I Am a Nobleman in England

After Jiang Lai left, Arthur returned to the suite and checked the time. There was still some time before the appointed time. He sat on the sofa, picked up the file bag on the table, opened it, and took out a stack of documents from it.

These materials are about Legendary Company and its boss Chen Chuanqi, as well as Legendary Literature. Looking at the familiar faces in the photos, Arthur smiled slightly. As one of the earliest players of the online game Legendary, he was very familiar with Chen Chuanqi. .

In particular, the other party's rise experience can't be said to be well known, but it can be regarded as well-known. After all, he is the founder and leader of the Chinese online game industry. It can be said that in the first ten years of the new millennium, Chen Chuanqi was definitely a true idol-level figure in China.

As a British partner with Legendary Literature, since Arthur is in Shanghai, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to visit Legendary Literature. Therefore, when the British side contacted Legendary Literature, the other party heard that it was Arthur Boleyn The Earl of England wanted to visit, so he immediately paid attention to it.

To be honest, compared with his partner and his status as a billionaire, Arthur's title of nobility is even more bluffing. The person in charge of Legendary Literature immediately reported it to the headquarters. Upon hearing this, Chen Chuanqi immediately decided to meet Arthur Boleyn in person. This is a great partner.

Being able to meet Chen Chuanqi could be regarded as fulfilling a small wish. However, Arthur was more interested in legendary literature. Looking at the information in his hand, the subordinates of the Celestial Dynasty helped him collect these two days, he Only then did I know that the life of legendary literature seems to be not easy.

The annual income was 20 million yuan in 2006, 40 million yuan in 2007, and 80 million yuan in 2008. In the past 2009, although the tipping function was launched to increase consumption, especially the fan value system, it also It laid the foundation for stimulating consumption, but in 2009, it still lost 74.5 million a year. . .

Therefore, Legendary Literature has been losing money, or has a slight surplus, but only slightly.

The concept of Internet literature in China has grown from scratch, and the living environment has changed from being attached to forums to industrialization. It took only ten years, but this year, the Internet literature circle has changed from a pattern of "competition for hegemony" to a pattern of stable development.

From the current point of view, Legendary Literature has more than 90% of the author resources and reader resources in the industry. Other sites have little room to grow.

Especially the starting point, which was founded in May 2002, is one of the largest literature reading and writing platforms in China, and is currently the leading original literature portal in China.

The headquarters office building of Legend Network Company is a courtyard-style three-story office building with offices on all sides and an open-air courtyard in the middle. The environment is beautiful and the air is fresh.

When Arthur got out of the car, he saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes coming over led by Chen Chuanqi. Among the people in the front row, apart from Chen Chuanqi, whom Arthur recognized immediately, there was also Boss Wu from the starting point. After all, the writer who lived with Boss Wu in his previous life was naturally seen in photos.

"Hi, Mr. Bolin, welcome, I am Chen Chuanqi from Legend Group..."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, thank you for your invitation..."

Arthur smiled and shook hands with Chen Chuanqi, and greeted each other politely. Then, Chen Chuanqi began to introduce his team to Arthur. Although Boss Wu felt a little baffled by his enthusiasm and kindness, he didn't take it too seriously. He also shook hands with Arthur very enthusiastically and said welcome words.

Although what Arthur most wanted to visit this time was legendary literature,

However, Chen Chuanqi couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of Chen Chuanqi, so he was surrounded to the spacious and bright meeting room, and held a symposium.

To be honest, Arthur is not interested in other businesses of Legendary Network Company, and, to put it bluntly, Chen Chuanqi's sharp vision did make him a lot of money, but he is not very good in management, more importantly What's more, since last year in 2009, the legendary company has actually started to go downhill.

Although, after 2009, the Internet companies developed by Tianchao have many models similar to Legendary, but they all rose up, but Legendary Company did not get them up. Although the biggest factor is that Legendary Company’s rhythm is too advanced, After all, the mobile Internet had not yet started at that time, and many promising businesses were still in the pipeline, but serious problems in internal management could not be ruled out.

Through the discussion, Arthur was able to hear that Chen Chuanqi tried to use the complementary response of the sectors to build the entire Legendary network into a closed-loop industrial chain. This is also an entertainment Disney strategy that has been pursued by many industries for many years. This is not surprising.

Although it is the first time for everyone to meet each other, it should be a shallow exchange of words, but Chen Chuanqi doesn't seem to care about telling Arthur his ideals, but by game development, game operation, original literature, video sharing, film and television production, game The legendary department consisting of game-related businesses such as themed tourism, copyright distribution, and wireless distribution is exactly his ideal.

Arthur also listened carefully, nodding his head in approval frequently, but he felt pity for it in his heart, because the "low-key and arrogant" Chen Chuanqi seemed to be "very unfortunate" in the creation of every link.

For example, Legendary Literature, which Arthur is most interested in, has never provided strong original support for Legendary’s game business since its establishment, and this was originally the part that Chen Chuanqi had the most high hopes for Legendary Literature.

The so-called copyright operation was even more unsuccessful, and no money was made from it at all.

"The reason is because we were also in a learning stage in practice..."

When the discussion was over, Chen Chuanqi took Arthur to visit Legendary Literature Company while Boss Wu was waiting for the management of Legendary Literature. When Arthur mentioned copyright operations, Chen Chuanqi explained with a little embarrassment.

Hearing his boss's explanation, the accompanying management was a little ashamed. To be honest, not only in film and television drama adaptations, but also in other sections such as online games and online advertisements, the original content of literature has not played a role.

And the official legendary literature and even the main reason why the entire online literature market has been unable to gain recognition. Everyone says it is the future, but it still remains in the imagination.

"This is a treasure trove. It would be a pity if we can't put them into operation." Arthur said with a smile as he looked at the internal working scene of the Legendary Literature Company.

"My martial arts world website is almost a starting point for complete learning. Many online authors have settled in, and several excellent online novels have appeared. Two of them have already been favored by British film and television production companies and are in negotiation Film and television adaptation rights.

In fact, in this regard, we can learn from the models of DC Comics and Marvel in the United States. You should have seen Marvel’s "Iron Man", which raked in $580 million at the box office worldwide. The creation and operation of super IP It's an opportunity! "

Arthur's words meant to rub salt on the wounds of Chen Chuanqi and other Legendary Literature management, but the fact he said, although the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Chen Chuanqi still smiled and shook his head and sighed: "Look, what we do The teacher's, but left behind by the students..."

Chen Chuanqi used Chinese, and the meaning of the translation to Arthur by the side translator was completely changed. However, Arthur could naturally understand Chen Chuanqi's words to beat the management of Legendary Literature, and he didn't show it enough. Just smile.

However, the face of Boss Wu who was following him changed slightly. He exchanged glances with another leader of Legendary Literature, and then gave him a look to signal the other party. The other party nodded solemnly, and said, "Actually We already have a plan to set up a script adaptation company, which will increase the value of the work by four to five times, and will also participate in the share of downstream TV stations and film companies."

"This requires a lot of capital investment." Arthur smiled and looked at Chen Chuanqi, who was also smiling, and said very suddenly: "Mr. Chen, if Legendary Literature needs financing, I am willing to invest, and I am very optimistic about it. potential!"
