Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 179 If you don't become a god, you may not realize how powerful you are!

"Huh, why is there no news from Mobile Wireless Reading lately?"

"Yeah, it was all over the news a few days ago, why has it died down now?"

"Could it be that this project has fallen through?"

A few days later.

A piece of gossip suddenly appeared on SkyNet.

"This is just a rumor, and its veracity cannot be guaranteed. It is said that Qidian and China Mobile have not yet reached a cooperation agreement."

The news caused an instant uproar in the industry.

"Holy crap, why?"

"Isn't this fantastic news? How could a cooperation not have been reached?"

"Is Qidian out of his mind, or what?"

Some friends who were unaware of the truth started cursing.

"Brother, don't curse people randomly. Maybe it's not Qidian's fault."

"How can it not be the fault of the starting point? China Mobile is clearly the channel, giving you money, and you still won't agree."

"Do you know how much of a cut China Mobile takes?"

"Isn't it 5:5?"

"Young man, you are too naive."

The games of capital are destined to be beyond the comprehension of ordinary authors.

As soon as the news came out.

Some experienced users would know what's going on.

"I understand. I guess the mobile company wants to take a huge cut."

"It's said that China Mobile will take 8% of the profits, and they'll also deduct operating costs."

"My God, 8%? How much is left for the author?"

Is the news true or false?

"It's probably true. I used to work in mobile value-added services, and China Mobile's commission rates are outrageous. Do you know how much they took when QQ was hosted on China Mobile's mobile internet platform?"

"How many?"

"They'll take 7%. Their starting point is clearly inferior to Tencent's, so taking 8% is very likely."

"My darling."

These are all just gossip.

Neither side has confirmed the specifics of the movement or the starting point.

of course.

I definitely won't talk about this.

Regardless of whether it's 80% or not.

Neither side will offer an explanation.

If they were to come out and explain, it would mean that the two sides had completely broken off relations.

but.

At its current stage, Qidian has no right to openly break ties with China Mobile.

To put it nicely.

Even if China Mobile takes 8% or 9%, you'll still have to obey.

……

"If we don't praise the gods, will the mobile carrier take 8%?"

In an unknown group, a group of top-tier authors sent a message to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was also a little confused: "I don't know either."

According to past lives.

Mobile takes 6% of the revenue, and the remaining 4% is split between Qidian and the author.

That means the author gets 20%.

If the mobile operator takes 8% of the profits, the author will only get 1%.

Even 1% might not be possible.

Because operating costs also need to be deducted.

"Why don't you ask the starting point?"

The authors immediately sought out Chen Yang.

In their hearts.

Chen Yang has become a leading figure among online novel authors.

Although Chen Yang never said that he was...

but.

The results speak for themselves.

People will naturally regard you as number one.

In fact.

Chen Yang is truly number one now.

Even Tang San.

He is no match for Chen Yang now.

After all, the copyrights for Tang San's comics and anime have not yet been released.

It will take another 5 years for it to really take off.

"Okay, I'll ask."

Chen Yang didn't look for the sword immediately; instead, he went to find the captain first.

The team leader is the deputy editor-in-chief of Qidian, which means he's part of Qidian's management team.

The captain sighed when he saw the message from Chen Yang: "8% of the gossip circulating outside is true."

"I go……"

Chen Yang clicked his tongue in disbelief: "The way they eat is really disgusting."

In my past life, countless authors complained endlessly about the 6% cut paid by mobile operators.

They're taking 8% now...that's incredible.

"China Mobile has always been like this."

The captain was also helpless.

Chen Yang continued, "Did you agree?"

After thinking for a while, the team leader said, "The website hasn't been decided yet, but..."

Chen Yang knew.

The situation is weaker than people.

They have a monopoly market.

You need his help.

It's not that he needs something from you.

but.

Just as the team leader was having a headache, he suddenly had a bright idea when he saw Chen Yang's QQ: "Hey Chen Yang, could you do us a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"You'll come with us to the next negotiation with China Mobile."

"I?"

Chen Yang was dumbfounded: "Captain, what good will it do me? Will the mobile company give me, a nobody author, any face?"

"You may not realize your potential yet. Really, you can really help us."

"Captain, if it can help, I'm definitely willing to."

This kind of thing.

How could Chen Yang not take action?

To truly soar to the heavens in Battle Through the Heavens, one must rely on mobile channels.

Only mobile channels.

Only then can the book "Battle Through the Heavens" truly enter every household.

……

"Sword, I've got an idea."

After finishing his conversation with Chen Yang, the captain immediately approached Bao Jian: "Bao Jian, next time we negotiate with China Mobile, why don't we invite Bu Yang to come along?"

"Not to praise the gods?"

Bao Jian didn't understand at first: "It seems that Bu Yangshen's departure wouldn't have much of an effect. Although, his novel Battle Through the Heavens is very popular."

"No, it's not the book's fault. The book is secondary; the most important thing is not to proclaim God's identity."

"What is the identity of Bu Yang Shen?"

"A first-prize winner of the New Concept Writing Competition, a top student at Aurora University, the champion of the China Rich List of Writers, a member of the National Writers Association, and the first online writer to be a member of the National Writers Association. He was the subject of two interviews on CCTV News' 30-minute program."

The captain kept announcing Chen Yang's identity.

Bao Jian and Jiang Nan's eyes lit up: "Captain, you've done a great job."

Yes.

Don't be fooled by these seemingly unimpressive identities.

All these identities combined create an exceptionally powerful synergy.

In particular, Chen Yang was the first online novelist to join a national-level writers' association.

If the higher-ups don't speak up, who would dare approve Chen Yang's joining?

In other words.

Chen Yang has now caught the attention of higher-ups.

……

In fact, Chen Yang had a vague feeling about it.

But he was just an ordinary person.

No big shot contacted him.

There is absolutely no connection between them.

This made Chen Yang's vague feeling not quite so real.

until.

One day, the principal invited Chen Yang to his office for tea.

Chen Yang then began to understand.

Before heading to the other side of the road.

Chen Yang met with Bao Jian and the others first to discuss the specifics.

The starting point has made great efforts over the past few days, especially through the relationship with Shengda.

The mobile company made an exception and agreed to reduce the ratio to 7:3.

However, the starting point is still considered too high, and we hope it can be lowered to 6:4.

At the same time, we hope to reduce the payment cycle for royalties from the original 6 months to 3 months.

……

The mobile wireless reading base is located in Hangzhou.

This part of the business was commissioned by the China Mobile headquarters to be built and operated by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mobile.

When heading towards Hangzhou from the starting point, which is the headquarters of China Mobile in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

That was unexpected.

The person in charge from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mobile actually came in person to participate in this negotiation.

"This must be Chen Yang."

When Yang Jie, the head of China Mobile in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, met Chen Yang, he shook hands with him warmly.

The captain and Baojian were secretly delighted.

They knew that today's negotiations had a chance.

"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young, Chen Yang. Your works are said to be very popular among internet users. I think that if they were placed in our mobile wireless reading market, they would definitely attract even more readers."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang. We've come here today to discuss specific details of our cooperation. Of course, I'm not an employee of Qidian, nor do I own any shares in Qidian; I'm just a small-time author. I also hope that through the mobile wireless reading platform, my work can become known to the public. To put it simply, I want to earn more royalties."

"Haha, Chen Yang is indeed very down-to-earth. We think so too. Once our business is officially operational, it will bring substantial income to millions of authors. However, as you know, we need to spend a lot of manpower and resources, as well as our mobile resources, on building channels and promoting this business."

"understand."

Subsequently.

Chen Yang didn't say much.

The formal entry into negotiations remains a valuable asset.

But this conversation went much more smoothly than before.

Although Baojian proposed several solutions, the mobile side did not accept them immediately.

But they did not directly object.

Take a break at noon.

Chen Yang and Bao Jian discussed it again.

"Chen Yang, I think we have a chance. 6:4 should be no problem."

The sword was somewhat excited.

Today's negotiations went smoothly.

Both the sword and the Jiangnan region evoke this feeling.

They knew, of course, why: it was because of Chen Yang's existence.

Although Chen Yang doesn't have any particularly impressive status now, his influence has already become apparent.

However, Chen Yang still said, "6:4 is barely acceptable for us authors. However, I think 3 months is too long for the payment period; 1 month would be better."

"One month... that's a good starting point for us. But I don't know if those state-owned enterprises are that efficient. How about two months?"

"Baojian, you must persevere for a month."

Chen Yang remained steadfast in his opinion.

It's not that he lacks the patience.

The longer the settlement period, the more shady dealings there are.

In later generations, there were far too many cases of paying for handwritten manuscripts.

If the settlement cycle is too long... then basically, you won't be able to check the data even if you want to.

Moreover, a settlement cycle that is too long is not conducive to the development of online literature.

For Chen Yang

The importance of a one-month settlement cycle is, in some respects, even greater than the revenue sharing ratio.

……

in the afternoon.

Negotiations between the two sides continued.

The mobile company said they needed to report the 6:4 split to their superiors.

Chen Yang knew.

Basically, China Mobile agreed; it's just a matter of going through a procedure.

Regarding payment of royalties, China Mobile has also compromised, reducing the cycle from 6 months to 3 months.

However, Baojian still proposed a one-month settlement plan.

The general manager of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mobile looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded and said that this was his suggestion.

finally.

The negotiations between Qidian and China Mobile have concluded.

of course.

No specific cooperation agreement was signed during this round of negotiations.

However, Chen Yang knew.

This negotiation can be said to have made significant progress.

A week later.

Chengdong and Qidian officially signed a cooperation agreement.

The revenue sharing ratio between the two parties was reduced to 6:4.

The payment period for royalties has been reduced from three months to one month.

The only thing that Chen Yang regretted was that...

The mobile operator will still charge operating fees.

In other words.

Before the revenue sharing, the mobile operator will deduct operating expenses.

For this.

Chen Yang was at his wit's end.

Moving to make such a big step is already the best possible outcome.

……

"Bu Yang Shen, I heard you went to the negotiations between Qidian and China Mobile this time?"

"Uh, I just went there for a visit."

"Holy crap, awesome. 8:2, and you've even brought up 6:4... Bhagavan, you're amazing."

"Brothers, don't say that. It wasn't my doing. Shengda also stepped in."

"No matter what, from now on, you will always be my god."

Some authors who knew the truth sent messages to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was also very excited.

It wasn't that he felt like he had shown off.

He felt he had done something extremely meaningful.

It felt like I had done a good deed when I was a child, and I was incredibly happy.

What makes him even happier.

he knows.

All online novel authors will benefit from this negotiation between Qidian and China Mobile.
