Time passed quickly, and early Sunday morning, a bolt from the blue came.

Li Kang was directly confused by the sudden news.

The news is wrong. Where are the free readings on the other stations? They still pay for reading, and the paid readings that the website pays for readers!

The news locked tightly, and even their quasi-level executives could only know a little bit. They probably thought it was free to play. When the entire announcement was made, it was half an hour before the direct announcement.

The opening point was caught off guard.

Because they had free before and were not prepared enough, they suffered heavy losses. They still had to subscribe this time, but readers have countless opportunities to make money.

The accumulated reading time of daily life can be exchanged for a priced currency, and this currency can be withdrawn. It is simply a different way to grab readers.

It's so cruel. I've never heard of paying money when reading books.

Who paid for this money?

It is definitely not the website that is released. If the website is given money in vain, it is not going to lose money.

But no matter who uses it, this move is fatal enough.

Unexpectedly, Li Kang and Guo An were frowning in the editor-in-chief's office.

Li Kang hung Xie Ke's sign at the door, quit the social software that was about to explode, and rubbed his eyebrows red.

"Old Guo, what should I do?" Li Kang asked a little weak.

Guo An was helpless: "Editor-in-chief, I... can't think of a solution."

Yes, there is no way to think so well.

But Li Kang couldn't imagine who would be willing to spend this big price.

The price has been announced. The reading time is 1 yuan per hour per day, and then one more yuan per half hour. If you like five or six hours a day, it will be about ten yuan. If you look at it for 20 hours, it will be 39 yuan.

This price is simply a sky-high price, which exceeds the lowest income in some regions.

There will inevitably be a large number of readers coming.

Just make money when you have nothing to do. You can earn hundreds of dollars in a month, even the same as the attendance at the end of Li Kang when he first joined the company. Is it so fragrant? It’s so fragrant!

Not to mention that one-third of readers who were expected to pass, according to this situation, it would be nice to have one-third left in a week!

Although the overwhelming advertisements are worse than when Yihang Group is trying hard to promote the opening point, the effect is not as good as the opening point.

Reverse paid reading is something that everyone will be interested in.

The traffic at the starting point... is slowly decreasing.

The reason for the slow down rather than a cliff-like decline is that advertising coverage takes time.

Many people don’t know what happened after they know it, and Li Kang had already predicted it.

He has little confidence in the prospects.

This move is fatal.

A novel website ultimately comes down to searching for readers' fragmented time.

Reading novels now is much more convenient than ten years ago. You can read them by picking up your phone, cut them out when you have something to do, and cut them back when you have nothing to do. The invisible cost is more than ten times lower than before.

So this is also the key to the increasing number of users.

But...one has to pay, the other can make money. Even if readers still pay to read novels on Qidian, they only make money on other websites, which is also a huge blow to Qidian.

The user's time is occupied by other websites. How much more can the reading time can be allocated to Kaidian?

Even if they will not abandon the books they are pursuing now, but without free time, it means that there is no shortage of books. Without shortage of books, it means that they will not look for new books. No one will look for new books or subscribe to them, and Qidian's income will become lower and lower.

The situation is difficult to break.

The next step is probably because there is no subscriber source, the author cannot afford to eat, and then the author changes career, which makes the few remaining readers lose their books, so readers continue to lose, and the author cannot afford to eat...

This is a vicious cycle.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Kang scared himself.

The traffic is still declining, so I have to find a way.

Think, think, think, think, Li Kang pondered hard.

"I just want to be a fool!" Li Kang suddenly stood up irritably, scratching his head frantically, as if he was getting stronger by scratching his baldness.

"Or why should we subsidize too?" Guo An, who was beside him, carefully suggested seeing Li Kang's manic appearance.

After hearing this, Li Kang did not agree or object, but stood there and began to focus on weighing the pros and cons. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Old Guo, no, we can't be led by them. We can't afford to subsidize them like this. We have more than 200 million users. If we really do this, I'm afraid that we will have to spend all of them in less than a month of accumulation last year. That's not worth the loss. It's better to close the door."

"That's right." Guo An thought about it and agreed with Li Kang's statement: "The user base is there, even if someone leaves, they can't finish it. There will always be people who stay there. In the past, more than two million active users were enough to raise one. At worst, everyone can live a hard life again. I don't believe that only two million people are willing to stay this time."

Guo An took this for granted. The benefits of Qidian are incomparable to the past. Not only are the benefits of their staff increased several times, but even the authors have a total attendance of up to 5,000 yuan. Moreover, only 2 million users can afford them if they are under a thousand words per cent.

But his words gave Li Kang confidence. Yes, in the past, the hard-hearted readers were unwilling to leave, but now there are so many books in Qidian, even if most of them are lost, Qidian will not lose money.

What's more, the continuous subscription of overseas readers has made Qidian stronger in recovering blood. Even if the domestic losses are lost, the foreign income is enough to maintain their business.

Thinking of this, Li Kang finally calmed down.

Just don’t lose money, so don’t rush to deal with it randomly. Making mistakes are prone to making mistakes. It’s better to calm down and see what your opponent will use!

Just relying on what is now, you can't defeat it.

"Where did they get so much money..." Guo An muttered: "In the past, I had to wait for at least 20 hours a day, and it would cost thousands of dollars a month. If I go to ten millions of dollars in a month, I will have to get tens of billions in a month. Where did they get the money?"

This is reasonable. Ten million people are hundreds of billions, and 100 million people cannot reach hundreds of billions? The richest man can't withstand this kind of consumption.

Did their money come from the flood?

No, absolutely not, there must be something strange about it.

Li Kang thought about it and directly downloaded the "Go to Read" app in the advertisement.

If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first understand your opponent. Li Kang gave them enough respect.

The "Go Read" app is the largest website, so Li Kang chose it.

Register and set your password. After 20 seconds, Li Kang had a brand new "Read" account.

One dollar for the first hour, under the gaze of Li Kang, Guo An also logged into his account on another website, "Aiyue.com".

"Hey, Lao Guo, your account... is quite high."
