Royal Road - Chapter 143

[Chapter 142 City.]

With a snap, a pirated CD was thrown on the conference table. On it was an indistinct color cover with “Star Wars” written in large letters. It seemed to be the cover of a transfer tape, which looked cheap and rough.

It’s just that the genuine video discs that they authorized agents have not yet come on the market, and these pirated versions have already occupied the market…

Is this battle to be fought or not to be fought, how to fight, and how to win?

If you give up this front, pirated CDs will immediately destroy the foundation they have built so hard. Since there are cheap CDs, why not buy them? Since your CD player can’t read them, why not buy others?

This kind of simple and straightforward thinking of the common people is how to destroy an industry and drag several related industries down the quagmire together.

Who was the last to eat fat?

Who benefits?

Who was damaged and annihilated?

But if they fight this battle, they may face not only those pirates, but also government departments that show their arrogance for the local economy, and well-known companies that are relentless for corporate profits. This is a real battle against the enemy. It may cause the company to bleed heavily, and even the dragon pool of the tiger’s den of collapse.

Which is more important and which is lighter, where should we go?

At this time, after finally plucking things from the garbage mountain, Lin Xuewen also walked back and threw the pirated CD in his hand on the table.

“I have to say, this group of people has really good eyesight. Look at this…” Lin Xuewen held up a few of them, “Kurozawa Akira, Kubrick, Oliver Stone… I used to be only in a small circle. I’ve heard of their names here. I don’t know how much it would cost and how much time it would take to import them, but pirated copies are different. I can’t help but want to buy these discs, not to mention the common people. Let’s take a

look…”

Several DVDs were thrown on the table, “Rashomon”, “A Clockwork Orange”, “Field Platoon”… It is indeed a classic, and it is indeed difficult to introduce, what Lin Xuewen said Not a single sentence was a lie, but the eyes of everyone looking at him were full of unspeakable tastes.

“I said at the beginning that it is too difficult and time consuming to run a national enterprise in today’s China. The things you insist on are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the public. Lida and Jinke are the ones that really like it. I can’t fight the basics, and I can’t fight the policy support, and now even the background background is worrying…”

Sitting back in the sofa chair, Lin Xuewen fiddled with the pirated CDs with his fingers, “Of course, according to our original plan In the case, Feiyan still has the strength to fight in the first battle, and also has preliminary allies and friendly forces, but if you really tear your face and start a lawsuit, you must win the victory in one go. If you fail, it will be a devastating blow. You fight against it. It is the inferiority that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is an unmeasurable general trend. This will be a real tough battle.”

“The head-on conflict is not without a chance of winning. In the end, the company is still yours, and the decision-making power is still yours. In hand. Just, recognize the facts, and then make a decision.”

An ordinary sentence even brought out a little curiosity of bystanders.

Standing in the middle of this clear-cut conference room, Chen Yuanming looked at the two sides, but was unable to speak for a long time.

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 groggy state, he suddenly found himself back in Zhongguancun in his previous life. It was in 2003. He had just saved enough money to buy a shop and do some computer assembly business.

Across the door 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 asked the store owner curiously, “I see a lot of familiar faces who come to your house often. Every time they buy a lot of discs, have they finished reading it?” The

store owner laughed, ” What are you looking at, most of them will be put in the bottom of the box when they are bought back, right? It’s just recommended in magazines and promoted on the Internet to make them want to buy them home. Do you understand this thing is a collector? The quality is better and everyone is clear, what they want is not to watch movies, but to enjoy, and to have fun.”

“So spending money isn’t a waste?”

“How can you be called an audiophile 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, his head buzzing, “How cheap…”, ” How cheap…”

What is the difference between the price of genuine and pirated copies?

10 bucks?

15 yuan?

These enthusiasts would rather collect a lot of pirated copies for the difference of a few dollars, rather than spend a dime for the genuine version. Isn’t this kind of mentality ridiculous?

Not scary?

However, this kind of thing does not only happen in the film and television industry. For these endless piracy, how many conscientious products and excellent companies have paid an incalculable price for this…

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 longed for!

Two days later, the company’s high-level meeting was held again. This time, not only the core executives, but also Fei Anheng from the public relations department and Sun Zhiqiang from 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 sat firmly beside Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen.

Meng Lisheng’s expression was even more haggard now, and the anger seemed to have fermented and turned into a kind of helplessness called bitterness.

After looking around silently for a week, he said, “Everyone may know the situation the company is facing now. How to deal with it requires a unified vote of the board of directors. As a legal person of the company, I convene all managers who have share capital and are enough to attend the meeting. At the meeting, I hope everyone can speak freely, come up with a consensus, and pave the way for the development of the company.”

After saying this, he turned his attention to Chen Yuanming, who was sitting next to him, showing a smile that could not be called a smile, “Yuan Ming, you invested in this company, and you set the direction for it. Why don’t you talk about it first? Lao Yan and I are both technically educated, dealing with business fields, especially such extremely complex domestic business. The environment is really not our forte.”

Following this sentence, the eyes of the entire conference room were cast on 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 bit thicker. In those materials, there are many shocking cases, which can be summed up in two sentences: ‘The people don’t fight against the officials. ‘, ‘Strength 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, our country still has a long way to go in the construction of the legal system. There is still a long way to go. The same is plagiarism, does the United States have it? Of course, like the current Silicon Valley giant Microsoft, it is a well-known plagiarism. But the law will help those who have been plagiarized, plagiarized, and violated their rights. The company seeks justice. As far as I know, Microsoft has spent a lot of money in compensation, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions are common.”

After a pause, he showed a wry smile, “But what about China? Not to mention plagiarism, even if it is completely copied, even if the core technology is copied, no one cares, no one cares, and some people even brag and cheer. It has become the mainstream of society, or even the official consensus. In such a terrible atmosphere, no one is willing to engage in research and development, and no one dares to carry out original creation, because the cost is too high, the risk is too high, imagine you spend millions of R & D and put it into production, others minutes Just imitating or even improving it, who can beat this kind of competition?”

“So after reading these materials, I came to two conclusions. In today’s China, anti-piracy really goes against the general trend, it really ignores the official will, and wants to Fighting against these two mountains is tantamount to the foolish man moving the mountain and Jingwei reclaiming the sea, and it is an extremely stupid thing.”

Several people present showed complex expressions on their faces, and some people hesitated to speak, but Chen Yuanming did not give them a chance to interject, and continued to say calmly, “However, the mountains will not move, the sea will not dry up, if no one If you dig, no one will fill it, they will exist forever, blocking people’s footsteps for generations, making them shy and terrified. This does not meet the needs of China’s development, and it is even said that this kind of cowardice will greatly hinder Our footsteps will make us bigger and farther and farther away from the whole world. No one will stop and wait for you, so there must be sacrifices, the courage to try, and the willingness of those who seem stupid To the extreme, do everything you can for things that are not profitable.”

“Don’t take it as a joke, without this kind of ‘Yugong spirit’, there would be no new China, there would be no two bombs and one star, there would be no Reform and opening up. It is such a foolish spirit that made this country grow from nothing, from the loss of sovereignty and poverty to the initial provision of food and clothing for the five permanent members of the Security Council. Our ancestors implemented it earnestly. As a new generation of successors, how can we let our predecessors specialize in beauty Before?”

After speaking, Chen Yuanming smiled, with a sincere and slightly mocking smile, “And to be honest, as a competent upstart, as a qualified newborn calf, I really want to try this Longtan Tiger Cave. It doesn’t matter if I fail, I’m still young, and I still have a chance to start over. I’m still rich, with a fortune bigger than the entire Feiyan Factory, and those connections that many people can’t reach. With such unique conditions , why should I retreat, why should I give up, just because of that sea, that mountain?”
