Riding the wind of rebirth

As for how to combat piracy specifically, Zhou Zhi has already thought of the music APPs of later generations. Relying on the current forums to stabilize customers, and then guiding and promoting through public opinion, holding popular talent shows, cracking down on pirated websites and infringing sharing, and many other methods, it is entirely possible to cultivate consumption habits.

All that’s left is to ensure that the software is easy to use and you can basically just lie back and count the money.

"Auntie just said there were two statements. Secretary-General Sheldon's is one, and what about the other one?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"There's one more..." Louise also showed a hint of admiration: "There's another statement from the Practitioners Association's attorney, Malmut. His statement said that in view of the fact that the Practitioners Association's president and vice president are currently facing investigations, he has decided to resign as the Practitioners Association's attorney and become the personal attorney of President Truni and Vice President Denor to help them deal with the current tedious legal work."

"Then how do we deal with the dispute with our alliance?" Zhou Zhi had never thought of this. In Western capitalist society, could there still be people like Feng Yuanhou Ying, one of the four nobles of the Warring States Period?

"The progress is temporarily suspended until the association finds a new attorney to represent it." Louise paused for a moment and said, "Or cancel it."

"Revocation is not a good idea." Zhou Zhi started to act as a military advisor again: "Our mediation this time has set a precedent for many aspects of online platforms' control over intellectual property rights, profit sharing, product supply, etc. This is very important. If through this mediation, the legal community, the press, and the general public of consumers understand and recognize the system we lead, it will be of great importance in the future."

"I think we should let Huron and Tony Huang actively contact Lewis. I guess the old judge will agree with what I just said. The fundamental purpose of this mediation is not to win or lose with the Practitioners Association, but to formulate a set of rules recognized by all parties."

"Or we can put it more bluntly and let all parties recognize the rules we have established."

"Sly wily old fox." Louise smiled and raised her lemonade cup to clink with Zhou Zhi's: "You still dare to say you are not?"

"Hey! Jeffrey, Louise! Oh my God, old Crawford's sweetheart Lily is back too!" A voice sounded outside the lawn. A fat, strong, bearded white man driving a pickup truck and wearing a sun hat seemed to have just returned from fishing at the pier. A row of fishing rods were stuck on the pickup truck. He parked the car on the side of the road, stuck his head out to greet everyone.

“Grandpa Crawford!” Mai Xiaomiao stood up and waved to him: “Come and have a barbecue with us.”

The old man's lips trembled with excitement: "Finally I see my little sweetheart again, come over after I park the car!"

"Who is this..." The old man drove to another villa on the side, and Zhou Zhi asked everyone.

"This is our colleague and old neighbor," said McGeve. "When we were busy, he would help us take care of the seedlings."

"Later, Crawford retired and moved to Long Island, and kept urging us to come here," Louise said. "He invited us to spend a vacation here, and we thought it was a great place, so we became neighbors again."

Zhouzhi is very familiar with this way of getting along with neighbors, but in his hometown, it is more common for older children from neighboring families to take care of younger children. Sometimes, children from several families hang out together and then choose a restaurant to eat at, which is a little different.

"Grandpa Crawford is a doctoral supervisor in engineering. There are many strange things in his house. When I was a child, I liked to call him Dr. Wonder." Mai Xiaomiao laughed and said, "I later fell in love with mathematics because of him."

Zhou Zhi looked at McGeve, who waved his hand and said, "I major in economics. I won't be able to tutor Xiao Miao in math after she turns ten."

The relationship between economics and mathematics is also very close, but... Zhou Zhi also expressed his understanding that economists cannot tutor Mai Xiaomiao in mathematics. Just look at Mai Xiaomiao going home to cram discrete statistics with his seniors and you will understand.

Soon, old Crawford came over, pulling a small trailer with a fish and a case of beer on it. "We had a catch last night, this right-eyed fish, at least 25 pounds!"

"Wow, what a big flounder!" Zhou Zhi also likes fishing. He jumped up and looked at the fish lying on the cart and exclaimed. "Who is this?"

"This is Lily's friend, he's from China, his name is George."

"Hello, Grandpa Crawford." Zhou Zhi took the trailer from Crawford and stretched out his hand to him: "Xiao Miao often talked about your care for her and your mathematical enlightenment when she was a child."

This was clearly something he had just heard, but foreigners also like the ways of the world, so Old Ka smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Did you say that, sweetheart? Are you sure George is from China? He must have lived in England, too?"

Many foreigners who met Zhou Zhi for the first time would ask this question, mainly because Zhou Zhi's pronunciation was very standard, and later, after being trained by Fu Xia, it sounded quite authentic.

"George has never been to England, but he is very talented in languages." Mai Xiaomiao jumped and hugged Crawford: "Grandpa Crawford, you are still so strong."

"You're quite strong, young man." Crawford and Zhou Zhi were secretly competing with each other when they shook hands just now. Now that Mai Xiaomiao has arrived, Crawford has to let go: "How are you doing in China, sweetheart? You seem to be even prettier now!"

Zhou Zhi recalled the time when his eldest aunt called him a family heirloom and Mai Xiaomiao burst out laughing when she heard it for the first time.

He shook his hands quietly. This time, if Xiao Miao dared to call him a family heirloom, he could fight back with his little sweetheart.

The right-eyed fish is a very large flatfish, scientifically known as Plaicebus flounder. Crawford showed it off with a smile, saying that this kind of fish can grow to over 60 or 70 kilograms, and his is considered small, so he told Zhou Zhi not to make a fuss.

Although it was the first time for Zhou Zhi to cook this kind of fish, he knew very well what flavor would please foreigners. He cut the fish into large pieces and marinated it with onion, ginger and salt to remove the fishy smell. He then coated it with flour paste and fried it. After that, he made a sweet and sour sauce with cola, ketchup, lemon juice, salt and starch water and wrapped it around the fish pieces to make a sweet and sour fish dish. It was very simple.

The meat of halibut is very tender, sweet and boneless, and is highly praised by everyone.

Zhou Zhi also fried the remaining fish bones, fins, and tails, and kept them warm on charcoal fire. When he wanted to eat them, he took them out and sprinkled them with pepper and salt, which also amazed everyone.

Old Crawford cried out in anger, saying that he had been fishing for flounder for decades but had no idea that fish bones and tails could be eaten like this.

People who go fishing generally don’t like to eat fish, so Zhou Zhi took this as a compliment to himself.

Although there was only one more fat old man and they started drinking beer, the atmosphere suddenly became much more lively.

The old man is an enthusiastic man, and his various engineering knowledge and skills enable him to repair a variety of things from cars to household appliances.

Another hobby of his is driving a lawn mower to help mow lawns. He mows the lawns of several nearby houses.

If you hire someone to do all these in the United States, it would cost a lot of money. But for the old man, it is just a favor, so he is very popular in the community.

This reminded Zhou Zhi of his cousin An Ran. He wondered if he would become someone like old Crawford after he retired. (End of this chapter)
