This game is awesome

Gu Qingshi held her forehead and said speechlessly: "Don't you like reading novels?"

"This is different!"

Li Xiaomeng shook her head repeatedly and corrected him: "Boss, you just want to make me work for free!"

Gu Qingshi: "......"

Can you speak! Can you speak!

"The workload for the Baldur's Gate side story is quite heavy. The new website I asked you to build is mainly to promote Baldur's Gate so that we can copy the story later."

Li Xiaomeng was puzzled and said, "We don't have any advantages. We don't have any authors or readers, so we can't compete with other websites."

Gu Qingshi thought about it and agreed. Fanxing didn't have the capital to compete with the big websites, so she said, "Then you can contact Maokanshu, Milestone Network, and Persimmon Novel, and organize a joint essay contest with them."

The three companies that Gu Qingshi mentioned are the three major online literature companies in this world. One focuses on traditional online literature, one focuses on the two-dimensional differentiated track, and the other one carries the banner of a free platform.

Milestone Network's readers prefer traditional themes. Although Western fantasy authors can also be popular, their stories are always heroic epics. This is of course good, but Baldur's Gate only needs side plots...

She couldn't possibly cram all the terrifying red dragons that destroyed the multiverse, the cyber white dragon that wrestled with the five-colored dragon queens, the heaven-defying creature that chopped down Mount Heaven from the Nine Layers of Hell, the supreme emperor who single-handedly revived Netheril... into Baldur's Gate, right?

Wow, for a mere Baldur's Gate to enjoy so many big guys taking turns to serve it, how can it be a small blessing!

As for Persimmon Novel, Gu Qingshi didn't think much about it.

As a free platform, Persimmon Novel relies on advertising to survive. If she wants to put an advertisement for writing competition on Persimmon Novel, it will cost a lot of money.

What Gu Qingshi values ​​most is "Mao Kan Shu", although most of the authors of "Mao Kan Shu" are two-winged apes, which is a bit inconsistent with the style of "Baldur's Gate".

But in contrast, Maokanshu, the younger brother among younger brothers, is the most cost-effective choice. In addition to the author's ability to handle relatively daily plots, they are also very cheap...

The full attendance fee for authors at Milestone Network is 2000 per month.

As for cats reading, emmm

That attendance fee is really like the beef in Lanzhou beef noodles.

After deciding on the cooperation partner, Gu Qingshi casually wrote down the conditions and precautions for the cooperation and threw them to Li Xiaomeng.

"Do this first."

The cooperation conditions offered by Gu Qingshi were very generous, and could be described as giving money to others.

Fanxing took the initiative to invest 2 periods of 1000 million yuan each to reach a cooperation with Maokanshu. Maokanshu needs to carry out a website essay solicitation activity, requiring that it must be DND or related themes, and the participating authors must authorize Fanxing to adapt the game. The funds provided by Fanxing will be used to provide more full attendance money, essay bonuses and welfare conditions for participating authors.

Gu Qingshi also wrote a rough range for the specific welfare conditions, attendance pay, bonuses, etc., and left it to Li Xiaomeng to estimate the details during the negotiation.

Li Xiaomeng took a look and stretched out his hand openly, "Transfer money!"

.......

Li Xiaomeng was very efficient and negotiated the contract in just a few days.

When the marketing department of Maokanshu received Li Xiaomeng’s email, it was like a heavy blow to them!

Although Maokanshu.com is one of the three major publishers, its market positioning in the past two years is very awkward - it started out by relying on fan fiction.

Two-dimensional online novels cannot be separated from fan fiction, but writing fan fiction faces a serious problem:

Infringement.

Especially in the past two years, as domestic Internet access restrictions have been relaxed and connected to the world's Internet, the issue of fan copyright for major fiction websites has become increasingly urgent.

If the copyright issue cannot be resolved, the online literature website will be like fish on the chopping board, and it all depends on the mood of the copyright owner.

Under such circumstances, Milestone Network took the initiative to cut off the entire two-dimensional section, Persimmon Novel removed nearly 30,000 contracted works from its library and ordered rectification. Only Maokanshu, which started out as a fan fiction, was in an embarrassing situation.

The decision-makers at Maokanshu had no determination to cut off the rotten flesh; and the two "original support plans" to increase new meat ended in failure due to mediocre feedback from the readership.

The cat reading the book had no choice but to cover his head and let it go. If the original owner really came looking for him, he would just pay money to keep the matter quiet.

However, even if the decision-makers of Maokanshu.com want to retain the glory of the two-dimensional online literature holy land, they can hardly stop the authors on the site from panicking.

Those who write fan fiction are afraid of being accosted so they take the opportunity to announce that they will stop writing. Those who write original works are worried that Maokanshu’s income will collapse without fan fiction so they choose to leave for other sites. This resulted in Maokanshu’s financial report for the past year not looking very good.

Now, Li Xiaomeng has sent an email about cooperation, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the marketing department of Mao Kanshu.

........

Qiantang City, Xihe Building, Infinite Fantasy Network Technology, Marketing Department.

In the office, the department director and his subordinate supervisors looked at each other in bewilderment.

The marketing director’s surname is Zeng, a middle-aged man who fits the public stereotype, with a big belly and a bald head.

The head of the marketing department next to him was a little younger, probably in his early thirties.

Director Zeng couldn't believe it. "Someone wants to discuss cooperation with us?"

"Yes, and it has a great background. The Western fantasy DND genre that suddenly became popular a few years ago is related to Fanxing's product IP."

Director Zeng was a little confused. “Do they want to sell IP licenses or do they want in-app advertising promotion?”

This was the only thing he could think of. Otherwise, why would a game company come to them to read a book?

The supervisor shook his head and raised his hand, "How about you take a look at the email they sent first?"

After reading the email, Director Zeng became even more confused.

Two rounds of solicitation, one with an investment of 9 million, and restrictions on subject matter...

How did the marketing department of Fanxing Studio come up with such a project that hurts itself but benefits others?

Actively invest 2 periods of 600 million yuan each. Maokanshu needs to launch a website solicitation for articles, which must be about DND or related topics, and the bulk of the money will be distributed to the authors.......

Authors get paid for writing books, readers get pleasure from reading new books, and Maokanshu gets more authors and readers. Perhaps these two rounds of writing competitions can also raise the popularity of Maokanshu's Western fantasy section to a higher level.

But what did Fanxing get? The rights to adapt the game?

Isn't this just Fanxing paying for the cat to read books to increase popularity?

Director Zeng couldn't understand the train of thought of the Fanxing Marketing Department.

That's right, after all, Gu Qingshi is the only one running Fanxing's marketing department...

"Contact Fanxing and ask them if they have any other requirements. We can also meet them."

Director Zeng couldn't bear to deceive a fool.

Li Xiaomeng received the reply and was delighted when she saw it.

She did not change the various benefits and bonuses for authors, but she changed the investment from 2000 million to 1200 million, saving 800 million directly. In this way, Maokanshu actually agreed to the contract requirements!

As expected, Li Xiaomeng directly replied to Maokanshu, "These are all our terms." So both parties signed the contract with a smile, muttering that the other party was a fool.

On April Fool's Day, April 4, the only three front-end programmers in the Maokanshu Technology Department worked overtime to repair the web and APP ends to ensure that the pages would not crash, and then put the "Fanxing DND Genre Essay Contest" on the splash screen ads and home page recommendations.

Chapter 213 [Widow Pei E and Secret Agreement Qin Tiantian]

April 4st, 1 am, Beihai Villa.

The noisy voices outside came through the open balcony and woke up Gu Qingshi who was lying on the sofa.

Yesterday, Gu Qingshi received the news that all arrangements for Li Xiaomeng's essay writing competition had been completed and there was still 8 million yuan of funds left. She happily stayed up half the night with Li Xiaomeng, and fell asleep on the sofa in the second half of the night.

As for Li Xiaomeng?

Then we have to mention a world famous painting:

Li Xiaomeng in the Tea Room

The girl had just woken up and was half conscious, she had no idea what was happening outside.

Gu Qingshi leaned on the balcony and looked carefully at the street, only to find that it was a large group of people from the municipal departments who had just got off the car and were talking and laughing.

The big leader in the middle of them was wearing an executive jacket and raised his hand to introduce the villa to the girl in sunglasses beside him.

Gu Qingshi rubbed her eyes.

Good man, isn't this Pei E?!

Miss Pei wore a black dress, looking solemn like a widow...

It's true, compared to the stupidity of the big goose at the village entrance before, Pei E now has a little bit of the temperament of a rich and noble person.

"Beihai Villa has a nice environment. We at Yun Palace plan to develop it into an Internet gaming industrial park. What do you think?"

The senior leader in a grey executive jacket replied with a smile, "The Internet industry is good, has high added value, and can also drive employment for our high-end labor force."

The two of them were talking and laughing.

Pei E looked up and met Gu Qingshi's gaze.

Pei E: “…”

Gu Qingshi: “….”

The two looked at each other for a while, and Pei E shook her hand, "Teacher!"

Seeing this, the big leader was slightly surprised.

Today is a rest day, and it is early, so the leader specially chose this time to discuss the development of Beihai Villa with Miss Yungong.

But he didn't expect that there was someone else in the villa.

The big boss asked in confusion, "Mr. Gu?"

Gu Qingshi touched her frizzy hair and felt that she shouldn't have come to the balcony for no good reason...

It had been a long time since I last saw Pei E, and it would be rude to turn her away. Gu Qingshi went downstairs to open the door for them.

A crowd of municipal leaders surrounded Pei E and led her into Villa No. 404.

Fortunately, the boss was reasonable and only brought two or three people into the studio.

"teacher!"

Pei E said hello and came over to hit the person with the ball.

Gu Qingshi was half a head shorter than Pei E, and she almost couldn't breathe when Pei E hugged her.
