Chapter 427 Set sail: ready to go online VIP reading mode (Part 4)
Zheng Ge was stunned when he saw Zhou Zhou lying in front of the computer with his eyes open, clicking the mouse frantically, typing the keyboard with his left hand, and muttering in his mouth.
"Didn't you say you don't come to us within an hour? Really, it's a critical moment. Tell me, what's going on?" Zhou Zhou said without raising his head when he noticed someone coming in.
"Ha! Editor-in-chief Zhou is very busy!"
Zheng Ge said with narrowed eyes.
"ah?"
Hearing this voice seemed familiar, Zhou Zhou raised his head and was speechless.
He glanced at the game characters reluctantly, and did not care about leveling up. He dropped the mouse and said: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xi, why didn't you say a word when you came over? Really, I can go and greet you!"
Look at me...hehe!"
As she said that, she walked aside with a smile and prepared to pour tea.
"Don't worry, let's see what our Editor-in-Chief Zhou is busy with. Hey! Editor-in-Chief Zhou's level is not low! He's level 120, which is awesome." Zheng Ge looked at the computer screen and joked.
What Zhou Zhou is playing is a large-scale online game in this world.
Similar to the Orcs series.
"Hey! Playing... No, I'm not playing, I'm looking for inspiration, yes, looking for inspiration. Looking for inspiration for the next development of our website." It seemed that he had found a good excuse, and Zhou Zhou became more courageous.
Quite a few.
Zheng Ge: "..."
Okay, you, looking for inspiration?
Damn it, looking for inspiration.
You are the editor-in-chief and not the author, so where do you find inspiration?
But he didn't say much. It wasn't a big deal for a chief editor to play games at work, as long as it didn't delay his business. Sometimes, he would also play games to relax after work.
Seeing that Zheng Ge and the others no longer wanted to play games at work, Zhou Zhou chuckled and sat down to pour them tea.
"Um, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xi is here. Do you have any instructions?"
Zhou Zhou said with a smile.
"It's okay, I just came to chat with you. How about it? It's been preparing for a few months. When are you going to launch the VIP paid reading mode?" Zheng Ge asked.
We have been planning to launch a VIP paid reading model for a long time, but we haven’t found the opportunity yet.
Hearing Zheng Ge talking about business, Zhou Zhou became serious, "Mr. Zheng, according to the agreed plan, the VIP paid reading mode will be officially launched on the 31st of this month."
"Well, are you all ready?"
Zheng Ge became serious.
Paid reading is a test for sailing.
If you cannot get through it, you will suffer heavy losses.
In the current Internet literary world, various Internet literature websites are like bamboo shoots after the rain. However, there is currently no one that charges for reading. Obviously, Qihang is going to be the first of its kind this time.
"Don't worry, everything is ready. I have been preparing for the day of the upper-limit VIP mode for the past few months, so there is no big problem." Zhou Zhou said.
Simon smiled and added: "In the past few months, through various surveys, readers have little resistance to paid reading. But even so, some readers may be lost by then."
"Well." Zhou Zhou said, "There are so many online literature platforms now. If we are the only one charging fees, we will definitely be criticized. There will also be a group of readers who are unwilling to pay and leave because of this."
Zheng Ge nodded, the copyright awareness in this world is pretty good, and there is no need to worry about piracy or anything like that.
However, there are currently hundreds of websites, and they are all free to read.
If you set sail for VIP paid reading, you will definitely lose readers and go to other places.
"Don't worry too much, what we have to do is to make good content. As for other websites, once our charging model is successful, other websites will definitely enter the VIP mode one after another. At that time, the competition will be content.
"
In the Internet literature circle, so far, there is no clear profit standard.
The most you can do is accept an advertisement or buy a copyright.
But this profit model cannot last long.
This has led to many experts not being optimistic about this industry.
But if the VIP model succeeds, it will be different.
At that time, online articles will enter the era of VIP reading. Other websites will be no exception.
When all other websites join the VIP paid reading model, readers will have nothing to read for free. At that time, you have to fight for content. Whoever has more authors and rich content will be popular among readers and let readers take the initiative to pay for it.
money reading.
In terms of content and author, Qihang is definitely the leader in the industry.
In terms of number of users, it is also the leader in the industry.
"Yeah! Mr. Zheng is right."
Zhou Zhou nodded.
"Jinqian, give it to me."
Zheng Ge shouted.
Tang Jinqian heard this and handed the bag in her hand to Zheng Ge.
Zheng Ge took it, took out a box, and handed it to Zhou Zhou, "Here, give me your gift."
"Wow!" Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up, "Mr. Zheng, you finally thought of giving me a gift! Wow, I'm so touched." After saying this, she quickly opened the box.
Seeing this, Xi Meng blinked and stared at the box in Zhou Zhou's hand.
Opening the box, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up again.
Inside is a diamond-encrusted version of Xiaocai 2, similar to the one given to Zhao Yutong and the others, but this one is black. Zheng Ge remembers that Zhou Zhou likes black.
Seeing the mobile phone in Zhou Zhou's hand, Xi Meng touched her pocket and saw the mobile phone Zheng Ge had just given her. A smile appeared on her pretty face and she raised her chin slightly, showing that she was in a particularly good mood.
"Wow, so beautiful."
Zhou Zhou blinked his eyes, his face full of surprise.
"Do you like it?" Zheng Ge smiled.
"I like it, I like it so much. Is this Xiaocai 2? I watched the live broadcast of the exhibition and I like it so much." Zhou Zhou said in surprise.
"This is Xiaocai 2, but it is a specially customized model, a gift specially customized for you." Zheng Ge said with his eyes wide open. He did not mention that he had already customized dozens of similar style mobile phones.
But Zhou Zhou doesn’t know!
She thought that Zheng Ge had specially customized it for her, so she was so happy! She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
Seeing his happy look, Zheng Ge coughed awkwardly.
If this girl knew the truth, would she become angry and use Sanda skills on herself?
"Okay, it's just a mobile phone, it has some potential." Zheng Ge said angrily.
Zhou Zhou curled his lips.
"Tell us about the filming of the novel Fairy Sword Love. How is the filming progress so far?" Zheng Ge took a sip of tea and shook his head.
“The shooting went very smoothly!”
Zhou Zhou said, "It is expected to be completed by the middle of the year, and it may be released on October 1st. It is a fairy tale theme, and there are still a lot of special effects to be done in the later stage, and a lot of lens editing, which is very troublesome."
Zheng Ge hummed and started chatting with Zhou Zhou.
The conversation was all about the deeds that happened in the Internet literary circle during this period.
For example, a certain author receives a sky-high reward and becomes a god of online writing.
There is also a forum specially provided for authors in the Internet literary circle.
