Soon, Bai Qing met Liu Bei, the head of Qing Culture, in his office.

"Tell me something about my mother!"

As soon as Bai Jia heard the news, Bai Qing was intrigued, but Bai Jia only knew about the basics, so Bai Qing simply called Liu Bei from Qing Culture to his office with just one call.

I haven't seen Bai Qing for a long time. Suddenly, Bai Qing called me like that. Liu Bei was still a little nervous, afraid that he hadn't done anything well. It was not until he heard Bai Qing's words that he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was the matter with Dianniang, as long as it wasn't your own mistake.

Thinking of this, he briefly sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then said to Bai Qing: "After we had finished our cooperation with Dianniang, we have always kept in touch with Dianniang, and we have been observing Dianniang. When we were working with us, because of the essay contest, Dianniang was very popular in the online literature circle and gained popularity. It not only attracted many online writers, but also many users. However, after the cooperation with us was over, there was no new activities, and there was no attraction. As a result, Dianniang's development speed suddenly decreased during this period."

Bai Qing blinked her eyes and did not interrupt, but quietly waited for Liu Bei's next words.

"Precisely because of the poor development, Dianniang has been actively looking for ways to develop, and then I heard that they are preparing to develop a paid reading mechanism!" Liu Bei said to Bai Qing.

“Paid reading?”

Bai Qing didn't speak, but Bai Jia, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak in confusion.

"That's right, it's a way to charge chapters to charge fees and then pay authors for manuscript fees." Liu Bei nodded, "Before, for a long time, the domestic online literature market had been free reading. The author also created with his passion and love for literature. After the work became popular, he gained economic benefits through publication. However, such authors are only a few, and most authors basically have no returns. This has led to the enthusiasm being easily gone, and the level of the works created is also of varying quality. In order to protect the author's income and promote their creative enthusiasm and enthusiasm, Dianniang planned to launch this paid reading model to support the authors."

"However, now, even the minimum genuine reading in China cannot be done. Various pirated books are constantly banned. In fact, physical books are still like this. If you want to charge online articles, will readers buy it?" Bai Jia obviously expressed his disapproval of this model.

Liu Bei also nodded: "That's right, that's it. Everyone is reading novels online and enjoying it. Moreover, the income level of our domestic people is not very high at present, so most people are not optimistic about whether this model can be accepted. This is also the viewpoint of many other literary websites. At the beginning, it is necessary to stimulate the authors, and they have to pay a portion of their money and benefits. However, on Dianniang's side, daily operations alone are already a huge expense. It is even more difficult to pay the manuscript fee to the authors. So this is why Dianniang's managers want to find investment because they have no money."

"Then we can't invest in it. Small websites like this may go bankrupt at any time. Wouldn't the money we invest in be wasted?" Bai Jia said on the side.

That's right, Dian Niang, who was already famous in later generations, can only be regarded as a "small website" in Bai Jia's mouth.

Liu Bei didn't say anything again this time, but just raised his head to look at Bai Qing.

Bai Qing lowered her head and pondered.

As a rebirth, he knew very well that this paid reading model has been proven to be correct by time, but in this era, no one would believe that Dianniang would succeed.

Most people think the same as Bai Jia, because nowadays, Chinese people are basically not rich. Although they already have a little money, they are not as luxurious as they can squander the money online.

If something like a novel has physical books, it can be seen and touched, and people are more willing to pay for it.

Like online novels, there is nothing left after reading them. They are just texts that exist on the computer, and they can copy and paste them with just a hand. Who would be willing to spend money?

Not just novels, but music is not the same.

However, Dianniang's pioneering paid reading guarantees the interests of the authors, allowing them to have the enthusiasm to create better works, constructing a virtuous cycle, and becoming a catalyst for the rapid progress of online literature.

Perhaps the process is difficult and tortuous, but the future is bright.

So Bai Qing pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Bei and ordered: "Touch them and express our investment opportunities, and then talk to them, and try to get the controlling rights in your hands."

In the history of his previous life, it was precisely because of Dasheng's acquisition that brought strong help and capital to Dianniang, making him soar like a big roc, opening up an era that dominated the domestic online literature field.

In this life, Dasheng is not as big as Bai Qing's previous life, and Bai Qing will not give them any chance to interfere.

The wisest choice is to take advantage of the fact that Dianniang is still a piece of undiscovered jade and seize the time to control it in her hands.

Hearing Bai Qing's words, Liu Bei nodded. As an executor, he certainly would not refuse the boss's instructions. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with him.

However, Bai Jia couldn't help frowning after hearing Bai Qing's words and said to Bai Qing: "Mr. Bai, do you think you should consider it again? I am not optimistic about this operating model. It's my opinion just now. If this model cannot be accepted by the market, our investment may be wasted. Although our company's funds are very abundant now, we should avoid some bad investments!"

Because it was in the company and in front of Liu Bei, Bai Jia naturally took the position of Bai Qing.

"Mr. Bai, I understand what you mean and your worries, but you have ignored one thing, that is, the era of online payment and consumption has arrived!"

Bai Qing looked at Bai Jia with a serious look on her face...
