After dinner, Sun Quan returned to the study on the second floor and turned on the computer. A new book had just been put on the shelves today. Even if he was calm, he was still concerned about the subscription results of this new book.
Because this is not only about his face, but also about the next plan of Xianyu Film and Television.
There's nothing to say about face. If he doesn't want to become the laughing stock of the industry, he has to achieve results worthy of being a platinum author when his new book is put on the shelves. Otherwise, he will definitely lose face.
And Xianyu Film and Television’s next plan...
Why did he choose the theme of urban dads for his new book this time?
If he just wanted to make money from electronic subscriptions and publishing, he could write about fantasy or fairy tales, and it would also be convenient to sell game adaptation rights!
In contrast, it is almost impossible to sell the game adaptation rights for urban dad stories.
Another purpose for deciding to write "This Daddy Is Unusual" was not to adapt this book into a web series, or even a formal TV series?
But if you want to adapt this book into a TV series and be expected by the audience, the subscription data of this book at Qidian must be beautiful enough, and the reputation must be acceptable.
This is the premise!
Without this premise, even if he invested in the filming of this book himself, there would be nothing to look forward to when it was finally broadcast.
At this time, it was already 12:34.
Sun Quan turned on the computer and boarded the starting point skillfully. When he boarded the author's backstage, he saw that the average number of chapters subscribed to "This Daddy is Unusual" at this time was 6122.
The number of subscribers to the first paid chapter has reached 7142.
When he went downstairs to have lunch, his subscription data had almost doubled.
According to his experience, although the increase in 24-hour initial subscription data will continue to decline as time goes by, he estimates that the highest subscription number for a single chapter in the first hour of release should be over 10,000.
In three hours...or four hours, it might break 20,000.
At 12 o'clock tonight, the chances of breaking through 30,000 should be quite high.
If the subscription data at these three time points are not much different from his estimate, at 12 noon tomorrow, the number of subscribers should be increased by about 10,000.
40000……
The current number of collectors of this book is more than 420,000. If the first order number is more than 40,000, the first order ratio will be around 10:1. Such a first order ratio is not ugly, and the first order number of 40,000 is also eye-catching enough.
, can hold up the scene.
The rest depends on how much the book's subscription data differs from his estimated number in the next 23 and a half hours.
Keeping this in mind, I will definitely not be able to find the coding status for a while.
Sun Quan thought: On the day it is released, no matter what, he should go to QQ and show up in the book fan group, and he should also reply to the authors and book fans who sent him private messages.
I have to reply to a lot of people again...
Sun Quan gave a bitter smile and logged into qq.
I don’t know why, but the older he gets, the more lazy he becomes at chatting with others, especially when chatting with a bunch of people at the same time.
And every time a new book is put on the shelves, a bunch of people will come to chat with him.
Sure enough, as soon as I logged in to QQ, Didi's new message alert kept ringing, and the QQ avatar kept flashing.
Peers, book fans, editors...
A bunch of private messages were sent to him, and there were also people in his dozen or so book fan groups who liked him and asked him to join the group to pick up guests.
In the author group, some people also called him.
Sun Quan patiently replied one by one. Someone asked him why it was not on the shelves yet. Well, such a question was asked before 12 noon today. There were many people asking him this question.
Someone asked him how much his current subscription data is? He asked for a screenshot. There were colleagues and book fans who asked him this question, and they all asked after 12 o'clock.
Others asked him, how long will this book be? When will it be finished?
The person who asked him this question was probably scared because he finished his last book "Dead Man's Last Wish" early, so he wanted his guarantee!
There were four people who asked him this question. Sun Quan thought about it and gave an answer - "It should not exceed two million words."
This is the truth, he didn't fool anyone.
He still loves to write online articles, but he no longer likes to write a book that is too long.
If it were a fantasy or fairy tale, it would be fine if it was longer, but if it was an urban novel, he felt it would be too long and not interesting.
The biggest problem is that the plot is repetitive.
And he doesn't want to earn subscription money and publishing fees by repeating the plot. He would rather finish the book immediately when it's time to finish it, and then start a new book.
Time passes quietly.
Unknowingly, Sun Quan accompanied him and chatted with the book fans for more than two hours, and it was past two o'clock in the afternoon.
He suddenly received a new message on QQ, which was sent by his wife Yuan Shuiqing.
--"Are you there?"
It was abnormal to receive a message from her at this time. The couple usually had video calls after dinner.
But that’s not important. Since your wife is looking for you, just reply quickly!
"Um"
Sun Quan replied with one word.
It's not that he doesn't love her anymore, it's just that people in more than a dozen book fan groups keep asking him questions, and with his hand speed, it's a bit difficult to reply.
too busy.
——"The children are asleep. I asked mom to watch. I'm in your study now. Let's have a video chat?"
The number of words written by Yuan Shuiqing is relatively large.
Sun Quan was a little surprised. Not only was she looking for him at this time, but she also had a video call?
"OK!"
With that said, he took the initiative to send out a video invitation.
The video was quickly connected. Sun Quan was busy saying goodbye to the book fans in the book fan group. He glanced at Yuan Shuiqing in the video and asked with a smile: "Miss me?"
Yuan Shuiqing laughed when he heard this, "Is the new book on the shelves?"
Sun Quan hummed.
Yuan Shuiqing: "How about subscribing? Is it okay?"
It turns out that she remembered that his new book would be on the shelves today and came here to care about his grades?
Sun Quan thought he had guessed her intention, and he felt very relaxed, "It's not bad, the first order is almost 20,000."
"Oh, good! It's good. By the way, Ah Quan, I heard some news today. I wonder if you have heard it."
Yuan Shuiqing, however, diverted the topic elsewhere and did not talk much about the topic of new book subscriptions.
Sun Quan was a little surprised. At this time, he had already said goodbye to all the book fans in the book fan group. He frowned and looked at Yuan Shuiqing in the video, "What's the news?"
What news would make her unable to wait until the video call in the evening? And choose to find me at this time?
Yuan Shuiqing: "It's a food delivery company!"
Before Sun Quan could ask, she explained: "Today I was in a group of college classmates and saw someone talking about the food delivery companies that have appeared on the market. One just appeared this year. It seems to be called Meituan.
There is one that was founded relatively early. It seems to have been around for a few years, but it has not developed to our level yet. It is called Ele.me. Ah Quan, I remember you said before that you wanted to start such a food delivery business. At that time, you asked me
I built a food ordering software for you, but later you said that the time was not right and you would develop that business later. What now?
Do you think now is the time?
There are already people ahead of us, if we delay any longer, we will lose too many opportunities."
After speaking, she frowned and looked at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's eyes were a little confused. Meituan and Ele.me were already born?
real or fake?
"Wait a minute! Let me check."
As he said that, he quickly searched the names of these two companies on his browser, and actually found the information about these two companies.
Information online shows that Meituan was founded in May this year.
Ele.me is even earlier, it was born in 2008.
This fact made him speechless for a moment.
Both of these companies have already appeared, especially Ele.me, which was born in 2008. This timing was far beyond his expectation.
He never thought that Ele.me would show up so early.
This was also the main reason why he had not checked online before.
He made a subjectivist error, subjectively believing that due to the development of smartphones and mobile navigation technology, these two food delivery companies would not appear very early.
But the reality slapped him in the face.
Fortunately, Meituan only appeared in May this year.
But Ele.me is a bit too much. It was born in 2008, and at that time, his grandson had only been reborn for two years. At that time, he had gained some fame by writing online articles at Qidian, but 99 Huang Stew
The development of chickens has only just begun.
Therefore, even if he checked online and found that Ele.me had appeared, he did not have the funds or strength to develop the food delivery business and compete with Ele.me for time.
"How's it going? Have you found it?"
Yuan Shuiqing asked him in the video.
"Yes, I found it."
Sun Quan nodded helplessly, he was really helpless.
Yuan Shuiqing: "Then what do you think? Do we want to do that food delivery business again?"
Sun Quan couldn't give her an answer to this question for a while, because he was also thinking about this question. Ele.me and Meituan had already appeared on the scene first. Is it still too late for him to start a food delivery business now?
He knew that he was not a business wizard. If he had not relied on the advantage of being a reborn prophet, it would have been difficult for him to grow in business.
The competition in the food delivery business is very cruel.
If you can't kill your competitors, it may be difficult to make money.
He remembered that several well-known food delivery companies in the original time and space spent a lot of money during the most intense period of competition. In order to compete for users, they directly subsidized users with real money.
Moreover, this kind of company must either not do it, or if it wants to do it, it must be big and spread its stalls across the country. Every large, medium and small city in the country, including small counties, must spread its stalls. Otherwise, there will be no business.
Ways to compete with those national chain food delivery giants to compete for the market.
And this determines that if you want to start this kind of business, the amount of capital you need to invest must not be small.
Just think about it: How many cities are there at the county level or above in the country?
How much money would it cost to set up branches in every city?
What's more, you still have to advertise, and if you want to compete with those food delivery giants in my memory, you will definitely have to spend a lot of money on advertising.
Otherwise, there is no way to win the battle.
And speaking of funding…
Although his grandson is now rich, compared to most people in the country, his net worth is extremely rich.
However, compared with the giant companies in his memory, his net worth is really nothing.
However, he would not be willing to give up this business completely.
Firstly, he knows this industry, and if he does well, he can make a lot of money.
If it can be listed on the market, his net worth may skyrocket dozens of times, or even hundreds of times.
In addition to making money, he also has another advantage when doing food delivery business.
That is the 99 Braised Chicken in his name.
At present, his company has branches and franchise stores almost all over the country, most of which are franchise stores. Since he decided to package and sell the franchise rights of the entire city, the profits of his 99 Braised Chicken have skyrocketed.
, and the main thing that has skyrocketed is the franchise fee.
At the same time as the franchise fee has skyrocketed, there are also franchise stores.
It can be said that most of his current net worth is from selling franchise rights.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that with so many branches and franchise stores springing up all over the country, it will be much easier for him to start a food delivery business here.
At least, those branches and franchise stores all over the country can help him quickly establish food delivery branches all over the country.
As long as he has enough funds.
Can……
He is a little afraid that he doesn't have enough money now.
The country is so big, how many branches should be built?
How many food delivery people need to be hired?
"what is your opinion?"
Sun Quan, who was undecided for a moment, asked Yuan Shuiqing.
Yuan Shuiqing frowned, "Are you asking me? I can't make up my mind. After all, according to what you said before, if we do this business, the investment will definitely not be small. Well, with our current funds, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
It's easy to say, but if it fails... we won't be able to afford the loss!"
Sun Quan nodded silently.
This is also what he is worried about.
After pondering for a while, he looked at Yuan Shuiqing again and said, "My dear, that's it! I'll give you a task."
"What mission?"
Yuan Shuiqing was very curious.
Sun Quan: "You have people try to contact Ele.me and Meituan to see if they are willing to accept our investment. If they are willing to let us invest, we will not do it ourselves and directly invest some money in this company."
Two companies…”
Yuan Shuiqing frowned, "What if they are not willing to accept our investment?"
Sun Quan still couldn't make up his mind, so he said hesitantly, "Let someone contact them first to check! We'll talk about it when the results come out."
"Okay! Okay! Then I'll have someone contact me later."
After a pause, she changed the subject, "By the way, grandpa is almost 80 years old. My aunt and others said they are planning to celebrate his 80th birthday. Can you take time to go back then?"
"Eighty birthday?"
Sun Quan was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Then I definitely have to go! It's your grandpa! It's such a big birthday again. When is the specific date and time determined?"
Seeing that he promised to go, Yuan Shuiqing smiled.
"It seems that the specific time has not been determined yet. It should be set on grandpa's birthday! Don't worry, I will ask my aunt later. I will tell you when the date is confirmed, okay?"
Sun Quan hummed, "Okay!"
…
After chatting with his wife for more than half an hour and ending the video call, Sun Quan refreshed the author's background.
