Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

February 8th, Wednesday.

Min Jingchao, Ye Zhizhou, and the FV club and their group set off for the Magic City Airport and flew directly to Los Angeles again to make up their vacation.

Before leaving, everyone took the time to deal with all of their work.

In particular, Min Jingchao, according to Mr. Pei’s request yesterday, took the time to let his designers change the hero role of "Mission and Choice" and GOG from Qin Yi to "Skylark", from a specific role to one. A symbolic, broader role.

Ye Zhizhou, on the other side of Wangyang Games, cooperated with Wang Xiaobin to roughly produce a version of the game design plan for smart fitness clothes racks.

As the coach of the DGE club, Zhou Pengyuan also arranged training tasks for a new group of DGE players before leaving. The daily training games and high-end RANK must continue. When he comes back from Los Angeles, he must check. The unfinished players are To be practiced.

The others also handed over their work to other colleagues to ensure that they can completely put down their work and take a vacation after returning to Los Angeles.

Of course, the FV club members have no work to hand over, and they are still immersed in the joy of winning.

The popularity of the FV club and the players has skyrocketed. As the owner of the club, Wu Yue has recently become a little annoyed by various live broadcast contracts and commercial endorsements. He just took this opportunity to go to Los Angeles for a few more days to change his mood.

The group happily left Jingzhou and went to the magic city.

Among them, the only person who is incompatible with everyone is Bao Xu.

He had just consumed the five-day tour of the annual meeting award, and within a few hours of returning to Jingzhou, he had to pack his bags and set off again.

On the high-speed rail heading to the magic city, everyone else discussed the trip to the United States with vigor, but Bao Xu sat slumped in his seat, looking at the picture of fast backing outside the high-speed rail window, with a dull expression.

...

At the same time, Cui Geng got out of the high-speed rail station in Jingzhou, took a taxi, and headed to the location of the Chinese network study class at the end.

Looking at the familiar city scenery outside the window, Cui Geng sighed quietly, feeling an inexplicable melancholy.

"My life, how can I be full of energy?"

Cui Geng asked this question that hit the soul directly.

At this time, he actually has three identities: the second generation of Zai, the top author of the end Chinese website, and a special observer of the Tenda Group.

And these three identities have a common feature, that is, they severely weaken his motivation to struggle, and the combination of the three makes him always maintain a state of "intermittent smugness, continuous mixed eating and death".

After finally getting up and wanting to work seriously, but within two days, there will be no fighting spirit.

Cui Geng has always been in a state of running back and forth between his hometown and Jingzhou.

It's not that he likes to live the life of a business person. The main reason is that he feels that after staying in the same environment for a long time, it is easy to develop a slack mentality, and changing the environment can inspire him to fight again.

Even if it's just three minutes of heat, it's better than a pool of stagnant water.

But this also has little effect.

What's even worse is that "Butterfly Game" has been finished some time ago.

The good news is that the book is finished normally and not unfinished. Although the final part is very fast, it ended up with nearly 3 million words, giving a ending that satisfies most readers.

For Cui Geng, this is a historic breakthrough, and it is also a moving thing for readers who have been muttered countless times by him.

The bad news is that all the inspiration he had accumulated before was basically used up.He wrote several new beginnings, but he felt completely dissatisfied after reading it a few times, so he deleted all of them, and has not opened a new book until today.

This makes Cui Geng feel that his creation has fallen into a very embarrassing situation, and his creative passion has gone from bad to worse.

Of course, in addition to the two identities of the second generation and the author of the net, Cui Geng has another identity, which is the special observer of the Tenda Group.

The identity of this special observer allowed him to collect a lot of materials for "Butterfly Game" and also helped Wu Bin of the Human Resources Department to sort out the annotated version of "Tengda Spirit Manual".

But Cui Geng has a B-number in his heart. He knows that he is just an ordinary web writer, who knows neither business nor management, so he only occasionally collects materials in various departments of Tenda, and he has never guided the experts from outsiders. , Affect the work of Tenda's various departments.

Therefore, his status as a "special observer" only gave him a permit to freely enter and exit the various departments of Tenda Group.

Some time ago, Cui Geng held back for a long time in the study class of the end Chinese website, but nothing came out, and the new book was still unremarkable.

So during the Spring Festival, Cui Geng went home and cleaned up for a few days. Every day, he slept in, read novels, and completely forgot about the new book.

As a result, within a few days of the clean days after the new year, Cui Geng got the news from the editor Zhu Xing'an that the end Chinese website was going to run an "inspiration class".

He also sent him a kind invitation, asked him if he would like to write a buyout, and said that Mr. Pei was particularly concerned about this matter, and prioritized Cui Geng by naming his name.

Cui Geng was instinctively unhappy when he heard that he would write a buyout.

I am a leading author with no money, and I have my own pursuit of writing books!

At present, the online text industry has also developed for a certain period of time, and the two forms of payment of manuscript fees have always existed.

The authors have long reached a consensus: Except for a very small number of authors who can continue to write levels and achieve a win-win situation, most of the authors who write buyouts either lose or collapse.

These buy-out authors may have written popular works, but the buy-out system means that all income except the fixed manuscript fee has nothing to do with him, which is a blood loss for the author; and some authors do not lose money, If you don't use 100% strength to write, the result is getting less and less able to keep up with the trend, and the writing is broken, people are also useless, and no one reads when I go back and write.

So when Cui Geng heard that he invited himself to write a buyout, his first reaction was to refuse.

However, after Zhu Xing'an introduced him to him, Cui Geng discovered that the buyout of Zine Chinese.com and the buyouts of other websites seemed to be very different. It was not the same thing at all.

The biggest difference is that the number of words is small and the asking price is high!

Take Cui Geng as an example. If you dig him out of the site, at most it will be a little bit higher than his current manuscript fee. After all, Cui Geng is already the head author of the end Chinese website, and the manuscript fee is already very high. Great room for improvement.If you dig hard, it is too risky for those outside stations and the gains outweigh the losses.

But the Chinese website at the end here requires between 100,000 and 500,000 words, not more than 500,000 words, and the thousand-character manuscript fee is three times the original manuscript fee!

And after adopting this new buyout model, you can also be eligible to experience the "inspiration class" first.

Although Cui Geng didn't know exactly where the "inspiration class" was, the "study class" did have an immediate effect on his creation, helping him to evolve from a gurgling master to one that can finish the book normally and write new ideas. The serious author.

So, can this "inspiration class" save his inspiration that is on the verge of exhaustion?

Cui Geng is very curious.

Out of this complicated mentality, Cui Geng once again came to Jingzhou.

...

Soon, the taxi arrived at the destination.

This "inspiration class" and the original "study class" are in the same office building, but the floors are different.

The previous "learning class" was very successful. It has been run for many periods, and the scale has gradually expanded. At the beginning there was only one room, but now it has been expanded to three rooms.

Even so, the authors of the Chinese website at the end of the day are still enthusiastically participating, each time the number of applicants is full, and editors need to carefully select.

The "Inspiration Class" has fewer places, and you must be the head author of the end Chinese website to participate.

After Cui Geng arrived at his destination, he put his luggage in the hotel first, and then went straight to the "inspiration class".

Although the "inspiration class" will be officially opened tomorrow, Cui Geng has already been to the class many times after all. He is familiar with the road, and he can easily come to the door.

When he came to the floor where the "Inspiration Class" was located, Cui Geng saw several familiar editors unpacking.

The editors are also very familiar with Cui Geng. After greeted him, they let him enter the "inspiration class" area to watch freely.

Cui Geng's first feeling is that this space is too big!

Although they are in the same office building, the "study class" and the "inspiration class" are on different floors and occupy different areas.

The "inspiration class" is only one-half of the "study class", but it occupies more than twice the area of ​​the "study class"!

Taking a closer look, the equipment in the "Inspiration Class" is completely different from the "Learning Class".

There are standard computer desks and chairs in the "study class". At first glance, they are similar to the structure of an Internet cafe or computer room, but in fact the chair is an ergonomic chair, and the height of the table has been specially adjusted, all for the author to have more Comfortable codeword experience.

However, there is no ergonomic chair in the "inspiration class", instead a single functional sofa of a famous foreign brand!

Compared with this high-end single functional sofa, ergonomic chairs have in common that they are all ergonomic, sitting for a long time will not be fatigued, and have less impact on health than other chairs.

Of course, no matter how good the ergonomics is, you will still feel tired after sitting for a long time, and you need to get up and move around every once in a while.But at least it conforms to the ergonomics to make the body's burden relatively small.

The difference between the two is that the use scene of the ergonomic chair is office, while the use scene of the single functional sofa is leisure.

In order to give customers the best movie-watching experience, many high-end VIP seats in movie theaters also use this high-end single-function sofa.The chair can be adjusted electrically, whether it is sitting, half-lying or cross-legged, it will make people very comfortable.

Since there is no office chair, the desk is no longer needed.Opposite the single functional sofa is a TV cabinet attached to the floor, and above it is a high-end OLED TV with the best viewing height and viewing distance supported by the bracket.

OLED TV is the latest technology in recent years. The size is much smaller than traditional TV, but the price is as high as tens of thousands.The reason why it is so expensive is mainly because the OLED TV has a very low screen response time of about 1 millisecond, and there is almost no screen smear. It can achieve pixel-level light control and has an almost infinitely high contrast ratio, so the HDR effect is better. , At the same time, the colors are pure and the natural color gamut is high... In short, the picture quality performance in most aspects has completely exploded traditional TV, and you can get better results by watching movies and playing games.

Of course, compared with those equally expensive gaming monitors, the refresh rate of the TV will be much worse.But the "inspiration class" TV is mainly used to watch movies and play console games, so the requirement for refresh rate is not so high, and the large screen is more important.

Although it is smaller in size than traditional TVs, it is one for each person to watch closely. Therefore, considering the overall size and picture quality, this is the best choice for watching movies.

On the TV cabinet attached to the floor, there are ROF consoles, game consoles and various high-definition Blu-ray discs.And on the bookshelf covering the front wall behind, there are also Blu-ray discs of various movies and physical books of novels.

Beside the single functional sofa, there are high-end headphones, mouse and keyboard, and a small table that can be folded.

In addition, there is a reading light next to everyone's single sofa, which can be turned on or not. When you are tired from watching a movie, you can also read a book.

Cui Geng was a little surprised, and asked the editor: "Will this place be uncomfortable?"

Although the single function sofa is very comfortable to sit on, whether it is for watching movies and playing games, it is not necessarily the code word.

After all, the sitting posture of the single-function sofa is not a posture specially used for code words.

The editor explained: "Oh, that keyboard and mouse are for you emergency, such as typing to search for movies, recording inspiration at any time and so on."

"If you really want to create, then go to the work area over there."

Cui Geng turned his head and saw that there was another office area next to him. The standard desk, ergonomic chair and mechanical keyboard were completely separated from this area.

Obviously, whether it is a TV, a single sofa or a Blu-ray disc, the purpose of this area is to allow the authors to concentrate on watching movies, collecting inspiration and materials.

This has already been arranged, and obviously there will be no such thing as a "little black house" that enforces the code time every day.

The editor explained: "There is also a large audio-visual room over there. The entire room is soundproofed. Cinema-level projectors and audio equipment can be used on demand and can be used by appointment."

"If you want to achieve the best viewing effect, you can go there after watching a complete film. If you just collect materials and don’t have high requirements for image quality, or if you’re jumping to watch, you’ll be in your place That's it."

Listening to the editor's introduction, Cui Geng couldn't help being shocked.

Could it be... Is this heaven?
