Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 881 The dust has settled

Chapter 881 The dust has settled
Fang Minghua nodded after hearing this.

Indeed, these six people are the founding members of Qidian.com and have made tremendous contributions to the development of the website. They founded the VIP charging system for online articles, and it is this system that makes Qidian.com stand out among many websites.

But the Phantom Sword eventually fell into decline.

Of course, he did not express anything in front of Dai Jiali, but just said, "I understand."

Dai Jiali stayed for a while, then said goodbye and left, leaving behind the information of the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance.

Fang Minghua flipped through it and found that it was basically the same as what Dai Jiali had described, only in more detail.

After dinner, Fang Minghua took a shower and changed into clean clothes. He was about to lie comfortably on the bed when he heard a knock on the door. He went to open the door and saw a tall and thin young man standing at the door.

It turned out to be Chen Wan.

"Hey, what's going on? Dai Jiali left and you came right after?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"Mr. Dai has been here too?" Chen Wan was a little surprised.

"Yes, he just left not long ago. Come in." Fang Minghua invited Chen Wan into the room and poured him a cup of tea.

Chen Wan took a sip of tea and said, "Teacher Fang, since President Dai has been here, I'm sure she also mentioned the acquisition. I won't beat around the bush. My suggestion is to acquire the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance."

"Reason?" Fang Minghua said, sitting casually on the sofa next to him.

"It's very simple. Now Huanjian Book Alliance is the leader in fantasy online writing websites. If we want to acquire a company, we should acquire the best one in the industry. This is common sense." Chen Wanyan said succinctly.

"Of course, there is also a website called Dragon's Sky. In fact, it was the original leader of fantasy websites. However, the founders of the website, Lou Lanxue, Weid, and Liu Shui, suddenly lost their minds. Starting last year, they actually shifted the focus of the website to offline publishing of physical books. As a result, the top spot of fantasy novel websites was lost to Huanjian Book Alliance."

Does Dragon’s Sky have this history?

Pity.

If it develops well, Longkong will not be just a forum for online literature lovers in the future, struggling for survival.

After listening to Chen Wan's story, Fang Minghua said, "I heard from Dai Jiali that several high-level officials of the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance are basically part-time, and their division of labor and abilities are not as good as those of the starting point."

"What Dai Jiali said is true." Chen Wan did not deny it:

"But I don't think this is a big problem. If we think those senior executives are not good enough, we can kick them out after the acquisition and recruit new people. I can also quit my position as COO of Rongshuxia website and focus on the business of Huanjian Book Alliance!"

Chen Wan spoke passionately.

That's right
In fact, for Fang Minghua, it doesn’t matter whether it is Huanjian or Qidian. Now is still the wild age of online literature. It doesn’t matter which website it is, what matters is the people!
Someone who has innovative ideas and can grasp the pulse of online literature development!

Fang Minghua nodded, but did not answer directly. Instead, he suddenly asked, "I heard that Qidian Chinese website is going to implement a VIP charging mechanism. What do you think about this?"

Chen Wan thought for a while before saying, "I don't think the VIP charging system is the best business model. I think free is the development trend of online literature. Now the Internet advocates that everything is free."

"Of course, free does not mean there is no income, but advertisements are inserted in the novel chapters, and the advertising revenue is divided, taking into account both the website revenue and the author's income. Now almost all portal websites such as NetEase, Sohu, and Sina have adopted this model." Chen Wan hurriedly added.

That's right.

Including Under the Banyan Tree, which has this free mechanism!

The free websites that emerged later also adopted this model to compete with Qidian. But that was 20 years later.

After Chen Wan finished speaking, Fang Minghua did not express his opinion, but just said that he needed to think about it and everyone would discuss it at the company meeting tomorrow.

Chen Wan is gone.

Fang Minghua didn't think much about it, he already had the answer in his mind.

The next morning after breakfast, Fang Minghua went downstairs and saw a black Audi parked at the entrance of the hotel. Dai Jiali had sent the license plate number to Fang Minghua's mobile phone. After he checked the license plate number, he asked the driver to drive straight to the headquarters of Shengshi Group.

Across the Huangpu River, Lujiazui is more prosperous than in previous years. High-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and the 19-story building of Shengshi Group’s headquarters seems a little small.

When they entered the lobby on the first floor, Dai Jiali and Chen Wan were already waiting in the lobby. When they saw Fang Minghua come in, they immediately came up to greet her. They got into the elevator together, talking and laughing, and it was hard to tell that the conflict between them was irreconcilable.

Arriving at the floor where Shengshi Online Literature Company was located, Fang Minghua did not wander around, but entered the conference room and started a meeting immediately.

There were four people in total, in addition to Dai Jiali and Chen Wan, there was Lu Jinbo (Li Xunhuan), the company's vice president and editor-in-chief of the website, and a vice president in charge of finance and logistics, named Jiang Yongjun, who graduated from the accounting major of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and was also an online literature enthusiast.

Without much greetings, the meeting began directly, and Dai Jiali and Chen Wan each stated their opinions.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

In fact, the opinions of both of them were made very clear last night. Now Fang Minghua wanted to hear what Lu Jinbo and Jiang Yongjun thought, but unexpectedly, they both supported Chen Wan’s suggestion to acquire Huanjian Book Alliance!

No wonder even Dai Jiali, a veteran, feels overwhelmed.

After the four of them finished their statements, they all looked at Fang Minghua with eager eyes.

Fang Minghua took a sip of tea and said calmly: "My opinion is to acquire the starting point."

"Second, I am very optimistic about the VIP charging mechanism they are going to create. It can be said to be the main business model for online literature in the future."

As soon as Fang Minghua finished speaking, Dai Jiali's face immediately became surprised, while Chen Wan's eyes became dim.

"After the acquisition of Qidian, like Under the Banyan Tree, they became two independent websites under Shengshi Online Literature, operating independently without interfering with each other," Fang Minghua added.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to negotiate the specific acquisition matters with Qidian right away." Dai Jiali said immediately.

Chen Wan wanted to say something, but his mouth moved but no words came out.

Lu Jinbo also remained silent, but Jiang Yongjun immediately expressed his support.

"Now that the decision has been made, let's do it well." Fang Minghua said and stood up.

After finishing his business, Fang Minghua left the headquarters building. With the farewell of Dai Jiali and others, he went downstairs, got into the Audi car, and returned to the hotel. The whole process took less than an hour.

After returning to the hotel, Fang Minghua wanted to visit the old villa he bought on Julu Road. Since he didn't have a car, he called Zhao Hongjun and asked him to arrange a car for him to use for two days.

But before I could make the call, I received a call from Dai Jiali.

The first thing Dai Jiali said after the call was connected was: "Teacher Fang, Chen Wan and Lu Bo just submitted their resignations to me!"
