Chapter 49 The First Online Literature Competition

  April 15, 1998! This is a day destined to be written into the development history of Dream Technology Co., Ltd.! On this day, Dream Net was revised under the eager expectation of netizens! At the same time, Dream Net officially became a strategic partner with "Under the Banyan Tree"!

  Both parties achieved a series of measures such as resource sharing and advertising sharing! This is also a gospel for many online readers, they no longer need to frequently switch websites in order to read different types of books.

  At that time, the union of Dream Net and "Under the Banyan Tree" almost covered half of the literary works on the Internet! In other words, as long as a netizen wanted to find an online book, they could definitely find it on either Dream Net or "Under the Banyan Tree"!

  Careful readers have found that the new version of Dream Net, although having its own characteristics, is similar to "Golden Book House" in terms of book classification and other functions, with a similarity rate of about 80%!

  This is not Su Zhan's intention, but it has to be done! Speaking of which, Su Zhan also had to admire the website designer of "Golden House", in this era, the website design of "Golden House" has almost utilized all kinds of conditions to the extreme!

  Even if Su Jing had this against-the-sky system, he could only surpass it in some subtle ways. Wanting to overwhelm its level as a whole was an impossible task!

  There are already many skeptical voices on the internet, saying that Mengxiang Network's revision is a copy of "Huangjin Shuwu"! In response, Su Jin and others suspected that Huangjin Shuwu was behind it, but they didn't say anything openly, only spreading rumors privately.

  I'd rather not bother with it anymore. Although "Golden Book House" hasn't said anything about this, their pirated content is even more severe. Now, any works uploaded to Dream Net or "Under the Banyan Tree", as long as they have a bit of fame, can be found on Golden Book House! And those without fame, as long as they exceed 30,000 words, can also be found!

  As for this matter, Su Jin and others can be said to be unbearable! After all, these authors are the ones they have worked hard to win over. It's all about relying on these works to make a name for themselves and establish their dominance!

  Now that "Golden Book House" has done this, all the hard work and achievements have been lost in an instant! Su Jin now sees the four words "Golden Book House" with red eyes, he is deeply resentful of it, hating it to the bone!

  At another high-level meeting of the company, Su Jin and others were still discussing how to deal with the "Golden Bookstore" issue when Zhu Weilian suddenly came up with an idea!

  "I think we don't have to pay too much attention to 'Golden Book House', this is the current state of the internet, and no one can change it! But we can look at it from a different angle! What's most important for a literary website?"

  Indeed, readers are important! In my opinion, there is something that plays a role in literary websites no less than readers! That is the author! And it's original authors! Currently, most online literature is some fast food literature, this kind of literature can have poor writing, poor structure, poor plot and so on, but the one thing it cannot have is poor updates!

  From the current book situation, it can be seen that a web novel wants readers to recognize that 3,000 words per day is the minimum requirement, and 6,000 words per day has the possibility of being popular. All big hits have a daily update of 10,000 words as the most basic condition!

  The internet is a place that values timeliness, often being an hour earlier than others can establish one's advantageous position! If we can get all authors to upload their works on our Dream Net, then we will naturally become the overlords of online literature!

  As for the 'Golden Book House' behavior, I think it can only be a clown! In the future, as people's awareness of the rule of law and copyright awakens, websites like this will eventually be swept into the garbage heap of history!" Zhu Weilian said with some grandeur.

  Su Jin and a few others exchanged a glance, then Su Jin asked: "So how do you plan to increase the author's recognition of us?"

  "On the current web, our union of 'Dream Net' and 'Under the Banyan Tree' has already covered more than half of online literature. It can be said that most authors currently have a high degree of recognition for us! Our main goal at present is to further expand our coverage and strive to achieve monopoly in this industry! We have the strength and also the responsibility!"

  Because current online literature is still in its barbaric era, only when a monopoly enterprise emerges within the industry can it gather the strength of the entire industry to make it bigger!

  I think that holding a network literature competition has a crucial role in achieving our goal!" Zhu Weilian looked at Su Dian with a confident face!

  "Internet Literature Grand Prix?" Su Jin's face flashed with a hint of curiosity.

  Su Jin wasn't surprised that Zhu Weilian would come up with this idea, as in his previous life "Under the Banyan Tree" had organized its first online literature competition under Zhu Weilian's management! It was also this competition that established "Under the Banyan Tree"'s dominant position at the time.

  After Zhu Weilian left "Under the Banyan Tree", "Under the Banyan Tree" also held several online literature competitions, hoping to regain its former status. Unfortunately, many things can only play their due role in specific situations and environments!

  The glory of "Under the Banyan Tree" is gone and will not return, and it's impossible to regain it just by hosting online literature competitions. However, thinking back now, Dream Net and the original "Under the Banyan Tree" before the web literature competition are really similar.

  It was also one of the largest original web novel websites at that time, with a large number of readers and authors' recognition. No wonder Zhu Wenyu would come up with this idea!

  "Great! Let's hold the first online literature competition! I believe this is a responsibility and obligation given to us by history! What do you think?" Su Jin excitedly stood up and asked Da Zhang and others.

  At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of creating history. The first online literature grand prix! This is different from others, it's absolutely a historic moment, regardless of success or failure, as the organizer of this grand prix, he will definitely be written into the annals of history!

  At this point, he suddenly realized why the kings and generals of ancient times would care so much about an insignificant historian. What they cared about was not the historian, but the historian's pen that recorded history for eternity!

  Originally, when a person has no worries about food and clothing, and enjoys wealth and glory to the fullest, what they want most is to live forever. But people cannot live forever, no matter how illustrious you are in life, after death it's just a handful of yellow earth.

  Finally, as time wears on, you will gradually disappear into the long river of history. No one will think of you, and no one will remember you. Only when you have truly merged into history, been recorded by the historian's brush, will people forever remember you! This is also a kind of alternative to being alive.

  And what generations of kings, generals and ministers had sought after with great difficulty was thus easily obtained by Su Zhen. For a moment, Su Zhen felt somewhat lost. Suddenly, Su Zhen burst out laughing, his whole person radiating an aura of vigorous determination!

  I am already on a path that has never been trod before! In the future, there will be many moments like today when I create history. Come on! From now on, I no longer want to be an ordinary person, I want to be the master of the times! I want people in thousands of years to mention my name just as those Confucian scholars mention the name of Confucius! I will be a model for all ages!

  ……

  Now that the decision to hold the first online literature competition has been made, things quickly entered a substantive preparation phase. For example, contacting various literary websites to organize participants, cooperating with major websites, and so on.

  Fortunately, with Zhu Weilian's organization, there shouldn't be any mistakes. After all, he had successfully held a web novel contest in his previous life! However, just as everyone was preparing in an orderly manner, something happened!
