Chapter 331.1

"Abandoned by the times?"

Silicon Valley, in a new office building.

Jeff Bezos looked at the computer and sighed.

I have to say that what the best-selling writer described is very graphic.

Finally, the death of the paladin even reminded him of a scene in World War II in the history book of middle school.

"Poland's brave knights, waving swords, rushed to Adrian's tank corps without hesitation?"

"There is really a sense of the vicissitudes of the times when veterans wither away!"

Then his assistant knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Bezos, this is the data you want."

After handing the papers to the chairman, he began to report the details.

"At present, in addition to Langdon house, the other five major publishing houses have reduced 40% of the year-on-year increase in the number of physical books with entertainment and popular literature."

"And sales data show that from wangwen.com Since its establishment, the profits of the five major publishing houses have been reduced by 60 percent. "

Bezos took a look at the sales data and nodded slightly.

As he expected, the development of network literature has greatly impacted the publishing industry of physical books of popular literature.

"After all, books are so expensive that most of those who can afford to buy novels for leisure have spare money to buy computers."

"With Stephen King, Neil Gayman and other famous writers' online creation, it will bring a large number of fans to the website."

"Some time ago, the disturbance caused by the best-selling author and the popularity of the film brought more users."

To tell you the truth, Bezos felt a little regret about that time when he devoted all his energy to competing with eBay.

After the money burning war and various subsidies, the two websites are somewhat unsustainable.

But until now, their user volume is still the same.

The only thing Amazon is better than eBay is its own books.

Of course, what Bezos regrets is not that he didn't have Viacom to fight against the best-selling writer.

He just focused on the high profits of textbooks, reference books and other professional books with more rigid demand and wider users.

Bezos took this information? And the documents given to him by his assistant? And made a comparison.

"The development of network literature is too fast, and the cake moved by the best-selling writer is a little too big."

Therefore, the previous incident should be just the beginning.

"After that, traditional media and wangwen.com? There are bound to be more violent conflicts. " Bezos took a sip of coffee and made his own judgment.

"What shall we do? On the side of traditional media? " The assistant paused and asked.

"But that Asian best-selling writer is very popular in Silicon Valley."

"Larry Elson, Mr. Wozniak and others have publicly praised each other."

"Amazon Why should we stand on the side of traditional media and arouse the disgust of our peers? " Bezos looked at his assistant with a caring fool's eye.

"What we need to do is to expand the scale and delay their time and attention by various means when there is a conflict between the two sides."

"During this period, Amazon wants to PR the real power figures of the five major publishing houses? To obtain the online monopoly of reference books."

"If they delay long enough, it is not impossible for them to directly contact famous scholars, experts, etc.? It is not impossible for us to publish these reference books exclusively."

"But why do those people want to abandon publishers with long-term cooperation and give books to us for publication?" Asked the assistant.

"High royalties, of course!" Bezos made a firm answer: "even when users buy books from Amazon, we can subsidize them at a low price."

"Remember? We're Internet companies." He looked at the young man who intended to cultivate. His voice was a little harsh. "Loss is never a big problem, as long as you can get users."

"But wangwen.com There was no loss. " The assistant murmured.

"Well," Bezos said softly, "that website There's something else. "

"Anyway..." He took a look at the novel he had just read and spoke slowly: "bookstores should be abandoned by the times!"

Then Bezos whispered, "there are five other publishers..."

"Wang, if you can resist the attack of large media groups for a long time."

"Well, Amazon doesn't mind acting as a gun and sending these old die hards where they should be."

……

Wang Jian doesn't know that he once met with him. Now the bald man who is engaged in e-commerce has such great ambition.In addition, they also wait for the opportunity to regard themselves as the target of attracting artillery fire.

He is now taking a bus to HBO's office building, ready to discuss "prison break? Transformation" related matters.

"As soon as King Arthur was updated, it set a record of the fastest single chapter revenue of more than $10000 since the establishment of the website."

What does that mean?

That their heat is high, readers are quite buy.

"Then, we have to take this opportunity to launch prison break? Transformation with HBO."

This work is different from the previous feminine prison break and masculine prison break? Special forces.

The main goal is to reduce the number of LGBT population.

Well, plus some people who are very interested in fashion.

"In a word, the subscription prospect of this TV series is not optimistic."

"With this heat, you can pit one by one." Wang Jian said in a low voice.

He is not particularly worried about whether this will consume his reputation.

If the subscription does not meet the taste, many people just do not renew it.

On the premise of being politically correct, speaking out publicly about discrimination against LGBT groups means that this person will die socially.

Soon, the latest Cadillac cross-country, stopped in the HBO office building.

"Very welcome, Mr. Wang." The director of HBO kindly extended his hands.

"Er..." Wang Jian took a look at each other, and his expression was a little surprised.

"Why did you come out to meet him in person?"

"Ha ha, first of all, congratulations on the box office success of the film adapted from your works." The old white man said with a smile.

"Secondly, there must be some space for fashion masters to be alone."

"After all, the two have been whispering and elegant in front of outsiders."

"Er..." Wang Jian looked at the old white man and blinked cunningly.

"It's about sponsorship?" He asked.

"Well." HBO director nodded, "do you know which way will get the highest price in the auction industry?"

"That's blind shooting." He didn't wait for Wang Jian to respond, but he said to himself.

"You never know how many dollars those rich people will spend to get what they love."

"People in the fashion industry seem to have a lot of money."
