The trigger point of the conflict between Shengtang Group and pirated interest groups was a report by the famous Southern Express on April 9, 2010.

The report is like this. There is a scoundrel in a county in Shaanxi Province. He took the anti-pirated booklets issued by Shengtang companies and went to various bookstores to extort. After enduring it for a while, a young shop owner finally became angry and fought with the scoundrel. After being beaten, the scoundrel fled the scene. After dozens of minutes, he led several accomplices back to the bookstore and beat the young shop owner to death on the spot.

The report said that things like this are not independent and single. According to their understanding, since the Shengtang enterprises announced their methods to encourage the public to crack down on piracy, a new industry was born overnight, that is, the crackdown on piracy industry.

According to reports, this industry has basically become another source of income and expenditure for the underworld. Because, under the traditional Chinese culture, ordinary people are unwilling to provoke such right and wrong. The rewards from the prosperous Tang enterprises are not attractive to them, but those evil forces are completely different. They do nothing every day, and causing trouble is their expertise.

The plan of Shengtang Enterprises gave them room to perform. With these evil forces legally authorized by Shengtang Enterprises, they openly brutally exploited these poor operators, and many people dared not speak out.

The report also listed some cases in Guangdong, Fujian and Shandong to prove that the plans of the prosperous Tang enterprises are becoming a terrible means for evil forces in various places to legally oppress civilians.

At the end of the article, they said: "In February, the anti-pirated methods of enterprises in the Tang Dynasty were praised by the public. Over the past month, the songs of triumphants from enterprises in the Tang Dynasty were also heard all the way, as if piracy will disappear from China tomorrow. But this incident has allowed us to see the other side of the fact, that is, the seemingly noble cause has become a profitable means for hooligans and rogue groups. At this time, perhaps we should reflect appropriately and start to face the fact that piracy is a big social problem, not a simple economic problem. We need to think more deeply about how to go in the future."

Following this report are various reports that have flocked to the country, most of which directly criticized the simple and crude methods of anti-piracy by enterprises in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which added many unstable factors to the society. There are many reports full of attacking discourses.

Some newspapers wrote this: "Under the attack of rogue rogue groups and prosperous Tang enterprises, the entire Chinese cultural product retailer system is facing a crisis of collapse. Is this the situation we want?"

Some newspapers wrote: "People, whose interests are we protecting? No matter how wonderful words are used to package it, the biggest beneficiary of this copyright action is Shengtang Enterprise. According to relevant experts' estimates, Shengtang Enterprises may make more than 10 billion profits in terms of copyright compensation alone. In the name of righteousness, enriching their wallets is really a fine tradition that our great China has not changed for thousands of years."

When Tang Feng saw these reports in the office every day, he was in a very bad mood. He called Cai Hong and said to him: "Captain Cai, please send someone out to check if the situation is really as bad as they thought. Is it true that the spontaneous anti-pirated behavior of the entire China is dominated by the Chinese rogue group."

Cai Hong stood upright and replied: "There is no need to investigate this kind of thing. I can tell you here that this situation must be there, but it is not the mainstream."

"Then why do I see almost all newspapers criticizing us?" Tang Feng spread out the newspaper and asked Cai Hong, "What the hell is going on?"

"It's very simple. This is the backlash of the pirated group and it's not worth mentioning." Cai Hong pressed his hand on the newspaper and continued, "If this level of pressure cannot be tolerated, then you shouldn't have launched such a large movement."

"It's not that I can't bear the pressure, I just..." Tang Feng said this and waved his hand with some annoyance. "I'm just worried that there will be many rogue groups to use our power to blackmail those retailers at the bottom."

"Even if that's the case, what's so great?" Cai Hong smiled and said disrespectfully. "What we are facing now is a war. Our strategic goal is to eliminate piracy and carry out structural destruction from production to sales systems. As for things like rogue groups, it was taken for granted that they had taken advantage of our actions from the very beginning. However, to some extent, their role in achieving our goals is huge. Because their existence may force those pirated retailers to withdraw from the market, and at least, they can also increase their costs. This is beneficial to us."

"I know you're right, but if you let this situation go, I don't know how many retailers will suffer bad luck because of this." Tang Feng said, sighing, "This is not the situation I want to see."

When Cai Hong heard Tang Feng say this, he laughed a little disapprovingly, but after he finished laughing, he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Tang Feng asked, "I know you have something to say, just say something."

Cai Hong smiled and said, "There is nothing special. I just think that what you said just now is very comedic."

"What's the meaning?"

Cai Hong looked at Tang Feng and said, "If I was not wrong, in China today, tens of thousands of retailers operating pirated copies are struggling and the person on the verge of bankruptcy is called Tang Feng. The damage he caused to these people is far greater than that of the underworld."

"Are you laughing at my cat crying rat?" Tang Feng asked a little displeasure.

"I don't mean that. I just want to remind you some facts, that is, the movement you launched is at the cost of destroying the interests of these people. Your current level of sympathy is meaningless to either party." Cai Hong said, pressing his hand on the table. "When you made up your mind to do this, you should have expected that there will be today, and you should have expected that there will be tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people who will be changed because of your decision. Since you have expected it, you have the responsibility to bear all this."

"Faced with all the consequences you bring, this is the most basic quality of a leader." Cai Hong looked at Tang Feng seriously, "Please remember my words. Any great man who created great happiness for mankind has inevitably carried the pain he created for mankind with his own hands. Happiness will not be obtained out of thin air, it must be able to grow out of the pain. This is true for a person and a country."
