There was no progress in the meeting that day, and it had to end in haste. After the meeting, Chen Yuanming found Liang Weiguo and obtained all the information collected by Feiyan from him, including the background and strength of the two companies, the biographies of the two founders, information on domestic anti-infringement cases, and even the background of three provincial and municipal leaders. , personal preferences, style and style, etc. The relevant information is rich in content, which shows how much effort the legal department has made for this matter.
But these are not over yet. After handing over the work-related items to Chen Yuanming, Liang Weiguo picked up a stack of documents from his desk, three copies thicker than the stack in Chen Yuanming's arms. After patting the cover of the above information, the elder said word by word.
"I also hope that you can take a look at these documents. They are examples of economic cases that I have encountered over the years. Some of them have been resolved, but some of them have become fatal or unjust cases, and they will never be seen again. Our country's legal system construction There are a lot of deficiencies, and it’s not just beliefs that can solve problems. You have to study them carefully and understand them before you can make decisions that you won’t regret.”
Having said that, the former professor took off his cumbersome black-rimmed glasses and rubbed his eyes. "To be honest, I have experienced too much. When I am old, the lawyers will see things as dirty and ugly, so I will inevitably have dark thoughts and conservative behavior. I was going to retire. Wen Dang regards it as my own professor. The reason why I chose to work in Feiyan is precisely because of your fearless vigor and ideals. It reminds me of the innocence and perseverance when I was admitted to the Beijing University of Political Science and Law, and the firm belief that justice will prevail... "
"So..." The old man brought back his glasses, but he still had sharp eyes looking straight at the young man in front of him despite the vicissitudes of life, "Don't act hastily, and don't hold back. Although there are some contradictions in the company, it is not a serious problem. I believe that these people are out of It's not bad at all, and they will unite again. I have heard a lot of people mentioning you. It can be said that this company started and became because of you, and your opinion is more important to them. This is a daunting responsibility. But it's not just you who is responsible for it... See more, think more, and make prudent decisions, but don't be afraid, the whole Feiyan will be your strong backing and help you bear the burden."
How serious and heartfelt are these words, and how heart-pounding. Chen Yuanming took a deep breath, looked back at the old man's bloodshot eyes, and solemnly replied, "Thank you, Professor Liang, I will try my best."
That night, Chen Yuanming began to read at night with the lights on. The materials were complicated, and the things hidden behind him were too sinister. How could he not be careful. It was even more shocking that Liang Lao gave another pile of information. A bloody case recorded the heart-wrenching failures and grievances since the reform and opening up. Those who have no background, those who are in the wrong relationship, those who have gone astray with one thought... They are all extremely successful businessmen, with sharp eyes and bold skills that can see through the times, but they have lost everything, some have their family property stolen, and some have been kidnapped. He was imprisoned, and some even went to the law field, but he never opened his eyes again.
Are they not smart enough? Are they not enough? Are they smart enough? Actually it's not, it's just that those things that have been passed down for thousands of years, those China are still despised, ignored, and even reactionary thinking. Maybe there will be no Hu Xueyan and Shen Wansan tragedies after the reform and opening up, but the incidents, big and small, are still shocking, making the choices of businessmen who should be down-to-earth not so correct, but they can definitely win the favor of Shangguan and keep their wealth. Simple way .
These painful precedents are like a giant net, which catches Chen Yuanming's sight. He knows that in the future, the situation will improve, and these depressing and angering things will gradually decrease, and the country will move in a benign direction little by little, although slowly , but steadily moving forward. But he didn't know whether he could withstand the bottom line in this era, whether he was holding on to his hands and stepping on his feet, whether it was firm and firm, rather than falling into the abyss trap.
Should he move forward along the route he originally envisaged, or obey the persuasion to give up something, slow down a bit, or even use the network at hand to negotiate privately and exert pressure and coercion. Which is the path he should choose...
That night, Chen Yuanming had insomnia, tossing and turning in bed, unable to close his eyes for a long time. Exhaustion and anxiety were like two heavy hammers, hitting his body and stirring his mind. In a daze, he suddenly found himself back in his previous life, Zhongguancun. It was 23 years ago. He had just saved enough money to buy a shop and do some computer assembly business. Right across from him is a small shop selling pirated CDs, which is even narrower than his own storefront, but there are always people coming and going every day.
When he had nothing to do that day, he curiously asked the store owner, "I see a lot of familiar faces who come to your house often. They buy a lot of discs every time. Have they finished watching them?"
The shop owner laughed, "What are you looking at? Most of the time you buy it, you just put it in the bottom of the box, right? It's just recommended in magazines and publicized on the Internet to make them want to buy it home. Do you know this is a collector's habit? d5, d9, hardcover and paperback, Anyone with good quality discs is known to everyone, if it’s not for watching movies, it’s for enjoyment and recreation.”
"Isn't it a waste of money?"
"How can you be called a fan if you don't burn money? It's not a genuine disc anyway, how cheap are pirated copies..."
Suddenly, Chen Yuanming bounced off the bed, buzzing in his head, "How cheap...", "How cheap..."
What is the difference between the price of genuine and pirated copies? 1 block? 15 yuan? These enthusiasts would rather collect a lot of pirated copies for the difference of these few dollars, and do not want to spend a dime for the genuine copy. Isn't this mentality not funny? Not scary? However, this kind of thing is not only in the film and television industry, but how many conscientious products and excellent companies have paid an incalculable price for these endless piracy...
Is it cheap? No, it's simply immeasurably expensive.
Rubbing his face with his hands, Chen Yuanming got up from the bed, turned on the lamp on the desk, and wrote seriously. He may not be able to do enough, not far enough, but he has to do it, and let it destroy what he has built and eagerly hoped for!
Two days later, the company's high-level meeting was held again. This time, not only the core executives, but also Fei Anheng of the public relations department and Sun Zhiqiang of the sales department also attended the meeting.
Holding a stack of documents, Chen Yuanming walked into the conference room and looked at the two groups of people who were still sitting in front of him. He didn't say anything, but just sat firmly beside Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen.
Meng Lisheng's expression is now a little haggard, and the anger seems to have fermented and turned into a kind of bitterness and helplessness. After looking around silently for a week, he opened his mouth and said, "Everyone may know the current situation the company is facing. How to deal with it requires a unified vote by the board of directors. As a legal person of the company, I convened all the management personnel who have share capital and are enough to attend the plenary meeting. I hope everyone can speak freely and come up with a consensus to pave the way for the company to come down."
After saying this, he turned his attention to Chen Yuanming, who was sitting beside him, and showed a smile that could not be called a smile, "Yuanming, you invested in this company, and you set the direction for it, or you should say it first. Let’s see. Lao Yan and I are both technical backgrounds, and dealing with business, especially this extremely complex domestic business environment, is really not our forte.”
Following these words, the entire conference room turned to Chen Yuanming, there was trust and hope, but there was also doubt, and even a hint of disappointment and doubt. Facing these gazes calmly, Chen Yuanming smiled slightly and clapped the stack of documents on his hands.
"Two days ago, Professor Liang also gave me such a stack of materials, which was even a little thicker than it. There are many shocking cases in those materials, which can only be summed up in two sentences: 'people don't fight against officials', 'Potential is stronger than people'. Those who do not believe in evil and those who are careless are often planted in these two points. As Mr. Liang said, there is still a long, long way to go in the construction of our country's legal system. Does plagiarism exist in the United States? Of course there is. Just like the current Silicon Valley giant Microsoft, everyone is known to be a big plagiarist. But the law will help those companies that have been plagiarized, plagiarized, or violated their rights to seek justice. As far as I know, Microsoft also spends a lot of money on compensation, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions are common."
After a pause, he showed a wry smile, "But what about China? Don't talk about plagiarism, even if you copy it completely, even if you copy the core technology, no one cares, no one cares, and there are even people who are hyping it up and cheering.' Copy you It’s because you look down on you” and “If you are popular, there should be imitations” has become the mainstream of society, and even the official consensus. In such a terrible atmosphere, no one is willing to do research, and no one dares to do original creation, because the cost is too high, the risk is too high, Just imagine that you have spent millions to develop and put into production, and others can imitate or even improve it in minutes. Who can beat this kind of competition?"
"So after reading these materials, I came to two conclusions. Today, anti-piracy in China is indeed against the general trend, and it is indeed disregarding the official will. To fight against these two mountains is tantamount to the foolish man moving mountains and Jingwei reclaiming the sea. It's an utterly stupid thing."
Several people in the field showed complex expressions, and some people hesitated to speak, but Chen Yuanming did not give them a chance to interrupt, and continued to say calmly, "However, the mountains will not move, the sea will not dry up, if no one digs, there is no If people fill it, they will exist forever, blocking people's footsteps from generation to generation, making them shy and terrified. This does not meet the needs of China's exhibition. It is even said that this kind of cowardice will greatly hinder our footsteps and make us The gap with the whole world is getting bigger and bigger and farther and farther. No one will stop and wait for you, so there must be sacrifices, the courage to try, and the willingness to do things that seem stupid and have no profit. Bow down."
"Don't take it as a joke, without this 'foolish spirit', China would not have been established, there would have been no two bombs and one star, and there would have been no reform and opening up. Let this country grow from nothing and lose its sovereignty. This is the spirit of ignorance and ignorance in the initial provision of food and clothing to the five permanent members of the Security Council. Our ancestors have done it all. As a generation of successors, how can we let our predecessors specialize in beauty?"
As he said that, Chen Yuanming smiled, and smiled with sincerity, "And to be honest, as a competent upstart, as a qualified newborn calf, I really want to try this Longtan Tiger's Den. Even if I fail, it doesn't matter, I still Young, I still have the opportunity to come back, I am still rich, and have a huge wealth than the entire Feiyan Factory, and those connections that make many people unable to reach. With such unique conditions, why should I retreat, why should I give up, Just because of that sea, that mountain?"
Facing the quiet conference room, Chen Yuanming paused for a moment and spread out the documents in front of him, "Therefore, I hereby solemnly announce that I will use 5% of my Feiyan shares and 30 million in cash to establish a foundation, As a bridgehead for China's anti-piracy cause, I will fight against the disgusting 'normal' and 'general trend'. As for this infringement case, as one of the directors of the company, I will also vote to support the fight to the end. This is not just about Feiyan's family. Destiny is also the foundation of the entire Chinese film industry, as well as the overall strategy of China's global exhibition in the next one and five years. This step is already the bottom line, and we must not take half a step back!"
After a while, a voice came from the side, a little trembling, but full of vitality, Meng Lisheng clenched his fists, suppressed the trembling from his body, and asked softly, "Then what are you going to do? For those high-ranking officials, is it It’s the Xiao family…”
In this office, it is Meng Lisheng who understands the relationship between Chen Yuanming and the Xiao family. If they climb this thick leg, they may not have no advantage...
However, Chen Yuanming shook his head, "I completely agree with you, Lao Meng, on one point. This is an economic dispute, and it shouldn't be reduced to a political weight. What we need to do now is not to cater to or speculate, but to treat it with dignity. The battlefield pulls back the economy and the legal level. Although we are weak, we are not without allies, are we?"
Sitting in the distance, Lin Xuewen suddenly let out a chuckle, "Are you really ready to do it? Come on for real?"
"Revolution is not a dinner party, of course it has to be real." With a faint smile, Chen Yuanming distributed the pile of materials he had been pressing on to the crowd, "This is just an immature idea, and we still need everyone to brainstorm and seek reasonable solutions. Arrangement, I believe in the wisdom and courage of all of you, this will be a real tough battle, but we are not without a chance of winning..."
Yan Qiaosen, who was close to Chen Yuanming, took the lead in opening the stack of documents, which was not too thick, and saw that there was a neatly arranged plan and opinion, and the upper one had a name written in bold type two.
