Chapter 542: State Encouragement?!
When Zheng Xudong said that he would release some "shocking" evidence again, the reporters in the audience were going crazy and exclaimed: "Wow... No way... Let's do it!"
"He still has evidence?"
"yes, if he is allowed to seize evidence that the local government encourages piracy, will this matter be reported?"
"I don't know, our task is to send the information of today's interview back to the newspaper, as for whether to report or not, let the special leaders worry about it!"
"I knew that this was the case today, I shouldn't have come to this troubled water, I heard that TFBOYS came to Shanghai today, and I should go to the airport to grab first-hand information, it's so scary here!"
"It's too late to say anything now, the live broadcast is going on, you go and give it a try, and tomorrow you will be sprayed to death by the saliva of netizens. ā
"Oh, I didn't dream last night!"
"Who said it wasn't, we have all been kidnapped by this kid, if you don't report the shady story of the donation just now, didn't he just say it, he will be named and made public. ā
"I bet that the shady curtain in this copyright will be no smaller than the shady curtain of a certain Red Cross!"
"Approve +1"
"Agree +2"
"Agree+ ... Nā
The reporters in the audience were already in a mess at this time.
"Mr. Zheng, are you sure you still want to make this evidence public? It will cause you a lot of trouble, there is an old Chinese saying that the people do not fight with the officials! Think twice!" Lawyer Zhang is now also a little trembling by this young man, and he really doesn't know what explosive information will be broken out in a while. So he carefully reminded Zheng Xudong on the side.
"Don't worry! I've decided to poke this hornet's nest today that no one dares to poke. If the country really can't develop, I will go abroad to develop, and then I will take you abroad together, rest assured, there will be your food. ā
"Mr. Zheng, I didn't mean that, I'm worried about your development prospects!"
"Thanks! I see. ā
At this time, on the Sina.com live broadcast platform, it was like opening a pot, almost all netizens were leaving messages, and they wrote six words, "Support the fight against piracy!" These six words are written in red highlighted font. Each "Support the fight against piracy!" is followed by a number, and this number keeps growing, breaking a million in less than a minute, five million in two minutes, and still scrolling upward...
The reporters at the scene and Zheng Xudong were all paying attention to this number, and it took a full five minutes for the scrolling speed of this number to slow down, and everyone was stunned when they saw the number displayed above, 58.73 million!
"You can see it, this is the cry of 58 million people, the cry, in the fight against piracy, this is an issue that no government can ignore, and dare not ignore. Zheng Xudong yelled loudly into the microphone.
At this time, a central ministry in Beijing was in the conference room.
C said: "Do you still let the magic capital side broadcast live? ā
B said, "Yes, I know that too, and I have reported it to the above." ā
Ding said: "The attitude above is... ā
B said, "Alas, the difficulty is here, and after listening to the report, he hung up the phone. ā
C, D said, "Hang?!"
B said, "Hang up!"
C said, "What do you mean?"
Ding said: "The meaning of hanging up is to let us decide for ourselves." ā
C said, "What if something happens?"
At this time, A, who was sitting at the top, spoke: "What do you say! Of course we are here to carry it." Let's talk about it, what to do now, we must form a collective decision of the party committee as soon as possible, and no matter what problems go wrong at that time, honor and mistakes will be the result of a collective decision, and a conclusion will be reached after full democratic discussion. Let's talk about it!"
C Xian said: "I suggest that the live broadcast be turned off, which has seriously affected the image of the government. ā
Ding said: "No, it's too late now, it's too deliberate, that's 120 million netizens watching online, how do you explain the matter of turning off the live broadcast? At that time, whatever you say will be sprayed like a dog by netizens! So I suggest continuing the live broadcast, anyway, the attitude above is also very ambiguous." ā
Anyway, there are two choices, "continue" or "terminate", after everyone has fully democratically spoken, the leaders sitting at the top have listened to the speeches of the members of the party committee members extensively, and after a show of hands, the final decision has been made...
In the conference hall on the first floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the magic capital, Zheng Xudong cleared his throat, pointed into the microphone and said: "You have seen the voice of netizens just now, at this moment, 120 million netizens are online, and the latest number of supporting the fight against piracy is... Five thousand nine hundred seventy five thousand four hundred seventy-three. This was completely unexpected, I didn't expect so many netizens to support the fight against piracy! Well, I am also contributing to the fight against piracy now!"
"The evidence is finally coming. The reporters in the audience thought.
On stage, Zheng Xudong continued: "As you know, in addition to writing songs, I have also written several books in my spare time, and the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in Chinese, which is currently published in China, as well as the directly published "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love". At present, the best-selling book is "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the first four volumes of which have all been published by AH Literature and Art Publishing House, which is also the only authorized publishing house in my company, and any other individual, group, or organization publishing this book is pirated.
But now there are a large number of pirated books of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and two other novels on the market. The most exaggerated thing is that I have published two other best-selling novels in the United States, "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "House of Cards", which have been made into TV series, and I am also negotiating with domestic translation companies to translate them into Chinese, but now there are Chinese versions of these two novels on the market.
If you have the English version of these two novels, you may have brought them back from the United States by yourself or a friend, but all the Chinese versions of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "House of Cards" on the market are all pirated, and one is counted as one. This is the funniest thing, the original ones have not yet been translated, and the pirated ones have already been published! But why are these novels still being put on the shelves of major bookstores for sale? What is the problem? Don't bookstores look at the purchase channels and the document numbers of the books when they enter the house?
When I was in the United States, the domestic company had already reported the piracy situation to me, and went to the relevant departments of Modu to report it, but in exchange for letting us collect evidence by ourselves, if there was evidence, they would consider arranging a suitable time to crack down. This is the official reply. We pay so much tax every year that we have to collect the evidence ourselves. Isn't that the job of the relevant law enforcement agencies?
I was very angry when I heard the report from China, and since the relevant departments asked us to collect the evidence ourselves, okay! ā
The reporters in the audience could hear from Zheng Xudong's tone that this young man was really angry, and they could also experience the kind of old lady-like "inaction" of the relevant departments to treat the people. It seems that the evidence that this star is going to exhibit in a while is still forced by the relevant departments.
Zheng Xudong continued to say loudly: "I found a very well-known private detective agency in New York, and I spent two million dollars in advance to ask them to come to China to help me collect evidence of pirated printers. ā
"Wow! I gave 2 million US dollars in advance! That's more than 13 million yuan!" The reporters in the audience exclaimed!
"This money should not have been spent by our taxpayers, but there is no way, the relevant departments don't do it! After I returned to China, these private investigators sent out to collect evidence really didn't let me spend two million dollars in vain. They told me that the evidence had been almost collected, and I didn't want to show it here, but since a reporter asked about the copyright issue, I will make the evidence public that I have collected. ā
Just when everyone thought that Zheng Xudong was going to disclose the evidence, all the reporters' attention was focused on the projection screen, and Zheng Xudong suddenly said to the reporters who asked questions in the first row of the audience: "By the way, you didn't say what your name was when you asked the question just now, which media did you come from? ā
The reporter who asked the question in the first row just now didn't expect this kind of "divine turn", although he already had a premonition that something was wrong, but he couldn't dare to say his name and unit in public, so it would be even more unreasonable, so he whispered: "My name is Wang Dongqiang, a reporter from a magazine under the National Copyright Administration." ā
"Ahh Otherwise, he would have asked this kind of question, it turns out that he is from the National Copyright Administration!" the reporter in the audience whispered.
"Sure enough, it's pretty much the same as I thought. Hehe!" Zheng Xudong said with a smile. "Okay, let's not talk about more, everyone must be looking forward to what kind of evidence our company has collected, and now you won't lose your appetite, please look at the big screen. ā
At this time, the large screen behind him is divided into the shape of a "nine-square grid", and each grid has a picture that is being broadcast live, and in the picture is the printing press is constantly printing, and it is obvious that these printing presses are printing the cover of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". And in the upper left corner of each picture is the location and name of the printing house.
"The evidence I will show you first is that the private small printing house is pirating the evidence of printing my company's books, look at the first Red Star Printing House in XXX City, the information shows that this is a small state-owned enterprise, and the next picture is the Sanxin Printing House in XXX District, XXX City, they are also pirating and printing my novels... Zheng Xudong said in one breath that there are more than 20 small and medium-sized printing houses, which are distributed in more than 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, and some are even in the provincial capitals.
"These are small private printing houses, and the number of pirated copies is not large, and what I want to disclose to you below is that some state printing houses are openly pirating my novels, which is what I mean by the state encouraging and supporting piracy in disguise. ā
"Wow... This is a big deal, this kind of evidence can be grabbed! It's amazing, it seems that a foreign private investigator really is... Awesome!" the reporter in the audience commented.
And the netizens who were watching the live broadcast on Sina.com were also vying to speak, saying that they should quickly disclose the evidence.
At this time, the large screen is no longer divided into screens in the form of "nine-square grid", this time the screen is divided into four pieces, each screen is larger and clearer, "The first printing field is located in the western suburbs of the capital, and I will not name it here." You can see the sign hanging outside the printing house in the video. ā
"The first one is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. This little star is too bold!" The reporters in the audience didn't expect it to be like this.
