"What did you say?!" Director Liu was on the verge of breaking down. "The situation is great! What a great situation! Wasn't Feng Yun website doing very well previously?! They had already suppressed Zhong Dian website. How did it end up like this?! What's going on?! "
"Director Liu, it's … it's because …" The secretary gulped and said, "It's because of Hong Dali. Hong Dali brought out important evidence. There's no way to turn the situation around. Now … quickly think of a way out …"
"Evidence?! But even if there is evidence, it shouldn't be so serious! "Director Liu shouted anxiously," What is the reason? Those authors were almost all gone! The readers were also running out! It's just a knockoff. Even if they were convicted, they shouldn't have to go to this extent! "
"It's … it's because …" The secretary was sweating profusely and didn't dare to look General Manager Liu in the eye. "It's because the Jabanese behind us has been found out! This isn't a big deal, but the Jabanese people have the habit of kicking away those who are worthless. This isn't in line with our Heavenly State's character. Those authors and readers can't stand it … "
"So that's how it is …" General Manager Liu leaned on the back of the swivel chair in exhaustion and muttered, "One wrong move, and the whole game is lost … I didn't pay much attention to this matter at that time and forgot about it. Combining these two points …"
"Boss Liu, prepare an escape route." The secretary said helplessly, "Otherwise, it will be too late …"
"Escape route? What other choice do I have? "General Manager Liu's eyes were lifeless as he said," This time, the crime of being a traitor has been confirmed … "
The people of Heavenly State hated traitors the most! Other matters were still fine, but the way Ko Gohon and Shiroishi Kazuma had handled Luo Xue's matter was the most serious matter! Now that this matter had been completely exposed, everything was too late!
While General Manager Liu was in a daze, in the courtroom, the final trial of Feng Yun website had already begun!
"Silence!" The presiding judge banged the gavel hard, and the entire scene immediately quietened down.
The judge shouted in a deep voice, "The evidence has been analyzed. The scene is correct. The analysis of the characters in the scene included Liu Desheng, the general manager of Feng Yun website. Ko Gohon, the successor of Jaban State's Toyoda Conglomerate. Shiroishi Kazuma, the chief consultant of Jaban State Toyoda Conglomerate. Character confirmed! The software source code had been re-analyzed. At present, the specific data that had been obtained was that 51.8% of the source code was a complete copy, which was completely correct with what was stated in the video. Therefore, video evidence is confirmed to be valid! "
Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience cheered!
"Hahaha! Good! Great! Young Master Dali is mighty! " "Hahahaha, such powerful evidence has been brought out. How can Feng Yun not lose? Punish them, punish them harshly! "" That's right, we definitely can't let those bastards get away with it! You dare to copy the code directly? You're courting death! "
"Silence!" The judge knocked on the table again. After the audience quietened down again, he slowly said, "Since the evidence is conclusive, we can now make the final verdict!"
Just then, one of the judges stood up and slowly read, "Feng Yun website, involved in copycat infringement, bribery, false accusation, erasure of criminal evidence, and other crimes!"
"According to Article 98 of the 'Heavenly State Internet Copycat Piracy Judgment Regulations', counterfeiting shall be sentenced to a fine ranging from one million to fifty million. Due to the huge amount of money involved in Feng Yun website, Feng Yun website shall compensate Zhong Dian website 35 million yuan for the infringement.
"According to Article 176 of the 'Heavenly State Industry Fair Competition Act', the defendant bribed the judge, examiners, and other important personnel during the trial, shall be sentenced to a fine ranging from one million to thirty million. Due to the amount of money involved in this case, Feng Yun website shall compensate Zhong Dian website 18 million yuan for the damages. At the same time, according to the 'Heavenly State Criminal Law', the seven examiners shall hand over all the money they bribed and be sentenced to six years in prison.
"According to Article 74 of the 'Heavenly State Industry Fair Competition Act', the defendant falsely accused the plaintiff during the trial, shall be sentenced to 16.8 million yuan as damages for the loss of reputation.
"According to Article 24 of the 'Heavenly State Internet Copycat Piracy Judgment Regulations', erasure of criminal evidence during the trial has caused great difficulty to the trial. Feng Yun website shall compensate Zhong Dian website 14 million yuan."
Finally, the judge slowly read, "For multiple crimes, the amount of compensation shall be increased by 20%. Final verdict: Feng Yun website shall compensate Zhong Dian website a total of 105.56 million yuan. Feng Yun website shall choose a day to suspend operations and reorganize, and may only resume operations after the fine has been handed over.
"May I ask the defendant, will you appeal?"
Feng Yun website's lawyer was completely at a loss. When he looked at Wada Nakamasa in the crowd and saw that Wada Nakamasa shook his head slightly, Feng Yun website's lawyer could only lower his head and say in a deep voice, "Cancel the appeal …"
Once they heard that Feng Yun website canceled the appeal, all the audience stood up and gave Zhong Dian website a warm round of applause!
"Hahaha! Great! Well done! It's too satisfying! I didn't come for nothing today. So what if they're Jabanese, they still lost! "" Yes, yes, it's too satisfying! That damn Jabanese actually copied our Heavenly State's good stuff, we definitely can't let them off! "" That's right, we have to beat them up so viciously! Beat them to death! Awesome! "
All the authors present cheered in unison, and countless people spread the good news to all their friends in the circle!
In an instant, the authors' group chat was full of messages, flipping up at the speed of a screen being refreshed —
Author One: "Hahahahaha! Good! That's great! We've won! Haha, those Jabanese lost! They've been fined 100 million! "
Author Two: "This is too satisfying. Let's see who dares to come to our Heavenly State and behave atrociously now! Damn! "
Author Three: "Brothers, let's not talk anymore. We'll change our location now, see you at Zhong Dian website!"
At the courtroom, Zhong Dian website, where the jury was.
"Hahaha, Weiguo, your Dali is too impressive!" Mu Tie laughed and fiercely hugged Hong Weiguo's shoulder. "They've been sentenced to pay 100 million, and the key is that they'll have to suspend operations for reorganization! Suspend operations for reorganization! During this period, all their resources will belong to us, Zhong Dian! "
"That's right!" Liu Yihui laughed and said, "We'll take over their resources! Take over their authors, take over their readers! By then, in the entire Heavenly State, the novel side will be ours alone! The smartphone reading app will be ours alone, hahaha! Good, good! Dali's move is too beautiful! "
"Dali, this child …" Hong Weiguo mumbled and suddenly fiercely rubbed his face. "This little rascal, he's making me feel so unsettled. When I get home, I'll definitely give him a good spanking! He actually hid so many things from me, I can't tolerate this! "
Just then, someone in the front row turned around and laughed at him. "You can still slap him? Your Dali is almost spoiled by you, and you still want to give him a spanking? If you can slap him, I'll change my surname to Hong! "
"Ahaha, haha!" Hearing that person's teasing words, Hong Weiguo's face turned red and he laughed. "I'm just saying, just saying. I'm so angry that I'm numb, haha …"
"Look at how you're laughing, your mouth is almost touching your ears!" Mu Tie madly patted Hong Weiguo's shoulder. "Old Hong, don't think so much. Hurry up and think about how to take over Feng Yun website's business. They've suffered a huge loss this time. If we don't take over their channels and whatnot, we'll be making a huge loss. We definitely can't miss such a good opportunity!"
"I know, we definitely can't miss it!"
While everyone was wildly celebrating their victory, Wada Nakamasa, who was in the crowd, softly said into the walkie-talkie, "Mission failed, we can consider a way out now." Saying so, he tidied his clothes and closed his eyes, no longer caring about what was happening.
Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite Number Four.
"Uncle Kazuma, we've failed! We've actually failed! " Ko Gohon anxiously paced back and forth in the room. As he paced, he anxiously said, "Is there any way to salvage the situation? Why exactly is this happening?! We were so close to obtaining the final victory, yet we actually lost everything just like that. How can it be like this, how can it be like this! "
"I've still underestimated the influence of human relations in Heavenly State." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly shook his head. "In my Jaban empire, it's very normal for an employee to be kicked out after they've lost their value. I didn't expect it to have such a huge influence in Heavenly State. Forget it, since things have come to this, then we have to make a decision. "
"Decision? What decision? " Ko Gohon despondently said, "Uncle Kazuma, could it be that you're asking me … to directly throw away Feng Yun website? But if we throw it away, won't our plan to besiege Sangle be … "
"A warrior must cut his losses." Shiroishi Kazuma closed his eyes and slowly said, "As a leader, if we don't have the courage to cut our losses, it's definitely not possible. Don't forget, although we've currently invested quite a lot of money into online literature, as compared to what will happen later on, it's not considered a big business. One wrong word and we'll lose everything. What we need to do now is to not let the scope of influence expand. "
"Uncle Kazuma, you mean, online gaming?!" Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's words, Ko Gohon's eyes instantly lit up. "Yes, yes! We still have online gaming, we still have other businesses! This time, Feng Yun website has lost, but we still have other areas to develop! Then, Uncle Kazuma, what should I do now? "
"There are two things you need to do now." Shiroishi Kazuma insipidly said, "First, completely give up on Feng Yun website and throw away all the influence of this entire matter. Second, take the initiative to admit defeat, and in the future, don't gamble with Hong Dali anymore. "
"This …" Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon was instantly stunned. "Uncle Kazuma, you want me to take the initiative to admit defeat to that prodigal Hong Dali?!"
