Back then, when Lu Xun wrote vernacular novels, didn't he also suffer a lot of controversy? Later, didn't he prove that he had created a new model?
Now, who could be sure that vernacular novels would not become a trend in the future?
President Li looked at Fang Tian and smiled. "Although I don't agree, I admire your style."
"That's enough. Thank you, President." Fang Tian smiled.
Seeing the President admire him so much, Wen Zhiyuan was unhappy. He said, "According to his philosophy, his novel website will go bankrupt sooner or later."
"It won't." Fang Tian said confidently, "The future will be a prosperous era for online novels. Golden Jade Novel Website will only get bigger and bigger. To put it bluntly, it will definitely lead a better life than physical book publishers!"
When he said that, all the physical book publishers in the meeting room laughed. Just your novel website, those basic novels on your website, and those lousy books on your website, can become bigger and stronger and surpass physical book publishers? What a joke. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
The short and thin man stood up again. He was the boss of the publishing company, surnamed Wu.
Boss Wu pushed his glasses and looked at Fang Tian. "I'm the boss of Everyday Publishing Company. Do you know my publishing company's annual revenue? If I say it, you'll be scared to death. 80 million! What about your website? How much revenue do you have now? "
Fang Tian laughed. "80 million? That's really scary. That's so little. "
Everyone almost fainted. 80 million was considered little. Aren't you too arrogant?
Fang Tian said seriously, "I'm sure that Golden Jade Novel Website, in one year, only one year, the revenue will exceed 100 million! In five years, the revenue will exceed 100 million! "
Everyone was in an uproar. An unremarkable, non-mainstream online novel website could have such a huge earning power? Wasn't this too ridiculous?
"Pfft, you're bragging," Wen Zhiyuan said disdainfully.
Fang Tian cleared his throat and said that his saliva was dry. Seeing this, Lin Keqing immediately passed him a bottle of mineral water.
Fang Tian quickly drank it and said, "I know you don't believe me. But let me tell you, the great era of online novels is coming. "
"Why?" Boss Wu's face was full of disbelief.
"It's simple."
Fang Tian said, "In the future, there will be fewer and fewer readers reading physical books. On the contrary, there will be more and more people reading e-books. In other words, physical book publishing will decline. "
"Nonsense." Boss Wu was furious. He jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Now that his interests were touched, his nerves became sensitive.
He said angrily, "That's impossible. It's better to read a hardcopy book. What's so good about an e-book? Nonsense."
Fang Tian actually knew this Everyday Publishing House. The last time Shi Jun went to their publishing house to publish a novel, he was rejected by them.
Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of the boss of Everyday Publishing.
Fang Tian said bluntly, "The decline of physical books is inevitable. In the future, people would hold a mobile phone in their hands to read. Holding a mobile phone was equivalent to holding millions of novels! He could watch whatever he wanted. You can also participate in activities with other authors, such as giving tips, voting, and so on. These experiences are incomparable to physical books. "
Boss Wu curled his lips and said, "Nonsense!
Who knows what will happen in the future? It's all your imagination. Are mobile phones that powerful? If there really is such a powerful mobile phone, show it to me. Show it to me. I'll buy it for a million. "
Fang Tian thought to himself, Should I make a smart phone earlier? It's so easy to make money! "
Fang Tian laughed and said, "It's not a fantasy. That day will come soon. With the advent of the Internet, not only publishers, but many bookstores will close down. "
He really didn't know where his confidence came from. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll take it that what you said is true." Boss Wu said, "What about the profit model? To put it bluntly, how do you make money? I've seen it on your website. The novels on your website are all free. You haven't made a single cent until now. How can you say that your revenue will exceed one billion? "
"Boss Wu, don't talk nonsense with him." Wen Zhiyuan laughed and said, "What online literature will prosper? It's all nonsense."
Fang Tian found it strange. He looked at Wen Zhiyuan and said, "Aren't you running a novel website? Since you don't agree with the development of online literature, why did you start a novel website? "
Wen Zhiyuan drank a mouthful of mineral water and said, "I believe that online literature will develop, but it's not as exaggerated as you said. The foundation of online literature is still physical books. It's impossible to surpass it. Without the support of physical books, making money is just a dream.
"My Fantasy Realm novel's profit model is to publish physical books. The high-quality novels published on our website will be printed into physical books and sold. "
He felt that his Fantasy Realm novel was very similar to the Illusory Sword League. They didn't understand the value of online literature and didn't establish a mature business model. They used physical books as the main way to make money. It wasn't surprising that the Illusory Sword League lost to Qidian.
Of course, after being reborn in this era, it might be because of the butterfly effect. Without the Illusory Sword League, there was no Qidian. Today, there were only two major novel websites. One was the Fantasy Realm led by Wen Zhiyuan, and the other was the newly established Golden Jade Novel Website.
It could be said that whoever won would be the king of the online literature empire in the future!
Fang Tian said slowly, "Golden Jade Novel Website has just been launched. The business model is still in the process of being established. But what's certain is that the foundation of online novels is not physical books. In other words, without physical books, online novels will still prosper and develop. "
Fang Tian rapped his knuckles on the table and said, "For example, the value of IP. A best-selling novel accumulates tens of millions of fans on the Internet. With such a huge reputation, what can it do? Film movies, games, animations, etc. The entire industry chain is very long. This is the most profitable part. "
Boss Wu immediately laughed. "Haha. How ridiculous. How can those little novels on your website have such great value? "
"Everyone, don't listen to his bragging. It's impossible."
"Yeah, if online novels really have such great value, I'll chop my head off and let you sit on it."
"Everyone, don't believe him. He's just an arrogant kid."
The publishers and the people from the Authors' Association present discussed, but most of them were mocking him.
Lin Keqing just sat quietly at the side and didn't say anything. This result was already expected. It wasn't easy for the regiment commander to fight alone.
Without paying attention to their discussion, Fang Tian looked at the authors who were writing books and said, "Dear authors, I wonder how is the environment for you to write physical books? But I want to tell you that online literature is a very wide market. I dare say that in the future, the income of the authors writing on our platform will not be worse than the authors of physical books. In fact, it might even be more profitable than the authors of physical books. "
