A major event recently occurred at Qidian.com.

Several editors and chief editors at Qidian were poached by Perfect World.

This news immediately caused a huge stir in the industry.

"I heard that A-Xie was poached by Perfect Company."

"Yeah, A-Xie was my editor-in-chief at Qidian. He actually went to Perfect World."

"I had heard that Perfect World was going to enter the online literature field, but I didn't expect them to make such a big move right away."

"I just don't know if they'll poach any top talents."

"I don't know, it's very difficult to dig up Qidian now."

"Not necessarily. What if we dig up the Unyielding God?"

"It's no use. Back then, the website next door poached all the top talents, but it still didn't take off."

"Different."

The industry is buzzing with discussion.

Insiders often say, "In terms of status, Xue Dada's status at Qidian was similar to that of Bu Yangshen. However, the online literature market was still very small at that time, and Xue Dada's works were far less influential than Bu Yangshen's. You should know that Bu Yangshen's works have basically all broken into the mainstream, and broken into a much larger circle."

"Girl, if that's the case... how much would Perfect Company have to pay to poach Bu Yang Shen?"

"That's not something we can concern ourselves with."

……

"Bu Yangda, do you have time to come and visit Qidian recently?"

On QQ, Raccoon sent Chen Yang a message.

Chen Yang said, "Uh, I'd like to go too, but I don't have time. I'm preparing for my new book."

"You really are running two accounts simultaneously."

"It's all been told."

"Is he going to start another new school of thought?"

"it should be OK."

"sharp."

The raccoon gave Chen Yang a thumbs up.

After what happened last time, she no longer dares to doubt Chen Yang.

Although she still couldn't believe it.

Is it so easy to create this style?

According to their editors.

Although some exceptionally talented individuals are indeed able to create a new school of thought.

Such as Shenji, Buyangshen, Teacher Zhou Xingwen, including Z University...etc.

but.

as far as I can tell.

They can only create one school of thought.

No author has yet emerged who wants to create a second genre.

Like divine intervention.

Although Yang Shen has many innovations, it cannot be considered to have created a new school of thought.

This is a deeper level of innovation in Eastern fantasy.

but.

Raccoon contacted Chen Yang today not to discuss whether or not to create a new school of thought.

The raccoon continued, "Unremarkable, do you have any suggestions regarding our contract?"

"suggestion?"

Chen Yang was taken aback.

Then, thinking about what had happened in the industry in the past few days, he knew what was going on.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sister Raccoon, are you worried that I'll switch jobs?"

Seeing that Chen Yang had spoken frankly, Raccoon also said, "It's impossible not to worry. Any website would be tempted by a big shot like you. Of course, Bao Ye also told me. Regardless of whether anyone comes to you, as long as they can offer the terms, we can offer them too."

"OK, with Bao Ye saying that, I won't jump."

Chen Yang reassured the raccoon.

The same sentence as before.

Chen Yang is not a die-hard fan of Qidian.

Although he does have a strong attachment to Qidian.

However, maintaining the relationship is always in the best interests of both the author and the website.

If an author can't make money writing books on Qidian, they have no future.

No amount of emotional appeal will change anything.

But precisely from the very beginning, from the time he founded the company until now, he has consistently been the best in the industry.

It's no exaggeration to call it an industry benchmark.

Even as others launched numerous challenges against him, Qidian remained unrivaled among them.

of course.

In the present context, Chen Yang has also made significant contributions to this endeavor.

But Chen Yang never boasted about his own achievements.

The starting point is not just Chen Yang's starting point.

He is one of countless authors, a group of great masters, and a group of platinum-level authors.

This even includes the starting point created by a bunch of flops.

……

"Chen Yang, where have you been driving to as soon as get out of class ends lately?"

"Practicing martial arts."

"No way."

"real."

"The school has a gym."

"I meant practicing martial arts, not fitness."

"Isn't practicing martial arts a form of exercise?"

"Uh... in a sense it is, but... it's complicated to explain, I'll explain it to you later."

After waving goodbye to Li Hanxiao, Chen Yang continued on to the Shangwu Xingyi Quan Gym.

"Master, I'm here again."

"Same as always, start by practicing horse stance for half an hour."

Ok.

Chen Yang's learning pace has been neither fast nor slow these past few days.

He has talent, yet he doesn't.

Why do I say that?

From the perspective of learning martial arts, Chen Yang's age of 19 is somewhat too old.

All the martial arts masters had been practicing martial arts since childhood.

Even some martial arts stars started learning martial arts from a young age.

If you don't learn martial arts from a young age, but only learn it after you've reached adulthood.

While it's not impossible to learn, unless you're extremely talented, it's very difficult to achieve great success.

Of course, there is another one.

Old Zhou also said that Chen Yang was not a virgin.

If it's a child, they can be a little older.

Chen Yang retorted, "How do you know I'm not a virgin? I am a virgin, okay?"

Old Zhou rolled his eyes at Chen Yang: "We're all men. If I didn't have this much insight, how would I be able to open a martial arts school?"

Ok.

It was all caused by lust.

He could have become a martial arts master, but now it seems he can only become a thug in the martial arts world.

But thugs are fine too.

Being able to handle three or four opponents after practicing martial arts is already quite remarkable.

of course.

They say Chen Yang is talented.

This is because Chen Yang has done a very good job of studying the theories of various boxing styles.

This earned Lao Zhou's praise.

After all, in this day and age, let alone studying boxing theory, some people can't even understand it.

This also led Lao Zhou to try to explain more martial arts theory when teaching Chen Yang.

Old Zhou was especially pleased that Chen Yang could chime in with a few words.

To know.

He has been practicing martial arts for many years and has run a martial arts school for decades.

But there are very few people who can discuss martial arts theory with him.

He had a wealth of martial arts theories, but he felt uncomfortable keeping them bottled up with no one to share them with.

Although Chen Yang doesn't have much of a foundation, he's quick to learn and can keep you company.

They also pay tuition fees and buy small gifts from time to time.

If this is kept too secret, then it's not befitting of a teacher.

This was exactly what Chen Yang wanted.

Chen Yang didn't practice martial arts to become a martial arts master.

He can't learn it anyway.

Even if he could learn it, Chen Yang didn't want to.

Practicing martial arts is so tough.

I'd rather write a novel.

Old Zhou would often lecture Chen Yang on a whole host of martial arts theories and the unwritten rules of the martial arts world, which was exactly the kind of writing material he could find anywhere else.

……

Perfect Company acts very quickly.

Amidst much anticipation, they launched a brand new website, a certain Hengwang.

It's different from the website next door.

The neighboring website came and immediately poached our employees.

At one point, they dug so deep that the wall was about to collapse.

But later, someone discovered that this method of poaching seemed to have a surprisingly good starting point. After that, the rival website rarely poached people anymore.

They probably learned from the mistakes of the website next door.

This time, the website did not poach talent on a large scale when it launched.

At least none of the well-known top players, including Platinum players, have left.

However, they introduced a very attractive buyout policy.

Yes.

The buyout policy has made a comeback.

This buyout was originally done by the website next door.

The advantage of a buyout is that authors only need to write the book and don't need to worry about its performance.

You earn as much as the number of words you write.

All of a sudden.

The website next door poached a bunch of top authors by buying out their works.

However, the previous buyouts were only available to top-tier authors; ordinary authors were not eligible.

However, a certain online game platform launched a buyout program for all users.

The so-called "people's whole nation" refers to this.

Whether you're a pro or a complete failure.

If your new book is well-written, after 20,000 words have been submitted for editorial review, you will be offered a buyout price.

The lowest price is 15 yuan per thousand words, with no upper limit.

With such a policy in place.

The entire industry was in an uproar.

"15 yuan per thousand words! If I write 1 words a day, that's 4500 yuan a month. I'm tempted."

"I only make a maximum of 2000 yuan a month at Qidian, and even that's not guaranteed. If I could get a buyout at 15 yuan per thousand words, I could make 4500 yuan a month. Just thinking about it makes me excited."

"It's not just 4500 yuan. I heard that there's also a full attendance bonus for the buyout. I think it's 600 yuan. If you add that 600 yuan, then it's 5000 yuan."

No wonder people aren't excited.

The 4000 yuan in 08 is completely different from the 4000 yuan in 25.

In 08, the average salary was around 2000 yuan, and many people earned less than 2000 yuan.

Often, the two would compare salaries.

One person received 2000 yuan, and the other received 2300 yuan.

It seems that the two are only 300 yuan apart.

But in that era.

300 yuan is a considerable sum for ordinary people.

Even for some single people.

He would say, "I can use 300 yuan for a month."

and so.

When you usually only earn 2000 yuan in royalties, suddenly you have the opportunity to earn more than 4000 yuan, or even 5000 yuan?
Which author wouldn't be excited?
Not to mention ordinary authors, even some friends who had previously earned 5000 yuan in royalties writing novels on Qidian were excited.

after all.

When it comes to writing books, failure is the norm.

What if the next book flops?

If I could get a buyout right now, that would be better than being a god.

and.

For some talented authors.

Their buyout price is not 15 per thousand words.

It could be 20, 30, or even 40 or 100 per thousand words.

……

"Chen Yang, someone is looking for you."

a new day.

Chen Yang was preparing to go practice his boxing.

At that moment, someone in the class shouted something.

Chen Yang walked out of the classroom and saw that it was A Xie.

Chen Yang naturally recognized A Xie.

When I attended the annual meeting last year, all the editors greeted Chen Yang.

But I didn't expect it.

Axie actually jumped to a certain horizontal line.

of course.

If you consider editing as a job, then changing jobs is normal.

Chen Yang didn't have any different opinion about A Xie.

Upon seeing A-Xie, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Congratulations, A-Xie, you've become the editor-in-chief."

Yes.

A Xie is the editor-in-chief at Qidian.com.

But after jumping to a certain position, he became the editor-in-chief.

This is a promotion.

Such a job change is very appealing to many editors.

"Don't make fun of me, I'm not famous. Many people in the industry are cursing me and saying I betrayed my former employer."

"There's no such thing as betrayal. Can an employer force an employee to never switch jobs?"

Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, A Xie was secretly delighted.

Chen Yang knew that A Xie would think that way.

He actually keeps things separate and distinct.

Changing jobs is no problem at all.

It's not just editors who can skip this step without any problem; authors can skip it as well.

But here's the thing.

Chen Yang has no intention of jumping.

"Ah Xie, I'm sorry, I'll probably stay at the starting line."

Although A-Xie didn't say it.

But if someone comes all the way to find you, it's not because they have nothing better to do.

“Don’t be arrogant, please consider it. As you know, Perfect World’s strength is no weaker than Shengda’s. Moreover, Perfect World’s game development capabilities are even stronger than Shengda’s. If you come, Perfect World can guarantee that the next game will be adapted directly from your work. In addition, we can offer a buyout fee of 10 yuan per word.”

A-Xie immediately put forward his conditions.

Chen Yang was also somewhat shocked by A Xie's terms: "Ten yuan per word, Perfect World is really willing to pay that much?"

10 yuan per word.

If a book has 300 million words, that's 3000 million.

If I write 500 million words, that would be 5000 million.

This is equivalent to offering 3000-5000 million to poach Chen Yang.

Don't assume that Chen Yang can earn around 3000 million a year now.

But this is only the best-case scenario.

It's hard to find another book like this that's a phenomenon.

If one does not have a clearer understanding of what will happen in the future.

Such a huge sum of money, 10 yuan per word, would tempt any expert.

"Of course I'd be willing to go to such lengths to recruit you."

Ah Xie also said, "Perfect timing, weren't you planning to start two new books? We came specifically for your new book."

"No, weren't you guys not planning to poach the top talent?"

Chen Yang found it strange.

He recalled that they had launched a buyout strategy some time ago.

This strategy attracted a number of authors to join the project.

Unexpectedly, Ah Xie still came to dig him up.

A Xie smiled wryly: "Buying out a book isn't a long-term solution. Besides, if a website doesn't have a mainstay, which reader would make a special trip over there? Wouldn't it be better to read books on Qidian?"

"really."

Chen Yang nodded.

"Let's find a place to discuss this in detail, instead of boasting."

Ah Xie said.

However, Chen Yang shook his head: "Thanks, A-Xie, but I would like to sit with you for a while, even if we don't talk about anything else, just chatting is fine. However, I know why you came here today. I had already planned that I wouldn't leave Qidian. So, I won't take up any more of your time."

"Please consider this, I won't boast about it."

"I've already thought it through."

"Don't make it big."

"Let's go. If we're just chatting, I'll buy you a drink."

"Thank you, but I'm afraid I'm not worthy of such an honor. Since you've refused, I need to go back and report immediately."

Seeing that Chen Yang refused without any room for negotiation, A Xie knew that even if they sat down any longer, they wouldn't be able to talk anything further.

"I have urgent business to attend to, so I won't see you off."

With a wave, Chen Yang saw A Xie off.

A certain online game platform is pretty good.

just.

If Chen Yang's new book were placed on a certain platform...

Perhaps he will even create his own school of thought.

However, its impact was far too weak.

He shook his head.

Chen Yang didn't want to think about it.

Despite the many years of online literature, Qidian will continue to face challenges in the future.

Writing books is still more important.

Think about it.
