"What the hell? They even registered the company legally?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Neither the original owner nor myself have ever paid any attention to the issue of copyright.

It may be because neither of them had ever thought that one day Changhong Funeral would grow to its current scale.

I didn't expect that something like trademark and copyright could be taken advantage of by someone first.

But this cannot be blamed on the two's carelessness. Normally, funeral homes rarely have registered trademarks.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Fan decided to use "civilized" means to resolve the matter.

"When did it happen? Can the legal representative of the company be contacted?"

"I can't get in touch with him. I looked up his mobile number online, but I can't get through."

Li Xiaohui shook her head and continued to explain:

"Everything involving copyright has been registered by someone else."

"I also asked someone to find out, these legal persons have changed many times."

"The registration time was probably around the time when you first became popular online. The trademarks and other things were basically registered by fans for fun."

"But later, after you dominated the online charts, our Changhong Funeral Company became more and more famous. Then some profit-seeking people bought it at a high price and started to open branches under your name."

"They have a mature operating method and have even opened businesses overseas. I did a simple count and found that there are about 3,000 funeral homes under the name Changhong Funeral Service."

"It is generally acknowledged online that no one dares to impersonate you, and the other party took advantage of this loophole to bluff and defraud people, so much so that..."

"To the extent that all the current branch owners thought they were joining the genuine Changhong Funeral Company, and the scammers even posted a statement in the group that as long as their performance reached a certain level, they could attend the study session you are going to hold next month."

"Now, both users and branch owners are kept in the dark. Piracy has deceived everyone."

"Moreover, they also imitated your tone and left announcements of Changhong Funeral Promotion in the comment section. Now the one with the most fans has two million. Fans think that no one dares to imitate you, so they subconsciously think that this is authorized by you."

"Wow... there's really something here..."

After hearing Li Xiaohui's explanation, Zhang Fan seemed extremely surprised and a little unhappy.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with fans registering a trademark for entertainment. It's just a hoax.

They are all our fans, so it is acceptable.

But this person really went a bit too far.

It’s okay to learn your own method, but you can’t turn the genuine product into a pirated one!

However, since their actions are reasonable and legal, it would be a bit difficult for us to use legal weapons.

Zhang Fan has heard of many situations like this.

Some stores have been in business for 10 to 20 years, and suddenly their trademarks are registered by someone else. If they want them back, they have to pay to buy them.

Although it's a bit outrageous, that's the rule and there will always be people who can find loopholes.

In special circumstances, you can only take special measures.

But speaking of it, opening more branches may not necessarily be a bad thing.

After all, in their perception, they are the authentic ones.

As long as he could get back the legal copyright, these branches would open all over the world in no time.

After thinking it through, Zhang Fan slowly said:

"Don't worry about this anymore. I'll figure it out myself."

"By the way, remember to push the one with two million followers over to me so I can go in and see what's going on."

"Okay boss."

Li Xiaohui nodded slightly, then turned and went back to the counter.

At this time, Wang Kai asked with interest:

"Boss, piracy has come to our head. What are you going to do? If you don't have any ideas, just leave the job to me."

"you?"

Zhang Fan glanced at Wang Kai and shook his head, saying, "Brother Kai, forget it. I would rather call Wang Teng than leave it to you."

"There have been a lot of supernatural incidents recently. Even the Dragon Science Institute has been alarmed. Please don't cause panic among the people by doing anything else."

“Haha, that’s not the case.” Wang Kai laughed: “Actually, I’m a very cautious person. It’s mainly because I’m really bored recently.”

"No, I'll figure it out on my own."

Wang Kai still wanted to fight for it, but Zhang Fan decisively refused and then asked:

"By the way, Brother Yong and Brother Kai, many people have told me recently that supernatural events have been happening more and more frequently. Have you two noticed this?"

"One thing. In fact, there were only so many in the past, but the evil spirits have become more rampant recently, so no one cares." Wang Kai spread his hands.

"I haven't felt it yet. I seldom go out at night." Zhao Yong explained truthfully.

"I see. Then..."

“…”

Zhang Fan and the other two discussed the topic of strange resuscitation in detail for nearly an hour.

In addition to the glorious security guard Zhao Feng standing at the door, Li Xiaohui and Wang Teng at the front desk all pricked up their ears and heard everything clearly.

During the chat, Zhang Fan also mentioned his idea of ​​taking the last bus on Route 13 in the evening.

After hearing this, Wang Kai immediately pulled Zhao Yong over and said that they wanted to go together tonight.

Zhang Fan did not refuse, even though he learned a lot from them.

But while he was learning, the system was also constantly strengthening the strength of the two of them, and there were still many areas where they still needed to ask for advice.

Of course, the most important thing is practical experience.

…

at the same time.

Huangjia Village.

The originally isolated small village became the focus of everyone's attention because of a video clip shot by Xiao Huang.

As a result, the small scenic spots nearby also became popular.

Because the villagers of Huangjia Village have only started to live longer in recent decades, people from nearby villages have always been skeptical.

This time it suddenly became popular on the Internet, and folks came over out of curiosity.

Countless people were trying to get in to find out what was going on, and a large amount of news began to flow into the village.

There are all kinds of news like someone is willing to help build hospitals, schools, develop tourism, etc. for free.

At first, the villagers thought these were rumors.

But it was not until the heads of major companies came to the village that they gradually began to believe.

Compared to the sudden attention from all sides, the villagers were more curious about where the news came from.

The people in the village have always been very low-key and never do any publicity outside.

This kind of thing happened suddenly, and the village chief must find out the reason.

After issuing dozens of eviction orders and sealing the only entrance to the village, the villagers finally got together to discuss the cause of the incident.

The moment the truth comes out.

Xiao Huang was stripped naked and hung up.

"Rebellious son! He is rebelling against Tian Gang!"

Xiao Huang's old father wielded the whip himself, showing no mercy.

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

After a few whips, Xiao Huang's body turned red and he screamed in pain.

"Ah! Uh~ Dad, Dad!"

"My dear old father, please don't hit me! I just want to have a feast, what have I done wrong!"

"I won't hit you, my dear son. I can't fucking kill you!"

Old Huang was almost angry to death on the spot, and he whipped the man hard with the whip right away.

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

"What feast are you looking for? I'm alive and well, but you're looking forward to it every day. Are you crazy?!"

“Bang!”

"You're still begging the King of Hell to call you. You don't even care about the reputation of the whole village, right?!"

“Bang!”

"Today I will beat you to death, you beast!"

"You want to have a feast, right? Tomorrow I will invite the whole village to a feast!"

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

"Oh! Oh, stop it! Stop it!"

“Ugh!”

“…”

Ten minutes later, Lao Huang was already exhausted and out of breath.

Xiao Huang himself was covered in bruises and was nearly beaten to death on the spot. He didn't even have the strength to wail.

"Dashan, stop hitting him. You might hurt the child!"

"Yes, Dashan, that's enough. Let's focus on education."

"Children are ignorant and talk nonsense. Just remember it!"

Seeing this, the onlookers began to dissuade them.

When they first learned the news that Xiao Huangzhu and the others had died, everyone was very angry and thought that they deserved a good beating.

But they are all from the same village. They have watched Xiao Huang grow up and see his skin torn apart, and the villagers feel bad too.

Similarly, Old Huang felt heartbroken at this moment, after all, this was his own son.

However, it would be unacceptable not to give the person a good lecture after doing such a thing.

In Huangjia Village, not to mention young people in their early twenties, even parents in their forties would be hung up and beaten if they made a mistake.

The only thing that made Lao Huang feel bad was that the villagers called for a stop too late, and he almost broke a whip.

"No, this kid is too messy, he must be beaten to death today!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Dashan, stop talking so much. They are our own children and we feel bad for them too. That's enough. Let them go!"

"No, this kid won't learn his lesson unless he's beaten half to death!"

"Dashan, I am the village chief after all. Please give me some face and put the child down. Let's go out and talk about something. Tell me what you think about the transformation of our village."

"Village Chief, since you said so, I must give you face!"

After some "social etiquette", Old Huang finally let Little Huang go.

"There are medicines at home, go back and reflect on yourself!"

"Hey, that's right, Xiaolong, go to your cousin's house and ask him to apply some medicine for you. Don't go home for the next two days. Your father didn't even dare to tell your mother about this."

“…”

Huang Xiaolong ran out of the house and ran all the way, his destination was exactly his cousin's house as the villagers said.

My cousin is a famous little doctor in the village.

The reason why the village has been able to live longer over the years is because of my cousin's family.

Although my cousin's father has seen through the world and become a monk, his current medical skills are more than enough.

Over the years, if anyone in the village had a headache, fever, or other physical discomfort, they would just find my cousin and he would cure them within two days.

Just last year, an old man in the village died before he reached 100 years old, but his cousin brought him back to life.
