Chapter 455: We Are the Porters of News
Looking at the distant Volvo, Liu Houzhong did not retract his gaze for a long time.
Now he is still in a state of shock, just now, he was still regretting that Lin Xiaojun and Li Hongmei did not become lawyers, and his heart was still a little dark.
But who would have thought ......
and that inconspicuous man, who turned out to be the famous teacher Wang Yewang.
I want to call Zeng Yuhang and tell them all the truth, so that they will be shocked, but after they know the true identities of these three people, will they blush for the bull they just bragged about.
Especially Zeng Yuhang, he even said in front of Lin Xiaojun that he knew some people and could call him if he needed help in the future.
I just don't know what kind of help Lin Xiaojun can provide if he really finds him.
I took out my phone, thought about it and put it away.
The next day, Wang Ye found a place and made an appointment to meet Li Hongmei.
Li Hongmei took out a hard drive and handed it to Wang Ye, "Mr. Wang, this is the electronic version of the certificate of BTC, if you need to sell it, these are the proofs." ”
Wang Ye was a little excited and asked, "How many BTC are there?"
Li Hongmei said: "300,000." ”
After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Mr. Wang, now this BTC is not recognized by many countries, and there may be investment risks. ”
As soon as Wang Ye heard 300,000, his eyes lit up with excitement, in a few years, these 300,000 BTC could bring him billions of benefits, and it was still in US dollars, which would be tens of billions in RMB.
"It's okay, less than a million dollars, even if it's a loss, then it's a joke. ”
"Uh......"
Spend a million dollars to play?
Is this how all rich people play?
Wang Ye said: "If you are also interested, you can also buy some and save them, maybe there will be surprises in the future." ”
Li Hongmei nodded, didn't take it seriously, took out a document, and handed it to Wang Ye.
"This is the Harry Potter publishing contract. ”
Wang Ye rummaged around a few times casually, all in English, but with his current level of English, there was no pressure.
"Tell me about it. ”
Li Hongmei said: "According to the details of the contract, we will pay all the publishing fees, and then they will provide sales channels and charge 20% of the sales as channel fees. ”
Wang Ye nodded, the 20% channel fee is not too much, it seems that Principal Wang's face is still quite big.
"And how are the sales going?"
Li Hongmei said: "I returned to China this time for this matter.
At first, the sales were not very good, but in the first few months, the sales suddenly exploded, and with my authorization, several editions have been expedited, and the total sales in country Y have reached 5 million copies, and the response has been very good, and many readers have called or written to the publishing company.
I brought all the letters back this time, and they were in this suitcase. ”
Wang Ye looked at the suitcase beside Li Hongmei, and was startled, with such a big box, how many letters were there.
Li Hongmei continued: "There are many fans who have mailed you a lot of gifts, some representative, I have mailed them back by courier, and I should be able to receive them in a few days, and I have asked the publishing company to handle the other food, and I can't bring it back." ”
Wang Ye grinned and said, "Are these fans so enthusiastic?"
Li Hongmei said: "A lot of fans call the publishing company, hoping that you can come over to hold a signing meeting, and the publishing company also means this, they say that they can unite fans and promote sales."
And their boss also offered to meet you. ”
"Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"
Wang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Don't open it for the time being, I can't be busy here in China." ”
So Li Hongmei wrote it down, and after remembering it, she continued: "The publishing company wants to get the global operation rights of this book, and I hope you can authorize it, and the contract is for me to bring back." ”
Wang Ye asked, "How is the operational capacity of this company?"
Li Hongmei said: "I have learned about this company and investigated some information. ”
As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of investigation materials and handed it to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye took a few looks, there was too much information, and he couldn't finish it for a while.
"So, I'll go back and take a good look at it, and I'll make a decision when I'm done. ”
After talking about business, Wang Ye said with a smile: "I actually came back this time, just rest for a while, walk around, see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, don't go out for a long time, and forget what your motherland is like." ”
Wang Ye said: "Don't worry about playing, the company will reimburse you for all expenses." ”
Li Hongmei responded with a smile: "Teacher Wang, you are not allowed to deceive people, I also told Xiaojun yesterday that I planned to go out for a walk together, and she also promised to see it, saying that she hadn't traveled for a long time." ”
Wang Yeleng paused, it seems that it is true, since the establishment of the company, Lin Xiaojun has not taken much vacation, even if it is a weekend, sometimes he is working overtime.
At this point, Wang Ye felt that he owed Lin Xiaojun.
"Okay, I'll give her half a month off, and you accompany her to go out for a walk. ”
……
After Lin Xiaojun and Li Hongmei went out to travel, Wang Ye was busy again all of a sudden, and many things needed him to see and sign.
When Wang Ye appeared in front of Liu Houzhong, Liu Houzhong was stunned and asked, "Teacher Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Ye smiled: "I made an appointment with your teacher. ”
"The teacher asked me to come out to pick you up, is that you?" Liu Houzhong was slightly stunned, looking at Wang Ye and Shen Song in a daze.
Wang Ye nodded and smiled: "If your teacher asked you to pick up the people from the Toutiao Company that day, that's right." ”
"The headlines of the day are yours too?"
"Questions?"
"Nope. Liu Houzhong hurriedly said: "Please here, my teacher is waiting for you in the office." ”
Under the leadership of Liu Houzhong, who was worried about his heart, Wang Ye and Shen Song came to the ancient office.
As soon as he entered, Wang Ye hurriedly walked forward and said to Gugu: "Gu, hello, I'm Wang Ye." ”
Gu smiled and said, "You are Xiaojun's girl's boyfriend?"
Wang Ye nodded and admitted.
Shen Song was stunned for a moment, is this to admit it?
The secrets between Wang Ye and Lin Xiaojun are actually known to many people in the company, and the two parties may think that what they are doing is very secretive.
Liu Houzhong was overshadowed when he heard that Wang Ye turned out to be Lin Xiaojun's boyfriend.
The former Lin Xuemei finally had a boyfriend, and she felt a sense of relief, this feeling was very strange, she knew that she couldn't get it, but she was worried about it.
Now that I hear that this flower has finally found its own cow dung, I am happy and hurt, I am happy that I finally don't have to worry about it, and I am hurt that this cow dung is not my own.
Gu said: "Heavy, you go and pour a few cups of tea and come in, and by the way, call your Senior Brother Li in." ”
After a while, Liu Houzhong's Senior Brother Li came in, and Liu Houzhong also came in with a few cups of tea, and just wanted to leave, Gu said again: "Heavy, you are also listening to it." ”
"Ah......" Liu Hou paused for a moment, then his face was ecstatic, and he hurriedly found a small bench to sit on the side.
Gu first spoke: "Mr. Wang, I have seen your case, to be honest, it is difficult to win, and your company is indeed suspected of infringing the copyright of the other party." ”
Wang Ye smiled: "Ancient, I don't think so. ”
Gu Leng paused for a moment, then looked at Wang Ye with a smile on his face, and said, "Tell me, what do you think." ”
Wang Ye sorted out his thoughts and said: "Our headline APP is just a porter of the news. ”
"When a user selects a news item in the information directory on our homepage, he clicks on it and sees a page that is already content on the content provider's website.
Instead of being stored on the servers of the day's headlines, the traffic brought in also goes to the content provider.
We also don't show our ads on the reading page, and we also indicate the source media and their logos. ”
Wang Ye said.
"Our APP is actually to provide search services, to put it bluntly, it is a search engine, and Du Niang, Google is actually no different, if we infringe, does that mean that Du Niang and Google are also infringing?"
After listening to Wang Ye's explanation, Gu Gu fell into a kind of contemplation and did not express his opinion.
"Xiao Li, what do you think?"
Senior Brother Li said: "Teacher, if it is really as Mr. Wang said, then the infringement of the headlines of the day will not be established." ”
Gu still didn't express his opinion, turned his gaze to Liu Houzhong, and asked, "Heavy, what do you think?"
"Ah, me?" Liu Houzhong didn't expect his teacher to call his name, he was nervous, and at the same time he was very excited.
"Yes, you can also tell us what you think. Gu looked at Liu Houzhong and said with a smile.
Liu Houzhong clenched his fists, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "I boldly guess the other party's point of view, they may think that the headlines of the day reprinted the news of the media, but did not pay for it, and did not get authorization, this is an infringement." ”
"I have used Toutiao of the Day, and from the perspective of the product, users click on the link in Toutiao and jump to the website that the link points to, not Toutiao's own website, so I think Toutiao's behavior is not to reprint, but to crawl and divert traffic. ”
Wang Ye said: "Yes, it is this brother who said this, we are not reprinting, but grabbing and diversion." ”
Liu Houzhong nodded to Wang Ye and continued: "In the statement of the headlines of the day, there is such a clause - it may be a little troublesome here to show the cooperation website page to users completely. ”
Wang Ye asked curiously, "What's the problem here?"
Liu Hou glanced at his teacher, and after receiving his teacher's encouraging eyes, he continued: "Mr. Wang, the same link is opened in your product, and the effect of opening it in the browser is completely different.
For the sake of the reading experience, you have optimized the content of the web page in the Toutiao APP, and added relevant reading, comment and other functions, and have actually formed a page of your own. ”
Although the page calls the link to the original website, the user sees a secondary processed page, which contradicts Toutiao's statement in the statement that "we do not modify the content of the page of the partner website". ”
"I'm afraid that the opposing lawyer will grasp this point. ”
Wang Ye was stunned, is this digging a pit for himself?
Senior Brother Li also said at this time: "What he said is right, so the real focus of the controversy now is not reprinting, but whether this method of secondary processing constitutes infringement, and the object of secondary processing is the page rather than the content itself." ”
Wang Ye asked, "Ancient, are there any relevant regulations in this regard?"
Gu shook his head and sighed: "The relevant copyright regulations do not have a clear definition of this method at present. ”
