In a slightly formulaic way, the pixiv website is actually a website centered on illustrations, comics, novels, and art.

In a slightly ordinary way, this website is actually a place for some painting enthusiasts to publish their works.

I believe everyone has more or less painting enthusiasts from childhood to adulthood. They may not be professional comics, but they like to draw very much.

The pixiv website is where these painting enthusiasts can display their talents.

They can publish their works on the pixiv webpage and be seen by other painting enthusiasts...

Similarly, the pixiv web page also has a ranking function. Whether it is R15, R18, or ordinary works, the ranking of your works is determined based on the number of likes on the web page.

In other words, this is actually a platform for painting enthusiasts to share and communicate.

Some people may think these functions are simple, and some of them are all things that have been ruined in 2020...

But in fact, in Higashinoji's previous life, the number of users exceeded 10,000 in just 20 days after the trial operation.

Then ten days later, due to the increase in the number of users, the server capacity could only be changed and the beta version of pixiv was handed over to the company's server to run.

You should know that this is just a trial operation. The pixiv web design is immature at all. It is just a prototype and can achieve such results...

In 2010, the official membership of the pixiv website exceeded 2 million, with about 20,000 original illustrations every day, and animation fan works were published on the website. Painting enthusiasts around the world will publish their works on this website... Even the authors of comic conventions that many people like to read basically have personal accounts on pixiv (hereinafter referred to as P site).

This website has a great influence and is well-known by many painting enthusiasts.

Going further, by 2020, P's valuation on the market is about 220 million US dollars.

And now, the era Higashinoji is in 2005.

Not only Japan, but also the world's major painting exchange websites have not yet started.

Not to mention the ranking message mechanism, even the basic prototype of the website has not yet been formed.

The complete pixiv website established by Higashinoji can be said to be a unique player in this era... It is completely no problem to start killing randomly when you draw a knife.

Not to mention anything else, even if Higashinoji only operates this website, it is completely fine to earn more than 10 billion yen a year.

But... Higashinoji actually doesn't really think much about the money value of P site...

For him, the most important thing is the painting talents that the P site is potentially cultivated.

Yes.

With the communication platform of P site, all kinds of people will definitely take the initiative to contribute to it.

As the main website operation, Higashino Studio can directly contact these talents through the P station! This is Higashinoji's purpose.

If there is someone with good painters, he will be his online comic reading platform. If it really doesn’t work, he will invite the other party to be the original artist of Higashino Studio... It’s okay to be an illustrator if it’s not good!

As long as you have a P station, Higashinoji doesn't have to worry too much about the lack of high-quality creators like Iwatsuki Publishing House or Toshima Publishing House.

This complementary business method is what Higashinoji ultimately pursues.

One or two billion yen...that is nothing to Higashinoji now.

So when Yano Ryuichi was beside him, he looked puzzled and didn't quite understand what the P station was for, Higashiji shook his head.

As a person of this era, it is normal for the other party to not understand the role of P site.

For example, a future person in 2005 traveled to the first half of the 20th century, and then loudly told everyone that their phones would shrink to the size of a palm in the future, and that digital cameras could instantly image... They also regard you as a madman.

This is what is called the so-called human vision that will bind one's imagination.

"Yano San, don't worry, this illustration exchange website will work." Higashinoji smiled and replied to Ryuichi Yano beside him.

"Is that true..." Yano Ryuichi still looked half-knowing.

In his opinion, this P site is completely incomparable to another online comic reading site that Higashinoji wanted to build.

At least the latter can also create benefits, while the latter simply increases the operating burden... After all, maintaining a website also costs money.

However, considering that Higashinoji's ideas have always been wild, Ryuichi Yano did not comment too much on this.

He just turned his head and thought, "By the way, Teacher Higashino, the other function you asked me to do has actually been completed, look here."

As soon as Yano Ryuichi said, he opened the website settings and changed all the Japanese on the P site to Chinese.

"According to your request from Teacher Higashino, I asked the web designer to convert three languages, Chinese, Japanese and English..."

When talking about this, Yano Ryuichi's facial expression was a bit strange.

Could it be that Higashinoji still wants to push Station P to the Celestial Empire?

Isn't this too whimsical?

He Yano Ryuichi felt that even his own people could not handle this website... let alone the Celestial Empire.

There is even English...

Is Higashinoji planning to develop globally? This is just an ordinary website. Even from the perspective of Yano Ryuichi's painting supervision, there is no outstanding place in the simple sky blue page design.

In addition to being a fan and rankings for likes, a relatively novelty...

Yano Ryuichi really couldn't see any highlights.

Can this thing really attract others to contribute?

As for the Celestial Empire, and even the whole world... Does Higashinoji understand the ecology there?

Just thinking about it is unlikely to be fine, right?

Could it be that their Dongye Studio will have a illustrator or comic author of the Celestial Empire in the future?

"Yano San, believe me." Higashinoji obviously saw Ryuichi Yano and said happily: "Not only the P station needs to add the system settings for Chinese conversion, but the online comic reading platform that is still being built on the other hand also needs to add the mechanism for Chinese conversion."

Nowadays, Japanese friends are obviously still unable to understand the market of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Especially the comic market of the Celestial Dynasty... that can be said to be blank.

In 2005, the comic market in the Celestial Dynasty is probably relying on the Chinese translation of Japanese single-books in several domestic publishers...

At this time, the online comic reading platform launched by Higashinoji did not need to be translated at all. Just click the button to see his works that have been completed...

This will undoubtedly have an impact on the comic market of the Celestial Dynasty.

"Okay...I understand." Listening to Higashiji's words, Yano Ryuichi couldn't help but touch his half-bald head, his expression looking a little confused.

He didn't quite understand why Higashinoji liked the Celestial Empire so much, but the other party was his own boss, so he certainly had to comply with the other party's requirements.

Higashinoji didn't explain much.

After all, you use your insights from 2020 to explain to a person from 2005, and tell him what to monetize online traffic... these are useless.

Just let him do it right.

Higashinoji checked the Chinese and English conversion mechanism of P station back and forth without any slackness.

After all, the Chinese country still pays great attention to some keywords and sensitive words...

Especially the illustration area of ​​R18, the comic area...

Higashinoji was even thinking about whether to open it to the Celestial Empire.

After all, this thing is really too sensitive. Even if the P site is a web page registered in Japan, it still feels a bit inappropriate when you encounter this line...

"It's better to open up."

Higashinoji frowned and murmured to himself.

Set it to users under the age of 18 to automatically filter out R18 entries.

But to be honest... Higashinoji thinks that even if he sets up this thing, the omnipotent Celestial netizens will probably come up with various means to squeeze into the R18 area in the end...

Not only men, but women actually have...for example, fujokovic and so on.

"This can't make them successful..."

Higashinoji murmured to himself.

Because time goes backwards, Tianchao will introduce network LAN countermeasures. Tianchao has a firewall blocking directly, and many foreign websites cannot log in to browse...

If Higashinoji's P station does not handle the R18 well, it will be a bit difficult for him to talk about this matter with the person in charge of the Celestial Empire in the future.

Thinking of this, Higashinoji looked at Ryuichi Yano very simply: "Yano San, has the function of 'automatic filtering R18 entries for users under 18 years old' in the Chinese conversion system I explained has been completed?"

"Well, it's done. Generally speaking, users of the Celestial Empire under the age of 18 cannot visit R18 content."

Yano Ryuichi patted his chest confidently and said, "This is a filtering system taken out by our famous Japanese network designers... I don't think there will be any problem."

"..." Higashinoji.

Do you think there will be no problem?

I feel like you are underestimating some old pornographic netizens in the Celestial Empire...

Higashinoji shook his head, raised his eyebrows and thought, saying:

"Let's check for the missing points and try not to leave any opportunities for them to see R18 content. By the way, a three-person group is set up to focus on some Chinese users who may flip into the R18 content."

"????" Yano Ryuki couldn't help but widen his eyes as he heard Hitoshi's words.

Wait a minute...

Not only do you need to look at the filtering system problems, but you also need to set up a special group to pay attention to some Tianchao users who may read R18 content?
To be continued...
