Come to modern times to be a boss

Chapter 181 The Shock of Free Mode 4
"It's mainly because you scared them this time."

"Film and television production and distribution have always been the private land of the Bai family and the Wang family. They must be afraid that our two families will suddenly come out."

"If we were mediocre, they wouldn't be making so much fanfare."

"But the popularity of "Guardian" made them feel that their status is being challenged, and they will definitely come down to snipe in person!!"

Yang Mengdi made a rough analysis and explained the reasons one by one.

Zhu Quan didn't answer the call immediately, he didn't know what he was looking at while holding the phone.

After a while, he let out a sigh of relief and said unhurriedly, "I just checked, and their previous project has basically been completed."

The project that Zhu Quan mentioned is a movie in which Yang Likun participated, and the subject matter of his novel is very similar.

"Let's see how they fare."

"If their box office is so hot, then we can only see what they do; if they accidentally drop a dud, we can slowly figure it out."

Zhu Quan's meaning is very simple, they are big crocodiles after all, if they really fight bayonet, then they have to give up two steps, otherwise it will not be good for themselves; if their films are not good, it will definitely hurt them Morale takes a certain hit.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is Zhu Quan's forte.

"Your words coincide with our Wu Dong's thinking, and he thinks so too!"

Yang Mengdi has a higher and higher opinion of Zhu Quan. Many of his ideas have overlapped with her idol Wu Yingtian many times.

Is this a coincidence?It can only show that these two men are people with unique thinking and charm.

"Since Wu Dong also thinks so, let's wait."

Yang Mengdi nodded, as a tacit consent, "By the way, there is another thing. After one year, your respective equity will be lifted. If you have the intention to transfer equity, you can give priority to us. The price must be fair."

Zhu Quan had no such plan at all, so he turned his attention to Li Wenbin and the others.

Li Wenbin and Li Wenbin rejected Yang Mengdi's proposal without any hesitation, "Mr. Yang, will you sell a laying hen?"

"That's what I said, just to say hello in advance, don't think otherwise!"

Yang Mengdi let out a haha, and got this matter out of the way.

Of course, she didn't really want the equity, but just made a side note and told them how valuable Qiwen's equity was.

Let them not sell the original shares easily, otherwise Penguin's layout will be very passive.

She had already received news that someone held a lot of tradable shares in the secondary market, which directly threatened Penguin's controlling stake, so she took advantage of this to beat her up.

It can be regarded as creating a little trouble for unforeseen hidden dangers in the future.

. . .

The development of things is always unexpected. Just when Zhu Quan and the others thought that Du Yishan would not make any big moves and were ready to wait and see what happened, Feilu and Qimao jointly released a big news.

All novels of Feilu and Qimao are free! !
And improve the author's full attendance treatment and contract treatment, the latter is not capped!
On the day the news was released, Qiwen's stock price plummeted 10 points, almost falling below Zhu Quan's warning line again.

Fortunately, there were more than 4 million movie dividends, and Zhu Quan immediately paid part of the deposit, so he was not forced to close his position.

And the shares held by the Xu family are already enough, so they are not continuing to plan to protect the market, but other funds are attracting money.

If nothing else happened, it should be Yang Mengdi who made the move, and she wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to raise money.

As for whether she will lose money, that is not something she considers. Anyway, the advice given by the headquarters is to eat as much as you can, as long as the price does not exceed 100, you can eat unlimited tradable shares.

Zhu Quan also didn't understand Feilu's operation.

After finally cultivating the paying habits of readers, why did these people suddenly turn over the table?
He also had to rush to Shanghai to discuss the next countermeasures with Li Wenbin and the others.

The first meeting room of Qiwen Headquarters.

"Old Peng, tell everyone about Feilu and the others being free."

Li Wenbin has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he hasn't rested for several days.

"Feilu and the others are free, that is, they are completely free. You don't need to spend money to read all the novels."

"But readers need to click on the advertisements. This is also the usual practice of Toutiao. They use free as a gimmick to make up for the loss of payment from the advertising fee."

"The move of free is tantamount to directly hitting our fate. When readers hear about free, the first reaction is that it doesn't cost money. Even if they watch the advertisement for a while, they should be able to accept it."

"Although some loyal players will not be lost, the data in the past few days has been fed back, and our daily activity has dropped by 10%."

"If we don't make targeted changes, this number may still climb."

Peng Nan talked about the general situation, and then said nothing.

As Qiwen's second shareholder, Zhu Quan, who is a great writer himself, basically agrees with what Peng Nan said just now.

He can also see obvious data changes from the background, even though most of his readers are veterans, they still can't resist the temptation of free.

"Ahem, let me say a few words. I think about it from the author's point of view. Readers, you will add it later."

Zhu Quan thought for a while, and then planned to express his thoughts.

"The author's income comes from two parts, subscription and reward, let's not talk about copyright, after all, most people can't reach this level."

"If it's free, don't mention the reward here, there will still be, so let's talk about the advertisement alone."

"Not every novel is suitable for advertising, right? And it is necessary to match different readers to these advertisements. The difficulty and benefits of this, I don't need to say that everyone knows that the effect should not be very good."

"In other words, there is definitely no previous subscription model, which brings more income to authors."

"So from the author's point of view, they don't want it to be free, and data such as clicks on advertisements can't be as transparent as subscriptions, so the author should resist."

"If the author resists, then what is written must be unqualified, and the reader experience that is also bound to the author will be much worse."

"The result is that the free model offends readers and authors alike, and readers themselves are disgusted by the ads."

"I personally think that their pure free is just drinking poison to quench thirst, a gimmick, and it still falls short in the end."

After speaking, Zhu Quan stopped talking and waited for others to speak.

Then one after another, some people also expressed their opinions, which involved many aspects, from readers' feedback to market data feedback and so on.

Some people even suggested copying Feilu's model directly, and fighting with them all for free to see who can survive the other.

Zhu Quan, who understood this sentence, couldn't help but take a serious look at that person.

It's not that he wants to reuse him, but he intends to fire him.

Does that mean what I just said was in vain?When I am the wind in my ears?

After discussing for more than an hour, there was no good solution.

The big reason for this is that the Qiwen team comes from a content background. Compared with Toutiao and their marketing background, tricks and the like must be at a disadvantage.

During the lunch break, Zhu Quan and the three of them got together again.

This matter is a big deal, if it is not handled well, it may really push Qi Wen into the river.
