Pretending to be bankrupt, the school beauty came to the door with twins

The failure experience of Tengsheng Group is very worth learning from.

Zhu Xianhe noticed this.

Similarly, Jiang Siming also noticed it.

"Siming, you are right. The failure experience of Tengsheng Group is indeed worth learning from!"

"However, what do you want to do?"

"Could it be that we also open it up for free?"

"You know, we don't have the user volume of Ningchen Group!"

"If it is really open up for free, the income of the author will definitely be greatly reduced."

As the chairman, Zhu Xianhe has naturally figured out the website operation model of Ningchen.

They charge by the same routine as the mini-program game.

Watch a video and you can read so many chapters of the novel for free.

It seems to be free, but in the final analysis, the profit is actually advertising income.

Ningchen has such a large scale, they can certainly afford it.

Normally, a reader has to pay 10 cents to read a chapter of 5,000 words.

According to the traffic of Yingtian Group, the best result of the most popular author is 100,000 subscriptions for one chapter.

Converted into money, it means that one page can earn 10,000 yuan.

However, for a paid website, assuming that a reader only earns one cent for one chapter, but they have a full million readers.

Therefore, the last chapter can also earn 10,000 yuan.

Of course, this refers to the top authors.

For ordinary authors, the data is certainly not so good.

However, this can show that Ningchen Group is confident that the authors can maintain their income.

Because their size is there, even if it is a free novel, it will not have a big impact on the income of the great authors.

However, Yingtian does not have such strength.

Once they open it for free, the number of readers will definitely not increase.

It is difficult for free websites to compete with Ningchen.

After all, Ningchen is the ancestor of free, and no one can compare.

If the number of readers does not increase, and the income from free is not as much as that from paid, then the first to run away must be those great authors.

Although low- and middle-level authors are the cornerstone of a website, if a website wants to continue to develop, it must have countless low- and middle-level authors.

However, great authors are an important factor for a website to truly stand.

A great author may bring hundreds of thousands of loyal readers.

Moreover, the evaluation of a website still depends on how many great authors there are.

The more great authors there are, the stronger the website is.

Once the great authors leave, the first to leave are these loyal readers.

When the great authors leave, there will be fewer high-quality books.

When there are fewer high-quality books, readers will follow them.

Thus, it will enter a vicious circle.

Therefore, great authors must not leave.

Similarly, when income drops, some low- and middle-level authors will also leave.

In the end, there are fewer and fewer authors and fewer and fewer readers, until the website is completely cold and then acquired.

Therefore, free, before there is enough volume, do not try it easily.

"That's right, Mr. Zhu, I'm not talking about turning the company into a free website directly."

"But I'm talking about doing a pilot!"

Jiang Siming explained.

Do a pilot?

Zhu Xianhe was stunned.

What does it mean to do a pilot?

Obviously, he didn't quite understand what Jiang Siming meant.

Jiang Siming didn't keep him in suspense and explained immediately.

What he meant was that the company should continue to pursue the boutique route.

As the largest novel website, as long as they insist on boutique, even if they will be impacted by free novel websites in the future, as long as the boutique books are still there, there will be no worries about lack of readers.

Especially those true fans.

They will not give up just because the novel is charged or free.

For them, spending a few hundred yuan to read a paid novel is no big deal.

Therefore, boutique novels must exist.

However, free is a big impact, and they must face it.

In this case, they can temporarily open up a free section.

Convert some books into free books to test the waters.

As for the charging method for free books?

They can copy Ning Chen's method and earn advertising fees directly.

Or they can open membership and earn membership fees.

Both of these are methods that Ning Chen has already used, and they have been proven to be effective.

They can test the waters with some books by low- and middle-level authors.

Of course, they can also put in some old books by great writers.

Especially some old great writers, their books from ten or even twenty years ago can be put in.

The books of these old great writers are very old, and it is impossible for them to get any networkRecommended by the website.

If you want to make money, you have to rely on fans.

If you can put it in the free section and give it a wave of recommendations, so that they can make 100,000 or 200,000, they will not mind.

After all, who can't get along with money?

Therefore, opening a separate free section to try it out is indeed a feasible solution at present.

"Well, Siming, your idea is good, we can try it!"

Zhu Xianhe smiled after listening to Jiang Siming's words.

In fact, he himself knew that as long as the quality is good, the company's profit will decrease, but in general, it will not have much impact.

However, the impact of free novels is so strong that they can't ignore it.

Therefore, it must be taken seriously.

The reason why Zhu Xianhe held this meeting was that he didn't really think of any means to deal with it, but just to seek comfort.

If it doesn't work, the worst case is to sell the company.

He has been running this website for so many years, and now it can sell more than 10 billion.

However, after all, he had worked hard to run the website, so he was reluctant to sell it.

He wanted to give it another try.

Perhaps, after trying, the company could have a new start.

Companies need innovation, and so do novels.

Without innovation, relying on past achievements will only lead to failure.

Therefore, Zhu Xianhe thought about giving it a try after hearing Jiang Siming's suggestion.

Even if the attempt fails, it will not have much impact on the website.

Why not give it a try?

"Siming, you will take the lead in this matter!"

"In one month, the section will be opened up, and the novels that enter the section will be selected. Is there any problem?"

Zhu Xianhe asked with a smile.

Jiang Siming did not expect Zhu Xianhe to suddenly give him such an important task.

Although he made this suggestion, he did not think that Zhu Xianhe would accept it.

It would be fine if he accepted it, but he actually let him take the lead.

According to normal logic, even if he took over, he would need someone to take the lead, and he would have to find a senior employee.

Jiang Siming was a newly promoted middle-level manager, so it was not his turn.
