Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

Just as the two were whispering to each other, a beautiful figure suddenly walked in.

"what!"

"what!"

Two surprised and shy voices sounded at the same time.

Peng Wanhua looked forward following Zhang Mingming's charming gaze.

The person who came was none other than the royal sister Qin Wanqiu.

She was wearing a professional black suit, and her long legs looked straight, strong and extremely slender against the black skirt.

"I'm sorry, it seems I came at the wrong time."

Qin Wanqiu was ready to leave.

Peng Wanhua smiled and said, "No, you came at the right time."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, took the plump lady in his arms, and was immediately filled with her soft fragrance.

Qin Wanqiu struggled to break free but couldn't.

Instead, Zhang Mingming stood up and said, "I won't bother you any more. Bye."

After saying that, she flashed out of the study.

Without anyone else present, Qin Wanqiu didn't feel as resistant as before.

Peng Wanhua patted the royal sister's buttocks, pointed at the Red Star Online portal, and got down to business.

"We can add a novel section here." Peng Wanhua said, pointing to the back of the entertainment module.

"Novel section?" Qin Wanqiu was puzzled.

"Yes, putting some novels that were previously published in traditional media such as newspapers and publications on it can help you attract traffic and increase user stickiness," Peng Wanhua explained.

“We can even create a separate novel website in the future to provide authors with a platform to showcase their writing skills.”

After all, this was the early stages of the Internet.

The network speed is very slow.

Most ordinary people use dial-up to access the Internet, with speeds of only a few dozen KB.

It takes more than ten seconds or even dozens of seconds to load a picture.

The music is longer.

As for downloading and playing videos, forget it.

Therefore, it is more reasonable to develop online novels at this stage.

"Of course it is possible, but how do we make a profit? Or how do we pay the author?" Qin Wanqiu quickly thought of this key issue.

Today’s portal websites are relatively simple, inexpensive, and can be filled with content using existing media resources.

There are also advertising fees to offset the costs.

If you build a professional novel website, the development and operation costs alone will not be low.

The most important thing is how to calculate the author's royalties.

Peng Wanhua certainly knows how to solve this problem.

In the previous life, the development path and profit model of online novels were ready-made.

He just needs to copy it.

Peng Wanhua: "First, there are advertising fees. For example, we can set up an advertising page on the novel browsing page and charge for ad clicks."

“I think the early stage should focus on accumulation, and we can attract authors and readers through online serialization and discussion in the comment area.”

"When we have accumulated enough experience and the time is right, we can start charging for services."

Qin Wanqiu asked in confusion: "How much is the charge online?"

Peng Wanhua smiled and said, "Now we can send emails and read news online, so is it possible to recharge and pay online, or even trade online?"

Qin Wanqiu nodded.

However, she hasn't figured out how to achieve it yet, she just vaguely feels that what Peng Wanhua said is right.

Peng Wanhua continued: "In fact, there is no rush to charge for novels at this stage. Once the technology matures, you will naturally understand. The key is that in the novel section, as long as a book cultivates loyal readers, the user stickiness will be very high.

That is, it can provide a steady stream of traffic for your portal website. In the future, traffic will represent valuation and even market value.”

Qin Wanqiu nodded, she understood this logic.

Peng Wanhua continued: "In fact, if we can move offline novel writing and publishing online, and all novel editing and reviewing are done online in the future, solidifying this model can greatly improve efficiency and save a lot of manpower costs."

Qin Wanqiu agreed, “Now to publish a physical book, you need to first ask the author for the manuscript, then proofread and revise it, and finally print, transport and sell it, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If the online method can solve these problems, it can really improve efficiency.”

Peng Wanhua nodded, "Not only that, how many books can your publishing house publish in a year for offline sales?"

Qin Wanqiu: "Generally speaking, publishing houses can publish about 100 books. Our volume is larger, so we can publish 600 or 700 books, but we will not publish more than 1,000 books in a year."

Peng Wanhua: "If the online method greatly improves efficiency, how many books do you think can be published in a year?"

Qin Wanqiu held up five fingers: "Five thousand copies?"

Peng Wanhua shook his head. "That's probably just the number of new novels published in a month. It could be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a year!"

"Hiss!" Qin Wanqiu widened her eyes in shock.

If an average book can bring 10,000 yuan in revenue to the website, then the annual revenue would be billions!

This novel section is really interesting!

Peng Wanhua understood the shock on her face.

In fact, in his previous life, the output value of online literature had exceeded 30 billion.

As for the development of the online novel IP chain, the annual output value even exceeds 100 billion.

However, due to piracy, online literature suffers losses of more than 10 billion yuan each year.

Like the boss of Biquge, the king of piracy, he made billions after several years of piracy!

Although Biquge was later closed due to writers’ rights protection, countless pirated online literature websites with the same name as Biquge sprang up.

How to combat piracy is really a headache.

Peng Wanhua thought that if his business became bigger in the future, he could use technical and legal means to crack down on piracy when necessary.

Not only that, when the traffic is large enough, he can even develop a free novel model to leave no room for piracy.

He continued: "Even in the longer term, if something like artificial intelligence emerges and can achieve intelligent review, then even manual review will not be needed, which will be more efficient. However, this will definitely require a certain amount of technology and time accumulation."

Qin Wanqiu nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Lao Liu wrote a fairy tale novel. After you finish developing the novel section, you can have people record it. This book combines traditional Chinese mythology and elements of cultivating immortals. It's very interesting. I think some people will like it."

Peng Wanhua opened an email address, which contained the electronic file of the novel sent to him by Lao Liu.

"Oh, let me take a look." Qin Wanqiu clicked on the novel, "Wow, it's over four million words?"

"Yes, part of it is the outline, and the main text is about 390 million words." Peng Wanhua put Yu Jie on his lap and let her face the computer.

Qin Wanqiu looked at the outline, then sat up straight and scanned the contents of the novel at a glance.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't move." Feeling that someone was not behaving properly, the royal sister pressed the big hand that was playing tricks inside the clothes with one hand, her face flushed and she panted.
