Chapter 443: Fighting in the ring, crazy laning!
Many people who originally loved reading novels couldn't help but have an idea at this time: Can I make money by writing about my inner world?
I don't ask for a thousand dollars per thousand words, but if I can get ten dollars per thousand words or fifty dollars per thousand words, I'll be satisfied!"
Driven by this idea, the most direct effect was that a lot of newbies flocked to the website.
The QH numbers of Lin Wei and several other girls were full of friend slots, so for the time being they could only reserve a few more QH numbers on the website as backup.
Of course, the influx of new users is a good thing, but compared to that, the website's daily expenses will definitely continue to increase in the future.
After all, at present, only one Xiuxian Notes on the entire website has not yet made a profit.
Making money for the website.
For all other novels, every word created by the author is purely subsidized by the website.
Tang Yichen simply doesn't care about this little bit of money.
Although doing so would definitely be discovered in the future, even though Tang Yichen started his business at a young age, he also used his family's money and made endless investments to gain success.
However, family background itself is also a kind of strength. If I have the strength but don’t use it, do I really have to suffer so much and go out to solicit investment, and then exchange shares for money?
Isn't this nonsense?
……
"You bastard! You're even saying our website is charging inflated prices. How could I be someone who can't afford it?"
In Hong Kong, the boss of Jianghua Publishing House, whose website had just been launched and who had already directly thrown out millions of advertising contracts, was still very angry in the middle of the night.
The main reason is that there are now a lot of soft articles on the Xiongchen Forum.
They are all kinds of attacks.
He was very familiar with this method, after all, he worked in a publishing house.
He also knew that it was made from the takeoff area.
But it was useless for him to know.
Soft articles must be cracked!
However, it is impossible to prove his innocence and release the data now because his website has just been opened!
There are no serial writers at all.
Although he has a library, many of his books were actually downloaded from the Qifei Literature Network using technical software.
In other words, he was doing pirated work.
However, he was very smart and only dealt with completed works, that is, those not written by serial writers, but the novel libraries and the like that Tang Yichen created when he first started the website.
There are also many storytelling sessions and the like.
It can be considered as a passive act of being fleeced.
Well, as for the copyright fee, he definitely didn't pay it.
Of course, this also makes him a target for attack now.
But at this point, he pretended not to see it.
Just do it. What can you do? Let those mainland publishing houses sue me for copyright infringement. I don’t make any profit. What can you do to me?
It's not even because he wants to compete with Tang Yichen. If he really wants to be shameless, he can even completely copy the content of Tang Yichen's website.
Of course, this approach deviates from his original intention.
He wants to cultivate a market for published works and form a situation where his own publishing house is connected online and offline, rather than really wanting to be a gray pirate and collect advertising fees, which would eventually lead to prosecution.
Right now, he wants to prove his innocence and also issue a guarantee.
After all, the author hasn't serialized the book yet, so where would the data come from to be sent out?
Of course, it needs to be revised before it can be published.
Because he also knew that Qifei Literature Network had raised its prices, and that it was higher than his own.
This is tolerable.
He can even publish it at 1,000 yuan for a thousand words. As long as someone has the ability of the author of the Immortal Cultivation Notes, he can even publish it at 1,200 yuan for a thousand words. This is something that will not be a loss at all!
So, the next day, his subordinates issued a soft announcement according to his wishes.
The welfare benefits and manuscript fees of their website were raised again, surpassing Feiqi's, and they also directly called out to Daoxuzi.
They claimed that if Daoxuzi would consider publishing his next book on their website, they would directly pay him a fee of 1,200 yuan per thousand words.
This is a blatant robbery.
It can also be considered as riding on the popularity. After all, Daoxuzi's popularity in the Xiongchen Forum has completely risen after one night.
Tang Yichen was speechless about this.
Dig yourself, what are you thinking?
"Boss, shall we proceed?"
It was a little after nine in the morning, just a few minutes after Jiang Hua made the announcement, when Lin Wei called.
"Ok!"
Tang Yichen didn't say much, just nodded.
A few minutes later.
There is a new top banner on the homepage of Qifei Literature Network.
At the same time, there was an additional post in the Xiongchen Forum.
Qifei Literature Network, the 99 New Year Essay Call, anyone who chooses to publish a book between today and May 1st will automatically participate in the 99 New Year Essay Call competition.
For this event, the evaluation basis is recommendation votes.
In this event, the first place winner will receive a cash reward of 500,000 yuan, an opportunity to sign a physical copyright contract, and a great writer badge.
The second place winner will receive a cash reward of RMB 300,000 and a physical copyright signing machine.
The third place winner will receive a cash award of RMB 100,000 and the opportunity to sign a physical copyright contract.
The fourth to tenth place winners will receive a cash reward of RMB 10,000.
Note: "Recommendation tickets, a single account, is obtained by reading frequently. For every accumulated hour of reading, one recommendation ticket is obtained!
Tang Yichen's literature website did not keep up with Jiang Hua's price adjustment this time.
Price wars, which only involve continuously raising prices, are the most foolish practice.
Just like when Yanglai competed with KFC, Yanglai used the strategy of membership plus lottery to fight.
But now, Tang Yichen is the same old thing in a new bottle.
Fight in the name of competition.
Once the money is spent, the war can be fought.
Of course, Tang Yichen guessed that Jiang Hua would shamelessly steal this event.
But so what, does it matter?
It doesn’t matter, even if some people are really attracted to this.
Think about the price he paid for his articles, the money he has to pay for this event, the previous advertising fees, and the money for setting up and maintaining the website.
This is how much has been invested.
What's more, this money is not a one-time payment.
The subsidy for royalties must continue.
After the 99 New Year Essay Competition is over, Tang Yichen can also organize a summer essay competition.
Even various classified essay writing activities.
The outcome of a price war will not be decided in one day.
This is a consuming process.
It's like competing in internal strength. Even if he has a large output of internal strength for a while, what can he do?
On Tang Yichen's side, the precedent of a million-dollar manuscript fee has already appeared, the website's good reputation for distributing manuscript fees has been established, and the manuscript fee has been raised to a level that satisfies everyone.
Even if Jiang Hua says the upper limit is a little higher, what difference does it make?
He has no real examples and the website has just been launched.
The constant onslaught of soft articles online has caused everyone to worry about whether Jiang Hua’s website can continue to operate in this state for a long time.
In this case, we can only say that the degree to which both sides can attract authors in the online literature industry is about the same.
Well, Old Tang's literary website still has a slight advantage, at an eight-two position. Next is consumption.
It all depends on who has more funds and can continue to provide subsidies. And on this point, Tang Yichen has unparalleled confidence.
Nonsense, Jiang Hua is not from Solos, why should he challenge me!
