1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 867 Internet Creation Competition

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the weather in Yanjing has become cooler, and this feeling is more obvious when I get up early.

Lin Weimin went to the roller skating rink to take a look before going to work this morning. Most of the mural project has been completed, and it is estimated that it will be completed before the National Day.

For this decorative mural, Lin Weimin spent another 2 yuan, but now that the effect is coming, he feels it is still worth it.

After all, it is at the level of Central America. The 2 yuan spent is worth it!

After a stroll at the roller skating rink, Lin Weimin stopped by the construction site next to the Jinghua Museum to take a look.

From the demolition and land acquisition last year, to the relocation of the people at the beginning of this year, to the demolition in April, in May this year, the construction of this land finally started.

The project is divided into two parts. The one next to the Jinghua Museum is a three-story building, covering an area of ​​1.3 square meters and a construction area of ​​4 square meters. It will be the future exhibition hall of the Jinghua Museum.

On the other side of the land is the library. This is a 6-story building with an area of ​​1.1 square meters and a construction area of ​​6.6 square meters. Many people have no idea of ​​this scale.

A few days ago, a building in Yanjing was just completed and opened. It is the second phase project of Haidian Book City - Haohai Building. The Haohai Building houses Chinese Literature Society, Yanjing Publishing House, Electronic Industry Publishing House, Yanjing Publishing House, etc. More than 1.8 publishing houses and bookstores, including the University Press, have settled in the building, with a construction area of ​​only [-] square meters.

Including the first phase of the Book City project, the total area of ​​Haidian Book City is only 5 square meters, but it is already the largest book culture building in Yanjing.

The library Lin Weimin wants to build is slightly smaller than the National Library in Yanjing.

A green space is planned between the two buildings. The total area of ​​the project exceeds 4 square meters, the construction area exceeds 10 square meters, and the total investment exceeds 2.6 million yuan.

This number seems to be a lot, but if you include the equipment and books that will be expanded in the future, this number may double again, and if you include the collections of the museum exhibition halls, it may increase dozens of times.

If you look at it this way, 2.6 million yuan is not too much.

However, Lin Weimin still reflected in his heart. He originally wanted to build a library, but he didn't expect it to get bigger and bigger. He didn't care about the money. The key was that it was a bit attracting attention, which was not in line with his usual low-key style.

After walking around outside in the early morning, Lin Weimin drove to the Chinese Literature Society.

After entering the hospital, they saw the driver Xiao Weng wiping the car and Xiao Zhou helping. When the two saw Lin Weimin coming, they started wiping his car as well.

"It's not necessary and it's not dirty." Lin Weimin declined the two people's kindness.

He looked at the shiny Santana in the club, and with a thought in his heart, he asked the little man: "Little man, do you think it's time to replace my car?"

The young man looked at the magnificent Mercedes-Benz and said with a smile: "Boss, you are really good at joking. This is a big Mercedes-Benz. It has only been driven for a few years. If you want to change it, you have to switch to this car in the company!"

Lin Weimin nodded, these are the simple values ​​of the working people.

Han Zhuangzhuang has been immersed in the big dye vat of the film and television industry for a long time, and his values ​​​​have become distorted. He needs to reform and reform.

I came to the office, made a cup of tea, opened the newspaper and took a look.

"The Chinese Literature Society launches an Internet creation competition to expand new boundaries of literary creation."

Well, yes, I saw an article about the Chinese Literature Society’s Internet Creation Competition in Guangming Daily early in the morning. It was also placed on the “Essential News” section of the third page, which not only proves the strength of the Chinese Literature Society’s promotion of this event, but also This illustrates the importance that Guangming Daily attaches to this activity.

Literary creation has played an important publicity role in the development of my D. The Chinese Literature Society has ingeniously opened up the boundaries of literary creation through the Internet, which seems to be something worth writing about.

The whole article is well-written and there is nothing surprising about it. The newsletter is also normal.

After reading the newspaper, Lin Weimin turned on the computer again. The Internet speed was still shockingly slow. He waited for a long time before logging into the web page.

Since the creative competition is named "Internet", it can be properly promoted offline, but the key is to look online.

After all, the main participants in this creative competition are new people who like to surf the Internet. The Chinese Literature Society cannot expect a group of old writers who still write by hand to participate in this creative competition.

Lin Weimin browsed around on several BBSs that he was used to visiting, and found that there were indeed several posts mentioning the "Chinese Literature Society Internet Creation Competition", and there were quite a few people who commented on it.

The Internet Writing Contest is actually equivalent to essay competitions organized by many journals and publishing houses. However, this is the first time such a thing is held on the Internet in the Chinese literary world. Everyone who hears the news is naturally interested.

After reading the forum, Lin Weimin ran to the online chat room to have a look.

Almost all of the earliest online chat rooms in China were opened in Guangdong, which leads the country in popularity. Pengcheng Chat Room and Bihaiyinsha were all established in the past two years, and soon gathered a large number of people. A little heat.

Nowadays, instant messaging software has not yet emerged. Foreign ICQ has just been born, and QICQ is not even a shadow. The immediacy of online chat rooms far exceeds forums and e-mail communication.

Lin Weimin found two user-created chat rooms on Bihaiyinsha and casually mentioned the "Internet Creation Competition". Someone immediately answered the call, and everyone was very interested in the discussion, and they really started chatting.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but nodded happily. It seemed that the publicity effect was indeed good.

A week ago, the official website of the Chinese Literature Society was officially launched.

The launch of the official website of such a public institution will naturally not cause any waves in the domestic Internet field, but Lin Weimin's principle has always been to "be low-key and do things high-key."

His positioning of the official website of the Chinese Literature Society is not just a decoration, but he hopes that it can play a real role and help the development of the Chinese Literature Society. Therefore, when the official website is online, how can such a big event not be well publicized?
On the day the official website went online, an announcement was posted on the official website, and the first Internet Creation Competition of the Chinese Literature Society was officially launched.

The Chinese Press first took advantage of its good relationships with many domestic media over the years to publish the news in many print media.Immediately afterwards, a publicity campaign was launched on the Internet. Aitexin's ITC Compass has been launched for more than a month, and the website traffic is obviously much more than before. The Chinese Literature Society has two exclusive hyperlinks on it, one is the official website of the Chinese Literature Society, A bulletin board directly jumps to the readers' forum on the official website of the Chinese Literature Society. When the red cannon comes, he has to call out "ancestor".

A two-pronged approach, both online and offline, seems to be surprisingly effective now.

There are not many Internet users these days. There are only a few hundred thousand people in the country. But the cultural level of these people is really high. Most of them were or are young literary people. Such activities of the Chinese Literature Society Once it came out, how could it not attract the attention of this group of people.

After browsing around on the Internet, Lin Weimin called Aitexin and asked about the number of registered people on the official website of the Chinese Literature Society.

The official website of the Chinese Literature Society was entrusted with the design and establishment by Atesin, and maintenance and operation were also handed over to Atesin by Lin Weimin. However, people from the Chinese Literature Society were responsible for the content.

Of course, Lin Weimin did not let Aitexin work in vain. The Chinese Society paid Aitexin a management fee of 5000 yuan every month, which can be regarded as a small income for Aitexin, which at this stage can only make money but cannot get out.

Recently, Zhang Chaoyang has been in a very happy mood. It should be said that he has never been so happy since he established Aitexin.

I met Lin Weimin and successfully obtained investment from the Chinese Literature Society. Aitexin also had a backer.

Although the second round of financing of 37.5 US dollars is not much, it has made great progress compared with the first round of financing of Atesin. Zhang Chaoyang also knows that Atesin’s development this year is indeed not outstanding. On this basis, we are lucky to be able to obtain financing equivalent to double the previous valuation.

The response from users of the ITC Compass launched in August was also very good, with website traffic increasing significantly.

Good things happened one after another, and Zhang Chaoyang was naturally in a happy mood.

But just yesterday, news came that broke his recent good mood - Sitong Lifang received $650 million in venture capital from Ivanhoe Mines and Walden International in the United States.

Sitong Lifang is one of the domestic software pioneers. It is also developing Chinese web pages. Its strength is much stronger than that of a small company like Atesin. Now it has received 650 million US dollars in funding. This should be the first domestic Internet company in China. The industry’s largest venture capital investment to date.

Zhang Chaoyang is very familiar with the development history of the Internet industry in the United States. This is a winner-takes-all industry. Once an industry giant emerges, it will be a disaster for other competitors in the same field.

Now everyone is burning money, but Sitong Lifang has a huge sum of US$650 million. It can be said that it will be in an invincible position in China's Internet competition in the next few years.

After receiving a call from Lin Weimin, Zhang Chaoyang first reported the current number of registered people on the official website of the Chinese Literature Society.

The official website has been online for a week, and thanks to the online and offline publicity offensive, the number of registrations has continued to rise.

There were 26 people on the first day, 89 people on the second day, and it broke 167 on the third day, reaching [-] people...

In the days since, registration numbers have continued to climb.

According to the server background display, the number of registered users on the official website of the Chinese Literature Society reached 1055 yesterday, and the total number of registered users reached 2574.

For a website that has only been online for a week, this result is already very good. After all, there are only a few hundred thousand Internet users in China these days.

Moreover, the number of registrations on the official website of the Chinese Literature Society is still rising by hundreds or thousands every day. This is really good news.

Zhang Chaoyang is a participant and witness in the construction of the official website of the Chinese Literature Society. He is not surprised that this new website has achieved such results as soon as it was launched. Apart from anything else, the UI of the website alone is almost inferior to most domestic websites today. Most of my peers.

The web design of the official website of Chinese Literature Society is inseparable from Lin Weimin's contribution. Zhang Chaoyang didn't realize it when it was only in the paper stage. Now that the website is online, Zhang Chaoyang can truly feel Lin Weimin's unique ideas and concepts, and he also gained a lot from it. Less inspiration.

Therefore, when facing Lin Weimin, although the other person does not understand technology, Zhang Chaoyang will still treat him as a colleague with rich knowledge reserves.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Chaoyang talked about the recent huge amount of venture capital received by Sitong Lifang, with a sense of depression and urgency in his words.

"You are right to have this sense of urgency in your heart, but you cannot belittle yourself. The Internet has not been born for a long time, but there are still many experiences and lessons for reference and learning.

Let me just say one thing. If you are in the United States, you should understand the development history of the computer or Internet industries there. Which successful company was born with a silver spoon in its mouth?

Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, Netscape, these companies all started from humble beginnings. When their founders founded the company, many people around them even thought they were joking.

But these people and the companies they founded are now actually changing the world.

Sitong Lifang has now received a large amount of funds, which is of course beneficial to their development, but it will not have any impact on the development of Aitexin.

What you should think about is how to make yourself stronger, rather than worrying about your competitors, let alone pinning your hopes on your competitors' mistakes. Your opponents' failures will not make you better.

Whether you believe it or not, I am very confident in the development of Aitexin.

Coming back to the issue of money, all Internet companies are burning money now. Sitong Lifang has obtained more funds, and they can burn it for a longer period of time. This is of course an advantage.But don’t worry, our Chinese Literature Society is the strongest backing of Aitexin. We will not miss any of Aitexin’s financing! "

Listening to Lin Weimin's sonorous and powerful voice on the phone, Zhang Chaoyang felt heavy in his heart. It was not only touching, but also a kind of trust and encouragement and self-improvement.

"Teacher Lin, I understand, thank you for your enlightenment." Zhang Chaoyang said with some gratitude.

"There is no need to say thank you between us. I believe in you, and you must believe in yourself." Lin Weimin taught earnestly.

"Yes!" Zhang Chaoyang nodded firmly.
