My son is a reincarnated soul; I overheard his inner thoughts and became the richest man.
Chapter 103: Gods Online Launches, Earthquake in the Online Novel World
As evening fell, Chen Feng opened his front door to find the news broadcast playing on the television in the living room.
Chu Yuan and Chen Xiaotian were sitting on the sofa, each holding half a watermelon and eating it with a spoon.
"Is Yuanyuan here?"
Chen Feng changed into slippers and greeted everyone with a smile.
Chu Yuan quickly put down the watermelon in her hand, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Cousin is back. I just got here too. I happened to run into Xiao Tian after school, so we came in together."
"Um."
Chen Feng unbuttoned his shirt collar, sat down on the single sofa, and said, "You said on the phone you had something important to discuss with me? Go ahead, what's wrong?"
Chu Yuan glanced at Chen Xiaotian beside him subconsciously, and seeing his nephew blink, he mustered up the courage to speak.
"Cousin, it's like this. A while ago, I started a small company called Gods Entertainment with some friends."
"We've acquired the copyrights to several new songs, and we've also recorded demos. I recently heard that China Mobile and China Unicom are both promoting ringback tone services, and your Fengtian Technology is the largest content provider."
"So... I was wondering if it was possible to pull some strings and register these songs under Fengtian Technology's name to get them into the ringback tone libraries of China Mobile and China Unicom?"
"After all, we are a small company with little influence, and we are not qualified to join a telecom operator. We can only ask you for help, cousin."
Chen Feng glanced at his cousin with some surprise.
This girl usually seems well-behaved, but I never expected her to have such a restless spirit; she actually started a company without making a sound.
However, this was indeed a simple matter for Chen Feng.
"I thought it was something serious."
Chen Feng waved his hand readily, "Okay, I'll go to the company tomorrow and talk to Lin Wan. I'll have her give you the contact information for the person in charge, and you can just use the internal channel."
"Yay! Thank you, cousin!"
Chu Yuan smiled sweetly, finally feeling relieved.
She glanced at Chen Xiaotian again, her eyes clearly saying "It's all settled."
Chen Xiaotian continued calmly scooping out the watermelon, his face expressionless, but inside he was overjoyed.
[It's a sure thing! These are the original hit songs that would later become ubiquitous.]
"Mice Love Rice" and "Two Butterflies" were practically nuclear weapons in 2003. Once they were released as ringtones, monthly downloads reaching millions were a piece of cake.
Even if my dad's company takes a cut of the distribution fee, the remaining 60-70% profit is still terrifying. These days, ringback tones are incredibly profitable; two yuan a ring, the operator takes a small share, and the rest is all mine.
With this steady stream of cash flow, there's more than enough to keep the money-burning "Zhongshen Chinese Website" afloat.
[Currently, online literature websites are all operating at a loss to gain popularity; they simply can't survive without a strong financial injection. Once my 'Zhongshen Chinese Website' outlasts the competition, it will dominate half of the online literature world.]
Hearing his son's heartfelt words, Chen Feng understood.
It turned out to be the case.
Is the real boss behind "Zhongshen Entertainment" his own son? And he even created something called "Zhongshen Chinese Website"?
A smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips.
Indeed, like father, like son.
The idea of a father and son dominating the physical world and technology, and the other ruling the entertainment and internet sectors, is quite exciting.
Just as Chen Feng was distracted, Chu Yuan seized the opportunity to make a second request.
"Oh, right, cousin, there's something else."
"We can license these songs to Fengtian Technology's iMusic platform for free. Could you please help us by giving them a featured spot on the platform for a little promotion?"
This was something Chen Xiaotian had planned long ago.
Although these hit songs are inherently popular, in this era where even the best music needs marketing, having iMusic, the world's largest digital music platform, as a promoter can definitely shorten the time it takes for them to become popular by several times.
If a song becomes popular, the number of ringtone downloads will increase, and only then will our wallets bulge.
"no problem."
Chen Feng agreed even more readily, "It's our own resources, so why not use them? I'll have someone arrange the best recommendation slots for us tomorrow."
Since they know it's their son's business, they should naturally do everything they can to support it.
"That's great! You're so kind, cousin!"
Chu Yuan was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
"We're family, no need for formalities." Chen Feng smiled and stood up. "Alright, now that we've finished talking, let's eat. I'll cook tonight, and Jiang Ming will take you back to school afterward."
......
After dinner, we chatted for a while, and it was almost nine o'clock.
Chen Feng arranged for driver Jiang Ming to drive the Audi A6 smoothly and steadily back to Jiaotong University.
After seeing his cousin off, Chen Feng turned and went into his study, where he turned on his computer.
He typed "Zhongshen Chinese Website" into the Baidu search box and pressed enter.
The webpage redirected for a while, then displayed "No related page found".
"Looks like it's not online yet."
Chen Feng muttered to himself, "But since Xiao Tian is so keen on it, it'll probably be soon. Once it's online, I'll have to see what tricks this kid can pull."
In fact, the computer science whizzes that Chen Xiaotian asked Su Jin to find were indeed still coding day and night.
The website architecture is mostly complete, and we are currently conducting final debugging and stress testing.
at the same time.
Chu Yuan and Su Jin also rented a bright office building near the school and are actively recruiting editors and operations staff.
Everything is progressing smoothly.
......
A week later, the weekend was sunny and bright.
Chen Xiaotian, carrying his schoolbag, strolled into "Zhongshen Network Technology" located near the university campus.
In the office area, the newly recruited team is busy at work.
In addition to the part-time tech experts that Su Jin found, five new full-time literary editors were also hired, who were reviewing manuscripts in front of heavy CRT monitors.
Su Jin, as the editor-in-chief, was discussing matters with Chu Yuan, who was in charge of operations, in the office.
When the employees outside saw a little boy carrying a backpack and even wearing school uniform pants swaggering in, they all cast surprised glances at him.
"Hey kid, who are you looking for?"
A female editor who had recently graduated stood up, smiled, and stopped him, saying, "This is the company; you can't just wander around like that."
Being mistaken for a primary school student who had wandered in by mistake, Chen Xiaotian touched his nose helplessly.
Who told me my body is only twelve years old? I can't even muster the aura of a boss.
"Hello, sister. I'm looking for your General Manager Chu and Editor-in-Chief Su," Chen Xiaotian replied politely.
"Looking for President Chu?"
The female editor paused for a moment, looked him up and down, and guessed, "You're President Chu's younger brother, right? You look quite alike."
Just then, Chu Yuan heard the noise and pushed open the door to come out.
Seeing Chen Xiaotian being stopped at the door, she suppressed a smile and waved, "Xiaotian, come in."
"Okay."
Chen Xiaotian winked at the female editor and jogged into the general manager's office.
The female editor behind him muttered softly, "They really are relatives. It seems to be the young master of President Chu's family."
Inside the office.
"Xiao Tian, let's check the results."
Su Jin pointed to the computer screen, "The website architecture has been fully built. The technical team has conducted three rounds of stress tests, and there are no bugs. It can be launched at any time."
"However... there is now a fatal problem."
Chu Yuan picked up the conversation, looking somewhat worried, "Our library is cleaner than a face. Apart from a few public domain books, there's not a single thing in it. Readers can't just click in and see blank pages, can they?"
"What's so difficult about that?"
Chen Xiaotian pulled up a chair and sat down. "What is the core of the internet spirit? It's sharing (reposting)."
"The online literature industry is still in its early stages. Most novels are circulating widely on various forums and BBS, and there is no concept of exclusive copyrights. Let's have our editors crawl the web and bring over those popular novels to enrich our library."
"Of course, this is just a temporary measure."
"To establish a strong presence, I will sign the electronic copyright agreements for my physical books, such as 'That Kid Is So Handsome' and 'Temptation of Wolves,' to the website."
"In addition, I haven't been idle these past few days either. I started a new book and have tens of thousands of words saved up. Once the website goes live, I will be the first contracted author of Zhongshen Chinese Network."
Chen Xiaotian paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"As for how to attract top experts from other websites..."
"Go to Dragon's Sky Forum and Xilu BBS to post a call for volunteers! Publicize our VIP paid membership system and full attendance bonus system, highlight them in red and bold, and pin them to the top!"
"Tell those authors who are still writing out of passion: Come to Zhongshen Chinese Website, you can earn money by writing, and full attendance bonuses can support your family!"
"I refuse to believe that if real money is thrown at the door, no one will be tempted."
Upon hearing this bandit-like operational strategy, Chu Yuan and Su Jin exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
This kid's methods are both wild and accurate.
"Okay, we'll do it your way." Chu Yuan nodded and noted it down. "I'll arrange the web crawler on the technical side right away."
"When will it be released?" Su Jin asked.
"There's no time like the present, let's do it tomorrow night at eight!" Chen Xiaotian made the decision.
After finishing their business, Chu Yuan reported another piece of good news.
"By the way, Xiaotian, regarding the ringback tone issue, my cousin was very agreeable. Fengtian Technology only takes a 15% channel fee, and the remaining 70% goes to us."
"Furthermore, Director Lin Wan said that those songs have already been given the best recommendation slots on the iMusic platform. The data is moving very fast, and the comment section has exploded."
Chen Xiaotian nodded in satisfaction.
Dad really nailed it; that assist was absolutely perfect.
......
The next day, at 8 PM.
The Chinese website for all gods officially launched amidst great anticipation.
At the same time, Dragon's Sky Forum, the most active gathering place in the online literature circle, was detonated by a bombshell.
In a secret QQ group, beeping sounds came one after another.
At that time, the QQ interface was still very old-fashioned, with the classic penguin avatar jumping in the lower right corner.
[Sturgeon Castle]: @OldBlood, I heard the newly launched Gods Chinese website is trying to recruit you? Is it true?
In front of the computer screen, Xuehong, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, was typing away on the keyboard.
[Old Blood]: Yes, it's signed. The contract has already been sent out.
[Sturgeon Castle]: I also saw that guy, he's talking about some kind of VIP paid membership with a perfect attendance bonus. Is it reliable? Is it a scam website?
[Old Blood]: Probably not. They've shown great sincerity, offering a buyout price of 30 yuan per thousand words. They also promised that the price could increase at any time if the book becomes popular.
[Old Blood]: The most important thing is the perfect attendance bonus.
【Sturgeon Burger】: Perfect attendance? What's that?
【Old Blood】: It means that as long as you update every day without fail, the website will give you extra money.
[Old Blood]: They've divided it into three tiers. The lowest tier is 2,000 words per day, earning 300 yuan per month. The middle tier is 6,000 words per day, earning 600 yuan. The highest tier is 10,000 words per day, with a 1000 yuan attendance bonus!
Upon seeing this line, Sturgeon Burger nearly dropped his cigarette.
In 2003, when the average wage was only a few hundred yuan, the perfect attendance bonus alone could amount to a thousand yuan.
[Sturgeon Castle]: Holy crap! 1,000 for 10,000 daily updates? Does the website owner have a gold mine?
[Old Blood]: Hehe, you know my typing speed. Writing 10,000 words a day is a piece of cake for me. I did the math, and with the 30 yuan buyout fee per thousand words, if I write 300,000 words a month, my income can easily exceed 10,000 yuan!
[Sturgeon Burger]: ...
[Sturgeon Burger]: Earning 10,000 a month?! Wow, you're going to get rich! I want to join too, are you hiring?
Even through the screen, you could feel the envious and jealous expression on Sturgeon Burger's face.
Earning over 10,000 yuan a month is definitely a high-income earner in this day and age.
And now, you can do it all just by sitting at home and typing on a keyboard?
This "money offensive" by ZHONGSENZHENGZUAN.COM is like a catfish, completely stirring up the originally calm and even somewhat stagnant world of online literature.
Countless authors who are still creating content out of passion have turned their attention to this newly emerging platform.
