After work.
"Hey, did you hear?"
"I just went to eat. What happened?"
"The newcomer nearly fought with Tian Bin."
"Ah? Is that for real? What happened? "
Many people in the office were whispering. Everyone liked to watch a commotion.
Zhang Ye did not go home. He rubbed the game ring and opened his inventory. He took out the band-like thing that he had kept in his inventory from the Treasure Chest. He opened the packaging and coincidentally, Tian Bin had returned from outside. Their seats were facing each other and were very close. If Tian Bin wanted to go over, he had to pass by Zhang Ye first. Zhang Ye stretched out his finger and silently stuck the Unlucky Sticker on Tian Bin's pants. Other than Zhang Ye, no one else could see it!
Pa!
Tian Bin felt that Zhang Ye had touched him when he passed by him. He looked down to see nothing and coldly glared at him.
The game ring gave a notification!
Unlucky Sticker has been used. Duration: 5 minutes. Countdown begins. 4: 59, 4: 58 …
Although Zhang Ye's episode had made Tian Bin very unhappy, he was still in a good mood today. "Recalling Spirits" was currently the most popular supernatural novel. He had spent a lot of effort to obtain the audio rights and broadcasting rights from the publishing company. There were a few other provincial radio stations that had spent large sums of money to obtain the rights. Finally, Tian Bin obtained the rights. He had actually used some tricks. For example, he did not contact the author first. The author was a newcomer, so Tian Bin directly communicated with the publishing company's upper management and promised a higher price. As for how the publishing company would split the profits with the author, or how they would take advantage of the fact that the author was a newcomer and lower the price to the lowest, Tian Bin did not care. He only promised the publishing company that the price given by the radio station would not be revealed to the author. Both companies would earn money together. Tian Bin had put in a lot of effort. He wanted to use this novel to increase the listenership of "Late-night Ghost Stories". He wanted to attract more advertisements to increase his commission and sales, as well as to make a name for himself.
Di di. A message came.
Tian Bin took a look at his cellphone. It was a message from the publishing company's Vice President. He wished Tian Bin's program a success, and also hinted that he should not reveal the author's purchase price for the audio rights. Tian Bin smiled. As he walked, he wanted to reply, but something happened at the desk on his left!
A female colleague wanted to put away her lunch box and leave work. She did not pay attention and the lid of the lunch box fell to the ground.
Tian Bin happened to step on it and immediately slipped to the ground. Putong, he fell to the ground!
"Ouch!"
"Ah, Teacher Tian!"
"What are you doing?"
"Sorry. Are you alright?"
Tian Bin was in pain. He got up and waved his hand, "Forget it!
He picked up the phone and saw that the interface was gone. He had no choice but to create a new blank message and type, "President Li, please don't worry. We won't ask what percentage you give to the author. We won't let the author, Li Gen, know about the price we set. It's not the first time we've worked together, so don't worry." After he finished writing, Tian Bin scrolled to President Li's number and prepared to send it. But coincidentally, a colleague opposite him was about to get off work. He brushed past Tian Bin and coincidentally bumped into Tian Bin, causing the silk fan in the colleague's hand to fall out of his hand. It flipped open and landed on the ground. Tian Bin's body also swayed. He lost his balance and stepped on the fan. Once again, he fell to the ground with a loud thud!
"Tian"! "Sorry, sorry!"
"You … Ouch, my waist. What happened!?"
This time, many people started to pay attention to him. Two falls in a few seconds? Isn't this too unlucky?
Tian Bin stumbled to his feet. He was so angry that he wanted to curse. When he looked at his cellphone, he had chosen the wrong name when he fell. It was the author, Li Gen's cellphone number. Both Tian Bin and Vice President Li had the same surname, and their names were close. Tian Bin was very angry. He planned to choose a new name to send.
Suddenly, Li Si walked up to him from behind. "Brother Tian!"
Tian Bin turned around. Peng! The fluorescent lamp above him exploded without any warning!
Shards of the lamp splashed down, giving Li Si a fright. He reflexively used his hand to block, but his palm hit Tian Bin's chin!
Tian Bin screamed again. Plop! His body fell to the ground. With his hand trembling, he pressed the "Send" button on his cellphone!
Li Si quickly helped him up, "Brother Tian! Sorry! This … "
Tian Bin was close to tears, "What are you doing!? Don't you have eyes!? "
Li Si scratched his head, "Sorry, Brother Tian. I wasn't paying attention. Who knew that the lamp would break?"
But when he took the cellphone and looked at the screen, Tian Bin's expression changed. Your sister! How did you send it!? He wanted to salvage the situation, but it was too late!
All of this had happened under Zhang Ye's eyes. He had seen Tian Bin fall and get hit. His colleagues in the office were also amused. They felt that Tian Bin was really unlucky today!
Three times!
A total of three times!
Did you not check the almanac when you went out today?
But this was not the end. Before the Unlucky Sticker's effect ended, the Literature Channel's head rushed in!
"Tian Bin!" Zhao Guozhou shouted.
Tian Bin knew something was amiss, "Leader."
Everyone did not know what was going on. They looked over in a daze.
Zhao Guozhou flew into a rage, "What are you doing!? Ah? The author of "Recalling Spirits", Li Gen, called the station to say that the contract is invalid. He wants us to stop broadcasting his work! He even said that if we infringe on his copyright, his lawyer will send us a letter tomorrow! Weren't you the one who did this? How did you do it for me? "
Tian Bin did not dare to retort. He lowered his head in silence.
The copyright of "Recalling Spirits" was in the hands of the author. It was the same for the audio copyright. The author had authorized the publishing house to manage the other copyright matters out of trust. But strictly speaking, if the copyright was not authorized or signed by the author, it would be invalid. The contract for "Recalling Spirits" was the same. Tian Bin had only signed a contract with the publishing house. Normally, if the author took the copyright fees and did not take it seriously, the contract would be set. But if the author really wanted to take it seriously, the contract could be voided!
Zhao Guozhou scolded him for a full ten minutes.
Finally, a few of the Literature Channel's junior Leaders also came over. Everyone chimed in. Zhang Ye and many others finally understood what was going on. Tian Bin had made a deal with the simplified Chinese publishing house for "Recalling Spirits". Tian Bin had gotten the publishing house to sell the audio copyright to him. He would hide the copyright price and deceive the author, allowing the publishing house to earn more profits. This phenomenon was actually very common in the industry. Even if Tian Bin did not hide it and the publishing house did not mention it, the author would not know. But Tian Bin had sent the insider information to the original author's phone!
Wasn't this courting death?
Wasn't this disgusting?
There were not many cancellations of the copyright. If it were any other author, they would probably curse after seeing that message!
Tian Bin explained, "Leader, this was my mistake. But I think it's fine if we continue broadcasting. We have a contract with the publishing house. Actually …"
Wang Xiaomei, who had not gotten off work, said unhappily, "Are you going to court?"
An editor from the editorial team also said, "We absolutely cannot broadcast it! Who will be responsible if there are any problems? "
They were a public institution. What was most important was not profits, but the responsibility.
Everyone gathered together to discuss. Finally, it was Zhao Guozhou who made the final decision. "Change the novel. Every department, who has suitable supernatural novel resources, help me contact them. The live broadcast at night cannot be stopped, nor can it be stopped. Let's see if we can settle the novel's copyright in the shortest time possible!" Zhao Guozhou pointed at Tian Bin's nose and said, "Everything is ruined because of you! Wait for your punishment! "
In contrast, Tian Bin's expression was like his father had died!
While Zhang Ye vented his anger, he was also stunned. The Unlucky Sticker had only been effective for five minutes. In just five short minutes, Tian Bin had become so unlucky? This item was too miraculous! Looks like this bro will have a new nickname other than Zhang Jingkong in the future. Right, I'll be called Detective Mao Li Zhangwulang!
