Chapter 923 A Way Out for Writing

After leaving Li Shufu with a mess and a head full of questions, Liu Jian flew to Shanghai with several of his women. Ma Huatong had been eagerly awaiting his arrival and chased him almost every day. A few phone calls. [Hand][Play][Bar][[] [Start] There is no way Liu Jian's idea is too big, and there are really many things to do. With Liu Jian as a ready-made master, how could he not do it.

"Brother Ma, why are you so polite? Why did you come to pick up the plane?" Liu Jian hugged Ma Hua after seeing him in pain.

Ma Huatong glanced at the women behind Liu Jian, and couldn't help but sigh at the boss's romantic nature. Wherever he went, there were a lot of beauties around him. What he admired even more was that Liu Jian was able to deal with these women, and none of them seemed to have any conflicts. , live together in peace and harmony.

In fact, this was just the appearance he saw. Most of the women who followed Liu Jian were his playthings. Those women who could really cause conflicts were sent out by Liu Jian early and had their own things to do. If people are busy, they don't even have enough time to sleep. How can they have so much thought for intrigues?

In addition, Fan Junyu is not a jealous woman and tries his best to balance the relationship in the harem, so that Liu Jian can live a carefree life like he does today.

"Mr. Liu, I'm waiting for your golden idea!" Ma Hua said painfully.

Liu Jian chuckled and said, "Let's go back to the company to talk!"

Returning to the headquarters of Liu's Network Group in Pudong, Shanghai, Liu Jian saw the staff coming in and out, and they were really busy. The portal is not that easy to build. It requires a lot of editing and technical personnel. It is really busy to recruit and train new people!

"Tell me, what's going on now?" Liu Jian asked.

Ma Huatong opened the computer in front of him and logged into Liu's Network Group's home page, Perfect Network. Just like the traditional portal, it was all news without any special features. The only difference is that there is a Baidu search bar, Penguin downloader, etc. on the homepage.

Liu Jian frowned and said: "This won't work. It looks like a hodgepodge! In this case, Brother Ma, set the Baidu bar to the left side of the webpage under the picture, and leave the upper right corner to set up a search engine to search the website. Content. We are a portal, we cannot just do news like them. Keywords such as news, sports, shopping, games, dating, reading, entertainment, cars, real estate, etc. are marked in bold at the top of the web page. Each item represents us One click on a section and you’ll be transferred directly to that section!”

Ma Huatong took a pen and wrote it down, saying, "Mr. Liu, what you said are all good words. I must record them carefully!"

"Has that novel website acquired it?" Liu Jian asked.

Ma Huatong nodded and said: "It has been acquired, but that website is just an online novel website. I can't see any profit from it!"

It’s no wonder that Ma Huatong didn’t expect that even four or five years later, no one realized the huge market for online novels. Only after they learned that mobile phones could read novels online did the huge business opportunities contained therein be discovered.

At this time, many people who write novels are just a hobby. Not to mention relying on this to support their families, they can't even earn money to buy cigarettes.

Liu Jian didn't explain it. There were some things that didn't need to be said. They would understand it later when they saw the effect.

"Click here to read, and you will be directly connected to the novel network. This is what I think about the novel network. We must provide a soil for those who like literary creation. As computers continue to become more popular, more and more people will like to read through the Internet. Read a book instead of buying a book or going to the library to read. No need to spend money, no need to get a library card, no need to browse around on the bookshelf, just click on the computer, there are countless novels to read, you said we How many literate netizens will it attract? They may be students now and have little spending power, but five or ten years from now, they will become the protagonists of consumption." Liu Jiandao.

Ma Huatong frowned and said, "Mr. Liu, you mean to give money to the authors of online novels?"

This made him somewhat unacceptable. At this time, various forums and novel websites were everywhere. There were many people who liked to create. Some people just wanted to write out their thoughts so that others could see them. They had not yet thought about using these. money. Even charging for a certain point only started after a few years, when the market had a foundation and those great online authors had enough supporters.

Liu Jiandao: "Yes, that's my idea. Novel websites rely on these authors. They are not only the main force in writing novels, but also the mainstream people who read novels. If we retain them, we will retain readers."

"But these people have virtual identities online. They can write whatever they want, whenever they want. No matter how we pay them, we can't be sure that those authors can bring us benefits!" Ma Hua It hurts.

Liu Jian smiled and said: "I have a preliminary idea about this, and I need you to improve it. All writers who have established an author account must provide their real identity address and bank account number. We screen out the most famous authors. Give them a contract. After signing the contract, the authors must ensure the number of words updated every day and the number of words updated throughout the month. After they meet the standards, we will give them the so-called perfect attendance award. For example, for those who update 3,000 words a day, we will give them 3,000 words per day. One hundred, for those who update six thousand a day, we will give six hundred, and for those who update ten thousand a day, we will give one thousand. In this way, these authors have the basic guarantee of life and have motivation, so they will write hard. Of course, after signing a contract with us , the online copyright of their novels belongs to us, and they cannot publish them on other websites."

Ma Huatong was shocked. He thought that the money Liu Jian gave was just a small amount. He didn't expect that the highest he gave was a thousand yuan. Many people who work now still earn less than a thousand yuan a month. In this era, this is not a small number. .

"Isn't it too much? There are so many authors of online novels. If we just give them this money, it will be an astronomical figure." Ma Huache said.

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "How many are there? You don't know how difficult it is for a person to sit in front of a computer and write every day. It is even more difficult than going to work. There are countless temptations on the computer. When they turn on the computer, they first They must resist the temptation from the Internet, such as games, friends, news, forums, etc. They can only do other things after they finish writing. The most important thing about perfect work is persistence. Keep writing every day. The ideas alone are correct. A big test for an author. You have to take into account the plot before and after, and don’t make any loopholes. Sometimes you even have to read your own book again in order to write a story. It’s hard to earn this kind of money!”

Ma Huatong looked at Liu Jian with some confusion. He didn't know how he had such great feelings. How did he know that in his previous life, Liu Jian not only read books, but also tried to write novels, but he wrote more than 100,000 words. I couldn’t hold on anymore and gave up sadly! Having to keep writing every day is really a big test for the human spirit.

In addition, he heard from time to time on the Internet that one author had diabetes, one author wrote every day and did not exercise, and became sub-healthy, and that one had frozen shoulder due to sitting in front of the computer for a long time. Hearing so much made Liu Jian scared.

In fact, these are just a few of the occupational diseases of online writers. As for writing without a spare time, fading out of the circle of friends and becoming a otaku, that is even more common.

They have paid so much, some even just to earn cigarette money. It is not just for money, many of them are to finish writing their own stories and for the book friends who support them. Only those who have been in this industry can Understand the hardships involved.

Liu Jian felt that such a small amount of money was too little. If the current readership was not large, it would be difficult to make any profit. Liu Jian wished he could increase his attendance to 2,000. The pay and gain are not proportional, which will make many people think this way. , gave up.

"Not only that, we can also recruit professional editors to guide them in writing and make them improve. At the end of the year, bonuses will be given based on the click-through rate. In addition, we will start a recharge system. Although it is not yet time to charge, readers who have the financial ability can also support the author. For example, by giving rewards, urging updates, etc., only by broadening the author's income can there be more and more authors, and they will be more attentive. , write better works!" Liu Jiandao. (
