After seeing off Qiao Laoshi, Pei Qian returned to Shenhua Luxury View and went around the end of Tengda Tower first.
At present, the business of the terminal has stabilized, and most people are in a state of self-entertainment.
Although the traffic of the website is slowly rising, it is still terrible overall, and there are no signs of improvement in the short term.
In many online forums, the reputation of Dingmin is not good. Most authors regard this website as a rather deceptive little website, and it is highly not recommended for newcomers to come here to try their luck.
Only those authors who have no ambition at all will regard the end point as their first choice because of this small amount of hard work.
Therefore, editors basically only have two things to do.
Review manuscripts, or write books for your own entertainment.
Of course, some people, including Zhu Xing'an, are writing the official plot of "Back to the Shore", which is another form of self-entertainment.
However, because the official version of "Back to the Shore" has always been on the homepage, it has also been criticized by readers. If Zhu Xing'an had not had good psychological quality and strong ability to withstand pressure, he might have been criticized by eunuchs long ago.
The reason why readers criticized it is also very simple. The plot is scattered, messy, not interesting, and makes people confused.
After all, this thing is more of a plot design collection for the game than anything else, which is completely inconsistent with most readers’ expectations for the Internet.
Everyone is used to this, so feel free to complain. Anyway, this plot was designed to serve the game from the beginning.
In addition to finishing the work, Ma Yiqun is also working on the tpdb website, which has already achieved initial results.
Seeing Mr. Pei coming, Ma Yiqun hurriedly asked people to pour water and reported the recent work situation to Mr. Pei in person.
Five minutes later.
Although Ma Yiqun has been trying his best to beautify the achievements made so far, Pei Qian still accurately got the fact that this website is still very popular.
"very good."
"The work at the end point is very effective, and the tpdb website is also doing a good job."
"Don't be too eager for quick success, just keep doing it."
Pei Qian is very satisfied with Ma Qun, an employee.
Although Ma Yiqun has strong professional qualities, under the reasonable use of Mr. Pei, his professional qualities were completely unable to be used. It must be said that this is a big victory for Mr. Pei.
From the time it was taken over, the website has continued to suffer losses, with very few readers and few reliable authors. This all reflects Ma Yiqun’s outstanding work ability.
Pei Qian silently sighed, this is one of the few talents among his employees who can make people feel at ease!
Seeing that Mr. Pei was in a good mood today, Ma Yiqun hesitated, wondering whether to talk about what he had been thinking about.
After much consideration, he decided to speak.
"Mr. Pei, I have an idea or suggestion about the end point."
"Oh? Tell me." Pei Qian was a little surprised, but he didn't make a fuss.
Although Ma Yiqun's understanding of the Internet is seriously biased, his intelligence level is not a problem.
Having been the CEO of Endpoint for so long, he must have some opinions of his own on the development of the website. This is normal.
Ma Yiqun said: "Mr. Pei, I've thought about it. The biggest problem at the end of the day is that the income of middle-level authors has never been able to increase."
“Because of the full attendance, the income of the bottom-level authors can be guaranteed to a certain extent.”
"However, once these low-level authors want to move up to the ranks of middle-level authors, it is basically impossible to support their families or work full-time on manuscript fees."
"Because our website currently has too few readers and cannot generate enough subscriptions, even if these authors write a good book, it will be limited by the ceiling of the website and it will be difficult to really become popular."
Pei Qian nodded.
Yes, this is a question I have thought of for a long time.
The reason why I keep pretending not to know is because I want to burn more money by watching the website...
But now that Ma Yiqun has brought it up, Pei Qian can no longer pretend not to know. He can only pretend to nod to show his agreement.
After all, it is impossible for the smart and wise Mr. Pei not to understand this. That would be too false.
Ma Yiqun continued: "So, I thought of a way to improve this."
"We should artificially increase the income of mid-level authors, and even possible top authors. If the current number of subscribers is not enough, then we must spend money to make up for this income."
"Suppose that a good book appears on our website, and its actual level is equivalent to an infinite quality level, then we will pay to make up for the author's royalties."
"In this way, some low-level authors will not worry about being buried on our website and will be more motivated."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "It makes sense. But, how can we judge whether this book has reached the level of quality?"
Ma Yiqun said: "On the one hand, it is through website data, such as the proportion of subscribers among all paying readers, various data including votes, clicks, etc.; on the other hand, it is human judgment."
"This is something that can only be done by me."
This problem was not discovered by Ma Yiqun until today.
But coming up with this solution and mustering up the courage to propose it is not an easy task.
Until this moment, Ma Yiqun was still a little uneasy, fearing that Mr. Pei would be angry.
Because he knew very well that this suggestion was a bit bold, because the discretion he required was too great.
Assume that the monthly manuscript fee for a high-quality author is 10,000 yuan, but the full attendance at the end point is only a few hundred yuan, which means that the 10,000 yuan must be made up by the website.
If there are ten or twenty authors who all reach the quality level, then the monthly manuscript fee that needs to be supplemented will reach hundreds of thousands, two hundred thousand, or even more.
The money is all decided by Ma Yiqun to whom it will be distributed.
Although it is necessary to refer to the data of the website, the website only has so many readers now. Isn’t it very simple to do some tricks on the data?
So in the final analysis, it is up to Ma Yiqun to decide who to give the money to.
If you think about the worst, he would have arranged for his relatives and friends to create a small account, translate an unknown book into Chinese, and then use secret operations to stuff the royalties into his own pocket.
Therefore, the problem raised by Ma Yiqun exists objectively, but this suggestion is somewhat inappropriate.
This is an overly idealistic plan. Once the executor has a little selfishness, it may seriously deviate or even have the opposite effect.
If the management makes some scandal and it reaches the ears of the authors, the reputation of the website will be completely ruined. This is a huge risk.
However, Ma Yiqun could not think of any other way.
There are too few readers, and readers at the bottom level cannot get much royalties even if they write well. This has seriously dampened the enthusiasm of bottom-level authors for writing. This is a problem that must be solved.
Therefore, regardless of whether Mr. Pei accepts it or not, he must bite the bullet and make suggestions.
Pei Qian did not reply immediately, but thought about it for a moment.
Let Ma Yiqun take care of the money?
That's something you can consider.
Pei Qian trusts Ma Yiqun mainly because he trusts his perspective on Internet articles.
The fact that Ma Yiqun writes online articles by himself is enough to show that there is a major problem in the way he views online articles. In this case, the books that he thinks can become high-quality books are certainly not much better.
In other words, even if all these books are selected, the recommendation slots are fully allocated, and the royalties are all paid according to the quality, it will not have much impact on the end point.
At the same time, the destination can also spend a large amount of money!
For Pei Qian who is eager to spend money, this can be said to be a timely help!
After considering the risks and benefits, Pei Qian immediately nodded: "Okay, no problem."
"In addition to the full attendance of the contracted authors, I will allocate an additional two million to you, and you can spend it first."
Ma Qun was stunned and said quickly: "Mr. Pei, two million is a bit too much!"
"Currently there are not many authors on the website who are really capable of producing high-quality products. I think that only about 200,000 yuan per month is enough."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter!"
"It doesn't hurt to give more money to high-quality authors. Our website might as well buy a horse bone and give the author a little more money. This is not a bad thing."
"Don't be too stingy. Since you have decided to top up the royalties of these authors, you might as well top up a little more so that they have a stronger sense of belonging to the end point."
Pei Qian is not worried about this.
Anyway, the books selected by Ma Yiqun are a bunch of rubbish. So what if we give these authors more money?
If the book is not good and cannot attract readers, then all the money will be wasted, and it will be too late for Pei Qian to be happy.
Moreover, the settlement was due in one month, and Pei Qian couldn't wait to spend more money quickly.
Two million seemed a bit too much for a group of horses, but Pei Qian couldn't wait to throw in more.
The horses were deeply moved.
Sure enough, Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei, and he always behaves so grandly!
What a thousand gold to buy horse bones!
If we can give more royalties to those authors who have the ability to write high-quality articles, then Dingmin will be more competitive than other small websites. Over time, maybe a virtuous cycle will be formed!
What moved Ma Yiqun even more was that Mr. Pei trusted him so much!
These two million dollars are equivalent to being given to a group of horses for free control.
What a trust!
Can ordinary leaders have such courage?
If this doesn’t mess up Mr. Pei, is he still a human being?
Ma Yiqun patted his chest: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will do my best to select a group of capable and high-quality authors, and I will never let this money go to waste!"
Pei Qian smiled on the outside but chuckled on the inside.
As long as you work hard, my money will be in vain.
Otherwise, you are a good employee that I value very much?
