Chapter 5 Tianchan Steals Potatoes

Zhao Ruonan and Du Bin are a pair of wonderful flowers.

In junior high school, Zhao Ruonan, a tough young man, has become a fearsome girl in his class. He fights with boys every day, including Du Bin.

At the third day of the junior year, Zhao Ruonan did not know what was going on all of a sudden and fell in love with Du Bin.

One afternoon, she plucked up her courage and said to Du Bin, "Don't leave school today, wait for me on the playground...."

After school, Zhao Ruonan changed his skirt in the toilet and came to the playground with a pot of paper cranes folded by himself.

But what she saw was

Du Bin stood on the playground with half a brick in his hand, and behind him was Fang Yan with an iron bar

After this incident, Zhao Ruonan once suspected that there was an improper relationship between Fang and Du.

Lao Zhao regarded Fang Yan as a third party, and Fang Yan was not a submissive person. Since then, when they met, they had a tit for tat

In fact, Fang Yan was wronged. After all, Du Bin said to his opponent Yan that day, 'Someone is going to hit me! Do you help... '

Can you blame Fang Yan, who values emotion and righteousness?

Later, under Ashi's mediation, Fang Yan and Zhao Ruonan shook hands and made peace.

However, Du Bin still has no feelings for Zhao Ruonan. In recent years, with the growth of age, Lao Zhao has become increasingly dangerous.

Looking at Du Bin's disgruntled face now, who would have thought that he would experience the despair of losing my love forever because of the death of Lao Zhao many years later.

Life is so magical.

......

At five o'clock in the morning, Du Bin, who had washed his bowl all day during the day, fell asleep on the sofa, drooling all over his chest.

On the other side, Zhao Ruonan squatted on the sofa, eating shrimp strips and drinking cola, watching this year's new play "Pink Girl", and occasionally reached out on Du Bin's T-shirt to wipe the crumbs of shrimp strips on his hands.

Fang Yan, who had slept all afternoon, was also not sleepy. "Infernal Affairs 2" was playing on the computer. He sighed that even Yu Wenle, who had the highest appearance, had to avoid the edge.

'Cough'

Fang Yan was startled by the sudden sound of coughing near his ear. After being confused, he realized that someone in QQ had added his friend.

Click the mouse to pop up a friend application called 'Baojianfeng'.

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly passed the other party's application.

'Hello, are you Tianchan, the author of Fighting Against the Sky, stealing potatoes?'

The information sent by the other party almost confirmed Fang Yan's guess, but Fang Yan made a further exploration: 'Mr. Lin has worked overtime all night till now?'

After this message, the other party was silent for a while, and seemed surprised.

'Do we know each other? May I ask who you are? ' A minute later, the message arrived again.

Fang Yan and this Baojianfeng netizen do not intersect, but it does not prevent Fang Yan from knowing the big guy.

Almost all of the online dramas produced by Fangyan's media company in the past came from some industry giants, so I heard many anecdotes about their group's initial entrepreneurship in the process of cooperation with each other.

Therefore, Fang Yan not only knows the names of their founders, but also their online names.

'I joined the Mysterious Literature Association before.' Fang Yan's reply was vague.

In November 2001, Bao Jianfeng and five other writers who love fantasy creation launched the Mysterious Literature Association.

This is the predecessor of the future famous Enlightening Chinese website.

In May 2002, the Mysterious Literature Association established a personal website of literary nature, and the enlightenment was officially launched.

Like many start-ups, the early operation of Enlightment is like a small workshop.

All the six founders have formal jobs. Entrepreneurship is like part-time work. Several people who rely only on network communication often work together late at night.

I have to say that every successful enterprise starts with a group of young people with dreams.

But the practical difficulties in entrepreneurship cannot be solved only by ideals.

At this time, the enlightenment did not produce any output, and even had to be posted upside down.

More than 10000 website servers are shared by several people. Bao Jianfeng, who works in the vehicle management office, has a monthly salary of only five or six hundred yuan, and can't make ends meet.

And he, who is responsible for soliciting authors at the enlightenment, has keenly felt that the author resources are drying up, naturally because of the public consensus that "Internet=free", there is no return, and the authors can only rely on enthusiasm to generate electricity for love for how long.

Today, Bao Jianfeng took advantage of Saturday's rest and worked overtime all night. When he saw the new book "Fighting to Break the Sky", which had just been uploaded, he immediately contacted the author.

'Divorce is a good starting point, and serious writing is likely to become a fire book.'

As a pioneer in the industry, Bao Jianfeng understands that the online Chinese pen is not the most important. As long as the story is smooth, the narrative is clear, and a good sense of expectation is created, there is a possibility of fire.

But drawing big cakes doesn't work. He is more concerned about the actual interests. 'How much is it now?'

But the other party's reply completely extinguished Fang Yan's idea of making money by copying books.

'Well, we are discussing the possibility of giving corresponding remuneration to authors internally, but at present No money '

Fang Yan was disappointed when he heard this. He did not know that the fee system for the enlightenment would not be implemented until October this year.

Bao Jianfeng can understand the disappointment of Tianchan's words when he learned that there was no manuscript fee for stealing potatoes.

In order to pay authors, there must be revenue. In fact, Bao Jianfeng and other partners have summarized several options to increase revenue.

1、 Advertising mode. However, mainstream people still don't believe in Internet advertising, and they can't get much money from website advertising. Even Xinlang, Souhu and other portal websites are struggling.

2、 Copyright Agent. Sell the copyright of online novels to publishers and work as a middleman to earn price difference. However, several founders feel that such income is unstable, and they turn to publishing society to deviate from the Internet, which may kill online literature, which is inconsistent with their original intention.

3、 Sell e-books. There are some people doing e-book business on the Bay Island. Each e-book costs one yuan or two yuan, but it is good in the Bay Island. Once entering the mainland market, the business is poor, and few people buy it.

None of these ways is feasible at first sight, and the website traffic is increasing and cannot be realized, but the expenditure keeps rising. Bao Jianfeng has the idea of mortgaging his home property to continue to support the website.

In fact, in addition to the above three ways, Bao Jianfeng and others also discussed such a method: serial novels are changed into single chapter sales, and the author writes one chapter and publishes one chapter, charging readers directly and selling them as they write.

But when Bao Jianfeng said this idea to others, everyone looked at him like a fool.

No wonder others are surprised. After all, under the free atmosphere of the whole network, the courage to charge users is no less than suicide.

Bao Jianfeng didn't believe in evil, so he made a questionnaire while chatting with Tianchan to steal potatoes.

Unexpectedly, the other side was very supportive of the payment system, and reminded that the price should not be too high.

When talking about speculation with the other party, Bao Jianfeng slowly drifted away, and there was no lack of confusion about the survival of the website and worries about the future of the website.

But Tianchan stole potatoes with more confidence than he did. He said a lot of high-end words in the chat, such as "pan entertainment strategy" and "cultural industry closed-loop"

'Video portal+literary creation+film and television IP adaptation+game adaptation+hardware reading'

The scene described by Tianchan stealing potatoes is very exciting. Bao Jianfeng even thinks that this time it is like a seedling to enlighten the Chinese website. Maybe one day it will be true.

Looking down on this era from the perspective of God, Fang Yan naturally knows the future of many people. At this time, Bao Jianfeng is just an idealistic but confused young man, no different from those sleepy migrant workers you meet on the bus and subway in the morning.

Although Fang Yan's plan to earn some money failed, he still felt satisfied to experience the tide of the times.

And got to know a future tycoon.

The next morning, they walked out of the Internet cafe with oily hair and smoke.

Before parting, Fang Yan watched Zhao Ruonan swing his skirt slightly in the morning wind. He always felt a bit strange, but he didn't know where to start.

After all night, Fang Yan's head was very confused. He shook his head and left the matter behind for the time being.
