Chapter 388: Causing a lawsuit
The appearance of Lu Yiming brought two major signals.
First, as the president, he is still the leader of the newspaper, and he can still grasp and intervene in the big and small things in the newspaper at the first time.
Second, it is not difficult to see from his tone that he is obviously on Chai Peng's side, and he even does not hesitate to turn his face with Dong Hua and other old guys for this reason!
Soon, Dong Hua and the others keenly received these signals, and immediately no longer dared to whisper.
But that doesn't stop them from complaining. These slanders were all listened to by Ma Fei with his mind exploration technique.
"What's wrong with the old road? Actually towards an outsider?"
"It seems that there is only one explanation - the surname Chai must have managed to get rid of Pang Dong, and Pang Dong put pressure on Lao Lu, so he protected him so much!"
"Could it be that because of this, Lao Lu can still ignore his feelings and fail to settle accounts with our guys?"
Everyone had no bottom in their hearts, and could only watch Lu Yiming's every move.
After opening the file bag in public, Lu Yiming took out a thick pile of materials and muttered: "Look at it, this is the complaint material I just received! The copyright company with which we intend to cooperate complains that we are indiscriminate, suspected of commercial fraud, and threatens to sue us in court for breach of contract!"
Speaking of this, he directly named Dong Hua: "Old Dong, ask yourself, if you cause a lawsuit to the newspaper because of this incident, is it worth it? Hehe, who can be responsible for losing this opportunity for cooperation and smashing the reputation of the newspaper's signboard? You tell me!"
Obviously, the intention of taking Dong Hua out for criticism alone is very obvious.
Dong Hua was not a human being inside and out, so he had to explain sneeringly: "This ...... It should be a system problem! It is open to reporters to upload pictures, and there is no specific standard, and it is really difficult to control the quality. ”
In desperation, he had no choice but to avoid the important and light, and put the responsibility on the feed system developed by the copyright company.
Lu Yiming sighed angrily: "We are all old comrades, I don't want to say anything ugly because of this kind of thing! Hmph, just one request - if you don't take it as an example, can you do it?"
In the face of pressure, Dong Hua subconsciously wanted to seek everyone's support, but in this situation, everyone was in danger, and who dared to come forward to block the gun?
In desperation, he had no choice but to nod with a dark face, and he bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Chai Peng and smiled: "Comrade Chai Peng, on the problem of controlling the quality of pictures, we will come up with a solution after we come down, and we must be flawless and seamless!"
Chai Peng withstood the pressure and finally looked forward to the president's support, but at this time he was not overjoyed, just nodded indifferently and accepted the task.
Ma Fei watched the whole process in his eyes and had some doubts in his heart.
First of all, Chai Peng's composure and calmness, he is really the same as in the past, is this because of his improved psychological quality, or is there another hidden reason?
Then Lu Yiming's means of bullet pressure did not take the opportunity to attack me, but directly approached Dong Hua, is this because he has returned to justice, or is it just because he is jealous of me and does not dare to rashly attack?
For Chai Peng, Ma Fei can't find out now, but Lu Yiming is not a problem.
Through the Mind Exploration Technique, he found that Lu Yiming was pondering a sentence in his heart at this time: "Remember, you have to have a bowl of water evenly, you can't favor one over the other, fall into the hands of others, and then cause trouble for yourself! If something happens again, I'm afraid even I won't be able to protect you!"
Obviously, most of this sentence came from Pang Yi's mouth, Lu Yiming took it to heart, and behaved so abnormally, it was only for the purpose of self-preservation.
But then again, the so-called bowl of water should not be the complete opposite of the past, turning the gun and attacking one's own people!
When Ma Fei was puzzled, Lu Yiming's next move quickly explained to him.
"Now let's look at the real lawsuit!" After shaking the audience, Lu Yiming pulled out another lawyer's letter, "This is a lawyer's letter from a picture copyright company in Beijing, accusing our newspaper of publishing their exclusive copyright pictures without permission!"
"Hehe, people are quite polite, they didn't say that they would go to court with us immediately, but gave two options - either pay copyright fees and compensation, or fight the lawsuit to the end!"
As he spoke, he picked up two more newspapers, pointed to the pictures on them and scolded them loudly: "I want to ask everyone here for an explanation, why are the pictures taken by the signed reporter being sued for infringement?"
Everyone looked at it and found that the two newspapers in his hand, without exception, had all been turned to the entertainment page.
The infringing pictures he identified were also photos of people taking portraits of celebrities at events.
Obviously, his question was to challenge Zou Xuan and Ma Fei's sports and entertainment department.
The sudden situation made Ma Fei wonder: It turns out that this is a bowl of water that he understands? In order to trouble me, he first had a bitter trick with Dong Hua and them, and it seems that he didn't deliberately target me?
While complaining, he conducted another round of investigation of Lu Yiming.
But through the mind probing technique, he didn't find anything unusual about this guy - the lawyer's letter was genuine, and the whole thing didn't seem to be deliberately planned by him.
If it weren't for that, with Lu Yiming's level of defense, he would inevitably show his feet at this time, but Ma Fei didn't find anything.
Was it really an accident? Which reporter poked the basket?
Ma Fei looked carefully at the two pages of the accident, and the manuscripts involved were still fresh in his memory, which were two event drafts two days ago, and the two stars attended a charity event and an awards party respectively, and the reporters in charge of the interview at that time were Cai Zhuoya.
According to the regulations of the newspaper, Cai Zhuoya specially prepared a camera, took a lot of photos at the scene, and finally screened some of them and handed them over to the editorial department.
Although Ma Fei did not monitor the whole process, he was also very clear, how could there be infringing pictures?
If something happened in his department, Zou Xuan, as the director, of course had to stand up and give an explanation.
But before she could get up, Ma Fei preemptively spoke: "President Lu, I reviewed and sent these two manuscripts, although I am not professional in terms of pictures, but I have also scanned them, as for why this kind of thing has not happened, I still need to come down and check." ”
On the facts, it not only showed the situation, but also did not shirk responsibility, and Ma Fei's performance was as stable as ever.
Lu Yiming immediately asked, "How are you going to check?"
"It's very simple, starting from the reporter's investigation, to see if there is a problem with her picture source, or if there is a mistake in the selection of pictures in the later stage!"
Although this is also a matter of facts, it has aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhao Shiyu, the head of the editorial team in the United States: "Ma Fei, what do you mean? Are you saying that we deliberately chose copyright pictures to frame you reporters?"
This woman is like eating explosives today, Ma Fei doesn't plan to distinguish with her, and said with a smile: "What are the facts, we still have to rely on evidence to speak, and it won't help us to quarrel here, right?"
Zhao Shiyu rolled her eyes, and Kong Wei also came forward to mediate.
Lu Yiming said: "Okay! Then I will give you three days to give the newspaper a satisfactory explanation! My request is very simple, whoever violates the rules shall be held responsible, and if compensation is involved, the responsible person shall bear full responsibility; if it leads to a lawsuit and has a negative impact on the reputation of the newspaper, all responsible persons will be dealt with severely and will not be tolerated!"
