Chapter 1912： Indoctrination

The three of Li Fan arrived at the president's office. After the two parties greeted each other, they set aside a long line for a while, and then they talked about business. .

Liang Yuan said: "Boss, you want to launch a new website. What is the main purpose of this website?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Specially used for serializing novels."

Liang Yuan and Gu Wei glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts, "Sure enough."

After that, Liang Yuan said: “Is the boss’s next new type of work planned to be serialized on the Internet? But didn’t the boss always serialize it on Weibo before? This time, why do we have to launch a website to serialize? Up?"

Li Fandao: "Previously serializing on Weibo was just my attempt. I want to try the possibility of serializing novels on the Internet and the acceptance level of the book fans. Now the experiment has produced results, and the book fans are very happy to accept it. , I also felt the benefits of reading novels on the Internet. Then, it’s time to implement the next step. After all, using Weibo as a serialization carrier is not a long-term solution."

"Implement the next plan?" Liang Yuan and Gu Wei had all thoughts.

Gu Wei said: "The next step the boss said is to launch a website dedicated to serializing novels, and then serializing the boss's works on this website?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "Exactly."

Liang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Boss, there is no problem with launching a website to serialize novels. It's just that there is some waste of resources? Also, it doesn't seem to make much sense to launch a website to serialize novels. ."

Li Fan smiled slightly and Liang Yuan would say this. He was not surprised. In fact, everyone who heard that he wanted to launch a website to serialize novels would think so.

If he only serializes his own novels, it may indeed be a waste of resources, but Li Fan’s purpose of launching the website is not just to serialize his own works.

He said: "President, editor-in-chief, the reason why I want to launch such a website is not just to serialize my personal works, but to provide such a platform. In the future, there will be other authors on our platform. Upload, serialize his own work."

"So that's the case." Liang Yuan and Gu Wei are both active-minded people. When Li Fan said this, they understood.

However, they still have many things they don't understand.

Liang Yuan added: "Boss, as a platform, this idea is excellent. It's just for serializing novels on the Internet, and the author does not get the manuscript fee. If there is no manuscript fee, there will really be authors who choose to serialize novels on our platform. Is it? After all, most of the authors’ income from their creations is only the contribution fee."

Li Fan smiled and said: "I used to serialize novels on Weibo, and indeed all of them are free, but this does not mean that serializing novels on the Internet is free. After our website is officially launched, the serialized novels are There is a fee. If you want to read it, you need to pay to read it. Of course, there will be a certain number of words in the front of each novel, for the fans to read for free, and you need to pay for reading after a certain number of words.

Book fans can choose whether to continue to pay for reading according to the number of free words in the front. The fees paid by book fans for reading books will be divided by our website and the authors according to a certain ratio. In this way, not only will the website gain revenue, but authors will also receive contribution fees. Of course, this is not to say that as long as the work is serialized on our website, there will be manuscript fee income. It also depends on the quality of the work. If the quality of the work is not good and no book fans are willing to pay for reading, then the author will naturally have no manuscript fee income. "

"Book fans need to pay to read?" The amount of information in Li Fan's passage is a bit large, Liang Yuan and Gu Wei need to digest it.

Li Fan didn't bother them, but let them think slowly.

After a while, Liang Yuan said: “Readers should pay for reading, just like readers now need to pay for newspapers and magazines that publish serial novels. The key issue is the cost that readers need to pay when reading books. How much is it? If there are too many, readers will definitely not want to pay for reading. If there are too few, the profit of the website and the author cannot be guaranteed."

Li Fan glanced at Liang Yuan approvingly. This is indeed the crux of the problem, and said: "The president is right. This is indeed the crux of the problem. For us, this is very important. It's just this problem. You don’t need to discuss it now, you can stay in the discussion later."

Liang Yuan nodded. It is indeed a bit early to discuss this issue. After thinking about it, he said: "Boss, how many authors do you think will serialize works on our platform?"

Li Fandao: "There may not be many in the early stage, but with the continuous development of the website, the number of authors will certainly not be small, hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions are all possible."

Li Fan's remarks are not an exaggeration. There are far more people in this world than in the previous life. With the emergence of online literature, the number of online novel authors will naturally be more than in the previous life.

Of course, although there are a large number of online authors, only a few can make money. For most online authors, there is no return for their efforts.

This is something that makes people helpless.

"Hundreds of thousands? Several million? Tens of millions? So many?" Liang Yuan and Gu Wei were shocked. Will there be so many authors serializing works on their platforms?

To be honest, they didn't believe it, but Li Fan said this, and they had to believe it.

They knew that Li Fan's insight and vision were far beyond their comparability. Since Li Fan said this, it must be the case.

After a few sighs, Gu Wei said, "By the way, boss, what is the name of our website platform?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Starting Point Huawen."

"Starting point?" Liang Yuan and Gu Wei nodded, serializing novels in Net Mountain, and now it is really just the starting point, and the name is indeed perfect.

After that, Liang Yuan and Gu Wei asked some more questions, and Li Fan answered them all.

Finally, a few people left the office of the president. The former network management department and the magazine had several professional website writers with strong technical skills. Li Fan did not need to find someone to make a website outside.

When he arrived at the Network Management Department, Gu Wei explained the situation to several website writers. After several people learned that they were going to write a website for the boss, they all looked very excited, excited, and very nervous.

This is so if the website you write doesn't meet the boss's requirements, how can they have the courage to stay in the magazine?

Li Fan smiled, so that a few people don't need to be nervous, and then explain to a few people how to design the website, what functions are needed, and so on.

Several people listened attentively, not daring to be distracted.
