When Sun Quan said these words, Vice President Wang frowned and looked at Sun Quan in astonishment.
Obviously, Sun Quan's attitude was completely unexpected.
Can an author, even a platinum author, be so amazing? Do you know who you are talking to?
You are an author under Qidian!
Qidian is affiliated to Shanda Literature! And he is the vice president of Shanda Literature.
How dare you talk to me like that?
Before Vice President Wang came back to his senses, he saw Sun Quan standing up and nodding to Lao Yi, smiling: "Mr. Yi, that's it for today! I have something to do in the company, let's get together later! Okay?"
Lao Yi smiled bitterly, stood up, patted Sun Quan's upper arm, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see you off!"
With that said, he pulled out the chair and pretended to send Sun Quan, Xue Zihan and others out. Vice President Wang watched with helpless eyes, his face looking very ugly.
You can't declare that you're not drunk at this time, right?
In fact, everyone present could see that he was not drunk, otherwise he would not have talked to Sun Quan about investing in "The Last Wish of the Dead" just now.
Sun Quan and others left, and Lao Yi got up and sent them downstairs.
Along the way, Lao Yi apologized to Sun Quan in a low voice and helped Vice President Wang explain. In fact, there was nothing to explain. Both he and Sun Quan knew what was going on.
But if we break up without a word of explanation, the relationship will become stagnant. If we want to find another opportunity to discuss cooperation in the future, I'm afraid there won't be much chance.
Sun Quan had no objection to Lao Yi. He politely said goodbye to Lao Yi at the gate downstairs, and then got into the car with Xue Zihan and others.
Lao Yi stood at the door, keeping a smile on his face and waving goodbye.
See off.
There were footsteps approaching beside him, but Lao Yi did not look back. It was normal for people to come and go at the hotel entrance.
However, the footsteps stopped next to Lao Yi, and Vice President Wang's voice came: "Lao Yi, this kid is so crazy! I really think that his leather bag company was lucky enough to produce a good online drama for one season. He is so awesome.
Competing? Can he not rely on our company for a living? Without our company supporting him, can his new book produce results? If his new book cannot produce results, his leather company will definitely be able to produce good TV series in the future?"
Lao Yi frowned slightly, feeling helpless.
Brother Qiang, the CEO of the head office, whose previous experience had nothing to do with online writing, is now in charge of the life and death of a number of online writing companies, including Qidian. He is a typical layman leading an expert.
Forget it, most of the members of the head office established by Brother Qiang are also laymen.
Including Vice President Wang next to him, he is also an outsider in online writing.
Vice President Wang and CEO Qiang Ge deeply despise Internet articles and Internet article authors. In the past two years, most writers in the industry have felt this.
He, Lao Yi, had a little more contact with these leaders, so naturally he felt deeply about them.
For example: After Brother Qiang came to power, he has been committed to inviting traditional writers to publish books at Qidian. For example, he spent a lot of money to purchase websites such as Under the Banyan Tree, which were on the verge of bankruptcy, and so on.
Maybe in Brother Qiang’s opinion, only traditional literature and literature about pain are real literature and can improve your starting point.
For example, since Brother Qiang came to power, every time Qidian holds an annual author meeting, it tries its best to invite some traditional writers to participate, be guests, and give speeches to Internet writers.
What does that mean?
Before Sun Quan was reborn, he felt ashamed every time he saw such news.
Internet writers like them are usually looked down upon by traditional authors. However, Internet writers have put in countless efforts and efforts. In just a few years, they have completely put those traditional authors at a disadvantage in terms of momentum and popularity.
But as soon as Brother Qiang came on stage and did those few things, he suppressed all Internet writers at the feet of traditional authors.
Are you feeling frustrated?
This reminded Sun Quan of a war that the Qing Dynasty suffered an undefeated defeat. The Qing Dynasty clearly defeated the enemy, but the Qing Dynasty ceded territory and paid compensation.
Do online article authors want to squeeze into the circle of traditional authors?
Sun Quan has never had this idea, and few authors he knows have such an idea. Most people who write online articles just want to join the circle of online articles.
Perhaps to outsiders, online literature and traditional literature are almost the same.
But Sun Quan never thought so.
For example: Just because chickens and ducks both have hair, do we think that chickens and ducks are the same species?
…
Lao Yi sighed, turned around, and smiled bitterly at Vice President Wang, "Mr. Wang, this author is different. His company is very profitable. I heard that his net worth has already exceeded 100 million. Moreover, with his current
With his reputation, even if he doesn't write books on our website, there are still websites outside that are willing to pay high prices to sign him. So, Mr. Wang, if you really want to invest in his online drama this time, your attitude... Haha, can it be a little better?
A little bit?"
Vice President Wang frowned and stared at Lao Yi coldly.
With a sneer on his face.
At this moment, his assistant came forward, handed over a mobile phone, and whispered: "Boss, this is Mr. Hou's number!"
Mr. Hou?
Is it Brother Qiang?
Vice President Wang quickly took the phone.
…
On the way back to the car, Xue Zihan, who was sitting side by side with Sun Quan in the back seat, turned to look at Sun Quan and asked with a smile: "Ah Quan, you are so stubborn! You write a book on someone else's website, how dare you disgrace your leader like this?"
"
Sun Quan smiled.
He was really in a bad mood just now when he didn't answer her immediately.
For a moment, he thought that the new book would not be distributed at Qidian.
As for the new book agreement that was recently signed with Qidian?
His Xianyu Studio has a lot of gunmen, and he can definitely ask the gunmen to prepare a new book and send it to deal with the agreement.
He even thought about setting up his own novel website to distribute his own books.
Of course, these were all impulsive thoughts that had just heated up. By now, his emotions had calmed down and his rationality had returned, and the two thoughts just now were dismissed.
The agreement is indeed easy to deal with, but if a new book written by a gunman is published under his pen name, the consequences will be serious.
At the very least, it will seriously weaken the value of his pen name and greatly disappoint tens of thousands of book fans.
It was not easy for him to cultivate his current pen name. Since his rebirth, how many days and nights, how much hard work, how many words have been spent in front of the computer, how many words have been typed, and how many brain cells have been burned to death, to achieve today's popularity and reputation?
Some people may say: It doesn’t matter if a book’s popularity and reputation decline. As long as he writes the next book himself, it will be enough to restore the popularity and reputation.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
But Sun Quan doesn't think so.
Before and after his rebirth, he had been in the Internet literary circle for about twenty years, and how many great gods had he met?
And in his impression, no matter how famous a great person was before, as long as the popularity and reputation of a certain book are poor, it will be almost impossible to restore the glory later.
This does not mean that every work by a great master must surpass its predecessors. Readers can allow your book to be a little worse or a little worse than the previous books, and the problem will not be big.
But your book can’t be bad!
Once it is recognized by everyone that your book is terrible, your pen name will be almost useless.
I want to return to my previous popularity status... Anyway, Sun Quan has never seen such a great person.
He thinks the strength of the current gunmen in his Xianyu Studio is pretty good.
But that’s just compared to most writers in the online writing industry.
Compared with his Sun Quan, to be honest, he is confident that his works are much better than those gunmen in the studio!
If he didn't have this kind of self-confidence, with his current net worth, he would have stopped writing long ago.
Isn't it good to live the life of a rich man comfortably?
He believed that as long as he used the works of the gunmen in the studio as his own new book, his reputation would definitely explode.
Not a great explosion, but a really bad explosion.
His pen name will really turn him into a laughing stock.
As for...opening an online writing company?
Sun Quan had thought about this idea a few years ago, but reason told him that in the next many years, he would be invincible from the starting point.
Other web sites can only survive in the shadow of Qidian.
Instead of thinking about opening an online writing website by yourself, it is better to think about whether you can earn several billion more in the next few years, and then buy Qidian after the current management team of Qidian leaves Qidian.
He remembered the original time and space. In a few years, he could not remember the specific time. Anyway, he remembered that many members of the current management team of Qidian would leave collectively and start over again to create another online writing website.
The time seems to be just before Shanda Literature is preparing to go public.
This move was like pulling the fire out of the cauldron, instantly severely damaging Qidian's vitality and shattering the listing plan that Brother Qiang had been brewing for several years.
After that, not long after, the entire Shanda Literature was sold.
The originally arrogant Brother Qiang was eliminated.
That was an opportunity to buy the starting point.
But this opportunity was difficult to grasp. Sun Quan vaguely remembered that the entire Shanda Literature was packaged and sold for several billions.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan squinted his eyes and thought carefully. It seems that it has been less than two years since the entire Shanda Literature was sold.
At his current rate of making money, he probably has no hope of winning it.
It seems that even if I am reborn, I will not be able to become that kind of awesome existence...
Sun Quan smiled slightly, but he had no regrets in his heart.
Money is earned endless.
His energy is also limited, and the current stall is already very large. If he continues to spread his stall, he may not have time to write the novel he wants to write.
He still prefers writing novels to doing anything else.
It can be said that he has no ambitions, or that he does not want to make progress and live a new life. He just wants to live a casual life. After making enough money, he should do what he likes, rather than remembering what to make money and do it.
.
If the process of making money is not enjoyable, then what is the point of making more money?
Just to make others think that he is better than Sun Quan?
He doesn't live for others to see.
…
To Sun Quan's surprise, at around 3 p.m. that day, he received a call from Vice President Wang himself. On the phone, Vice President Wang changed his previous attitude and actually apologized to him.
And asked him to have dinner with him.
Could it be that Vice President Wang was really drunk at noon?
When he put down his cell phone, Sun Quan burst into laughter.
