Chapter 372 Jiang Changqing is trapped
10 minutes later, under the big banyan tree in the yard.
There were 8 take-away boxes on the clean stone table. Su Yiming and He Miao each had a bowl of noodles in front of them, and the father and daughter were eating with relish.
Jiang Changqing sat opposite Su Yiming with two toasted buns on a plate in front of him.
But this guy was not in the mood to eat at the moment, he just kept drinking. In just a few minutes, a glass of 52-degree Fenjiu was finished.
"No, what do you want to say?"
Su Yiming swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said unhappily, "So you came here just to have some free time and drink?"
"Hey."
Jiang Changqing sighed and said, "I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, right? In addition to being busy with the wedding these days, I've put aside the company's affairs for the time being.
Previously, our film and television publicity department received a movie script. I was quite happy at the beginning, after all, this was the first script after the establishment of the new company.
result……"
"What happened?"
Su Yiming asked curiously, "Then the book won't work?"
"No."
Jiang Changqing shook his head and said, "I've read the book. The content is pretty good. It can also be linked to our group's products and can be used to promote our company's products."
"That's good."
Su Yiming said: "When the film is released, it can be shown in theaters and make money, and it can also enhance the reputation of Hengyuan Group. Isn't this a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"
"What a good thing?"
Jiang Changqing said distressedly: "The script is good, but it was plagiarized from a script written by a Korean screenwriter named Choi Min-ho.
Now the person who sold the script to our department has already run away with the money to the United States, and we can’t get the money back even if we want to.”
"what?"
Su Yiming stopped what he was doing and said, "Really? How could someone in your department make such a low-level mistake? They couldn't have even checked the copyright of the script, could they?"
"Of course it's true."
Jiang Changqing smiled bitterly and said, "When the book was brought over, the relevant copyright documents were all available, but the people in the department were lazy and didn't check the copyright number online.
Who knew that all those copyright documents were forged, so…"
Speaking of this, Jiang Changqing couldn't help but shook his head and said:
“The script cost 500 million Longxia coins, but the money is a small matter. The main shooting plan has been submitted to the group’s board of directors, and it has been approved and promoted.
If this matter were to be exposed, the reputation of our group would definitely be damaged. In a worse case scenario, the group’s stock price might also fall.
By then, it won’t be a matter of 10 or 20 million.”
"You mean to say that the group's board of directors started the relevant publicity after it approved it?"
Su Yiming was a little dumbfounded. Who made such a "smart" decision?
"Yes."
Jiang Changqing poured himself another full glass of wine and gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the group's vice president who kept urging us, the board of directors wouldn't have promoted it so quickly.
This guy relies on his seniority in the group and always goes against me. Otherwise... Oh, forget it, let's drink.
Yiming, I'll pour it for you."
As he spoke, Jiang Changqing picked up the bottle and wanted to pour wine for Su Yiming.
"No, you're going to make me anxious to death, why don't you just finish what you're saying?"
Su Yiming said anxiously, "What happened to Chang?"
"The group's vice president is called Chang Yuming. He is an old friend who founded and developed Hengyuan with my father."
Jiang Changqing recalled briefly, "Over the years, he relied on his status to insert a lot of people with connections into the group. Fortunately, those people were quite capable, so my father, considering the friendship we have had for so many years, just let it go.
But I didn't expect that he didn't restrain himself because of this. Instead, he became more aggressive and sometimes even openly shouted at me.
When the film and television publicity department was established, didn’t I say that someone in the group disagreed? The person who disagreed was Chang Yuming. "
"Isn't that right?"
Su Yiming frowned and said, "Aren't most of the company's shares in the hands of my godfather? Can this Vice President Chang interfere in the company's decision-making?"
"60% of the shares are in my father's hands, but Vice President Chang also holds 5%. The rest, apart from some shareholders, are in the hands of retail investors."
Jiang Changqing explained: "This guy has been stirring up trouble by relying on his status as the second largest shareholder. He was the one who was in charge of promoting the movie in advance."
"Why do I feel like this series of events is a trap?"
Su Yiming touched his chin and said, "Could it be this guy who did it?"
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly.
In Su Yiming's opinion, this matter was a trap set by Chang Yuming.
Otherwise, how could it be so perfect? Chang Yuming was so opposed to setting up a film and television publicity department before, but as soon as the first project of the department was submitted, he started promoting it?
Then the plagiarism was discovered, and the person who sold the script fled to the United States...
It's a little too tight, isn't it?
"Ok?"
Jiang Changqing was stunned at first when he heard Su Yiming's words. Then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He couldn't help but curse, "Fuck, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. It turns out that this guy did it?"
"Let's arrange for someone to check it out first."
Su Yiming frowned and said, "What I don't understand now is, if this matter is exposed to the public, what good will it do him?
Even if the stock price drops, it will only be a bit of trouble for the group. Although it will lose a few hundred million, it will not cause any serious damage.
It won't be good for his position or shares, right?"
"It's no good for him, but it's very bad for me!"
Jiang Changqing said: "Once the stock price really drops, the newly established film and television publicity department will definitely be cancelled, and I may also be branded as a 'prodigal son'.
By then, I won’t even be able to keep my position as the head of the Ministry of Commerce, and his stupid son will be able to take over my position naturally.”
"Hey, they say that people who play politics have dirty hearts. I think those of you who play business have dirty hearts too."
Su Yiming couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Bring me the movie script and I'll help you revise it.
After all, isn't this incident caused by the script? As long as the script is solved, it will be announced at that time. Hey, it will be found that there is no plagiarism!
Isn't this reversal a slap in the face of Chang?"
"what?"
Jiang Changqing finally came back to his senses and said, "Can you change this?"
“Why can’t it be changed?”
Su Yiming said naturally: "To be honest, all movie scripts have something in common. We just need to change other people's stuff into our own, right?
By then, we will have applied for all domestic and foreign copyrights, and who will be able to say anything?"
"Now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense."
Jiang Changqing thought for a while and said, "I will send it to you when I get back. Please help me revise it. I will definitely give you a big gift later."
"Come on, why are we still talking about this, buddy?"
Su Yiming waved his hand and said, "But if Chang Yuming really did this, I suggest you talk to your godfather and kick him out of the group.
If you keep doing this, you won’t even need the group’s competitors to intervene, you’ll just end up ruining yourselves.”
"do not worry……"
Jiang Changqing was about to say something when Su Yiming's phone rang.
"Wait a minute, I have to take a call first."
Su Yiming glanced at the phone screen on the stone table and picked up the phone. "Hello, Director Li."
"Hello, Mr. Su."
The person who called was Li Chengfeng, director of Changshui Satellite TV!
