"It's here!"
An ordinary Ford sedan parked at the entrance of the hotel. Cheng Zhengchang sorted out his clothes, stood at the door and looked up before stepping in.
He naturally knew that Chen Qi, a Chinese man won an Oscar and had a box office hit, which was a miracle in itself. Especially for the Chinese who worked hard in the United States, he was even more envious and jealous.
But he didn't know Chen Qi in detail. Judging from the lawyer's letter, his style was very strong.
Cheng Zhengchang entered the hotel and turned to the cafe on the first floor. He saw a young handsome man sitting there, exactly the way he looked on the TV and newspaper. He hurried over and greeted, "Mr. Chen?"
"I am Cheng Zhengchang, visit me!"
"Mr. Cheng! Hello, hello!"
He shook hands and handed the gift over. Chen Qi did not refuse. He took it and put it aside, and smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng has a great reputation in the catering industry. It is admirable to be able to make a career in the United States."
"Don't dare, don't dare! Your achievements make us Chinese all over the United States proud. If I had known you were in Los Angeles, I would have visited you long ago. I'd forgive me."
Cheng Zhengchang's posture is particularly low.
In the United States, Chinese people are still engaged in catering, and their attitude is not low. Of course, some people are bad, and they will show a sense of superiority to new immigrants or smuggled compatriots and squeeze labor.
Chen Qi is obviously not included.
Both sides politely complained, Cheng Zhengchang coughed and tentatively said, "Mr. Chen, we have never had any intersection in the past, and we didn't know where we had offended us. We even sent a lawyer's letter. We are all Chinese children, which is quite sad."
He is only 40 years old, but he is very polite with the accent of the older generation.
"Oh, I can't do anything about it."
Chen Qi sighed, looking like "I am a good person" and explained: "When I was filming "Beautiful Life",
I found a group of foreign actors, but they were not used to eating Chinese food, so I had a sudden idea and asked the chef of Shanghai Film Studio to make a dish of dried tangerine peel chicken.
The taste is sweet and spicy with orange juice and chicken. Foreigners like it very much.
Then this year, I filmed a movie called "Man in New York", which was taken at a Chinese restaurant in New York. There were many scenes showing delicious food, and I took out the tangerine peel chicken again.
"Man in New York" was released in Christmas, and we were all preparing to promote it. As a coincidence, I saw that you Panda Fast Food launched tangerine peel chicken, which is basically the same. This dish is original by the protagonist in the movie and is used to show the differences between traditional Chinese and American Chinese. I won't talk about the specific plot, but in short, it bears very important content elements.
It is conceivable that if the movie is released, the audience will see that this is wrong! Why is the tangerine peel chicken original? It is obviously from Panda fast food, but if it causes controversy, it will affect the entire Olympic plan. Our film will hit the Oscars!"
Oh ~~
Cheng Zhengchang understood and was very depressed. How could a dish crash into a car?
"Then how do you want to solve it?"
"The most direct way is to temporarily remove the tangerine peel chicken during the release of our movie."
"No, no! Absolutely not!"
Of course, Cheng Zhengchang disagreed and refused to call you, saying, "You are too domineering! The removal of the tangerine peel chicken will cause us a lot of losses. It is better to do this. If there is any dispute, we will explain and say that each has its own inspiration, just coincidence."
"If the dispute has already arisen, what's the use of your explanation?"
"It's impossible for us to remove it anyway!"
"There is nothing else, I can only meet in court." Chen Qi sighed again, looking helpless.
"Mr. Chen!"
Cheng Zhengchang is a highly educated person and has inherited his family business. He is not easy to fool. He said, "I remind you that apart from trademarks and patent formulas, even if you sue, there is no question of plagiarism.
I came to see you today out of politeness, and don't force others too much."
"I know it's useless to sue, but I have to show the public that this dish is indeed ours, and that's very important."
"Hmph! In this way, I can also say that the tangerine peel chicken was created by my father ten years ago, but it was just taken out. We are first and you are later!" Cheng Zhengchang said coldly.
"You have no evidence, I have it!"
Chen Qi smiled and said, "There are behind-the-scenes films in "Beautiful Life". Many photos and images were taken. Ed Harris and the others can also testify that the crew ate tangerine peel chicken back then."
"you!"
Cheng Zhengchang was furious.
This is a terrible thing. As he said, it is inexplicable to sue. It’s cooking! One was invented in China and the other was invented in the United States. If it crashed, how can we determine the plagiarism?
It's just orange juice + chicken, not a confidential recipe.
But if you sue, it will have a negative impact on Panda Fast Food. Chen Qi saw that the temperature was almost the same, and said, "In fact, there is no way. It can not only solve this problem, but also benefit both of us."
"What's the solution?"
"Are you still going to sue!"
"Mr. Chen! I solved the problem with sincerity, but you were perfunctory to me again and again, it would be better if you didn't talk!" Cheng Zhengchang was so angry that he was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Chen Qi quickly called him and said, "Boss Cheng has been in the United States for many years, and it is rare to be so serious. Don't you know that lawsuits are the best means of publicity?"
Cheng Zhengchang was confused for a while and sat down. After hearing Chen Qi say this, he suddenly realized: Damn! This grandson was holding this purpose from the beginning, and he was talking nonsense in front of him, which disrupted our morale!
But he couldn't bear to let him quit.
Panda Fast Food has a rare opportunity to show off her face.
So, the two finalized a cooperation agreement to promote "People in New York". Chen Qi immediately contacted Price,
The plan was launched, and then we were waiting for Gong Xue and Huang Zongjiang to come to Los Angeles.
Capital.
It's the cold winter.
Snowflakes rose tonight, and the ground was covered with thick snow. It was the most comfortable to sleep in this weather.
If there was a man who could stand at 37 degrees, it would be even more comfortable.
Gong Xue’s man is in the United States, so she can only support her son.
The two of them hugged in the warm bed, and Gong Xue held a book and read to Zhuangzhuang: "But in the park and the Forbidden City, I saw the early spring in the north. When the ice still covered the North Sea, I saw the blooming plum blossoms."
Zhuangzhuang, who was 2 and a half years old, couldn't understand it at all, but he was learning to recite it in a speechless way.
"Xiaoxue!"
Her mother pushed open the door and asked, "Do you still have some midnight snack? If you eat, I will make some wontons."
"Eat, eat, two taels are enough."
"Do you think two liang is too young? Look at you now-"
The mother pinched her face and smiled, "To be honest, I like it very much. You were too thin before."
"I'm also thin now, I'm only 93 kilograms." Gong Xue said dissatisfied.
"You were only 83 pounds before! OK, I'll make wontons for you."
When his mother went out, Gong Xue snorted and continued to read with the book. Zhuangzhuang came over and laughed, "Mom, hello mom! It's beautiful!"
"Oh, you are so big, but you still know how good it looks? Why am I?" Gong Xue smiled.
"Mom is fat! There is more flesh, more flesh!"
The straight and strong man clapped his hands, looking forward to being praised, and the next second he was pressed on the bed and spanked, screaming.
"I'm not fat! Where did I get fat? I'm obviously the right one!" Gong Xue was crazy.
Chapter completed!
