Act Twenty-Five: The Partition Wall Has Ears

Doug got into the carriage and left Yale.

He did not return to the printing and dyeing factory, although he had to arrange a visit, but he could not expect the workers to be on standby for a long time 24 hours a day, and they were still in the factory late at night.

Doug returned to the New Haven Hotel, and the waiter standing at the door saw Doug in the carriage, rushed to Doug in a few arrows, and helped Doug out of the car.

"Sir, your bath water is ready!" said the waiter.

Doug nodded.

"Sir, there's a man in the lobby who wants to see you!"

"Who?" asked Doug with his head tilted.

"Jimmy McGill, do you know him?"

"He's my lawyer. Doug said.

As he spoke, Doug soon met McGill in the lobby.

The depressed look on McGill's face has diminished a lot, and it seems that his busy work can indeed effectively alleviate negative mental emotions.

"Mr. Doug, I'm ......" McGill immediately stood up to speak when he saw Doug.

Doug shook his head slightly, tilted his head to the side and whispered, "Follow me." ”

McGill was quick to react, and although it was late, the hotel lobby was still crowded.

Who knows who has a stake in what is said in a while, and whether someone will sell it as information for a good price?

He was just too anxious.

After finishing Doug's assignment, he first went to the Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory, but the workers there asked about McGill's identity and told him that the boss was still leaving.

As for where they went, they didn't know.

When he returned to the police station and asked his cousin Hull, Hull didn't know where Doug would go, but told him that Doug was staying at the New Haven Hotel and that he should be able to wait for him there.

McGill was at the New Haven Hotel, and it was hours to sit.

At first, a waiter came over and asked him what he wanted to drink.

McGill said he was waiting for someone.

After an hour or two, there were more and more people in the lobby, and the seats were a little insufficient. The waiter came again and asked him what he wanted to drink, and tactfully said that if he didn't order anything, he would be asked to come out of the hotel and wait.

He originally wanted to order something and forget it, but the expensive price list still made him tremble a little.

He picked up his handbag and wanted to leave, but another tall waiter asked him who he was waiting for.

That waiter was Madison.

Recently, Madison, who was favored by Master Doug, suddenly became more generous.

He insisted on drawing every day, and he did not forget his job as a waiter.

It's not that he can't afford to pay a waiter, but he doesn't want to leave the New Haven Hotel, the New Haven information center.

After careful consideration, he has found his position. Although Master Doug let himself draw, he could not paint for a lifetime.

In addition to doing this thing that anyone can do, you also need to have something that you can do to prove your worth.

Otherwise, the person favored by Master Doug today may be his own Madison, but it is possible that tomorrow it will be someone else Filson.

Madison has a strong desire to survive and an equally strong ability to take chances.

When he learned that the person McGill was waiting for was Master Doug, he didn't overconfirm the authenticity, so he bought him a drink and asked him to sit here and wait.

Although he was reluctant to buy the drinks in the hotel, he just took a small sip in the process of delivering them.

But compared to the price of the meaty drink, the most important thing is to have a clear arrangement of things about Master Doug.

Doug removed the "Do Not Disturb" sign, inserted (harmony) the key, and slowly twisted the armrest.

The delicate touch of his hands, and the almost imperceptible resistance of his hair, made him a little relieved.

He and McGill entered the room one after the other.

McGill closed the door and tried to speak again, but Doug put his index finger against his lips and told him not to make a sound.

Doug pulled out a wad of white paper from the drawer in his desk and took out two pens, one for McGill and one for himself.

Pulling out the cap of the pen in his hand, Doug wrote on the paper, "Don't speak, write on paper." ”

McGill looked warily, but there were only walls with ornaments hanging on them, and nothing could be found.

Doug was cautiously a little nervous, but the hotel has always been a hub for information. Some of these messages include those that the parties want people to know about deliberately spreading them, and there are also those that the parties do not want to disseminate.

How does the unwanted news get out?

It's worth thinking about, isn't it?

Therefore, being cautious and cautious became Doug's choice.

Although McGill also found it a little cumbersome, he was also relieved at the same time.

He sees himself as Doug's partner, and who wouldn't want their partner to be more reliable?

He wrote on the paper, "The judge, the jury, and the police have all been arranged, when do you want to go to trial?"

"Wait. Doug wrote on paper.

The death of the little shoe-shiner must wait for the mass production of the mass version of "Monopoly" to begin.

Although those people had a lot of fun playing "Monopoly" just now, even the tokens in the game are a bit too simple to ask each player to pay real money to act.

Before, Doug still thought too simply, he thought that the industry only needed to get the general framework, and the details were not a problem.

But as things stand, it's the details that are the biggest problem.

"Good. McGill wrote.

After he finished writing this sentence, he thought about it a little more and continued to write on the paper, "Does your Monopoly have applied for patent and copyright protection?"

"Nope. Doug wrote on paper.

It's not that he doesn't know about patents and copyrights, it's just that he doesn't believe in U.S. enforcement.

In the law of the United States, no one is equal, only money is equal,

If you have money, the scales of the law will tilt in your favor.

If you are rich, the weight of the scales will be unbalanced.

If you are very rich, Libra is yours.

Writing patent and copyright application documents requires not only going through various departments, but also having the corresponding format.

In addition, patents and copyrights are filed separately in each country, and the rules and requirements are different in each country.

Although there are potential risks in the long run for not registering patents and copyrights, for Doug, who does not understand these and does not have the corresponding time to learn and has not yet come into contact with the corresponding talents, he is willing to sacrifice long-term interests for short-term interests.

It's not that he's short-sighted, but that he has a future by grasping the present.

"Leave it to me!" McGill wrote, "Actually, I'm a patent attorney full-time!"

"Okay! I'll sort out the information and hand it over to you tomorrow. Can you apply for patents and copyrights outside of the U.S.? Money is not an issue. ”

"No problem. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands can all apply!"

"Over to you!" Doug stood up and patted McGill on the shoulder, sending him out of the room.

Doug sat in front of a burning copper basin, his cheeks shining warmly.

He watched as all the paper he had just written had turned into embers, flickering with a little fire, and there was no trace left, before he went to take a shower and came back to write the documents needed for patents and copyrights.
