Wang Bo slowly walked to the last police car. On the way, he met several Aocheng policemen. They all treated him very respectfully. It was obvious that Wang Bo's ability in several cases impressed them.
In fact, recalling it carefully, Lao Wang feels that he has not done anything remarkable. He can only say that his colleagues in New Zealand are too rubbish, and a general like him was forced out of his trap.
When he arrived at the police car, he took a look and saw four people locked inside. One of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, and the other three were younger and dressed in ordinary clothes. They had neither dyed hair nor fancy clothes. The four of them were ordinary people on the street. People are almost the same.
After looking carefully, Wang Bo asked doubtfully: "Did the four of you stay in the villa on the farm just now?"
When they attacked from the east, they caught four people. It seemed that it was the four of them. He didn't look carefully at that time. After the four people came out of the villa, they squatted down with their buttocks stuck out.
The four of them sat there dejectedly, like partridges beaten by the wind and rain. After listening to Wang Bo's words, the middle-aged man said feebly: "Yes, police officer, I picked up the gun at that time, but I At that time, you didn’t know you were the police, and I didn’t carry out the attack, right?”
Wang Bo said: "I'm not here to hold you accountable. I want to know how long have you been working for Robert?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "What Robert? I swear to God, I don't know who Robert is. We are just a band. Someone invited us to cover some songs, so we came."
"How many years have you been singing here?"
"We don't stay here all the time. We only stay here for about ten days a month at most. We record a few dozen songs and then leave."
"I'm asking how many years have you been singing here? Are all the songs in it covered by you?" Wang Bo asked pressingly.
A young man in his thirties with yellow hair stood up irritably and said: "You have asked me ten times. We have been singing here for four or five years. Who remembers how long? Anyway, we just sing, just like in a bar. Just like a resident singer..."
"Like a resident singer in a bar? Will the bar record records for you? Will they release these records for you? You already knew this was a crime, didn't you?" Wang Bo said coldly.
The young man wanted to yell, but the middle-aged man gave him a stern look and said, "Reddy, sit down! Leave this to me and I'll handle it!"
After speaking, he looked at Wang Bo and said calmly: "Yes, we know this is a crime, but we only provide singing, just like singing in a bar. We don't care about the purpose of these records or the source of these songs."
"How much does the owner here give you? How do you make profits?"
The middle-aged man said: "We have already answered it just now, and the answer this time is still the same. It costs 200 New Zealand dollars to sing a song. Together, we can earn 15,000 to 20,000 yuan a month."
"So little?" Wang Bo asked in surprise. There were four of them, so the average money they could get per month was only 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. For their voices, this money was really not much.
To his question, the four of them did not answer. Only the middle-aged man spread his hands and made a gesture of "I am telling the truth, believe it or not."
Wang Bo didn't care about their attitude. He smiled and said: "Then how much money do you have left now? You know that, right? Someone will definitely prosecute you in court. If no one is willing to bail you, then you You have to prepare a large amount of compensation.”
In New Zealand infringement cases, the cost of going to court is very small and there is no cost. Just sue.
But going to court requires lawyers, and lawyers’ fees are very expensive. In many infringement cases, the compensation claimed is not enough to pay the lawyer’s fees. Therefore, according to common sense, once an intellectual property infringement case goes to court, the amount of the claim will be Not too small.
It's hard to say how much the fine will be. The judge will make a determination based on the 'infringement' and 'consequences', which can be up to 150,000 New Zealand dollars. In addition, the court's punishment of the infringer is sometimes not a simple punishment. If the infringement is very serious, the judge can sentence the infringer to imprisonment, with a maximum term of five years!
After listening to Wang Bo's words, the four people in the car fell silent. The young man who was about to get angry just now looked extremely aggrieved. He kicked the car twice angrily and said angrily: "Hey, officer, what do you want to say? Just tell me straight, don’t talk too much here! If you want to know who the owner of this factory is, I’m sorry we don’t know! We really don’t know!”
Wang Bo shrugged and said: "I don't care who the owner of this factory is. Guys, I'm here to tell you that if those records are your voices, if you are willing to work for my bar, then I can work for you." Pay bail.”
Hearing this again, the four people looked at him with wide eyes and asked almost in unison: "What?" "Are you willing to pay bail?" "Are you kidding?"
Wang Bo said calmly: "I'm not kidding, yes, I can pay the bail for you, but there are conditions. You must work for me..."
"You also have an underground factory?" someone asked in shock.
The middle-aged man pushed him and said dissatisfied: "Are your ears just for decoration? The police officer said that he invited us to sing in his bar, right police officer?"
Wang Bo nodded and smiled: "Yes, not everyone does illegal business. My business is legal. If you are willing to accept my bail, you must work for my bar. I will not bully you. The working years are as per In terms of bail, you can get up to 20,000 yuan a month here, right? Then I will calculate it as 20,000 yuan. How many times the bail is 20,000 yuan, and how many months have you worked for me. Of course, I will pay you a salary and ensure that your income is much higher than now."
The yellow-haired young man Reddy shook his head and said: "No, this is not fair. The price for us singing here is very low. That's because we can record records, so we are willing to work at a low price. In fact, we are also somewhat famous... "
"I can also record records for you, and it's not piracy. As long as you can write your own songs, I can pay a record company to produce records for you." Wang Bo interrupted him.
This condition was obviously very tempting to the four young men. Reddy was the first to shout: "Then why are you hesitating? Just do it!"
The middle-aged man was obviously more stable. He asked cautiously: "Mr. Police Officer, aren't you worried that we won't perform the contract after we are released on bail? Or, even if we went to your bar, we didn't sing seriously, aren't you worried? ?”
Wang Bo smiled kindly and said: "No, I'm not worried. I bet that as long as you sign the contract, you won't dare to do this. I'm confident that you won't dare."
Although his smile was very kind, after seeing it, the four of them couldn't help but shudder... (.)
