Chapter 444

"That, President Su..."

Lin Mu raised his head and asked cautiously.

"Does this payment model need to be reconsidered?"

"Because I have been taking the free reading route since I was a child, so I am worried... worried..."

Seeing Lin Mu's hesitation, Su Ye immediately understood what he was thinking.

It is also the result of Su Ye's careful consideration to let Xiaodian go online for paid reading in advance.

In this era, all the Internet sites that Su Ye came into contact with had payment models of one kind or another.

Only in terms of culture and entertainment, people have no habit of paying at all.

Whether it is reading novels, listening to music, or watching movies and TV shows, everyone can find countless resources just by searching on the Internet.

If Qixiaodian, an online literature website, is made into a paid reading platform at this time, it will not only affect Qixiaodian itself, but also countless online cultural and entertainment platforms.

Even, if the small payment model is successful, there will be a large number of imitators.

For this result, Su Ye had already considered it in advance.

However, if Long Han's Internet really develops in this direction, then he will be very happy.

After all, knowledge is also a product.

You can't use something for free after others have spent a lot of energy.

This creator put it on someone else, you may think this is in line with Internet sharing habits,

But if the creator is himself, no one wants his hard work to be taken away by others casually.

The experience of the previous life made Su Ye understand that if you want an industry to develop thoroughly, it is not enough to rely on ideals and hard work.

People in this industry must be able to make money.

This is why when a new project appears, the propagandist will not tell you how difficult it is to do this project, what kind of capital, manpower and contacts are needed, but will directly tell you that the rate of return on capital for this project is the same.

When there are enough benefits, those difficulties are not difficult at all.

The prosperity of the world is all for Lilai.

Looking back, the same is true for Xiaodian. If the author who started from Xiaodian can earn 3,000, 5,000, or even more than 10,000 a month, then the author who is engaged in this industry can get enough living allowances.

And more people who are interested in engaging in this industry will also join in for the sake of funding, at least they will try.

Su Ye remembered that before he traveled here, there were some successful Internet writers who could earn tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars a month.

Moreover, this is not an isolated case. Even if more people can't make so much money, they can always make a few thousand or a few hundred a month.

This involves a ranking: full attendance.

As long as your novel reaches the listing standard after signing the contract, you can receive full attendance benefits after it is released.

If Xiaodian can now implement the payment model planned by Su Ye, then full attendance will naturally be an unavoidable problem.

Qingyun Technology has already spent 20 million yuan for the acquisition of Xiaodian. This is a one-time investment. Even if it is a little more, no one will comment on it.

But if the author is provided with a monthly full attendance of several hundred or thousands of yuan after starting small, then there must be media to talk about this matter.

Full attendance is like a basic salary. If everyone pays it every month, even if the number is small at the beginning, it will gradually become huge.

In the beginning, 200,000 a month may be enough, but in the future, 2 million or 20 million a month may not be enough.

More importantly, Lin Mu did see that under Su Ye's payment plan, there was a supplementary agreement for the author.

In addition to providing a monthly full attendance subsidy of 600 yuan to qualified authors, a plan to guarantee the receipt of manuscripts will also be launched.

The minimum 1,000-word starting from 10 yuan, there is no upper limit.

"Mr. Lin, there is no need to worry about this. The grades and quality of Xiaodian are obvious to all."

"Since I am willing to spend 20 million to buy it myself, I will definitely not lose money."

Su Ye looked into Lin Mu's eyes and said seriously.

"For the field of online literature, I am still very fancy and looking forward to it."

"The payment plan this time is also my attempt. Now we all know that some authors on the website have written excellent content and are very popular with readers, but how popular is it? Although we can click, recommend and bookmark Some of these data can be seen, but these data are very incomplete.”

"To put it bluntly, free things, as long as they are not too bad, most people will not say anything bad."

"However, once fees are involved, then you can see the influence and authenticity of an author."

"If a book is on the shelves and starts to be charged according to the word count, then is the time to really test the author and readers."

Listening to Su Ye's words, Lin Mu fell silent.

Not only him, but everyone else present was also thoughtful.

Once you start charging, it will be the real test for authors and readers.

Now Qingyun Technology has many businesses that are free for users to use. Of course, this is related to some ideas of Su Ye who founded Qingyun Technology to break through the encirclement, but it can be seen from the legend of blood.

Legend of Blood is free until the player reaches level 7.

And when the player's level reaches level seven, you need to buy a point card to play the game.

The time to upgrade from level 1 to level 7 is an opportunity to recommend yourself and show yourself to the legendary game, and charging is a test for the game.

Since Legend of Blood can have the confidence and ability to do this, why can't Qi Xiaodian do it.

Don't say that everyone loves to play games, Su Ye also said that everyone loves to read novels.

If you like it, you kind of like it.

Willing to pay for it.

It's like a boy likes a girl. Every day he takes other girls to chat on the road. That girl has to be blind to fall in love with such a boy. At least, you should buy a cup of milk tea too.

"President Su, I understand. Payment is a triple test for the website, for the author, and for the readers. If you can pass it, then the development of small companies will definitely be smooth."

"Now that you propose this plan, it is to confirm the future development path of the website in advance, right?"

"However, the method of full attendance and guarantee that you wrote later is not too expensive for the company."

Lin Mu also wanted to understand the meaning behind Su Ye's promotion of payment.

However, he still doesn't understand full attendance and guarantee.

Today's authors write books online, not because of money at all.

They are purely because of hobbies, interests, and dreams. As a literary youth, although Lin Mu can accept the idea of ​​getting paid after hard work, he always feels that it is not good to provide such a method to the author of the book.

Since ancient times, literati have always had character.

In ancient times, there was a special term called Runbi.

That is to say, now that we have entered the modern society, everyone calls it the manuscript fee.

Su Ye's act of spending money directly may make some people think that Xiaodian is a commercial website.

"It's about making us look more like a commercial literature site."

Su Ye spoke out at the right time.

"Why do you say that? Maybe everyone still can't see it now. They feel that the word "commercial" is like tarnishing writing and literature. In fact, it is not."

"Confucius once encountered something similar to ours today. He had two disciples, one named Zigong and the other named Zilu."

"What about Zigong, because the monarch has an order that if you encounter people from our country who are sold as slaves abroad in the future, if you buy them with money and bring them back to the country, then the country will have funds and award."

"But once Zigong did something like this, but he didn't accept the king's reward."

"On the other hand, another disciple of Confucius, Zilu, when he encountered someone falling into the water, he bravely rescued that person. Later, in order to thank Zilu for saving his life, the person gave him a cow. Zilu felt at ease. accepted."

"Do you understand the meaning of this story? It is to tell us that when you do a reasonable and correct thing, you must not refuse when receiving rewards and rewards."

"It's the same with our young writers. They spend a lot of personal time trying to conceive the plot, and when they input the text into the computer, there will be problems such as neck pain, shoulder pain, and sore fingers. So , shouldn’t such an author get some basic rewards?”

"Of course, what our website gives is indeed the most basic return. The full attendance is only a few hundred yuan a month. It is impossible for anyone to make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life with such a small amount of money, right?"

Everyone laughed.

Yes, if you can get rich with a subsidy of a few hundred dollars a month, then your level of financial management is too high. Will such a person spend so much time to earn such a small amount of money?

"However, although such a small amount of money cannot make people rich, it can make an author who is forced by economic conditions persist."

"Even if the ratio is lower, I think it's worth it."

Lin Mu was silent.

Su Ye was right, as if he had personally experienced the creation of Xiaodian.

In the more than two years since the establishment of Qixiaodian, he has met too many people, but he could not persist for various reasons, and finally gave up writing.

These people gave up for different reasons, some because of busy school schedule, some because of family conflicts, and some unable to upload because of inconvenient conditions.

But most of one reason, Lin Mu knew.

He also talked to many authors who gave up writing, what will you do if you don't write.

The answer is basically finding a place to work.

Having said this, Lin Mu understood in his heart.

Writing is not a very expensive thing, and even among all occupations, writing is considered to be a project with the lowest investment cost.

But life is not all about writing.

At the very least, everyone still needs to go to dinner, get dressed, and some still need to talk about girlfriends, smoke, treat guests, and go out for entertainment.

Even those who have the conditions will travel to other places, provinces and foreign countries, looking for inspiration on the way.

But the world is so big, and the wallet is so small.

In the great dream, we must also make way for the reality.

One penny is to force countless heroes.

Just like what Su Ye said, no matter how much Qingyun Technology puts in and how low the proportion of authors can be retained, as long as one author can be retained, it is worth it.

"Boss Lin, in addition to the full attendance, there is also the guarantee."

"Compared to inclusive benefits such as full attendance, the guarantee is based on the author's level of pricing."

"The guaranteed price starts at 10 yuan per thousand words, but as long as the editor's vision is good enough, you can receive enough popular books."

"By the way, if the speed and quality of the author's updates are very good, then our website will make a lot of money."

"Well, I just said that, you may not understand very well."

"Our ace author, the chicken eats the eagle, I think the book he is updating now and the last one can be settled according to the standard of at least 80 signatures."

"The word count of the previous book was a little over 2 million words. If you draw up a contract later, we will pay the money."

"Not only the chick eats the eagle, but also the other bananas, as well as the little vegetable seller, and the super big fish who wrote urban pure love, all give a corresponding guaranteed price. Pay it all."

"President Su, you are doing this to prepare..."

Before Lin Mu could speak, Wang Yihan understood the meaning of Su Ye's words.

"You mean, we use these well-known ace writers to pay them a guaranteed fee as an example. After launching our payment policy, more readers and authors will have greater confidence in our website ?”

Wang Yihan can almost imagine how excited some writers in China will become when this news, no, it should be said that this shocking news is released.

Writing novels can really make money.

Writing online novels can really make money.

According to an online novel, there must be at least 500,000 words, even if the minimum guaranteed price is 10 yuan per thousand words, it is still 5,000 yuan.

During the creation process, a monthly subsidy of 600 yuan will also be issued.

In other words, if you finish writing this 500,000-word novel in half a year, you can earn at least 8,600 yuan.

Now in Jiangcheng, if Qingyun Technology is excluded, the salary of a normal person going out to work for a month is only about 3,000 yuan.

And if you update a novel on the Internet, you can get an income equivalent to 3 months' salary.

Whether the money is used as living expenses for students or as part-time income for those with families, this amount is really quite a lot.

The point is, the reason why Su Ye gave this guarantee is to launch a payment model.

If a book can be written for such a long time, it is impossible not to earn a penny.

In this way, the final income will far exceed 8600, and it may even be tens of thousands.

"Mr. Su, this, this plan is really great. I think it is very suitable. I will ask Mr. Zhou to help draw up a contract later. Please look over it when the time comes."

"Hey, don't ask me to take a look."

Su Ye looked at Wang Yihan who was sitting beside him, and said casually.

"Mr. Wang, I will leave this matter to you. I am waiting to hear your good news."

Invisibly, Wang Yihan felt that his shoulders were a little heavier.

She nodded positively to Su Ye, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will live up to expectations..."
