The three founders of the "Chinese Fantasy Literature Society" "Bao Daofeng", "Sword Cangjiangbei" and "Dark Lung" received a strange letter. The letter claimed that he was the literary celebrity Wang Bo and Wang Zian. He was very interested in their literary forum and gave them two choices: either acquire their forum with full capital, or he invested 500,000 yuan to control the shares, and everyone became partners.

The three forum veterans faced this sudden letter, but were not a surprise at first, but doubted the authenticity of the letter, thinking that someone was doing some prank.

"It shouldn't be right?" If Wang Bo didn't interfere, Bao Daofeng, the future Qidian webmaster and Qidian editor-in-chief/editor, used Wubi to type in a chat room on the Internet. This is also a way for several literary forums to communicate with each other because of their common interests and hobbies. Q/Q is used for single-to-single communication, and chat rooms for multiple people. Because Q/Q has not yet launched the group chat function, "The other party has left a Q/Q number and a mobile phone number. Is it a prank? Add Q/Q to chat, or make a phone call to confirm immediately."

"Blade, you are still too simple. If you don't talk about anything else, just look at the Q/Q number he left, I know that this is definitely a prank - 100/06, five-digit number, everyone, have you seen a 5-digit Q/Q number? Who do he think he is? Ma Teng/Xun or Zhang Dong?" Future CEO of China Literature Group, known as the godfather of online literature, "Dark Lung", typing as skillfully as Bao Dagger.

"I also feel that it's mostly pranks." The last one to speak was Jianzang Jiangbei, the general manager of Future Qidian, "But, Blade Feng is right, right? Just verify it. Blade Feng, have you added that guy's Q/Q?"

"Not yet. I'll add it now." Bao Daofeng replied while typing, clicking on the Q/Q panel and starting to add the Q/Q of the letterhead.

Enter the five numbers he had never met before in the query bar, and make sure it was confirmed and the corresponding information popped up immediately. The information popped up surprised Bao Daofeng and his eyes almost fell off.

"I/Damn! I/Damn! This... this nickname is really... Wang Zi'an!" Bao Daofeng's eyes lit up, and he screamed with excitement, and quickly told the two partners the information they found.

Immediately, a series of "I/Damn!" sounds were heard in the chat room, the most popular catchphrase of this era!

The three founders who basically established the other party's identity were very excited and began to type and communicate, discussing solutions to whether to choose the No. 1 plan to share the money or choose the No. 2 plan.

Baodaofeng and Jianzang Jiangbei's opinion is that everyone will share the money to calculate the ball. Several people currently have their own jobs, and the management forum is purely a hobby, and it is unlikely that they will quit their jobs to specialize in novel websites. The reason is very simple. In this Internet era where free is king and stolen/version is rampant, online novels cannot see any profit points. The only hope is to follow the path of traditional publishing - but don't think about simplified Chinese, you can only go to T Bay and traditional publishing in Xiangjiang. However, traditional publishing is also difficult, and you can only publish a few of the most popular books on the Internet a year. It is really unrealistic to publish a few traditional online books to maintain the operation of the website by publishing a few traditional online articles.

In fact, even the current leader of online literature, "Fantasy/Sword/Shu/Union", has focused on physical publishing. However, the results are very little. Those hard-core book fans who claimed that "I will definitely buy you when you publish a book" when popular authors serialize the website and contact the publishing house to really publish a book and print it, most of the hard-core people suddenly remain silent and disappeared. The current publishing market, especially the simplified publishing market, is completely immortal. The operators of many book stations want to make profits through publishing, and are basically lost. The venue is lively and the traffic is increasing, but they are not profitable. Moreover, as the space becomes more and more expensive, they are unable to make ends meet. This is the current situation in the online literature circle and a portrayal of many Internet companies in China.

The Internet is cold winter, the Internet is cold winter, otherwise why is it called cold winter?

I can't hold on, I'm going to die!

In a word, the three founders who know the Internet literature circle like it. It is true that they like it. It is true that they are interested in Internet literature, but in 2001, they are not optimistic about the future of Internet literature. If they want to give up their current stable iron rice bowl and follow Wang Bo, even if the other party is a celebrity in the traditional Chinese literature circle and a hot best-selling writer, it is unlikely that they will rationally. If they follow Wang Bo to open a website and keep making money and unable to make a profit, they are already adults and will not believe that the other party is a philanthropist, and will always support them.

In the end, that’s 50,000 yuan. Any of them has been paid for several years! The three of them share the same amount, and each person has to share more than 10,000 yuan!

"Bao Daofeng" Lin Feng and "Sword Cangjiangbei" Shang Song wanted to sell the forum to share the money, but Wu Xiaohui, a top student who graduated from Peking University and the future godfather of online literature, had different opinions, saying that it would be okay to follow Wang Bo and Wang Zi'an. The other party is rich and famous, has a huge influence in the traditional literary circle, and has a good relationship with major publishing houses. In the future, the author of the website came up with a simplified version. If Wang Bo and Wang Zi'an could help make a preface and say a few good words, the publicity effect would definitely be leveraged.

Moreover, with Lin and Shang, they have different views on the bleak future of online literature, but Wu Xiaohui believes that there is great potential for online literature in the future, which can be seen from the explosion of both online literature authors and readers in the past two years. He believes that the current era of the wild growth of Chinese Internet literature and the laws and regulations are not sound. However, with the development of China's Internet, the country will definitely free up its hands to regulate it in the future, so that theft/version that major formal websites hate will gradually be curbed.

In short, in Wu Xiaohui's view, the road to online literature is tortuous, but the future must be bright.

The three of them discussed in the chat room for a long time, but they didn't discuss it. The opinions were still unable to be unified and no one could convince anyone.

Finally, Wu Xiaohui, the original initiator of the forum, concluded:

"We will think about whether to sell money or become the other party's partner to start a business with the other party, tonight. It is important and it is not something that can be decided in a short while. Besides, so far, it has not been completely certain whether the other party is Wang Bo and Wang Zi'an. We don't want us to be too excited and chat with each other, but in the end we find that it was a prank. If you are happy, that would be funny."

Lin Feng and Shang Songshen agreed with this, so he decided to make sure if it was true!

Considering that it is already evening and it is not convenient to call, the three of them decided to ask Lin Feng to add the other party’s Q/Q first. If the other party’s Q/Q has not been passed by tomorrow, they will call directly to inquire.

The basic response policy was set, and the three of them did not part and continued to chat in the chat room. However, the building was a bit off and gradually developed towards gossip, which was more magical than the other party, which is only in the legendary Q/Q number, 100/06. A few people, who said one by one, were speculating on the relationship between the other party and Ma Teng and his group. Because the legendary Q/Q number of the five founders, including Teng/Sheng Five Tiger Generals, Ma Teng, Zhang Dong, Li Xiaobo, etc., started from 100/01, 100/02.... The other party's Q/Q number is 100/06, which is obviously not something that ordinary people can obtain.
