Chapter 66 Choice

The meeting that day did not make any progress, and finally had to end hastily.After the meeting, Chen Yuanming found Liang Weiguo and got all the information collected by Feiyan from him, including the background and strength of the two companies, the biographies of the two founders, information about domestic anti-infringement cases, and even three provinces. The city leaders' backgrounds, personal preferences, style, and other related materials are rich in content, which shows how much effort the legal department has put in for this matter.

But these were not finished. After handing over the work-related things to Chen Yuanming, Liang Weiguo picked up another stack of documents from the desk, which was three times thicker than the pile in Chen Yuanming's arms.After patting the cover of the topmost document, the elder spoke word by word.

"I also hope that you can look at these documents. They are examples of economic cases that I have encountered over the years. Some cases have indeed been resolved, while others have become death cases and unjust cases. There are still many deficiencies in construction, and this is not a problem that can be solved by faith alone. You have to study them carefully and thoroughly understand them before you can make a decision that you will not regret.”

As he spoke, the former professor took off his bulky black-rimmed glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Honestly speaking, I have experienced too much. In my old age, the profession of lawyers sees the dirtiest and ugliest things. It is inevitable that I will have dark thoughts and conservative behavior. People like me who are about to retire can completely I continued to be my own professor at school. The reason why I chose Feiyan to work was because I was moved by your fearless vigor and ideals. It reminded me of the naive persistence when I was admitted to Beijing University of Political Science and Law. A firm belief in the triumph of justice..."

"So..." The old man took back his glasses, and looked straight at the young man in front of him with his sharp eyes despite the vicissitudes of life, "Don't act hastily, and don't hesitate to move forward. Although there are some conflicts in the company now, it is not the most serious problem. I believe that these people’s starting point is not bad, and they will unite again. I have heard many people mention you. It can be said that this company was founded and formed because of you, and your opinion is even more important to them. .This is a difficult responsibility, but you are not the only one who bears it... Read more, think more, make decisions carefully, but don't be afraid, the whole Feiyan will become your strong backing and help you bear the burden."

These words are so earnest and heartfelt, and so heart-palpitating.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 started reading at night with the lights on. The materials were complicated, and the things hidden behind them were too sinister. How could he not be careful.And another stack of materials given by Mr. Liang is even more shocking. A bloody case recorded those heart-wrenching failures and grievances since the reform and opening up.Those who have no background, those who have the wrong relationship, those who have gone astray... They are all extremely successful businessmen, with a sharp vision and bold handwriting that can see through the times, but they lost everything, and some were murdered. Some of them were imprisoned for seizing property, and some even went to the execution ground, and never opened their eyes again.

Are they not smart enough?Are they not doing their part?Are they not smart enough?In fact, it is not, just those things that have been passed down for thousands of years, those thoughts that are still despised, ignored, and even reactionary in New China.Perhaps after the reform and opening up, there were no tragedies of Hu Xueyan and Shen Wansan, but the big and small incidents are still shocking. Those who should have been doing business in a down-to-earth manner chose not to be so correct, but they will definitely please Shangguan and keep their lives. The easy path to your own wealth.

These painful precedents are like a huge net, covering Chen Yuanming's sight. He knows that in the future, the situation will improve, these frustrating and angry things will gradually decrease, and the country will gradually move towards a benign state. The direction is moving forward, although slowly, but actually moving forward steadily.But he doesn't know the bottom line that this era can bear, whether what he grasps and steps on is stable and firm, instead of falling into the trap of the abyss.

Should he follow the route he originally envisioned, or heed the persuasion to give up some things, slow down, and even use his current network to negotiate privately and exert pressure and coercion.Which one is the path he should choose...

That night, Chen Yuanming suffered from insomnia, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to close his eyes for a long time.Fatigue and anxiety were like two heavy hammers, beating his body and stirring his mind.In a daze, he suddenly found himself back in Zhongguancun in his previous life. At that time, it was still in 2, and he had just saved enough money to set up a shop and do some computer assembly business.Opposite his door is a small shop selling pirated CDs, which is narrower than his own, but there is a continuous stream of people coming and going every day.

Having nothing to do that day, he curiously asked the store owner, "I see that some familiar faces come to your house often, and they buy a lot of discs every time. Can they finish watching?"

The shop owner laughed, "What are you looking at? Most of them are sold at the bottom of the box when they buy them back, right? It's just recommended in magazines and advertised on the Internet, making them want to buy them back home. Do you understand that this thing is called collection addiction? D5, d9, hardcover and simple, It’s clear which disc dealer has better quality, what you want is not to watch movies, but to enjoy and entertain yourself.”

"Isn't it a waste of money?"

"How can you call it an audiophile if you don't burn money? Anyway, it's not a genuine disc, how cheap is a pirated disc..."

Suddenly, Chen Yuanming jumped up from the bed, his head was buzzing, "How cheap...", "How cheap..."

What is the price difference between genuine and pirated copies? 1o blocks? 15 yuan?These enthusiasts would rather collect a lot of pirated copies that they don’t want to watch for the price difference of a few dollars, rather than spend a dime for the genuine ones. Isn’t this mentality ridiculous?Isn't it scary?However, such things do not only happen in the film and television industry. For these endless pirated copies, how many conscientious products and excellent companies have paid an incalculable price for it...

Is it cheap?No, it's pricey beyond measure.

After rubbing his face hard with his hands, Chen Yuanming got up from the bed, turned on the lamp on the desk, and began to write seriously.What he can do may not be enough and far-reaching enough, but he has to do it and let it destroy what he built and eagerly expects!

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, looked at the two groups of people who were still sitting in front of him, he didn't say anything, but sat firmly next to Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen.

Meng Lisheng's expression was a little haggard now, the anger seemed to have fermented and turned into a kind of helplessness called bitterness.After silently looking around for a week, he said, "Everyone probably knows the situation the company is facing now. How to deal with it needs to be voted by the board of directors. As a company legal person, I called all the managers who own the share capital and have enough attendance to hold this meeting. At the meeting, I hope that everyone can speak freely and come up with a consensus to pave the way for the company's future development."

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, this company is funded by you, and you set the direction for it, how about you Let’s talk about it first. Lao Yan and I both come from technical backgrounds, and dealing with commercial areas, especially this extremely complex domestic business environment, is really not our forte.”

Following these words, the eyes of the entire meeting room were cast on Chen Yuanming, there was trust and expectation in it, but there was also doubt, and even a hint of disappointment and doubt.Facing these gazes calmly, Chen Yuanming smiled slightly, and patted the stack of documents in his hand.

"Two days ago, Professor Liang also gave me such a stack of materials, even thicker than it. In those materials, there are many shocking cases, which can be summed up in two sentences: 'The people do not fight against the government. ', 'Power is stronger than others'. Those who do not believe in evil and those who are careless often fall on 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 a long way to go. The same is plagiarism, is there in the United States? Of course there is, just like the current Silicon Valley giant Microsoft, which is a well-known plagiarist. But the law will help those who have been plagiarized, plagiarized, and whose rights have been violated The company seeks justice. As far as I know, Microsoft has spent a lot of compensation on this, tens of millions, and hundreds of millions are common."

After a pause, he showed a wry smile, "But what about in China? Don't talk about plagiarism, even if you copy the whole thing, even if you copy the core technology, no one cares, no one cares, and there are even people who wave their flags and support and applaud." You think highly of you' and 'if it becomes popular, there should be imitations' have become the mainstream of society, and even the official consensus. In such a terrible atmosphere, no one is willing to engage in research and development, and no one dares to make original creations, because the cost is too high and the risks are too high It’s too high, imagine that you spent millions of dollars on R&D and put it into production, and others imitated or even improved it in minutes, who can compete with this kind of competition?”

"So after reading these materials, I came to two conclusions. In today's China, anti-piracy is indeed against the general trend, and it really ignores the official will. To fight against these two mountains is tantamount to the foolish old man moving the mountain and the fine health filling the The sea is an extremely stupid thing."

The faces of the few people present showed some complicated expressions, 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, and the sea will not dry up. If no one To dig, no one to fill, they will exist forever, blocking people's footsteps from generation to generation, making them deterred and fearful. This is not in line with China's development needs, and even said that this cowardice will greatly hinder Our footsteps will make the gap between us and the whole world bigger and bigger. No one will stop and wait for you, so someone must sacrifice, someone must be brave to try, and someone must be willing to fight for those who seem stupid To the extreme, there is no profit to be made, and I will do my best."

"Don't take this as a joke. Without this 'foolish old man's spirit', there would be no establishment of New China, no two bombs and one satellite, no reform and opening up. Let this country grow from scratch, from Sovereignty has been reduced to poverty and nothingness, and the five permanent members of the Security Council have been fed and clothed. It is this stupid spirit. Our ancestors have implemented it in every possible way. As a new generation of successors, how can we let our predecessors be more beautiful than before?"

As he said that, Chen Yuanming smiled, sincerely and with a slightly teasing smile, "And to be honest, as a competent upstart, as a qualified newborn calf, I really want to try this dragon's pond and tiger's den. It doesn't matter if I fail , I'm still young, and I still have a chance to start over. I'm still very rich, with property bigger than the entire Feiyan Factory, and those connections that many people can't match. With such unique conditions, why should I Retreat, why should you give up, just because of that sea, that mountain?"

Facing the conference room full of silence, Chen Yuanming paused for a moment, and spread out the documents in front of him, "Therefore, I solemnly declare here that I will take out 5% of my shares in Feiyan and 3 million in cash to establish A foundation, as the bridgehead of China's anti-piracy cause, has come to fight against those disgusting 'normal' and 'general trends'. As for this infringement case, as one of the directors of the company, I will also vote for the fight to the end. This is not only about the fate of Feiyan's family, but also the foundation of the entire Chinese film industry, as well as the overall situation of China's global development strategy in the next 1 and 5 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, trembling but full of vitality. Meng Lisheng clenched his fists, suppressing the trembling from his body, and asked softly, "Then what are you going to do? Target those senior officials." , could it be the Xiao family..."

In this office, the person who knows the relationship between Chen Yuanming and the Xiao family best is Meng Lisheng. If they climb this thick leg, they may not be without advantages...

However, Chen Yuanming shook his head, "I completely agree with you, Lao Meng, that this is an economic dispute, and it should not be reduced to a political weight. What we need to do now is not to cater or speculate, but It is dignified to bring the battlefield back to the economic and legal level. Although we are single, we are not without allies, are we?"

Lin Xuewen, who was sitting in the distance, suddenly let out a chuckle, "Are you really going to do it? Really?"

"Revolution is not a dinner party, of course it has to be real." With a faint smile, Chen Yuanming distributed the stack of materials that had been under his hand to everyone present, "This is just an immature idea, still We need everyone to brainstorm and seek a more reasonable arrangement. I believe in the wisdom and courage of everyone here. This will be a truly tough battle, but we are not completely hopeless..."

Yan Qiaosen, who was closest to Chen Yuanming, took the lead in opening the not-so-thick stack of materials, and saw that there were neatly arranged plans and opinions, and the top one had a name written in bold type two.
