"This …" Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's words, Ko Gohon anxiously said, "If this batch of authors leave, our expenses will indeed decrease by quite a bit. But the number of updates for our books within three days will definitely decrease. If we lose … and this will also allow Hong Dali to win over the hearts of the people. I'm afraid that by then …"
"The business world is like a battlefield. There's no need to be kind." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm as he slowly said, "Once these people who bought the books at a high price leave, a large number of recommendation spots will definitely be empty. That's when those authors who have a share of the profits will take over. If the website wants to earn money, these authors who have a share of the profits will definitely have potential. If the price of those authors who bought the books is too high, it won't be beneficial to the future development of the website. "
"I know all this, but …" Ko Gohon asked, "But what about our bet with Hong Dali? Once these authors leave, they'll definitely go to Zhong Dian website. Isn't this equivalent to strengthening Hong Dali's power? "
"That's easy." Shiroishi Kazuma said, "Two days later, we'll hold an essay competition. It'll be carried out according to the categories, and we promise that as long as the results are outstanding, they'll be able to obtain the recommendation of our website through all channels. With such great benefits, those authors will definitely actively participate, and we won't have to spend any money. "
"Uncle Kazuma, you're really amazing!" Ko Gohon listened with his eyes wide open. "In this way, Hong Dali's side is equivalent to taking over those authors who ran back. But those authors came out from their place and then went back, there'll definitely be a grudge! And we can throw away that huge burden. Together with this essay competition, after we win this bet, by then, our website will completely rise up. "
"En, this time, Young Master Gohon, you've finally thought it through." Shiroishi Kazuma lightly smiled and said, "The author of 'Martial Spirit' is dead. Such a good opportunity to create hype, do you really think I don't know? Even if he does something, so what? It's just a few hundred authors, it's not a big problem. Alright, if there's nothing else, let's hang up. I'm discussing the game's matters here. "
"OK, then Uncle Kazuma, I'll leave first!"
After hanging up the call, Ko Gohon then leaned back on the sofa in satisfaction and laughed loudly. "Hahaha, this time, Hong Dali has really suffered a double loss! He willingly gave me a million yuan to buy the copyright, but in the end, he took over so many fixed-rate writers. This time, it will definitely be troublesome for them. On my side, I can get rid of this tumor of fixed-rate writers, and the website will develop well. When Uncle Kazuma starts the game again, I believe that my father will definitely be satisfied this time, hahahaha! "
…
In the Feng Yun authors group chat —
Tian Yuanlong: "Let me tell everyone one thing, Feng Yun website has started an essay competition! All six categories of essay competitions! As long as he makes it into the shortlist, he'll be recommended by all channels in the future, and the website will support him vigorously. He might very well become the next Supreme God! "
Author One: "Really? I'll go take a look! I must definitely participate in this essay competition! Opportunities don't always come by! "
Tian Yuanlong: "Of course it's true, participate in the essay competition, young man!"
…
Two days later.
"Young Master, Chief, the current effect of the essay competition is quite good!" General Manager Liu beamed as he reported. "Although quite a number of writers left because of Luo Xue's matter, after the essay competition was released this time, the number of new books instantly skyrocketed. Currently, the total number of books updated in three days has already exceeded the 5,500 mark. It's already more than 500 more than the number of books updated in three days on Zhong Dian website, and it's still increasing rapidly! Also, our smartphone Feng Yun app has already started to be promoted. Currently, the number of installed units has already exceeded 5 million! "
"Hahaha, good! Good! "Ko Gohon laughed loudly and said," Uncle Kazuma is still the best! This time, we've already won for sure! No matter what Hong Dali's side does, they won't be able to escape from our palms! "
"Everyone pursues profits." Shiroishi Kazuma lightly sipped his tea and nonchalantly said, "As long as we give them enough benefits, everything will naturally be simple. After this time's victory, we'll proceed steadily in the future. When the scale of our smartphone Feng Yun app increases, the prospects of this novel website will be very good. "
"Yes, yes, that's for sure!" Ko Gohon took two goblets and the best Malbec wine and poured a glass for each of them. He smiled and said, "Come, Uncle Kazuma, cheers!"
"Cheers."
…
Tianjing City center, Sangle headquarters building.
"CEO Hong, the financial report regarding the smartphone reading app has been calculated. CEO Hong, CEO Liu, and CEO Mu, please take a look." The secretary passed three reports of about 20 pages to Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie. Then, he stood on the spot and waited for Hong Weiguo's instructions.
Hong Weiguo nodded and said, "Mm, OK. You may leave first."
"Yes." Xiao Liu instantly walked out.
The three of them picked up the financial report, and Hong Weiguo carefully looked at it. "Currently, once the smartphone reading app was launched, it received everyone's love. This reading app is very convenient, and it's very convenient to find books. Furthermore, it's not very harmful to the eyes. Thus, the number of downloads is very fast now. Ever since it was launched, the total number of installed units has already exceeded 30 million, and it's still continuously increasing. Even various big smartphone distributors have started to apply for our smartphone reading app to become the software that comes with their new smartphones.
"According to the statistics, currently, the amount of consumption brought by the smartphone reading app these few days has reached 6,255,647 yuan, and it's still increasing crazily. After deducting various expenses, I believe that this year's profit alone can reach more than 1.5 billion. "
"1.5 billion, not bad." Looking at the financial report in his hands, Hong Weiguo praised. "Good fellow, this isn't a small figure."
Mu Tie, who was at the side, was also very satisfied with the financial report. He said, "This is only the initial profit. The most important thing is that this investment is small, but the return is very high. We only spent a few million in program fees and a total of less than 30 million in online publicity. To speak the truth, I didn't expect it to be so good. "
Adding up to an investment of less than 40 million, yet they could obtain an annual profit of close to 1.5 billion. No one would believe this ratio even if they told others.
"The prospects are great, but it's a pity that there's also a lot of trouble." Liu Yihui touched his forehead, a little worried. He said, "The bigger the cake, the more people will drool. Recently, that Feng Yun website has been in the limelight, and it seems like they intend to snatch the cake from us. Moreover, I've seen all his tricks, and they're indeed watertight. "
"Yes, according to the intelligence, these are all done by the chief consultant of Toyoda Conglomerate, Shiroishi Kazuma." Hong Weiguo said in a deep voice, "Moreover, this time, Ko Gohon has a 50 million bet with my Dali. Although the amount is not big, the problem is, if such a big piece of cake is given to the Jabanese, how can I be willing to accept it? "
"Indeed." Mu Tie thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This Shiroishi Kazuma is indeed powerful. Now that he has the upper hand, all the openings have been blocked by him. Currently, I don't have any confidence as to how to break out of this situation. "
"Me too." Liu Yihui agreed. "At this level, once he has the upper hand, it's very difficult to turn the tables. Sigh, Old Hong, if we really can't do it this time, just admit it. With Shiroishi Kazuma's help, it's not a big deal even if Dali loses. "
Hong Weiguo frowned and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Let's try harder. Although Dali usually doesn't care about winning or losing, he can't accept losing to the Jabanese! "
"That's true, sigh."
Liu Yihui and Mu Tie naturally understood Hong Weiguo's feelings. The Hong Family and Toyoda Conglomerate had a feud of tens of years. Now that they had lost again, they naturally couldn't accept it no matter what. Until the very last moment, they definitely couldn't admit defeat.
"Oh right!" Suddenly, Mu Tie's eyes lit up as he said, "We can't think of a solution, but it doesn't mean that others can't! Should we ask Jianye? That fellow is really black-bellied, he might have a solution! "
"Alright! I'll ask him! "
Very quickly, the laptop was ready, and Hong Tu's wrinkled face appeared. He asked, "Weiguo, what's the matter?"
"The bet between Dali and Ko Gohon is nearing, and we don't have any way to break out of this situation." Hong Weiguo despondently said, "The chief consultant of Toyoda Conglomerate, Shiroishi Kazuma, is helping Ko Gohon behind the scenes. These few days, a series of tricks has caught us by surprise."
"Mm, I've heard of this." Hong Tu didn't have any good ideas either. "I didn't think that he would actually personally take action. Back then, this old fellow gave advice and suggestions to Toyoda Conglomerate, and every step was linked to the point where the enemy couldn't retaliate. It's difficult. "
"That's right. Oh right, Dad, where's Jianye?" Hong Weiguo anxiously said, "Why don't we ask Jianye and see if he has any good ideas?"
Hong Tu nodded and said, "OK, I'll call him over now."
Very quickly, Hong Jianye's face appeared, full of an annoying expression. "Aiyo, Weiguo, why did you think of calling me? Is there any good news? "
"You know about the bet between Dali and Ko Gohon, right?" Hong Weiguo anxiously said, "Do you have any good ideas to help Dali? Money is a small matter, but if you ask us to admit defeat, I won't be able to take this lying down! "
"You're talking about the bet on the novel website this time?" Upon hearing Hong Weiguo mention this matter, Hong Jianye could only express deep regret. "These two days, I've also been thinking about this problem. The other party's every step is very impressive, it's not easy to handle. But on the other hand, if Dali can force Shiroishi Kazuma to personally make a move, this itself is considered a win. In the end, it doesn't matter even if he really loses — the key is that I really don't have any good ideas. This Shiroishi Kazuma does things very meticulously, there's not a single flaw at all! "
"Could it be that I can only admit defeat?" Hong Weiguo bitterly smiled and said.
"But speaking of which, it's a little too early to admit defeat now." Hong Jianye suddenly sniggered and said, "Why don't you ask Hong Dali? Although this fellow is always carefree, he really has a lot of ideas. "
"Ah?" Hong Weiguo said in surprise, "This child has no concept of winning or losing, what's the use of asking him?"
"Having no concept is having no concept, having ideas is having ideas. These are two different things." Hong Jianye twitched his mouth and said, "Even if he's unwilling, wouldn't it be over if you force him to say some ideas? You're his father, after all, he'll have to give you face, right? "
"That's right! How did I forget about this? " Hong Weiguo fiercely slammed the table and loudly shouted towards the door, "Xiao Liu, immediately go to Chenhui Building and call this little rascal over!"
"OK, CEO Hong."
