Chapter 43 Comparison
"Isn't this a plagiarism?" Wang Jian pointed to the computer screen and turned his head to look at Tom.
Tom also walked to the computer, looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "It should be considered plagiarism."
"In the creation of literary works, creativity and ideas can be imitated, but only the method of expression is protected."
"And this "I Am a Great Master" even imitates the expression method. However, I suggest you consult some senior editors."
Looking for a senior editor, that's a considerable expense.
Is it worth it?
Wang Jian thought about it.
Then, he clicked to enter the website backend and looked at the real-time views.
I compared the views in the soft article of the announcement specially issued to promote itself.
It's indeed more than a big deal.
As a time traveler, Wang Jian, although he doesn't know much about the development history of Amazon, he still has a vague sense of familiarity with this name.
That means that Amazon can exist until it travels through time.
Now, my personal website views are actually higher than the newly established Amazon.
Does that mean that from the current point of view, the development potential of our website is greater than that of this first online bookstore, Amazon?
So is it possible to earn back by hiring senior editors, increasing investment in the website, and making the website regular?
He thought for a moment and shook his head.
It's just that guessing is useless, so I still have to make a comparison.
Wang Jian enters the Amazon website address, search for "I am the Great Master", and then click to buy.
Payment methods are Visa Card, MasterCorporate Card, American Express credit card.
He looked at Tom and Rossi and asked, "Can we follow up on this payment method?"
"Of course." The two actually said in unison.
Rosie signaled to Tom to answer.
Tom smiled, "These bank card companies are extremely enthusiastic about their promotion. They want to send credit cards to homeless people and send card swipers to drug dealers."
“Not to mention us.”
Wang Jian nodded in a clear way.
Then, he took a deep breath and said to Rosie: "Stop all the works on the website that may involve plagiarism."
"Then, take the top 50 bestsellers in this year's bestseller ranking as a sample, and count the proportional relationship between their selling price and word count."
"And you," Wang Jian looked at Tom again and said, "Find out the book with the highest clicks on this website except "Archaezing God"."
"Find a way to contact the author and confirm whether the other party has completed at least one volume of content."
"Then, strive to sign an electronic copyright agreement with the other party."
"Electronic copyright agreement? What is the guaranteed or the share? "Tom asked with a trembling feeling that he seemed to be involved in something unique.
Wang Jian thought about the publishing house's share ratio standards.
The best-selling sequel category is up to 20%.
A recognized literary master, a maximum of 25% can be achieved by someone like Hemingway.
Considering online publication, this emerging publication method that is unknown to everyone, and the cost of website operation.
"It's a 50% share." He replied.
"Let's do an experiment." Wang Jian announced loudly.
"Because most of the websites are fantasy novels, let's compare with the benchmark of fantasy novels this year, "Song of Ice and Fire."
"The first volume of "Song of Ice and Fire" is completely based on the publishing house route, and "The Arcane God" takes online promotion and publishing house distribution route."
"And this book on our website is based on the online distribution route."
"Considering the different levels of publicity channels, popularity, and proportions."
"If the author's income on the book on our website can reach one-third of the "Song of Ice and Fire". Then," Wang Jian laughed and said, "I think we may have discovered something that can be called a career."
Tom and Rossi looked at Wang Jian, then turned their heads to look at the computer.
After repeated several times, they nodded at the same time, and then the smile on the corners of their mouths slowly spread out.
Wang Jian sat back on the sofa and began to think about how to increase the exposure of the website and novels that will be used as experimental subjects.
Just when Wang Jian and the other two were crowding in the narrow apartment, busy.
The doorbell of "Ding Dong" suddenly rang.
Wang Jian looked at Tom and Rossi who were huddling in front of the computer and counting various data.
Shaking his head, he came to the door and opened the door.
I saw a touch of red hair, which was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
Then, a slightly mocking female voice rang in her ears.
"Great writer, you're so busy."
Wang Jian rubbed his eyes that were shook by the sun and looked at the opposite side.
It's Lily's best friend, the White Bone Spirit in the advertising industry, Lynn.
He thought of Lily once saying that Lynn knew about him and Lily.
Wang Jian let the other party into the house a little awkwardly and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Of course." Lynn rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, who do you think you want to come to you?"
"What the hell is it?" Wang Jian frowned.
You can be more humble to Lily, but it does not mean that you will be humble to Linen.
As you travel through time longer, your status and wallet change.
Wang Jian is no longer unfamiliar and fearful of this world as he did at the beginning.
Correspondingly, his personality began to change little by little.
Lynn glanced at Wang Jian and asked, "Have Lily been here to find you?"
"No." Wang Jian shook his head.
Lynn curled her lips and complained: "She is still embarrassed."
"That's right." Her expression was a little serious, and she looked at Wang Jian and said, "Jen is going to elementary school. Lily hopes that Jean has the chance to attend the best elementary school in New York, Herris Mann Elementary School."
"And that elementary school is the best private elementary school in the United States. There are three ways to enter. First, pay high tuition fees. Second, have outstanding intelligence."
Lynn paused and continued, “Or there are recommendations from an alumni association or celebrity.”
"The school is currently particularly hoping that the author of the "Ivy League Recommended Books" "Archaezing God" will go to give a speech."
"And that way, this author can recommend a child to go to school."
Linen looked at Wang Jian and shrugged, "Lily is embarrassed to come to find you, so I have to come."
Wang Jian recalled the appearance of Lily and Gene in his mind, and then thought about the appearance of the speech under the concentrated eyes of many children, and hesitated a little.
He really doesn't like children...
Suddenly, Tom and Rosie, who were surrounded by the computer, screamed in surprise and shouted: "I can't believe it's actually a children's book."
Wang Jian looked at the two of them in confusion and walked over.
I saw that the computer screen read: This book was created to coax children, and it is considered a children's book.
I hope everyone will give you valuable suggestions.
Under this message, it is the name of the novel.
Wang Jian looked closely and found it was "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
ps: I have been updated all these three days, because I smoked a box of cigarettes, and it felt like I was flying.
