It seems like a simple request, but it is difficult for Wang Ze.

If Wang Xue can face this problem calmly, why bother flying back from the United States to negotiate with Lin Youlun, and directly issue a statement to admit this matter.

Wang Xue didn't speak, but the little Wang Ze on the side couldn't help but say, "Is Mr. Lin's request a bit excessive?" ”

"Shut up, is there a place for you to talk?"

Wang Xue reprimanded his son, and then continued to discuss with Lin Youlun: "Mr. Lin, do you think you can do this?" I gave a sum of money to my brother's descendants as some compensation to them, and then the matter ended there. ”

Wang Ze's idea is to spend money to avoid disasters, as for that statement, he will never issue it.

Lin Youlun laughed.

"Mr. Wang, I wonder if the money you plan to take out will be more than this?"

Under Lin Youlun's eyes, Ajie handed Wang Ze a contract document that had been prepared a long time ago.

Wang Xue took it with a puzzled expression, and after opening it and looking at it a few times, his face changed greatly, he raised his head to look at Lin Youlun, and asked in surprise, "What does Mr. Lin mean by this?" ”

"Isn't it very clear in the contract? Do you need me to explain something to Mr. Wang? ”

Wang Ze's expression became ugly.

The contract handed over to him by Lin Youlun clearly states that he is ready to buy the complete copyright of his brother's "Old Master" comics, and the copyright purchase fee of 10 million Hong Kong dollars alone far exceeds the money that Wang Ze is ready to take out to compensate his brother's descendants, not to mention that after the copyright is in hand, Lin Youlun may have various actions in the next step.

Comic creation, film and television adaptation. can justifiably use the name of "Old Master". And because the two versions of the comic book characters are too close. It's easy for readers to confuse the two.

If Wang Zhi chooses to sue the other party for infringement, he will only shoot himself in the foot, and he knows very well in his heart that he will not win this lawsuit!

Behind Lin Youlun is the Hong Kong film industry, whose influence has extended to the world, and has a powerful distribution company like "Ming Pao" Group, which can easily promote the Peng brother's version of "Old Master", and even directly replace Wang Ze's "Old Master".

In other words, the fame and influence accumulated by Wang Ze's hard work for decades in creating "Old Master" may be directly accepted by the other party. This is similar to the way he took his brother's cartoon characters privately back then, the only difference is that Lin Youlun is doing it reasonably, but Wang Xue acted very badly back then!

Wang Xue sighed in his heart, he knew that he was so important in the first place, and it was really uncomfortable to be treated by Lin Youlun in the way of others.

Lin Youlun stood up, at this time he had no idea to continue talking with Wang Xue, the opportunity had already been given to the other party, don't blame him for being polite if he doesn't listen to the greeting.

"Mr. Lin. Please wait a moment! ”

Wang Ze hurriedly chased out of the room.

"Is there anything else Mr. Wang is up to?" Lin Youlun stopped and asked.

"This contract ......"

Wang Ze wanted to return the contract to Lin Youlun, but Lin Youlun did not reach out to take it.

"Mr. Wang, keep it. Just take it as a souvenir...... I am waiting for Mr. Wang's reply! ”

"Did I agree to Mr. Lin's request, and Mr. Lin would not have signed this contract?" Wang Ze asked suddenly.

Lin Youlun shook his head regretfully.

"How could Mr. Wang have such an idea? As if I was using this contract to threaten Mr. Wang's promise, I never do anything coercive. I asked my brother's descendants to sign this contract, and I definitely didn't mean to target Mr. Wang, don't think about it! ”

After Wang Xue heard this, his heart was like a thousand grass and mud horses galloping by, this is not a threat, so what is a threat?

Lin Youlun didn't care what kind of reaction Wang Xue would have, and left after saying this.

Wang Ze stood in place, the expression on his face as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

"Dad, do you really plan to accept Lin Youlun's conditions?" Xiao Wang Ze also followed, and at this time he couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Do you think we have any other options now?" Wang Ze threw the contract left by Lin Youlun into his son's hand, "Read it for yourself!" ”

Xiao Wang Xue didn't understand why his father's attitude would suddenly soften, and after reading this contract, a cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously.

"You were already ready to agree to Lin Youlun's conditions just now, why did he insist on signing this contract?" Xiao Wang Xue was a little puzzled.

Wang Xue sighed, don't look at his son, who is nearly ten years older than Lin Youlun, but in terms of mental calculation, a hundred of him can't be worth Lin Youlun.

"Because this is a sword he hangs over our heads, and as long as we are disobedient, this sword can fall at any time!"

Lin Youlun bought the copyright of his brother's "Old Master", and he could force Wang Ze's father and son to submit, and he could kick Wang Ze's father and son to go alone. As long as this contract is in hand, Wang Ze's father and son are fish and meat on the chopping board, and they only have the share to be slaughtered by him!

Xiao Wang Ze's eyes widened and he looked at his father in disbelief.

"You mean that Lin Youlun's real purpose is actually to force us to cooperate with him?"

Wang Xue wasn't sure before, but when he saw this contract, he understood it all in his heart.

Although I am not sure whether Lin Youlun has long had an attempt on the "Old Master" comics, or because of the temporary intention of his brother, the purpose is very clear, that is, to get the copyright of the "Old Master" comics.

"Where is this cooperation, it is clearly coercion! Surely we have nothing to do? Xiao Wang Ze said dissatisfiedly.

"Unless we can offer a higher price than him to buy the comic rights of my brother." Wang Ze said with a wry smile.

As soon as he heard his father's words, Xiao Wang Ze was immediately discouraged.

Competing for financial resources, their father and son are definitely not Lin Youlun's opponents, taking a step back, even if their father and son can snatch the copyright of their brother's comics from Lin Youlun, such a move is tantamount to invisibly admitting the fact that they plagiarized each other before.

What's more, the copyright of Pengdi's comics has no meaning in the hands of their father and son, but it is different in the hands of Lin Youlun.

Wang Ze sighed: "Probably this is retribution!" ”

——

A week after Ming Pao revealed that Wang Ze's "Old Master" cartoon had plagiarized the work of the same name by mainland cartoonist Peng Di, Wang Ze appeared in Hong Kong and made a public statement in front of the media.

"The comic of "Old Master" in the creation of the place, indeed from the work of Mr. Pengdi, for more than 30 years, this matter has been in my heart, can not be extricated, today fortunately the media exposure, so that I finally have the courage to stand up and admit this matter, here I want to apologize to Mr. Pengdi, but also to all the readers who like "Old Master" to say sorry...... In order to express my personal sincerity, in all the comics, film and television works of "Old Master" published in the future, Mr. Pengdi's contribution to this work will be specially noted! ”

In front of the TV, Jin Yong and Dong Qianli, the current president of Ming Pao who came to visit him, watched Wang Ze's public statement together.

"Isn't Mr. Lin's approach a little too violent?"

Dong Qianli is a cultural person, and he always feels that Lin Youlun has gone too far to persecute Wang Xue's father and son like this.

Jin Yong shook his head and disagreed with Dong Qianli's statement.

"What kind of person should be used to deal with what kind of person, if Lin Sheng doesn't do this, I'm afraid Wang Ze's father and son won't compromise so easily, right?"

Dong Qianli had nothing to say, he didn't know what the mood of Wang Ze's father and son was at the moment, but he had just told Feng Jicai, who was far away in the mainland, the news to Feng Jicai, and Feng Jicai was very satisfied with the result.

Lin Youlun's approach not only gave some compensation to his brother's descendants financially, but also helped his brother restore his reputation.

"It's just that in this way, Mr. Lin has become a wicked person in the hearts of Wang Ze's father and son." In Dong Qianli's opinion, Wang Ze's father and son suffered such a big loss this time, and they also lost face, they must hate Lin Youlun to death.

But Kim Yong doesn't think so.

"Let's make a bet, after this incident, Wang Ze's father and son will not only not turn against Lin Sheng, but also take the initiative to cooperate with him."

Dong Qianli knew that the relationship between Jin Yong and Lin Youlun was not ordinary, and he might have heard some news from Lin Youlun, so he naturally refused to make this bet with Jin Yong, but he was still very curious, why would Jin Yong think so.

"Comics are just a money-making tool for Wang Ze, from the beginning when he plagiarized his brother, and now he is forced to admit it, this person does not take his reputation very seriously, so he will only do what is in his best interests. Things have come to this point, what's the use of holding grudges against Lin Sheng, it's better to take this opportunity to cooperate with Lin Sheng and stabilize the relationship between the two sides...... If you look at Wang Xue from the perspective of a cultural person, of course you will think that way, but if you look at him from the perspective of a businessman, you will naturally understand what choice he will make. ”

Dong Qianli nodded, but then shifted the microphone from Wang Xue to Lin Youlun.

"Mr. Cha thinks that Mr. Lin is a cultural person or a businessman?"

Jin Yong smiled and pointed at Dong Qianli, "You're deliberately trying to give me a problem, right?" ”

Dong Qianli also laughed, "This shouldn't be a difficult thing for Mr. Cha, right?" ”

Jin Yong groaned slightly, "I heard that director Zhang Che once commented that his old rival Li Hanshen is 'the silver armor overlord with half of the abacus exposed at his waist', this metaphor is really wonderful, and then it can be used on Lin Sheng...... It should be a splendid scribe who is good at splashing ink, but when he draws a pen, it is a piece of banknotes, do you say that Lin Sheng is a businessman or a cultural person? ”

Dong Qianli was stunned when he heard this, and then clapped his hands.

Among cultural people, Lin Youlun is definitely one of the best businessmen, and among businessmen, Lin Youlun is definitely a rare cultural person, and the metaphor of Jin Yong is indeed very appropriate for him. (To be continued......)
