genius editor

SO4 is located in the office area of ​​the city's central CBD, and all the participants have arrived, except for the main seat, which is still empty.

It was the first time for Tian Tian to attend such a high-level meeting, fidgeting, not quite sure who was going to be sitting there; Brother Lie Huo looked at his watch frequently, secretly thinking why the person hadn't come yet; Song Peng didn't know the inside story and looked confused.When the pointer passed 2 o'clock, Tian Tian couldn't sit still, and said to Brother Liehuo, "How about we start first?"

Brother Lihuo nodded, opened the PPT, and stood up to speak.After exchanging pleasantries, he cut to the chase and said, "With regard to the acquisition plan proposed by Guanwen, Jingyu can be equal to or even better than them."

SO4 executives looked at each other.

"There is no problem with the price of 4000 million, but we have other plans. We use 2000 million in cash plus 4 points of Jingyu's equity to acquire SO4, and the four of you will distribute it according to the capital contribution. Now Jingyu's valuation is 4.8 million. This The plan is basically the same as Guanwen’s bid. In the future, you can get Jingyu’s dividends every year, or you can realize your own equity.”

Everyone on SO4 whispered to each other for a while: "This is our bet that Jingyu will become bigger in the future, and the value of our equity will increase?"

"good."

Lin Yiqing showed a weather-beaten smile again: "The platform is not easy to build." It took only half a year for them to realize the difficulty of starting a business.

"The reason why the platform is difficult to do is: first, you do not have a professional content team. The choice of content cannot be left to the readers to decide. A professional editorial team can do a better job in terms of commercialization and literature. Second, you do not have For an author who can stand in the market, there is no master who can carry the traffic of your website. And these two things, Jingyu has everything."

"Guanwen also has these two things, and they are even better." Suddenly, a deafening sentence came from outside the door, and a group of people pushed away from the meeting room and walked in as if no one was there.The man in front of him was wearing a suit and leather shoes, his face was thin and fleshless, but his eyes were full of nakedness.

Lin Yiqing was sweating profusely: "Mr. Yu, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yu Zun, the CEO of Huayin Literature Network under Guanwen, and Mr. Xu's confidant.Regarding the acquisition of Guanwen, Mr. Xu only called him, and this person came to talk about it afterwards.

Yu Zun proudly glanced at Brother Liehuo, Tian Tian and Song Peng, thinking: Mr. Xu also boasted how brilliant Jingyu was, causing him to come here to disrupt the situation as soon as he got the news of the meeting between Jingyu and SO4 executives— — These are not all crooked characters who are not on the stage!

Yu Zun took two steps forward, took the chief seat by himself, winked, and instructed his own people to take their seats: "Mr. In a month's time, let me finish talking about the terms of the contract today and sign it quickly. We have other development plans for SO4, the sooner you sign, the sooner we will enter the venue, and save people with ulterior motives, empty-handed white wolves!" Yu Zun regarded Jingyu's high-level officials as air, crossed his hands, and looked at Lin Yiqing playfully.

Lin Yiqing was quite embarrassed.

Although the balance in his heart was biased towards Guanwen under the temptation of money, but because of his good impression of Zhuang Mo before, he really wanted to hear Jingyu's conditions before making a decision.Who knew that Yu Zun came to kill him halfway, with the posture of catching the adulterer on the bed and blaming him.He's just a young maker who didn't know what to do with it for a while.He neither wanted to offend Guanwen, nor did he want to sign on the spot.

Brother Liehuo knew that Guanwen was bound to win, and he closed the door to fight the dog. If Yu Zun was allowed to control the field at this time, there would be no room for maneuver in this case.The person who spoke to them hasn't come yet, so he has to find a way to win Lin Yiqing's support.

Brother Raging Fire thought about his negotiation strategy.

He has been in this industry for so long, and he has never heard of any development plans that Guanwen will give after acquiring a subsidiary.Whether the subsidiary is operating well or not, making a profit or losing money is not considered by Guanwen.The only value of the acquisition of SO4 is to allow Guanwen to have an additional subsidiary. It cost 4000 million, but the market value of Guanwen increased by 5000 million, which is a good deal for Guanwen.

In other words, the development plan for SO4 that Yu Zun said does not exist at all!

Brother Lie Huo took the initiative to get up, and handed over his business card to Yu Zun in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "Hi, I am Yang Huo, editor-in-chief of Jingyu, what's my name?"

Yu Zun stretched out his hand without hitting the smiling face: "Huayin Literature, Yu Zun."

"Mr. Yu, to tell you the truth, we are merging with Xiaolin to acquire the SO4 content section." Brother Liehuo smiled sincerely, "We also know that Guanwen is bidding with us. Guanwen has a big business, and we have no price advantage. We propose After all, we are very confident in the company's future plans, including the SO4 content segment."

Yu Zun narrowed his eyes.

Brother Riehuo Chong Lin Yiqing compared: "Xiaolin and the others, they just started the company, and they have feelings for the company. They must hope that after selling SO4, SO4 can develop better. Since the three of us got together today, why don't we Bring out the plans of both parties, so that Xiao Lin and the others can have a clear idea. What do you think?"

SO4 whispered to each other for a while, and Lin Yiqing said: "Indeed, if we invest in Jingyu with funds that could have been cashed out, we must know what Jingyu can do. We also need to know what arrangements Guanwen has for us, so that we can Choose a better way out for SO4 authors."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jingzhi pushed the door open and entered.

He took off his trendy streetwear for a leaden gray tailored suit, brushed his hair all up, and wore thin-rimmed, iron-rimmed glasses.He entered the arena with a serious face, followed by Li Tianduo, who had been expressionless for thousands of years, and there was a commotion in the conference room, even Yu Zun had to get up to say hello.Xu Jingzhi was different from what was said on the Internet, they felt a lot of pressure.But Tian Tian's spirit was lifted: So our major shareholder is really Xu Jingjing!It seems that Xu Jingjing is no longer a mad dog that bites people!

Brother Riehuo breathed a sigh of relief.

He led Yu Zun's unilateral threat to a dispute over SO4's future planning between the two. He believed that the plans they provided would definitely be more careful than the rapidly expanding Guanwen.

What's more, this project was explained by Xu Jingzhi.

Brother Riehuo got up and signaled to give up his position to Xu Jingzhi.Xu Jingzhi glanced at Yu Zun who was sitting on the main seat, but didn't take his seat, followed the laser pointer from in front of him, strode to the curtain, and Yu Zun felt like he was sitting on pins and needles for a moment.

"You asked about the company's development plan, and I will briefly introduce it to you." Xu Jingzhi talked eloquently to the audience. "After Jingyu acquires SO4.com, it will develop into the largest reading platform in the post-network era. Books in SO4's doujin and original areas will be merged into the library, and all contracted authors will enjoy the same treatment as contracted authors of Xinhui.com."

"...Red Dot hasn't closed down yet." Yu Zun couldn't help but speak.

"The red dot is different from our reader group. The red dot is mainly male-oriented, and the age range covers junior high school students to retired people. It is almost synonymous with online articles, which makes it have to face such a problem first: more After the development of more entertainment methods, people have more and more entertainment choices. Generally speaking, as the leader of the literature website, Red Dot’s competitors are not peers, but game companies, anchor platforms, and video platforms.”

"Doesn't Jingyu have this problem?" Yu Zun asked back.

"We focus on two-dimensional orientation, targeting readers born in the 90s, 95s and even 00s. There is no reading website in this area that monopolizes traffic like Red Dot, so there is still room for development."

"What do post-95s and post-00s like to watch? Can an established company like yours really know it?" Yu Zun expressed doubts.

"Our post-95 editor has just produced several books for young readers, and the pre-sales have reached over [-] through Weibo marketing." Xu Jingzhi snapped his fingers, "Tian Tian!"

Tian Tian flipped through the materials he had prepared and cleared his throat: "The reading preferences of young readers today are light reading in terms of volume and brainstorming in setting. Long novels with millions of words are already It makes readers lose their patience, and more and more readers tend to read in fragmented time and fragments. Recently, many authors have become popular on Weibo, relying on short jokes. We can learn from their eye-catching novel settings and The style of writing, but it needs to avoid competition with big platforms such as Weibo and Red Dot in terms of volume, focus on the ecological niche of 20 to 60 words, and create novella stories that meet the taste of Two-dimensional readers."

Yu Zun shook his head: "The online writing is not long, the author has no money to make, and the platform can't do it. You have to forcefully control the length, it's impossible."

Xu Jingzhi said: "The reason why the volume is controlled within this range is because the story does not need to be written so long, which is a reasonable length for film and television adaptations. Once everyone sees excellent short and medium-length works, they can sell for millions or even With a price of tens of millions, they are not willing to write another long novel."

"Wait a minute..." Lin Yiqing couldn't help interjecting as the two Party A were fighting each other, "That...our author is either a doujin or a danmei, and they can't make a movie at all, and Jingyu's platform traffic is not enough, how can they make a profit? ?”

"In addition to film and television and platforms, Jingyu also has cash flow channels such as entities, Weibo, screenwriters, etc. Our writer economy is very complete and professional, and authors can shine in the west if they are not in the east. Moreover, Jingyu's platform will never have insufficient traffic. The situation, we bring the gods into the arena. The great god's drainage ability, you have already seen Bai Shangshang's overnight popularity a while ago. And Bai Shangshang is only a second-line author under our banner. Xuanyuan and Sihai Zongheng will both finish their stories this year Famous works, their traffic will be shared with SO4."

Although Yu Zun didn't bring a project proposal himself, he professionally dismantled the stage: "Their readership is not the target audience of the SO4 author."

"That's right, but there must be a great master stationed on the site in order to attract more Internet celebrity authors like Kodabuya to settle on the platform. We have already circled the Weibo authors as a whole, and they will continue to attract traffic from Weibo , and the target readers of these users and SO4 authors are highly overlapping, and the traffic is definitely much better than SO4 alone. Secondly, SO4 authors will not always write Doujin and Danmei, they will also try to transform, we will have a dedicated The editorial team helps them make a piece of content that not only meets the mainstream market, but also meets the needs of niche audiences."

There was a small discussion at the top of the SO4 network.

"I can hear it. You always want to control the content. This is contrary to the original intention of the online literature platform." Yu Zun looked at Jingyu and the representative of SO4 seriously. As the CEO of the literature website, what he said could not be called Without saying anything earnestly, "The reason for the rise of online articles is because the editor has been abandoned, and authors and readers are placed in a market where they can find each other. In this era, readers choose authors, not editors choose authors. Readers Preference determines which author can be popular and which author should leave. The platform does not need to intervene. If there is too much involvement, it will hinder the marketization. If Jingyu’s new platform is always sunny, Lin Yiqing, you should think about it!"

"Because the platform has always allowed authors to please readers indefinitely, the level of web writing has always been criticized. Today, compared with the initial rise of web writing, it has plummeted. The first people who wrote web writing were Sihai Zongheng, Xuan The original masters, the quality of their works is unquestionable; and now it is not a duck that can be popular on the Internet. There are always a large number of young readers on the platform, blindly pleasing them, and even taking the power to decide who should leave and who should stay. It's very dangerous to hand it over to them." Xu Jingzhi also reminded Lin Yiqing, "Didn't you find out? Now film and television adaptations and online literature have entered two extremes, and the big IPs voted by netizens hit the street one after another. , film and television adaptations have higher and higher requirements for content standards, but online literature cannot meet them. If we can try to guide authors to produce high-quality content, won’t readers be happy? They can be temporarily flooded with Su Shuang’s articles attracted, but as they get older, is there no room for their aesthetics to improve?"

"In the online literature market, young readers are always the main force. If their aesthetics improve, they will be abandoned. This is how Song San has always defended the No. 1 online literature." Yu Zun debated with Xu Jingzhi sincerely , he felt that Jingyu's thinking was completely wrong from a business logic point of view.

"Each generation of young readers likes different things. You have to catch up with the trend every generation. Can you catch up?" Xu Jingzhi supported the table and asked Lin Yiqing seriously, "It is better to create a trend than to follow the trend blindly. We can live longer and our authors can live longer by being the ruler of reading in the post-Internet era instead of doing it laissez-faire!"

Xu Jingzhi is the proud son of heaven, with handsome features, and once he gets serious, he is a more suitable figure than Zhuang Mo, not to mention that he wants to lead the industry in his heart.At this time, the words from the top of the mountain are very contagious.But Yu Zun didn't put forward any constructive suggestions other than dismantling his platform.As a dead house with dreams, Lin Yiqing is still more willing to accept Xu Jingzhi's big cake.

Almost all SO4 executives were persuaded by Xu Jingzhi, and asked Jingyufang to provide an asset appraisal report.

Tian Tian had prepared a long time ago, and distributed one copy to each of them.Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu Zun went out and called Xu Wei, asking for instructions to pay in advance.

Brother Liehuo clung to Xu Jingzhi's ear and told him about Yu Zun kicking the restaurant to force the contract just now.Xu Jingzhi's gaze sharpened, and she called Tian Tian to stop: "Liantongyi has been issued concurrently."

When Guanwen and SO4 collectively changed their colors, he wrote lightly: "The contract was all negotiated last time, just change the payment method. If possible, we will sign it on the spot."

"Wait a minute!" Yu Zun heard that Xu Jingzhi was about to sign the contract as soon as he came back, and knew that this was slapping him in the face, so he couldn't help resorting to a killer move, "We can pay within seven days for Guanwen, can Jingyu?"

Everyone was stunned.

"The major shareholder behind Jingyu is Liancheng Entertainment, and I've heard that Mr. Xu doesn't recognize this so-called Liancheng Entertainment, and even cut off Young Master Xu's source of income." SO4 executives, "So, Liancheng Entertainment seems to be an empty shell company, and Jingyu proposed equity replacement only because he has no money in his pocket! You really think about it, and you will be emptied by such an empty company. A wolf?!"

Xu Jingzhi seemed to have been slapped in the face in public, and his whole body began to tremble.

He thought he had performed well enough.He went deep into the industry, put in so much effort, and described his ideas with the most professional attitude and sincerity. However, all he did could not match his father's words in the eyes of others. talk!He remembered that night, his father said to him coldly: Without me as a father, you are nothing.

At this moment, Li Tianduo pushed the door open. Behind him, Mr. Xu entered the door majestically holding a cane, and said loudly: "What is 4000 million? It's not like Jingyu can't take it out. Jingzhi, You invest [-] million in him first!"

Xu Jing was taken aback and blushed.

But with so many eyes looking at him, he barely controlled himself, and said with a fluttering voice: "Ahem, this... we will talk about it at the shareholders' meeting."
