[Faith (98802/100000)].
"Almost there, just a little bit more."
His eyes scanned the numbers displayed on the text in front of him, and Xu Fu, led by Thomas Dewey, immediately entered the courtroom.
"Let's go, Superman, let's go!"
Just as Xu Fu's figure was about to disappear from the courtroom, a shout suddenly came from the crowd.
...
"Extra, extra!"
"The patent case between Xu Fu, owner of the Express Daily, and American Radio Corporation goes to trial today!"
On the streets of New York, Jimmy waved a newspaper and ran through the streets and squares.
Facing the oncoming pedestrians, Jimmy took a deep breath, grabbed his reporter's hat, remembered Mr. Xu Fu's instructions, and then shouted, "If we lose the lawsuit, the Superman of the Messenger will cease to exist!"
"What?"!
Jimmy's "terrified" description clearly attracted the attention of many passersby.
They stopped and looked at Jimmy, who was waving a newspaper, and couldn't help but ask, "Kid, is what you're saying true?"
"Of course!"
Under the watchful eyes of passersby, Jimmy's heart trembled slightly. He glanced at the *Messenger Daily* in his hand, then looked up to confirm, "I heard this directly from Mr. Xu Fu, the owner of the *Messenger Daily*. They said that Mr. Xu Fu has already spent a large sum of money manufacturing and purchasing television patents. If he loses his patent case, then it is very likely..."
He may not continue his Superman series, so this issue of the Daily Messenger may be the last Superman issue.
Jimmy's captivating description convinced many passersby for quite some time.
"Give me a copy of the Daily Messenger!"
They looked at the newspaper in Jimmy's hand and hurriedly spoke, thinking that this might be the last issue of the paper.
Passersby who were still half asleep saw this and joined in the buying without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, Jimmy's thick bag of The Daily Courier was sold out.
What happened to Jimmy also happened to other newsboys on the streets of New York.
Regarding fake news, if one trusts a professional lawyer like Xu Fu-Z-Meidari, Xu Fu has no chance of losing his television patent.
Naturally, in this case, there is no issue of Superman becoming a collector's item; all that remains is gossip in the newspapers.
...
Journalists' gossip boosted the sales of The Courier, a newspaper whose sales were already slowing down, but this method wasn't used more often, which is a real shame.
Install the latest version.
In this installment of the Superman series, Xu Fu introduces a new supervillain, Atom Skull.
Atomic Skull's real name is Albert McEllig, a highly talented but ill-tempered scientist at Metropolitan Messenger Laboratory.
When the comic first appeared, Xu Fu deliberately depicted him as a stern scientist in a white uniform who suddenly suffered a splitting headache during an experiment, causing him to fail. However, instead of admitting his failure, he blamed it on the incompetence of other researchers.
Albert: "If you hadn't been so slow to react, you wouldn't have made such a basic mistake in the first place!"
Other scientists said, "Albert, you just don't know how to communicate. No wonder nobody likes working with you in the lab."
Albert: "I don't need cooperation. You have no idea what I've been through."
In the subsequent comic strip, Xu Fu reveals why Albert McLean became him.
It turns out that Albert-McClos was born with a mysterious disease caused by epilepsy, which caused him frequent headaches. Modern medicine had no cure for it, which caused him severe suffering and made his personality even more eccentric.
In an attempt to treat his illness, Albert began communicating with the Metropolitan criminal organization "Skull Gang" in exchange for a cure. Skull Gang scientists modified Albert, transforming his head into a radiant skull. However, this not only failed to cure Albert but actually worsened his condition; whenever Albert's headaches intensified, his head continued to emit extremely dangerous levels of radiation.
With a headache, Albert begins to wreak havoc in Metropolis. His transformed skull has terrifying radiation, plunging the entire city into chaos. Some people who get close to Albert are tormented by the radiation energy of his skull and collapse to the ground.
The Skull Gang refers to Albert, who possesses this ability, as Atomic Skull.
Instead of helping Albert recover, the Skull Gang began using Atomic Skull's abilities to commit crimes in Metropolis.
However, Atomic Skull did not thank Superman for this. On the contrary, Albert became paranoid, believing that Superman had ruined his last chance for a cure. He began to hate Superman from then on, which led him to become the true supervillain Atomic Skull.
Chapter 850 Superman's Badge
boom! boom! boom
"Court is adjourned! Court is adjourned!"
Inside the New York Federal District Court.
With the fall of the gavel, the presiding judge officially adjourned the court and struck the gavel again.
After the presiding judge announced the end of the trial, the court clerk rose to organize everyone to leave the courtroom, announcing: "Everyone, please stand. The presiding judge and judges, please leave the courtroom."
After the panel members left, he spoke again and announced: "Please leave the courtroom, participants and spectators."
The presiding judge did not deliver a verdict in court. The lawyers hired by the American radio station were also a well-known American team with professional litigation experience. Although Thomas Dewey prepared sufficient evidence, including bringing in Fello Farnsworth, a teacher at Tolman High School, to testify, and outlining Farnsworth's ideas in court that year.
However, American Radio Corporation held fast to the imaging technology patent that Zollitin had obtained in 1923, which had become the prototype for its television.
In court, both sides engaged in fierce defense. Although Thomas Dewey was only the chief assistant to Xu Fu-Z-Meidari, he displayed pure legal skills and once gained the upper hand in the patent dispute. In particular, his opponent's actions made him grit his teeth and persevere, giving a glimpse of his 11 opponents' future "gangster nemesis".
Although the verdict was not announced in court, Thomas Dewey knew very well that his side would win the case because the evidence was in their favor.
On the other hand, American radio stations clearly sensed this as well, and after the presiding judge adjourned the court, they left the courtroom without saying anything more.
...
"...We only take copyright fees, we never pay anything."
On his way out of the courtroom, Xu Fu overheard someone from American Radio Company uttering this belated classic quote amidst media harassment.
"go out!"
Seeing Xu Fu and the others who came out later, the reporters rushed to their side, and the radio station took the opportunity to leave the scene.
"Mr. Xu Fu, do you have anything to tell us about the outcome of the trial?"
[Faith (99325/100000)].
Looking at the swarm of reporters, Xu Fu looked away from the text and answered calmly.
"There's nothing to say, we will win."
Xu Fu was neither worried nor anxious about the outcome of the patent lawsuit. After all, the American radio station had not won in its previous report, and this time he had hired a more professional lawyer.
"Mr. Xu Fu, it seems that American Radio Corporation has no intention of giving up its patents. It is said that they are already preparing a new lawsuit. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Not long ago, I accompanied Mr. Ferro Farnsworth to the American Patent Office to file a lawsuit against American Radio Corporation on this issue...."
Since the American radio company was going to mock them, Xu Fu naturally had to mock them too.
This patent lawsuit could also increase sales of The Daily Messenger and indirectly increase the circulation of Superman comics and television viewership, killing almost three birds with one stone.
...
“Mr. Xu Fu, the publisher has printed 10 Superman badges as you requested to match the latest issue of Superman Quarterly.”
Upon leaving the federal district court, Louise Walton immediately informed Xu Fu about the printing plant's production status.
"CBS Radio".
As soon as they entered, the driver started the car, leaving the reporters behind, and headed towards their destination.
In order to collect enough [Vera] in the shortest possible time, Xu Fu employed some techniques, including Superman badges. Louise mentioned that this was a tool he designed to increase the sales of Superman Quarterly by encouraging readers to buy and collect badges randomly attached to them.
Similarly, his purpose in going to CBS was to promote the release of Superman Quarterly.
The "Superman Adventures" radio program is ready, waiting for him to record the latest promotional copy.
Of course, CBS's cooperative stance implicitly expresses a certain position.
More than once, well-meaning people in CBS's upper management, including William Paley, expressed their approval of Xu Fu's future collaboration with him.
With the addition of CBS, Xu Fu is more optimistic about the future of television promotion, but the most important thing now is to fully assemble the last [belief] in the text.
...
"The Adventures of Superman, sponsored by CourierPress."
At 8 p.m. on the same day, CBS radio...
A new episode of the radio drama "The Adventures of Superman" was broadcast. Against the backdrop of announcer Cohen's cheerful advertising slogans, Xu Fu provided the voice-over for the radio drama version of the advertisement.
Announcer: "He possesses incredible and unbelievable adventurous characteristics, is faster than a flying bullet, stronger than a locomotive, and even exploding bombs cannot penetrate his tough skin."
Passerby A: "Look at the sky!"
...
"It's Superman!"
Announcer: "Yes, that's Superman, an alien visitor to Earth with strength and abilities far beyond those of ordinary people. Superman, the defender of law and order, the guardian of equal rights, and a brave fighter against hatred and prejudice."
Announcer: "Today, instead of broadcasting bizarre bank robberies, we're starting a new story with a comedic saga of Superman, Batman, and Robin. But before we join his thrilling adventure, let's see what happened at Xu Fu's house this afternoon."
The Superman and Batman story is currently the most popular Superman radio series airing.
Especially after the second half of the previous episode, "Batman on Wax 247," aired, CBS radio received a large number of letters from readers expressing their love for the collaboration between the two superheroes and their desire to hear more radio drama stories about them.
