New song copyright?

Lin Chu's eyes lit up when she heard that Wang Yang actually had a way to protect the copyright of his new song.

"Oh? The lawyer has a solution for this?"

"Tell me about it!"

He had just unlocked the wildly popular parallel world single "Love Transfer" through the system and was looking to do some free promotion through this wildly popular online variety show livestream.

He has been hesitant to take action because he has to divide the copyright of his works created during the marriage with his wife, Su Lin, in half.

I was originally thinking of waiting to see if the system reward for the next mission would be helpful, but I didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise with my good friend.

If a lawyer has a good solution, that would be perfect for solving this problem!

Wang Yang could hear the curiosity in Lin Chu's tone, and he felt somewhat gratified.

"I thought you wouldn't care about this kind of thing for a while."

"You're about to get divorced, and so many people online are being misled by your wife and are criticizing you. Under these circumstances, you've created a new song?"

"Alright, as long as you don't give up, your good brothers will find a way to help you make a comeback!"

"A woman like Su Lin isn't worth your heartache!"

"On the contrary, my eldest niece, Mai Mai, is so sensible and adorable. We must fight for custody of her after the divorce; we can't leave her to that greedy bastard!"

As he spoke, Wang Yang also laid out the solutions proposed by the lawyer.

"It's easy for you to say. I'll set up a music company tomorrow, which I'll own entirely, and then I'll give you the corresponding shares in the music company in exchange for stock options in my listed company!"

"Give me all the new songs you create, release them under the copyright of my music company, and then you can sing them and I'll pay you a monthly salary!"

"In this way, the copyright of the new song belongs to my music company and has nothing to do with you. Your wife, Su Lin, will naturally not be able to take a single bit of it."

"When it comes to the point of divorce and property division, the only income you'll receive regarding this new song will be the salary I give you every month."

“I can send you two thousand, three thousand, or even one yuan, as long as you’re willing.”

"So if this song becomes a hit, even if it earns millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, your wife won't get a single penny!"

"As for the stock options of my listed company, hehehe, the exercise period for the proceeds of our stock options is set until after your divorce, then they are entirely personal property and will not be subject to division in the divorce!"

When Lin Chu heard Wang Yang's suggestion, her heart skipped a beat.

This method definitely works!

But for Wang Yang, if the song doesn't become popular, it will bring absolutely no benefit; it will be a complete loss, and he will also bear huge risks!

This guy is truly risking his life to help him!

Company stock options differ from company equity. Equity represents a real investment and ownership of shares, which entitles the holder to dividends and profits.

Shares acquired during marriage are considered joint property of the couple and must be divided.

However, options only allow the purchase and sale of company assets at a predetermined low price within a specified price and time frame.

Simply put, options are just a right to buy at a low price; profits can only be generated by buying and selling them.

If Lin Chu receives stock options but does not trade them with Wang Yang during the marriage, then she will not receive any proceeds, and the assets will remain her personal property and will not be subject to division.

And if Wang Yang wants to monopolize the song copyright revenue, he will betray him.

Lin Chu could also use the agreed-upon options to buy or sell shares of Wang Yang's listed company at a low price, thereby obtaining his due income and retaliating against Wang Yang.

This move is equivalent to the two brothers seizing each other's lifeline and binding them tightly together.

Under normal circumstances, this would indeed be a mutually beneficial cooperation method.

But now Lin Chu is desperate and has nothing left.

A completely disadvantaged position.

Wang Yang's suggestion was essentially a way of sacrificing the fate of his own listed company to help his good friend out of a predicament.

Even if it means going bankrupt, I'll make sure my best friend escapes Su Lin's control!

Thinking of this, Lin Chu's initial excitement turned into some hesitation.

"Wang Yang, this is so unfair to you."

"As you know, I've been living off my past achievements all these years. The only song that made me money was my old song 'Growing Old Together.' None of my new songs have ever been hits."

"If you help me like this, you might very well end up losing everything..."

Wang Yang naturally knew Lin Chu's character very well.

Hearing the worry in his words, I simply smiled nonchalantly.

"I'm telling you, have you been manipulated by Su Lin all these years and lost your self-confidence?"

"In my brother's eyes, he's the best singer!"

"I've always admired your talent!"

"The new song is sure to be a huge hit, and the copyright can't fall into Su Lin's hands. Do you want her to continue to control you for the rest of your life?"

"I'm the one who benefits from this method, I'm secretly thrilled."

"As long as you're not afraid that I'll take your copyright and run away, why would I care about those stock options I give you?"

"After your divorce, you can use those stock options to exchange for the music company's copyrights with me. Then your songs will still be your songs, and you'll be completely free!"

"In short, believe me, brother, or not!"

Lin Chu was so moved by Wang Yang's carefree attitude that she was speechless.

In fact, given his past achievements and lack of success, no investor or boss in the Chinese music industry would believe that his new song could be successful.

Even if they bought out the copyright to his new song, no one would be willing to invest in him.

So what Wang Yang said was entirely to encourage him; brothers should help each other without any reason!

Since that's the case, and his brother is so open and honest, he has nothing to hesitate about.

He was confident that the parallel world hit single "Love Transfer," a reward from the system mission, would become a sensation in the music scene and allow him to make a comeback!

I will never let my brothers down!

"Okay, I'll do it!"

"That's settled then, I'll do whatever you say!"

"I'll put together the lyrics and music for the new song tomorrow, record an original version and send it to you. You can handle the music company and copyright matters."

"Don't worry, you're risking the company's fate to help me, and I will definitely not let you down!"

After hearing Lin Chu's words, Wang Yang didn't say anything more.

They immediately discussed the details of sending someone to handle the formalities the next day, then gave a few instructions and hung up the phone.

Lin Chu put down the phone; the water in the bathtub was already filled.

He immediately took a comfortable bath, cleaned himself up, changed into clean pajamas early, and went back to his bedroom to rest.

He needs to complete the tasks assigned by the system.

Go to bed early and get up early, maintain a regular lifestyle, and you should see new task rewards first thing tomorrow morning!

On the other side.

In an effort to make up for the lack of attention she had received earlier, Su Lin sat down for a long talk with the two male guests, Yang Lin and Li Shuang, at the campfire dinner, pouring out her frustrations with her marriage.

They chatted until 3 a.m. before going back to their rooms to rest.

The atmosphere in the live stream was just as she had hoped, with more and more sisters supporting her and speaking up for her.

Sitting on her bed in her room, Su Lin scrolled through online comments, feeling increasingly smug.

"Hmph, public opinion is still on my side."

Just then, a message suddenly flashed on the screen.

Ding-dong!

"Sis, are you asleep?"

"Something else has happened..."

Upon seeing this message, Su Lin, who had just started to feel sleepy, suddenly frowned and immediately made a phone call.

"Hey! What is it now!"

"explain!"
