Xing Baohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this era, investigative technology was still limited. Forensic autopsy reports were supported by law, and the factory only needed to pay some money according to relevant regulations to get it over with.
As for the footprints left after climbing over the wall, the police investigated briefly, and since nothing was stolen from the factory, the matter was dropped.
The processing plant was advised to increase security measures if necessary.
With no major incidents, Xing Baohua was relieved and went to JD.com. Meanwhile, Niu Jishan and Xu Shuai had already returned to Shanghai.
Upon returning to JD.com, Xing Baohua immediately got to work.
The HK team has already thoroughly investigated RB's record company. The investment department has also joined in to discuss the digital version.
They're talking about everything related to RB's movies, songs, and animations.
The copyright term is 20 years. Xing Baohua calculated that in 20 years, multimedia will only just be getting started.
We should at least buy a 40-year copyright. Otherwise, we'll be stuck with this money for over a decade before we even start to make a profit.
We should intensify our negotiations, and even try to negotiate a package deal.
They bundled all those film and television companies, record companies, and comic book companies together for a fixed price.
However, Xing Baohua had an agreement signed regarding the copyrights for films, songs, and other content following 1985, extending to 1995. In other words, the copyrights for the next ten years, as long as they were within a fixed price, would automatically be allocated to Hainan Huaxing Entertainment Company.
The copyright period is still 40 years for automatic production.
People in Hong Kong know about Huaxing, but not about Haina Huaxing. It turns out that Haina Huaxing is a new company jointly invested in by Huaxing and others.
But this is the first time I've heard of an electronic version, and I don't know what it's for. Some people are cautious, while others want to make money from it.
Only content that can be played or downloaded on a computer qualifies as an electronic version.
Try consulting with companies that manufacture electronics! Can a computer play movies or songs?
Tell them unanimously that it's impossible; there's simply no room for it, and even if there were, the cost would be too high. A single external hard drive could cost as much as several boxes of cassette tapes, dozens of videotapes, or dozens of CDs.
This put the Japanese at ease, meaning that the Hong Kong people had money to burn and were just buying useless things.
Digital copyright is not a physical object. If it were a physical object, it could just sit in a warehouse collecting dust. But with digital things, they don't even get dusty; they're all just digital codes!
The Japanese are very shrewd; they always ask for exorbitant prices.
The package price they quoted was over a million US dollars.
Xing Baohua's money didn't come from thin air. Xing Baohua instructed the investment department to negotiate slowly and keep the price below 100,000.
Of course, it also depends on the overall types and quantities of inventory.
If it's a few hundred songs, a few thousand dollars will suffice.
Who wouldn't want to take advantage of a cheap deal?
Xing Baohua wasn't in a hurry and took his time talking.
The day after I returned to JD.com, I started talking to the merchants who came to act as agents.
Xing Baohua stopped charging any agency fees and quickly disposed of all the fraudulent goods in his possession.
Of the dozen or so merchants, only three can act as agents.
And they didn't eat it all; they ate half and will order more depending on sales.
Cash on delivery was Xing Baohua's only bottom line. The other party wanted to bring in sales staff—there was no such thing as a free lunch. After several rounds of negotiations, they still stuck with cash on delivery.
This matter was handed over to a shell company to handle, who would coordinate with Yang Jing and ship the goods.
Having finished these tasks, Xing Baohua prepared to return home, but since he was carrying important data, he had to take a detour.
Go back to Hong Kong first, then back to mainland China.
The disguised electronic products also passed through smoothly, thanks to the relatively lax inspections of this era; the X-ray equipment used for the inspections was probably not very advanced.
The fact that the shipped items weren't called in for inspection is a victory in itself.
On the entry application form, Xing Baohua truthfully listed the electronic products: a game console, a laptop, and several floppy disks.
These items are very common; tourists bring them in every day. Since the quantities are small, they pass through customs smoothly.
When Xing Baohua landed at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, the heart that had been in her throat finally settled down.
Stepping into Hong Kong is equivalent to stepping into our homeland. Although we are under the jurisdiction of others, it is much easier to return to our home country through various channels.
Xing Baohua needs to relax and rest in Hong Kong. Back in Japan, she's always on edge, afraid something might happen.
Okay! I'm definitely not cut out for petty theft; I'll avoid doing this kind of thing in the future.
He was relaxing in his spacious villa, being pampered by the little devil.
I didn't want to work when I came to Hong Kong. Anyway, there are professional managers who can handle everything. Wouldn't I be working myself to death like Zhuge Liang?
Have the little fairy invite her friends over for a small party at home, and have the secretary contact a restaurant that will be outsourced.
The little fairy told Xing Baohua that she was being chased by two men, not just one.
Xing Baohua smiled slightly and didn't care. It would be strange if a little vixen with such outstanding beauty didn't attract suitors.
Only about seven or eight people knew about their relationship.
The little fairy also complained, "I told the guys who were pursuing me that I have a boyfriend, and he sends me flowers every day."
"Isn't sending flowers good enough? I've never sent you any before!"
"It's different! I get annoyed just seeing those flowers," the little fairy continued to complain.
"What kind of people are pursuing you?" Xing Baohua said with a grin. He was also very curious about the strength of his love rivals.
"Last time, Sister Chen arranged for me to be a guest on a TV program. One of the young actors was also a guest. After we met, she kept inviting me to dinner and even sent me flowers."
actor?
You need some real ability to poach someone from another company!
"What about the other one?"
"He's a rich kid. I heard his father's pretty famous; he's written a few very popular books?"
"What's your surname? Do you know?" Upon hearing the name of a certain writer's son, Xing Baohua vaguely felt that it matched the description of a certain playboy.
