Chapter 335: Chapter 226: Copy! Everything is Copied? (5000-word Chapter)_3

Chu Wanning, the manager of the overseas operations department, heard that Lin Chuan’s new book “Arms Tycoon” was about to be released and grinned with joy, “Finally, it’s time to release it!”

Sailing Tower, within the lounge.

Just like pure lotuses and charming peonies gathered together, Youyou asked Wanning, “How is the overseas warm-up going, Wanning?”

Chu Wanning snapped her fingers and laughed, “The warm-up has been going on for a long time, we’ve planted ads on many websites, just waiting for the book to be released.”

“There’s a substantial audience overseas, isn’t there?” Youyou asked again.

“A lot, of course!”

Chu Wanning’s eyes sparkled with excitement, clearly anticipating Lin Chuan’s new book “Arms Tycoon” to perform well overseas. Even without any warm-up, Lin Chuan’s previous works had sparked a huge wave of excitement.

This time, after warming up, it was bound to go to the next level.

The overseas version of the Sailing Novel APP was also set to rapidly conquer the market and establish a firm foothold.

This was the expectation of both Chu Wanning and Youyou.

With full confidence, they started to busily prepare for the new book, including activities like the book launch event, subscription activities, and so forth.

By three in the afternoon, all preparations were done.

Mr. Lin’s new book, “Arms Tycoon,” was released!

…

In Southeast Asia, Fries Novel Company.

This was an emerging online novel website from overseas, which adopted a ‘free with ads’ model combined with capital investment, rapidly attracting a large readership.

However, the novel website didn’t have many web novel writers.

Because their source of works was straightforward.

— Porting.

Commonly known as, piracy.

Somewhat similar to a certain site in China, cough, SomeFun Pavilion.

Novels from all around the world were scoured through methods like ‘crawling’ to stock their website’s library.

Especially hit novels, which became their prime ‘porting targets.’

As for copyright infringement disputes.

Transnational literary infringement cases, in particular, are especially tricky to handle.

Plus, they have multiple hideouts, today they may be ‘Fries Novel’, and tomorrow they might turn into ‘Burger Novel’.

The ones that pirated your work were Fries Novel, what’s that got to do with Burger Novel?

Therefore, these types of websites, like psoriasis, not only disgusted the original authors but were also hard to eradicate.

This evening.

Night fell, the streetlights came on one by one, the scattering lights like stars dropping down to the mundane world, countless home lights created a picturesque scene like poetry in motion.

In a small building, around one hundred and forty to fifty square meters, bright lights were on, and the environment inside wasn’t very good, the only thing quite organized were the neatly arranged more than ten computers.

This was the headquarters of ‘Fries Novel.’

Knowing full well that piracy was illegal, they operated ‘hit and run’ tactics; thus, their headquarters was not conspicuous or grandly furnished, often set in ordinary buildings.

At that moment, inside the headquarters, several staff were operating computers.

A man with a small goatee and hands behind his back, a toothpick dangling from the corner of his mouth, walked into the headquarters with a somewhat arrogant gait.

“Brother Hao.”

“Brother Hao has arrived.”

The few people inside all greeted him.
