Overseas negotiations were forced to be cancelled and all foreign capital withdrew.

The boss under the tree could only look up to the sky and sigh, lamenting the fate that had played such a trick on him.

Then he counted the cash on hand and found that he only had enough funds to last for half a year. In 2002, the Rongshuxia website changed hands, and its wandering fate began.

From Bestaman to Happy Media and finally to Shengda Literature.

However, when Shengda Literature was finally sold to Tencent, Rong Shuxia disappeared completely, which made Wan Feng very puzzled.

However, in this life, the road under the tree is not feasible.

It can go beyond Bestaman and Happy Media, but it is unlikely to reach Shengda Literature.

Shengda Literature was founded by Mr. Cheng San and his brother. Mr. Cheng San and his brother started their business because of the book "Legend".

Now that "Legend" has been produced by Huaguang Special Network, there is nothing for the two brothers to do. Mr. Cheng San is still working in Huaguang Special Network, so naturally Shengda will not appear.

Is it true that the website Rong Shuxia’s transition to Huanle Media marks the end of its life?

Wan Feng is now watching it build high-rise buildings and entertain guests.

Then watched it collapse along with the World Trade Center.

If you really need to, why not just buy it around May Day next year? Why hold an online competition?

However, this possibility is unlikely, as Rong Shuxia was originally sold to Bestaman for 10 million euros.

Let Wanfeng spend 10 million yuan to buy it?

That'll have to wait!

The reason why he doesn't organize any gimmicks like online literature competitions is that he knows what these authors need.

What they need is a further understanding of online literature and an environment suitable for online writers to survive.

Wan Feng knew what they needed, but these online authors didn’t know what they wanted to write.

Qidian has recruited more than ten new editors, most of whom are from Beiliao and Linji, and have all moved into the dormitory of Qidian Center.

When Wan Feng was free, he taught them about online literature. Only then did these confused editors understand what online literature was all about.

The novels signed on the website are all works with real Internet prototypes.

When Wan Feng sometimes doesn't have time to teach these editors, Zhang Xuan takes his place.

With the continuous progress of her fantasy novels and Wan Feng's constant encouragement, she now has a deep understanding of online literature and is qualified to explain online literature to editors and authors.

In fact, Wan Feng didn’t really take the first generation of online authors seriously. None of these people would become the great authors of the future. They all went into publishing or other fields.

The most important thing is that among this first batch of online authors, there are several people with crooked butts, such as the one who plays flying knives, the one who is too bent and is called Jiubadao, and the one who wrote about the city and was forgotten.

There were many people with problematic world views in that era, but for these people, it was not just a matter of having problematic world views.

He doesn't need authors who blame others for their fate, nor does he need authors who hysterically exaggerate the darkness of society, nor does he need authors who have Western values.

All he needs are pure online authors. If you sign a contract with my website, you just need to write novels that readers like within the legal framework.

I don't need your work to enlighten people or to have any spurring effect on society.

That's all nonsense. You are just people in your early twenties, and you have zero understanding of society. You haven't even figured out your own life plan. Isn't it nonsense to expect you to summarize society?

All you have to do is make your readers laugh and feel satisfied. You can talk about ideals appropriately, but don't talk about life.

This is Wan Feng’s requirement for authors on Qidian.com.

While others were having online competitions with great fanfare, Qidian.com was quietly doing what it was supposed to do.

Qidian.com now has 200,000 registered members and receives 30,000 to 50,000 visitors every day.

The number of resident authors has reached more than 5,000, and the number of contracted authors has once again increased to more than 500.

Qidian is constantly improving the various functions of its website. It now allows uploading covers and has opened a subscription income details column in the background. Everything is in preparation for the expected charging next summer.

However, Wan Feng still planned to pay attention to the author who wrote The Legend of Sun Wukong, because in his previous life, the author wrote this book in a column called Jin Yong Inn on Xinlang.com.

If this work appears in Jin Yong Inn in this life, Wan Feng plans to transfer it to Qidian.com and launch it as the first batch of paid works.

Of course, if not, forget it.

While Qidian.com was quietly doing what it was supposed to do, other people who were interested in literature were also busy.

There are some famous BBSs that must be mentioned here.

After the launch of the Xilu Forum in 1997, Wolongju became one of the earliest online literature forums and had a considerable influence.

Wenxue City was launched in March 1998, and Golden Bookstore was established in May of the same year, with nearly 30,000 visitors every day.

In August 1999, Hongxiutianxiang was launched.

In March 2001, Cuiweiju was opened. In the same year, Xiaoxiang Academy was established. In the same year, Yanyu Hongchen was established.

I must mention the website Yanyu Hongchen here.

A website founded in 2001, known as one of the three major literary websites in the early days, was finally completely closed in 2014. It is a pity.

In January of the same year, four literary forums, namely, Ziyuzile, Yiyiguxing, Hongchenge, and May Sky Luantan, announced their withdrawal from the West Road and established the Dragon's Sky Original Alliance website, becoming the first behemoth in the history of online literature.

At that time, no website had Longkong's resources, no author did not know Longkong, and no reader did not go to Longkong. No other book website could achieve the level of development and monopoly it had.

But unfortunately, Long Kong did not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand his business.

Half a year later, faced with the crazy growth of traffic, between purchasing new servers to expand capacity and going for physical publishing, the conservative Longkong chose the latter. After handing over the baton to Huanjian Book Alliance, Longkong became a forum for failed writers to complain and for online literature readers to communicate. This situation did not change at all until 20 years later.

As an online writer in the latter part of his previous life, Wan Feng wouldn't say he was familiar with everything, but he did know a lot.

When he was young, he was also a literary youth.

In the early days of the Internet, everything was chaotic and disorderly, and many websites were running around like headless flies.

Looking at these websites, only the three websites under Nanwan Network are on the right track.

At this time, Xinlang had become one of the three major portal websites in China, along with Wangyi and Sohu, and Xinlang had already subtly surpassed Wangyi and Sohu, two websites that were founded earlier than Xinlang.

The search engine Qiansou has dominated this field. In the two years since its establishment, Qiansou has started to make profits, and the amount of profits has reached nearly 10 million.
