Inside Oracle's office, California.

Larry Ellison, the founder of the world's second-richest tech company and Silicon Valley's richest, is looking at the computer seriously.

Of course, he is not very tech-savvy, and is mainly responsible for corporate strategy and "causing trouble" to maintain the stock price, but he is not working right now.

Ellison logged in, reading "I'm So Rich" intently.

Not long ago, Wozniak, the "good old man" of Silicon Valley, recommended this book to Ellison.

In the beginning, he was very resistant to reading books on the computer, which was a very "nerd" behavior.

Until one day, Ellison really couldn't find any new tricks to show off his wealth that could attract the attention of the American people.

"By revealing to the media that three feet more than Bill Gates' yacht could send Oracle's stock skyrocketing. ”

Ellison turned on the computer and said to himself, "I hope this book can have some novel ideas." ”

But just looking at the beginning, he was very disappointed.

The total amount of the will, only a billion dollars?

The protagonist's daily expenses are only tens of thousands of dollars?

However, the next various plots made him feel a little interesting.

People who once looked down on the protagonist, under the influence of money, compete to please?

This couldn't help but remind Ellison of his past.

He went to three universities but was never able to obtain a diploma, he applied for six companies, but he was fired within a month, and at the age of 32, even his wife divorced him and did not ask for alimony.

"Please, if you don't ask for alimony, I'll be satisfied. At that time, the wife was in front of the children, disdainfully speaking.

The ex-girlfriend he watched in the middle, in order to please the protagonist, did not hesitate to accompany the protagonist with other women to "play".

Well, Ellison admits that at this moment he was really substituted as the main character.

Looking at today's plot, he was angry again.

In order to give money to his adoptive father, the protagonist deliberately reveals where the money is hidden.

Unexpectedly, that bastard named Frank took the money and took it for granted!

"Just like my father, he gave me all the bills to pay. Ellison sighed, "But never to say, I'm his pride." ”

At this moment, his assistant walked in.

Belch...

This tall and long-legged assistant is mainly responsible for the needs of Ellison's "life", and does not help his career much.

"Mr. Ellison," the assistant said flatteringly, "what you often watch, it seems to involve plagiarism, and NBC is now live-streaming the trial." ”

Plagiarize?

Ellison looked at the computer screen and frowned.

He groaned and gestured for his assistant to turn on the TV.

"As we all know, the copyright protection of deceased authors is a very serious issue. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying that 'I'm Too Rich' is plagiarism. "The streamer's voice is very serious and gives a sense of trustworthiness.

"But for me personally, what does it make if the estate is $30 billion or $1 billion?"

Well?

Some time ago, NBC reported that this Wang gradually is about to be blown into Hemingway's successor?

Ellison picked up the remote control and amplified the sound, trying to hear what the professionals who were testifying would have to say.

"Great ones like Leo Tolstoy, and "The Adventures of Bracchino", like plagiarizing "Pinocchio". ”

"However, after being pointed out by the critics, he finally showed his talent to the fullest, and only then did he have such great books as "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace!"

"Hey!" Ellison scolded, "I can't hear what the expert is saying!"

Another example is Pushkin, in "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Goldfish" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "The Fisherman and His Wife" is highly similar and debunked, and then it really embarks on the road of originality. ”

"Finally, he became the 'father of literature' in Russia. ”

"So what will the king, who has achieved far more than the two of them at the same age, achieve when he corrects his mistakes?"

Hearing this, Ellison was shocked.

What was the speed of information transmission during the period of Leo Tolstoy and Pushkin?

Now, what is the speed at which information is spreading?

And use Russian and former Soviet Union writers to compare Wang Gradual?

NBC is going to completely cut off Wang's career as a writer!

At this time, on the TV screen, the evaluation of the expert opinion began to appear.

Ellison stared closely at the TV screen, trying to see if what he liked was plagiarism.

And then...

Well, interlaced like a mountain.

He really doesn't understand...

"Is it really plagiarism?" Ellison thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was some truth in what the announcer said.

There really doesn't really make much difference to how much the will amount is.

As for going and seeing that book "A Million Gift for the Winemaker"?

Please, that's it, how can I have so much time?

"The next time you see Wozniak, be sure to laugh at him. Ellison turned off the computer, "I actually recommended a plagiarized one to everyone." ”

"I am a fan of Mr. Wang's books, and I don't believe in his alleged plagiarism. The announcer's voice said, "But as a journalist, I will try to maintain a neutral stance, so please rest assured." ”

"Now it's up to the defense to submit the evidence, and based on past experience, it is likely to be a writer's manuscript. ”

"I will use the expertise I have to analyze the differences between the two works. ”

Writer's manuscript?

Ellison picked up the remote and prepared to turn off the TV.

That kind of thing, it's harder to understand than expert opinion.

After all, there is a final summary of the expert opinion!

Unexpectedly, what the judge and jury took out, and what appeared in front of the camera, was not a text, but a photo.

Huh?

I can see that.

Ellison put down the remote control and looked intently at the TV screen again.

"This is—" The announcer was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak.

At this time, the defendant's lawyer suddenly began to speak: "Dear Judge, my attorney cannot be directly present due to health reasons. ”

However, he will use a video tape to personally describe the creative process of "I am so rich". ”

"Considering my status as a well-known best-selling author, there is a certain value in having the images of him appear in person. ”

"However, because this is a live broadcast, we will temporarily grant NBC the right to broadcast the video. ”

At this time, NBC studio backstage.

Wood frowned as he looked at the courtroom scene.

It's not a writer's manuscript, but a photograph or videotape?

What's going on?

"Mr. Wood, we can't do the voiceover. The announcer turned his head and said, "We have the rights to the court trial, but we don't have the rights to the videotapes." ”

"If it's dubbed, it's suspected of infringement. ”

Wood thought for a moment, "Then, when necessary, just cut off the signal." ”

"Wow, that's not going to work. At this moment, Lyman walked in with two bailiffs.

"The live broadcast contract signed between NBC and Manhattan clearly requires a full live broadcast. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of please.

"As required by the contract," a bailiff pulled out a document, "the Manhattan District Court has oversight powers." ”
