Chapter 129 The Story of Mountain and Moon

Chapter 129 Story of the Mountain and the Moon

Wang Zixu put a headset into his ear and said "hello" twice. Ye Lan's voice came from the headset:

"Come on, little prince! Don't be knocked down by life! You are the best!"

Wang Zixu was stunned: "Why is it you?"

Ye Lan said: "I'm borrowing the channel to cheer you up. I thought of a slogan, 'Stop speaking softly, and literary warmth will last forever'. What do you think?"

"It's not good, it doesn't even rhyme."

"Then you think of one."

Zuo Ziliang's voice intervened: "Stop making trouble, you will be connected soon. One last reminder: Even if you are forgotten by the whole world, don't be a grapefruit that rots quietly."

Wang Zixu knew that he was speaking a code word, reminding himself not to be affected by his wife's affairs. The prince smiled silently. This bald head had a delicacy that was inconsistent with his appearance.

“What grapefruit?”

In comparison, Ye Lan is much rougher.

“Okay, okay, let me reiterate, you just need to announce our new contract,” Zuo Ziliang said, “You can also express yourself and use your idol-level appeal.”

“I understand.”

“It’s time to start.” Zuo Ziliang said.

“Speak softly, and the warmth of literature will last forever!” Ye Lan shouted from the side.

Zuo Ziliang finally disliked Ye Lan's slogans that had no literary qualities, and said over her voice: "Hit the snake within seven inches, and defeat the enemy with one move."

Immediately, there was silence in the channel.

Wang Zixu took a deep breath.

…

Half a month ago, Wenwen app encountered the most disgusting opponent since its establishment, Qingyan.

When facing the menacing script team, Qingyan adopted an ancient and effective tactic, which can be summed up in one word: piracy.

They organized a number of head speech therapists in the Qingyan team to form a group to register an account in Wenyan.

The Little Prince’s script is distributed in batches to all speech therapists with outstanding performance. These therapists receive the script in front of them, turn around and start chatting quietly.

Qingyan has traffic support for this group of speech therapists, and they can get more promotion in Qingyan. For them, Qingyan can eat from both ends, but for Qingyan, it is equivalent to grabbing food from the tiger's mouth.

Not only that, Qingyan also sent editors to poach people day and night. As long as Wenwen speech therapists who have been on the list have been poached, they promised that as long as you come over, we will provide traffic support and daily sales promotion, and you will make much more money than in Wenwen.

In recent days, at least 15 of the top 20 products on Qingyan’s daily sales list are using Little Prince’s scripts. Moreover, these people also have accounts in Wenwen, and they take orders at the same time in Wenwen. It is like driving an online car-hailing service, switching between one car and several platforms to take orders.

Real business war is so simple and unpretentious. Not only did Qingyan do this, several new speech therapy software companies imitated the same, and Little Prince's script became the bible in the industry.

During that time, Zuo Ziliang and Ye Lan calculated their income and found that Qingyan's net profit was almost as high as theirs. Because all the costs were shared with Wen Ai.

In other words, they worked hard to train speech therapists and a script team, but in the end, most of the profits were taken away by Qingyan.

Who can bear this?

The key is that this kind of behavior is difficult to prevent. If Wen Wen does not send scripts to all speech therapists, then their core competitive advantage will be lost; if it takes time to identify who is a true Wen Wen loyalist and who is a spy, it will consume a lot of manpower and increase personnel expenses.

And piracy over Qingyan is almost costless: even if only one spy comes in, he can get all the scripts of the day. Text in the electronic age is cheap, and people can forward it to everyone in the blink of an eye.

Qingyan has now become an abscess lying on Wen Yan's body sucking blood. Today is the time to pop it.

The countermeasure that Wang Zixu thought of was also very simple: upgrade the existing speech therapist contract.

They drafted a new standard contract. The original contract was "A-level signing", and the new contract was named "S-level signing".

From now on, only “S-signed” speech therapists can get the new scripts and are eligible to receive training. The platform’s traffic resources will also be tilted towards S-signed speech therapists.

The contract signed by S has higher requirements for speech therapists. In addition to the monthly sales must be higher than 1,200 (this number is calculated and is not too high, but the profit is enough to cover the script expenses), the speech therapists signed by S are not allowed to sign with other similar companies, otherwise they will be compensated with high liquidated damages.

At the same time, the Little Prince’s script will be circulated as internal data, with its own confidentiality clause. If it is forwarded and leaked, once it is verified, you will face litigation.

This move removes the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, hits the snake seven inches away, and defeats the enemy with one move.

The new contract does not directly solve the problem of "piracy". As long as Qing Yan racks his brains, he may be able to train a speech therapist who gets an S visa. Allowing this speech therapist to do some talking and stealing can also benefit millions of families in Qingyan.

But this speech therapist must have the following characteristics: loyal enough to Qingyan, willing to go to court for Qingyan, and at the same time indifferent to the traffic support of Wen Yan's S-sign, preferring to only eat subsistence allowances, but also make sacrifices for Qingyan's great cause, and send exclusive scripts to others for free.

In the capital society, if Qingyan can find such a loyal person, then Wang Zixu and Zuo Ziliang will have nothing to say and can only sue each other backhand.

Moreover, even if there is a fire thief like Cheng Xing in the world who has no self-interest and only cares about others, it will not help the overall situation. Because the new contract excludes non-competition, except for the few head speech therapists who have reached the top of Qingyan, the majority of middle and lower-level speech therapists have no reason to continue to stay at Qingyan.

Without a speech therapist, what’s the use of having a script?

Before Qingyan can think of a way to deal with it, they will enter a vicious cycle in which the lack of speech therapists leads to a decrease in traffic, and the decrease in traffic leads to the loss of speech therapists.

Of course, this method is easy to say, but it is not as simple to implement as imagined.

If it were in the past, when Wen Yan was smaller, they would not be qualified to issue such a contract signed by S. Issuing such a contract is simply asking for death for a small company with no voice. Who would think twice about causing trouble for themselves? They will be resisted by all speech therapists in the profession.

But in the past half month, the situation of Wenwen Company has been turned upside down. The Little Prince's new work is on the market, and the traffic of Wenyan App is also rising steadily. Now they only worry about the lack of speech therapists, not the lack of traffic.

In this case, a fool would not sign the S visa. There may be boycotts, but as long as the flow of articles does not decline, boycotts will not help.

This is the reason why Zuo Ziliang specifically asked Wang Zixu to announce the decision in person: in order to minimize the emotions of the speech therapists, asking the little prince himself to speak may be the best choice.

After the believer cut off the channel, he enthusiastically came down and said to other believers:

“How did I say it?”

“Not very good. "Like this," Sakura-chan said, "Especially the last sentence, it's very redundant."

The believer became angry and said, "Those comments are outrageous! Shouldn't you speak up?"

No one paid attention to him.

Xiaoba said: "Let's not talk about this. The new contract is about to be announced. Do you want to sign S?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

As members of the Wenhua Club, several speech therapists were the first to know about the new contract, and they even put forward some opinions on the contract.

Sakura-chan said: "Sign, I won't use other software, the terms will not affect me."

The believer said: "I plan to sign too."

Xiaohachi said: "But, will the company take advantage of it in the future?..."

His worries are not unreasonable. The company has its own considerations. Although the various supports under the S visa are tempting, it must consider the issue of not being able to easily move away in the future. No one wants to be involved in lawsuits.

The poet said: "I have researched it. The contract is only for one year. After expiration, you can freely decide whether to renew it."

"One year. I can afford to wait." Xiaoba said.

The believer said: "Listen to what the little prince says."

Although the little prince is also a senior executive in the company, he always gives people the feeling that he is more like a speech therapist than a manager.

Wang Zixu stared at the manuscript in front of him, which briefly wrote the main points of the speech and various data.

These contents were what he asked Huang Da to prepare, and he also polished them himself. However, facing the pop-up screen in front of him and looking at the text scrolling on it, he suddenly changed his mind.

He closed the folder.

Outside the glass curtain wall, Huang Da froze.

"Hello everyone, I am... the little prince." Wang Zixu said, "I will speak next."

His voice is compressed and converted into electromagnetic signals, which are transmitted to various terminals at the speed of light.

Ning Chunyan sat up straight on the sofa.

"Originally I prepared a short speech, which contained some very important words about money, income, traffic, contracts, and some business matters. But before saying those words, I planned to say some unimportant words first.

"These words have nothing to do with everyone, only about myself.

“When Zuo Ziliang, the boss of Wenwen Company, found me, it was the most desperate period in my life.”

Backstage, in another workroom, Ye Lan and Zuo Ziliang looked at each other.

Ye Lan’s eyes showed deep fear.

What is he talking about? Is this different from what was promised?

Moreover, how could the little prince be desperate?

Seemingly responding to her, Wang Zixu continued: "I'm sorry to show you my vulnerable side, but I promised a person to be honest. So I am here to tell you that before I wrote the so-called "Little Prince Love Letter", I was extremely desperate

“I live in a very small place. China is very big, and the earth is also very big, but the scope of my life is very narrow. It is not much bigger than the planet B612 where the little prince lives. Just one baobab tree without eyes is enough to destroy the entire planet.

“There is a Japanese writer named Atsushi Nakajima. He wrote a short article called "The Story of the Mountain and the Moon". The protagonist in that story wanted to become famous through poetry but was never able to achieve his wish. In the end, he went crazy with jealousy and became a

“‘I am deeply afraid that I am not a beautiful jade, so I don’t dare to think hard about it, but I half-believe that I am a beautiful jade, so I don’t want to be mediocre and associate with rubble. So I gradually separated from the world and alienated myself from the world. The result was that resentment and shame increasingly fueled the timid self-esteem in my heart. ’ This was my state at that time.

"But if a person has never succeeded, how can he believe that he is a beautiful jade? If he is not understood by anyone, how can he keep his self-esteem from becoming a fragile window paper? If the world is originally made of baobab trees, apart from living on trees, we What other options are there?

“At that time, I split into a dozen of me, attacking and criticizing each other. I hope that in the fierce battle with myself, a winner will emerge and let the winner decide everything. However, what survives are only unattainable ideals and inextricable desires.

"The ideal pulled my spine, and the reality pulled my wings. I would either crawl on the ground, or sink upright, twisting between the two forces. This is the reason for my despair. What supported me at that time was an extremely slim hope, and And even hope is like lying to myself. I don’t know if I can survive without lying to myself, but I know that I have almost turned into a tiger.

“But even in the most desperate times, I did not turn into a parasite. It's ridiculous to ride on a horse and use windmills as enemies, but it's tragic to lie on someone else's body and suck blood.

"What I want to say is that some people are stealing my works and illegally using them for other purposes. Regardless of whether my works are good or bad, they are all condensed after a series of pains and are part of me. I don't want anyone to continue to steal.

"You can not believe in yourself, but don't distort others, that is not kind. I don’t know if my words will inspire goodwill in the hearts of those who steal the script, but I know that a contract written in black and white may be more effective.

“This is the second topic, the more important thing: we are launching a new contract...”

Hearing this, Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a risk, the topic finally came back. I thought he was going to run away."

She patted her chest and turned to look at Zuo Ziliang, only to find that his eyes were shining.

“It’s great.” Zuo Ziliang said, “This is much better than reading the manuscript dryly.”

“Huh?”
