Latest website: In a somewhat cramped office, the president hung up the phone in his hand, and not much light was reflected into the window through the opposite wall.

This is... an office building with a very bad location, but they are already satisfied with the publisher.

The competition in paper media is too fierce, and this industry has gradually lost opportunities from the past, and has become a frequent misstep now.

In the past when publishing houses had a good time, many unknown authors came to the publishing house with books, and as long as they could print them out, they would agree to any conditions.

They used to do this often before. Of course, they would not accept those bad books. The books that can be selected by them are all very good books.

But soon a large amount of capital began to flow into the publishing industry, and publishing houses became increasingly difficult to operate.

Now instead of waiting for those authors to finish writing and calling around to ask who can publish their books, those purely commercial publishing houses are waiting outside the author's door early, waiting to sign a contract with them!

The president has even seen a salesperson of a publishing house acting like a nanny every day from morning to night, serving an author, and the purpose is to sign the contract as soon as possible.

Not only can they be shameless, but they can also afford to make money!

This has also made many publishing houses that are not very well-capitalized, gradually being eliminated by the mainstream in the rapid development of the entire industry, and in the end even the shadow of the previous waves is invisible.

This publishing house is like that.

The sales of magazines are very miserable. It can only be said that the costs of printing and distribution of the magazines are barely maintained, and the wages may not be fully paid off.

There is still a little income for various works and books, but these incomes are getting less and less.

Accounting has calculated that if publishers cannot find new sources of funding in the second half of this year, they will have to make some difficult choices.

Cut off his own work and turn it into a reporter station. While making money by selling news, it also signs printing contracts with other publishing houses.

The transportation cost of books is not low. Compared with printing the books and transporting them to other places, an additional transportation fee is added. It is better to find a local printing factory that can cooperate.

This is a good way, at least as far as the current market is concerned, there is still business.

It's just that no one thought that the turning point would appear in their lives so quickly.

"What did the other party say?" The vice president pinched out the small half of the inferior cigarettes in the ashtray and couldn't help asking.

Since they heard from their colleagues that a significant magazine was about to be launched recently, they found good luck.

Generally speaking, there are heavyweight magazines that start publications. The idea of ​​these people is definitely not to treat this magazine as a competitor or something, but to consider whether there is a chance to quit.

Where do you go to work instead of working?

And this time, with Lynch’s Blackstone Group backing, at least there will be no shortage of wages.

Many people thought this way, until someone raised a question, "Our magazine... is also called "Pioneer", right?"

The president swallowed. At this moment, his eyes were full of countless money.

The equity of the publishing house is not concentrated on the president alone. The capitalist always has a way to reduce his own risks. When business is not good, he diversifies the equity to the vice president and all his colleagues.

Using equity as bonuses and even wages to employees, really saves him a lot of money when the situation is not good.

And now, he could only think of a way to bite Lynch.

In the beginning, the other people in the magazine had simple ideas. Since they have the trademark "Pioneer", they sell it to Lynch.

What the vice president said at that time, everyone still remembers!

"We can ask him for... three million!"

He originally wanted to say one million, but after thinking about it, he said that one million is too small, so he increased it to three million.

Everyone took a deep breath, with three million, their good days are coming.

But the president put forward a different opinion, "Even if he gave us three million, do you think this money can do anything?"

At that time, his words cooled everyone's blood, "I am the major shareholder, and the shares in your hands are scattered and scarce. Some people may only get a few thousand of the three million! "

Yes, not everyone holds a few percent, ten percent, or tens of percent of the shares. Most people's shares may be one percent or a few tenths of a percent.

This allows them to take a few thousand or ten to twenty thousand at most, while the amount in front of them is three million!

Human greed and stupidity hugged tightly at this moment, and they decided to obey the president's plan.

If there is anything to describe, then this plan is...parasitic!

They use the trademark "Pioneer" to buy shares in Lynch's magazine, and then they occupy a certain share, and then they can work in Lynch's magazine.

"In this case, we can get equity dividends from Lynch's magazine every year. For a large company of that size, we won't get less than our direct share of money."

"What's more important is that we can still get a job. On the basis of being able to divide the money once a year, there is still a good job. Is there a better choice than this?"

What he said convinced everyone in the magazine, and even the cleaners who were sweeping the floor agreed with the president's idea. After all, he also had 0.1% of the shares in his hands.

That was the most difficult month for the publishing house. The president paid out the salaries of those who could not be spared, and the rest was paid out by shares, and it was over-issued.

After doing a series of operations, now is the harvest season.

The president waved his hand and waved away the inferior cigarette smell in front of him. He walked to the window and opened the window to let the cold but fresh air blow in.

He was standing by the window, and after a short while, the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

He sniffed, "No, how could they agree?"

"I know the habits of these capitalists very well. They will definitely wonder if it can be solved by other means, and then they find that there is no way to solve it, so they can only sit down and talk with us in the end."

"So now you don't have to worry, what you have to do is to spread the news through your channels."

"We have the trademark Mr. Lynch wants, but we haven't gotten close yet. Someone will contact us soon."

"At that time we will be able to use those inquirers to put pressure on Mr. Lynch."

"Of course we can also make appropriate concessions. If he does not agree to our request, then we will sell the trademark to others."

"And Mr. Lynch may become a joke among others. If you pay attention to Lynch, you will find that he has almost never failed, at least I haven't noticed it."

"Regardless of whether this is a coincidence or if he maintains it deliberately, he will definitely continue to talk to us, so you can rest assured."

"The money, on this condition, is just a small amount to him..."

Everyone praised the president's mind and thought that his method would work. After all, after everybody's serious thinking, they didn't find any logical impracticalities.

That's great, everyone starts the job at hand.

The law firm that Lynch worked with acted quickly, and the magazine received a subpoena from the court the next day, and someone sued them.

Moreover, there is more than one.

The president was a little confused about what happened, but he still invited his own legal counsel to consult.

Most federal people will have their own legal counsel or attorney, because most federal people may encounter legal problems and need the help of a lawyer.

After reading the subpoena, the lawyer made a few more phone calls, and then a lot of smiles appeared on his face.

These smiles made the president breathe a sigh of relief, at least it didn't look bad, did it?

"Mr. President, you don't have to worry too much, I have already figured it out."

"Did your magazine published an article called "Who Is Taking My Home" last year?"

The president nodded. He personally criticized this article because it was full of racism and discrimination against foreigners.

This kind of highly controversial and troublesome article is not dared to be published in all magazines, and it will get into trouble if you are not careful.

But for them, their lives are barely maintained, and they apologize if they are great.

On the contrary, such a radical article can bring them some exposure, attention, and even advertisers.

The article was full of content that discredited immigrants and minorities. As soon as it was published, it was violently criticized by society, but they also got what they wanted.

Attention, donations and advertisements from some people.

He did not hide what has happened, "Yes, what happened to it?"

"Some people accuse you and the magazine of discriminating against them. These are actually very small cases and can be resolved easily."

The president heaved a sigh of relief, "Then I'll take care of you..."

He didn't treat it as the same thing~lightnovelpub.net~ The lawyers didn't regard it as the same thing, and even the local courts and judges didn't regard it as the same thing.

Until...when the court opens on Thursday.

The outside of the courtroom was crowded with immigrants and minorities from all over the world. They angrily surrounded the courtroom with slogans "Against Racial Discrimination".

A large number of reporters appeared nearby to film, and some affirmative movement pioneers also appeared here.

What made the president even more unresponsive is that those who sued him, actually did not ask for much compensation, but they all applied for punitive damages.

Punitive damages and punitive fines are often punitive methods for the big right and wrong that exist in small cases. The passing of this bill is actually related to immigration.

In short, as long as the application is passed, the claim for compensation in the case itself may be only one hundred yuan, but the judge can issue a fine of one million yuan!
