Chapter 179 Buyout
In addition, in terms of recommendation resources, the contract obtained by the master stipulates that the website will give the god-level writer a first-level recommendation of each book at least five times!
This first-level recommendation is a standard set by the website, including homepage large-scale push push, banner push, pop-up ad push, etc.
In Tong Yao's platinum contract, the number of first-level recommendations reached ten times, and it also included an S-level recommendation and personal interview.
The so-called S-level recommendation is actually the announcement area that the website usually sets on the homepage.
This position is the most conspicuous, and usually in bold red characters. If you add personal interviews, then the author reveals not only a certain book, but the author himself.
The fans gathered by the book and the fans gathered by the author are two different concepts.
No matter how many fans you have, if you don’t become popular, then after writing this book, everything is equivalent to starting over.
But if the fans gathered by the author will be different. These fans like this author, then the books written by the author in the later period will basically be sought after by fans as long as they are not hopelessly bad.
Only at this point can one be considered a true god!!!
And at the beginning, what we need to do is to create a god!
As long as one can be created in a year, relying on this god can attract countless readers to the website, and the readers' viscosity will be very high!!!
Most of the great god contracts and platinum contracts are welfare benefits given to the authors, and there is only the last one, which makes some authors hesitate.
[Article 23: The contracted author cannot publish a book on the same type of platform within five years. Once the agreement is violated, this website will reserve all rights such as compensation and prosecution. After the five-year period expires, the author and the platform have the right to choose whether to renew the contract.]
This agreement is actually relatively neutral. It seems that it is not enough to talk about the overbearing terms. After all, you have enjoyed all the resources that others have provided to you in the past five years to help you improve your reputation.
People have finally cultivated you into a god, and then you pat your butt and go to other platforms to make money? How is this possible?
Therefore, there will definitely be restrictions on the contract of the website.
Moreover, in terms of this clause alone, the restrictions are not too strong.
First, this contract is aimed at your pseudonym, which means that if you don’t want to write it, you can also breach the contract and go to other sites, but your pseudonym will not be used within five years.
Second, if you really think the website is not good, and you are afraid of breach of contract and lose money, and you dare not go to other sites, and don’t want to make money at the beginning, you can choose to temporarily stop writing and rest. After you have survived the five-year contract period, you can change the site smoothly.
Third, if you have money and are not afraid of compensation, or other websites agree to compensate you, you can leave at any time without having to worry about the contract agreement.
However, for most people here, they actually didn't think so carefully, and they wouldn't let you consider it. After the contract was issued, the staff next to them were waiting to sign.
Although there are risks, the benefits outweigh the risks, so many people have not considered it at all.
After all, when they came, these people came for this thing, and soon most of them signed.
Zheng Jia looked at Tong Yao, as if she was waiting for her words.
Tong Yao picked up the pen and smiled.
"Sign it, it's only five years, only one or two books, and this contract is indeed beneficial to us. In addition, this platform is really good, and I have no plans to change places at the moment."
"Hehe, so do I! Then I'll sign it!"
"sign!"
The two agreed and looked at the terms of the contract, then picked up the pen and waved their hand, and signed their pen name directly.
After submitting the contract, the scholar took out another contract.
"This is a buyout contract. I'll explain it to you a little bit. Buyout contract means that our website pays money and buys out all rights and interests in your book, including copyright, and all subsequent royalties..."
Before he finished speaking, a discussion broke out below.
"This... seems to be a bit pit..."
"This is too domineering, how can this be..."
"That's right, this work is all written by us with great effort, how can we sell it to you all..."
...
The scholar seemed to know that there would be such a big reaction, and he didn't stop him in time. He smiled and explained again after everyone's voice became a little weaker.
"Don't worry, listen to me. When buying out the contract, we are not forcing it, it is voluntary! It is completely voluntary! As for us, we just want to give everyone an extra choice.
The website will take away all the income from your book later, and will also take away the copyright of your book, but!!!”
He suddenly raised his voice here and immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"But! We will definitely give you a very reasonable price!!! The website has previously estimated your books. You can check the contract first. If you think it is worth it, then sign it. If you think it is not worth it, you can also not sign it."
The word "voluntary" dispels all the inner resistance of everyone, and many people show more anticipated expressions.
Buy out!
Although it is more commercial, the fundamental purpose of writers is to make money.
Everyone you sells the copyright to, but the website is just a first step and is close to the water. People give the price. If you think it is suitable, buy it. If you think it is not suitable, continue to wait for the price.
So after the scholar finished speaking, everyone started to discuss with each other.
"Hey, are you signing?"
"It depends on how much it costs. If you give it 100,000 or 200,000, you will only sign it. But if you really give it hundreds of millions, you will only be a fool if you don't sign it."
"Tsk, I have to give you hundreds of millions. Is the fool who is afraid of the website?"
"So, it depends on how much it costs."
"Well, that's right. It's not impossible for us to buy it out. It depends on the price..."
...
As the discussion came to an end, the buyout contract was soon issued.
but……
After reading the contract, everyone's brows began to frown again...
"Your contract!"
After the staff respectfully handed Zheng Jia the contract, he looked at Tong Yao, smiled embarrassedly, and then left, yes, left...
Tong Yao was also ready to reach out to take over her contract, but she reached into the air and was immediately embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, the scholar came over and leaned over and said to her in a low voice.
"Haha, I prepared a copy for you, but... your copyright has been sold now, so the buyout contract cannot be signed."
Tong Yao suddenly realized, thinking that the copyright was 10 million. If this book was bought out, the purchase price would definitely include the copyright fee. Isn’t this a sky-high price?
To buy out this book at a sky-high price, one is that it is not cost-effective, and the other is that it is meaningless.
Why doesn't it make sense?
