Chenhui Building, Chinese website on the eighth floor.
"Director Zhang, according to statistics, Fengyun Chinese Network's daily IP has exceeded the 2.4 million mark, and it is still rising sharply." The secretary stood in front of the supervisor Zhang Wenyang with sweat on his face, and said carefully: "And that
Bian has updated more than 3,500 books in three days, and is about to catch up with us. Manager Zhang, look at this..."
"This Fengyun Chinese Network must have expert help." Zhang Wenyang tapped his fingers on the desk surface and said slowly: "Those six major strategies have obviously captured key parts. We didn't think of this before. It seems that
The enemy is very strong this time."
"Yes, Director Zhang, what should we do then? Should we find a way to fight back?" The secretary said anxiously: "Sitting and waiting like this is not an option! How about we ask the young master?"
"Well, does the young master know about this now?" Zhang Wenyang asked.
"I probably don't know yet, Director Zhang, what do you mean..." the secretary asked.
Zhang Wenyang touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Let's report it first and see what the young master means and whether there are any instructions."
"OK!"
…
"Dali, the news just came from the bookstore. The number of novels updated on the Fengyun Chinese website has skyrocketed in recent days." Tang Muxin looked at Hong Dali, who was lying on Li Nianwei's lap and was about to take a nap, and said anxiously: "Now within three days
The number of updated novels has exceeded 3,000, and our Destination Chinese website now only has about 4,000 novels. If this continues, we will lose!"
"Oh... Then it's not a big problem, it's fine..." Hong Dali said listlessly, "What do I think is a big deal? It doesn't matter..."
"You are really..." Tang Muxin wanted to kick him hard: "Can you stop being so heartless!"
Hong Dali didn't hesitate at all: "No!"
Tang Muxin said angrily: "If you lose, it's 50 million, 50 million! It's not a small number, you will lose everything you won before!"
"I know," Hong Dali turned over and continued to prepare for bed: "Just ask them to figure it out."
"Ahhhh!" Tang Muxin said frantically, "You don't care at all!"
"This book station was originally intended to be used by prodigal people..." Hong Dali muttered, "I don't care whether it makes money or not?"
Tang Muxin was dejected: "Forget it, I'll tell them to find a solution on their own. I'm really defeated by you, you loser!"
"Wrong," Hong Dali held out a finger: "He is a super prodigal!"

"Director Zhang, the young master said, the young master said..." The secretary swallowed hard: "The young master said that we should take care of it."
"Huh..." Zhang Wenyang took a deep breath and said: "It seems that this time is really difficult to handle! Well. Let's do this. You inform the Finance Department to make the latest welfare policy. Since the other party
If we are so willing to spend money, then naturally we have to keep up. We should increase the benefits for authors and give readers a discount on reading books.”
"Okay." The secretary thought for a moment and then asked: "What about the mobile phone reading client?"
"Add a few recommendation positions for mobile reading." Zhang Wenyang thought for a while and said: "For now, let's take a safe policy and leave it alone whether the other party's data is good or not. In short, they can burn money, and we can also burn it.
Money. But we can’t completely learn from each other. In this way, you first go to the finance department to apply for some funds, advertise more, gain popularity, and at the same time go to the online forum to expose the income of the mobile reading client. For the author
For me, income is the most real thing, so go!"
"OK!"

Just when the battle between the Dingmin Chinese website and Fengyun Chinese website was going on, in an inconspicuous corner of the online literary world, something that was not a big deal happened.
On July 24, 2014, a chapter of the fantasy novel "Martial Soul" serialized on Fengyun Chinese website was updated. More than ten hours later, the update was discontinued on July 25, just as readers were anxiously waiting for the next chapter.
At that time, "Martial Soul" updated a single chapter.
The title of the single chapter is "A fantasy dream came to an abrupt end when the author Luoxue died suddenly."
There is only one sentence in the content: "On July 25, 2014, the author Luoxue died suddenly in front of the computer."
Fengyun Chinese website author group——
Author 1: "Have you all heard? Luo Xue, the buyout writer of our website, died suddenly in front of the computer. How sad!"
Author 2: "I heard about it. Oh, who would have thought that this person would disappear after saying no. He was so fragile."
Author 3: "Speaking of which, I have some friendship with Luoxue. He is a very nice person. When I asked him for a chapter recommendation for my book, which did not do well, he gave it to me without saying anything. Oh, what a pity.
Oh, such a good person..."
Author 4: "The latest news is out, do you want to listen to it?"
Author 1: "Of course, tell me!"
Author 4: "Luoxue's buyout price is one hundred words per thousand, but he was a speed writer and had to type more than 20,000 words every day. His sudden death was due to sheer exhaustion. What a pity."
Author 2: "That's right, but the buyout price of 100 words per thousand words is not low. Why is he working so hard?"
Author 4: "Speaking of which, he also takes up all of our website. According to his performance, about 20 words per thousand words is about the same. However, his qualifications are senior. During the merger, the boss above wanted to retain people.
, and offered him a price of one hundred words per thousand words. I heard that he has a disabled father at home, his mother has no income, and he has a younger sister who wants to go to school, so he works hard to make money by coding! What do you think,
One thousand words, 20,000 words a day, 60,000 yuan a month, which is a lot. But this is not enough. He has to treat his father's illness and prepare money for the house for the wedding. He originally spent all this time working hard.
Who knew this would happen, what a pity, alas..."
Author 3: "What a pity. My family must be very sad, right? Is there any comment on the website?"
Author 4: "Not yet. I don't know what the website can do. Let's wait for news."

Tianjing city center, Pailun Office Building, sixth floor, Fengyun Chinese Network Headquarters.
Gomoto Hikaru, Shiraishi Kazuma and others were sitting on the sofa at the headquarters of Fengyun Chinese Network, looking at the documents in their hands.
"Master Wuben," Shiraishi and Ma asked Wubenguang after reading all the documents: "The author of "Martial Soul" Luoxue died suddenly. What are your plans for this matter?"
"It's just an author. If he dies, he dies. His buyout price is not low." Wu Benguang put the document aside casually: "His subscription is not high. We offered him such a high buyout price before.
The price is just to take care of his qualifications. He is not a member of our Japanese empire, so he will die if he dies. I don't plan to waste any more money on him."
"Well, a useless abandoned child." Shiraishi and Ma nodded: "I can only express my regrets."
General Manager Liu of Fengyun Chinese Network stood in front of the two men fearfully and asked cautiously: "What do you two mean about this matter..."
"Downplay it." Shiraishi Kazuma said slowly: "Cancel all subsequent recommendations for his book. I believe this matter will be forgotten soon. Remember, we will make profits in the future. Now we have invested
We have invested a lot of money and we cannot continue like this.”
"Okay...ok..."
…
July 25, 2014 at 9pm.
The novel "Martial Soul" that was being promoted in the category was quietly replaced by another book. The whole process was done without any notice and without attracting anyone's attention.
…
July 26th.
A loyal reader of "Martial Soul" wanted to read the book through the recommended spot as always, but found that the book originally on the recommended spot was actually replaced by another one. After searching for a while, the reader determined that he could not find it.
After that, you can only enter the bookshelf to read - not all readers will read updates on the bookshelf. Obviously, this reader is one of them.
Then soon, he discovered that "Martial Soul" could not be found on the bookshelf.
Within the readership——
Reader: "Do you know what's going on with Wu Po? Why is it down the list of recommendations and can't even be found on the bookshelf? What happened?"
Reader 1: "Wu Po? It seems that the author is dead. It's a pity. It is said that he died suddenly on the keyboard due to overwork. Alas."
Reader 2: "Yes. It's pitiful. I wanted to subscribe to his book as a token of appreciation, but now I can't even search for it."
Reader: "What does the website mean? It doesn't express anything at all?"
Reader 3: "It should be downplayed. It is estimated that everyone will completely forget about this book in a few days. Not many people read it in the first place. It's just the behavior of the website that makes people feel cold. Alas..."
Within the author group——
Author 1: "Have you discovered it? "Martial Soul" is gone and can't be found."
Author 2: "If you don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. It's gone."
Author 3: "Oh, this is not done properly..."

Terminal Chinese website.
"Director Zhang, I heard that a writer at Fengyun Chinese Network whose pen name was Luoxue died suddenly in the past two days. Do you think we should take any action?" the secretary asked Zhang Wenyang.
"Writer died suddenly?" Zhang Wenyang touched his chin: "This is indeed quite tragic. You should ask the young master, he should have some ideas. Our young master is very kind-hearted and I believe he will take action.
Let’s not interfere yet.”
"OK."
…
Chenhui Building, Ninth Floor Caiwei Film and Television.
"Oh? You said a writer died suddenly? This is really a sad thing." Hong Dali touched his chin: "Can you contact the author's family?"
The secretary shook his head and said: "The contact information is only available on the Fengyun Chinese website, and we can't get in touch at the moment."
"Is that so..." Hong Dali thought for a moment and took out his cell phone: "I'll ask!"
The call was dialed soon, and Hong Dali asked: "Hello, Master Wuben, hehe, I want to ask, do you have Luoxue's contact number?"
"Oh? Master Dali, do you have any ideas?" Wu Benguang sneered: "I do have your contact information."
"Okay, let's do this. I'll buy the copyright of his book, and you set a price." Hong Dali said.
"Young Master Dali wants to buy the copyright of his book?" Wu Benguang was delighted. Hong Dali, a prodigal son, actually came to his door. At this time, he didn't wait until he said, "One million."
As a result, Hong Dali nodded directly without thinking: "Okay!"
