Chapter 38 Plagiarism
Three days after Zhou Xiwei's live broadcast ended, the box office of "Death for Money" ushered in a small climax, this time it was directed at Zhou Xiwei, thanks to Zhou Xiwei for allowing them to eat.
The industry said that they are used to this phenomenon, and they did not think about surpassing the legend of "Death for Money" in the future.
They can make good movies, but they really can't do anything about metaphysics. "Death for Money" is so popular that it can't be copied at all!
On the first day when "Death for Money" ushered in a small climax at the box office, Zuo Qingyuan took Tang Xu on the high-speed train to Beijing, and went to Fei's headquarters to sign the spokesperson contract.
It only takes half an hour to take the high-speed train from Gaoning City to Beijing, and you can go to Beijing in the morning to sign a contract and return to Gaoning City in the evening.
Tang Xu felt very satisfied after looking at the timetable, packed up his things early in the morning and set off with Zuo Qingyuan.
When the two arrived in Beijing, they went directly to Fei's brand headquarters.
The person in charge who communicated with them was Zheng, the manager of Fei's business department.
The revised contract was sent to Manager Zheng's mailbox yesterday. After reading it, Manager Zheng felt that there was no problem. When Tang Xu and Zuo Qingyuan came over today, the two parties signed the contract efficiently.
Manager Zheng stretched out his hand to Tang Xu, "It's a pleasant cooperation."
Tang Xu shook it lightly, "It's a happy cooperation."
Soon after the contract was signed, it was time for lunch. Manager Zheng proposed that he be the host, and invited Tang Xu and Zuo Qingyuan to have lunch and meet Fei's senior management by the way.
Manager Zheng said with a smile: "Our boss is still interested in Xiao Tang. It is also our boss' intention to sign Xiao Tang as the spokesperson of our brand. He knew that you are coming today, so he asked me to book a hotel. Manager Zuo, you Do you want to show off with little Tang Ken?"
"Of course," Zuo Qingyuan nodded and agreed, "Since it's Mr. Jiang's kindness, Xiao Tang and I will not be disrespectful."
Fei's current helm is named Jiang Lai. He is about 30 years old and handsome. Although he is not in the entertainment industry, he is very active on Weibo, posting some jewelry and selfies he designed from time to time, attracting many fans.
Since he wanted to cooperate with Fei, Zuo Qingyuan naturally got to know Fei, and he also heard about Jiang Lai.
Eating with the partner after signing the contract is also a normal entertainment in the circle. Before the other party clearly shows other purposes, Zuo Qingyuan will not think wildly.
No matter what purpose Jiang Lai wanted to sign Tang Xu as the brand spokesperson, Zuo Qingyuan would only talk about business dealings in the end, and would not let Tang Xu get involved.
Although his own film and television studio has not yet opened, but he is from the Zuo family after all, and he is not afraid of Jiang Lai.
After making an agreement with Manager Zheng, Tang Xu and Zuo Qingyuan came to a five-star hotel in Beijing under the leadership of Manager Zheng. Jiang Lai was long in coming.
Jiang Lai is an internationally renowned jewelry designer. The jewelry he designed has a unique personal style, exquisite and simple, and is highly sought after internationally.
But his dressing aesthetics and design aesthetics are simply heaven and earth.
His designs are fairy designs, and his dressing aesthetics cannot be separated from the word "vulgar".
No matter what type of clothes, he likes to add bulingbuling elements to them, the kind that can blind people's eyes when standing in the sun.
Just like now, when Tang Xu watched Jiang Lai walk into the box, it was as if he saw a beam of warm light coming in.
It was no longer clear what color Jiang Lai was wearing. Tang Xu and Zuo Qingyuan's attention was completely attracted by Jiang Lai's head-to-toe fine diamonds, and their eyes hurt after looking at them for a long time.
Zuo Qingyuan: "..."
It was because he didn't know enough about Jiang Lai, he had no idea that Jiang Lai's private clothes were as bright as the clothes that appeared in public.
As a gold ingot, Tang Xu became a master, he thought he was shining enough, but now seeing Jiang Lai, Tang Xu knew what is beyond others.
Comparing with Jiang Lai, Tang Xu was willing to bow down.
Jiang Lai naturally didn't know what Tang Xu and Zuo Qingyuan were thinking, as soon as he entered the box, his eyes were fixed on Tang Xu.
The sight was very hot, as if it was still glowing.
But it's not like seeing the person you like, but like the poor seeing money, and the traveler in the desert seeing the oasis.
"Tang Xu, that's Tang Xu, right?" Jiang Lai went straight to Tang Xu, held Tang Xu's hand, and his face was full of joy.
Tang Xu pulled his hand out of Jiang Lai's confinement, and took a step back, but still nodded politely to Jiang Lai, "Mr. Jiang, hello."
Jiang Lai stared at Tang Xu for a while, and came to a conclusion: "The real person looks better than the screen..."
He couldn't seem to find an adjective, so he stopped and thought for a while, and finally found a more appropriate one, "extravagant."
"Yes, it's nobleness." It's the kind of nobleness that shines with golden light that I like.
Manager Zheng seemed to be getting used to Jiang Lai's virtue, but he stood up anyway, pulled Jiang Lai to his seat, and then called Zuo Qingyuan and Tang Xu to sit down.
He was also worried about Zuo Qingyuan's misunderstanding, so he explained solemnly, "Mr. Zuo, don't worry, Mr. Jiang doesn't mean anything like that. He's already married, and Mrs. Jiang is very affectionate with Yun..."
Zuo Qingyuan also has eyesight. He has also been in this circle for several years. It is actually easy to see if some people have such thoughts. Obviously, Jiang Lai's love for Tang Xu is Very pure love, just like some people love money, some people love antiques, very pure, without any distracting thoughts.
Zuo Qingyuan can understand without Manager Zheng's explanation.
Manager Zheng was relieved to see that Zuo Qingyuan and Tang Xu had no misunderstanding.
In the next few minutes, Fei's high-level officials came over again. Because Jiang Lai was in charge and because of Zuo Qingyuan, they were all very polite to Tang Xu. the same as their predecessors.
Halfway through the meal, a high-level executive surnamed Yu got up and answered a phone call. After answering the phone, he went directly to talk to Jiang Lai, "Mr. Jiang, I have a friend who happened to be eating at this hotel too. Say you are here and want to come and visit you."
Jiang Lai was easy to get along with, he nodded in agreement, "Let them come over."
When Jiang Lai was talking, he subconsciously put down his chopsticks, and the diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg was shining brightly on his ring finger.
With Jiang Lai's consent, Manager Zheng left the box and came back not long after, followed by two men, one middle-aged and one young.
Coincidentally, these two people, Tang Xu, knew each other, they were Tang Yingke, the father of "Tang Xu", and Tang Qun, the elder brother of "Tang Xu".
As soon as Tang Qun and Tang Yingke walked into the box, Jiang Lai's eyes were first attracted. After all, Jiang Lai's clothes were so shiny that it would be difficult not to notice him.
Before they walked over to Jiang Lai to say hello, they saw Tang Xu sitting beside him eating with his head down.
For some reason, they always felt that under Jiang Lai's radiance, Tang Xu's sense of existence was not concealed, but instead shone with the same light as Jiang Lai.
Regarding Tang Xu, Tang Qun and Tang Yingke also heard about it during this time. They knew that Tang Xu entered the entertainment circle and made a movie.
But they usually don't pay attention to things in the entertainment industry, and they don't know the details.
Tang Xu was originally an illegitimate child, and he had promised not to join the inheritance dispute of the Tang family, so they usually treated him as if he didn't exist, but they didn't expect to see him at Jiang Lai's dinner one day.
That's Jiang Lai, the Tang family lost a lot of connections to meet him.
Senior Yu who recommended them didn't know what they were thinking, so he brought them to Jiang Lai and introduced them, "Mr. Jiang, they are Mr. Tang and Mr. Tang from Gaoning Tang's Jewelry."
"The Tang's jewelry in Gaoning City?" Jiang Lai frowned, "Is it the Tang's jewelry that copied my design and was sued by me?"
The high-level executive surnamed Yu was taken aback. He didn't know about it at all. He just accepted the gift from Tang Yingke and his son to help introduce him.If he had known that Tang's jewelry copied Jiang Lai's design, he would never have accepted it.
"This... this..." The senior executive surnamed Yu was sweating, and couldn't find the words to defend himself for a while.
Tang Yingke finally came to his senses at this moment, and he said eagerly: "Mr. Jiang, we are here today to apologize to you. It was our designer who made the mistake. After we found out that he plagiarized, our Tang Corporation has already done it immediately. All the designer's jewelry has been taken off the shelves, so Mr. Jiang, please have a large amount, and lift your hand to withdraw the lawsuit against Tang Corporation."
As soon as the words finished, he immediately added: "Of course, we Tang Corporation will make up for all Fei's losses."
And once the incident of Fei suing Tang Corporation for plagiarism hits the news, the impact on Tang Corporation will be irreversible.
Tang Yingke didn't want to admit that the so-called plagiarism was just a means of the Tang family's internal struggle, but the damage had already been done, and they must find a way to recover it, otherwise, even if the Tang family ended up in their hands, they would not get any benefits and would instead inherit it. Got a couple of messes.
Jiang Lai had no intention of letting go, his work was plagiarized, and he followed up on the whole process.When he first found out that Tang's jewelry was plagiarized, Jiang Lai had already sent someone to remind Tang that he should remove the plagiarized jewelry, but not only did Tang not remove it, but he even insulted the person who reminded them.
It was because Tang's attitude was too bad that Jiang Lai had no choice but to choose legal means to protect his rights.
Now that I know the consequences are serious, I begged to come to my door. Why did I go so early?
Jiang Lai's tone was very straightforward: "There is no need to discuss this matter, and I don't want any compensation. I just hope that you Tang Corporation can publish an apology in the newspaper."
Tang Yingke was driven into a hurry, but when he saw Tang Xu sitting there eating and drinking like a normal person, he immediately got angry and shouted at Tang Xu: "Tang Xu! You are still sitting and doing something. Well? Hurry up and explain something to Dad and Mr. Jiang."
Tang Xu looked up at him, confused.
fuck me?
Tang Yingke's words successfully attracted the eyes of other people present to Tang Xu, and the high-level executive surnamed Yu also looked at Tang Xu.
It turned out that Tang Yingke's son had already infiltrated them, so why did Tang Yingke ask him for it?Let him lose such a big face in front of Jiang Lai.
The senior executive surnamed Yu gave Tang Yingke and Tang Xun a hard look, and took Tang Xu to heart again.
Almost everyone in the box focused their attention on Tang Xu, wondering what Tang Xu would say.
Even Jiang Lai took the time to stare at Tang Xu, but he didn't expect that Tang Xu had something to do with Tang's jewelry in Gaoning City, so why did Tang Xu agree to be their spokesperson for Fei?
Facing so many scrutinizing eyes, Tang Xu didn't panic at all, he calmly took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, his movements looked very elegant.
The box was very quiet, such quietness seemed to give Tang Xu a sense of oppression.
"First of all, I want to make a statement first," Tang Xu said unhurriedly, "I only know about the plagiarism of Tang's jewelry now. My attitude towards plagiarism is zero tolerance. If I make a mistake, I will be beaten. To accept the corresponding punishment, no matter who it is, it is the same with me."
After getting along with Pei Xingyu for a long time, Tang Xu imitated him and imitated his majestic appearance by [-] to [-]%, which is more than enough to bluff people.
"The second point is that I have already signed a spokesperson contract with Fei, so I have to consider Fei's interests." Tang Xu's voice was resounding, and his attitude was very firm. It seemed that he had no intention of helping Tang Yingke.
After hearing this, Tang Yingke blew his beard and stared, and almost rushed to Tang Xu to slap Tang Xu. If Tang Qun hadn't detected his intention and stopped him in time, Tang Yingke would have rushed over.
That's not a joke for others to see.
Tang Yingke's chest rose and fell, and his voice was full of steaming anger, "Tang Xu, are you still my son?"
"Mr. Tang, let me correct you." Zuo Qingyuan stood up and defended Tang Xu: "Tang Xu is your son, yes, but he is also your illegitimate son. You have not had any contact with each other for three or four years. Now you What right do you have to show your father's prestige in front of Tang Xu? And why do you let Tang Xu do what you say?"
There are some words that Tang Xu is not suitable to say, but it does not mean that his manager will lose his voice. If he should stand up, he should stand up to protect Tang Xu's image.
Tang Xu had just signed a contract with Fei, and Tang Yingke, the so-called father, stood up and asked for this request. How would Fei treat Tang Xu?
So Zuo Qingyuan got up directly and explained the relationship between Tang Yingke and Tang Xu clearly in a few words.
The people present are all good people, so they can understand it naturally.
Naturally they understood.
Oh, it turned out to be an illegitimate child.
If you have nothing to do, you can't get on the stage, but if you have something to do, you can kiss your son.
I understand, everyone present understands.
No wonder Tang Xu was unwilling to help Tang Yingke. From the words "illegitimate child", one can see a relationship of grievance and hatred.
So the eyes of the others on Tang Yingke and Tang Qun became meaningful again. They probably didn't expect Tang Xu to be here before they came in, right?That's why he showed a surprised expression when he came in.
Just now they saw Tang Xu speak so righteously and awe-inspiringly, but they didn't take it seriously, they just thought Tang Xu was flattering Jiang Lai.Now it seems that what should be said is the truth. Perhaps in Tang Xu's eyes, the so-called Tang's jewelry in Gaoning City has nothing to do with him, so naturally there is no need to speak well for them.
Jiang Lai took a deep look at Tang Xu, although he felt that Tang Xu's current appearance looked a little out of character, but he still felt that he liked Tang Xu, no matter how he looked at him, Tang Xu was golden, so cute.
"Don't get excited," Jiang Lai smiled with squinted eyes, told everyone to sit down, and even asked the waiter to prepare the seats for Tang Yingke and Tang Qun, "Let's have a good chat."
After everyone sat down, Jiang Lai propped his chin and asked Tang Yingke: "Mr. Tang, is this your attitude of admitting your mistakes? Don't tell me you are incompetent and furious in front of me, and you want to threaten my spokesperson?"
Jiang Lai's tone was not very serious, it was more like telling the matter in a joking manner, but the people present seemed to feel that the air was frozen, making the atmosphere a bit dull.
Tang Yingke came here today because he saw that Jiang Lai was young and wanted to please Jiang Lai.
But looking at it now, I realize that I was wrong.
It's true that Jiang Lai is young, and he looks more easy-going, but some people's knives are invisible knives, seemingly harmless, but deadly.
Now being stabbed by Jiang Lai, Tang Yingke came to his senses completely. Thinking back to what he had just done, his face turned ashen. face.
He glared at Tang Xu secretly, and when he turned his head to face Jiang Lai, he had a flattering expression on his face again, but the anger on his face did not fade away, so the whole expression looked very ferocious and terrifying.
Tang Yingke didn't realize this problem, his voice was raised and weak, "Mr. Jiang, I didn't mean that, I came here today to sincerely apologize to you..."
"Dad, let's go..."
Tang Qun finally said the first sentence since he came in.
He felt that if he stayed any longer, his face would definitely be lost. Didn't he see that the eyes of other people looking at them were full of jokes?
"Walk……"
Tang Yingke didn't want to leave yet, and was dragged away by Tang Qun.
Tang Qun let go of his father when he was far away from Jiang Lai's and their box, and walked forward dully.
"Why did you pull me out? If you don't get Mr. Jiang's forgiveness, do you really want our brand to be labeled as plagiarism?" Tang Yingke asked with a dark face, if Tang Qun was not his most proud son, He slapped him right now.
Tang Qun was also angry, "Now that you know plagiarism is not good, why did you go earlier?"
The idea of plagiarizing Jiang Lai's works was Tang Yingke's own idea from the beginning to the end. He and the rest of the Tang family wanted to compete for the Tang family's inheritance, but during this time he managed several jewelry stores with poor sales, and it wasn't just him. It should be said that the sales of the several companies under management, it should be said that the sales of the entire Tang's jewelry are in a decline stage.
After conducting a customer survey, a large number of regular customers said that the style of Tang's jewelry is old-fashioned, and they have no desire to buy it.
So Tang Yingke thought carefully and asked his own designer to copy Jiang Lai's design ideas.
In his opinion, the jewelry in every jewelry store is similar, either you copy me or I copy you, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with copying Jiang Lai's idea.
The new products obtained by plagiarism were launched soon, and received unanimous praise from old customers. The sales of the month increased by more than ten percentage points year-on-year.Tang Yingke got a taste of it, and Brother Natural became unscrupulous.
Tang Qun found out about this problem during the period, but seeing the increase in sales and his father becoming more and more prosperous in the Tang family, he didn't say anything, and still took chances - a company as big as Fei would definitely not notice these things little things.
However, a month later, Fei's lawyer's letter was sent to Tang Corporation.
Tang Qun didn't know what was going on at first, he just thought how could a company as big as Fei do such a petty thing?What can't you say well?They didn't say they couldn't take down plagiarized works.
After understanding what happened, Tang Qun fell silent.
It turned out that Fei had discovered the plagiarism of Tang's jewelry very early on and reminded her a long time ago, but his father didn't take it seriously. After all, he had sucked too much blood from the plagiarism and didn't want to let go.
Fei did everything she should have done, but Tang showed no sign of repentance, so she couldn't bear it anymore and took Tang to court.
As long as Tang Yingke did his homework before plagiarism, he knew how much Fei could not tolerate the existence of plagiarism. They had sued many jewelry companies for plagiarizing Jianglai Creative Point, and in the end they either removed the plagiarized products under Fei's warning, or lost the lawsuit. , One-stop apology and compensation.
Everyone knows that Fei's design is good and sells well, but few people copy and imitate it, because they were afraid of being beaten by Fei before, and they dare not make any wrong thoughts.
Tang Yingke has worked in the jewelry industry for many years, but he can still hit him head-on, he is simply stupid and bad.
Facing the current situation, Tang Qun's bowels were cleared with regret.
His grandfather Tang Jingsheng still doesn't know about this matter. If his grandfather finds out, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
Tang Qun's face was pale, he lowered his head and left quickly without looking at Tang Yingke again.
But he has already figured it out in his heart, maybe he can go to Tang Xu later and ask Tang Xu to come forward to help him.
Of course, he won't let Tang Xu work for nothing. Didn't grandpa wholeheartedly want Tang Xu and Pei Xingyu to divorce and go home to inherit Xiangfeng Tower?At that time, he can help him, so that he can inherit Xiangfenglou without divorce.
Tang Qun left one step ahead, but he didn't see his father standing there with a gloomy face, with a calculating gleam in his eyes.
Not long after, he took out his mobile phone and asked someone to find him a marketing account that broke the news, and he sent a message directly to the marketing account.
Tang Yingke: I want to break the news. I saw with my own eyes that Tang Xu was taken care of by Fei's chairman, Jiang Lai. Now they are in XX Hotel. You can get the first-hand news when you come here!
Doesn't the entertainment industry value fame?He wanted to see how Tang Xu would take Joe in front of him after his reputation became rotten.
Besides, Tang Xu can become Fei's spokesperson, is it really in vain?Anyway, Tang Yingke didn't believe it.
Breaking news number: who are you?
Breaking news number: Is it the right company?
Tang Yingke: No, I'm just an ordinary person who wants to provide you with information.
Breaking news number: We have no grievances in the past and have no grievances in the present, can you leave me alone?
Exploding Tang Xu's material?They are not stupid, no matter whether the speculation is true or not, they must be the ones who suffer in the end. With so many bloody examples before, it is impossible for them to repeat the same mistakes. The man Xu Shaoming can't get rid of, their marketing Can the number be lowered?
Just a joke.
Although this revelation was not made public, it was in the hands of a man.
The man was dressed in a neat suit and looked handsome. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the chains on the glasses swayed slightly with his movements.
He looked at the news, twitched the corners of his lips, and gave a slight snort.
Then, he got up gracefully and walked towards the door.
Jiang Lai, who was in the hotel, suddenly sneezed, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart.
The author has something to say: I was so stupid that I cried TAT
I will take my family to the hospital for an examination tomorrow, the update should still be at night, and I will ask for leave if I have something to do.
