The interview was needless to say, and it also took a little time to sign the contract.
After about an hour, it was all done.
Yang Song counted the people with good literary talent. Among the eighty-three people, forty-five of them had good literary talent. The highest was Li Bao. Without exception, they all signed ten-year contracts.
Of the other thirty-seven people, a few had some talent in management, and a few had some talent in analysis.
It just so happened that the new website still needed an editorial team and a logistics team. Therefore, Yang Song signed them by the way.
Finally, regarding those who had no talent, some of them with plain appearance was politely persuaded to leave, while some with handsome appearance, beautiful features, and honest-looking faces, were invited by Yang Song to work for the company.
The beautiful ladies would work at the front desk of the company, administration, customer service, sweeping, cleaning, and other things.
As for the boys, they could do heavy tasks.
Anyway, after several hours of arrangement, Yang Song had arranged all departments of the company properly, and the prototype of a brand-new online novel company had been officially completed.
"Go back and sort it out. Starting from tomorrow, you will officially come to work. When that time comes, you will get familiar with the novels and styles of the major websites, and write an analysis for this old man. Then, this old man will find another time to train everyone, and then start writing."
Quickly, this group of people who participated in the interview left one after another. When they walked outside the office building gate, they all felt a trance. Today's interview was really strange.
"We passed the interview just like that?"
"Huh, do you think we are dreaming? I didn't expect that this company was actually run by Elder Yang of the Yang Family."
"From then on, will it be more convenient for us to buy Great Energy Pills? They can be eaten in the company."
"This is the truth, after we get familiar with him, we can buy it via him!"
"Today is really our lucky day!"
Although these people didn't know each other, they couldn't help but get together and chat with excitement.
But before leaving the company, he took out his mobile phone, took a few photos, and recorded a few videos.
Since it was going to be a literary website right away, it was not easy to do without promotion.
Taking advantage of his current high level of popularity, he proceeded to promote the website.
"Today, my eldest son started an online novel website, which he planned to name it "Grassynovel.com. I came to help him today and found that the venue is good and the environment is quite good."
"The current online novels are all old styles. This old man often reads novels, but recently, I found out that those old-style novels have become more and more boring to read. There is only "Battle Through the Paradise" which is not bad. But unfortunately, the website does not even contact and sign the contract with such an excellent novel."
"This old man is a little overwhelmed. If the author of Battle Through the Paradise sees this old man's post, you can transfer your novel to this old man's son's website. I believe that you will be treated fairly."
This was a post made by Yang Song, with a few photos of the company's internal environment.
At the same time, he also deliberately photographed the logo of 'Grassy Novel'.
In this way, as soon as the website opened, there would be a lot of traffic influx.
The reason for mentioning "Battle Through the Paradise" was also simple.
At that time, Yang Haodong would transfer his novel to the new website, coupled with his own publicity today, this was very good news material: A new type of online novel writer, was called by the Yang Family's patriarch, to abandon the current website and go to his son's online novel website.
After sending out that post, Yang Song posted a video on the UU platform as usual.
"Grassy Novel recruits a large number of online writers. As long as you have hobbies in this area, you can join in. At the same time, this website will hold training courses for online writers."
"Today, this old man happened to interview a few people, and I was very satisfied with them. This old man believes that soon, their names will sweep the whole online literature industry and subvert the current way of thinking and write the best masterpieces."
After he posted the video on UU, Yang Song stuffed the phone into his trouser pocket.
In the past few days, Yang Song had gained popularity every day at a very fast rate. His fans on the BIB platform had reached 180,000, and his UU platform fans had reached 250,000, making him a well-known internet celebrity.
As soon as his posts came out, in an instant, many netizens had heated discussions.
"Elder Yang has started his own business again?"
"The novel written by Elder Yang must be interesting; I am looking forward to it!"
"Elder Yang, I recommend you to read a novel called "Middle-aged Soldier", which is definitely more interesting than martial arts novels."
"Cultivating online novel writers? Haha, don't be funny... Elder Yang, it's not that I look down on you. It's still possible to use your family secrets to create Great Energy Pills. But in literature, what you pay attention to is talented people. A talented person can write a book casually, and it will be popular all over the internet. Like the ancient literary masters, their names will last for a long time. If you have no talent, even if a person throws a novel in front of you and lets you plagiarize it, you may not be able to do it."
"What the person above said is not wrong. Elder Yang is beginning to go wild unconsciously. Writing novels is not something that anyone can do. But you still want to subvert the current trend and create the best masterpieces? Although the older you are, the thicker your skin will be, but your skin is thickest, in my opinion."
"Grassy Novel? I think the novels there will be as garbage as grass! It will end before it even starts!"
On the Internet, in addition to supporting netizens, there were also a lot of keyboard warriors and trolls.
Among them, the darkest one was undoubtedly Yang Song's current rival, the official account of Wu Pharmaceutical.
"Sigh, why are people these days so shameless? You dare to say that the current novels are clichés? You don't like to read them? Did anyone beg you to read them? Self-satisfaction! Do you know how hard it is to work as an online novelist? Online novelists have to go to bed late and get up early just to write their chapters, but you said the current novels are too boring to read."
"I see that in order to promote your own website, you really dare to say anything! In our opinion, even if the author of Battle Through the Paradise does not sign a contract with Runningnovel, as long as the author is not blind, he won't go to your side with that smart mind of his at all!"
This incident soon spread to the entire network of online novel writers. Obviously, Wu Pharmaceutical was looking for someone to operate it. Coupled with the fanfare of a group of people, Yang Song's account was faintly besieged for a while.
"As far as I know, Elder Yang has never written a novel, right? He said he wants to open a training course for online literature writers? How funny!"
"Sorry, I'm an online novel writer. I think the martial arts genre is the best. As for clichés? Hehe, if you don't write about picking up treasures in caves, escaping from calamities, and villains talking nonsense before killing, are you sure people will read your novel?"
"Elder Yang obviously doesn't understand a single thing about novels, but he still wants to teach people to write novels?"
"Don't worry, that Grassy Novel or whatever website, even if you give me money, I won't read it. As long as I read a word on that website, I will eat eight catties of cow dungs!"
Soon after Wu Pharmaceutical's post was released, there was a current blogger and writers' association leader who also jumped out and sent out a long post directly on the BIB, bringing the heat to the highest level.

In a luxurious villa in Martial City, Liu Fei was full of contempt.
As a well-known hot-selling online writer, he had always been very arrogant.

What he liked most on weekdays was to quarrel with people on the internet.
Because he was a literary person, he was good at eloquence.
Every time he quarreled, he would get a lot of people's approval. Therefore, he would win the quarrel every time.
This allowed his fans to break through more than five million, and they were still growing.
