Coming out of the hotel, Tang He and Wu Wei looked for a long time before getting on the bus to Lu County.

All the passengers on the bus looked weak, and even the ticket seller was napping in the paid chair.

Tang He closed his eyes a little tiredly, the road was bumpy, and it was another lunch break, he was really tired.

Wu Wei yawned, took out a black Nintendo GBP handheld from his backpack and played.

Perhaps it was the sound of the game console that was very loud, and the young man in the seat in front of Wu Wei turned his head: "Huh, is your game console from Nintendo?"

"That's right, it was Nintendo just released last year. Wu Wei replied without raising his head.

The young man was interested, and turned to watch Wu Wei play the game. After watching it for a while, he found that the picture quality of Wu Wei's game console was superb, which was completely different from the game console he usually played.

The young man asked Wu Wei strangely: "Hey, what kind of game console are you playing?" ”

Wu Wei replied: "RB's Nintendo." ”

"Is this the real game? Why don't you play the cracked version?"

"Can Nintendo's game console still be cracked?" Wu Wei was a little stunned by the young man's words, and couldn't help but raise his head.

"Uh......" The young man smiled awkwardly, he had only watched others play Nintendo handheld consoles once, and he usually played domestic handheld game consoles.

However, the young man soon realized that he had lost face in front of Wu Wei. Listening to Wu Wei's accent, you know that Wu Wei is not from the capital, but a native hat from the countryside.

How can I be laughed at by outsiders!

The young man felt that he could not lose face in front of outsiders and had the responsibility and obligation to protect the face of the people in the capital, so he pretended to pouted his lips with disdain: "Tsk, why did you buy it if you can't crack it? Are you stupid? If you have this money, you might as well buy that kind of domestic game console that can change the screen, a screen is a game, and it is enough for you to play!"

"It's too troublesome to change the screen, and besides, can the domestic machine compare the picture and fun with Nintendo?" Wu Wei didn't bother to take care of the young man, lowered his head and continued to play the game.

"Don't you understand that you support domestic products? Obviously, there are cracked games that you have to pay for if you don't play them, and you are a stupid bird. The young man saw that Wu Wei didn't care about himself and was bored with himself, so he muttered and turned around.

"I ......" Wu Wei couldn't see this kind of crooked person, who was about to get angry but was stopped by Tang He, who opened his eyes next to him.

Looking back and seeing Tang He shaking his head at himself, Wu Wei was silent for a moment, then put down his clenched fists and shouted at the young man in front of him: "I think it's worth paying for what you like!"

"Haha...... There are such people!Fool!" The young man didn't reply, and just sneered.

Tang He patted Wu Wei's shoulder to signal him not to cause trouble, and then said to the young man, "Brother, have you ever escaped the bus ticket?"

“…… No. The young man looked back curiously.

"Have you ever seen someone evade a ticket?"

"Of course I do. ”

"I've seen it too, but have you ever seen someone evade a ticket and turn around and laugh at you and say, 'Are you stupid or not, why do you want to buy a ticket?'"

“…… Haven't seen it. ”

"I haven't seen it before, but I finally saw it today. ”

“……”

Tang He didn't take care of the young man, he gave Wu Wei who was almost laughing on the side, and motioned him to stop paying attention to the young man in front of him, so he closed his eyes again.

The confused young man in the front seat thought about it for a while, only to realize that he was scolded by Tang He, and just wanted to stand up and clean up Tang He, he noticed Wu Wei's fierce eyes.

The young man was timid, snorted, and turned away.

Tang He sighed in his heart.

That's why he turned his mind to pirated books.

In this era, Chinese people have no awareness of copyright at all. Even if they knew what intellectual property was, they would not respect it in order to enjoy the convenience and cheapness of piracy. On the contrary, in order to be cheap, they will buy pirated copies and play pirated copies. Some people don't even feel guilty, like the young man, who is not ashamed, but proud.

Tang He remembered that he had seen a story on the Internet.

This story is about what happened to a businessman named Pang Zhonghua in the 90s.

Pang Zhonghua's hard pen calligraphy calligraphy was very popular in China in the 90s, and even Tang He practiced it when he was a child. Therefore, in the 90s, there were a lot of pirated copybooks in the book market. In the face of this situation, Pang Zhonghua has not taken action.

Once, a reader of Pang Zhonghua reported to Pang Zhonghua that there was a printing house that pirated his copybook somewhere, and Pang Zhonghua entrusted a lawyer to investigate. As a result, the lawyer could not even enter the door of the printing house. In desperation, Pang Zhonghua asked the local authorities for help, and the staff drove into the factory in a police car and seized pirated copies worth hundreds of thousands of yuan on the spot.

Unexpectedly, within a few minutes, the factory director and the leaders of the public security H County came, beckoning everyone to have a meal first. "At one end of the wine glass, the policy is relaxed. Pang Zhonghua said with a smile, "Later, there was no way to arrest people." The county magistrate said that the factory was in a recession, "and only by printing Mr. Pang's books can the workers be paid", and "Mr. Pang's books are not obscene and pornographic, so what's wrong with printing more?"

In the end, the solution proposed by the factory was to compensate Pang Zhonghua for 20,000 pirated books, which made Pang Zhonghua cry and laugh, and finally had to give up.

What does this story illustrate?

In the era when the law is not clearly stated, some gray industry chains will turn a blind eye to the local government to a certain extent as long as they pay taxes normally.

That's why Marx's classic argument about capital is available in political textbooks.

As long as no one deliberately makes trouble, Tang He is confident that he can survive on pirated books for a year and a half.

Then by then, Tang He had already relied on the follow-up plan to help Youpin Bookstore go ashore.

The bus entered Lucheng District, and Tang He and Wu Wei casually found a stop to get off. Then the two inquired all the way, scattered cigarettes all the way, and finally found the land of the pirated distribution base.

It's a small building in the middle of nowhere, and there's a sign hanging outside that says XX Hostel. At this moment, people come and go in front of the door of the hostel, and it is very lively.

Passers-by who showed them the way told them that the hostel had contracted rooms to pirates all year round, and that a room was a shop, and that customers from all over the country could come here to buy orders at any time.

Tang He and Wu Wei glanced at each other and walked in with a hint of nervousness.

The interior layout of the hostel is very simple, in the classic style of the Soviet aid period, with a corridor in the middle and symmetrical rooms on the left and right.

Along the way, Tang He and Wu Wei saw that the doors of each room were open.

Looking in from the door, you can see that there are a lot of book samples in the room, on the bed, on the table, everywhere, all kinds of pirated books, genuine special books, everything, dazzling, dizzying.

That's right, it should be here!

The small bookstalls in the streets and alleys, bookstores, and pirated books in rental bookstores are all from here!

Tang He was overjoyed.
