Chapter 686 Changes in Chinese Heritage, Jin Hua's Departure

At the same time, it's not just about pirated CDs and books; online piracy has also begun to take action, this time targeting not only piracy but also pornographic websites.

The above means that since action is being taken, it should be a severe and decisive crackdown. Immediately, public opinion was divided, not for any other reason than the teachers, with university students becoming the main target of criticism.

What did the teachers do wrong? Why did they do this? We can't afford those clubs, massage parlors, or "big health" services; we rely on their guidance, working late into the night to achieve our dreams. And now you've stopped our classes! We have nowhere to learn anymore! How are we supposed to sleep?!

PBC University.

"Third brother, third brother, wake up! Get up!!! Wake up, get up now, something terrible has happened!!!"

Still half asleep, Zhang Hao stared blankly at his sons rushing around in the dormitory: "What's wrong? Why are you all in such a hurry? Was there an earthquake?"

The eldest brother rolled his eyes: "This is Beijing, not your Chongqing. Get up quickly. There's a crackdown on porn sites everywhere online. Several of our learning centers are already showing 404 errors. Get up quickly and download the resources, or you won't be able to watch them later."

"Holy crap!!!" Zhang Hao immediately stood up, wearing only his shorts, and went to his computer. This was far more serious than an earthquake.

Zhang Hao hurriedly opened his laptop, clicked on the browser's bookmarks, and found a top-tier figure in this field. Over his three years of university, he had collected nearly a hundred websites, all of them high-definition and uncensored, including Japanese, Korean, and Western sites, featuring everything from bestiality to other adult content.

He opened the first website, which was also Zhang Hao's favorite cat website. He had been using this website for several years without any problems, and the update speed was fast. He secretly prayed that it wouldn't go crazy. Ten seconds passed, and the website page was blank, showing a 404 error. Zhang Hao refreshed it twice, but it was still a 404 error.

"Damn it!!! ...

Then came the second, the third, the fourth—none escaped. Zhang Hao slumped into his chair, lit a cigarette, and sat there blankly for a long time, unable to calm down. Gone! All gone! My study materials are all gone!!!

At this moment, Zhang Hao felt that life was utterly bleak.

"Damn you, what the hell did that?!"

At this moment, a series of horrific screams erupted from the boys' dormitory!

"Third brother, third brother, this king123.com, you can go in now, quickly take out your hard drive and fill it up, fill it up for us!!!!!!!!!"

"Where? Where???" Zhang Hao cried out anxiously, as if he had seen a last straw. Seeing that the website was still running normally, he quickly pulled out his 2TB hard drive and started downloading. These would be invaluable learning materials in the future!

No way!!! This is his secret weapon to getting rich!!! Two yuan each, minimum order of 10. There are at least 5000 boys in the school. Zhang Hao did some preliminary calculations and found a very risky path...

Inside the office of the Chinese-American CEO.

"Brother, isn't this CEO Shen a bit too arrogant? He's caused such a stir over just one movie," Wang Zhonglei said, somewhat wary.

Wang Zhongjun nodded: "It is indeed a bit excessive, but it is a good thing for us. In the future, everyone will only be able to watch movies in the cinema, and the copyright price will also increase significantly. We can also sell the copyrights we previously had for a good price. This is a good thing, and we should support it."

Wang Zhonglei nodded: "Understood, it's all about cheering and encouragement, I'll handle that. I'm just worried..."

Wang Zhongjun smiled: "Little brother, they've already reached that level, we definitely can't afford to offend them. But President Shen isn't the kind of person who hoards everything, and it's impossible to hoard everything in this industry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep China Film Group with him all this time. They've even collaborated with us before, and Bona Film Group has helped distribute quite a few films. Besides, what's most important in the film industry? Quality speaks for itself. Whoever has good works has the power. Right now, Longteng has Zhang Yimou, so they have a voice. But how many films can Zhang Yimou make in a year? Can Longteng live off Zhang Yimou for a lifetime? As long as we sign more capable directors and make more good works, we'll eventually rise to the top. We can't beat Longteng now, but we'll have plenty of opportunities later. Don't rush things; temporary glory doesn't mean anything."

Wang Zhonglei nodded: "Understood, brother. Let that guy surnamed Chen have his moment in the spotlight for a couple more days."

Wang Zhongjun smiled without saying a word, and said no more. Shen Fang's glory was just a matter of a couple of days. Once he reached that level of wealth, making movies was just a hobby for him. Even if we surpassed Longteng, we would never reach Shen Fang's level. My silly brother.

"By the way, brother, Wang Jinhua has been acting a bit strange lately."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongjun let out a cold laugh: "She's been acting strangely for a long time."

Wang Zhonglei stared at Wang Zhongjun's expression in surprise: "Brother, you already knew?"

Just as Wang Zhongjun was about to say something, the door suddenly opened. There stood Wang Jinhua.

Wang Zhonglei looked at Wang Jinhua with some annoyance, and felt even more ashamed and indignant at being caught talking behind someone's back, saying, "President Wang, aren't you being a little too rude?!"
