Silicon Valley

Chapter 225 Picking up garbage

The establishment of major publishing houses is aggressive, but there are many advertisements on the Internet, newspapers, and TV! They naturally know that the first step in the development of a website is to publicize and let others know that there is this website!

As a result, millions of dollars were spent on publicity, and the site began to gain popularity.

But it's just popular.

Compare the data to know how bleak these stations are!

Importing traffic through ICQ and authorizing the ICQ account, IReader has more than one million users, and the daily traffic is close to 300,000. What about other websites? The best is of course the McGraw Hill station, but their traffic is only hovering around 5,000!

Jay Wright, CEO of McGraw-Hill, claimed: "The reason why IReader has so much traffic is because ICQ is among its shareholders. At present, McGraw-Hill has not formed a strategy with Internet companies. Partnership, so we seem to be a little weak in the Internet! However, we will find a partner soon! By then, McGraw-Hill will definitely surpass IReader!”

At this time, the reporter asked: "Mr. Jay Wright, may I ask, why are you so confident that the McGraw-Hill station can definitely surpass the IReader station?!!"

Jay Wright sneered: "It's very simple, our works are famous classics! And IReader novels, huh, you should know, they opened the 'author's section', the stupidest decision of the century, which led to the website The rotten work is rampant! Hehe, how can such a station compete with our McGraw Hill station?!!”

Hearing the words, the reporter asked again, "Excuse me, which company will McGraw-Hill join with the Internet to form a strategic partnership?"

Jay Wright thought about it and replied, "Currently. We're in contact with AOL!"

Jay Wright was very helpless. Originally he wanted to cooperate with the global online website, but after hearing what he wanted to do. Global Online directly rejected itself. Helpless, I can only do the next best thing and choose AOL.

AOL is naturally overjoyed at the olive branch thrown by McGraw Hill and expressed its willingness to invest in shares. The two sides have formed a strategic partnership! If the AOL portal adds a station, it will undoubtedly enhance the user's stickiness!

At present, the two sides are already negotiating the issue of equity allocation!

A week later, AOL and McGraw Hill jointly held a press conference to announce: "AOL has strategically invested in McGraw Hill, investing $5 million, holding 40% of the shares!!!"

The news is not surprising. in the eyes of many. McGraw-Hill wants to compete with IReader, and AOL is its best bet!

AOL provides Internet access services at the source, and has its own browser and portal with huge traffic, ranking in the top ten Internet sites!

In fact, after the marriage of McGraw Hill and AOL, their popularity has skyrocketed in a short period of time! However, it is puzzling. Traffic to the site quickly dropped.

Netizens commented: "Books are good, but too boring! I read books online just to pass the time and relax! Although many novels on IReader are not well-written, they just look cool!!!"

"It's boring, the creativity of the book in here is not enough to make the world go crazy, the writing is ordinary, I don't feel it!"

"The books in the IReader station still look cool, what kind of high-tech, superman wars. Werewolves, magicians, robots, monsters, aliens, the end of the world, computer hackers, etc., it's really awesome!!!"

"I haven't even opened the 'Author Zone', so stupid?!! Many of my friends are writing books on the IReader station, I'll go and support..."

"..."

McGraw-Hill Company.

"Mr. Jay Wright, according to our analysis of readers' comments, we finally concluded a very serious problem!"

"Say!!!" Jay Wright said solemnly.

"Our website only accepts the works of famous writers, not ordinary people, which is an important reason for the loss of traffic to our website!!!"

Jay Wright frowned: "Is our strategy of building a boutique station wrong?"

"Yes, that's right, mainly because the genre they like to watch doesn't quite match the works on our website! Now there are a group of young people who are online, and they like novels that are more imaginative and imaginative, even if they are almost written. They don't mind either! For example, for example, the most popular novel "Resident Evil", this novel contains viruses, zombies, and various high-tech, giving people a feeling of coming to the end of the world, which is quite fascinating! !!"

"Because IReader has opened a 'author zone', there are tens of thousands of writers and tens of thousands of novels! Although many of these works are bad works, as long as one tenth stands out, it is enough for readers to read! And the various rankings on their website can be used to identify the quality of the book! In addition, the location of various recommended resources on their website is also changed every Monday, specifically to provide readers with some new books with excellent results!”

After Jay Wright listened to it, he pondered for a while. Since netizens don't like the works of famous artists, they can only imitate the IReader station, so that more people can participate in the creation, and there will always be suitable works that readers will like.

"Well, then we also open the 'Writers Zone'!!!" When Jay Wright said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he had just ridiculed the opening of the "Writers Zone" on IReader at the press conference not long ago. Stupid decision, and now he is still plagiarizing...

"it is good!!!"

The McGraw-Hill site was soon revamped with a "Writers' Corner," allowing anyone to register as a writer.

However, after this function was opened, not many people registered as writers!

And those who are registered writers, their work is so bad that it can only discredit McGraw Hill!

"Mr. Jay Wright, IReader offers good treatment and traffic, and writers make more money writing books than ours! Those writers who think they are good at writing will publish their works on IReader, unless they can't sign up in the end. Enter the VIP, and they will publish the work to our website!" an employee whispered.

"Is our McGraw Hill station specializing in picking up garbage that others don't want!!!" Jay Wright's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he slammed the table and cursed loudly.

The staff lowered their heads and dared not look at him. Obviously, the CEO was already furious!

When did McGraw-Hill become a litter picker as an American publishing giant? ! ! !

never been...
