Chapter 104: Liu Wei Joins Forces

  After much consideration, Su Jing still couldn't bear to give up Blood Red. The truth is that the current Dream Net really needs talents like Blood Red. Thanks to the existence of the Writing Club, Dream Net doesn't lack small gods, and even some writers with powers similar to those of the gods in later generations have appeared. However, there is only one true great god, and that is Su Jing.

  Su Jin is now going to venture into film and television, and later will definitely enter more fields, so it's destined that not all energy can be put on the Dream Network. Although Su Jin predicted that the great gods of the previous life would soon be born one after another, it was just speculation, and grasping the present was the most important thing.

  But the most important thing is that a great god like Blood Red is too powerful. In some sense, an author like Blood Red can single-handedly support a website, just like Su Yan did for Meng Xiang Wang back then.

  It can be foreseen that if Su Jin cannot bring Hong Xue into the Dream Net, he will go to other websites for development, which will undoubtedly have an impact on the Dream Net. Su Jin decided to meet with Hong Xue and discuss what to do next after meeting her.

  Hurry up and finish dinner with Liu Mei, Su Jin arranged for Liu Mei to be in charge of contacting Xue Hong, asking when he would be available.

  Xue Hong's response was unusually swift, and as soon as he received Liu Mei's contact, he immediately replied that he had time at any moment and could see Su Jin's arrangement. This made Su Jin somewhat unexpected, yet also somewhat reasonable. He suddenly thought that the identities of both parties had changed now, Xue Hong was no longer the supreme god of later generations, but just a newcomer writer.

  Su Jin was not a writer of later generations, but at least equivalent to the position of chairman of websites such as Chuangshi and Hengxiang in later generations. Think about how a newcomer who has just entered the industry would react when encountering these characters. The bloody performance is not surprising.

  Soon, Su Jin met with Xue Hong. Su Jin did not arrange to meet at the Dream Technology Company, as that would make him appear too overbearing. The location was arranged at an old place, a coffee shop opposite No. 1 Middle School.

  Xue Hong's real name is Liu Wei, and he doesn't have a particularly impressive build, being rather round and chubby, which explains why many friends in later generations called him "Little Fatty". Liu Wei's attitude has a hint of shyness, but more often than not, it's calm and composed. In the year 2003, when Liu Wei was writing books, he had just graduated from university and started working. Judging from this, at that time, Liu Wei should still have been a university student.

  As a student, Liu Wei can behave so properly when facing himself, it seems that he is indeed not an ordinary person. Perhaps because Su Jin has never attended university, he always has a mixed feeling of envy and admiration for college students. This makes his attitude towards Liu Wei even better.

  "Mr. Liu should still be in school, I wonder which school he is attending?" Su Jianming asked with a knowing smile.

  Liu Wei smiled and said: "I majored in computer science at Wuhan University."

  "It seems that university courses are not too tight, otherwise, Mr. Liu would not have time to write." Su Jin said with a smile.

  "It's not that intense, the management of universities is completely different from high schools, high schools are high-pressure and universities are low-pressure. However, many times this also depends on personal interests, like Su Zong who started his own business while still in high school." Liu Wei said with a smile.

  Su Jin looked at Liu Wei, a smile spreading from the corner of his mouth, slowly growing bigger and bigger until he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Liu Wei looked at Su Jin and also started laughing along with him.

  Rumors are true, and there have been many comments from netizens in the future. Liu Wei is born in Shandong, a place known for producing strong and arrogant people since ancient times, which makes him naturally carry an air of arrogance. This is perfectly reflected in his works, and also evident in what he just said.

  Just like before, he clearly knew that he had no future in studying and didn't plan to continue working hard, so he switched to writing and entrepreneurship. But then he said that he was studying while utilizing his free time to start a business. It seems like there's nothing wrong with that. However, if you connect it to what he said earlier, it would naturally show that he is also just going through the motions in school and didn't plan to study hard, and everyone is the same kind of person.

  A topic that was originally somewhat shy to speak out, was expressed by him in such a clever way. It seems that he also has the ability to speak differently to different people and ghosts.

  "Haha, Liu Ge said it's really good, indeed it depends on personal choice." Su smiled and said, taking advantage of the good atmosphere to quietly change "Mr. Liu" to "Liu Ge".

  In fact, he now rarely socializes with people, especially his employees. He is already old and naturally pays more attention to his dignity, otherwise who would listen to him in the company? However, it depends on the person, for someone like Liu Wei who needs to be won over, socializing is a way to show respect.

  "To be honest, I've always admired President Su. No matter what, at your age, there are very few people who can achieve what you have achieved. Even if there were, most of them would have relied on various resources from their families. But President Su is the only one who has made it to this point solely based on his ability, and that's truly admirable." Liu Wei said with a sincere expression.

  Su Jinyu calls Liu Wei "Liu Ge" as a sign of respect, but Liu Wei wouldn't really respond to this title, or else he would be too proud. So Liu Wei still addresses Su Jinyu as "Director Su".

  It has to be said that Liu Wei's words made Su Yan feel extremely comfortable. As an ordinary person, he would naturally feel happy when praised by others. Especially when facing the praise of Liu Wei, a great god who was admired by him in later generations, he felt even more proud and complacent.

  Suddenly, Su Jing made up his mind. He wanted to sign Liu Wei. He thought that looking at Liu Wei's performance, he wouldn't be a stubborn and persistent person, perhaps his goal was not difficult to achieve.

  "Liu Ge, I read your 'I'm a Rogue' and overall it's written quite well!" Su Jin said with a faint smile.

  "Really? Thank you for the compliment. Does Dream Net want to sign this book?" Liu Wei said tentatively, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

  Su Jian smiled faintly, knowing Liu Wei's confusion. If he just wanted to sign "I'm a Rogue", there was no need for him, the editor-in-chief, to show up in person; any ordinary editor would do. Even if it were to show importance, Liu Mei would have been a good choice.

  Su Jin shook his head and said: "We don't plan to sign 'I'm a Rogue', this book doesn't meet the standards of Dream Net. What I want is to sign you."

  "Sign me? What does it mean?" Liu Wei was somewhat perplexed.

  "It means signing you as an author. To be honest, I have high hopes for you, and your writing skills are well demonstrated in 'I'm a Rogue'. Although this book cannot be published on Dream of Literature due to not meeting our standards, you can definitely write another one that meets the requirements, and we can collaborate again." Su Jin explained.

  "What rights and obligations do I have then?" Liu Wei said cautiously.

  Su Jin's eyes swept across a hint of appreciation, saying: "The right is that, as a contracted author of Dream Net, the books you publish on Dream Net will have the right to be recommended and at least once between 100,000 words and 200,000 words, and then look at the situation later."

  You know, as the book list on Dream Net gets bigger and bigger, it's getting harder for readers to discover a book without any recommendations or advertisements. To address this issue, Dream Net has established various recommendation charts. The books that make it onto these charts have all been reviewed by editors, and while I wouldn't say they're 100% guaranteed to be good, at the very least 90% of them are a cut above your average book.

  Now, most readers have developed a habit of first looking for books in the recommended list, and only if they can't find them will they go to the library. This way, you naturally have an advantage over other authors. Moreover, signed authors' books also have advantages when published, as Dream Net has a direct physical distribution system.

  The most important thing for a book to be physically published is its content, but even the most professional editors cannot guarantee 100% accuracy in terms of whether the content can gain market recognition. Therefore, various data obtained online become an important auxiliary reference. And books signed by authors have priority rights under the same conditions.

  "It sounds good, but is there any obligation?" Liu Wei asked.

  "There is only one obligation, that is, the contracted author must not sign with any other website before the contract expires." Su Jin said calmly.

  In fact, this contract is equivalent to a certain point in the future. In the future, it can be said that every website is doing so, but for now, it's still an innovation. Su Jin is planning to try it out on Dream Net, and Liu Wei happens to be the first test subject.

  Actually, A-sign and VIP should be complementary to each other, only books with A-sign can be put on the shelves. Unfortunately, it's not the right time to implement VIP yet, so we can only start with A-sign for now. Fortunately, there is physical publishing here at Su Yan, which can also serve as a substitute for VIP.

  Actually, Su Jin had already been preparing for the implementation of VIP. As time went on, the advantages of having a publishing house were no longer so obvious. Seeing the profits, other publishing houses and websites have also joined forces and started issuing their own networks.

  "It can be seen that 'the world is full of people seeking profit, all coming for gain. The world is full of people competing for profit, all going for gain.' How true this statement is! In the face of naked profit, everything else is fragile and cannot withstand a blow."

  "Alright, I agree!" Liu Wei didn't hesitate much before agreeing to Su Jin's proposal. He wasn't unaware that agreeing to Su Jin meant he would have to start all over again. But he still agreed, and it had to be said that the temptation was great at this time, even someone like Liu Wei couldn't ignore it.

  Of course, this has a lot to do with the current strength of Mop.com. As the website that started earliest, is currently the largest in scale and influence, and has the best development prospects, Mop.com's influence on writers like Liu Wei is fatal. Perhaps when he becomes a god, he can ignore these things, but for now, he doesn't have this qualification.

  "Haha, okay, then I'll represent Dream Net in welcoming Liu Ge's joining. Looking forward to Liu Ge uploading new books soon!" Su smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with Liu Wei. From now on, Dream Net finally welcomed a true great god.
