Chapter 801 Chapter 801 Did you see it! (Not proofread later)
Currently, cable TV is only established in three cities. Ilian must have one city in the south. What remains is the imperial capital, the center of politics, economy and culture.
Du Lin also wanted to spread the entire empire all at once, but the problem was that those signal lines did not seem to be valuable, but if they were laid according to the size of a city and had to reserve enough interfaces, this was an astronomical figure. Even if he had tens of millions in his hand now, it was not enough, and it was still not enough to increase ten times. He could only choose to preinstall three cities first, and then consider obtaining funds through commercial operations, and then using this money to pave lines for other cities.
During this period, he discussed the charging issue with Nasha and Frena, including the management of the new company. Dulin's idea was to take all of it at 699 cents, but was unanimously opposed by others. Nasha believed that 699 cents might be appropriate if the monthly fee for only one channel was just a channel, but if it was all channels, it would obviously be a disadvantage, especially when the business was still the only one.
The high profits brought by monopoly are enough to support them to quickly lay a sound, terrifying national signal transmission network across the country that connects all cities. Accelerating this infrastructure will be of greater help to their later profits, at least the profit period arrives early and expand the profit space.
Du Lin felt that the charge was too harsh, and he let it go. Finally, with the help of those business elites, they held a conference call and set a fee standard.
What Du Lin said at the press conference is still valid, but there is a prerequisite here. Users who must order the full channel at one time and have been over two years can apply for the "old user" welfare policy for the full channel after 6.99 cents. Before that, the opening fee for each channel was 3.99 cents, and it would take 39.90 cents to open the full channel. In addition, Nasha and Frena also negotiated with the producers association to discuss another cooperation plan, a very important cooperation plan.
In the future, all users who have access to cable TV signals can broadcast any movies that have been produced separately in their homes, and only need to pay an additional fee for this, and the movies will be played separately in Channel 11. Of course, there are still a lot of technical problems that have not been solved, such as how to make users and TV stations have simple and effective connections, and quickly see a series of problems such as watching movies they like, all need to be further solved by Science Island.
To this end, the Producers Association and Dulin's cable TV broadcasting company signed a commercial agreement. The Producers Association provides at least three million, no more than ten million, of special research funds to realize on-demand technology, and enjoys 33% of the patent rights of the technology. This is a very excellent business plan. It is definitely a big profit to use other people's money to do research for yourself and do not need to pay all the patent rights.
From the perspective of the producers' association, they did not lose money in doing so. According to the current standards and rules of the film industry, if a movie is released, if the cinema continues to play the movie, 99% of the revenue belongs to the cinema chain, and only one-digit percentage will be handed over to the producers. This makes many producers very distressed. Under this system, there have been cases of legal box office stealing. Those theaters get the film but they do not play it or play less. They will not start to play it on a large scale until the release period is over, causing great losses to the production company.
The production company also sued these theaters, but the final result was very unsatisfactory. First of all, the theaters did not get these film sources for free, but purchased them by themselves. Then the ownership and ownership of the copy of this movie belong to the cinema chain. They played whenever they liked. The production company did not have the right to require the cinema chain to perform their obligations that they did not need to bear.
This also causes the film to be released now that when the film is released, the producers either provide free copies of the movie and sign an agreement to play several times a day, or spend another sum of money to arrange the playback by hiring and purchasing the time period. In short, the producers have become very weak in theater issues.
But if that bastard Dulin could allow those viewers to watch movies at home and have an accurate billing method, some production companies believe that it would not be a problem to abandon most rogue theaters, even if the two women asked to take 45% of the fees from each on-demand movie.
And there is another more obvious benefit, that is, when the "re-broadcast" is the production company that makes money. Even those movies from more than ten years ago can still make money from them. There is no embarrassing situation where only one percent of the box office revenue after the release period. Sometimes it doesn't even have one percent, so those theaters will not tell the production company that I started playing movies from you a few years ago and make money.
So in order to break the constraints of theaters on producers, they spent three million on special research in advance. Once the research is successful, they will let those theaters know what bankruptcy is!
Everything was heading towards the best direction in Dulin's plan, but the problem still arose, and the first place that appeared was the imperial capital.
So far, besides wires that need to be pulled with telephone poles, there are only telephone lines left, which do not occupy too much space. The wires can be separated by one main line, and there are not many telephone lines because many ordinary families do not have the right to use telephones, and they cannot afford to buy telephones or afford the fees they need to pay for. However, there are a little more signal lines on cable TVs. After the TV station comes out, it is definitely an amazing project.
It is not realistic to hang on a telephone pole. I am afraid that two telephone poles will not necessarily be able to withstand the TV signal cables from the TV station. So the initial plan was to bury the telephone cables under the ground. But as soon as they started digging, people from the Social Service Bureau of the Imperial Capital appeared. They asked the project to be stopped, and the same was true for the other two cities. Anyway, they each had their own reasons.
What the imperial capital is talking about is that the emperor is an ancient city with a history of more than a thousand years, and has been the capital of the empire in recent hundreds of years. It has extraordinary significance and historical value. Every brick on the ground can be called a historical relics. Such destructive construction is absolutely not allowed, and it will damage too many historical traces and ground, so the cable TV project is not allowed to continue.
It is said that Ilian is considering the city appearance. As a tourist city, if dust and construction sites are everywhere, it will cause great damage to Ilian's image. How to dig, when to dig, and how much each time you dig, you must submit a reasonable plan to the city hall first. Only after approval is approved will the ground be allowed to start. In particular, people from the city hall say that it is best to put the construction period in the winter break period, when the tourists in Ilian will drop sharply, which is more suitable for such large-scale construction.
As for the problem of southern cities, Du Lin felt that they wanted money there. The reasons they raised were very reluctant, and of course they were in line with the actual situation, such as road damage, dust, noise pollution, and reporting by residents. Although there were many problems, their determination was not firm enough, and it seemed that there was still a possibility of talking. If they could talk, it was money. In the south where everything could be regarded as a commodity, this became the simplest thing.
But except for the south, the construction of Yilian and the imperial capital was a problem, which made Du Lin’s head hurt.
Dulin is not only the one who has a headache, but also some others.
At this time, Taylor sat at the board meeting with his head in his hand. He was not qualified to sit in the seats with the famous cards, and could only listen to the corner of the earliest conference room on the wall. He looked very bad. He fell from the spiral stairs of Kailemen and broke one of his legs and arms. Now he was put on a cast and a fixture, and could not move. He also wrapped gauze on his head and a cervical protector around his neck. It felt like he had just escaped from the arms of the god of death.
Now the meeting is discussing the issue of a complete suspension of insurance business. Dulin not only took out a patent certificate, but also sued the two major banks to the Supreme Court of the Empire. Only the Supreme Court of the Empire is qualified to hear cases about the two major banks.
I don’t know how many times I have experienced the sued by someone. I dare not say that I will definitely win every time, but 99% of them won the lawsuit in the end. There is no other name, but it is money. Having money can drag down all those who sued them and drag the lawsuit into a long trial process. In the end, the plaintiff finally chose to withdraw the lawsuit because of bankruptcy or unable to bear huge economic pressure. Even if the Bank of Imperiality compensates a little bit of money, sometimes he will not even give it to others.
There is a saying among the people, "If you don't have money, the most rational way is not to challenge the bank." According to the current working methods of judicial practitioners, those vampires called lawyers, no matter whether they win or lose, they can earn a considerable portion of their income.
If you win, the amount of compensation involved in the indictment will be paid to the lawyer as an additional part of the expenses, usually between 12 and 20 percent, sometimes higher, and even fifty percent cases.
If you lose, you also need to pay such a fee. Of course, the cost is between one percent and three percent of the compensation amount. In addition, you must pay the cost of hiring a lawyer regardless of winning or losing. Collecting evidence requires fees, sorting information requires fees, formulating a defense plan requires fees, and finally standing in court to defend.
The countless fees added together may not be enough for the lawyers to pay.
Of course, if the plaintiff has money and can drag the lawsuit with them, such as people like Du Lin, there is no good way. When the risk is too high, timely stop loss is the bank's code of conduct. If you can win, fight. If you can't win, you won't fight. After all, banks also need money to sue.
The lawsuit they discussed today is different from before, because Dulin is rich and rich! The huge amount of funds flowing out of Illian and Audis every month flows into dozens of unnamed accounts. The bank has initially evaluated Dulin's net worth, which is about 200 million to 300 million.
These do not refer to his cash, but are the appraisal of the combined movable and real estate, and the part that was illegally earned was not calculated on the books. The largest asset came from the real estate of Audis. Dulin used a cheap price of 100,000 yuan per district to acquire land in Audis, almost covering all the prosperous areas of the entire city. The prices of these lands are increasing rapidly. Perhaps with the development of Audis and the ability to attract money, these lands alone will be worth 500 million or 100 million.
It is not an interesting thing to sue such a guy. You can't find the feeling of abuse at all, you can only feel abused.
"Do you think it's necessary for us to fight such a lawsuit with him?" The three executive chairmans attended the meeting, including four other chairmans, and several others were unable to come for various reasons, but they all sent representatives. Almost all the directors arrived. Taylor also saw Phyllis sitting at the back with a relaxed face and whispering to another director.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Minister of the Law Department of the Imperial Bank and the Council's director. He nodded and said, "We must fight Dulin in such a lawsuit, and sued Dulin for violating the Antitrust Act and the Anti-Industry Manipulation Act. In addition, we also need to sue the Imperial Patent Office, accusing the Patent Office and Dulin of the Rights Money Transaction, and registering a category that has never been before as a patent."
The old man pursed his lips and thought, "What do we need to do, what can we get, what will we lose?"
There were only the voices of these two people in the entire conference room, and the others closed their mouths tightly, except for Phyllis who was sitting at the end.
"Durin's lawsuit against us will be dragged down in the previous way, focusing on the other two cases. No matter which side is successful, we can directly break the patent standards and patent barriers made by Duurin." The Minister of the Legal Affairs Department was once a very excellent lawyer. He has tried thousands of cases in his life. Now he is old and cannot make a lawyer's letter. He has transferred to the Bank of Imperial Affairs Department to be the Minister of the Legal Affairs Department, but this does not mean that he is useless.
His rich experience and experience allowed him to find some of the flaws that Dulin has now at a glance. As long as he can break it, Dulin will lose!
