Qidian / 起点中文网

Qidian / 起点中文网 appears in No.202 盛大的盛大，传奇的传奇 | 中国互联网故事20 as the core web-fiction asset inside [[ShandaLiterature|盛大文学]]. The episode uses it to show that [[Shanda|盛大]]’s entertainment ambition was not limited to games: serialized online literature could become a content library, user community, and IP source.

Qidian matters because it became a bridge from Shanda’s “network Disney” idea to [[YuewenGroup|阅文集团]]. In the source, it is one of the clearest examples where Family Internet Portal Strategy did not fully work as a hardware-home portal but did leave an enduring content-platform asset.

Connections

• [[ShandaLiterature|盛大文学]] and [[YuewenGroup|阅文集团]] — platform lineage.
• [[Shanda|盛大]] and Chen Tianqiao / 陈天桥 — ownership and strategy context.
• Game IP Long Tail — adjacent IP logic, even though Qidian’s branch is literature rather than games.
