Suing Blue Whale for plagiarism is not a small lawsuit. Hiring other lawyers will also cost a lot of money. This money must be earned by Senior Brother Zheng!
Let Brother Zheng improve his financial foundation while he is still young. Maybe he will go bald slower in the future?
Yuan Fenghui immediately called Zheng Zhihe and asked him to come over.
Having a lawsuit means making money, and Zheng Zhihe said he would definitely be there within half an hour!
Zheng Zhihe hadn't arrived yet. Yuan Fenghui pulled out a small box from a drawer. "I heard you've received your acceptance letter. I went to Shanghai on a business trip last week and picked out a gift for you. Congratulations on getting into university, and also on entering the adult world."
"I'm so sorry..."
Wen Ying was indeed embarrassed.
Because the sales volume of "Xun Yong" has not exceeded 2 million copies, Yuan Fenghui has not received any commission after helping Wen Ying to sign the publishing contract.
I didn't get the commission, I did a lot of work, and I still had to pay for a gift for Wen Ying. Even someone as shameless as Wen Ying would feel embarrassed.
Yuan Fenghui raised her eyebrows: "Really?"
Then you still have to take it.
Wen Ying opened the box and found a watch inside.
Wen Ying was familiar with this brand. The watch was not inlaid with diamonds and the dial was not special. It was just an entry-level basic model. The price was not cheap, but not so expensive that it would make Wen Ying feel psychologically pressured.
Wen Ying no longer had any psychological burden, and all she felt was the joy of receiving gifts.
Without waiting for Yuan Fenghui to urge her, Wen Ying put the watch on her wrist, looked at it left and right, and was very satisfied.
"Thank you, Teacher Yuan, I like it very much~"
"Just like it. It's not a particularly expensive watch. Wear it for fun."
It’s not that Yuan Fenghui can’t afford a more expensive watch, it’s just that there’s no need.
It was the middle of summer, and Zheng Zhihe was still wearing a shirt and trousers when he came over, with sweat all over his forehead.
"You're finally going to sue Blue Whale."
Zheng Zhihe also felt that this lawsuit was a business that he could not escape, but he waited for a long time and almost thought that Wen Ying did not want to fight this lawsuit.
Why fight now?
Of course it’s because the TV series “The Crown of Thorns” is about to be completed.
Director Fan tipped off Yuan Fenghui that now was the best time. According to the contract, Hunan Satellite TV had to invest another 5 million yuan in "Crown of Thorns", but Director Fan was dragging his feet and not giving it. As long as Wen Ying started a lawsuit, Hunan Satellite TV could immediately save the 5 million yuan it was supposed to pay.
Not only does Director Fan not have to pay any money, he can even sue General Manager Guan for breach of contract and make a profit from him. He is so happy.
Zheng Zhihe asked Wen Ying how much she wanted to claim. Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui looked at each other, and Yuan Fenghui gestured to Wen Ying to tell her herself.
Wen Ying thought for a moment and said, "Then let's claim 5 million."
"puff--"
Zheng Zhihe almost choked on his own saliva.
"Blue Whale hasn't even earned 5 million in royalties from 'The Crown of Thorns,' and you want her to pay 5 million?"
Zheng Zhihe has a girlfriend who works in a publishing group. He is quite familiar with the publishing industry. He knows that there are very few domestic writers who can get 15% royalties, and Blue Whale's royalties should be less than 15%.
The first print run of "The Crown of Thorns" was 600,000 copies, and there has been no news of any reprinting so far. Based on 600,000 copies, even if the royalties are 15%, the royalties received by Blue Whale will not exceed 3 million!
Wen Ying disapproved. "Lawyer Zheng, how can you be a lawyer like that? Are you trying to save money for the defendant? Whether she made 5 million is none of my business. I'm calculating the economic losses caused to me by her plagiarism. If it weren't for The Crown of Thorns, my Star River and You might have sold 600,000 more copies. Blue Whale stole my readership by plagiarizing, and then sold the film and television rights by plagiarizing. Add it all up, is 5 million too much for her to ask for?"
By this calculation, 5 million is indeed not a lot, after all, the film and television rights of "The Crown of Thorns" have also been sold.
Besides, if a claim of 5 million is made, the court will definitely bargain it down, and the final compensation may be 2 million. This lawsuit will make Zheng Zhihe famous!
As for whether Blue Whale has the money to compensate Wen Ying, and how much money it has to pay Mr. Guan for ruining the film and television project of the same name, what does it have to do with Wen Ying?
It’s not like Wen Ying pressed Blue Whale’s head and forced Blue Whale to plagiarize!
After finalizing the lawsuit with Zheng Zhihe, Wen Ying called Xie Qian.
Not knowing what Xie Qian was busy with, Wen Ying heard someone calling "Mr. Xie" on the other end of the phone.
“…Hahaha, are you that old?”
Wen Ying teased him a few times, but Xie Qian was not angry.
No matter what Wen Ying said, Xie Qian would listen patiently. Xie Qian did not hang up the phone, and the group of people around Xie Qian waited patiently.
Finally, Xie Qian finished the call and motioned for the other party to continue.
The good-looking brand manager said with a subtle envy in her tone, "Mr. Xie, whoever receives this gift from you will definitely be very happy."
What’s the point of having money?
There are so many rich people in Shanghai!
He is rich and handsome, and more importantly, he cares so much about the person receiving the gift. He revised the design three times. Later, when he saw that the designer here couldn't understand his idea, he simply drew a design himself and sent it to him... This is really rare!
The design drawings are amazing, and after being produced according to Xie Qian's drawings, the finished product is also amazing.
The brand also wanted to buy the style in return, but Xie Qian naturally refused.
The brand manager asked Xie Qian why, and Xie Qian said calmly, "Because the recipient is special to me, I don't want to see the same style being worn by others. Is this idea difficult to understand?"
