After joining the seat, Zhou Zhi looked at the menu and found that the place where they parked just now was the back door. He didn’t see the name of the store. Now he realized that the store’s real name is “Zhuxi Pavilion”.
Just look at the name and you will know that this is a restaurant that mainly sells Huaiyang cuisine. The name is taken from "The famous capital of Huaizuo, the best place in the west of Zhuxi, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times."
The dishes on the menu are also classics among Huaiyang dishes, including stewed crab noodles, lion heads, big boiled dried shreds, three sets of ducks, soft-cup long fish, crystal meat, squirrel mandarin fish, Liangxi crispy eel, etc.
It is good to eat Huaiyang cuisine this season. In addition, this restaurant is also equipped with green plum rice wine, which is really rare in the capital of this era, which shows that the Huaiyang cuisine in this restaurant may be more authentic.
Zhou Zhi did not have a deep study of Huaiyang cuisine, but he was an expert in eating this kind of food, so he ordered a lot of dishes that would not be disappointed, and accompanied by the green plum yellow wine suitable for Japanese and Korean friends, so everyone can eat and chat.
The dishes were very good after they came up, especially a clear soup fish ball for each person. Four white and tender fish balls floated in the clear broth without oil stars. A tender green vegetable next to it was nutritious, with a combination of color, fragrance and taste. Zhou Zhiyipin's soup knew it was an authentic Kung Fu broth, and he couldn't help but shout, "Mr. Matsui really knows how to choose places."
"I'm... learning and selling now." Matsui Sao said: "I came here once before and thought the environment and dishes were good, suitable for hosting guests with higher taste."
"Although you are foreigners, you feel that you are more familiar with the capital than me." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"We often come to this area." Ikedaqiu pointed to the next few places and said, "There are also several music bars by the lake, which are also very good. We and our friends often come over to have a drink. We can also go and have fun later."
Of course, eating and reception are not the main content today, and everyone's topic quickly shifted to the lawsuit that will begin in the United States.
From Zhang Siluo and Ikedaqiu, Zhou Zhi learned that Samsung and Sony were actively preparing for litigation, and he couldn't help but frown: "Shouldn't it be negotiated and adjusted? Why did he jump directly to the litigation step?"
"The situation is relatively serious." Zhang Siluo added rice wine to Zhou Zhi and Mai Xiaomiao and An Chunjia, explaining: "The music practitioners trade union is a relatively strong trade union in the United States. Because they used to control traditional distribution channels, they are more binding on music practitioners, and many music practitioners are also used to being managed by them. Therefore, they are very strong whenever they represent music practitioners to negotiate externally. Correspondingly, the requirements put forward can generally be met."
"But the demands they made this time are quite unreasonable and we cannot compromise, so there is only one way to litigate."
"What are their requirements?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"The most unreasonable requirement seems to require the digital alliance to be split into several parts, and the digital music part should be included in the management of their practitioners' union, and membership fees will be paid every year."
"What else?"
"There is also the benefits obtained by downloading music. The practitioners and unions must participate in the sharing of the share, and at the same time, they must increase the share ratio of the original creators, which is equivalent to deducting the additional expenditures of these two parts from our profits."
"In addition, the copyright licensing agreement needs to be re-signed. For music released by some new authors, it can be promoted through the platform, but the copyright needs to be shared by the practitioners' union, the Digital Alliance, the original author or the music company to which the author belongs." "Does our Digital Alliance now have the copyright together with the original creators?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"No, after the original creators upload their music, we obtain the authorization to use their copyright by default and share the operating income with the creators. The copyright still belongs to the original creator." Ikeda Qiu said: "In theory, this article proposed by the practitioners union is actually somewhat beneficial to the digital alliance."
"These conditions are too harsh, and we cannot agree to any of them." Zhou Zhi shook his head and said, "The last one seems to be good for us, but it hurts the interests of the original creators. In the long run, it is not good for the industry and the alliance. You can't listen to them."
"Yes, so there is only one way to litigate." Zhang Siluo said: "But according to past experience, this type of lawsuit initiated by practitioners against the capital will be widely sympathized in society. Music practitioners' unions used to lose less and win more, so this type of lawsuit is usually very difficult."
"Are you falling into the inertia of thinking?" Zhou Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Did you not notice the essential difference between the lawsuits initiated by the practitioners and trade unions in the past?"
"Is there any difference?" Jin Chunyi asked.
"I think that in the past, practitioner unions were able to gain universal sympathy in litigation and gain many past achievements. There is only one fundamental reason, that is, they are actually fighting for benefits for practitioners, standing with practitioners, and in terms of identity, they are the real spokespersons of practitioners."
"Yes, this is the meaning of the existence of the practitioner union." Zhang Siluo said: "It is also why they can represent music practitioners and become the main body of lawsuits from us. Is there any difference now?"
"I think it's different, of course." Zhou Zhi said: "I think at least this time, the practitioner union cannot be the representative of all practitioners. They can only represent the part of practitioners registered in the union, but cannot represent more entrepreneurs who do not have the opportunity to register for the union but can publish their works in our alliance, and they cannot represent the vast number of music fans."
"They can control music companies and then control celebrities through music companies, but can they control the vast number of creative enthusiasts? Can they control the wider range of connoisseur fans?"

Huaiyang cuisine pays great attention to knife skills, with fine knife skills, exquisite shape and mellow taste; in cooking, it is good at using heat and pays attention to fire skills, and is good at stewing, stewing, stewing, steaming, roasting and stir-frying; the raw materials are mostly aquatic products, paying attention to freshness, calm taste, fresh and slightly sweet. Zhou Zhi added a spoonful of squirrel mandarin fish to Mai Xiaomiao and said lightly: "Sorry, I don't think they can represent it, but our digital alliance can do it."
Everyone on the table, except Mai Xiaomiao, was shocked and there was some admiration for Zhang Siluo and Ikeda Qiu looking at Zhou Zhi.
Yes, the Digital Alliance uses online forums as a communication platform. This platform ensures the greatest fairness and allows countless free creators to give their works the opportunity to meet the audience, and thus gain a lot of benefits.
For this purpose, many music companies even secretly after discovering new people. Instead, after carefully cultivating them, they appear in the form of "amateurs" on the Digital Alliance forum to receive positive reviews, create a "grassroots genius" character, and then hype and promote it.
In any case, this method has broken the part of the monopoly of practitioners' unions on market resources and created a new business model! (This chapter ends)
