"Second brother, we'll do whatever you say!" Shen Nansheng waved his hand dismissively, too lazy to think.
“Should we sue them? We have a legitimate reason to do so, and we can immediately hire the best lawyers to file a lawsuit!” Lou Chunyue said.
Chu Yang nodded and pondered, "A lawsuit is necessary, but it's not enough for just us. We need the support of the major record companies behind us. The bigger the commotion, the better. That's one point."
"Secondly, Baidu will definitely argue that they only provide search technology, and that is partly true. The real culprits are the thousands of music piracy websites. Once these websites are shut down, Baidu won't be able to cause any trouble."
"But we cannot let them lead us astray from our case. We must stick to our guns. Although they only provided the technology and not the content, they still profited from that technology, so they must take responsibility!"
"There is a third point, which is the most important one, and we will need your help, brother."
"Second brother, please speak freely!" Shen Nansheng said boldly.
"Do you know anyone at the National Copyright Administration, brother?" Chu Yang asked.
"The Copyright Bureau?" Shen Nansheng thought for a moment and said, "No, but if I want to have one, I can!"
"It still has to be the eldest brother," Chu Yang thought to himself.
God knows how many things his older brother hasn't told him yet. In short, there's nothing he can't handle, from high-ranking officials to street thugs.
If there's a cheat code in being reborn, it's not photographic memory, but this reliable older brother.
Although Diao'er is a playboy, his protection of Chu Yang is absolutely reliable.
"Then what do you do after you find the person?" Shen Nansheng asked.
"Copyright order!" Chu Yang spoke slowly, tapping the table lightly with his hand. "I will write a report outlining the various negative impacts of pirated music, the consequences if it is not curbed, and the cunning and despicable tactics of Baidu, and then..."
"As long as the government is willing to clean up the internet, Baidu will face a lack of resources. At the same time, we have joined forces with seven major record companies to appeal, and public opinion is overwhelming. We believe that after this battle, Kuma Music will become the most well-known legal music platform in China."
What he wants to do is to bring forward the "music copyright order" that was not officially launched until 2010.
The first decade saw rampant piracy of physical records, while the next decade saw rampant piracy of digital music, making the domestic music market a mess.
"I hope that what I'm doing can clean up the slang and popular language in Chinese. Besides making money, it's also a good deed," Chu Yang thought to himself.
And so the matter was settled.
After the meeting, Chu Yang immediately began writing a proposal.
Lou Chunyue began contacting the legal departments of major record companies, while Shen Nansheng, with his legs crossed, made phone calls to call for help.
Meanwhile, in an office at Baidu's headquarters, founder Li Yanhong was discussing with his team how to optimize the MP3 search engine.
Did they know it was a gray area? Yes, they did, but they still decided to take the risk.
Little did they know that the sword that would fall many years later was already hanging silently over their heads.
In the evening, Chu Yang finished writing the report, printed it out, and handed it to Shen Nansheng.
Shen Nansheng had already selected the right people; even the highest-ranking official from the Copyright Bureau had been chosen.
He skipped dinner immediately, even leaving the French girl behind, and headed straight for Kyoto.
"Big Brother is so decisive and efficient, a role model for us all," Chu Yang exclaimed, then stared at the French girl.
"...Kenyou Sibi Cai Ni Si?" he asked tentatively.
The French girl made a gesture and spoke in fluent Mandarin: "Just a little bit."
Chu Yang: "...!"
Wow, that's impressive! He managed to snag a French girl who's been translated into Chinese.
"What's your name?"
“Mary.”
Communication is no longer a problem; now we need to consider how to arrange resettlement.
Just then, Shen Li called, angrily asking why she hadn't made plans with her after coming back.
“Something came up at the company, and your dad, my older brother, brought some of your distant relatives over. It would be good if you could come and help take care of them. I’m a man, so it’s not convenient for me.”
"A distant relative, and a woman?"
"Yes, from France."
"...It really is quite far!"
Shen Li arrived in a hurry, and was momentarily stunned when she saw Mary, who was only a few years older than her.
"I didn't know I had such a relative."
"Just ask your dad." Chu Yang wasn't about to reveal his identity; he'd let his older brother explain it himself.
So Xiaoli called her dad, but his phone was switched off.
"I guess they're on the plane," Chu Yang said.
"Then I'll ask my mom." Little Pear prepared to dial the number again.
Chu Yang quickly stopped him: "You can't let your mother know about this."
Little Pear blinked: "Why? Aren't my relatives my mom's relatives too?"
"Ah, this..." Chu Yang didn't know how to explain it.
At this moment, Mary chuckled and said in a crisp voice, "I am Brother Shen's lover."
Brother Chen! My lover! ...I just said it out loud!
Chu Yang was afraid that Xiao Lizi would overreact and use a Heavenly Blade Whirlwind Kick on her.
But she just said "oh" as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, and then scolded Chu Yang, "You should have said so earlier! You made me guess all along, really."
Chu Yang: "...!"
Little Pear took Mary's hand and said affectionately, "Let's go, Aunt Mary, I'll take you to eat!"
Mary smiled and said, "So you're Brother Shen's daughter. You're so beautiful! But I'd be even happier if you could call me 'sister'!"
Little Pear sweetly said, "Sister Mary!"
"Hey!" Mary laughed so hard she couldn't stop.
Chu Yang: "..."
She was completely disoriented. She called everyone "Aunt Mary" and "Sister Mary" so naturally. It seems that Little Pear is already used to Old Shen's philandering and doesn't resist it at all.
Ultimately, your elder brother is still your elder brother, a role model for us all!
Chu Yang followed her out of the company, and on the way, he couldn't help but pull Xiao Lizi aside and quietly ask her a question.
"Your older brother and your father are such promiscuous people, don't you and your mother mind?"
“At first my mom was against it, but later she let him have his way, saying that if you can’t control him, you might as well let him go. Fortunately, my dad is family-oriented and didn’t have any younger siblings for me outside the marriage.”
"Wow... So what about you? You don't mind?"
"I don't mind."
Hearing this, Chu Yang felt much more at ease.
Okay, okay, you don't mind, right? The groundwork has been laid!
“…He’s my mom’s husband, not my husband,” Little Pear continued.
Chu Yang tentatively asked, "What if it were your husband..."
"I mind!" Little Pear's eyes were fierce, and she even wanted to unleash a Heavenly Blade Whirlwind Kick.
