Back to 2003

The keyword detection applet is actually very simple and can be completed in a day or two.

But once it’s done, it can only be put aside. Now Tianying and Climb share VIP chapters. Both websites have many illegal chapters. Before the webmaster gives an order, even if the violations are detected, nothing can be done to them. Sample!

Many books rely on pornographic chapters to attract readers!

Within two days, a message spread in the webmaster group - the Ministry of Culture is strictly investigating pornographic and violent content, and is preparing to take action against literature and video websites. Webmasters, please pay attention!

"I'm too busy to check what to check!"

"Let him check it out, don't bother with it."

The webmasters didn't pay too much attention - in everyone's mind, today's Internet is still a lawless place, and the so-called strict investigation is just a big talk. At most, you will be scolded, and there will be no loss at all!

Within two days, almost all online websites with a little traffic received notices from relevant departments requiring self-examination of pornographic and violent content... Of course, everyone still didn't pay much attention.

The Sky Eagle webmaster is also among them.

But Wang Yuke was not calm anymore. He repeatedly communicated with the webmaster about this matter. Finally, the webmaster of Tianying finally agreed to use the keyword detection system to find out the plot that was too exposed, temporarily block it, and let the author modify it by himself.

"Did you make a mistake and actually ask for modification? Whoever changes it is a big fool?"

"Just change it, the pornographic chapter is the most exciting chapter, and if you change it, people will still read it."

"Trash Skyhawk, you are getting less and less courageous! If you really want me to change, I will go to the Singularity."

"I heard that Singularity also asked for changes?"

"Mala Gobi... Then I'll go to Cuiweiju and read and write!"

"Do these editors understand? Changing chapters is more tiring than writing new chapters. These incompetent editors."

On the Skyhawk Forum, countless authors complained.

At this time, Internet authors did not have the concept of prohibiting the spread of pornographic content. They felt that online novels were naturally compatible with pornography. Many small websites even specifically looked for pornographic books to increase website traffic. Therefore, although everyone was notified, Not two people are willing to change.

If you don’t change, I won’t change either.

Except for Singularity and Skyhawk, no one has changed!

Results three days later!

Relevant departments launched a thunderous attack——

Reading and writing are the first to be shut down.

Cuiweiju was also shut down.

Then comes climbing, freshness...

"Yuke, you have done a great job this time!"

The stationmaster patted his chest and felt proud.

Except for Singularity and Sky Eagle, almost all literary websites have been shut down.

"Thanks to Mr. Tang for reminding me——"

Wang Yuke was endlessly surprised and felt excited: "Webmaster, ReadWrite.com and Cuiweiju have been shut down. This is a good opportunity for us. Take this opportunity to let the editors recruit authors."

"Okay, pull the author, pull the author..."

The webmaster excitedly issued an order to recruit authors from major forums.

As major websites were shut down, a large number of authors had nowhere to go and complained on major forums. Tianying took advantage of the singularity and was negotiating with Shanda to send all editors out to recruit people frantically.

Tianying's traffic is already good, and its reputation in the author circle is also good. Seeing that the old website will not be reopened, many authors have no choice but to switch to Tianying... In just one week, Tianying has added nearly a hundred old authors. , including many well-known authors with successful publications.

And with the influx of old authors,

A large number of readers are also flocking to Skyhawk!

For a time, the number of views of Tianying Literature nearly doubled, making it truly the number one book site!

"Webmaster, yesterday our page views were close to half of the Singularity Chinese website."

Wang Yuke, who is in charge of website technology, came to report with the data: "And in just one week, more than 100 new books were added to our library. Among them, there are about [-] books that the editor has found valuable for signing."

"Our Sky Eagle is finally coming forward!"

The webmaster felt quite excited.

Traffic and book volume are the lifeblood of a website. If these two things skyrocket, it means that the valuation of the website has skyrocketed. If you negotiate the price with investors at this time, it will definitely be completely different from before.

"but--"

Wang Yuke bit his lips and felt a headache: "Our server can hardly bear the current amount of data. The delay in readers entering the website is very serious... If the number of readers increases by another 10%, the server may crash... We must increase More servers, or better servers.”

"..."

The webmaster went down instantly.

The problem did arise!

He also wants to change the server, but he doesn’t have enough money!

If all the servers were replaced, it would cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions. He had spent all his property on it, and now he couldn't even afford tens of thousands, let alone hundreds of thousands or millions.

"This is our opportunity and our disaster!"

Wang Yuke sat down and said quietly: "If we can survive this disaster, then the future Internet literature field will be divided between us and the Singularity, north and south... If we cannot survive this disaster, then we may be the same as other websites , it will soon disappear from everyone’s mind and become a joke among the public!”

"Go and talk to those big companies!"

The webmaster took a deep breath and quickly made a decision: "With our current traffic, they will definitely be interested -"

Soon, several previous negotiators were sent out immediately, including Wang Yuke.

……

He wanted to find other big companies, but after thinking about it, Wang Yuke contacted Tang Qinghua first.

"Congratulations to Tianying for successfully surviving the disaster——"

Tang Qinghua smiled and said: "If your website is willing to sell, I am willing to bid 800 million to fully acquire Tianying's shares."

"Mr. Tang, this price is too low!"

Wang Yuke couldn't calm down after hearing this: "After this self-examination incident, our Tianying's various data are almost equal to Singularity, and even the number of VIP books in the library has exceeded Singularity... Your price is not sincere. ah."

"Not sincere?"

Tang Qinghua couldn't help but laugh.

Without his participation in the past life, Singularity Chinese website will be fully acquired by Shengda for US$200 million in October this year... According to the current exchange rate, US$200 million is only 1600 million RMB. Still, other websites have been acquired by Shengda. Guan, when Singularity Chinese is the dominant company, its market value is only 1600 million.

Although Tianying has good data, it is not as good as Singularity in every aspect. It is not the industry leader, so why should it charge a high price?

Besides, the news of Shengda’s financing of Singularity has spread in the industry. With the investment of the largest game company on the Internet, Singularity will definitely be awesome in the future. How can other websites compete with it?

This is also the reason why Yinet and Kingsoft both have money, but they are not willing to raise money from Tianying at a high price. They are just prepared to spend a small amount of money to test the waters... Shengda obviously wants to push Singularity to the position of Internet dominance, and there is no need for other companies to do the same. Not in the mood to compete with him.

"Mr. Tang, can you add more?"

Wang Yuke said in a low voice.

"How about this--"

Tang Qinghua thought for a while and said with a smile: "You must not only negotiate with the Feiniao family. After the other companies have come up with their prices, you can come to me again to see if my price is sincere?"

"I guess that's the only way it can be!"

Wang Yuke shook his head helplessly.
