Chapter 957 Do not have a purpose
Looking at Reynold Regio on the stage, Duke League immediately knew that Chen Chu was going to make trouble with the Digital Book World Conference today. If you want to -free - read - complete - complete - version, please search on Baidu -
Seeing Reynold Reggio throwing out the terms of the so-called rules of the e-book industry, Duke League knew that today I might suffer a loss.
Although he was a little angry, today, in such an occasion, especially in front of so many media, Duke League could not express it even if he was dissatisfied. Seeing the media's camera sweeping towards them, Duke League still had to continue to smile.
Chen Chu did not take the words of Duke League in his heart, but just smiled and said, "The words of the President of Duke League are serious. Mencius, a sage from my country more than two thousand years ago, once said that if you do not follow rules, you will not be able to make a square basis. You don't want the e-book industry to develop without rules. Let piracy and infringement spread the entire e-book industry?!"
"I..." Duke League was choked and couldn't speak. If you want to say which industry hates piracy the most, then books, film and television and music are definitely three brothers in distress. Every year, in order to combat piracy, a huge amount of money is required to be paid. He can't say he supports it.
"But that's not now!" Duke League whispered.
Chen Chuke ignored Duke League, but glanced at the entire scene, and said to Duke League, "Is there any more suitable opportunity than now?"
Duke League was a little speechless for a moment. In front of so many representatives of publishing companies, in front of so many book creators, in front of so many people on the annual book best-selling list, in front of two Nobel Prize winners, and one with the highest Nobel Prize in literature this year, through a system clause related to the e-book industry, it is full of style no matter how you look at it.
With the witness of so many people, the rules and terms of the e-book industry are enough to be followed by everyone. Duke League certainly knows these, but in this way, they have no chance to interfere with these terms. In front of so many people, even if they are not able to do secret operations, Duke League is sure that this is definitely intentional.
People at the scene were very interested when they heard that Reynold Regio wanted to vote publicly to pass the rules of the world's e-book industry now.
Those who were present today thought they were just coming to join in the fun. Who knew that they would be given such attention and be able to participate in the rule formulation of an emerging industry. For a moment, they felt the importance the Digital Copyright Association attached to them, which they had never felt before!
With so many people present today, it is naturally impossible for them to propose terms to formulate the terms, otherwise it will be a mess. Therefore, it is basically formulated by the Digital Copyright Association, and then the people present today voted publicly. When more than half of the people support it, the rules and regulations of the e-book industry will naturally be passed. If half of the support is not supported, the terms will not be passed.
Once the terms passed, they will become the norm for the entire e-book industry. As long as companies entering the e-book market must abide by these rules!
The reporters and media below were also excited at this time. It was surprising to hear the merger of the Digital Copyright Association and the North American publishing industry just now. Now, the terms of the e-book industry have been voted publicly. In the past, these things under the table have been directly mentioned today, which makes these media and reporters feel fresh.
Reynold Reggio didn't put forward many terms, basically all of them were the most basic terms, involving copyright protection, creators, consumer rights, and conventions and codes of conventions, etc., but there were also some private goods inside. In this vote, Onyx Technology was established in front of everyone, and Barnes and Noble Books became the supervisor of the e-book industry.
With this identity, no matter what the Digital Copyright Association becomes in the future, Onyx Technology and Barnes & Noble Books can ensure their rights!
The terms were passed one by one, but in fact, many of the people sitting below were still jokingly, and they didn’t know how much impact the terms they passed today would have on an industry in the future!
As for whether it will be passed, Chen Chu was not worried at all. More than a quarter of the people present today belonged to the Digital Copyright Association. In addition, Onyx Technology, Barnes and Noble Books and some people in China are enough to ensure that the terms of these e-book industries are passed smoothly!
Duke League's face looked a little bad, but after hearing these terms, he still wanted some face when he saw Onyx Technology and did not make any excessive requests, which made him feel relieved.
The people sitting at the scene could not have imagined that it was easy to pass these terms, but Duke League knew that it was easy to modify them. He could have thought that once the major publishing companies came back to their senses, knew that the magical use of the Digital Book World Conference, and knew that this conference could affect the e-book and book industry, and even the paper book industry, it would definitely become a place for countless publishing companies to compete for, and would never take it seriously like this time today.
Next time, if you want to modify or pass some rules and terms in the publishing industry, you must also carry out through the Digital Book World Conference. If you imagine this today, it will probably not be so easy!
In less than half an hour, the first rule and clause related to the entire e-book industry was successfully passed, and the entire scene immediately burst into applause. Although many people still don’t know what these clauses are useful, it does not prevent them from being excited. After all, it is the first time they have been in the book industry for so many years.
When Reynold Regio went down, David Gner and others came one after another. The original scheduled time for the first Digital Book World Conference was two hours, and most of it had passed.
Of course, it won't end like this. After the conference, there will be many small meetings, such as inviting JK Rowling, Dan Brown, Alice Sibbard to the selected readers, as well as Viswava Simposka, José Saramago Nobel Prize winner in Literature, and discussing the development of world literature with domestic and foreign creators. They are all full of things. After all, in order to invite these characters to attend, each of the organizers paid 400,000 US dollars for real money.
Of course, these characters are required to say a few more words to the Digital Book World Conference to expand the influence of the Digital Book Conference.
Until the conference was about to end, Tang Zhouming, the head of Onyx Technology, returned to the stage again.
Others had not noticed Tang Zhouming yet, but the following words attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.
"Thank you all for participating in this Digital Book World Conference sponsored and supported by Onyx. Before the conference began, we were thinking about how to rely on the Digital Book World Conference to make more things for the entire paper books and e-book industry!"
Tang Zhouming looked at Chen Chu, Chen Chu nodded at Tang Zhouming, and then Tang Zhouming said, "We decided to establish a World Literature Foundation, hold the World Literature Award, and donate 20 million US dollars to it!"
Listening to Tang Zhouming's words, countless people below couldn't help but widen their eyes. The reporters who were originally going to ask someone to interview all hurriedly raised their cameras. They didn't expect that the conference was about to end and there was still big news!
"In the future, every Digital Book World Conference, the World Literature Foundation will select a World Literature Award winner and award them millions of dollars. This money does not represent anything, but we just express our respect for the contributions to the literary industry!"
"As for the members and jury of the World Literature Foundation and the World Literature Awards, we hope that President David Gner, President Reynold Regio, President of Duke League, Viswa Simposka, José Saramago and others will be the sponsor. As long as you need it, Onyx Technology is willing to be the sponsor forever!" Tang Zhouming nodded to the audience and walked straight down.
David Gner, who was below, was shocked when he heard that he was appointed as a member of the World Literature Foundation and a judge of the World Literature Award, but his heart was touched involuntarily.
Onyx Technology, the World Literature Award and the World Literature Foundation were suddenly established, obviously for the purpose of gaining fame, and it is definitely impossible to compare with other literary awards. However, the key is that the World Literature Foundation must be rich. As long as you are willing to pay for the money, the World Literature Award organized by it may not necessarily cause any splash in the future!
Although David Gner is the president of the North American Publishing Association, in fact, the people below do not respect him much. If he becomes a judge of the World Literature Award, his identity may have changed, which makes David Gner look forward to it for a while.
When the two-hour Digital Book World Conference ended, the reporters and media on the scene immediately rushed towards the target they had already been starring. In fact, there are many big news today, and it is almost impossible to say that they have no urine throughout the process. It is the first time these reporters and media have had the idea that the conference will last longer!
There were a large number of reporters around the famous people at the scene. Chen Chu and Duke League are no exception. Journalists constantly asked about the details of the merger of the Digital Copyright Association and the North American Publishing Association, and asked if there would be another big move after the merger between the two sides. However, neither Chen Chu nor Duke League responded, but walked outside under the escort of security personnel. If you stop at this time, you will not be bothered by these reporters and ask them out, you will not be able to get out.
Tang Zhouming also surrounded him with a large number of reporters, asking him about the World Literature Foundation and the World Literature Awards. Tang Zhouming just said a few briefly, "This World Literature Foundation was proposed by Mr. Chen. We just hope to do some due things in the book industry!"
When the reporters who heard this were proposed by Chen Chu and who were also around Tang Zhouming became even more excited and kept asking for more details. The reporter also asked if there was a special purpose in establishing this foundation. Chen Chu has never been the kind of person who is aimless to do things.
Rebirth and rise against the current
