The license of "Shenzhou Science and Technology Electronics Co., Ltd." has been approved, and Changyang Valley is a high-tech incubation base, not only has a variety of tax reduction and exemption policies, but also registers a company that is a special case, and all the procedures can be completed within a week.
In addition to Song Weiyang, there are only three people in "Shenzhou Technology" for the time being: general manager Shen Fuxing, technical advisor Hu Renbo (associate professor of Shangjiao), and financial director Wei Zexin (one of the confidants of his mother Guo Xiaolan).
Immediately, Shen Fuxing made a phone call back to the northeast and immediately recruited two old subordinates as deputies.
Both of them work in medium-sized state-owned enterprises, one is a deputy department, and the other is a regular department, and their level is not low. Although that state-owned enterprise is constantly declining, it is far more powerful than local small state-owned enterprises, if it were not for Shen Fuxing's personality charm, he might not be able to recruit people over the phone.
Hu Rinpo also quickly set up a PHS technology research group, with two lecturers and a group of students.
After Wei Zexin took over the finance of Shenzhou Technology, he soon transferred a few people from Xifeng Company to set up the shelves of the company's finance and procurement departments.
Schools, dormitories.
Song Weiyang said to Nie Jun: "Let's go, take you to visit a great writer." ”
"Who?" asked Nie Jun.
"Ye Yonglie. Song Weiyang said.
Nie Jun suddenly became happy: "Then let's go." ”
Song Weiyang said: "Bring the first three volumes of "Resident Evil". ”
"Resident Evil" has been serialized in the fourth part of the magazine, and the main plot stated by Song Weiyang has not changed, but the side plot has been written in a mess. It's all made by Nie Jun, this guy has become a famous science fiction writer, the update speed is as slow as a turtle, but the quality is constantly improving.
In order to create "Resident Evil", Nie Jun has read two sets of popular science books published in recent years, as well as various research science and military magazines, and he has also read a lot of American science fiction blockbusters. In terms of artistic value and ideological connotation, Nie Jun's "Resident Evil" has far surpassed the movies and games in history.
Starting from the third part, Nie Jun consciously joined original characters and gradually wrote his own story.
This year, science fiction literature exploded, and popular science books and science fiction have developed rapidly. "Science Fiction Time" helped to publish the first three "Resident Evil", and the sales exceeded 20,000 in the first month, and the sales of both genuine and pirated copies are rising.
Song Weiyang didn't want to sign it, after all, he only provided ideas, and Nie Jun was writing. But Nie Jun wants to add Song Weiyang's name to life or death, but in order, author: Nie Jun, Song Weiyang.
As for the remuneration and royalties, Nie Jun takes eighty percent, and Song Weiyang takes two percent.
"The Three-Body Problem" was not serialized, and it was not even talked about at school, Song Weiyang dug a big hole and did not fill it, and the book fans who accidentally fell into the pit were so angry that their teeth itched.
With a copy of "Resident Evil" just published, Song Weiyang and Nie Jun went to Caoxi New Village in Shenghai, where the famous writer Ye Yonglie lived.
Who is Ye Yonglie?
Everyone has heard of "100,000 Whys", and Ye Yonglie is one of the main authors. In addition, he has written a series of books, which were included in Who's Who in the World eight years ago and was hired as a special consultant by the American Biographical Institute.
The most important thing is that Ye Yonglie is the "father of PHS", his "PHS Roaming the Future", completed in 1961, was finally published after 17 years of dust, and is the first science fiction since China's reform and opening up, with 3 million copies in the first printing.
Song Weiyang came to authorize the name "PHS".
……
It's ridiculous to say that although Ye Yonglie has published a series of books, "PHS Roaming the Future" alone has sold millions of copies. But he didn't have much money, because the Chinese publishing industry before the 90s was too pitiful, and the royalties that authors could get were too small. After the 90s, the piracy market intensified, and the sales volume could reach dozens or hundreds of times that of genuine copies.
Ye Yonglie is another person who likes to run around, he has run all over the country, the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and the money he earned by writing travelogues along the way is far from enough to spend.
If you are full of calculations, Ye Yonglie's current savings are only hundreds of thousands, and he can be called a rich writer, but he is not comparable to his fame and works.
Recently, Ye Yonglie's lawsuit was lost again. He used to write a book called "The Biography of Chen Boda", in which there were two photos that were not taken by him, and the photographer came to sue for infringement, and he fought a lawsuit three years ago, Ye Yonglie lost the lawsuit and was sentenced to compensate the photographer for the copyright fee together with the publishing house.
But Ye Yonglie was not convinced, the photos he took by himself were all indicated, and he didn't take the manuscript fee for the photos he didn't take by himself, and he didn't know who took them at the time, and it was provided by Chen Boda's son.
As a result, Ye Yonglie chose to appeal, but the original verdict was upheld this year. He doesn't care about the money he accompanies him, he cares more about his reputation, he really didn't intentionally infringe, after all, the litigation costs of the two lawsuits exceeded the compensation.
Now there are several newspapers that are reporting on Ye Yonglie's copyright infringement, which has tarnished the reputation he has accumulated over the past 20 years - he must publish a public apology.
"Knock knock!"
The little nanny ran out to open the door, opened a crack in the door and asked, "Who are you?"
Song Weiyang smiled: "We are writers, and we came to visit Mr. Ye Yonglie. ”
Ye Yonglie had already come out of the study and shouted, "Please come in." ”
Song Weiyang held the three "Resident Evil" and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, my name is Song Weiyang, and this is my friend Nie Jun." We created a science fiction together, and we asked Mr. Yazheng. ”
"Please be seated," Ye Yonglie smiled, "I have seen the first part of "Resident Evil", it is well written, young people should work hard. ”
Ye Yonglie cares about politics, history, literature and science, and usually does not read business news. He had heard of Xifeng Company and Song Weiyang, but it was limited to that, he didn't even recognize him in person at the moment, and only regarded Song Weiyang as an ordinary young writer.
The three of them sat together and chatted, Song Weiyang didn't talk much, but Nie Jun and Ye Yonglie chatted energetically, and the main content of the exchange was China's current science fiction literature and popular science reading.
Until it was getting dark, Song Weiyang suddenly said: "I heard that Wu Ying, the boss of UTStarcom, visited Mr. Ye last year?"
Ye Yonglie was stunned, and it took a long time to recall: "There is such a thing. That Wu is always bearded, and I still have some impressions, saying that I want to engage in domestic mobile phones and create a national brand, so I will authorize PHS to use it. ”
"Then did you authorize him?" asked Song Weiyang.
"Since he wants it, then I will give it, after all, it is a domestic mobile phone, and I can also contribute to the development of national science and technology. Ye Yonglie said with a smile.
Song Weiyang asked, "How much is the authorization fee?"
Ye Yonglie said: "It's just a name, what else can I ask for money? I didn't let him pay a penny, so I wrote a note, so that he could use 'PHS' as a product name for free." ”
The situation is like this, Xu Fuxin, director of Yuhang Telecommunications, contacted many companies to do PHS, but they were all refused, and only Wu Ying expressed his willingness to cooperate. After all, PHS is not easy to remember, so the two of them came up with a Chinese name. They quickly named it "PHS", because Ye Yonglie's "PHS Roaming the Future" has been circulated tens of millions of copies of genuine and pirated copies in the past 20 years, and this name is a natural advertisement.
Wu Ying immediately came to visit Ye Yonglie, intending to get authorization. Ye Yonglie didn't ask for a penny, he wrote a note for Wu Ying to use casually, and he didn't sign any contract.
Song Weiyang smiled and took out the document and said: "Mr. Wu's cooperation with the Telecommunications Bureau has been stranded, and he has difficulties in funds, and now I am cooperating with the Telecommunications Bureau." Mr. Ye, please see, this is the company's license, and this is the phone number of Director Xu of Yuhang Telecommunications Bureau. If in doubt, Mr. Ye can ask Director Xu. ”
"You're still a boss. Ye Yonglie was surprised.
Nie Jun said, "Has Mr. Ye heard of Xifeng Company?"
Ye Yonglie nodded and said, "I've heard of it." The last time the Shenghai Writers Association gathered, it was Xifeng pure water as a hospitality drink. ”
Nie Jun pointed at Song Weiyang: "This is the chairman of Xifeng Company, Xifeng produces very Coke, and now it is the largest domestic Coke brand, and it can't fight foreign Coke." He is also the president and secretary of the Shenghai University Students' Association. ”
"I know, why is the name Song Weiyang very familiar when I say it," Ye Yonglie said, "During the winter vacation last year, there were volunteers from Caoxi New Village who came to do literacy services, and they also played the signboard of the University Student Federation. Young people are very good, and we need to continue to carry forward this spirit. ”
Song Weiyang took out two thick stacks of banknotes and said, "Mr. Ye, I hope to obtain the exclusive authorization of the name 'PHS'. ”
"What are you doing here? Get the money back. Ye Yonglie was a little unhappy.
Song Weiyang said: "There are no rules, and the same is true for doing business. Since I have decided to be PHS, then I must obtain Mr. Ye's authorization, otherwise it is illegal and violates the rights and interests of the creator. It's like when you create a biography and those pirates print and sell it without your consent. ”
When these words came to Ye Yonglie's heart, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll write you a note." You don't have to take the money, it's just a name. ”
"I want exclusive licensing. Song Weiyang said.
Ye Yonglie shook his head and said: "It's not good to do a unique business, if domestic brands want to prosper, everyone must work together." ”
Song Weiyang said resolutely: "No, 'PHS' is a brand. If I want to make PHS bigger, I have to invest a lot in advertising. I would be happy for other entrepreneurs to come together to do business, but they can create their own brands, and I can't spend money to make the PHS brand famous, and they will come to pick peaches without a penny. Do you think that's the truth?"
"That's right. Ye Yonglie said.
"So, they want to make PHS mobile phones, and register other brands just can't rob PHS for me. Song Weiyang continued to flicker.
"Okay, I'll write," Ye Yonglie said, "but the bearded Mr. Wu, I've already written a note to him." If a person can't be untrustworthy, he can still continue to use the name PHS. ”
Song Weiyang smiled and took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago and said, "Of course, this is not a conflict. His note is written in the front, so he naturally has the relevant rights and interests, and I just put an end to the latecomers. Mr. Ye, please check this authorization contract carefully. ”
Ye Yonglie glanced at it casually, and found that the contract said that he would use PHS's name for 100,000 yuan, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's all said, no need to give money." ”
"Money must be given, this is your legitimate income," Song Weiyang said, "Now China just does not pay attention to intellectual property rights, PHS is also a kind of intellectual property rights, which is abnormal and does not conform to the laws of market science." Mr. Ye, we should start with ourselves and work together to protect the intellectual property rights of Chinese. ”
"If you put this hat down, I won't be able to say yes. Ye Yonglie laughed.
In fact, Ye Yonglie is still very proud, the characters in the book, the name can be sold for 100,000 yuan, how many cards there are.
In this way, Song Weiyang obtained the exclusive authorization of "PHS", except for Wu Ying of UTStarcom, any other use of "PHS" as a brand name is an infringement.
Although it is possible to sign a 10-year buyout contract with the telecommunications bureau, it is impossible to really do a 10-year independent business. The first two or three years may be okay, but when the market is bigger, there will inevitably be people who want to run to get a piece of the pie.
When the time comes, if the background is too hard to provoke, Song Weiyang will choose to cooperate with the other party and open branches of businesses in certain cities to make money together. As for those little miscellaneous fish, hehe, Song Weiyang is really not afraid, even the telecommunications bureau does not dare to turn his face directly - the bigger PHS does, the closer the cooperation between Song Weiyang and the telecommunications bureau, and the collapse is cannibalism.
Historically, Wu Ying also wanted to do his own business, and he did it for several years. In the end, there were too many people who were red-eyed, and the mobile side also made a loop, and it was also involved in anti-monopoly, and the State Administration of Telecommunications finally completely opened up the market, and several mobile phone manufacturers came to do PHS.
The purpose of Song Weiyang's visit today is to prevent the telecommunications bureau from completely opening up the market.
Hehe, when the time comes, other mobile phone manufacturers will do it casually, but they can't use the brand "PHS", because Song Weiyang has exclusive authorization and preemptively registered the trademark in advance. This confused lawsuit can be fought for several years, and even if he can't win, Song Weiyang can directly advertise that his competitors are counterfeit products.
That's enough, Song Weiyang only plans to do PHS business for 10 years, and it is even possible that he will sell it directly after seven or eight years - to make computers and GSM mobile phones with peace of mind, and by the way, accumulate strength for smartphones.
