Chapter 875 The End Chinese Network Buys Out the Work
At noon, Pei Qian and He An went to Mr. Li’s Mingfu family for lunch.
The reason why I didn’t go to the nameless restaurant was mainly because I didn’t make an appointment and couldn’t eat it.
However, every weekend, Pei Qian reserved the largest private room in the Unknown Restaurant for banquets, and he could still treat He An to another meal.
He An knew that Mr. Pei was busy with work, so he was going back to rest at noon, so the two agreed to have another meal at the Wuming Restaurant on the weekend, and then say goodbye to each other.
He An obviously still has a strong curiosity about how the game "Mission and Choice" will be successful, but seeing Mr. Pei's confident and tight-tongued look, he knew that he couldn't ask, so he had to suppress his curiosity and continue to wait for the day when the game was released.
After dinner, Pei Qian looked at his watch and it was less than 3 o'clock.
It's Friday afternoon, and I still have time to arrange another department.
Tomorrow weekend, except for a very small number of departments that require rotational breaks, such as counter-wind logistics, other departments will have to go on holidays, so the arrangements of other departments will have to wait until Monday.
"Which department should I arrange?"
"Well... the end point Chinese website is relatively close, so let's arrange it first."
Pei Qian originally wanted to go to Jingji Hostel, but Jingji Hostel was far away from the city center, so it was a bit troublesome to go there. Pei Qian didn't want to make a lot of trouble, so he decided to go there again on Monday.
Today I will arrange the ending Chinese website.
The Final Chinese website is on the upper floor of Tengda Games. Although Pei Qian usually only takes two more elevators to get there, he hasn't been to the Final Chinese website for a long time.
Because there is nothing good to look at.
Although the Final Chinese website also makes money, it does not make much money compared to other industries, and it is very stable and will not have a sudden surge in income.
Pei Qian always felt that the department of the Final Chinese Network was not next to each other, and it was a waste of money that was "a pity for eating without taste, and it was a pity for discarding it", so he completely let it go aside a few months ago and did not ask about it.
But this morning, seeing that the revenue data of the Final Chinese website have steadily increased, Pei Qian was vigilant again and felt that he could not let go of this anymore.
It just happened that I had freed up my hands now and I could make some arrangements.
Pei Qian came to the Final Chinese website and first glanced at everyone's working status.
Well, that's OK, at least better than Tenda Games.
When we went to the Tenda Game Department before, the group of people stared at the screen with all their concentration, either typing the keyboard with both hands, or frowning, thinking hard, and looking at it, they were all working with all their concentration.
But on the Final Chinese website, everyone's working state has been much more relaxed. Some people are reading novels with their mobile phones, while others are aimlessly looking through various data on the website. In short, it is a very relaxed state.
Although there is no obvious sign of fishing, it is obviously much better than the working status of the Tengda Games Department, which makes Pei Qian feel very pleased.
Zhu Xing'an, the current editor-in-chief of the Chinese website of the end point, saw Mr. Pei, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Mr. Pei, why are you here?"
Zhu Xing'an was a little surprised because Mr. Pei had not been to the Final Chinese Network for a whole year to inspect the work, and he did not give any guidance to the Final Chinese Network.
Many colleagues thought that Mr. Pei had forgotten the end point Chinese website.
But now that Mr. Pei is here, it means that Mr. Pei has not forgotten the ending Chinese website!
This made Zhu Xingan quite happy.
Pei Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, come and take a look by the way, where are the horses?"
Zhu Xing'an said: "In the office."
Pei Qian nodded, came to Ma Yiqun's office, and knocked on the door lightly.
Ma Yiqun was also very surprised when he saw that it was Mr. Pei who arrived: "Mr. Pei, why are you here? Please sit down quickly."
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa in the office.
Ma Yiqun poured a cup of tea: "Mr. Pei, come here specifically today. Is there any work to arrange?"
Pei Qian said leisurely while drinking tea: "I just remember that I haven't been here for a while, so I'll take a look. What's the current situation of the website? Is that study class still going on?"
Ma Yiqun answered truthfully: "The current situation of the website is very good, with steady revenue growth, especially the number of authors has been increasing."
"There are a number of popular books on the website, and the subscription results of these top books have been steadily improving. In addition, we share more money to authors than other websites, so it is becoming more and more popular with authors."
"And, our website never has any default or no reason to deduct manuscript fees. The data is open and transparent, which is also a major advantage for us."
"Many authors have come to our website to open books and try their best, and our website has a better reputation in the circle!"
"The online author training class is still in progress, and the effect is significant. Now the list of training classes is no longer voluntary registration, because everyone has to participate, and the quota is not enough. We can only choose among new authors who have achieved certain results. In principle, those who have been here in the previous issue cannot come again in the next issue."
"But even so, the authors are still rushing, and readers are clamoring to send the authors they follow to study classes to close the small dark room and update them carefully."
"Whether it is a slow typing, uninspired or insufficient writing skills, the authors will make obvious progress and improvement after further study in the study class! Once such an atmosphere is formed, coupled with the old and new model, the study class has cultivated a group of excellent authors for the website, and the novel content of the entire website will naturally become more and more rich and more exciting."
Pei Qian drank tea and became more and more melancholy as he heard it.
It sounds like the situation is very bad!
Obviously, the Endpoint Chinese website has entered a virtuous cycle, the author's income continues to increase, the writing enthusiasm has been fully stimulated, and the writing skills have also improved with the help of other authors. At the same time, as there are more and more good works, readers' stickiness to the website is also increasing.
If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Although the market share of Zhongdian Chinese website is not as good as a large website like Unlimited Chinese website, it is already the top three choices in the minds of the authors because of its high share and good benefits.
Once the website becomes bigger, it will definitely develop steadily. As long as the person in charge does not have cerebral palsy and does not make some mentally retarded operations, it will be difficult for the website to go downhill.
Pei Qian looked at Ma Yiqun carefully and felt that he was definitely not cerebral palsy.
Since this is the case, the future development of Zhongdian Chinese Network is getting better and better, which is definitely a high probability event.
I can't continue like this, I have to do something!
Pei Qian is also a reader of online novels and has a little knowledge of these things in the online literature circle.
He thought for a moment and soon found a good entry point.
"Our website is still dominated by subscription points, right?"
Ma Yiqun didn’t know why Mr. Pei asked this and nodded: “Yes, Mr. Pei, since our website was founded, you have always emphasized that you should make the main focus with subscription points and try not to buy out.”
Pei Qian thought about it and it seemed that this was indeed decided by himself.
Because at the beginning of the founding of Terminal Chinese, the entire website was in a state of no interest.
Pei Qian was worried that Ma Yiqun used buyouts to dig out some foreign authors at high prices, which would bring popularity and traffic to the Final Chinese website, so he repeatedly stated that he should make the main use of subscription points and not buyouts.
Because there are no readers, the subscription share will naturally not be much. The authors will make money by writing books here without money, so they will naturally not come.
But now, times have changed.
After the development of the Final Chinese website, the subscription share is definitely a model that can motivate the authors more. Because the better the writing, the higher the subscription, the more money it makes, so the authors will work hard to polish the plot and contribute better works to readers.
Pei Qian took a sip of tea and said, "This principle must be changed. In the future, we will both share the money and buy out. However, we will only buy out the works of our own authors!"
Ma Yiqun was stunned for a moment: "Only buy out the works of his own author?"
Logically speaking, since you want to make a buyout, a very important purpose is to poach people from outside.
Because excellent authors from other sites are not sure whether they can maintain their current income by subscribing to the website after changing the website. They are worried that they will not adapt to the local conditions and will be careful when they are poached.
Therefore, it is relatively easier to poach people in the form of a buyout.
As for the works of my own author, signing a buyout is actually meaningless.
Because buying out is not an unlimited high price, the website also needs to ensure that it will not lose money.
The website will estimate the manuscript fee that the author can get by writing a subscription share, and then give a buyout price that is higher than the manuscript fee.
If the content written by the author is lower than the value of the subscription, then the website is losing money; and if the content written by the author is higher than the value of the subscription, then the author is losing money.
But for the authors of this website, if they make a fortune by writing subscriptions and think they can make more progress, they will definitely not sign a buyout because it will wipe out their fighting spirit. However, if they are some authors who are not very profitable in subscribers, their abilities are not good, and signing a buyout will not motivate him to write a book harder, but objectively encourage him to just live a life of slaughter.
Therefore, the method of buying out is easier to use when poaching people, but if it is used on your own, it may cause a loss between the website and the author.
That's why Ma Yiqun is full of doubts about Mr. Pei's buying-out strategy.
Pei Qian looked at Ma Yiqun's confused expression and smiled without saying a word.
Do you doubt it?
If you are confused, that's right!
I originally wanted to suck the authors' fighting spirit!
Many authors know that writing a buyout is actually easy to waste people.
Because buyouts are usually calculated based on words, the quality of the work will not actually affect the author's income. As long as the contract is strictly executed, no matter how rubbish the author writes, as long as it does not obviously violate the contract regulations, the website will have to pay according to words.
For the author, if he writes well and exceeds the price given by the buyout, the money he earns remains unchanged, which means he loses. Therefore, they will lack the motivation to write well.
Of course, in order to avoid these problems, many websites have added many additional terms to the buyout contract. For example: when the data is poor, the editor has the right to ask the author to modify it or complete the book in advance; when the data of the book reaches a certain level, the author can make a request to the website and buy out and transfer the share of the share; or simply sign a "guaranteed share", which means that when the subscription does not exceed a certain value, the share of the share of the purchase after it exceeds the share.
But Pei Qian obviously does not intend to use this method.
Chapter completed!
