Almighty Fat Goddess

Chapter 563 Who Sues Who?

The editor-in-chief nodded and smiled.

"Hehe, everyone, plagiarism is actually a good thing. Think about it, according to the copyright protection law, their illegal profits will be multiplied by three, and all of them will belong to us. As far as I know, the number of viewers of Haoyue Video has reached 300 every day. How much, it has been serialized for so many days, and now the income has exceeded [-] million yen, and we need at least [-] million yen in compensation..."

The deputy editor nodded.

"Yes, and I think it's time to officially authorize Huaxia, and the serial copyright and booklet copyright can at least earn hundreds of millions! If this doesn't happen, it's probably not enough. Now that something happens and the hype starts, it's estimated that there will be some Many Chinese publishing companies will talk to us!"

After discussing and reaching an agreement, the editor-in-chief made the final concluding remarks with a smile.

"Okay, that's it. Let's sue first, ask for an apology and compensation, and then authorize Huaxia and other countries to reprint..."

dang dang...

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door in the meeting room. Everyone looked over in unison. The door was pushed open, and the dispatcher of the animation center came over with a letter and placed it in front of the editor-in-chief.

"This is the lawyer's letter just sent over, it's for your company..."

Everyone was taken aback, the editor-in-chief opened the lawyer's letter, and after reading a few sentences, Parkinson immediately became angry...

"Shameless, so shameless, the Huaxia people are too shameless! Plagiarized us, and sued us in turn! I have never seen such a brazen person! Contact the lawyer team immediately..."

The editor-in-chief was trembling with anger, and the investor took a look at the lawyer's letter and couldn't help frowning.

"...You published a booklet without the authorization of the original author... you breached the contract... you are now... suing... eh? Isn't that right? Editor-in-Chief, this is suing us for publishing a booklet, saying that we didn't get the original author's authorization? You...didn't get the copyright of the original author?"

The investor looked at the editor-in-chief suspiciously. The editor-in-chief was stunned, read the lawyer's letter again, and laughed.

"Oh, it's okay. I'll just call Xiaobai and explain. I've been busy promoting "Man Like a Pirate" and publishing a booklet recently. I haven't had time to sign supplementary terms with him yet."

Everyone didn't take the copyright matter seriously, because this is the unspoken rule of the animation center and the animation circle. Only big comics are qualified to discuss copyright. How can Pujie have copyright?If it can be sold, it will be very popular. Who cares about copyright?

Therefore, when dealing with new painters, many publishing houses are almost generous. They give you more or less, depending on your mood, or even don’t give. Which cartoonist dare to sue?Unless you don't want to mix this line.

As for the signing of the copyright transfer agreement, most cartoonists on the street can't wait to kneel down and sign it, because if they sign it, they will get a huge sum of money in compensation for them. Who would be stupid enough not to sign it?
Therefore, many publishing houses, especially small publishing houses, publish the books first when publishing single volumes, and when they are sold for real money, in order to avoid legal disputes, they will ask cartoonists to sign a copyright transfer agreement.If you can't sell it for money, you won't give it directly. Anyway, you won't get any money if you win the lawsuit.

Because of this, the editor-in-chief felt a little annoyed and disdainful after seeing this lawyer's letter. He felt that this newcomer cartoonist was too ignorant, how could he send a lawyer's letter for this matter?It was also seen by investors.

So, he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, and let the other party know that there is no human right to rush to the street, even if your comics become popular for a while...

After the regular meeting, the editor-in-chief returned to his office, asked Watanabe Ito for Xiaobai's contact information, and frowned.

As soon as the phone was connected, he couldn't suppress his anger!

"Hello? You are Xiaobai, the author of "A Man Like a Pirate", right? Do you know the consequences of sending us a lawyer's letter? We can sue you for breach of contract at any time, and sue you for bankruptcy! Don't you understand the rules? Did we say in the booklet that we won't give you money?

Now!immediately!Come to my office and apologize to Glory Anime, I will consider forgiving you, and buy your copyright at a high price, otherwise, I will stop serializing "Man Like a Pirate" immediately, and you won't get any money!And I promise, no company will sign your comics in the future! "

……

The next day, after going to work at Glory Animation Publishing House, a girl wearing a plaid shirt and short hair walked in wearing sunglasses.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

"I'm looking for...um...it should be your editor-in-chief. He called me yesterday and asked me out."

The girl took off her sunglasses, and the two girls at the front desk immediately screamed.

"Oh my god, it's her! God of Cooking, Bai Feng!"

"I've seen her videos and news, she is a powerful woman who challenges us in tea ceremony, ikebana, and kendo. I can't believe it's really her!"

"The restaurant she opened in Hoshino Village is very expensive, and she can't get in line every day..."

……

Bai Feng smiled politely and asked a question.

"Excuse me, can I go in?"

The two receptionists at the front desk were a little embarrassed and pushed open the glass door for her blushing.

"Of course, please come with me."

The receptionist led Bai Feng inside and passed through countless office areas. The editors looked up at Bai Feng and screamed.

"It's that Chinese woman!"

"I didn't expect her to come to our company! Will she come to challenge our company?"

"Fart, what challenge does our broken company have?"

"Then why? Isn't she running a store now? Could it be... Wow, I see, it must be that "Man Like a Pirate" has made money. The editor-in-chief and investors want to invite us to the first floor of the world to eat." It's a big meal!"

"Yes, that makes sense. Otherwise, what would she be doing here? I guess we'll have to book a dinner now. I don't know if it will be on the news..."

"This is the world's God of Cookery. The God of Cookery in our country is just doing chores under her hands. She actually wants to cook for us. Thinking about it, I'm a little excited..."

……

Bai Feng followed the receptionist to the editor-in-chief's office, politely made a gesture of invitation, and then left with a smile.

After knocking on the door, Bai Feng pushed it open and went in.

"You are……"

"Hehe, you are so noble and forgetful. Let me introduce myself. My name is Baifeng. You asked me to come over yesterday and said that you wanted me to apologize to you about the copyright of "Man Like a Pirate"."

The editor-in-chief was taken aback, he never thought that "Man Like a Pirate" was drawn by a woman, and she was still so young...

"Are you the editor of "Man Like a Pirate"? Chinese??"

Bai Feng shrugged and smiled.

"Yes, a Chinese, and a woman."

The editor-in-chief stroked his chin. He was somewhat familiar with the name and even more familiar with the person's appearance, but he still couldn't remember where he had heard or seen it before.

Shaking his head, he took out a copyright transfer agreement from the drawer and put it on the table.

"Look, the copyright transfer agreement of "Man Like a Pirate"."

Bai Feng picked it up with a smile, looked at it quickly and then put it down, shook his head and spoke.

"Sorry, I don't intend to transfer the full copyright for the time being!"

The editor-in-chief almost suspected that he had heard wrongly. In this office, this was the first time he had seen such a terrific cartoonist who rejected the full copyright transfer agreement?
