Chapter 48

It's eight thirty in the evening.

Matthew came home with heavy steps.

As a lawyer, he is very busy every day.

The only leisure time is just reading novels and brushing the news.

Even when I was in college, my favorite game machine had already been thrown into the storeroom and covered with dust.

Today, as always, while eating takeout, he clicks into the Yahoo website and browses the web.

Suddenly, the advertisement on Yahoo home page attracted his attention.

Fiction?

Website?

Like Amazon?

Matthew make complaints about himself: how do those who build these websites think? In the physical bookstore, you can probably look through the book to see whether it is good or not.

Online bookstore?

What can you see from the introduction and the reviewer's recommendation?

Isn't it a waste of money that a book is so expensive and unappealing?

But I think so, he still click to enter the wangwen.com The website of.

Anyway, just look at the cover of the book.

If the cover arouses your interest, you can go to the physical Bookstore tomorrow, look at the content, and then decide whether to buy it or not.

I will never be on the Internet and buy a novel that I can't turn.

But after entering the website, he looked at the page of the website in surprise.

It's not Amazon's case of putting a book cover, book evaluation, and then clicking buy.

Most of the books on this website can be viewed directly?

So, what makes it profitable?

Does it infringe the copyright of the work?

Matthew had an occupational disease.

He looked at the most conspicuous cover on the website, hesitated for a moment and pointed in.

Title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.

Author: JK Rowling.

Never heard of it.

Matthew shook his head and continued to look down.

The beginning introduces a little boy who is a wizard and adopted by his uncle's family?

He looked away from the computer screen and saw the song of ice and fire on the desk.

Is it another fantasy novel?

What's the matter this year? It's all about magic and witches.

Anyway, no money. Keep looking.

Harry is bullied, and Matthew frowns when he tells himself.

Why, such a heavy taste of "I'm the wizard"?

I won't buy this kind of book in a bookstore.

He continued to look down.

Harry was admitted to the magic school, got on the train and met a man and a woman.

A section of "the gear of fate begins to turn"

Er,

although it's a bit secondary, it's still a little inexplicable.

And then, the fantasy world described in the book seems to be a little interesting.

Weird metamorphosis, mysterious tutor, villain who can't name.

It's just that there are a lot of meaningless scenery descriptions, which account for a large proportion in one chapter.

Matthew shook his head and said to himself, "this book can't be published. It's a waste of paper."

Finally, Harry is going to have a challenge in the magic school.

One victory after another, watching Matthew a little excited.

He's going to compete with the talent of the school. He's looking at the page excitedly.

And then

Please pay?

Shit,

What's this routine?

Matthew didn't want to look, but he was itching.

Forget it,

how much is it?

He clicks the payment button and the page shows $0.05.

Five cents?

Not even a pack of gum.

Matthew paid without thinking about it and continued to look down.

Harry defeated the school genius after a fierce battle.

Next, let's see how surprised the rest of the school is.

Matthew lit his mouse excitedly.

And then

Payment again?

Motherfucker, motherfucker, motherfucker!

Matthew gas almost smashed the mouse, can think about it, or obedient payment.

And, in order not to pop up the payment interface all the time, he bought $5 at once.

So, five dollars, five dollars, five dollars

It's midnight.

After reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, Matthew calculated that he spent 25 dollars?

And, haven't you got a physical book yet?

No way.

You can't just lose money.

Matthew thought about it, and then click to enter the front page. So, two hours later.Matthew looked blankly at the computer screen and murmured, "is this over? What about the back? "

"I can pay."

Such things happen to many people who are used to surfing the Internet.

And this also led to the message under some novels become: write quickly, I can pay

At the moment, Wang Jian, Tom and DUOXI are looking at the data in the background of the website with a happy face.

It's late at night, and the website's traffic is still growing.

And the number of people paying for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone continues to increase.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Jian felt that something had to be solved.

Otherwise, there will be great hidden dangers in the future.

He clapped his hands. When Tom and Rosie looked around, they said, "I think we need to regularize this website."

"You all paid a lot during the founding of the website. I hope we can work together wangwen.com To be bigger and stronger. "

"So, I propose that we three become partners and co founders of the website."

"As for the proportion of shares owned by the website, we can put it forward and discuss it together."

Dorsey said excitedly, "we're at the stage of jobs' underground garage and Dell's grocery store?"

Tom and Wang Jian looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

But some are happy, others are sad.

In Amazon's chairman's office, Bezos looks at it wangwen.com His brows wrinkled tightly.

Although he thinks this website has potential all the time, he doesn't worry much about it.

Because the book authorization of major publishing houses is in their own hands.

But this small website, only some writers who have been rejected will publish their works on it.

If you think about it, the overall quality of these rejected works is certainly lower than that of published works.

So, in the book market, which is dominated by content, the other side can't beat its own Amazon.

But who would have thought that the young Asian had a unique way.

The content of the novel will be sold separately, and a certain amount of free content can be read before charging.

This will directly erase the inconvenience of online book purchasing.

Even more convenient than physical bookstores.

Because physical books can't be bought chapter by chapter, and they're still as cheap as five cents.

But because of the copyright of books, he can't learn from each other.

Bezos unconsciously clicks on the mouse, from the wangwen.com Jump out and enter a new website.

He looked carefully.

This is a shopping website mainly for individual sellers, eBay.

Bezos stared at the screen for a long time and finally laughed.

"It's just a book sale. How big a market can there be?"

"It's a good thing to be ambitious."
