Returning to 2000: Becoming Famous Overnight Through Literary Plagiarism

Ning Xia, who worked decisively and was respectfully called "Lord Ning" by industry insiders, returned to her high school days overnight.

Her mother, who had suffered from illness and...

Chapter 292 [Six Sixes of Good Luck]

The name of Xie Guangyuan’s group is [Six Six Great Fortune].

A group of people who are in their thirties on average and make money by writing, actually came up with such an uncreative and somewhat childish name.

After seeing the message in the group, Xie Guangyuan was really confused. He had only one thought: when did he say he wanted to change jobs?

The group is full of veterans in the industry, and they are all old friends of Xie Guangyuan.

In this era when meeting online friends is not popular, this group of people get together almost every year, taking turns to treat each other, and it is like traveling at the same time.

There are people from all over the world in the group, and now Xie Guangyuan will always have someone to entertain him wherever he goes.

Group Message:

"Guangyuan is really dishonest. He didn't even inform us when he changed jobs."

"Who said it wasn't? Didn't they just finish the outline for their new book? What a grand show! They've already launched the pre-promotion, and it's even on the headlines on Weibo. Wow."

"This is such a grand display! This guy is really doing great now. He made a fortune from the novel's copyright fees before the New Year. And now there's such a big fuss about this novel that hasn't even been published yet. It looks like it's going to be a hit before it's even been released."

"I've said before that Guangyuan is a big shot in the industry, but this guy modestly said he's not. He's exposed now."

Someone jokingly said: "Guangyuan is quite old, but he has a thin face."

Xie Guangyuan: “…”

No, what does this have to do with anything?

He himself didn't know it, but this group of people made it sound like the truth.

After flipping through the chat history, I saw that the most mentioned thing was the Weibo headlines. Xie Guangyuan, the confused protagonist, immediately ran over to take a look.

After watching it, I couldn't help laughing and crying, and I completely understood what was going on.

He said he didn't even know he wanted to change jobs, so how come these people talked about it as if it were true.

I see.

Qidian is now the leading company in the industry. He would be very upset if he did not publish his new book on Qidian but went to his rival Liunian.com to publish his book.

The more you are in the industry, the more you can feel the gap between other websites and Qidian.

Putting aside other things, the share of rewards earned is 30% to 40% higher than other websites, especially for writers who are well-known in the industry.

The majority of the income went into their own hands, and the tips were not a small amount even for them.

In just less than a year, Qidian went from being on the verge of bankruptcy to becoming the leading company, and it is a legendary figure in the industry.

"You guys are talking like it's true, how come I, the person involved, don't know?"

"Or will one of you help me pay the penalty?"

This is half explanation and half ridicule.

What he signed with Qidian now is an author contract, not a work contract. Once the contract is signed, can he change the website whenever he wants? There are tens of millions of liquidated damages.

How desperate must he be to do such a thing.

Xie Guangyuan didn't know what others thought about the contract change, but he was happy to see it.

He had no plans to change jobs, and Qidian had always done things in a very honest way and had not done anything to deliberately cheat them.

Qidian is now not lacking in popularity, not to mention the heat,

After changing the contract this time, he is no longer an employee, but Qidian is working for him. Their relationship can only be described as a partnership.

As for the author's appointment, Xie Guangyuan believes that the website is just worried that they will create a sham account and write books on other websites.

Now that the share has been increased, it is much more than what he could earn from running a small account. In this case, this contract has more advantages than disadvantages.

Most of the income from my novels went into his pocket. To put it bluntly, Qidian only made some agency fees now.

Xie Guangyuan had no objection to letting others make this money.

When it comes to changing contracts, which website's author has the least objection? Of course, it's Qidian.

Moreover, when the contract was renewed before the New Year, Xie Guangyuan finally realized how many great writers Qidian had.

When the writer saw the hall at that time, even though he knew there would be a lot of people, he was still shocked to see so many people in person.

Of course, among this group of great writers, he is still one of the most prominent ones.

Because he is a platinum writer, the so-called Supreme God, the writer with the highest starting point level.

Before Qidian was reorganized, Qidian had three main drivers. Once these two left, he was the only one left.

But too many excellent writers have emerged in the past six months, and 80% of them are writers who have been promoted to great masters in the past six months.

In addition to him, there are four others who were promoted to platinum writers this time, including "Landlady" and "Bai Zhuge Ge".

I agreed to come at that time because I wanted to take this opportunity to meet these two talented writers who I had only heard of but never seen in person. Who knew that neither of them came, and many people who left were very disappointed.

Many people here came to see these two big guys, but who knew that they never showed up at all.

At that time, Jiao Bo also asked Ningxia for his opinion.

She was asked if she wanted to meet these pillars of society as one of them, but Ningxia was worried about being exposed and didn't want to show up in public, so she refused directly.

After reading the headlines on Weibo, Xie Guangyuan also thought about it. Nowadays, which website does not keep a close eye on its own authors? Before Qidian changed its merger, other websites had already done so. Qidian was just following the trend.

Just because there is a writer's contract, it is not as easy to poach people from other websites as it is to sign them once, especially for top writers.

After searching around, Xie Guangyuan didn't find any.

There are only a few top writers, and those who can be called top writers must be at least platinum level.

Which website is so stupid as to let such a person go?

Or did Liunian.com spend a huge amount of money to poach a platinum writer from some other website?

If we exclude the issue of the contract, he actually has a candidate in mind who can make the move.

Others may not know, but Xie Guangyuan actually knows some inside information that others don’t know.

It is said that in order to retain the two people, Qidian has allegedly offered dry shares.

If these two people really have shares, it is not impossible that they would not sign the contract to sell themselves.

As soon as Xie Guangyuan came out, the people in the group immediately noticed it. When they heard Xie Guangyuan deny it and even made fun of the contract, many people belatedly remembered the penalty for breach of contract.

If we look at it again, we all feel that it is unlikely to be Xie Guangyuan.

Xie Guangyuan is not stupid. Why didn’t he publish his new book on Qidian but on Liunian.com?

Some people think so, and of course some people think more. If Liunian.com really wants to spend money, it is not impossible to poach Xie Guangyuan.

Who would complain about having too much money these days?

"It's really not Guangyuan you?"

Seeing that this group of people still didn't believe it, Xie Guangyuan told them his own guess. There was no need for outsiders to be involved.

"You're not me."

"But I do have a guess."

"I think the netizens on Weibo are all detectives. Their analysis makes a lot of sense. If you ask me who is most likely to go to Liunian.com, I also think Bai Zhuge is the most likely."
