"Not bad, not bad." Fang Tian nodded, walked over, and sat on the sofa.
"Hehe, Tian, the place I introduced is not bad, right?"
At this moment, Yang Fan was already lying on the massage bed, enjoying the massage with his eyes closed.
"Very good." Fang Tian nodded, satisfied.
"Sir, do you need anything? It's free for the first 100 yuan, "said the receptionist.
Fang Tian: "Give me a plate of fruit salad and milk tea."
"Okay. Please wait a moment. "The receptionist turned and walked out.
Soon, the receptionist placed the fruit salad and milk tea beside him. The foot massage technician also came in. She was a woman in her thirties.
It was good to enjoy it for free, but Yang Fan was worried. "Tian, won't this shop lose a lot if people enjoy it for free? Is there a big scam? "
Fang Tian drank a mouthful of milk tea, smiled, and said, "Isn't it too late for you to realize it now? Later, the owner of this shop, Sun Erniang, will come and kill you, then make you into a human meat bun. "
The two female technicians in the room laughed.
"Sir, you really know how to joke." The foot massage technician smiled and said, "Our new shop is just for word of mouth."
Many new massage shops would have such free activities when they opened. The purpose was just as the foot massage technician said, for word of mouth and to cultivate popularity. In the future, they would charge for it.
This was a very successful business model, and it was rare in this era.
Free first, then charge for it. It was so familiar.
Fang Tian smiled. Wouldn't the novel websites in the future use this model? Free plus VIP. Could the current Golden Jade Novel Website also use this model?
Fang Tian drank a mouthful of milk tea, looked at Yang Fan, and said, "How many users does Golden Jade Novel Website have now?"
"As of 8 o 'clock tonight, it's more than 1.5 million!" Yang Fan smiled happily.
Now the development of Jinyu Novel Network was much faster than expected. There was no other reason than there was a huge amount of application software. It was no exaggeration to say that Jinyu Novel Network was developing much faster than Dian Niang Novel Network.
Originally, Fang Tian thought that it would take one or two years before the VIP fees would be introduced. After all, the VIP fees were only introduced one or two years after the website was built.
But from the looks of it now, there was no need to wait any longer. They could directly push out the VIP fee!
Fang Tian asked, "Yang Fan, do you know the most important thing for our novel network to become the leader in the industry?"
Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Countless authors want to come to our website to write novels. A large number of excellent novels will appear and more platinum authors will be born."
Authors were definitely the most important resource for a novel website.
"You're right." Fang Tian snapped his fingers. "But there is a big premise. How can we attract countless authors to write novels on our website?"
"Eh?" Yang Fan thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good ideas.
He turned over and started massaging his back. "Tian, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes. VIP fee model! "Fang Tian put down the cup of milk tea heavily. His voice was so loud that it startled the two masseurs who were massaging.
He waved his hand and looked at the two masseurs. "Continue."
Yang Fan thought for a while and was a little surprised. "Tian, do you mean that our novel website will start paying for reading?"
Fang Tian nodded and said, "Now there are two kinds of people who serialize novels on our website.
The first kind is self-entertainment. Writing novels is purely a personal hobby, not for the purpose of making money.
The second kind is to display their works on our platform and strive for physical publication.
But, no matter which kind it is, it is not a long-term solution.
Only by opening the VIP fee model and letting authors earn money from electronic publishing will they have the motivation to create and be able to create excellent works. "
The reason was actually very simple. Where there was more money, there would naturally be more talents gathered, and a large number of good works would emerge.
With so many good novels on the website, readers would also flow to the website.
At that time, it would be unreasonable if Golden Jade Novel Website did not become the industry leader.
The idea was good, but Yang Fan was worried. "Will there be readers willing to pay to read online novels?"
Speaking of paying, readers were very sensitive. When the website's traffic would drop, would there still be people who would read the paid books?
"Yes." Fang Tian threw a grape into his mouth and said with certainty, "We can use the free plus VIP model. In other words, the first few hundred thousand words will be free, and then the VIP section will be charged. "
Hearing that, Yang Fan's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. It should be more acceptable to the readers."
Wasn't this massage parlor using the same model? They could massage for free now, but they would have to pay in the future. The method was the same.
Suddenly, Yang Fan thought of a very serious problem. "What about piracy? If our website charges, there will definitely be a large number of free pirated websites. From a technical point of view, it won't be difficult for them to steal the novels on our website. "
Piracy was indeed a problem. Even in the future, piracy was still a serious problem. Many readers would turn to pirated websites when they saw that they had to pay for the services.
Fang Tian pursed his lips and thought for a while. "This will take time. In the future, the netizens will gradually develop the habit of paying for the services. In short, we must pay for the VIP service. This is the only way out. "
In Feng Yu's previous life, although some websites had started to offer free services, it was proven that they could not compete with the VIP service. Free websites had many problems, such as the quality of the works and the number of readers.
Web novels were a typical interactive economy. A large group of fans who liked novels gathered together to read and write books, forming a good ecology.
The authors could be the readers, and the readers could also become the authors. The readers supported the authors, and paying to subscribe to the authors' works was also supporting themselves!
After that, Feng Yu chatted with Yang Fan for a long time. How to charge for novels? How to set up a monthly subscription system, etc. Fang Tian told Feng Yu about the future business model of the novel website. The website modification was his job.
When Dian Niang came up with the VIP model, many people in the industry were doubtful. But what about in the future? Dian Niang was already the leader of the online novel industry.
So, the VIP model was definitely the killer weapon of the online novel industry!
After that, Fang Tian and Yang Fan stopped talking about the website and chatted with the masseuse.
"Are both of you programmers?" The young lady who was massaging Yang Fan asked.
"Yes." Fang Tian nodded.
"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I feel that both of you are awesome." The young lady laughed.
Feng Yu and Feng Yu ate fruit salad while looking at the sea from the VIP room. The sea breeze blew, and it was a pleasant feeling!
At this moment, someone arrived.
Cao Jidan walked up to the second floor of the massage parlor and saw the receptionist. "Young lady, arrange VIP room 208 for me."
