Chapter 1264 Think About It (It's the end of the month, there is still a monthly pass~)
Hanzhou's lion's head, dried shredded crab roe, Wensi tofu.
Lu cabbage's fried double crispy, nine turns of fat sausage, braised prawns.
Cantonese barbecued pork with honey sauce, braised shark's fin with vegetable gall, and sand tea beef.
Every dish is full of color, flavor, and taste, whether it is knife work or cooking techniques, but the guest is Nick, an unlucky guy who is about to be fined more than $200 billion and dumped by his girlfriend.
However, for Fu Zhengyi, the advocate of this lunch, this meal can be regarded as stress-free, and even some of the rhetoric he originally prepared is useless.
One million dollars, just invite the other party to a meal and chat even if it is earned, although strictly calculated in terms of his ability and speed to make money, this is a bit of a loss, but in view of the fact that the other party is now the most unlucky and vulnerable moment, Fu Zhengyi naturally will not care about why his female companion retreats on the spot, let alone ignore him ignores the lunch rules stipulated by Yibei.com, except for some overly sensitive questions, it can be said that there are questions to answer.
Holding the last glimmer of hope, he finally met Justicef, who was called a mysterious rich man by Forbes magazine, and the table full of dishes couldn't arouse Nick's appetite, and the wine served was really spicy and couldn't swallow, but Nick still realized that the other party was really very kind, without a little arrogance, and even showed the court summons when moved. "What do you think are my chances of winning this case?"
"I don't know much about U.S. copyright law than you think, but from a personal perspective, I don't think your 'instrumental' argument will be supported by a judge. You think you're just a software provider, so the illegal acts that netizens are doing with your software have nothing to do with you, but the problem is that your software supports and condones piracy, and also helps the spread of piracy, so although the $250 billion claim is really high, the purpose of this lawsuit is to deter people who want to circumvent the law through technical means, so even if I provoke this lawsuit, I may not be able to get out smoothly......"
"But the problem is that the MP3 player you developed has also been sued by the Recording Industry Association of America, and the end result is that you won!"
I see!
No wonder this guy was willing to spend a million dollars to see him when he was so unlucky, his real purpose turned out to be because of this, Fu Zhengyi couldn't help but have a new understanding of his associative ability and execution, and after thinking about it for a while, he told the truth. "Yes, I won the lawsuit that decided the fate of the MP3 player, but the legal environment at that time was completely different from the current one, the laws and regulations on the Internet were not perfect, and my company had reached an agreement with the Recording Industry Association of America before the lawsuit ended, and the download of genuine songs would be charged, so after that, Amazon, Apple's online music stores also paid fees to the Recording Industry Association of America, so for the Recording Industry Association of America, it costs a lot of money to continue to fight the lawsuit with me. But the benefits are not obvious, and compromise is the right choice......"
Nick felt a glimmer of hope. "What about me? Can I ...... too?"
"No, no, no, you can't! Because you have not only moved the cake of the Recording Industry Association of America, but also the cake of Hollywood, and the content of peer-to-peer data transmission will not be able to be supervised and monitored, so after this technology is widely used, neither the Recording Industry Association of America nor the big Hollywood companies can make profits through your company, let alone pursue the individuals who provide pirated data sources one by one, so no matter how strong you are now, you will lose this time. Otherwise, the authority of the genuine alliance will be gone, and the protection of the genuine will become an empty word, and in the long run, many industries will fall into recession and many people lose their jobs because of similar events, which must not be allowed to happen......"
Nick's eyes darkened again, and his shoulders fell in despair. "Can I still be saved?"
Fu Zhengyi spread his hands and made a helpless expression. "No matter how tenacious your nerves are, no matter how strong your determination to win is, no matter how wronged you feel, you have lost this lawsuit!"
"Oh my God, what should I do? This meal almost used up the last bit of liquidity in my company......"
Fu Zhengyi shook his head. "Proceeds from the lunch auction have already been donated to charity, but given the peculiarities of your situation, I can give you some advice on your future options, if any!"
Nick really wanted to ask if the meal was enough to get a discount, and he didn't expect a million dollars to be returned, but even if he could get a refund of 100,000 or 200,000 dollars, it would solve some of his practical problems.
The day of the trial is approaching, if Alina really decides to break up with herself, the funds available to the company will become more and more tight, lawyer fees, litigation costs, compensation for severing employees, and the next period of time, let alone wanting to return to her original life, whether she can survive is a question......
is called the most unlucky but also the luckiest guy in the history of entrepreneurship, his entanglement, his confusion, his depression, and his helplessness are all seen by Fu Zhengyi, this guy who is destined to be called a 'legend' is so tenacious and Fu Zhengyi is not clear, but even if he wants to pull him, it must not be now, because the 250 billion US dollars in punitive damages is really not a joke, so he carefully recalled the timeline that belongs to this guy, Fu Zhengyi also found a breakthrough.
"Nick, will you be completely defeated by the law?"
Nick sat up sharply. "No! I can be defeated by the law, by the rules, by the market, and by public opinion! But I will never admit to being defeated!"
Fu Zhengyi raised his wrist and pretended to be looking at the time, and then pointed to the table full of dishes. "Nick, it's been an hour and eight minutes since lunchtime, and since you're on the verge of bankruptcy and I can't help you, I want to give you a choice, whether to stay here and enjoy Chinese food, or postpone the rest of the time until a year or two years later, and I can give you a minute to make a decision, don't rush, think about it......
