Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 278 The winds of change are blowing again in the world of Chinese online literature. (Please subscribe)
time flies.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's 2013 now.

During these three years.

Chen Yang's new book "Sword Comes" has finished updating.

It's about what we expected.

As for "Back to My Youth," it ended very early, with a total of 80 words.

There was still more to write.

But if I write too much later on, it will involve some trade secrets.

Chen Yang isn't stupid; he knows what he can write, what he can show off, and what he can't write.

However, some things cannot be written.

Chen Yang didn't completely ignore it either.

We have entered the smartphone era.

Chen Yang didn't just write books; he also used his judgment of the future to make plans in advance.

Chen Yang also got involved in matters that could lead to future strangulation.

how to say.

There are still risks involved.

It also took up some of Chen Yang's energy.

However, Chen Yang felt somewhat unhappy when he thought about how many aspects of China would be strangled by others in the future.

However, Chen Yang's most important task is still writing books.

Over the past three years.

The ever-changing landscape of online literature has been quite an eye-opener for those in the industry.

It was in the first month of 2013.

SkyNet suddenly broke the news that the original team of Xiang Shengda had resigned.

This shocked the entire industry.

"My God, Sword, Captain... they've resigned."

"Seems to be."

"My God, the original founding team has all left."

Everyone was stunned.

To know.

Online literature is actually not that old.

It hasn't been many years, but in those years it has experienced countless earthquakes.

First, there was the earthquake caused by the neighboring website digging up its foundation in 06.

They almost dug down the starting point.

Then came the emergence of Yokomura in 2010, which caused another upheaval.

Unexpectedly.

Now in 2013, an even more devastating earthquake than the previous two struck, and the original team has given up.

"Have they quit?"

"Ah."

Where are they planning to go?

"do not know."

These days.

Countless gossip stories were flying everywhere.

"Actually, there were hidden dangers all along."

"what's the situation?"

"The root of all this is still Katsuda."

"not understand."

"Shengda has been on a downward trend in recent years. Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key thing is that Chen Tianqiao seems to have lost interest in the underworld and is preparing to leave it."

"What do you mean?"

"There are rumors that Brother Tianqiao may be selling their gaming business."

"Ok."

This said.

Many people have come to their senses.

Why did Baojian and the others leave?

Do I need to say anything more?

If there is strong support from Shengda behind the scenes, then this is nothing.

The crucial point is that Shengda doesn't want to play anymore.

Think about it.

In this era of capital games, what's next?

"Breaking news: It seems that Baojian and his team have resigned, and a group of other editors have also resigned following Baojian."

"Is this everyone leaving?"

"It wasn't everyone; 9% of the original editors left with Baojian and the others."

"Mom."

Another sensational piece of news.

"I have a feeling that Baojian and his team are planning to start a new site."

"It's a certainty, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to pull all the editors away."

"But how do we do it? Although the sword is very powerful, we lack funds and a platform. How do we proceed?"

"If you lack funds, someone will be willing to provide them; if you lack a platform, someone will be willing to build it. In this world, it all comes down to whether you have talent or ability. As long as you have talent and ability, a series of funds will come to you on their own."

The next few days.

A series of further messages have emerged.

It is said that a number of domestic giants, such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, NewWolf, NetEase, etc., have contacted Baojian and his team one after another.

finally.

After another series of competitions.

Baojian and his friends chose the penguin.

"Big Penguin has won, and the original team will soon be making a comeback."

"The Three Kingdoms Kill game is now officially open."

"What Three Kingdoms Kill? It's Four Kingdoms Kill now."

"Yes, and there's this new station that hasn't been launched yet."

"Hey, anyone planning to go to the new station?"

"How do I get there? Nobody has contacted me."

did not expect.

It's time to come.

After finishing "Sword Comes", Chen Yang took a break for a while.

Simultaneously.

He also focused some of his energy on the areas he had previously planned to develop.

not bad.

Although Chen Yang had some reservations when he was making the plans.

He didn't know if he had the ability to change anything.

Fortunately.

With his foresight regarding future generations, Chen Yang was ahead of others in many aspects.

This also allowed Chen Yang to accomplish something that many people didn't even care about at the time.

……

"Anyone going to the new station?"

"I'm tempted to go, but I feel uncertain about it."

“I have some too. The old team is still reliable, but how can a new website compare to the old one?”

"Have any of the other big names left?"

"There is no news at the moment; it's kept very confidential, and no one has leaked any information."

undoubtedly.

The departure of the old team has had the biggest impact on the authors.

The discussion among authors in the field is in full swing.

Some say that with Tencent's backing and an established team, it should have good prospects.

Some people say...

Penguin entered the market too late; if it had entered a few years earlier, it might have been able to succeed.

However, the old site has too many advantages, and the old team can't possibly beat the original site.

Correct.

Even if the old website was created by the same team, they may not be able to create an exact replica.

of course.

The biggest question here is that many people are asking which authors will be moving to the new site.

Yes.

Poaching talent is definitely the best strategy.

On online literature platforms.

No matter which website wants to stand out, poaching talent is essential.

"I think the old team will definitely poach the author."

"Some top authors will definitely leave, but we don't know who they will be."

Will there be any platinum authors?

"It's hard to say. It might happen, or it might not. We'll see when the time comes."

……

"Captain, how's the communication with the authors going?"

"I've contacted most of the authors. Some agreed, some didn't."

"That's normal. After all, there are too many uncertainties with a new site, and it's understandable that some authors are unwilling to leave."

"Tang San, where are Tomato and the others?"

The captain shook his head.

Baojian said with some regret, "I can understand."

"However... Bu Yang Shen may have some intentions."

the captain said.

The sword thought he had misheard: "Not a god?"

"You can't contact Yang Shen anymore?"

“I mentioned it to him, but I didn’t ask him to come over. I just conveyed that general idea.”

The captain explained.

Well, how should I put it?

Facing Chen Yang, the captain had no idea how to begin.

From a rational point of view...

they think.

Regular authors can come to them.

After all, they can get a relatively good buyout price.

However, for some top authors, coming here may not be the best choice.

Especially those at the Central Plains Five White level.

So Tang San, Tomato, and the others... didn't come.

The captain and Baojian didn't blame them at all.

They cannot tie the future of these authors to their fate.

What if a large number of authors are dragged into this situation, and then a bunch of them die along with them?
Such a thing.

They had figured it out three years ago.

Therefore, Baojian did not tell Chen Yang about this.

one left.

Bao Jian really didn't know how to start the conversation.

At Chen Yang's level.

He couldn't offer Chen Yang any terms that would tempt him.

It's impossible to poach talent without offering any conditions.

Otherwise, how would people transfer stations?

Everyone knows that switching platforms will result in the loss of existing fans.

You mean money?
Chen Yang is richer than them.

Resources.

Chen Yang's resources are simply terrifying. He is a representative figure in online literature, and even the old website had to rely on Chen Yang to find resources.

Want money but no money.

There are no resources available.

How could I possibly ask that?

Upon hearing the captain say that Chen Yang was interested, Bao Jian was so excited he almost shouted, "Did God Chen Yang really agree?"

If their new site digs up the unseen god.

Baojian really dared to compete with the old website he created.

"Bu Yang didn't say anything, but he replied with 'um...' and that was it."

The captain continued, "But I'm not sure. After all, I really don't know what kind of contract we signed with Bu Yangshen or what resources we promised him."

"Good, good, good. Captain, you've done a great job by replying to Bu Yangshen."

The sword clapped excitedly.

he knows.

Chen Yang was definitely not interested in any of Tencent's so-called resources.

That's why he said that.

That's because they valued the unity and dedication of their old team of editors.

……

end of June.

The new station is slowly showing signs of emerging.

A website called Genesis appeared before the eyes of people in the industry.

However, this website has only just been created.

It's said that the domain names were just bought for over 100,000 yuan.

This excited many authors.

This means that the new station has been launched.

At the same time.

Some of my author friends have also revealed a little bit of the inside story.

"Everyone, I might be moving to a new station in a few months."

"Holy crap, it's the old team's new site."

"Yes."

"congratulations."

"Thank you. But don't congratulate me so quickly. I don't know how the new site is going. But the old team has good character and is backed by Tencent, so the resources should be good. It may not be as good as the old site, but it's an opportunity for us authors."

"Hmm, we can give it a try. But no matter what, the old site is built by the old team, and the new site is still better than the site next door or other places."

At the same time.

More and more news is coming in about the new station.

"Let me spill the beans. The new site is launching in about a month, and the old team has definitely poached some authors. Most of them are mid-tier authors, but there are also some top-tier and platinum-level authors. Of course, we don't know exactly who they are yet; we'll only reveal that when the site launches."

"Furthermore, the new site is not just a website; Tencent's resources are no less than the old site. In fact, in some ways, they may even be stronger. I predict that Tencent's entry into the market may be aimed at integrating the entire entertainment industry, which is the pan-entertainment plan that Tencent previously proposed. Now that Tencent has video, publishing, comics, self-produced dramas, Tencent Pictures... then, the most upstream reading website must be established."

"So the old team is their best choice, which is why Tencent spends a lot of money to poach the old team."

……

The opening of the new station is getting closer.

Chen Yang is also writing a new book.

Yes.

Chen Yang has made his decision.

This wasn't something that was done in a short time.

In his previous life, Chen Yang had already made his decision.

correct.

In his previous life, Chen Yang followed the old team to the new station.

Of course.

Chen Yang back then was not the same as he is now.

At that time, Chen Yang was neither a flop nor a top author.

But his writing was decent, so he was invited over.

Chen Yang was invited to go.

To be honest, it was also because the new site offered a fairly good buyout price.

But Chen Yang didn't expect that either.

He was writing at the new station.

A few years later.

But he found out.

The new station, however, launched a counterattack against the old station.

At the end.

Both the new and old websites have become part of Tencent, and the old team has taken over management of Qidian.

This reminded Chen Yang of a joke told by some of his author friends in his previous life.

At that time, Chen Yang and his group went to the new station.

Many long-time users of the site jokingly called Chen Yang a traitor.

When the new site made a comeback, many friends in the industry gave it a thumbs up, praising the old team as loyal.

Ok.

There is actually no distinction between traitors and loyal ministers.

For young authors.

You'll naturally choose whichever website is easiest to write on and whichever website pays you for your writing.

Now, regarding Chen Yang...

The reason he was still willing to go to the new station.

It wasn't because the new site offered him a certain price.

It's also because of the strength and courage of the old team.

Just imagine.

Baojian and the others left.

Almost 9% of the original editors left with them.

How strong is the execution capability of such a team?
In addition, Chen Yang knew about it.

Brother Tianqiao is really retiring from the martial arts world.

one left.

If Tencent can step in, how could he not have the resources?

It's just that people haven't really noticed it yet.

Even Baojian and his team are not entirely sure how effective Penguin's resources will be.

But for Chen Yang...

QQ Bookstore, QQ Zone, QQ Browser, WeChat Reading, QQ Portal, Official Accounts, etc.

In the past, these resources had a name: omnichannel.

A single recommendation across all channels.

Just think about how influential he is.

……

"I'm not a god. My old team is trying to get me to go to the new site. Should I go or not?"

Dangdang sent a message to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang asked, "What do you think?"

"I do not know."

Dangdang frankly said, "I'm somewhat willing to go, but also somewhat afraid to go."

"How to say?"

"The reason I wanted to go was because the buyout price they offered was reasonable."

"Then why don't you dare to go?"

"I'm afraid my book isn't suitable for Penguin."

Chen Yang thought it was perfectly normal for Dangdang to think that way.

Many famous authors in the past did not go, also because of their lack of understanding of the unknown.

Because nobody knows.

Just how much can the penguin and its old team achieve?

This side is stable.

On the other hand, there is some hope, but the risks are also very high.

“Dangdang, if it's Tiger or Thirty-Two, I wouldn't recommend them come. But you, you can go.”

"why?"

"Do you remember how your book became a hit?"

"Wireless reading".

"Correct."

Chen Yang said, "Tencent's resources are similar to those of Wireless Reading."
