Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"What's the fuss about?"

"Chairman, someone sued us!"

"Prosecution? It's not the first time, why don't you understand the routine?"

Liu Dejian said displeased.

There are a large number of pirated apps in 91. Some developers sued before, but as soon as they sued, 91 was taken off the shelves immediately, and then put on an innocent look: "I am not strict in censorship, I apologize, I am just a platform, in the future Be careful!"

The litigation cycle is long, and the punishment is small, and the developers finally let it go.

"It's different this time, Mai Li sued us!"

The secretary turned on the news, and Liu Dejian took a look. Maili Video had just issued a statement:

"91 Wireless moved 136 video content from this website to its own APP platform without authorization, seriously infringing Balabala... It has formally filed a complaint with the Chaoyang District People's Court in Beijing to pursue its illegal actions..."

"Careful!"

Liu Dejian didn't take it seriously, but he was also afraid of delaying the financing of 91, so he quickly asked the boss of the 91 business department to inquire.

"We have indeed carried a lot of short videos of Mai Li, making a selection every day, and recommending them to users. Sometimes we even re-create them, and the effect is better than the original one. Of course, the uploads are all vest accounts, and we are only as a platform. "

The boss is even a little proud.

What does that mean? This is like a pirated book site, which has its own rankings and recommended places, and even set up an "author's zone", which is short of allowing users to recharge...

"Take it off the shelves, and issue another statement, Mai Li sued."

"Good! I know how to do it."

91 Shumen Shulu took down those infringing videos, and then quickly issued an announcement:

"91 Wireless mainly provides users with application download services and entertainment content, and only plays the role of information storage space. If we receive a report of infringement, we always promise to deal with it within 24 hours.

We have taken down the relevant video and banned the account to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again..."

After issuing the statement, the lawsuit still has to be fought.

The legal department of NetDragon is not a vegetarian either, and has cultivated a group of talents. Liu Dejian paid attention to the development of this matter, and felt relieved that it didn't cause too much impact.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, another lawsuit came.

"The famous Internet writer Tianxia Bachang sued 91 TVB for stealing the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series and "The Kingdom of Mystery" series, a total of 13 volumes!"

Then there is: "Liu Cixin, author of "Three-Body Problem", sues 91 TVB!"

Another: "Qianqian Music and Rolling Stone Records jointly sued 91 Wireless for stealing 208 songs!"

"Golden Harvest Films and Hugelive Sue 91 for Copyright Infringement!"

"Logue Films Sues 91!"

Why were you fine before?

In the case of domestic lawsuits, you can gossip in lawsuits, and if you lose the lawsuit, you can at most lose a little money, but not much. Overseas, people don't even know about it!

But it’s different now. Taiwan’s Rolling Stones, Hong Kong’s Golden Harvest and Hugelive, and Hollywood’s Rogue Films are either 99’s own industry, or 99’s friends, and they have formed groups.

In a short period of time, several subjects sued 91 for more than 500 infringing contents!

The overwhelming news is full of arguments such as "NetDragon's piracy kingdom", "91 was financed by piracy", "I have never heard of a pirate company being able to go public".

Liu Dejian is in great trouble!

He got Yao Yuan's phone number, but no one answered his calls, and nothing came of sending text messages.

I also asked my friends in the capital to contact, and finally called Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei's chubby voice was very gentle, and he said, "We are only protecting our normal legal rights, and we don't have any grievances against you, NetDragon. We will see you in court..."

Liu Dejian was a fool to believe it.

With a staff of three to four hundred people, NetDragon's annual revenue is more than 500 million yuan, and its net profit is less than 100 million yuan. It made a 91 by accident, but it was not its own strength, and it happened to be in the limelight.

The management is chaotic, family-run, and inexplicably arrogant. I am used to the smooth sailing in the local area, and I don’t quite understand what the big factory in the capital is doing. After thinking about it, I finally panic.

And what Cheng Wei did was just to sue?

Of course not.

His original idea was to find a short-selling agency and kill NetDragon directly in the stock market, so that Yao Yuan would be rejected. The method was dirty and it was easy to keep a handle.

But Cheng Wei did not give up. He spread the news widely in the mainland and Hong Kong, which caused the stock price to rise to 2.9 because of the 91 financing, and then fell again.

The drop was not large, but he was not happy, so he continued to increase his position.

Moved out a heavy artillery:

"91 keeps saying that it is just a platform, but in fact, 91 Mobile Assistant has a complete set of tutorials to teach Apple users to jailbreak! When users succeed in jailbreaking, 91 will provide a large number of paid software cracked versions, so-called free games!"

""Angry Birds: Star Wars Edition", "Angry Birds: Raiders of the Lost Ark Edition" and "Fruit Ninja: Halloween Edition" are all exclusive overseas games, but they appeared in the name of free games in 91 On the platform, the total download volume exceeds 2 million!"

"Cactus Studio and Apple jointly sued 91 Wireless, demanding an immediate cessation of the infringement and a compensation of 100 million RMB!"

"Back then, video websites abused the safe harbor principle, and later introduced policies and regulations, which effectively promoted the orderly development of the video industry.

Now the same chaos has appeared on the mobile phone platform. According to the interpretation of legal experts: 91 can apply the safe harbor principle without knowing it, but there is an exception in the case of knowing or should know.

From the point of view of judicial practice, editorial review or recommendation of a mobile phone software is regarded as knowing. "

Wow!

After the news came out, NetDragon's stock price began to plummet.

Cheng Wei is relying on foreign self-respect, and Apple is in full swing, and the weight of Apple's lawsuit is not comparable to that in China.

Moreover, Cheng Wei is subconsciously imitating Yao Yuan. In the video website war, Yao Yuan created a public opinion environment and prompted the official to quickly issue documents to regulate copyright.

Same now.

The so-called ruthless, full of Cheng Weixue, he kept releasing news, all of which were greatly negative news.

"PCCW Suspends 91 Financing Negotiations!"

"IDG is pessimistic about NetDragon's difficulty in surviving this catastrophe, and announced that it will reduce its holdings by 3%!"

"NetDragon's limit down!"

"The head of NetDragon's overseas business department has changed jobs, and the revenue of the overseas business department accounts for about 30% of the total!"

"Continue to limit down!"

"The technical backbone of "Evil Realm" collectively switched jobs, the game suddenly stopped serving, and it is said that the project team has been hollowed out."

"NetDragon Suspends Trading!"

…………

In the office.

The lights were not turned on at night, and Liu Dejian sat alone in the room, with the light of the cigarette flickering.

He panicked, confused, and even a little dazed.

He never imagined that a big factory's aggression would be so fast and violent, or in other words, he really didn't know that there are so many ways to attack a company.

Financing, yellow!

Reputation stinks!

Talent, gone!

The stock price is even more pitiful. If the stock price was not directly related to bankruptcy, the company would have been scrapped long ago. In fact, it is almost the same if it is not abandoned. If "Magic Domain" cannot resume normal operations as soon as possible, then the company will really go bankrupt.

And right now there are still a bunch of lawsuits to be fought. He has no doubt that the authorities are already studying how to strengthen supervision, because he suddenly understands that a company can really affect the policy...

Liu Dejian's situation was opened up in this way.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Director!"

The secretary came in cautiously, hesitating to speak.

"What's the news, tell me!"

Liu Dejian has been broken.

"360 announced its entry into the mobile phone APP market and launched a comprehensive mobile phone housekeeper platform, including software downloads, security antivirus, intelligent memory saving, data exchange between computers and mobile phones, and traffic monitoring..."

"..."

Liu Dejian was speechless and sighed for a long time. He originally wanted to get through this difficult time, get back together and work hard on the 91 platform.

But as soon as I heard that 360 came into play, I knew there was nothing going on.

Not to mention the timing of the 91 rectification, how much development 360 will have, even if the two meet head-to-head, he has no confidence to do it against each other.

Don't look at 360 being called mother by Tencent, it is still a national-level product.

"A complete defeat!"

Liu Dejian fell into a daze again. His years of business concepts were directly destroyed, and he kept looking back and reflecting. Where did I go wrong?

Or the reason is very simple, the other party is big and you are small.

That's all.

…………

"Oh, the brave will eventually become a dragon!"

In the capital, Yao Yuan shed a few crocodile tears and said, "I hated this kind of method the most, but I didn't expect that it would give me the pleasure of bullying the weak."

"Forget it, you have never been a brave man, what kind of dragon can you become?"

Yinyin rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, shall I find a lighting factory to buy it?"

"what?"

"When you are hung up in the future, you can also hang a better-looking street lamp."

"Tch! I, I..."

Yao Yuan patted his chest: "I am now a patriotic entrepreneur!"

(no more...)
