The owner of this car wash shop is a fat man of more than 200 pounds. He is the car wash shop that inherited the family business and took over. This morning, several calls came to him.

The other party asked to find a man named Willy Gary. The owner of the car wash shop hung up the phone directly, but the other party called again, and it was a lawyer. He told the owner of the car wash shop that if they delayed their affairs, he would sue him for bankruptcy. If he could help them find someone, he would be grateful for giving him a reward!

The owner of the car washing shop took the phone, looked at the staff of the car washing shop in front of him, and shouted to the phone, "I'm a car washing shop here, all of them are car washing shops. Where are there any writers? Are you crazy?"

When the boss of the car washing shop was about to hang up the phone, Mikes, who was standing beside him, stepped forward with an uncertain look, "I am Willy Gary!"

When everyone heard Mikes' words, the car wash shop was stunned. The owner of the car wash shop and the people who had just discovered Mikes all looked at the inconspicuous car washer.

After taking the phone from the boss of the car wash shop, Mikes took a deep breath, and he vaguely felt something was about to happen.

"Is it Mr. Willy Gary?!" A questioning voice came from the phone.

"Yes, it's me!" Mikes said to the phone, "I'm Willy Mikes Gary!"

Mikes' last name is very long, and since he left Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, he no longer used his previous name, but instead took the name Mikes from his last name.

Hearing Mikes' words, a chaotic sound came across the phone, and then a familiar voice from Mikes came over. Mikes asked to the phone, "You are little George?!"

"Shit!" Clins George, the owner of Pittsburgh George Press, across the phone, cursed at the phone, "Damn it, Gary, you finally answered the phone. Do you know how much effort I have spent to find you?!"

Mikes was stunned for a moment, wondering what Clins George was looking for him. When George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh fell, it was not only Clins George who was unlucky, but also those authors who had signed contracts with the publishing company, and their lives plummeted.

Mikes is one of them. When he was a contracted author at George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh, he received tens of thousands of US dollars in copyright fees every month, and sometimes even more. In the mid-1980s, he also published a novel with a best-selling of 2.1 million copies.

He once used to support an apartment villa with an indoor swimming pool and gym in Annapolis, but with the decline of George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh, Mikes's life also plummeted, and in the end he had no choice but to go to the car wash shop to make a living!

"What's the matter?" Mikes asked Clins George. He didn't know what Clins George suddenly asked him for. George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh had declined, and the era of Mikes had passed. He didn't know what Clins George called him to do at this time.

Clins George said to the phone, "I have a lot to do. You can come to Washington as soon as possible. Let's talk in person. I can only tell you that the times have changed and a new era is coming!"

"Damn it," Clins George felt like he was talking nonsense again, "Gary, come to me to get your e-book copyright fee and share fee, $110,000, and then authorize me all the remaining copyrights. Come to me as soon as possible, you need to do things!"

I don’t know when the phone was hung up, but Mikes felt a little confused. He had been angry for so many years, and suddenly he had a royalty fee again, which made Mikes a little confused. He was a little suspicious of what Klins George said, especially the copyright and share of e-books. This seemed to be somewhat the same as the previous publishing fee and sales share, but it seemed different.

Mikes, who had been away from the book market for several years, didn't react for a while. The owner of the car wash shop and the car washers looked at Mikes at this time, but the eyes seemed a little different. They all heard the 110,000 US dollars on the phone!

In the ordinary middle class in North America, it only earns $40,000 to $50,000 a year, which is already a very good income. For example, the black car washer in this car wash shop earns only $3,000 a month. Now Mikes suddenly got the income he needed to not eat or drink for two years to get!

Looking at the owner of the car wash shop in front of me and several car washers beside me, Mikes seemed very calm, as if he was the same as the car washer before. "Sorry, I need to go to Washington, and thank you for your care for me over the years!"

In a shabby publishing factory in Washington, Klins George, who hung up Mikes, picked up the phone on the notebook and started to call.

Although this place is still dilapidated, it has become busy compared to a few months ago. The factory that had been shut down before has now started to reopen.

For Clins George, these few months have been like dreaming. A few months ago, he was carrying a debt and was preparing to sue for bankruptcy. Now he has paid off all his debts and the publishing company has begun to re-operate, which makes Clins George feel like he is dreaming.

Thinking of the electronic copyright transfer agreement signed a few months ago, Klins George felt that this was the most correct thing he had ever done in his life!

Who would have thought that with the outdated book copyright, he can now earn nearly two million US dollars in income every month!

What Clins George regrets the most now is not that he sold the copyright of the books under George Publishing Company of Pittsburgh to the Digital Copyright Association, but that he did not care about the share of e-books at all.

This made Klins George regret it. He only paid attention to the copyright transfer fee of the e-book at that time and did not pay attention to the subsequent e-book revenue share. So now, George Publishing Company and those copyright authors can only get 10% of the e-book revenue, and the rest belongs to the Digital Copyright Association!

This is a monthly income of millions of US dollars. When he got the first income, Klins George was stunned for a while, and then he regretted it, but he couldn't say much regret. After all, without the Digital Copyright Association, he was still a drunkard who was drunk, let alone reorganizing George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh.

Moreover, as the e-books copyrighted by George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh are resold on the Onyx e-reader, many readers have also begun to look for books to be held offline, which has led to George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh to start printing those books again!

The only thing that upset Clins George was the official letter placed aside, which was sent urgently today, requiring Clins George to cooperate with the work of the Digital Copyright Association and fulfill his responsibilities as a member of the Digital Copyright Association.

Clins George was not dissatisfied with the Digital Copyright Association, but was dissatisfied with the North American Publishing Association, which sued the Digital Copyright Association. However, after two good days, the other party began to sue him, which made Clins George hate the North American Publishing Association.

The decline of George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh was also closely related to these publishing giants. This is really a combination of new and old hatreds. Even if the Digital Copyright Association does not say that, Clins George will never surrender to the North American Publishing Association!

There are thousands of down-and-out authors like Mikes and George Pittsburgh Publishing Company, as well as publishing companies on the verge of bankruptcy.

You should know that at its peak, there were more than 8,000 publishing companies in the entire North American era, and now there are more than 5,000. There are only 1,200 publishing companies that joined the North American Publishing Association.

When Mikes relied on the Digital Copyright Association, the novel he wrote many years ago, reselled a big deal on the Onyx e-reader and earned $110,000, it caused a stir in the entire North American publishing industry.

Mikes is not the only one. When the other authors who cooperated with the Digital Copyright Association moved their e-books to the Onyx e-reader, they received more or less royalties. This made many down-and-out authors in North America begin to seek cooperation with the Digital Copyright Association, and even directly started registering with the Digital Copyright Association.

What shocked the entire publishing industry the most was the change in George Publishing Company in Pittsburgh. A publishing company that was about to go bankrupt and went bankrupt, started to resurrect in less than a few months after working with the Digital Copyright Association. This is what shocked the entire publishing industry the most!

All of this caused a strange phenomenon in the North American publishing industry. After the Digital Copyright Association was sued by the North American Publishing Association, in the afternoon, hundreds of authors and publishing companies suddenly sought to cooperate with the Digital Copyright Association and joined the Digital Copyright Association.

What made this scene reach its peak, and even dramatic, was that in the morning, the five major publishing groups in North America jointly sued the Digital Copyright Association with 1,200 publishing companies of the North American Publishing Association.

In less than ten hours, the Digital Copyright Association, led by Barnes and Noble Bookstore, cooperated with 347 North American publishing companies to publicly sue the five major publishing groups in Washington, the nest of the five major publishing groups in North America, and sued Penguin Publishing, Random Book House, Harper Collins, Hachette and other book publishing groups in the name of monopoly, improper, illegal competition and competition, and demanded the dissolution of the North American Publishing Association and the compensation amount was 4.8 billion US dollars!

As soon as the news came out, it was almost an uproar. The Digital Copyright Association not only responded to the lawsuit, but also countered the lawsuit. Both sides spoke out loud, causing the entire North American media and public opinion to be exposed for a while.

Today's lively is far beyond everyone's imagination. Almost all the media around the world have eaten melons for a day today.

Just like in the morning, the North American Publishing Association hired lawyers such as Ander Gruth and swayed around the New York Federal Court.

Before the Washington Court closed in the afternoon, the Digital Copyright Association also pulled its super luxury lawyer group out for a walk. When the lawyer group of more than 50 people led by Larry Songsini appeared, the entire North American publishing industry was almost in a mess!
