In Oracle''s office, California.
Larry Ellison, founder of the second richest company in the global technology industry and the richest company in Silicon Valley, is looking at computers seriously.
Of course, he is not very proficient in technology. He is mainly responsible for the company''s strategy and "making trouble" to maintain the stock price. Now he is not at work.
Ellison''s logged in wangwen.com I''m so rich.
Not long ago, Wozniak, the "good guy" in Silicon Valley, recommended the novel to Ellison.
Nerd was very resistant to reading. At the beginning, he used computers very much.
Until one day, Ellison really can''t find any new tricks to show off his wealth, which can arouse the attention of the American people.
"By revealing to the media that it''s three feet more than Bill Gates'' yacht, Oracle''s stock can soar."
Ellison turned on his computer and said to himself, "I hope there are some new ideas in this novel that teaches people to spend money."
But just looking at the beginning made him very disappointed.
Total wills, just a billion dollars?
The daily cost of the protagonist is only tens of thousands of dollars?
However, the following plots made him feel a little interesting.
Once despised the protagonist, in the role of money, competing to please?
It reminds Ellison of his past.
I went to three universities, but I couldn''t get my diploma; I applied for six companies, but I was expelled within one month; at the age of 32, even my wife divorced me and didn''t ask for alimony.
"Please, I''m satisfied that you don''t ask for alimony." At that time, the wife in front of the child, disdain to say.
He looked at the novel''s ex girlfriend, in order to please the protagonist, at the same time with other women to accompany the protagonist "play.".
Well, Ellison admits that for a moment, he''s really in the lead.
Looking at today''s plot, he was very angry.
In order to give the adoptive father money, the protagonist deliberately reveals the place where the money is hidden.
But unexpectedly, the bastard named Frank took the money and took it for granted!
"Just like my father, I pay all the bills." Ellison sighed, "but never said I was his pride."
Then his assistant came in.
Er...
the assistant, who is tall and has long legs, is mainly responsible for Ellison''s "life" needs, which does not help his career.
"Mr. Ellison," the assistant said pleasantly, "the novel you often read seems to involve plagiarism. NBC is now broadcasting the court session."
Plagiarism?
Ellison looked at the computer screen and frowned.
He pondered for a moment and made a sign to the assistant to turn on the TV.
"As we all know, the copyright protection of late authors is a very serious issue."
"Of course, I''m not saying" I''m really rich "is plagiarism." The anchor''s voice is very serious, giving people a sense of trustworthiness.
"But as far as I''m concerned, what''s the difference between $30 billion and $1 billion?"
Huh?
Some time ago, NBC reported that Wang Jian was about to become Hemingway''s successor?
Ellison picked up the remote control to amplify the sound, trying to hear what the professionals who were testifying would say.
"As great as Leo Tolstoy, there are also novels like the adventures of blakino, similar to the copy of the adventures of puppets."
"However, after being pointed out by the critics, he finally showed his talent to the full, and then he had such great works as Anna Karenina and war and peace!"
“fuck!” Ellison murmured, "I can''t hear what the experts are saying!"
"Take Pushkin, the fisherman and his wife in the story of the fisherman and the goldfish and Grimm''s fairy tales, which are highly similar. Only after being exposed, can they really embark on the road of originality."
"At last, he became Russia''s" father of literature. "
"Then, at the same age, Wang, who has achieved far more than the two, what will he achieve if he corrects his mistakes?"
Ellison was shocked to hear this.
What was the speed of information dissemination in the period of Leo Tolstoy and Pushkin?
Now, what is the speed of information dissemination?
What''s more, we use Russian and Soviet writers to compare Wang Jian''s works?
NBC wants to completely cut off Wang''s writing career!
At this time, the TV screen, began to show the expert opinion evaluation.
Ellison closely watched the TV screen to see if his favorite novel was plagiarized.And then...
well, every other line is like a mountain.
He really didn''t understand...
"is it really plagiarism?" Ellison thought about it. It seemed that the announcer had a point.
In fact, there is not much difference in the amount of the will.
As for going to see the winemaker''s million gifts?
Come on, it''s just a novel. How can I have so much time?
"Next time you see Wozniak, make sure you laugh at him." Ellison shut down the computer, "actually recommended a copy of the novel."
"I''m a fan of Mr. Wang Jian''s books. I don''t believe that his novels are suspected of plagiarism." Announcer''s voice came, "but as a journalist, I will try to maintain a neutral position, please rest assured."
"Now it''s up to the defendant to submit evidence. According to past experience, it''s probably the author''s manuscript."
"I will use my only professional knowledge to analyze the differences between the two works."
A writer''s manuscript?
Ellison picked up the remote and was ready to turn off the TV.
That kind of thing is more difficult to understand than expert opinion.
After all, there is a final conclusion on the expert opinion!
But I didn''t expect that what the judge and the jury took out and what appeared in front of the camera were not words, but photos.
Ah?
I can understand that.
Ellison put down the remote control and focused on the TV screen.
"This is..." the announcer was stunned and ready to speak.
At this time, the defendant''s lawyer suddenly began to speak: "your honor, my agent can''t be present directly due to physical reasons."
"However, he will personally state the creation process of" I''m too rich "through a video tape."
"Considering my status as an agent of a well-known best-selling author, the image of him appearing in person will have a certain value."
"But because this is a live broadcast, we will temporarily grant NBC the right to play the video."
At this point, NBC''s studio backstage.
Wood frowned at the scene of the court.
It''s not a writer''s manuscript, it''s a photo or a video?
What''s the situation?
"Mr. wood, we can''t dub." The announcer turned his head and said, "we have the rights to court trials, but we don''t have the rights to videotapes."
"If dubbing, it is suspected of infringement."
Wood thought for a moment. "Well, if necessary, just cut off the signal."
"Wow, that won''t do." At this time, Lyman followed two bailiffs to come in.
"The live broadcast contract signed by NBC and Manhattan clearly requires full live broadcast."
He shrugged and made a please sign.
"According to the contract," a bailiff pulled out a document, "the Manhattan district court has oversight."
