Cosma Empire
Chapter 801 Chapter 801 Did you see it!
? Cable TV currently has only established TV stations in three cities. Illian will definitely have one in the southern city. The rest is the political, economic and cultural center of the imperial capital.
Du Lin also wanted to spread TV stations all over the empire at once, but the problem is that those signal lines seem to be worthless, but if they are laid according to the scale of a city and enough interfaces are reserved, this is an astronomical sum , even if he is holding tens of millions in his hand now, it is not enough, ten times is not enough, he can only choose to pre-install three cities first, and then consider obtaining funds through commercial operations, and then use the money for Other cities lay lines.
During this period of time, he had a discussion with Nasha and Frena, including the management of the new company, on the charging issue. Du Lin's idea was to cover all of them for six yuan and ninety-nine cents, but it was unanimously agreed by everyone else. Against it, Nasha thinks that six yuan and ninety-nine cents may be appropriate if it is only a monthly fee for one channel, but if it is for all channels, it is obviously a disadvantage, especially when the business is still the only one.
The high profits brought by the monopoly are enough to support them to soon lay a sound and terrifying national-level signal transmission network connecting all cities across the country. Speeding up this infrastructure construction will be more helpful to their later profit, at least profit The period came ahead of schedule, and the room for profit was expanded.
Du Lin felt that the fee was too harsh, and he let it out. Finally, with the help of those business elites, they held a conference call and formulated the fee standard.
What Du Lin said at the press conference is still valid, but there is a premise added here. Users who must subscribe to the full channel at one time and have completed two years can apply for 6.99 cents to subscribe to the full channel after two years. "Old user" benefit policy. Before that, the opening fee for each channel was 3.99 cents, and it cost 39.90 cents to open all channels. In addition, Nasha and Frena also negotiated another cooperation plan with the Producers Association, a very important cooperation plan.
In the future, all users who have access to the cable TV signal can order any movie that has been produced separately in their homes, and only need to pay an extra fee for this, and the movie will be played on Channel 11 alone. Of course, there are still a lot of technical problems that have not been solved. For example, how to allow users to have simple and effective contact with the TV station, and a series of problems such as how to quickly watch the movies they like, need to be further solved by Science Island. .
To this end, the Producers Association signed a commercial agreement with Du Lin's cable TV broadcasting company. The Producers Association will provide at least 3 million and no more than 10 million special research funds for the realization of on-demand technology, and enjoy Thirty-three percent of the patent rights for this technology. This is a very good business plan, using other people's money to do research for yourself, and without paying all the patent rights, it is definitely a big profit.
From the perspective of the Producers Association, there is actually no loss for them to do so. According to the current standards and rules of the film industry, once a film is released,
If the movie theater continues to play this movie in the future, 99% of the income will go to the movie theater chain, and only a symbolic one percent will be given to the producer. This makes many producers very distressed. Under this kind of system, illegal box office stealing has been happening all the time. Those theaters got the film but they didn't play it, or they played it less, and waited until the end of the release period before starting to play it on a large scale. It caused great losses to the production company.
The production company has also sued these theaters, and the final result is very unsatisfactory. First of all, the way the theaters get these film sources is not free, but purchased with their own money. Then the ownership and all rights and interests of this movie copy They are all owned by the movie theaters, and they can play them whenever they like. The production company has no right to ask the movie theaters to perform obligations that they don’t need to undertake.
This has also led to the fact that when a movie is released now, the producer either provides a copy of the movie for free and signs an agreement detailing how many times it will be played every day, or spends another sum of money to hire and buy time slots. To arrange the broadcast, in short, the producers have become very weak in terms of theaters.
But if that bastard Du Lin can allow those audiences to watch movies at home, and can have an accurate billing method, some production companies think that it will not be a problem to abandon most of the rogue theaters, even if the two women The requirement is to take a 45 percent cut of the cost of each movie on demand.
And there is a more obvious benefit, that is, the production company also makes money during the "rebroadcast". Even if those viewers order a movie more than ten years ago, they can still profit from it. The embarrassing situation of 1% of the box office revenue, sometimes not even 1%, those theaters will not tell the production company, I have started playing your movies a few years ago to make money again.
Therefore, in order to break the restriction of the theater chains on the producers, they spent 3 million for special research in advance. Once this research is successful, they will let those theaters know what it means to go bankrupt!
Everything is moving in the best direction of Durin's plan, but problems still appear, and the first place to appear is the imperial capital.
So far, apart from the wires that need to be pulled by poles, there are only telephone wires left, which don't take up too much space. The wires can be divided into one main line and there are not many telephone lines because many ordinary families do not have the right to use the telephone, they cannot afford the telephone and cannot afford the fee for the telephone. However, there are a little too many signal lines for cable TV. After they come out of the TV station, they are split into every corner of the city. This is definitely an amazing project.
It is not realistic at all to hang on the telephone pole. I am afraid that the two poles may not be able to withstand the section of the TV signal line coming out of the TV station, so the plan from the beginning was to bury the telephone line under the ground. But as soon as the digging started, people from the Social Service Bureau of the imperial capital appeared, and they demanded that the project be stopped, and the same was true for the other two cities, anyway, each had their own reasons.
The imperial capital is talking about an ancient city with a history of more than a thousand years, and it has been the capital of the empire for hundreds of years. It has extraordinary significance and historical value. Every brick on the ground can be called a historical relic. . Such destructive construction is absolutely not allowed, as it will damage too many historical traces and the ground, so the construction of the cable TV station is not allowed to continue.
It is said that Irian is considering the city appearance. As a tourist city, if there are flying dust and construction sites everywhere, it will cause great damage to Irian's image. How to dig, when to dig, and how much to dig each time must first submit a reasonable plan to the city hall, and only after approval can the ground be broken. In particular, the people in the city hall said that it is best to put the construction period in the winter break. At that time, the number of tourists in Illian will drop sharply, which is more suitable for this kind of large-scale construction.
As for the problem in the southern cities, Du Lin felt that they wanted money. The reasons they put forward were very reluctant, and of course they were in line with the actual situation. There were a lot of things like road damage, dust, noise pollution, and residents' reports. Although there are many problems, their determination is not strong enough. It seems that there is still a possibility to talk. If they can talk, they are asking for money. In the south where everything can be used as a commodity, this has become the easiest thing to do.
But except for the south, the construction of Illian and the imperial capital is a trouble, which makes Du Lin's head hurt.
It was not only Du Lin who had a headache, but also some other people.
At this time, Taylor was sitting on the council meeting with his head supported. He was not qualified to sit in the seats with the card nameplates, and could only sit in the corner of the earliest conference room against the wall. He looked very bad all over, having broken a leg and an arm from a fall down the spiral staircase at the Kellormen, and now he is in a cast and immobilized and cannot move. His head was also wrapped in gauze, and he wore a cervical spine protector around his neck. It felt as if he had just escaped from the arms of death.
Now this meeting is discussing the issue of the complete suspension of the insurance business. Du Lin not only took out the patent certificate, but also sued the two major banks to the Supreme Court of the Empire, and only the Supreme Court of the Empire is qualified to hear the disputes about the two major banks. case.
I don’t know how many times I have been sued by the Imperial Bank of China. I dare not say that they will definitely win every time, but 99% of the time, they win the lawsuit in the end. There is no other reason, just rich. Having money can bring down all those who sued them and drag the lawsuit into a long trial process. In the end, the plaintiff chose to withdraw the lawsuit because of bankruptcy or unable to bear the huge economic pressure. There are also times when they don’t even give a penny to others.
There is a common saying in the folks, "If you have no money, the most sensible way is not to challenge the bank." According to the current working methods of judicial practitioners—those vampires called lawyers, no matter whether you win or lose a lawsuit, They all get a fair share of the income.
If you win, the amount of compensation involved in the indictment should be paid to the lawyer as an additional part of the fee based on a percentage, usually between 12% and 20%, sometimes higher, even 100%. Fifty cases.
If you lose, you also need to pay such a fee. Of course, the fee is between 1% and 3% of the compensation amount. In addition, no matter whether you win or lose, you must pay the cost of hiring a lawyer. There is a fee for collecting evidence, a fee for collating information, a fee for formulating a defense plan, and a fee for defending in court.
Countless fees add up, and the bank may not even pay enough for the lawyer.
Of course, if the plaintiff has money and can drag the lawsuit with them, such as someone like Du Lin, they have nothing to do. When the risk is too high, timely stop loss is the bank's code of conduct. If you can win, you will fight. It seems that if you can't win, you won't fight. After all, banks need money to go to court.
The lawsuit they discussed today is different from before, because Du Lin is rich, very rich! The huge amount of money flowing out of Illian and Odis City every month flowed into dozens of unregistered accounts. The bank made a preliminary assessment of Du Lin's net worth, which was probably between 200 million and 300 million.
These do not refer to his cash, but include the combined assessment of all movable and immovable properties, and kick out the part of illegal income, which cannot be calculated on the books. Among them, the biggest asset comes from the real estate in Odis City. Du Lin bought land in six districts in Odis City at a cheap price of 100,000 yuan per district, covering almost all the bustling areas of the city. The prices of these lands are rising rapidly. Perhaps with the development of Odis City and its ability to absorb gold, it won't be long before these lands alone can be worth 500 million or 1 billion.
It is not an interesting thing to go to court with such a guy. There is no feeling of abuse, only the feeling of being abused.
"Do you think it is necessary for us to fight such a lawsuit with him?" All three executive directors attended the meeting, including the other four directors, and several others were unable to come due to various reasons. But they all sent representatives. Almost all the directors were present, and Taylor also saw a relaxed Phyllis sitting at the back and whispering to another director.
All eyes are on the Minister of Legal Affairs of the Imperial Bank of China, who is also a member of the Council. He nodded and said, "We have to fight such a lawsuit with Dooling, and at the same time sue Dooling for violating the Anti-Monopoly Act and the Anti-Industrial Manipulation Act. In addition, we also need to sue the Imperial Patent Office , accusing the Patent Office of trading power and money with Dulling, and registering a classification that has never existed before as a patent."
The old man pursed his lips and thought for a while, "What do we need to do, what can we gain, and what will we lose?"
There were only the voices of these two people in the entire meeting room, and everyone else kept their mouths tightly shut, except for Phyllis who was sitting at the end.
"Du Lin's lawsuit against us will be dragged down in the previous way, and the focus will be on the other two cases. No matter which side succeeds, we can directly break the patent standards and patent barriers made by Du Lin.", Legal Department The minister used to be a very good lawyer, and he tried thousands of cases in his life. Now he is too old to do lawyer letters, and transferred to the Imperial Bank to be the minister of the law department, but this does not mean that he is useless. .
His rich experience and experience allowed him to find out some of Du Lin's current flaws at a glance. As long as he can break it, Du Lin will lose!
