197 This kind of double standard, I like it!(2/2)
After all, our purpose is to make money.
By the time we publish the first edition, we will have eaten up most of it. Whether others pirate it or not is not that important anymore.
Because even if they pirate it, they can only drink some soup.
After all, the market for books of the same type is also limited."
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "It makes sense, after all, making money comes first."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang asked: "In other words, if I don't sell the copyright of my work to other parties in the form of a contract, then by default the copyright belongs to me?"
"That's for sure." Yu Deli nodded, "In our country, unless you explicitly state in the contract that you will sell the copyright, it is assumed that the copyright belongs to the creator. This is a well-established rule."
"Then if I publish my work inland first, and then take it to Xiangjiang to register the copyright, is that okay?" Cao Zhiqiang asked again.
"Of course that's no problem." Yu Deli smiled.
"Although the laws in Hong Kong are different from ours, as far as I know, if we publish an original work in the mainland first, they cannot pirate it.
Once they pirate our original works from the mainland, we can entrust them through Xinhua News Agency, or foreign-related companies with offices in Hong Kong such as trading companies, and hire lawyers in Hong Kong to prosecute those individuals and groups who pirate our books in Hong Kong.
, initiated a copyright lawsuit.
According to the laws of Xiangjiang, if the works published by Xiangjiang are published after ours, have the same content as our publications, and do not obtain our copyright authorization, then it is illegal.
We can easily win such a lawsuit and require them to pay high compensation.
But you can only get a small part of this compensation, and most of it will go to the lawyers in Hong Kong and the foreign-related companies entrusted with the prosecution.
Therefore, because of this, people in Xiangjiang generally do not pirate original works from our mainland, because it is very troublesome."
"I understand." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "In other words, we can pirate overseas literary works at will, but overseas countries cannot pirate our inland literary works, otherwise they will break the law, is that right?"
"You can think so." Yu Deli nodded with a smile, "Who told them to have such a law, but we don't? Only when there is a law can we abide by it!"
"Yo Xi!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded with satisfaction, "I like this kind of double standard!"
After nodding with a smile, Cao Zhiqiang once again took out the booklet filled with "Shattered Void", threw it directly on the desk and said:
"In this case, you should hurry up and give me this book as soon as possible!
By the way, give me 300,000 copies per edition! The price can be negotiated, it can’t be too low!”
"Three hundred thousand copies?" Yu Deli was surprised, "Isn't it too risky?"
"No, no, no." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "Listen to me, and you will get 300,000 copies!
If the printing quantity is large, the price can be cheaper, and the total price is not much more than 100,000 copies."
Then, Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "By the way, my poetry collection seems to have been published for more than a month, right? So, I can also pirate my own poetry collection?"
"This is theoretically possible." Yu Deli nodded.
Cao Zhiqiang curled his lips: "I remember that the printing cost of my poetry collection was only thirty cents a copy?
So, just in case, let's do a bundle sale.
Later, I asked the printing company to print the book of poems for 300,000 copies, which was nothing more than 90,000 yuan.
When the time comes, a copy of "Shattered Void" will be paired with a copy of "The Farthest Distance in the World" signed by me, what do you think?"
"This is a good idea." Yu Deli's eyes lit up, "As far as I know, the current market performance of your poetry collection is very good. The supply is still in short supply, and pirated copies have appeared in other places.
If we publish this collection of poems now, with your signature as the original author, it will definitely be out of print and cannot be counterfeited by others!
This way, it will definitely sell well!”
"Then let's do it!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "You two will hurry up and take care of this matter later. Everyone in the company must serve this project.
I now understand that everything is fake, only money is real.
Whatever the mid- to long-term issues, we can just play with it.
Let’s understand this book first and then make money!”
"General Manager." Yu Deli said with some worry, "If you want to publish 300,000 copies, it won't be cheap.
Even if you are very familiar with the people at Hongguang Machinery Factory and use the printing equipment from Hongguang Machinery Factory, there are still basic costs.
If you do this, you may have to invest all the wealth you have earned in the past. If you fail, you will lose everything."
"Don't be afraid!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, "If I don't have enough money, I will take out a loan!
Anyway, listen to me, as long as this book can be released on the market, it will definitely be popular!
The brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death.
Chapter completed!
