“Everyone should know that our boss is a college student. He studies very hard and is the first Learning Star of Linchuan University.”
“He can understand that poor students have difficult lives and it is difficult to raise 350,000 yuan.”
“The original intention of a student aid program is to allow more people to earn money during their scattered study time, but in turn asking them to pay compensation does deviate from the original intention of our work-study program.”
“Of course, we will not encourage the evil trend of infringement. The platform has already fined them as punishment.”
Dong Wenhao gave this answer when being interviewed by NetEase News.
A female reporter from NetEase News blinked after hearing this: “Can part-time college students earn royalties just by writing articles on the headlines?”
“Yes.”
“Really one to twenty thousand?”
Dong Wenhao lowered his voice: “More or less?”
The female reporter smiled slightly: “For college students, ten thousand or twenty thousand a year is enough to live a good life.”
“Oh, then 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month is not bad, right? Our boss is afraid that he won’t be able to help those poor students.”
“?”
The female reporter was confused and thought, ten thousand or twenty thousand a month? Damn, my salary is not that much.
Seeing this, Dong Wenhao added: “Actually, Tonight Toutiao’s income is based on its popularity. The higher the popularity, the more you earn.”
“…”
As the incident unfolded, Wang Hai, the head of Baidu Mobile, Zeng Yong, the head of Tencent News, and He Xiaopeng of UC, as well as people from other portals, were paying attention to the matter.
After all, this is considered news within the industry.
But as time went by, they felt more and more something was wrong.
Because the direction of public opinion has changed.
Everyone’s focus has shifted from the infringement of Toutiao to how much money the creators of Toutiao can earn.
Especially that sentence, they definitely can’t afford to lose 350,000 yuan. They only earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan part-time.
These keywords are getting more and more popular.
Some people have even begun to publish Tonight Toutiao’s creation income chart and post it on the Internet.
Tonight Toutiao’s creative platform has never been open to the outside world before. It only recruits college students through the content team headed by Lu Feiyu and gives them registration codes for use.
