Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 180 I heard that Bu Yangshen and the head of China Mobile had a real-life showdown. (Please subscribe)
"Brothers, Mobile surrenders, 6:4, 6:4."

"Yes, and royalties are also settled monthly, in sync with Qidian."

"I never expected this. I thought it was impossible for China Mobile to lower its revenue share."

to be frank.

A 6:4 ratio isn't necessarily a good split.

But compared to the previous 8:2, that's much better.

"Rumor has it that the biggest contributor to this negotiation was Bu Yangshen."

"No way, what does this have to do with the Unseen God?"

"It is said that the god of 'unyielding spirits' was involved in this negotiation, and he lost his temper in his office."

"Holy crap...that's awesome? What else? What else?"

"It seems they've gotten into a fight with the head of the mobile company."

The news from outside started spreading like wildfire at some point.

At first, the news seemed quite plausible.

While it may be somewhat exaggerated, it is still somewhat normal.

Later.

These kinds of news are not simply exaggerated.

"Yes, I heard that Bu Yangshen overturned the table on the spot and cursed at the person in charge of China Mobile for half an hour."

"A boy battles a dragon?"

“That’s right. If Bu Yangshen hadn’t held back, he might have used the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger.”

"It's so scary."

"Yes, it is terrifying."

"Don't say that... The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger is a skill from a novel, how could someone like Yang Shen know it?"

"Bu Yangshen is the person who created this unique skill. Do you think he could do it? Even if he couldn't, his martial arts skills were still extraordinary. In high school, he said he could run 1 meters."

"Also, you might not know this. Bu Yangshen is actually a big boss-level figure... After Bu Yangshen went there, the head of China Mobile was all bowing and scraping to him."

Ok.

These news items have been released.

Chen Yang tried to explain himself to everyone, but he couldn't.

But then I thought better of it.

There's not much to say about this.

Spread it however you like.

In any case, although the final result was not the best, it still secured some benefits for myself and others.

……

After the signing of the cooperation agreement between Qidian and China Mobile, China Mobile acted swiftly.

Or.

In fact, the mobile company had already made all the necessary arrangements and was just waiting for the order.

November 08.

A year earlier than in the previous life, the mobile wireless reading service officially began.

Although it's called wireless reading, this reading isn't just limited to online novels.

This reading service also includes pure literature, the Four Great Classical Novels, traditional Chinese books, martial arts works, various types of novels, comics, magazines, and more.

This is somewhat similar to WeChat Reading in later generations, which has all kinds of books.

to be frank.

The Mobile Wireless Reading Base is essentially a mobile website.

Users can log in to this mobile website to read a vast collection of books.

As for how users log in?

How did he know about this website?

too easy.

Mobile offers a one-click bulk SMS service.

All mobile users received the text message.

Simultaneously.

To reassure users when logging into this website.

China Mobile has also launched a free data plan.

In other words.

Once you enter this website, it won't use up your data.

undoubtedly.

This policy attracted countless mobile phone users.

After all, it was 08.

Mobile data is a very, very precious thing.

Many people use their phones to browse the internet for a while, and then log off, afraid of using too much data.

Even some friends who enjoy reading.

They also went to internet cafes to download ebooks and then read them on their phones.

Now that there's a mobile wireless reading platform that doesn't require data usage, there's no need to download ebooks anymore.

"Haha, guys, this mobile wireless reading platform is actually quite convenient; you can access it directly from your phone."

"666... ​​Bro, that's great! Do you have any of our books?"

"I took a look, and there are a lot of books, not just online novels. However, not all online novels are available yet. Apparently, they're being released in batches. But don't get your hopes up too high. After all, not everyone reads online novels."

"Holy crap, is this not what we expected?"

"I don't know, I'm still watching."

Followed by.

A few days later.

There has been a lot of news circulating in the industry about mobile reading platforms.

"Haha, my book is now on a mobile reading platform."

"Mine didn't go, sigh."

"Don't sigh. Mine made it, but it didn't get much traffic. I took a look, and now everyone's reading a bunch of random books. There are even a lot of martial arts novels on the bestseller list."

"Does nobody read our online articles?"

"Yes, there are some, but not many."

This situation left the authors somewhat bewildered.

Chen Yang told everyone in the group not to worry and to wait a little longer.

The mobile wireless reading base targets users who have never been exposed to online literature before.

Even if you tell them that online novels are great, they won't read them for the first time.

They will watch it; it will be based on the better works they remember from the past.

Classic Chinese novels, martial arts novels, and so on will also be on the list.

But to be honest...

These are the Four Great Classical Novels, martial arts novels... many people have already read them.

Whether they buy or rent, they've seen it countless times in real life.

This is just a revisiting of the past.

After they reread the articles, they will surely discover those online stories that can shatter their worldview.

……

"Everyone, everyone, I've found a really good novel."

"What novel? Jin Yong's martial arts novels?"

"I've already read all of Jin Yong's martial arts novels."

"Is it by Huang Yi?"

"I've also finished reading Huang Yi's works."

"What book is that?"

"This book is called 'Cultivation Master in School,' and it's so good at showing off and slapping people in the face. It's amazing."

What does "cultivation" mean?

"It's cultivation, training... First, you build your foundation, then you open your eyes, then you form a golden core, then you transform into a nascent soul, and finally you travel through the nine heavens and ten earths."

"My god, there's such kung fu?"

"There are many more powerful kung fu techniques than this. Hurry up, there's a Qidian online novel section here. The books there will definitely broaden your horizons."

Many users of the mobile wireless reading platform have started exchanging their experiences.

No wonder they were so shocked.

Even those who were reading online novels for the first time could hardly believe it.

There are actually books like this in the world.

There are actually such techniques in this world.

then.

Once they see it, they lose all interest in martial arts films and TV series.

……

"Bu Yangshen, can you find out how much my book sold for at the mobile wireless reading platform?"

Dangdang sent a message to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed: "I can't see it. This is a service from China Mobile. Everyone else and I are also confused."

"Uh, everyone says you're the big boss."

"Don't listen to everyone's nonsense. I'm just a small-time writer, just like everyone else. Think about it, what level is China Mobile at, and what level am I at? During the last negotiation, they only gave me a little face at most. Do you think I could interfere with their business?"

"Uh... well."

"Dangdang, what's the name of your book again?"

"A beautiful woman's personal bodyguard."

"Wow... that's a good name, I think it's great."

"Don't kid me, this book is a complete flop on Qidian. I only make a few hundred yuan a month." "I'll check with China Mobile for you."

of course.

What Chen Yang meant by "seeing" was not that he had any authority to access data.

However, not having permission does not mean you can't watch it.

It's not that the results are perfectly accurate, but we can still make a rough estimate.

For example, works from Qidian.

By looking at his collections, his fan base, the number of comments, etc., you can roughly judge the data of a book.

The same applies to China Mobile.

Although the mobile project has just started, there is still a lot of data to be collected.

However, the comment data in the comment section still has some reference value.

"Wow, this book is amazing! It features a whole harem."

"I love it, I love it! He's slept with so many beautiful girls at school, the protagonist is such a womanizer! Keep it up!"

"Hurry up and update! Are you worried we don't have enough money?"

In the book review section, a group of book lovers continuously left comments.

Ok.

Although mobile data is free, the later chapters are charged, just like on Qidian.

It's not just about charging fees.

The mobile version's model is to charge after chapter 20.

That means they'll let you read about 50,000 to 60,000 words, and then they'll charge you.

This is so much better than starting to charge after 20 words on Qidian (a Chinese online learning platform); it's incredibly satisfying.

The additional fees are several times higher than those on the starting line.

The starting point is 2-3 points per thousand words.

Mobile orders start at 6 cents per thousand words.

Although in later generations, ordinary users also earned 5 cents per thousand words, that was many years later.

A score of 6 points per thousand words in 08 tells you that this is a valuable resource.

"Ding ding, not bad. I think this book will definitely make more money on China Mobile than on Qidian."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. You might be able to earn 1 yuan a month."

"1 yuan? No way! Don't kid me. I don't even know what 1 yuan looks like. Forget 1 yuan, I'd be happy with 1000 yuan a month."

"Haha, let's talk about it after your royalties come out next month."

……

"Brothers, brothers, I have some great news to share. Our online novels have become a hit on the mobile wireless reading platform."

These days, news about mobile reading platforms is popping up frequently within the industry.

No wonder everyone is fine.

The mobile reading platform business truly offers so much to inspire imagination.

Just imagine.

With a tap on your phone, your phone bill will be deducted directly.

Where can you find such a quick and easy solution?
"Hey buddy, didn't you say that people on the mobile network mainly read martial arts novels, traditional books, and the Four Great Classical Novels?"

Someone immediately replied to the post.

"Times have changed. It was true before, but now everyone's attention has quickly shifted. A whole host of users have finally discovered how great our online novels are. I have a friend who works at the Hangzhou Wireless Reading Base, and he told me that even his boss couldn't believe how suddenly online novels became so popular."

"Oh, really? Really? ...How do you use fire?"

"He didn't say the specifics. However, he revealed some data to me. He said that many books earn more than 1000 yuan a day."

"Over 1000... is it split into the previous amount?"

"No, it's 1000 yuan after being split."

"That means the author will receive 1000 yuan."

"Yes."

"Damn it... don't scare me."

Uh-huh.

Don't blame the authors for never having seen big money before.

An income of 1000 yuan a day.

When placed before the authors of 08, that was an extremely terrifying number.

Even if it's applied to all industries.

An income of 1000 yuan a day is an unimaginable figure.

Look at everyone's salary level now.

There aren't many people who can earn 100 yuan a day.

"By the way, by the way, I wanted to ask, are all books priced over 1000 yuan by renowned authors?"

"No... some are experts, but most are not."

"Holy crap, don't tell me that ordinary authors also earn this kind of income."

"My buddy said there really are, and quite a few."

"Stop talking, stop talking. If you keep talking, I'll start wondering if this is really me."

……

Mobile Zhejiang Headquarters.

Yang Jie, the person in charge, visited the mobile reading base once again.

Although this business is supported by the mobile headquarters, it is actually being done by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

As a young and ambitious leader, Yang Jie actually wanted to achieve something significant.

However, he felt that he had set his expectations too high.

After all, the mobile wireless reading base mainly focuses on text-based services, which does not generate much value.

Unlike Mobile Dream Network.

It has software, ringtones, music, news, entertainment, games, and more.

to be frank.

The Mobile Wireless Reading Base is just one of the services offered by Mobile Dream Network.

It could even be described as a very small business.

It's just a matter of thinking about it from a different perspective.

If the mobile wireless reading business is so large, it's impossible to entrust it to a single local mobile operator.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Jie felt somewhat disheartened.

"Mr. Yang, this is the data from our mobile wireless reading service over the past period."

The general manager of the mobile wireless reading base handed Yang Jie a form and said, "Currently, through a series of operational methods such as free data usage and SMS advertising, our mobile wireless reading base has rapidly exceeded 2000 million users. At the same time, the number of paying users has reached more than 500 million."

"Among them, the best performing work is 'Battle Through the Heavens' written by Qi Maobuyang. Currently, this book sells 5 RMB per day, and as of today, the total sales of this work have exceeded 50..."

"50?"

Yang Jie, who was initially somewhat disheartened, was now in a state of low spirits.

I heard that the sales of the book "Battle Through the Heavens" reached over 50.

His hand trembled, thinking he had misheard.

"Has Battle Through the Heavens surpassed 50 in total sales?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang."

"So, the author gets 10?"

"That should be the case according to our revenue-sharing agreement."

How many days has our mobile reading platform been online?

"10 days, to be precise, only a little over 9 days."

"Good, good, good."

Yang Jie said "good" three times in a row.

He stood up excitedly.

He knew it.

Their mobile wireless reading base service has only been launched in two regions so far.

One is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other is Shanghai.

But even though it was only these two regions, he gave Yang Jie a pleasant surprise as soon as he arrived.

This is true in both regions.

If we can connect all regions of the country later.

The sales of that book.

Tsk tsk.

"He truly is a genius writer."

In his heart, Yang Jie thought to himself.

When he heard that Chen Yang had come, he made a special trip to see him.

It's not that Chen Yang has any special background.

The key point is that Yang Jie knows this.

Recently, there has been a lot of close attention and news coverage of Chen Yang from higher authorities.

Others wouldn't notice anything.

How could those of them, who are part of the system, not know this?

"Great! This month, all staff members in the Mobile Wireless Reading Base Department will receive double their bonuses."

Yang Jie addressed the crowd.

Simultaneously.

Yang Jie, however, was planning to launch the nationwide mobile reading service as soon as possible.
