Chapter 368 Respect for Intellectual Property

At night, a grand fireworks show was staged in Arlington Manor. The guests and residents of Arlington all came to witness this scene. The bonfire built made every guest's trip worthwhile.

Sheffield naturally held Anne and her familiar friends to witness the end of the unforgettable day together.

"Boss, there is nothing wrong with this day. Some businessmen from the north think that the business environment in the south lacks competition, and say that some Dixie people are vassals of the United Company." Jessla appeared quietly, and while others were not paying attention, he reported to his boss about the movements in the manor.

"The conscience of these Yang Jiba is very bad. Don't worry about such trivial matters. The Dixie people in the South know what kind of choices they make are more beneficial." Sheffield smiled coldly and waved to let Jess go down.

"William, what's wrong?" Rockefeller came back to his senses from the chat and asked Sheffield.

"Some small problems, some bastards full of moral superiority, say bad things about me, nothing. There are so many stupid people in the world, and I can't stop them from being stupid." Sheffield said with a condescending smile, "At least in the south, no one can challenge the status of the United Company."

Sheffield was disdainful to those Yang Ji-kun in the north who stood and spoke without a headache, and did not think that such small methods were of use. When you needed to make selfless contributions, you were the eldest son of the Republic. When you were fine, you could not invest in Shanhaiguan. You had seen it in your previous life, but in this life there was only the same routine.

Although Sheffield didn't say much, Anne keenly felt that her husband was not very happy. When the fireworks were set off and the unforgettable wedding came to an end, she took the time to comfort her, "Did someone make you angry?"

"There are some of the guests of Fat Yang who said to the Dixie that the South's dominance lacks competition!" Sheffield sarcastically said, "What they said is right. For other companies in the South, the size of the United Company is too large and it is indeed not conducive to healthy development."

Oh! Annie nodded. She knew that her husband had not finished speaking, and she saw the slave owner change the subject, "What they think about is that the entire South, including my company, will work for them, make the hardest money, and fatten them up. Dreaming, instead of letting these Yang Jibu suck blood, it is better to let me suck blood. At least I can retain talents for the South and not let the Dixie become a model of labor output."

Just like a southwestern province in the Republic in later generations, the provincial capital city dominated, and other cities under the province did not have a high sense of existence in this province. A group of online keyboard warriors believed that this kind of development was unhealthy, and people in the province that dominated the provincial capital were all going to work in the provincial capital.

On the contrary, the people in this province are not dissatisfied with the provincial capital. This principle is very simple. If they do not work for the provincial capital, they will have to leave their hometowns to work in other provinces. At least they can leave some talents for their hometowns when working for the provincial capital.

The same situation exists in the imperial capital. If northerners do not help the imperial capital, or are influenced by public opinion, they should be moved to the capital, and the economic strength of the north and south will be completely unbalanced. If the economic and political statements do not count, the most extreme example is that there was an incident called the Liuzhen Uprising in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

"These guys Yang are so bad!" Annie clenched her fists and looked very indignant. On her wedding day, someone actually made her husband angry.

"It's okay, I have the media group in my hand. Yang Jiba's idea cannot affect the Dixie people." Sheffield smiled, held Anne's hand and walked in the manor packed by the servants. "If the media group is also in Yang Jiba's hands, that would be bad, but your husband, I was smart, and I thought about it very early, and I solved this problem first."

In the Republic a hundred years later, whose media and public opinion are in? It can be summarized in one sentence: the south is colder than the north, the south is hotter than the north, and the south is livable than the north. To be precise, it is in the Jiangnan area, but not the southwest. The southwest, like the north, belongs to the place where Jiangnan needs to attract labor. Jiangnan has occupied a geographical advantage and has not been suppressed by the imperial capital, so the peacocks have long since flew southeast.

If public opinion is not in Jiangnan, in all wars, the southwest usually resists to the end, so why is it not shown in the film and television drama? Because the film and television drama base is also in Jiangnan! Jiangnan is obviously not kneeling slowly, but he can be packaged through film and television dramas and pretend to resist to the last moment. In fact, it resists to a certain southwest province, most people don’t know.

A certain province in the southwest responded quickly. The whole province has worked hard to develop the provincial capital and intercepted some of its own talents. Otherwise, it would have become a labor export in the province and it would have been a big deal.

"William is right. Even if you suck blood, you can't let Yang Jiren suck blood." Anne already had a sense of hatred for the enemy, and completely regarded herself as the wife of Arlington Manor.

"If you don't talk about these things, today is our wedding day. This kind of trivial matter is already being talked about." Sheffield held Anne and whispered, "Our family is quite special, and you don't ask you to change your surname, Mrs. Anne."

The wedding ended in Arlington, but the place outside Arlington has just begun. With the end of the rush to buy, details of the wedding in the following days were further disclosed.

Whether it is the elites of all parties at the wedding or the huge investment during the entire wedding process, it is enough to make some girls excited. The one who wishes to become the slave owner's wife is himself, and he just needs to write a letter saying that he is ovulating on the ground and asks for help.

The plane formation hangs ribbons and salutes, such as airplane formations, have also attracted the attention of many partners who are about to enter the newlywed hall. Of course, these are all the children of upper-class families who have certain assets.

It is foreseeable that this kind of business may become a trend, but slave owners holding patents will not miss the opportunity to collect patent fees. The United States is a country ruled by law and must protect the rights and interests of patents.

There was still heated discussion outside. As Arlington's guests left, the discussion was intensifying, but Arlington had returned to normal and became a quiet town again.

The slave owner had just settled the five largest publishing giants in the United States, and through capital injection, he won the last hard bone. In the agreement with the five publishing giants, the slave owner won unanimous praise from the five publishing giants with the idea that knowledge is money.

"He doesn't really spend some money, but he continues to stay with them in another way. Since knowledge is priceless, it is natural for us to charge a little fee. We should protect these scholars who lead social development and their works, so that they cannot think about the future development of society while hungry. Let truly knowledgeable scholars not want to enjoy the convenience provided by society when they are alive, which is a crime. Although the examples may be inappropriate, Van Gogh is almost like this. If a scholar truly has real talent and knowledge, he should become rich and respected."

"Piracy books are circulated in society, which is the greatest blasphemy of knowledge." The slave owner remembered the painful years of his previous life. Who could not learn from and learn from the Soviet Union, and hundreds of pages of books were densely filled with words. He should have learned the great human beacon. Half of the books with a hundred pages were illustrations, full of freedom, and no bargaining for seventy-five dollars per book is true. This is the true respect for knowledge and respect for scholars.

Although the slave owners did not directly address the topic, these publishers already understood and understood it. They all said that their concern for industry authorities and scholars was not enough, and that they should be guaranteed by useful people in society. Conversely, the published books should naturally increase the price slightly. Of course, the prices of these conscientious publishers will definitely not rise wildly at the beginning, but will only increase the price little by little to test the acceptance of citizens.

To reach today, every publisher is already a veteran in the industry, and there is no need for the slave owner to explain it too thoroughly.

"We should respect intellectual property rights. We should not let experts learn all their lives without gaining any benefits. If we do not respect knowledge, who will innovate?"

Sheffield appreciates this kind of answer. If you are a real estate businessman as president, you must be a pillar of the federal government. Simply put, it is to win over everyone in the name of publishers and raise prices. At the same time, crack down on piracy, of course, this is far from enough.

Since nominally, since it is respecting intellectual property rights and arousing the society's respect for scholars, there must be legal protection. In other words, the publishing trust formed by five publishing giants now needs a new copyright law to be introduced.

"Of course we have very capable friends to do this. Before the new copyright law is introduced, we should not act rashly." Sheffield patted her chest and promised that as long as you publishers follow me, you will definitely enjoy the most delicious food and drink.

The friends who can help are naturally Rockefeller, who is still in the manor and has not left. The new copyright law is not a law involving many interests, and respecting the name of intellectual property rights, I believe it will not be opposed. As long as the two people communicate and promote it, it will not be a problem to pass.

Rockefeller, little boy, naturally had his own considerations, and talked about reorganizing the medical order and cracking down on illegal pharmacists again. The two of them were talking about things in different fields, but they did similar things, just to make some slags leave the market quickly.

"We should indeed deal with them well. Many pharmacists cheated on the four-element medicine of ancient Greece, and it was not difficult to deal with them at all." Sheffield naturally knew that many traditional Western medicines were also nonsense under the guise of unfathomableness. Traditional Chinese medicine has the five elements, and ancient Greece had the four-element medicine.
