"Idiot!" Ko Gohon was furious and pushed the bodyguard down. Then, he clutched his chest and staggered to the sofa, dispiritedly saying, "This Hong Dali, who exactly is he … Damn it, why is he so popular no matter what he does?! Why?! " Why?! "
After all, Ko Gohon wasn't a fool. He was very clear about what it meant to have an installed capacity of more than 10 million at the start.
Though he didn't understand the novel website, Ko Gohon at least understood one thing — this time, Hong Dali had taken the lead again. More than 10 million installed capacity, that was equivalent to more than 10 million unique IP visits. It was completely different from the previous 3 million!
It was a pity that he'd just invested 200 million into Hong Dali, intending to ruthlessly attack him. In the end, he'd just thrown in 200 million, and before he could even see the ripples — that lake had already turned from water to ice and was completely frozen. He definitely wouldn't be able to see anything at all …
As expected, after the bodyguard finished speaking, he added, "Now, those authors that we've poached can't sit still anymore. They're all asking to go back. Young Master, if these people write a few hundred thousand words and leave unfinished, then our website's credibility will be completely gone. This money … this money … I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to see any results … "
To the authors, the fixed price indeed looked very good, but it was still incomparable to the income of Zhong Dian website which had instantly increased their traffic by three times. Previously, their income for every thousand words on Zhong Dian website was about 20 to 30 yuan. Now, with the data of the smartphone reading app, it was definitely not a rare thing for the subscription to instantly increase by five to seven times. The most crucial problem was that the prospects were far greater than writing the fixed price here.
"No! No! I can't just let it go like this, definitely not! "After a short moment of absent-mindedness, what followed next was hysterical madness! Ko Gohon had always thought highly of himself. If he were to admit his failure just like this, how could that be possible? Thus, after he calmed down, Ko Gohon fiercely said, "Increase the royalties of those authors by 50%! This time, though Hong Dali is ahead of us, even if we have to throw money at him, we must beat him down! "
"OK!" The bodyguard instantly agreed.
"Also!" Ko Gohon continued. "Immediately contact the software production company. They'll make a smartphone reading app. We'll also immediately launch a reading software called Feng Yun Reading. Then, announce to everyone that as long as they download Feng Yun Reading, there'll be rewards! I don't believe it. So what if the idea is good? Even if I throw money at you, I'll smash you to death! "
"Yes!" The bodyguard immediately went out.
"Damn it, I don't believe that Hong Dali can beat me every single time. Definitely not!" Ko Gohon paced around in the room, feeling depressed. Suddenly, his phone rang. Ko Gohon picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number. He said unhappily, "I'm not free now! Let's talk about it later! "
"Aiya, Young Master Gohon, why are you so busy?" Hong Dali's annoying voice sounded. "You won't go back on your word, right?"
"Repudiation? Go back on my word? "Ko Gohon furiously said," I, Ko Gohon, never go back on my word! "
"Oh, didn't you say you wanted to gamble again a few days ago?" Hong Dali grinned, but his words didn't sound so good in his ears. "I was thinking that it should be time for me to go to the novel website, but it seems that I won again this time. That, when will you send me the 50 Prime Minister Grade limousines?"
"Idiot!" Ko Gohon was enraged and loudly roared. "When did I say that …"
Alas, before he finished speaking, he heard Hong Dali say strangely, "You didn't say that? That's really strange. Who said that in the voice recording in my phone call? It was clearly said that this time, we'll bet 50 million. Hmm, that's right, you said 'this time I'm going to bet 50 million yuan!'. Then, I said 'I'm not interested in betting'. Originally, I thought that it wasn't good to keep winning your cars like this, but in the end, you said 'bastard, you dare to look down on me!' and 'I want to bet 50 million with you! 50 million! '. "
Hong Dali imitated Ko Gohon's voice and spoke. He imitated it perfectly, and from time to time, people's laughter could be heard from the surroundings.
"That's what happened. That's what the situation is." This damned guy who wished he could get someone to beat him up a hundred times continued to say, "Aiya, as the saying goes, if you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose … Forget it, it's really boring to play with a retard who doesn't have any credibility. Since Young Master Gohon didn't bet with me before, then forget it …"
"Let's bet. But this time, don't be happy too early." Ko Gohon shouted, "You haven't won yet, I definitely won't admit that you've won! This is only the first day, let's wait and see! "
"Oh … Actually, I'm just casually saying it." Hong Dali's voice was really as infuriating as one could imagine. "Originally, if you don't admit it, then forget it. Anyway, I didn't intend to bet on this from the start …"
Ko Gohon roared at the phone, "Bet! I must bet! Hong Dali, just you wait! I, Ko Gohon, never go back on my words! If I say that I'll bet, then I'll bet! "
"Really! Alright then … "Hong Dali calmly said," But there should be a time, right? This thing doesn't seem to have an effect so easily in a short period of time. The key is that it's not certain how it'll be counted as winning or losing … "
"Just two weeks!" Ko Gohon roared. "Two weeks later, we'll see whose website has the highest number of updated works! The number of updated books within three days, whoever has the most wins! "
"Alright then … Honestly speaking, why do you like to gamble so much? I hate gamblers." Just then, Hong Dali's tone was as if he was greeting an old friend and asking about his well-being. "Oh right, Young Master Gohon, that, are the injuries of your bodyguards better? Aiya, previously, Sister Xiaoyi and the other two didn't hold back. I didn't expect your bodyguards to be so weak, I'm really sorry. But I won't be paying for their medical fees … "
Upon hearing Hong Dali's words, Ko Gohon instantly flew into a rage and scolded. "Hong Dali! You're despicable, you're shameless! This isn't over! Not over! "
"I know!" The problem was that Hong Dali very shamelessly admitted it. "I've never said that I'm a gentleman! Am I a prodigal, or a superprodigal, so I've never said that I'm a good person. Erm, you go and do what you need to do, I'll go and play first. "
"Go and die!" Ko Gohon angrily threw his phone onto the floor, then violently stomped on it with his feet.
After the phone was stomped into pieces, Ko Gohon finally vented a little of his anger. Panting with rage, he sat on the sofa, gritted his teeth and said, "Idiot! Idiot! Hong Dali, this isn't over! Not over! Who asked you to be complacent! Who asked you to be happy! This time, even if I have to throw in a few hundred million, I'll still kill you! Kill you! "
Thinking up to this point, Ko Gohon roared, "Someone come! Someone come! "
"Young Master, I'm here!" The bodyguard hurriedly ran in. "Young Master, what instructions do you have?"
"Immediately call the book website's manager over. I want to ask him how we can quickly increase the number of updated books. Quickly go!" Ko Gohon gritted his teeth. "Hong Dali, I can't possibly let you be complacent forever! Definitely not! "
Very quickly, a middle-aged man ran in with his forehead full of sweat. Once he saw Ko Gohon, he hurriedly greeted him. "Young Master, you're looking for me?" This person was the current general manager of Feng Yun website, CEO Liu.
"Manager Liu." Ko Gohon's eyes stared at him like a poisonous snake. "I'll fork out another 100 million and request that you increase the royalties of all the authors that we poach over by 50%. Stabilize them for me! Also, I request that you increase the number of updated works within two weeks. Do you have any good ideas?! "
"Ah? Two weeks? "CEO Liu's eyes turned. After thinking for a while, he said," It's really not easy to do it in the long term. But in the short term, it's still very easy. We only need to spend money to hire writers to write manuscripts. That's very simple. If the speed is slower in two weeks, it'll only be 50 to 60 thousand words. If we do this, it won't be a problem to produce a few thousand books within two weeks! "
"Hehe! Let's do this! " Ko Gohon fiercely slapped his thigh. "Go and contact me right now. I want to pull these people over as soon as possible, the more the better. Set a higher price. Don't care about the quality, just the quantity. Do you understand?!"
"Understood!" CEO Liu instantly went out.
"Humph humph, Hong Dali, do you really think that I don't have any ideas? Let's see what you can do this time! " Ko Gohon's fists were clenched so tightly that his veins were almost popping out. "I want you to spit out everything you've taken, including the principal and interest! Spit it out! "
…
In the Feng Yun website authors' group chat.
Author one: "Good news, good news! Our fixed royalties have all increased by 50%! Just like that, it's increased by 50%. This boss is really rich this time. I've never seen such a ferocious one! "
Author two: "Yes, my fixed royalties are 50 yuan per 1,000 words. Now, it's 75 yuan per 1,000 words. This is simply throwing money away! If I write two to three million words, damn, I'll also be tall, rich and handsome! "
Author three: "Sigh, why don't we wait and see?"
Author four: "En, I've decided not to leave first. Anyway, they're giving us money, what's there to be afraid of. They're so rich. But honestly speaking, I'm really quite curious. Who exactly is so generous? They're totally throwing money away. They have so much money that they don't know where to spend it, right? "
The others: "Who cares about them. Just focus on writing your books. That's all money!"
…
In the various authors' groups.
Gunner one: "Extra, extra. Feng Yun website has a rich man who wants to buy high-volume novels. They only look at the word count and not the quality. Starting from 5 yuan per 1,000 words. This is a rare large sum! Everyone, let's hurry up. The chance to earn quick money is here! "
Gunner two: "What the heck, is this true or not? I still have a lot of useless manuscripts and was worrying about how to deal with them. This time, I finally have a market, hahaha! "
Gunner three: "Yes, yes. I have quite a few useless manuscripts. This is simply money falling from the sky!"
Gunner four: "Stop talking. Everyone, let's hurry up!"
