At this time, Li Hui was sitting in the office waiting for Ye Xuan to send the revised contract, and there were giant pandas and other staff in the room.
This contract took half a month to finalize, and many of its terms were formulated based on the lessons learned from Fantasy Alliance Novel Network, which is very beneficial to the author.
At this moment, Li Hui's QQ rang. He clicked on it and saw that it was Ye Xuan who sent him the revised contract version, which he immediately accepted.
Li Hui opened the contract and read it slowly. Some of the insignificant clauses in the front had not been modified. When he saw the rights and obligations section, he was shocked.
"This..." Li Hui thought he was dazzled and immediately rubbed his eyes. When he opened his eyes and looked at it, the clause had not changed.
"Oh my God!" Li Hui couldn't help but exclaimed.
Li Hui has been working in online writing for so many years. He has seen many contracts, but he has never seen such a loose contract for authors.
"Chief Editor, what's wrong?" the giant panda asked quickly.
"The contract revised by Boss is really more lenient to the author than ever before. This is simply beyond my expectation." Li Hui sighed with emotion.
"Thunder Chinese website only needs the electronic version of the author's work, and the copyright period is ten years. After ten years, the contract can be renewed, or the contract can be renewed and the website can be removed."
"The author can voluntarily hand over other copyrights of the work (excluding the electronic version) to the website operation. If the IP is sold, the fee will be divided into 50 and 50. Of course, the author can also operate other copyrights of the work (excluding the electronic version) by himself. If the IP is sold,
All IP and fees will belong to the author."
"Subscriptions, rewards and channel fees on this site are all divided 50/50, and there is no further sharing after deducting operating costs."
…
Li Hui spelled out the terms of the contract one by one. These were all revised by Ye Xuan himself. It can be said that no novel website in the entire online literature world can do this.
Every website exploits and squeezes authors, but Fantasy Alliance Novel Network is more obvious, so that's why it ended. However, Thunder Chinese Network actually did the opposite. I have to say that Ye Xuanzhen is very courageous.
"Wow——"
The staff present were shocked when they heard what Li Hui said.
"This, this is really unbelievable. This kind of contract terms are unprecedentedly loose to the author."
"Yes, what does Boss think? Others are trying to control various copyrights, but Boss does the opposite."
"Yes, editor-in-chief, you'd better call the boss quickly to see if there's anything wrong?"
Li Hui nodded. He was shocked when he saw the revised contract. At the same time, he also wondered whether Ye Xuan had made a mistake.
Soon Li Hui dialed Ye Xuan's phone and said, "Boss, I read the contract you sent. I would like to ask if there is a mistake in the contract?"
"The terms you revised are great for authors, but the restrictions on authors are too loose. If the authors are poached by other websites, we will suffer a lot."
When Ye Xuan heard Li Hui's words, he smiled and said: "A website that wants to become stronger and bigger does not rely on controlling the author, but on serving the author."
"First of all, I am not short of money. Even if I don't work in this industry, I will not worry about money in my life. Secondly, I want more and better excellent works, so that I can attract readers and authors."
"If you want authors to create good works, the terms of the contract must be more favorable to the author and more relaxed, so that they have no worries and can use their imagination to their fullest."
"With excellent works on the website, there will be more readers, so this is a virtuous circle, achieving a win-win situation for the website, authors, and readers..."
Ye Xuan expressed his views one by one, and Li Hui was shocked in his heart.
Li Hui has worked for several websites, but the person in charge of the website basically strengthens his control, controls the author in various ways, and never allows the author to have good conditions.
But Ye Xuan was completely different from those people. What impressed Li Hui even more was that Ye Xuan was very courageous. His words "I am not short of money" were enough to explain everything.
Although the website has not yet been launched, Li Hui can fully predict that when the terms of the contract are announced, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the Internet literature community.
Thunder Chinese website will definitely come into everyone’s sight all of a sudden, and many authors will try it out by then. The next step is to do a good job in operation and attract traffic to the website.
With money, the author writes more passionately, and readers stay on ThunderChinese.com because of the good works. This situation is exactly what Li Hui wants.
The website seems not to pay much attention to author control, but this can further strengthen the stickiness between the author and the website.
After all, they will not leave a website that makes money and is so friendly to authors, unless the website itself commits suicide.
"Any questions?" Ye Xuan asked.
"No, no more."
"Okay, if there is no more, then this is how the contract for the website will be decided in the future. I will guide traffic to the website later, and you must also do a good job in diverting traffic and signing contracts for works."
"As for the review of works, you are professionals, so I won't say anything else. Anyway, keep going." Ye Xuan encouraged.
For a moment, Li Hui felt that the future was bright and he was filled with unprecedented confidence. With Ye Xuan's strong support and the management of their team, Thunder Chinese Network will definitely get better and better.
The two chatted for a while and then ended the call. Li Hui said to everyone: "In the future, the contract with the author will be implemented according to this. In addition, the operations department will take action quickly to attract traffic to the website."
"Big Panda, you have to be responsible for the editorial department. Regarding the review, your editorial department can't be sloppy in any way. We don't want those who are trying to fish in troubled waters."
"Don't worry, editor-in-chief, we will do a good job." Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, let's start working." Li Hui nodded with satisfaction and said.
Soon the entire company's staff began to work, and Lei Lei Reading APP and Lei Lei Chinese website also began to promote it on various channels.
As a novel forum with high traffic, the Longhu Novel Forum is naturally a good place for website advertising. I saw that the entire Longhu Novel Forum has advertisements for Thunder Chinese Network in very eye-catching positions.
This promotional advertisement contains relevant introductions such as the types of manuscripts received, submission methods, and website benefits. (To be continued)
