294. The counterattack of the old people 6
[Hang, new author Baiwei’s novel "Restaurant" needs to be collected and subscribed to get votes] Baiwei is the pen name of Yan Chu.
Floor 0: Haha, I opened the Thousand Words Favorites folder today and saw that the number one novel was actually a new work by a newbie. If only it was just like this, it would be a god. But then, I saw The second-ranked novel is actually Taishen Tianbaiyao. Her novels are basically popular, and her readers are also famous for being die-hard readers. I just read it. The collection of Dashen’s novels is 40,000, and the collection of newcomers’ novels is 20,000. Dashen’s novels The last chapter of the novel has 37,000 clicks, and the last chapter of the newcomer's novel has 20,000 clicks, which is barely the same as the collection. Could it be that the ratio of subscriptions to chapter v for the newcomer is higher than that of the great master?
Normally, the clicks on the free last chapter of a book and the clicks on the first chapter of chapter V will remain at about 4:1, because of all the readers who collect novels, some are fattening, some only read the free chapters, and some are stealing As a reader of the article, it is considered very good to be able to maintain the click rate of the first quarter of the article after entering v. As the chapter v is updated, the number of clicks will gradually decrease.
Generally speaking, the novels of great writers, because they have so many die-hard fans, may reach a two-to-one ratio after a few good ones, which is already a very good result.
Just like the Tian Tapiyao mentioned by the poster just now, the opponent is Lujiang's top-ranked master. He has been active in the Internet literary circle for nearly ten years. He has many die-hard fans and his subscription ratio is definitely higher than that of ordinary authors. According to conservative Calculating two to one, she has a collection of 40,000. At least Chapter V has nearly 15,000 to 20,000 clicks. Is it possible that the newcomer is so evil that he can achieve a one to one collection ratio in his first book? Can't?
Besides, it’s strange that the clicks on the first and last chapters of the free chapters are basically the same. Readers have so many different tastes. It’s impossible for everyone to like the novel you write, and few will abandon it halfway through. ?
As soon as this post appeared, it quickly aroused the curiosity of readers and authors who were browsing the forum. Soon, other readers and authors began to leave messages.
Floor 1: The original poster’s suspicion is also my suspicion. I just left a message under that article. Unfortunately, there are still too many idiot fans of that book. My reasonable guesses have been labeled as black and pink eye by them. You can talk.
2nd Floor: It’s indeed pink eye and black bar. Do you have enough evidence to prove that someone collects and earns money? When someone suddenly posts on such an important list as the Thousand Words Collection List, I really doubt the original intention of the poster. .
3rd floor: Pai, can you please stop posting someone’s thousand-word bookmarks every time? Their data is good and their writing is good. Please give me a pink eye before you hang it up. Can you check out their bookstores? Wait until you understand your relationship with others. If there is a gap, you should know why you can't reach others' level.
Floor 4: Well, I want to say that this author is really rich. You see, not long after the article was published, there were wealthy readers who had paid thousands of votes, and I saw several scan accounts promoting this book. Obviously those who scanned the account in the past did not recommend this kind of novel that was new to v. It can only be said that the atmosphere in the literary circle is getting worse and worse. Some people don’t want to think about writing novels, and just rely on marketing. The entertainment industry uses various methods to hype up its own novels. Can such an approach of putting the cart before the horse really last long?
5th floor: Fourth floor, have you seen it too? There are indeed a lot of readers from Weibo under that book, emmmmm, RMB players, you can’t afford to offend them, you can’t afford to offend them.
…
This post became more and more popular. When it reached more than 100 floors, when I clicked on it again, it showed that the post had been deleted. At this time, the readers and authors who were just bored to join in the fun were surprisingly angry.
Why delete the post? Does Lujiang protect such famous currency players?
All of a sudden, several posts about Baiwei and "Restaurant" appeared in the forum, almost all of which were criticized. Even though some people explained in the posts that the forum does not allow people to hang around. Maybe this is why Red Coat The post was deleted because of the reason, but the angry readers and authors refused to listen. Some people even went to the bottom of the article to brush off the negative points, confirming the fact that Yan Chu was marketing with points.
However, the readers at the bottom of the article are obviously much more capable than these small-scale negative score-swiping armies. When someone comes to the forum to give negative scores, die-hard fans will report them with malicious negative scores when they see them, and at the same time, they will drop mines to suppress the negative score. , because of the concerted efforts of so many die-hard fans, some neutral people began to believe that this book might actually contain trolls.
After all, how can a new author have such loyal readers? You must know that for an author who has a strong readership, all readers are very carefree. Unless you become a great god and have godhood, you can be in the world. When you encounter an attack, a group of readers will appear to defend you desperately.
As a newbie who has just started writing online articles, Yan Chu has only barely understood Lujiang’s various ranking rules. He is still unfamiliar with the existence of the forum, so there is an earth-shaking commotion surrounding him in the forum. At that time, he was still looking at his profits in a good mood, and he deeply felt the fact that gold can shine wherever it goes.
Because of being on the thousand-word ranking, the collection of novels has experienced another explosive increase, from more than 20,000 collections when it was listed in the early morning to more than 30,000 collections now. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon. There will be another wave of explosions in the evening. It is expected that when the list is released today, the collection of this novel will reach 40,000, or even higher.
The increase in collections also brought about a sudden increase in income. Looking at the four-digit daily income, Yan Chu touched his chin and felt a different kind of satisfaction.
Before that, he had tried to make money by stock trading, selling snacks, becoming a doctor, a scientist, and an actor, but he had never tried writing a novel.
I have to say, with so many heart-warming messages of encouragement from readers every day, and the feeling of having so much money, it is really not bad. Even though writing a novel is not as simple as outsiders imagine, it is still enjoyable.
If the current momentum can be maintained, his conservative income will be maintained at around 20,000 this month. If he can be on a good list, it may be higher than he expected.
This is only his first novel, and Yan Chu is already very satisfied with such results.
He is not greedy at all.
Yan Chu, who felt that he was awesome, opened the comments. Because of the latest version of Lujiang, the mobile web page opened the comments normally, and only the comments of the latest chapter appeared. What Yan Chu saw was still the wind and sunshine, singing and dancing, and in the After absorbing the pertinent suggestions from several loyal readers, Yan Chu began to think about the future outline.
As for those comments that had not read the novel but were negative on the free chapter just because of the scolding on the forum, unfortunately, he did not see any of them.
[That, I want to say, there seems to be a reason why that book is so popular]
Just when the forum was clamoring for Yan Chu to give an explanation, a post suddenly appeared, giving those readers who supported Yan Chu a shot in the arm.
That post uploaded a lot of screenshots. These screenshots were taken from the tongue tip account and several food bloggers. These big bloggers who were not supposed to be related to the novel eight poles actually unanimously recommended Yan. Chu's novel also left a message saying that if you try the recipes in the book, you will get a big surprise.
Tongue Tips, a semi-official account, even speculated that the author of this book is likely to be a descendant of a royal chef with a family background and numerous palace chefs, or someone who has been immersed in cooking for decades and suddenly became interested in writing. God of Cooking.
Apart from these two speculations, there is no reasonable explanation that can tell everyone why this novel can write about food so vividly. Every secret recipe is meaningful. Through practice, it is indeed more popular than what is currently on the market. The so-called recipes are more precious and reliable.
A good novel suddenly became associated with food blogs, and those who originally yelled at the author to improve his scores suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
If it were just some food marketing accounts, you could still say that the author spent a lot of money to promote her food articles in this way, but the tongue tip account also came to an end. Can you say that a small author can bribe semi-official accounts? The tuba advertises for him?
If the other party really has this ability, why would she write a novel? Wouldn’t it be better to spend money on being comfortable at home?
But this is a bit contradictory. If the recipes in the novel are really as good as several food accounts say, why would the author publish these recipes so generously? Opening a restaurant or selling these precious secret recipes to other restaurants would make much more money than writing novels, right?
[Hahaha, I don’t believe that someone can generously contribute precious recipes, unless that person is mentally ill]
[I think you are the one who is sick. In fact, I have wanted to say this for a long time. Obviously, the comments under the previous novel were very harmonious. Everyone was thanking the author for giving so many delicious and practical recipes, and some readers Let’s exchange tips on cooking. You haven’t read the book at all, so you think it’s hype and marketing. Now you still suspect that the recipe given by the author is fake. Only your bullshit is true. Do you think you are Ultraman? 】
[Upstairs, don’t insult Ultraman, that’s my idol]
[Hahaha, take back Ultraman and change it to Bumpman]
[Indeed, I have wanted to say it for a long time. The author who posted the forum posts several times was so indiscriminate and could not provide any conclusive evidence. It was just because she thought, she thought, was she God? Is she really that powerful? Why not? She should have been asked to make legislation in the first place, let her be the only female judge, and shoot everyone who disobeyed her opinion]
[That’s right, the author was proven innocent after several times of being naked. However, the pink eyes that caused the person to be hanged in the first place disappeared in the end and pretended to be stupid. As a result, the author was scolded for throwing a basin of dirty water in vain. I’m afraid it’s still unclear to this day. Some people think that is the dark spot of those authors]
In fact, after this post came out, most of the doubts about Yan Chu have been cleared away, except for some people who stubbornly believe that a new author cannot have such incredible results, or who insist on not doing so due to reasons such as pink eye. Those who believe it, most of those who had doubts about Yan Chu's collection, have now realized their mistake of rashly taking sides.
Some of the readers and authors are still somewhat sensible, and they did not stick to their mistakes just because they were wrong at the beginning. After they realized their mistakes, they chose to support subscriptions or to drop landmines on Yan Chu's novel. , as an apology for my previous gaffe.
Perhaps they were also curious about how this book attracted so many gourmet accounts. Most of the readers who subscribed to this book chose to read this article from the beginning, and then they discovered that they had also unknowingly entered this novel. In the big pit.
In the evening, Yan Chu coded a new chapter and uploaded it. When he checked the chapter messages from the previous day, he saw many messages apologizing to him and comforting him not to be sad about what happened during the day.
What happened during the day?
After uploading the new chapter, Yan Chu looked confused. He followed the clues in the message to the forum and saw the beginning and end of the matter.
However, the remaining forces had been defeated at this time, and by the time he discovered those few posts, they were basically all messages supporting him.
…
He seemed to have missed the moment when this matter most needed him to come forward.
Yan Chu saw that everything was calm, and he never thought of looking up the IP addresses of the first few posters. He looked at the income so far without any worries, and went to sleep happily.
If those who tried to interfere with his writing in this way knew that this incident had no impact on him from beginning to end, they would be furious.

"Have you found the person?"
Mr. Qiu is very anxious. Although he is very old, he still keeps pace with the times like young people. He has the habit of browsing Weibo. However, the Weibo accounts he follows are basically party accounts and some official accounts. I also like to read some current news and news related to food.
As one of the top restaurants in the gourmet food circle, Mr. Qiu is also paying attention to it.
When A Bite of China started filming, as the most representative family of royal chefs in China, Qiujia Cuisine also collaborated with the program team on A Bite of the Tongue to film an episode about palace cuisine. The response at that time was very good, and Qiujia Cuisine The dish has brought a new wave of popularity.
Because of that pleasant cooperation, Qiujiacai’s official Weibo account and Shijidian account are still related to each other.
When he was scrolling through Weibo today, Mr. Qiu discovered that the tongue-in-cheek account actually praised "Eating House" by name. He could almost imagine that his competitors might be just like him, racking their brains to find out the author behind this novel. , spending a lot of money to acquire the secret dietary recipe in his hand that has not yet been announced.
Based on his prediction of the main story line laid out by the author, I am afraid that the author will have at least hundreds of secret recipes in his hands. If each of them can be as good as the previously announced recipes, those who get these secret recipes will be able to bring Walking to your own restaurant, you will reach another peak.
"We have already contacted the copyright editor of Lujiang, but because the information is confidential, the copyright editor needs to communicate with the author before we can get his contact information."
Qiu Huo is still very smart. He knows that it is difficult to obtain the author's personal information using ordinary methods, so he simply purchases the copyright and obtains the author's contact number through Lujiang.
And their purpose is indeed similar to this, except that the entertainment industry buys the copyright of novels to make movies, while they buy the copyright for recipes for meals that have not yet been announced.
Since ancient times, food, clothing, housing and transportation have been extremely profitable. Especially now that the economy is developed, the catering business is surprisingly easy to do.
A dish of vegetables that costs less than ten yuan can be sold for sixty-six, eighty-eight, or even higher in a big restaurant, which is almost a huge profit.
Therefore, the enemy is not short of money, and it is not the same as other industries. The daily turnover is a large amount, and the funds are sufficient.
Qiu Huo has already thought about using money to spend all those secret recipes when the time comes. Otherwise, if such recipes get into the hands of other competitors, it may be even more detrimental to them.
"Well, hurry up."
Mr. Qiu nodded: "Many people have noticed this novel like us now. We must not let others take the lead."
The old man is now also a loyal reader of this novel. He noticed that the author of this novel still cares about the opinions of readers. At first, he wrote some dishes that were more difficult to operate. However, when the readers asked that the author could describe some dishes suitable for After making home-cooked meals at home, the author began to intersperse the article with descriptions of some relatively simple but equally delicious dishes.
Mr. Qiu is happy to see such a scene happen. Since ancient times, what has been sold at high prices in restaurants has not been home-cooked food. Rich people are not fools. When they come to eat Qiu’s palace cuisine, of course they want to eat those rare and precious dishes. Only that kind of dish can be used as a signature dish to attract a steady stream of new customers and retain those old customers.
The author must have some more cherished recipes. Mr. Qiu even suspected that the other party might have some lost recipes. As long as they have one, their Qiu family's cuisine can be qualitatively improved.
So this time, he is bound to win.
"Okay, grandpa." Qiu Huo nodded in agreement, with a steady expression and a hint of excitement.
Just because grandpa attaches great importance to these secret recipes, as long as he can complete this task perfectly, his status in grandpa's mind will definitely surpass that of his other cousins.
"By the way, tell me honestly, do you, do you like a man or a woman?"
When Qiu Huo left the study, Mr. Qiu stopped him again. After being silent for a long time, he asked with difficulty.
Because of the existence of "Restaurant", Mr. Qiu once had an idea to read through other novels on the website to see if there were such wonderful recipes in those novels.
As a result, he discovered something. The man in the novel actually got together with a man.
This was so shocking that the old man immediately searched for comments about Green River on the Internet and learned that it was a site for women and gays.
My eldest grandson visited such a website when he had nothing to do, which made the old man unable to help but think about it.
"grandfather."
Qiu Huo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Facing his grandfather's complicated expression, he didn't know how to explain and prove his straight sexual orientation.

"Are you saying that someone is interested in the copyright of my novel and wants to contact me to ask about my future outline?"
Yan Chu knows that copyrights are very popular now, but they are basically the copyrights of great gods. He has just written the beginning of this book, and someone wants to buy the copyright. This sounds a bit like a pie in the sky.
"More than one?"
This was not normal. Yan Chu thought about it and agreed to the editor's permission to give his contact information to companies interested in purchasing the copyright.
The revenue from the copyright of the novel is the bulk of his income. According to the current market price of copyright, it is conservatively estimated to be in the millions. With this money, he can help his parents renovate the house in his hometown, and then there is a legitimate reason to let him They work less hard.
And once the copyright is sold, it is an affirmation for an author, and it also means that he has achieved something in the online literary world, and seems to be one step closer to his goal.
After turning off the QQ interface, Yan Chu put aside his doubts, rubbed his sore shoulders, and walked outside the house, deciding to stretch his muscles.
"Ouch——"
In this world, grandparents pampered Yan Aotian, who was raised to be even more arrogant. The dog who thought he had a new supporter became a little indifferent to Yan Chu, the real owner.
"Awwww——"
Dogs now also have a backer, so don’t even think about turning them into dog meat soup.
The petty dog Aotian still remembered the lesson Yan Chu taught him in his previous life, and raised his head and shouted at him proudly.
"Let me tell you a big truth, that is, dad will always be your dad."
Yan Chu looked around and saw that the parents who had been the most protective of this stupid dog in the past were not there. He clenched his fists and directly dragged the stupid dog up, which was lying on the ground like a dog cake and wagging its tail. , tied a dog leash to it, and forced it to exercise.
"Ouch - Ouch - ugh -" Yan Aotian, who was fed into a husky pig by his grandparents, let out a shrill scream.

"Sister Gu, where did you and Brother Yan come from?"
These days, most of the crops in the fields have been harvested by Erdao dealers, and every household has only enough food in the fields for their own consumption. Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang look like they have just come back from town.
If they don't have to sell vegetables, what are they going to do in town?
"Going shopping."
Gu Aihong's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard others greet her.
She tugged at the clothes on her body: "Isn't this how my Ah Chu earns money? He insists that his father and I go to the town to buy some new clothes to wear. I won't give them and you force the money into my hand. You "We are all old, why should we wear new clothes?"
At this time, what Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang were wearing were bought from a small wholesale market specializing in clothes for the elderly in the town. The styles were quite new and the prices were not expensive.
However, these two pieces of clothing were not spent with the money given by Yan Chu. His more than one thousand yuan had long been deposited into a separate account by the old man and the old lady. Now he is spending his own money to buy clothes.
In the past few years, the couple has been really frustrated. Now their son is making money. Although he doesn't make much, they also want the people in the village to know that their son is not a waste, he can make money, and he is not an old man. , you see the first thing he does when making money is to give it to them.
A few years ago, he just went astray, but now he is back. As a father and mother, he will not allow the villagers to continue to look at their children with the same eyes as before.
"Yan Chu made money?"
Could it be that the sun comes out from the west? The people in the village didn't believe it, but they also knew that Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong were the most honest people. It made no sense that they had tolerated it in the past few years and now they were covering up for their son.
"Hey, you can finally enjoy the blessing of having a son, congratulations."
Some villagers expressed their joy to the old couple, while some others looked down upon them. How much money could that loser who had been useless at home for so many years earn? I'm afraid he had to buy two pieces of clothes with a bruised face, and just use the money he earned. It's all spent.
But thinking about it, no one said such a slap in the face in front of the old couple.
Yan Chu dragged him all the way, and Yan Aotian, who was breathing out with his tongue out, stopped not far away, and saw the two old men with proud faces in the crowd quietly disappearing again.
He felt that he should really increase his efforts to make money.
