"Producing pirated goods?!"
When Wang Zhongyun heard this accusation, he was a little confused.
"Comrade police, you are wronged! Did you make a mistake? When did I produce any pirated goods?"
Wang Zhongyun never thinks that making stickers can be illegal. He just thinks that everyone is doing this kind of thing, and whoever does it makes money. What's more, he just used some photos of celebrities or cartoon images. This is What's so illegal
Those celebrities make so much money a year. What's wrong with taking a ride with them to make some extra money? What is the problem
Besides, there are so many things with celebrity photos printed on them, and I have never heard anyone say that this is illegal, and I have never seen anyone arrested by the police. Why should I be arrested by the police when I come here
The policeman immediately reprimanded: "Don't call me a grievance. You produce hundreds of thousands of stickers a day. Don't you know how?"
Wang Zhongyun said hurriedly: "Comrade the police are unjust! I am really more unjust than Dou E. I have never produced any stickers. I am just a second-rate dealer who resells raw materials."
"Stop pretending to be like me!" the policeman scolded: "You have a total of five sticker production workshops, and you think we don't know about it? We have already investigated them all before arresting you."
Wang Zhongyun was so frightened that he trembled all over.
The police have already investigated the affairs of the five workshops
Could it be that that bastard from Sun Zhongbu told the police everything about himself
However, he is just producing some inconspicuous stickers. As for such a big battle to arrest him
What crime have you committed
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongyun was even more incomprehensible.
In his opinion, the only time he broke the law was tax evasion.
Because he has never registered a company in the years since he opened the factory, he has never paid a penny in taxes. Someone told him that if the tax authorities find him, he may be required to pay back the taxes owed over the years or be sentenced. In the past few years, he was somewhat worried. After all, a well-known actress was caught evading taxes two years ago.
Because he was worried about being held accountable for taxation, Wang Zhongyun dispersed his factories and did not dare to expand on a large scale. Once the scale grew, small workshops could no longer hide and would be easily targeted by the industrial and commercial tax.
When the time comes to discover that a factory as big as yours has no registered enterprise, let alone any qualifications, you will be in big trouble.
However, it is very safe to hide in a workshop. There are only 8,000 or less workshops like this in Yiwu. I have never heard of a few workshops being investigated and punished.
However, Wang Zhongyun couldn't figure it out. They had always been in peace with each other, so why did he get arrested today
Moreover, he has also heard about people who were caught for tax evasion. Generally, the industrial and commercial tax authorities come to investigate first. It is not like arresting a murderer, and the public security organs just tie him up, right
Several police officers had already escorted Wang Zhongyun out of Sun Zhongbu's villa.
Two police cars suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and several policemen pushed him into the back of one of the police cars. Two policemen on the left and right escorted him, and they quickly rushed to the Public Security Bureau.
Wang Zhongyun was sitting in the police car, feeling more and more uneasy. He couldn't help but ask a policeman next to him: "Boss, what's wrong with the stickers I made? Those are just things for children to play with. What's the big deal? Is that a big deal?" Arrest me?"
The policeman glanced at him and asked, "What kind of stickers are you producing?"
Wang Zhongyun said hurriedly: "It's a self-adhesive sticker, a color-printed sticker with a film coating."
The policeman said coldly: "I didn't ask you about the production process, I asked about what you printed on the sticker."
Wang Zhongyun said: "Aren't they just posters of a few celebrities, and that bear that is very popular on the Internet recently, Panda Bear."
The police asked him: "How many panda bear stickers do you produce in a day?"
Wang Zhongyun said: "Panda Bear sells relatively well, so recently the main focus has been on producing this, but it is just a cartoon image. How big a sin can this be?"
The policeman sneered and said, "It's a big crime. When you produce stickers of panda bears, have you asked the copyright company of panda bears for authorization?"
Wang Zhongyun said: "Isn't this thing just a picture? What kind of authorization do I need?"
The police asked him, "Would you be happy if someone printed your photo on a sticker and sold it everywhere?"
Wang Zhongyun was a little speechless, and after a while he said: "I'm just an ordinary person, who would use me to make stickers? Even if someone does it, no one will buy it!"
The policeman asked again: "What about your son or your daughter? What if someone prints your son or daughter on stickers and sells them?"
Wang Zhongyun was speechless when he was asked this question.
The policeman added: "You use other people's copyrights to make money without the permission of the copyright holder. This is an infringement in itself, and your illegal gains are huge. This is a violation of the criminal law."
Wang Zhongyun immediately said with a sad face: "The police informed us that everyone is making panda and bear stickers, and I am not the only one in Yiwu. As far as I know, there are more than ten companies that produce panda and bear stickers, and there are so many more If I print panda bears on other products, I am not the only one infringing the copyright."
The police said: "Don't worry. From now on, if any of your colleagues and friends infringe on Panda Bear's copyright, we will not let them go. If you want to be punished and meritorious service, wait until you get to the police station and we will take care of you." List all the people who have infringed Panda Bear’s copyright. If you catch one of them, even if you have made a meritorious service, if you catch too many, you will be able to seek a lighter sentence in the future.”
…
When Wang Zhongyun was brought to the district bureau, the entire lobby on the first floor of the district bureau was already overcrowded.
All the police officers were busy, with various handcuffed suspects being brought in and out, as well as in and out of various interrogation rooms and detention rooms.
As soon as Wang Zhongyun was led in by two policemen, he felt as if he was in a train station waiting hall. When he looked carefully, he realized that many acquaintances had been arrested like him.
Someone saw Wang Zhongyun and greeted him with a sad face: "Old Wang, you have come in too..."
Wang Zhongyun nodded in panic and embarrassment. He wanted to say something, but he was already taken into the detention room by the police.
After temporarily confiscating his cell phone and other personal belongings, the police sent Wang Zhongyun to one of the detention rooms.
The detention room was even more overcrowded. There were more than twenty suspects detained in the small room, and at least half of the people in it looked very familiar to Wang Zhongyun.
He has basically seen these people in the small commodity market. Some are wholesalers and some are suppliers.
After the police put him in the detention center, they said: "Stay here honestly, reflect on the problem, and think about clues that can lead to meritorious deeds. Don't cause trouble. When the interrogation room is free, I will take you to record a statement."
Wang Zhongyun's face turned pale with fright.
After the police left, someone immediately recognized him and said, "Oh, you are Lao Wang, the poster artist, right?"
Wang Zhongyun said: "Just call me Lao Wang, don't bring that."
The other party said: "Are you still concerned about this at this time? Do you know what's going on with you?"
Wang Zhongyun asked hurriedly: "What's the situation? I just wanted to ask you, why did the police arrest you? What happened?"
The other party said: "Instead of getting into things related to panda bears, my factory produced a batch of panda bear schoolbags. The police arrested me just two days after they were released."
When Wang Zhongyun heard that it was a panda bear again, he immediately asked: "What on earth is going on? Are we breaking the law by making panda bears?"
"You still have to ask?" A middle-aged man interjected: "Now Makino Technology personally cooperates with the local public security bureau and industrial and commercial tax to crack down on infringement. The intensity is very strong. I only sold hundreds of Panda Bear pencil cases, and they all cost me Caught in."
As he said that, the man asked Wang Zhongyun: "Old Wang, the amount of money involved in your case must be several hundred thousand, right?"
Before Wang Zhongyun could speak, someone else spoke: "Lao Wang has to produce more than 100,000 stickers a day. Calculated at a retail price of one yuan, the amount involved in the case is really tens of millions."
"Mom!" Someone sighed: "Old Wang, you are in trouble this time. I guess you will spend at least five or six years in jail."
"What?!" Wang Zhongyun exclaimed and said, "Just by producing a few stickers, can I be sentenced to five or six years of squatting?"
The man smiled and said: "Five or six years are considered light. You have a large number of products and a large amount of money involved. I will definitely give you a sentence of eight or ten years if the amount involved is particularly huge and the impact is particularly bad." Not surprisingly."
"Why!" Wang Zhongyun blurted out anxiously: "Why should you sentence me to ten or eight years?"
The man said: "Just because the boss of Makino Technology is Li Mu, I heard that Li Mu has allocated hundreds of millions of yuan in rights protection funds this time specifically to fight lawsuits. When the time comes, not only will the procuratorate prosecute, but Makino Technology will also A civil lawsuit will be filed to demand compensation, and it is very likely that all illegal gains will be confiscated.”
When Wang Zhongyun heard this, he almost collapsed. He looked at the people around him desperately, hoping that someone could tell him that what the person just said was all alarmist.
However, at this time, someone said: "Old Wang, your sticker business is very famous in the entire small commodity market. Everyone knows that you have made hundreds of millions by relying on stickers. Not only piracy, but also operating without a license and tax evasion." Tax evasion, I don’t know how many people want to report you now to make meritorious deeds, you really have to be careful this time.”
The man just now also said: "Old Wang, the big tree attracts the wind, I'm afraid you will be in trouble this time."
As he spoke, he sighed happily: "Fortunately, I only sold some keychains. I only sold a thousand keychains in total. The amount involved was not even 5,000. It was probably just two days of detention and a small fine." matter."
Wang Zhongyun only has one thought now, hoping that his wife and children can run away as quickly as possible.
However, he doesn't know if his wife can receive the message. If not, it will be really troublesome...
