"You … are … Mr. … King?" Xiaomi enunciated each word in disbelief.
Fang Tian smiled faintly and hung up the phone. "Why can't I be Mr. King? Do I still need to explain how amazing I am?"
That seemed to be the case. In less than two years, he had grown a company to such a large scale. Every application he developed was popular. It was not surprising that he could write a popular novel.
Looking at her expression, Fang Tian laughed and said, "Do you need me to log into the author's platform to prove it?"
"No need. I'm sure you are Mr. King." Xiaomi's tone suddenly became very certain.
Fang Tian was stunned and said, "Why are you so sure? Maybe I'm an imposter. "
Xiaomi smiled beautifully and said, "I'm so stupid. I should have known that Mr. King was you! Soft cloud technology, my Mr. King! "
King had always been Fang Tian's nickname. Wasn't Mr. King King Mr. King?
"Haha!" Fang Tian laughed and said, "Oh right, Xiaomi, you said last night that you would give Mr. King a big hug and a kiss. Did you do that?" After saying that, he opened his arms.
Xiaomi's face instantly turned red and said, "Boss, how can you be so naughty?"
An author dared to tease an editor. Probably only Fang Tian would dare to do that.
Looking at the editor Xiaomi's expression, Fang Tian could not help but laugh again. He said those words just to tease her.
Xiaomi asked, "Mr. King, why did you go to write novels?"
When it came to the main topic, Fang Tian's face became serious and said, "It's all for the popularity of the website. Look, how much traffic and popularity did the book bring to the website? "
Indeed, Xiaomi nodded. However, this boss was too amazing. He was good at programming and writing novels!
Since Mr. King was Fang Tian, everything was easy.
Xiaomi asked directly, "Does the website still need to pay you copyright fees?"
"What do you think?" Fang Tian asked with a smile.
Of course not. Xiaomi smiled. The website was opened by him. Paying for the copyright to her was like putting money from his left pocket into his right pocket. What was the point?
What's more, Golden Jade Novel Network had just been established, and the operating costs were very high. If they really paid 10 million to the authors, the pressure on the website would be quite great.
Now, he didn't have to pay a single cent of copyright fees.
At this moment, the waiter came over with a cup of coffee and placed it on the table.
Fang Tian sat down leisurely. Just as he was about to take a sip of coffee, he suddenly thought of something. "By the way, don't tell anyone about me writing novels?"
"Why? Her grades were so good? It's quite glorious. "Xiaomi was puzzled.
Fang Tian took a sip of his coffee, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm an IT person. To be precise, I'm someone who makes a living by developing software. In short, I'm living off a woman. I don't make a living by writing. “
"The reason why I wrote The Legend of the Sword and Fairy was to increase the popularity of the website. Now, I've achieved my goal.
"Mr. King won't write any more novels, so it doesn't matter if I don't keep this glory. Instead, it'll bring me some trouble if it's publicized."
Xiaomi smiled and said, "That's true. King should do something greater."
Fang Tian took a sip of his coffee and said, "VIP paid reading is about to be released. In other words, The Legend of the Sword and Fairy will be on sale soon. I hope it's not just a popular novel, but also a subscription best-selling novel. "
"Don't worry, I'll work hard." Xiaomi nodded.
In this era, it wasn't easy to launch paid reading. Even in the future, many people would curse when they heard that novels cost money to read.
"Thank you for your hard work." Fang Tian finished the last sip of his coffee and changed the topic, "By the way, has the fantasy world fulfilled their promise?"
"Not yet." Xiaomi shook her head.
Fang Tian said quickly, "Send someone to hurry them up."
Then, he got up and was about to leave the coffee shop.
Just then, his phone rang.
He looked at the number displayed on his phone. Hmph, it was unfamiliar.
Fang Tian picked it up and put it to his ear. "Who is it?"
"Hello, are you the author of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy, Mr. King?" A woman's voice came over.
How did she know his phone number?
Xiaomi saw his confusion and said, "A company wants to negotiate with you about the copyright. I gave them your contact information."
Fang Tian nodded. "Yes. Who are you? "
The woman smiled. "I'm the product manager of Xiyangyang Animation Culture Company. My surname is Chen."
"Manager Chen, why are you looking for me?" Fang Tian could guess her purpose.
Manager Chen smiled. "Here's the thing. My company is interested in the copyright of your novel and wants to adapt it into an animation. We want to talk to you about this. "
Fang Tian smiled. The value of the IP came out. Animation, the film company came looking for him.
Fang Tian sat back down and asked, "I want to know, how much is your company willing to pay for the copyright of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy?"
Manager Chen said, "We'll talk about the details when we meet."
"No." Fang Tian said, "I want to know how much sincerity you can offer."
Manager Chen thought for a while and put her phone on silent mode for a while. "At least 20 million!"
20 million! One book could bring in 10 million. And from her tone, the price could be higher.
Fang Tian smiled and said, "I'm sorry. The copyright of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy already belongs to Golden Jade Website. "
Manager Chen was surprised. "As far as I know, you haven't signed a contract with the website, right?"
Without a contract, the copyright was still in the hands of the author. Indeed, Fang Tian hadn't signed a contract with the website yet. If he did, the editor, Xiaomi, would have seen his identity.
Fang Tian cleared his throat and said, "I don't intend to sell the copyright of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy."
Manager Chen didn't want to give up. She tried to persuade Fang Tian for a long time, but he didn't agree. Finally, she hung up.
Fang Tian put down his phone and smiled. Twenty million yuan to buy this book? You are really dreaming, right? Even if they could offer a higher price, he wouldn't agree.
The commercial value of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy hadn't been fully realized yet. It looked like a lot of money, but it was actually sold cheaply.
Just like Ghost Blows Out the Light, it was popular all over the internet. It was said that the author only received a few million in copyright fees.
It looked like a lot, but how much would Ghost Blows Out the Light create in the future?
Next, Fang Tian made several calls.
Corpse Publisher called, saying that they could publish The Legend of the Sword and Fairy.
Film and Television companies called, saying that they could adapt The Legend of the Sword and Fairy into a TV series.
Games companies called, saying that they could develop The Legend of the Sword and Fairy into a game.
Fang Tian just laughed it off and rejected all of them.
Being an author at this level, he could be considered a successful person!
With one book becoming a god, many companies came to him!
…
At the headquarters of Fantasy World.
At this moment, the haggard and listless Wen Zhiyuan sat in front of the computer, looking at the screen absent-mindedly. There were several bottles of Red Bull in front of him.
He had been in this state for the past few days since he lost the battle.
Wen Zhiyuan, who was arrogant and said that he would defeat Golden Jade Network, no longer existed.
"Dongdong!" Someone outside the door said.
Wen Zhiyuan said listlessly, "Come in."
A male assistant in a white shirt walked in and said, "Boss, Golden Jade called to urge us to fulfill our promise as soon as possible. Should we … "
"Bang!" Wen Zhiyuan slammed the table and shouted at him, "Do you know how serious the consequences are if you fulfill your promise?"
