Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

The reason why it is not ready to launch is that AliPay has not yet obtained a payment license for the time being.

But I don't want to issue a payment license for the time being.

It won't restrict you if you use it, but the matter of paying for the license is still under consideration.

The other is that for the time being, Chen Yu's side is not yet ready to develop e-commerce.

Unexpectedly, Qidian actually contacted his side at this time, wanting to use AliExpress.

"Yeah, I got it."

Turning his mind, Chen Yu understood what he just said "nonsense"

They hope that AliPay will help them complete the payment.

This is normal.

In 2002, the starting point Chinese website was just established, and its strength was very average.

In addition, I didn't make any money myself, and there were no channels at all.

They want to come up with a VIP charging model, the first thing to solve is the payment problem.

Although it is no problem for them to make their own payment procedures, it is really difficult to get through the payment channels.

"There is no problem with AliPay authorizing them."

"What about our card?"

"They can use it if they want, but they have to charge a service fee."

"it is good."

Chen Yu treats all enterprises equally.

All enterprises can use the one-card card, but service fees are also charged.

Chapter 294: Baishen can write novels professionally in the future

With the authorization of Huanyu Technology, the starting point Chinese website also has a sliver of confidence.

Once the payment problem is solved, readers can decide whether to subscribe or not, depending on their content.

For this reason, Qidian.com specially prepared 8 works for this VIP launch.

Of course, the starting point also wants to prepare more.

It's just that in 2002, there are no professional writers, everyone is writing for fun, and there are no daily updates.

These 8 works were finally discussed with the authors, and only then did they come together.

Among them is "Toad"'s work "Tianpeng Aspect", which has also received a very good response.

However, the most important show among the 8 works is "Fantasy Westward Journey: The Great Wilderness".

Moreover, in order to let everyone support the author, Qidian Chinese Network also asked the authors of the 8 works on the shelves to post a chapter of their testimonials.

The so-called testimonial on the shelves means to tell everyone that it is on the shelves.

Well, that's obvious.

What is the dark thing, do you still want to say, just ask for a subscription.

Do you still need to be notified when it is on the shelves?

everybody knows.

But asking for a subscription and not asking for a subscription, the effect is completely different.

If you don't ask, some readers will think that you are not short of money, and it doesn't matter whether you order or not.

Please ask, I feel a little embarrassed seeing your book for a long time, so I will order yours.

As the starting point, the number one white in the world, that is, Chen Yu, naturally wrote a chapter of his testimonials.

However, unlike others, Chen Yu's testimonial on the shelf was written so shamelessly.

The full text is as follows.

[Everyone, I am the number one Bai in the world, also known as the White God.

It's going to be on the shelves tomorrow, but it doesn't matter to me whether it's on the shelves or not.

But if you beg me to put it on the shelf, then I will put it on the shelf.

They said that after it is put on the shelves, everyone can subscribe and support the genuine version, and I can make money by writing novels.

I am speechless about this.

Would a chairman like me value the money for writing novels?

However, since it's on the shelves, forget it, and don't care about the money. After it's on the shelves, I promise to update three chapters.

There can be no more updates in the three chapters.

As for after the third chapter...

decide as things go.

Although Baishen doesn't care about money, I care about subscription results.

If the grades are not good, let alone three chapters, I will show you the eunuch that day.

Whether you want my eunuch or want me to continue writing, you can figure it out...]

The testimonials of this chapter are written very happily by Chen Yu.

Indeed.

He is not short of money, and he writes novels purely to advertise the game.

Now that the advertising task is completed, it stands to reason that he should be a eunuch, just like the previous book.

However, in line with the attitude of being responsible for the readers, Chen Yu decided to write more chapters when he has time.

It’s just that writing a novel takes too much time. It takes an hour or two to write a chapter. As the chairman of Huanyu Technology, Chen Yu has to go to school and manage the company, so he really doesn’t have much time.If readers don't subscribe at this time, then it's really time to be a eunuch.

It's just that Chen Yu's extremely arrogant testimonial on the shelf, let alone it, it really works.

"I'll go, Baishen can update three chapters after being put on the shelves, awesome."

"Well, as Baishen said, three chapters, no more three chapters."

"Bai Shen, damn it, brother, I've paid up. If you don't get more than three chapters, I'll fight you hard."

"Baishen, please don't be an eunuch, we'll go charge the money right away."

In fact, it doesn’t cost much to read a book, some only need a few dollars.

Although this VIP listing model has just been launched, many people do not support it.

But you don't support someone who supports you.

Especially those die-hard fans of No. [-] White in the World, they really liked his novels.

Of course, apart from No. [-] Bai in the World, there are also other novels following the trend at this time.

But they always read and read, and always feel that something is missing, and they still think that No. [-] Bai in the World is well written.

Now that it's on the shelves, Baishen promises to update three chapters, and the three-chapter novel is only a few cents.

How many cents do not support?

Since then, there really have been no such talented authors writing novels.

Of course, this is Chen Yu's side.

On the side of some other authors, there is more or less support.

In any case, after reading the novels written by the author for so long, I feel somewhat emotional.

Previously, these authors wrote for free, without any income.

You can't always let people write to you for free every day.

If you don't support him or not, then the author probably starved to death.

Yes.

Even if some readers said that there will be pirated versions after they are put on the shelves, many fans still expressed their support for the original version.

12 noon the next day.

This is the time when the 8 works of Qidian Chinese Network will be put on the shelves.

The VIP charging mode was opened on time at 12 o'clock.

Chen Yu wrote the first three chapters in the backstage early on. Seeing that the VIP chapter function has been activated in the backstage, click to upload.

"Don't know how many subscriptions there are."

"I don't know, it depends on the situation."

Not only Chen Yu was watching, Zhang Jianming, Li Nan, and Xie Zhenyi were also staring at Chen Yu's backstage at this time.

Zhang Jianming, Li Nan, and Xie Zhenyi are so concerned about starting a novel website.

Although the novel website looks promising, but the money scene is mediocre, and I really can't make much money.

And it's exhausting, the investment is okay, so I don't have time to do it myself.

They stared at the background just to see how many readers were willing to support the genuine version.

After all, their YY music network will also launch a VIP electronic music charging model later on.

One is text charges, the other is music charges, there is no difference in essence.

"Mr. Chen, the starting point model is to charge by chapter?"

"Well, it's not by chapter, it's 2 cents per thousand words. A chapter of a novel has about 3000 words, and a chapter is 6 cents."

2 points for a thousand words is the setting for the early starting point.

In the previous life, with the increase in prices, ordinary members have increased to 5 points per thousand words, but if you are a VIP member, you only need 4 points per thousand words.

If you are a senior VIP member, you will get 3 points for a thousand words.

"Then our music can also be billed according to how much each song is."

Refer to the charging model for each chapter of the starting point, Xie Zhenyi said.

"can."

Chen Yu nodded: "The price will be charged at 1 cents per song."

There is no precedent for the charging model of electronic music. Before that, music was sold in the form of albums.

Each album has 10 short songs and more than 20 long ones.

Even if you just want to hear one song, you have to buy the whole album.

The cost of an album is about 20 yuan, and the pirated album is cheaper, but it is also 3-5 yuan.

The price of 1 cent can be said to be very cheap.

Even if you buy 10 songs, the total cost is only 1 yuan, which is cheaper than pirated albums.

Of course, this is electronic music, the kind of album without a physical body, maybe everyone will not try it all at once.

However, after the popularity of mp3 in the future, you may find it inconvenient to carry physical albums.

"Is the price of 1 dime a song too low?"

Li Nan felt that the price was set too low, so he suggested.

"In the beginning, that's the only way to decide."

The Vip charging model has to be implemented step by step. Although the price of 1 cents a song is a bit low, it can stimulate users to buy.As long as the user spends money to buy the first time, there will be a second time.If they don't even want to buy the first time, there can be no second or third time.

"Besides, 1 dime is actually not necessarily low."

Chen Yu said: "It seems that the price of 1 cents is low, but if the volume is large, the business of 1 cents can be done. For example, if there are 10 subscribers to a song, 100 million subscribers, 1000 million subscribers Subscribe... Tell me, how much is his profit?"

"It's impossible for 1000 million people to subscribe."

This volume is so huge that it is almost unbelievable.
