Yao Yuncai looked at Zhuang Yuan with a curious look.
Zhuang Yuan also felt that his reaction might be a little wrong in the eyes of outsiders.
He immediately made amends: "Okay, okay, Xia Xia, you are my ancestor now, whatever you say is what I will do."
"I'll just pretend I know nothing, okay?" He walked to the side with a look of grievance on his face, looking back from time to time as he left.
Zhuang Yuan’s reaction just now was just like when she faced the company boss.
Now this reaction actually dispelled Yao Yuncai's fleeting doubt.
Ningxia looked at the time. There were still ten minutes left. She didn't want to be late.
He said bluntly, "It's fine to start a new book, but I can't guarantee when it will begin serialization."
Ningxia was worried that other things might delay it, so it didn't give a specific time.
Yao Yuncai was very happy to hear Ningxia agreed. She knew that writers needed inspiration to write books. How could she ask others to write books whenever she wanted?
Ningxia gave his current cell phone number to Yao Yuncai and trotted towards Zhuang Yuan.
Zhuang Yuan watched Yao Yuncai get on the car and asked worriedly, "Boss, why are you helping Yao Yuncai? We are enemies in the same industry.
Have you forgotten that Liunian.com followed Lanjie.com in poaching writers from our company last year?"
"If it weren't for you, our company would have gone bankrupt long ago."
Zhuang Yuan really couldn't understand why Ningxia did this.
Of course Jiao Bo investigated the poaching incident last time, and Liunian.com just took advantage of it. The two websites that wanted to wipe out the employees were Lanjie and Shuyue.
Other small websites are just joining in the fun like Liunian.com.
In fact, Ningxia was a little surprised that Liunian.com did not join Lanjie and Shuyue in taking advantage of the situation.
If these three companies join forces, Qidian will have no chance of reviving.
There was an episode when the mainstay of Qidian was poached by Liunian.com. At that time, most of the writers of the website were poached by these two companies.
Lin Xiang, one of the original pillars of Qidian, jumped to Liunian.com because the trend was unstoppable. After the writers left, there was no point for him to stay.
But after listening to the empty and pretentious words from Lanjie Novel Network, I felt that it was unreliable, so I took the initiative to contact Liunian Network.
Of course, there are writers of the same level who are classified differently for different reasons, but these are not the main reasons.
Fortunately, Lin Xiang did not sign Lan Jie.
The writers who signed with Lanjie.com at that time are now signing unfair terms.
Of course, so many people are willing to sign because the profit-sharing ratio is very attractive, but the contract explicitly prohibits writers from opening sham accounts and requires them to update a certain number of words every day. If they fail to do so, they will be deducted money, and the amount is very high.
But at the same time, the various bonuses are also very attractive.
After Lin Xiang saw the contract, he felt that what was even more outrageous was that the minimum contract period was five years, and the contract was signed by the writer himself, not a pen name. The writer, who was easy to talk to, was fooled into signing for eight years.
Of course, not everyone will be fooled by Lanjie.com's empty promises and various favorable conditions. It is possible that the conditions are a little favorable, but if they are too favorable, then of course they will have to pay an equal price.
A five-year contract is fine, but signing a writer as a person is not something everyone can accept.
If you really sign such a contract, it is equivalent to selling yourself to the website, and it is not a matter of a word from the other party.
No matter how well you write, it’s useless if I don’t like you and don’t give you traffic.
After becoming suspicious, many of the writers who were poached at that time switched to Liunian.com.
It also made Liunian.com grow a lot.
The original writers of Lanjie.com also had to sign the same unfair terms. After the later writers saw Qidian achieve new success, they directly jumped to Qidian.
Zhuang Yuan said this with a smug look on his face, "These people are asking for trouble. Humph, they got ripped off."
Ningxia only knew all this after hearing Zhuang Yuan's next words.
In fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that these writers who jumped from Qidian.com did not perform very well in their novels on Lanjie.com. For the same type of books, the number of subscribers decreased by at least 10% to 15% compared with their original performance in Qidian.
These people are now having a lot of grievances, and some of them have regrets, especially now that Qidian has become the leader in the online novel industry. Qidian's current novels are even more of a weather vane for the online novel industry.
But what can you do if you regret it? The contract is there, and you can't just leave if you want to.
The two of them walked into the hall, talking and laughing.
All the authors whose novels are published today will be here. There are several of them standing in twos and threes in the lobby downstairs, dressed casually, the girls in jeans and down jackets, the boys in windbreakers.
At this time, he seemed out of place among the staff coming in and out of here.
Ningxia guessed that those people should be the writers who went to Qidian.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Zhuang."
The two of them had just come over, and the editor of Qiidian, who was standing with a few others, immediately greeted Zhuang Yuan when he saw him.
Although Zhuang Yuan is the deputy editor-in-chief, everyone has to behave themselves. As long as they are not in front of the editor-in-chief, everyone defaults to calling Zhuang Yuan editor-in-chief.
The writer next to him heard his editor calling the editor-in-chief,
Everyone immediately stood up straight and politely said, "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Zhuang."
This person is the editor-in-chief. The writers who were laughing just now immediately fell silent.
Everyone wants to make a good impression in front of the editor-in-chief.
Moreover, Zhuang Yuan has now become a legend in the hearts of these authors. He has signed two books, both of which are masterpieces.
After the reorganization of Qidian Novel Network, all the novels on its hands are unparalleled. Among the novels published this time, Editor-in-Chief Zhuang had nine books selected at once.
