Riding the wind of rebirth

"Isn't Guan Dabin the vice president of Heheng Supermarket?" Director Hu felt a little strange: "Why do you want to open another one?"

"It's better to understand it this way. The previous one was putting on airs and waiting for someone to come to the door." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Now this one is going to the neighborhood to serve the people."

"You sold this theory to the Hong Kong businessman? Did it succeed?" This kind of "nonsensical" idea, Director Hu, knew it was thoughtful without thinking: "Educate capitalists to serve the people?"

Director Hu came from the Department of Cultural Affairs, and he still carried some of the nobility left by today's cultural people. Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Let's put it another way, since they can sell everything for profit, as long as they give him profit, can they promote other people's interests?" Do everything, including serving the people?"

"Eh, this..." This conclusion is very strange, but it is also logical. It is wrong for Director Hu to not be able to find it for a while.

Zhang Yuanfu took out two boxes and opened one of them: "Elbow, we have copied the book. We have also repaired and bound your original version, please check it."

After speaking, he opened another one: "This is a reprinted version of the textbook, and we will send you a set."

"Thank you." Zhou Zhi smiled and opened his set of "Chinese Famous Dishes Collection", and found that the booklet had been disassembled before, presumably for the convenience of laying professional equipment during the shooting, and then repaired the middle seam and re-bound it , a title page was added, and a special cover of hard shell paper was added outside the cover. It can be said that the repair is very perfect.

Opened another set, and found that the quality of the pictures in the book retains the quality of the original book, but the pictures are smaller to maintain clarity and more text content, but the introduction of the dishes in the new book is much richer , the most important thing is to have a simple method description.

In other words, this is no longer the "Chinese Famous Dishes Collection" compiled by the islanders, but the "Chinese Famous Dishes Recipes Collection", which has undoubtedly brought about a great increase in the value of the book.

"It's not easy, isn't this book cheap?" Zhou Zhi is now an expert in book printing, and his set of "Sichuan Taste" is actually the same with clear pictures, and the production cost of the book is quite high.

"This book is a major project in our hall, and now it can be regarded as the completion of merit and virtue." Director Hu said: "The set I gave you is a hardcover plastic edition. Due to restrictions, we only printed one hundred sets. The ones that are downloaded are all ordinary black and white textbooks in yellow leather."

"The reason why this matter has been delayed for so long is that firstly, it is difficult to make remakes, and secondly, many dishes here are on the verge of being lost. We need to find successors, research methods, and finally confirm it as a recipe. It will also take time."

"That's great." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Master Zhang's current skill has also improved a lot, right?"

"Hehehe, I have learned a lot of cooking methods of other schools, and many details of this school have only been studied in the past two years."

"Because it involves intellectual property issues, we didn't take this set of books to apply for the National Book Award, and only arranged for the provincial ones." Director Hu felt that it was a pity, and patted the new set of books: " It's a pity that I worked hard and didn't maximize it."

Speaking of Zhang Yuanfu, how unconvinced and unconvinced: "What is this intellectual property right? We have never had such a thing in the catering industry. As long as you figure out what other people do, this is yours... intellectual property!"

"Hahahaha, it's really true!" Zhou Zhi also felt incredible: "Theoretically speaking, the production of dishes should also belong to the category of intellectual property rights, but the most powerful copying of craftsmanship is in the catering industry, which is called fair and honest!"

"That's right, I haven't heard of which one can make twice-cooked pork and which one can't, right?" Zhang Yuanfu expressed his incomprehension: "The most boring thing is that the cooking methods are not intellectual property rights. This book records the cooking methods. But it has become an intellectual property, and it is not allowed to be copied casually. Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this?"

"Because patented products are technological innovations, the rights and interests of inventors and designers are protected, but dishes are not included, so this protection is difficult."

"Also, I think you are a bit too rigid, master?" Zhou Zhi also decided not to tease Lao Zhang: "Master Zhang, have we reproduced all the dishes in the book?"

"Well, not only has it been reproduced, but in the process of searching for the heirs, we have also discovered a lot of lost dishes. This is also a great harvest for copying this book."

"If that's the case, why do we still need to use the photos from the original book?" Zhou Zhi didn't know whether teaching Zhang Yuanfu was good or bad: "We recreated those dishes and took them as photos to replace "Chinese Famous Names". For the pictures in the Collection of Vegetables, simplify the content of the original book as much as possible, or rewrite it with your own expression, if it is really necessary to quote the original text, it will be included in the part of "data reference". "

"If you deal with it like this, and then add your own content, so that the original author doesn't even know it, will the issue of 'intellectual property rights' disappear?"

"It's okay... like this?" Zhang Yuanfu is a chef, and he doesn't understand the tricks, so he can only look at Director Hu innocently.

"It's okay... like this?" Director Hu was also confused.

In intellectual property rights, the determination of "reference" or "plagiarism" is a big problem in itself, especially in the aspect of "creative plagiarism". Let alone now, even in a few decades, we still dare not say "technical plagiarism". Mature".

As intellectual property rights are still "new things" in China today, the operability in this aspect is even greater.

For example, Zhou Zhi's "Sichuan Flavor Talk" inspired Cai Nan's creation, so Cai Nan wrote a new book "Searching for Guangdong and Hong Kong" according to the style and storytelling method of "Sichuan Taste" There is a strong "Zhouzhi taste", but this is also the unique intellectual property creation of others, which should be protected by law.

Since Master Cai can do it, how can Master Zhang not do it?

"Why don't I ask Professor Lu tomorrow?" Director Hu was a little tempted. If he changed some pictures and had independent intellectual property rights, then this set of books is definitely qualified to compete for the National Book Award. His resume and political achievements definitely add a touch of brilliance.

"If it works, the original name of "A Collection of Famous Chinese Dishes" will have to be changed?" Zhang Yuanfu also knows that this is a rare opportunity for a chef to leave his name in history, and he is also very excited: "Yuzi, your professional time has come. "

Eh?Why does this sound so familiar, as if I heard it somewhere?

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "For this kind of book, the simpler the name, the better. There are only four words, "Encyclopedia of National Cuisine". Let's give it the best name first!" (End of this chapter)
