Game designer: I am making games, not charity

overnight.

A large number of book friends left 18j novels and went to 17k.

Many people even directly logged out their accounts after leaving comments scolding the website and website editors directly in the book friend discussion circle.

The website owner was dumbfounded, and called Editor-in-Chief Zhang to inquire about the situation.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang was also confused, he hesitated and couldn't tell why.

As a result, he was scolded by the boss.

Editor Zhang was angry and helpless.

I went to the website and took a closer look at the readers' comments, most of which revolved around a book.

"Zhu Xian"!
Editor-in-Chief Zhang always felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

It's just a book, do these readers deserve to do this?

Editor-in-Chief Zhang ran to the technical department with a livid face, and scolded a group of employees in the technical department: "What do you do in the technical department? Those readers are all talking about it in the book circle, didn't you see it?"

The employees in the technical department were helpless and angry.

Readers complain about website editors, what do they care about their technical departments?

But the first level of officialdom crushes people. Editor Zhang is not only the editor-in-chief of the content department, but also the acting manager of the entire website.

Usually the boss is not around, so it is Editor Zhang who has the final say.

Most of the employees in the company have read the book Zhu Xian.

Because Xiaoyu has been recommending this book to people around her, and I hope everyone can help me intercede with the editor-in-chief and change the contract.

It's a pity that Editor-in-Chief Zhang couldn't listen to it at all.

Therefore, the employees of several technical departments could only suppress their anger and say: "Mr. Zhang, then...are we going to restore the content of "Zhu Xian"? But...we don't have the copyright of this book, so we can't do this." .”

Editor-in-Chief Zhang stared: "What nonsense "Zhu Xian"? Is this about the book? This is a trouble caused by black fans! Let your technical department keep an eye on it. All readers are forbidden!"

The technical department looked stunned, and finally had no choice but to nod and go on.

After Editor-in-Chief Zhang left, all the employees sighed.

"Hey, I can only go to 17k to watch "Zhu Xian" in the future."

"This old Zhang is just mentally ill. With such a good book, he has to force people to change the website."

"Old dog Zhang is messing around, banning readers' words, when the time comes, readers will make a fuss, what should we do?"

"I see that the company can't stay any longer. The editor-in-chief is like an idiot. Xiao Yu is gone. I will resign in a few days, damn it."

"Okay, don't talk about it, just follow his arrangement. If something happens, he will be responsible for it."

The employees complained a lot, but Editor-in-Chief Zhang didn't care.

Looking at the news about "Zhu Xian" on the website, his face is full of disdain.

What kind of nonsense fairy tale book, the author is just talking nonsense, what is it?
Do you think you can get a good contract if you switch to another website?This author is so naive.

Just go, our website does not lack your copy.

I have been working on a website for so many years, and I am one of the best in the Great Xia Kingdom. What authors and books have I never read?
Only the author begs for the website, and no website is afraid of the author!

In this era, content is supplemented, and channels are king!

Chen Feng naturally didn't know about Editor Zhang's thoughts, if he knew.

Will definitely tell the other party.

The content is supplemented and the channel is the king. It is definitely just that the content is not good enough.

A truly excellent ip, a truly excellent work, let alone a mere website, even the entire country, and even human beings, may be affected by it!

17k Novel Network Headquarters.

After Xiao Yu left the original company, she immediately rushed over by car.

The editor-in-chief of 17k Novel.com, Hong Xue, came out to greet her in person.

After arriving at the company, all employees are also very enthusiastic about Xiaoyu.

"This is the chief editor of "Zhu Xian"."

"Xiao Yu is awesome."

"In the future, "Zhu Xian" will definitely become the head novel of our website, and Xiao Yu will definitely become the editor-in-chief."

Xiao Yu didn't expect that everyone would value her so much, and all of this was because of "Zhu Xian"!
After Xiaoyu came to 17k Novels.com, the entire website operated "Zhu Xian" as the head book.

And Chen Feng's side also started to explode.

Exposure has been greatly improved!

On the first day of re-publishing the book, the collection directly exceeded [-]!
Of course, there are also many original book friends who came from 18j.

And Chen Feng's update is also very powerful, directly updating [-] words a day! ,

With this explosion, the collection has increased even faster, and there are countless votes, flowers, and rewards.

The popularity of "Zhu Xian" is getting higher and higher.

Under the strong recommendation of 17k Novels.com, "Zhu Xian" even jumped to the fifth place in the overall list!

This is because "Zhu Xian" has experienced problems such as changing the website and republishing the book.

If not, I'm afraid the results will be even more explosive.

Of course, the current results have already broken several records.

Five days after the release of the new book, the collection exceeded 100 million!

On the first day on the shelves, the first order is 5w!

Because the results of this book are so good, even other websites have started to talk about authorization with 17k.

……

18j Novel Network Headquarters.

With the departure of "Zhu Xian", the daily activity of the website has gone from bad to worse.

Coupled with the fact that the technical department banned a large number of book friends, more book friends were dissatisfied and chose to leave.

In just a few days, the DAU of 18j Novel.com dropped by nearly 20!
Subscriptions to many novels on the site have also plummeted.

Naturally, such a large impact cannot be ignored.

All the authors were responding to the editor, and in the end, these words reached the ears of Editor-in-Chief Zhang.

And until now, Editor-in-Chief Zhang is still unwilling to believe that these things were caused by the departure of the book "Zhu Xian".

"It's just a book changing to a website, how could it have such a big impact?"

Editor-in-chief Zhang shouted angrily at the meeting: "These readers must have left for other reasons, please solve it for me quickly!"

"Editor-in-Chief, it's really because of "Zhu Xian"! How about we give in and go to the original author and ask for an authorization? Or, pay a high price to bring him over? This book is really worth it!" An editor-in-chief of 18j Novel.com persuaded.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang still disagrees: "What is it worth! I don't believe it anymore, his "Zhu Xian" is good, but the books of the great gods on our website are not good?"

The editor-in-chief closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I really can't imagine how someone like you became the editor-in-chief of 18j! How long have you not understood the market?"

The editor-in-chief said, tearing off his job card in front of so many people in the conference room: "With an editor-in-chief like you, this website is hopeless! Before leaving, I sincerely wish My advice is to read more books!"

Just leave after speaking!

But even so, this meeting still did not change the authoritarian Chief Editor Zhang in any way.

He still insisted on his own opinion, and completely avoided talking about the book "Zhu Xian", which is killing all the way on the 17k list and has a growing influence on the entire Internet!
Although he has realized that these things are really likely to be a chain reaction brought about by the book "Zhu Xian".

But he can only do this, he absolutely cannot admit it, otherwise, he who forced the book "Zhu Xian" away will undoubtedly bear the greatest responsibility.

And in the company, he will definitely lose face!

Editor-in-Chief Zhang can't let this happen!

Because he still felt that the matter might not be that serious, it was just a book, no matter how great the impact was, it would eventually come to an end.

But day after day passed, the influence of "Zhu Xian" not only did not end, but became bigger and bigger!

And this result.

That is, the number of readers of the 18j website continues to decrease, and the subscription data of the authors' books on this site also continues to decline, getting worse and worse.

On the contrary, the 17k novel website, because of the book "Zhu Xian", brought a lot of book fans, and even drove the sales data of other books to soar.

As a result, some 18j authors who were about to finish the book, or had come to the end, could only reluctantly choose to finish the current book and go to the 17k website.

After all, readers are the parents of these authors!
Readers have gone to 17k, no matter how these authors write, no one will read it!
The departure of a large number of book friends and authors finally aroused the wrath of the 18j behind-the-scenes boss who has been indifferent.

The boss made a phone call directly to Editor-in-Chief Zhang.

"What a good thing you did! Do you know how popular "Zhu Xian" is now? Back then, the author first published the book on our website, why didn't he stay!"

Facing the anger of the boss on the other end of the phone, Editor-in-Chief Zhang was full of sadness and helplessness: "Boss, it's not that I don't keep him, it's him... the contract he wants is too unreasonable."

The boss roared angrily: "The contract is unreasonable?! Do you know how much damage this book has caused to our website? You should immediately contact the author of this book. Within three days, I don't care what method you use. Get back the authorization of "Zhu Xian", otherwise, you can pack up your things and leave!"

After the boss finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Editor-in-chief Zhang looked helpless. He really didn't expect that things would develop to this point.

Until now, he regretted a little bit. If he had agreed to the other party's conditions, there would not be so many things now.

Now, the boss's phone calls are coming, no matter what, he has to deal with this matter!

After hesitating for a moment, he got up and informed his secretary to call Chen Xi, the original author of "Zhu Xian", to get the authorization of the book.

……

At this time, Platinum Games Company.

After Chen Feng uploaded today's update, Zhang Mengyao came in.

She smiled and said, "Senior, the original painting of "Diablo" has been made, come out and take a look."

Chen Feng nodded, got up and was about to go out when the phone in his pocket rang.

It was a call from an unknown number.

Chen Feng frowned and connected, and a female voice came from over there: "Hello, is this Mr. Chenxi? This is 18j Novels..."

18j novel network?
Why is this website calling itself?

He rolled his eyes, didn't even bother to listen to the other party, so he hung up the phone!
