreed to Wang Xiao's conditions. He didn't even understand who was asking for whom, so he came to ask for cooperation. It was just a joke.
"Mr. Li, this is not appropriate."
The middle-aged woman asked Li Fang for help because she seemed to think Wang Xiao was too naughty.
"I think it's quite appropriate. Let's do this. The sharing ratio will be 40% to 60%. Your 40% will be ours and our 60% will be your fee."
Li Fang made a suggestion. He felt that what Wang Xiao said was very reasonable. If he wanted to come to them to make money, he would naturally have to pay an extra fee.
"Mr. Li may not know much about our company. If we cooperate, not only can we make money, but we can also bring you huge traffic. This is a win-win situation."
The middle-aged woman seemed angry. As a party to Taishan Beidou, she was suppressed in negotiations. This has never happened before.
"Then there's no need to be jabbering anymore. It's a 50-50 split between everyone. If you listen to us, you can cooperate. If you don't listen, forget it."
Li Fang directly issued an ultimatum. As for what other benefits they wanted, including getting a royalties, that was something they didn't even have to think about.
The middle-aged woman was so angry that they had always been the ones to take the initiative. It was only they who should say such things. They never thought that one day, someone would dare to say such things to them.
"I can't make the final decision on this matter. I have to go back and apply to the leader, but the possibility of cooperation is unlikely."
The middle-aged woman stood up and left. She was not worried at all, because they had fixed users and never cared about traffic. Relying on these users and building IPs was enough to keep their group standing.
"Li Fang, don't worry about them. Nowadays, major websites basically don't cooperate with them. It's because of their overbearing terms that everyone can't stand it."
"If we don't cooperate with them, we won't be able to live well. They are just too self-righteous, but they don't know that outside of their own websites, they won't be able to enjoy it outside."
Wang Xiao said that he didn't care at all. Their market had over 100 million users, and they only accounted for a fraction of it.
"Then we won't cooperate with them and we will develop well on our own."
Li Fang said that he also didn't care at all.
"They mainly build IPs. We can also take this step. As long as the funds are in place, we can do better than them."
Wang Xiao said that this is also the main path they will take next, otherwise it would be a joke to only rely on authors to make profits for the company.
Next, we received several other people. After communicating with the company, we had no choice but to reach an agreement on cooperation first.
They don't want to make money from authors, but the traffic has been robbed. Next, their strategy must change and they must focus here.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, our company is willing to connect channels with you, and all profits will be divided 50-50."
"Our company also means the same thing, and I hope you can take care of me."
"And we also want to work together and make money together."
Everyone said that they had no choice. Without traffic, they had no choice but to transform and start relying on authors to make money for the company.
"Since you want to cooperate, we can have a good talk. Don't worry, we don't have any overlord clauses. We will split all the profits 50/50 and there will be no operating costs."
"However, we will disclose the proceeds to the public so that every author has the right to know."
Wang Xiao said with a smile that he was trying to prevent some websites from being too deceptive. They obviously made a million dollars, but in the end they only gave the author tens of thousands of dollars.
