Rebirth of the Evil Life

After Lin Feng calmed down, everyone had already re-entered the conference room.

"This financing plan belongs to Mr. Lin's personal behavior, and I have no right to vote. However, I suggest that the company's lack of funds for operations should be discussed after the financing plan is reached, and when Mr. Li Zekai attends the company's board of directors." Liu Yingying's words made everyone wake up.

Wu Zhaopu and the others were not stupid, they understood what Liu Yingying and Lin Feng were arguing about just now. But this should be the case, the company and private property should be separated, otherwise the company will be chaotic sooner or later. As an economic analyst, Wu Zhaopu should have reminded Lin Feng a long time ago, but he has never been able to find a good opportunity to remind Lin Feng. In addition, the company has been in constant turmoil, and plans have been one after another, so Wu Zhaopu also put this Things are delayed. Today, Liu Yingying proposed that it just solved the company's biggest potential crisis.

However, Wu Zhaopu and others were really surprised that Liu Yingying automatically returned Lin Feng's 10% "Second World" shares. They did not expect that Liu Yingying would return Lin Feng's shares. The value represented is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination. In this regard, everyone can only guess that the relationship between the two must be extraordinary, but they don't want to guess how extraordinary it is. For them, as long as the company develops steadily, nothing else matters.

Afterwards, Lin Feng rushed to the "News" without stopping, where there was also the lawyer Guo who had been entrusted by Lin Feng to handle the appeal infringement case, waiting for Lin Feng.

When they arrived at """, Lawyer Guo and others had been waiting for Lin Feng there for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, we have sued Tomato.com and the large and small websites involved in infringement - a total of 202, and the court has also accepted it. We are reviewing the evidence we collected and are ready to start the court at any time. This is the legal fee and the first stage of the legal fee bill " Lawyer Guo handed the bill of legal fees to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took it and saw that the legal fee was not as much as expected. According to the "Procedure Law", the court charged a total of 202,000 yuan in fees for each website that sued at 1,000 yuan per case. However, the lawyer's fee was beyond Lin Feng's imagination. Because Lin Feng did not want these infringing websites to pay compensation this time, Lin Feng's request was that they cancel all infringing works on the website and apologize publicly, so the fees cannot be charged according to the relevant regulations involving property amounts.

According to the relevant laws, Attorney Guo charged 202 Lin Feng lawyers a total of 1.01 million at the price of 5,000 yuan per case. This is still the first stage. As the court opens, it will enter the second stage after that, and additional fees will be charged. , but the cost was naturally not as high as it is now.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, secretly guessing whether the lawyer's fee was too high. Attorney Guo looked at it and quickly explained.

"Director Lin, the fee seems to be very high, but we need to provide the court with as detailed data as possible, so the whole team collects evidence day and night. For example, if the work of "" is infringed, we need to count how many related works are infringed by a website. The number of views and popularity of each work on the suspected infringing website, when the infringement started, how many words were illegally reproduced, etc..." As he spoke, lawyer Guo took out a large stack of data.

Lin Feng took a look and found that the data was indeed very detailed. After thinking about it, the cost is not too high. Back then, Peter Pan Kobe spent a full US$1.5 million in a rape lawsuit. This time the case involved 202 websites, especially tens of thousands of works involving infringement. It cost 1.01 million preliminary investigation fees to collect so much evidence. It's really worth it.

After confirming that the trial will start in half a month, Lin Feng went to see Bao Jianfeng.

"Director Lin, the website has been developing very well recently. After adding servers and increasing network bandwidth, the website access speed has greatly increased. But this is the account statement for this month, and now..." Bao Jianfeng handed it to Lin in a very embarrassed manner. Wind a June financial statement.

Lin Feng looked through it, and by June, "" had signed contracts with 1,125 works in total, and paid an average of 800 yuan per book per month as a full attendance bonus.

A total of 900,000 yuan, including other labor and other expenses, the actual monthly expenditure is more than 2.5 million yuan, and although the income has already been joined by advertising companies, the monthly advertising revenue is only more than 300,000 yuan, and the monthly net loss is 2.2 million yuan.

And this is just the beginning. With the increasing number of authors joining "", especially under the stimulation of Lin Feng's signing and perfect attendance award, excellent works are like a blowout. The problem now is whether to sign or not? Signed, this is a bottomless pit.

The current situation of "" has been encountered by other established websites, but similar "Long Kong" and "Phantom Sword" are only worried about website maintenance and labor costs, while "" also has to worry about paying a large amount of author attendance awards, which is even more serious. Heavy expenses. Numerous established websites that were almost out of breath suppressed by "" have long sat aside and waited to see the good show.

Seeing Bao Jianfeng's sad face, Lin Feng patted his shoulder lightly to reassure him.

"Don't worry, I will announce another 100 million investment into the website later, and I will never withdraw my capital and leave now." Lin Feng's words reassured Bao Jianfeng for a while.

Before that, Bao Jianfeng was afraid that Lin Feng would withdraw money because the website had been losing money—especially at the moment it seemed to be a bottomless pit, and he didn’t know when he would make money—so he would withdraw his capital. Lin Feng's affirmation of Lin Feng's affirmation of his hard work in developing online literature, finally let go of this hanging heart.

However, although Lin Feng said that he would continue to inject capital, he also knew that going on like this was not an option. Now only 1125 books have been signed, but this is already the result of Bao Jianfeng and others being cautious. In fact, there are many excellent works that they did not sign for fear of causing too much financial burden. Once all of them are signed, it is likely that there will be more than 10,000 copies, and the monthly expenditure will increase tenfold. Lin Feng feels dizzy when he thinks of this figure.

However, it is immature to adopt the VIP listing mode now, and it seems that it is not realistic enough for Lin Feng to use advertising revenue to maintain balance. Today's online literature is not valued at all. Even traditional writers look down on it, and major manufacturers look down on this platform.

Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and he must start the influence of Internet literature as soon as possible, so that the public can accept and recognize Internet literature. However, although Lin Feng has a few ideas in his mind, they all need funds to support them. His current private account funds are pitifully low, so all plans can only be postponed temporarily. After reaching an agreement with Li Zekai, he will promote the influence of online literature in the country. .

However, apart from leaving the company, Lin Feng also had to deal with another major matter.

It is now the end of June, and there is only about half a month before the charity performance that was negotiated with the Four Heavenly Kings. In Hong Kong, when the Four Heavenly Kings asked Lin Feng when to hold a charity performance, Lin Feng chose July 13 without hesitation.

This day is the day when China successfully bid to host the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It is a day when the whole country is jubilant. It is undoubtedly a very good idea to hold a charity performance on this day to let all the stars and audiences celebrate the success of the motherland's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games.

However, in order to celebrate the motherland's successful bid to host the Olympic Games, there should be a theme song for this charity performance. Lin Feng thought about it, and his mind went to the Olympic theme song "Welcome to Beijing", which came out a few years later. Plagiarize it and give yourself a prestige.

However, when Lin Feng composed the melody of "Welcome to Beijing" in his head into a song score behind everyone's back, the financial statements of Lin's Group Company in the second quarter of 2001 were released.

In the second quarter, under the development of Su Xiaomei, the "Starting Point Fast Food Chain Store" under Lin Feng will join the "Starting Point Fast Food Chain Store" which has the most conspicuous advertisement on "Super Girl" The number of stores rapidly expanded to 320, bringing Lin Feng a total of 12 million franchise fees and more than 3 million sales commissions.

As for the "Chufeng Net City" in Chu City and the scented tea business, etc., it brought more than 1.2 million profits to Lin Feng in the second quarter. Although it was slightly less than before, Lin Feng was already very satisfied. After all, the price of Internet cafes will slowly drop over time, and the scented tea market is also becoming saturated. Although they wanted to open up the national market before, they were only slightly famous on Dingdang.com due to the high cost of express delivery, but the orders were solid. not too much.

Dingdang.com is now the leading online trading platform in China, with a good reputation and a sound review system, coupled with official guarantees and fair and transparent arbitration for transaction disputes, the daily turnover is close to 100 million, especially now that the mobile phone market is becoming more and more active. A large number of sellers in Shenzhen sold their smuggled mobile phones online through Dingdang.com, which directly promoted the popularity of Dingdang.com. In addition, the country launched online banking in a timely manner, which also made buyers feel more at ease and gradually became accustomed to the new consumption of online shopping. model.

Therefore, Dingdang.com is favored by many manufacturers, and its advertising revenue in the second quarter reached 40 million yuan. After a recent real-name verification, sellers and buyers who have repeatedly opened accounts have also been eliminated, and considering that sometimes sellers are also buyers, and buyers are also sellers. After canceling the previous classification system, Dingdang now has a total of 3990 registered members. More than 10,000, with a daily page view of about 45 million.

Lin Feng's real income still comes from the "second world".

"Legend" brought a total of 270 million yuan in net income to the company in the second quarter, and "Plants vs. Zombies" exceeded everyone's imagination, and also brought 150 million yuan in net income to the company, plus the advertisement of "Plants vs. Zombies" And the sales of peripheral products also brought a net income of 23 million yuan to the company. Although Tomato.com has become well-known, due to copyright issues, there are too few film sources, and because it serves senior members of the "Second World Club", it has no income such as advertisements.

The "Second World Club" has a total of 1.82 million senior members and 1,201 VIP members. In the second quarter, it brought in more than 54.7 million yuan in revenue for the company. However, due to the monthly investment in magazines and the maintenance of Tomato. Balance of payments.

Excluding taxes, employee wages, operating costs and other expenses, "Second World" created a total net profit of 320 million yuan in the second quarter.

According to the final statistics, the balance of the "Second World" account is 450 million RMB, but it must support the development of "Audition", "Swordsman Love Online", the purchase of 3D engines, and the most important "Counter-Strike Online" Asia interconnection plan .

As for the "Tianqiao Theater" purchased in Beijing for the Deyun Society, under Guo Degang's increasing popularity, it also unexpectedly brought Lin Feng more than 200,000 in ticket sales in the second quarter.

At this time, the balance of Lin Feng's personal account was more than 45 million yuan.

After more than a week of busy work, Lin Feng finally plagiarized the song "Welcome to Beijing".
