Li Fan and the other two went to the president's office. After greeting each other, they set up the leisure dragon gate formation for a while, and then talked about the main business.

Liang Yuan said: "Boss, you want to launch a new website. What is the main purpose of this website?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Specially used for serialized novels."

Liang Yuan and Gu Wei looked at each other and thought to himself, "It turns out to be so."

Afterwards, Liang Yuan said: "Does the boss's next new type of work be serialized on the Internet? But didn't the boss always serialized it on Weibo before? Why did he launch a website to serialize it this time?"

Li Fan said: "I used to serialize on Weibo, but it was just my attempt. I wanted to try the possibility of serializing novels on the Internet and the acceptance of book fans. Now the attempt has already come true. Book fans are very willing to accept them and feel the benefits of reading novels on the Internet. So, it is time to implement the next plan. After all, using Weibo as a serial carrier is not a long-term solution."

"Implement the next plan?" Liang Yuan and Gu Wei all thought.

Gu Wei said: "The next plan mentioned by the boss is to launch a website specifically for serializing novels, and then serialize the boss's works on this website?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

Liang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Boss, there is no problem with launching a website to serialize novels. But will this be a waste of resources? Moreover, launching a website to serialize novels does not seem to make any sense."

Li Fan smiled slightly and said Liang Yuanhui was not surprised. In fact, anyone who heard that he wanted to launch a website to serialize novels would think so.

If he only serializes his own novels, it may be a waste of resources, but the purpose of Li Fan's website launch is not just to serialize his own works.

He said: "President, editor-in-chief, the reason why I want to launch such a website is not just to serialize my personal works, but to provide such a platform. In the future, other authors will serialize their own works on our platform."

"So that's it." Liang Yuan and Gu Wei were both active-minded people. After Li Fan said this, they understood.

But, they still have many things they don’t understand.

Liang Yuan also said: "Boss, as a platform, this idea is excellent. It is just that the authors serialize novels on the Internet, and the authors do not receive any royalties. If there is no royalties, will there really be an author who chooses to serialize novels on our platform? After all, most authors only earn money from their creation works."

Li Fan smiled and said, "I used to serialize novels on Weibo, and they were indeed free, but this does not mean that serialized novels on the Internet are free. After our website is officially launched, the novels serialized on it will be charged. If book fans want to read, they need to pay to read them. Of course, each novel will have a certain number of words in front of it for book fans to read for free, and they will only need to pay to read after a certain number of words.

Book fans can choose whether to continue to pay for reading based on the free words in the previous period. The fees paid by book fans to read books will be classified according to certain ratios and are divided by our website and the author. In this way, not only will the website have income, but the authors will also have income for royalties. Of course, this does not mean that as long as the works are serialized on our website, there will be income for royalties. It also depends on the quality of the works. If the quality of the works is not good and no book fans are willing to pay for reading, the author will naturally have no income for royalties."

"Do book fans need to pay to read?" The amount of information about Li Fan's words was a bit large, and Liang Yuan and Gu Wei needed to digest them well.

Li Fan did not disturb the two, but asked them to think slowly.

After a while, Liang Yuan said: "Readers should pay for reading, just like now readers need to pay for newspapers and magazines that publish serial novels. The key question is how much does readers need to pay for reading when reading books? If there are too many, readers will definitely not be willing to pay for reading. If there are too fewer, the benefits of the website and the author cannot be guaranteed."

Li Fan glanced at Liang Yuan with approval. This was indeed the key to the problem and said, "The president is right. This is indeed the key to the problem. For us, this is very important. It's just that we don't need to discuss this issue now, we can stay for discussion in the future."

Liang Yuan nodded. It was indeed a little earlier to discuss this issue. After thinking about it, he said, "Boss, how many authors do you think will be serialized on our platform?"

Li Fan said: "There may not be many in the early stage, but with the continuous development of the website, the number of authors will definitely not be small, hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions are all possible."

Li Fan’s words are not an exaggeration. The number of people in this world is far more than in previous lives. With the emergence of the prosperous era of online literature, the number of online novel authors will naturally be more than in previous lives.

Of course, although there are many online authors, only a few authors who can make money. For most online authors, their efforts are not rewarded.

This is something that is helpless.

"Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Tens of millions? So many?" Liang Yuan and Gu Wei were shocked. Are there really so many authors who serialize their works on their platform?

To be honest, they didn't believe it, but Li Fan said this, and they had to believe it.

They knew that Li Fan's insight and vision were far from comparable to them. Since Li Fan said that, the fact must be like this.

After sighing for a few words, Gu Wei said, "By the way, boss, what is the name of our website platform?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Qidian Chinese Network."

"Qi Dian?" Liang Yuan and Gu Wei nodded. They serialized novels in the Internet Mountain. Now it is really just Qi Dian, and this name is indeed the most suitable one.

Afterwards, Liang Yuan and Gu Wei asked some questions, and Li Fan answered them all one by one.

Finally, several people left the president's office, and had several professional website writers in the former network management department and magazine. They all had strong technical skills. Li Fan did not need to find someone to create a website outside.

When they arrived at the network management department, Gu Wei explained the situation to several website writers. After learning that they wanted to write a website for their boss, they all seemed very excited and excited, and very nervous.

If the website written does not meet the boss's requirements, how can they still have the courage to stay in the magazine?

Li Fan smiled, letting the few people not be nervous, and then explained to the few people how to design the website, what functions are needed, etc.

The few people listened with all their attention, not daring to be distracted at all.
