Chapter 22 A die-hard fan with a dog-licking level

"Third, fourth... you are back! Let me tell you, I will recommend a great book to you. If you feel bad after reading it, I will bark like a dog for 10 minutes!" Li Mo saw the man who was out fooling around. The two roommates returned to the dormitory and came forward to show their courtesy.

"Why are you recommending novels if you have nothing to do?" Lao San looked at Li Mo.

"Actually, I'd rather hear you bark like a dog." The fourth child said with a mischievous smile.

"Never mind it, let's watch Chapter 1 first. If it's not good after reading it, I'll learn how to bark like a dog and do what I say!" Li Mo said through gritted teeth.

I thought to myself, author, I have sacrificed so much for you, so you have to work hard to keep writing!

Previously, just one chapter had made Li Mo feel astonished!It’s not that I haven’t seen anyone with better writing skills.It’s not like I haven’t seen it before, the creativity is amazing...

The key is that "Rebirth 1990" is top-notch in terms of creativity, writing, and plot. It's the kind of novel that can seduce people's hearts with just one chapter. To be honest, this is the first time he has read it since he read it online!

"Let's see..." Lao Si didn't talk nonsense and directly used Li Mo's computer to click to watch.

In fact, it is common for four roommates in the same dormitory to not return to the dormitory, except for the eldest who is starting a business outside.

Although the other two people are not as obsessed with Internet articles as Li Mo, they are somewhat influenced by it and have read some Internet articles.

In a sense, the average quality of early Internet readers was higher. The reason is that a large number of low-educated people played games in Internet cafes.

Most of the Internet cafes play "Legend" together, which is probably the most common Internet ecology in this era.

Many of those who read online articles are college students and white-collar workers.

Later, the Internet became more popular and there were more home broadband users.Even in the era of mobile Internet, online writing has truly become popular among the public.

After smartphones became Internet terminals, many village elders and aunts who did not read online articles in the past also read novels on their mobile phones.

My uncle and aunt stayed up late at night, lying in bed watching Douyin, Kuaishou or even reading novels, which became the cause of many family conflicts in later generations.

If you think about it, 20 years from now, everyone will read online articles. Potential readers will be exhausted, and there will be no incremental users for online articles.

In a sense, the number of Internet users in this era is not as large as that of ten or twenty years later, but it is a state of vitality and competition for all things.

The main thing is that users' freshness and curiosity about the Internet far exceed that of later generations.The spirit of sharing also transcends future generations.

"Huh?" Lao Si clicked on the webpage. Just the beginning of Chapter 1 made him feel that this book was different. It was really different!

Not only the exquisite writing style, but also the author's brilliant literary talent. It doesn't look like a casual work, but like a very talented author who has written an imaginative work.

Such literary talent can indeed be found in a lot of traditional literature.

However... traditional literature does not cater to readers and does not bother to write what ordinary readers like to hear and see!

Internet literature naturally likes to cater to readers. However, most authors' writing styles are indeed difficult to describe in one sentence.

A novel like "Rebirth 1990" that makes up for all the shortcomings is really rare these days.

"The protagonist travels back in time from 2003 to 1990? A scene from a Hollywood movie?" asked the fourth child.

"It's rebirth. To put it simply, it's a new concept. Now I've returned to 13 years ago, when I was still young. My body is the same as when I was young, but my memory is the memory of 2003." Li Mo explained very enthusiastically.

"Oh? Isn't it about the same?" The fourth child then subconsciously clicked on the next chapter?

Huh?

What about the next chapter?

This little goblin used Chapter 1 to arouse his interest, but in the end, it was gone?

"Is grass a kind of plant? Just one chapter?" The fourth child looked very angry.

"Don't be angry!" Li Mo Anwei said, "Such a good article, even if it is only one chapter, cannot be compared with other vulgar books! I believe that the author will continue to write in the future, but in order to encourage the author, there are still many Would you like to collect and recommend? You also have a reader account, log in to your computer, and then collect and vote for the author!"

"You've been working on it for a long time and it's just one chapter?" The third child was also speechless.

Li Mo turned around and urged the third child: "You also have an account. Click, collect, recommend, and vote for "Rebirth 1990"!"

Under Li Mo's urging, the third and fourth children had to log in to their computers, go online, click, vote, and collect, three times in a row!

Later, Li Mo began to discuss the Internet articles in the world today, except "Rebirth 1990" and "Ethereal Journey"!

"The Misty Journey" is as popular as Cao Cao.

Although "Rebirth 1990" only has one chapter, from Li Mo's perspective, which has read all the online articles, this book is at least as good as Liu Xuande!

The three of them are having a lively discussion!

"It's been updated, it's been updated! It's been updated again..." Lao Si suddenly shouted excitedly, "I just finished reading Chapter 1, and now I'm seeing Chapter 2 again!"

"Two chapters a day?" The third child couldn't help but be surprised.

"No...I overturn what I said before!" Li Mo continued, "The current situation of online writing is like the late Qin Dynasty, when heroes are vying for the throne. "The Misty Journey" is as powerful as a rainbow, but it is just Xiang Yu, who has great ambitions and little talent, and has no imagination. However, the writing power is insufficient, and it may be difficult to become popular in the future. And "Rebirth 1990" is not only a pioneer of imagination, but also the rebirth literary genre in the future will definitely arise because of it. The writing style is even more like an immortal from heaven. Now there are two chapters a day, which will not let other opponents Imitating and following trends distracts from popularity. To put it simply, I have a premonition... it will be at its peak and reach the top of the Chinese Pastry Network! Other groups of writers are helpless and unrivaled!"

……

Zhao Han didn't know that he had a die-hard fan.

I know, that’s it...

After all, licking a dog...

When dealing with licking dogs, the goddess knows that only by being neither cold nor hot can we gain greater benefits.

How many lickers can a goddess have?Anyone who manages several licking dogs knows that they cannot waste too much time on one licking dog. Only by casting a wide net and getting more licking dogs can the benefits be maximized.

The readers the author has to face are definitely orders of magnitude more than those goddesses.If you use the model of a goddess managing a dog-licker to interact, you probably won’t have time to write at all.

The best way for authors and readers to get along is actually to write works that readers like to read. There is really no need for anything else.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, I checked the time and saw that there was a gap of 2 hours, so I uploaded Chapter [-].

Chapter 2 was uploaded, and the collection increased from 7 to 13 in a short period of time.

It only surprised Zhao Han a little bit, but he didn't take it seriously.

After all, updating chapters happens to be stuck at a good time. The update list on the homepage can be refreshed, and it is expected that favorites will be brought immediately after the update.

Although the current Pastry Chinese website is the largest website for online articles, its library only has more than 1000 books, and the number of books serialized daily is only about two to three hundred.

On average, more than 10 books are updated every hour. In other words, if you are lucky, you can update a chapter and be exposed in the update list on the homepage for about an hour.Even if you are not lucky, you can stay on the homepage for more than 10 minutes.

This can gain exposure through updates.

It is also only found in early online articles.

If it were a later Internet article, no matter how fast it was updated, there would be no chance of exposure like this.Because, more than ten years later, on the online literature platform, hundreds of novels may be updated in an hour.It is impossible for any novel to be updated and stay on the home page for more than 1 minute.What's more, at that time, the role of the PC website's home page website had been reduced.The works are mainly displayed through smaller mobile phone screens, and there are fewer opportunities to gain exposure to the works through updates.

Chapter 23 Just two chapters shocked the pastry editorial department

Pastry Chinese website.morning.

In 2003, the website with the largest online article traffic had only 10 people in the company. The founder and employees worked in the same office.

At this time, the Pastry Chinese Network was only a personal business. A few early Internet enthusiasts got together for various reasons. First, they established a secondary website forum on Xilu BBS. Later, they established an independent website and established the Pastry Chinese Network. .

In fact, most of the early Chinese online literature websites originated from the West China BBS.

The reason is that many individual website builders in the early days could not afford servers and did not have the skills to build websites.

Xilu.com, on the other hand, provides free virtual servers and uses Xilu.com BBS templates to build websites. The disadvantage is...the URL of the website you create must be added with the URL prefix of Xilu.com.

The free virtual server website provided by Xilu is equivalent to a certain section of Xilu.com, not a real personal website.

Because of too many restrictions, many personal websites that started as Xilu BBS decided to move out of Xilu.com when financial conditions allowed.

Pastry Chinese Network has a similar background. It also established a novel section on Xilu BBS at the beginning.

In 2002, several founders of Pastry Chinese Network decided to start a real business. They moved out of the Xilu BBS and established Pastry Chinese Network.

Pastry Chinese Network is not just a whim. Since the official establishment of the website, the founder of the website has continuously used his connections to invite some authors who publish traditional Chinese to serialize novels on the Internet and authorize them to Pastry Chinese Network.

At the same time, Pastry also widely invites some unpublished online novels to be serialized in Pastry, and even signs contracts.

Sometimes, Pastry uses the temptation of publishing Traditional Chinese as an agent to attract some authors who want to be published, publish their works and sign contracts with Pastry.

However, agency publishing is not the purpose of the pastry founder's website. The purpose of building the website is still to find a business model for his own website, which can not only provide authors with stable royalties, attract authors to write books, but also not affect the website itself. funding brings too much pressure.

This business model was quickly thought up, but it was not the pastry founder who came up with it, but Mingyang.com who first came up with it.

In 02, Mingyang.com came up with a VIP paid reading business model for novels, which was studied by Pastry Chinese Network. After that, it decided to imitate Mingyang.com and launch VIP paid novels.

In October 2003, a year and a half after its establishment, Pastry Chinese Network officially launched the VIP paid subscription model, and the first batch of 10 works were put on the shelves.

The first batch of 8 VIP signing books, the first month subscription results are basically between a few hundred yuan to more than 1000 yuan.In the first month, it was not inferior to what Mingyang.com achieved after a year of development.

After Caixin Chinese Network launched VIP, it quickly began to support a group of contracted authors who earned a few hundred to 1000 yuan a month.

Such achievements, although in the eyes of some published authors, are nothing.But... for many authors who have no way of publishing, it is undoubtedly very tempting.

Relying on VIP paid subscriptions, Pastry Chinese Network not only did not have a significant decrease in traffic, but also attracted more authors to actively publish their works, and the traffic also increased steadily.

At present, the traffic ranking of the pastry Chinese website has already surpassed the older online literature websites, such as Kongkong and Jianjian.

even so……

Pastry Chinese Network is actually still a small company with very meager income, and it knows that excellent works are the driving force behind the continuous growth of website traffic.

With this understanding, Chinese Pastry Network is almost eager to find good works, whether they are on the site or off the site.

At this moment, Mr. Cake, the boss of Chinese Pastry Network, is drinking tea at his desk.

Look at the traffic data in the background of the website, as well as the subscription status.

During this period of time, the data was growing visibly with the naked eye, which undoubtedly made him feel happy, thinking, as expected of me...

"The VIP payment model has brought more authors to submit articles, and the traffic has not decreased but increased. The website's revenue has also continued to grow. According to the current situation, the turning point of profitability is just around the corner!" Mr. Cake said excitedly to the entrepreneur. said his accomplice Mr. Bread.

Mr. Bread nodded and started writing code. He also understood business matters.But he mainly writes code. After all, he is the only programmer in the company.

Seeing Mr. Bread busy, Mr. Cake paced again and walked behind Mr. Biscuit, another business partner.

"What good works did you find?" Mr. Cake asked.

"The editor in charge, Wo Long, reported to me that he found a good book, but there were only two chapters. The quality was described as shocking. I must read it." Mr. Biscuit pushed up his glasses.

In the division of labor among pastry founders, Mr. Biscuit is responsible for novel content and author signings, recommendation and publicity, etc. He is also the chief editor of the website.

As for Mr. Cake, the biggest BOSS of the website, he can take care of everything, but he doesn’t seem to need to take care of anything.

"Wolong recommended it? This guy is very impatient. In the first one or two chapters of some novels, he rushes to submit them for signing. Many of these books are just for fun. The author dug a hole and ran away. The contract cannot be found. He has no contact information at all, and the other party’s account is no longer logged in.” Mr. Cake complained, “Feng Chu is still very steady, and he hardly reads books with less than [-] words!”

"..." Mr. Biscuit thought to himself, if you don't sign a good work of [-] words, what the heck, a bunch of editors from friends and editors, and even editors from publishing houses, will run away as soon as they hook up.

After all, Chinese pastry website is not yet the unified one for generations to come.Internet writers Jianghu or Zhuolu, the hero of the world, has not yet determined who will get this world.

Pastry Chinese website only has a slight advantage, which is to promote the VIP payment system, thereby consolidating the author's basic base.

But the VIP payment system is not unique to the pastry family, and it was not even the first one to come up with it.

Ming Yang introduced paid services one year earlier than pastries. Its founder, Zhong Hua Yang, is also considered a pioneer. His personal work "Hua Rises in Different Time and Space" can be said to have made him famous for a while, and his website implemented a paid subscription system. , and even attracted countless heroes who wrote about military and history to defect to it.

However, due to financial problems, technical problems, and the fact that Zhonghuayang itself is not suitable for business, Mingyang.com has never become bigger.

On the contrary, the rising star Pastry.com imitated its business model and quickly surpassed Mingyang.com.

Pastry can imitate the VIP payment system of Mingyang.com, can’t other friendly websites do the same?

"Fuck... this writing is so awesome to the naked eye!" Mr. Cake couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the text of Chapter 1 of the novel on the screen, "Which kind of god is this, opening a vest in front of us?"

Mr. Biscuit was also surprised and said: "The plot is novel, and the writing style... is also very sophisticated! It doesn't look like the work of a newcomer at all!"

"It's like a writer in traditional literature suddenly enlightened to write online novels! The creativity and subject matter are online novels, but the writing style is also top-notch in publishing!" Mr. Cake commented, "Sign it, this book is worth it sign!"

"Well!" Mr. Biscuit said, "Wolong discovered it, so let Wolong be in charge of this book."

Originally, Mr. Biscuit could have been the editor of this book, but it was not necessary.

He is the editor-in-chief and one of the founders of the website. He really doesn't need to compete with his subordinates for author resources and performance.

Chapter 24 As soon as we signed the contract, we turned against each other. We are so loyal!

morning.Zhao Han's study room.

Zhao Han is preparing to release Chapter 3, which is also the first update of the day.

And Liu Mengcheng was like a curious baby, standing behind the computer, staring at the screen, urging Zhao Han to read the latest data in the book first.
