Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2135 Active Rights Protection
"The thing is like this, our group company is currently promoting the genuine software business, but although BJ's place is the capital, software piracy is still rampant. As far as I know, many stores in Zhongguancun are selling pirated software, so I think the local industry and commerce department should focus on these matters, so that genuine software has a good development space..." Duan Yun said.

Duan Yun has been committed to the promotion and development of genuine software for the past year, although he knows that it is not easy or impossible to establish a good development environment for genuine software nationwide. , so now he is trying his best to do what he can to make some contributions to the development of genuine software.

BJ is the capital, and if this place can’t clean up pirated software, then the problem of eradicating pirated software in the whole country is even more impossible. After all, there must be a demonstration role in the capital, and Zhongguancun is also the largest CD-ROM software market in northern China. , but most of them are pirated software discs. If the source of this market can be banned, it will be very good news for the entire domestic genuine software industry.

"You want to crack down on pirated CDs?" Hearing this, Li Yunpeng couldn't help laughing, only to hear him continue: "I'm not going to pour cold water on you, it's simply impossible, at most these merchants don't show it in the open It’s sold on the Internet, but you can’t control it in private. There are still many poor people in our country. How many can afford genuine software? I know this business best, because I have done this business before, and in my electronic In the market, at least 1/3 are selling pirated CDs, so there is no way to solve this matter. Even if the leader of the Industry and Commerce Bureau comes to investigate in person, it will stop for ten days and a half months at most, and then it will come back to life immediately. Believe it or not?"

Li Yunpeng obviously doesn't think that Duan Yun can eliminate BJ's pirated software market problem through simple intervention methods, because before Li Yunpeng met Duan Yun, in addition to helping people "normally" collect benefits, he also worked for two years selling pirated CDs At that time, he only had a small shop in Zhongguancun, which was mainly engaged in computer spare parts, and at the same time wholesaled and retailed some pirated CDs, so he knew this business very well.

The main reason for the current rampant piracy is the low income level of the people. For example, if a piece of genuine Windows system software is based on European and American prices, a set of CDs will cost about 110 to 150 US dollars, which is as high as 5 yuan in RMB. The version is even more expensive, and the pirated CD only costs more than a dozen RMB. If you wholesale it, the price can be as low as 8-[-] RMB. There is such a huge difference in price, and there is almost no difference in use. Therefore, it is normal that pirated software CDs cannot be eradicated, and the government is unwilling to take care of it. After all, Chinese people have to eat, so there is no need to help the US emperor make money in China.

And for a long time, the prosperity of BJ Zhongguancun has been based on some smuggled electronic products and pirated CDs. The closure of the store is definitely not alarmist, because it has already become a very profitable industry and involves many stakeholders, so it is impossible to completely cure it.

Including the electronic city where Li Yunpeng is located, if this thing is really banned, there will be a lot less tenants here. This is completely a matter of smashing your own stall.

"That's true." Duan Yun nodded, and continued: "Actually, I also know that there are many pirated CDs here, but my idea is whether I can ask friends from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to help. I just need to help check a batch of foreign CDs. Pirated software is fine, but domestically produced pirated software doesn’t matter.”

"What's your logic? Haven't you been developing domestic software? Why don't you ignore the domestic pirated software?" Li Yunpeng asked in confusion after hearing this.

"If there is no foreign pirated software, our domestic software will have room to survive. Even if it is a pirated domestic software, it may become a user of genuine software in the future, so if we start, we must start with pirated foreign software." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Of course, I won't let you help for nothing. Just give me the amount of how much it will cost, and I'll call it back to your account."

Duan Yun naturally knew that it was impossible to do things without spending money in the past two years, and the reason why he asked Li Yunpeng to help with this matter this time was actually a long-term consideration.

Although in the long run, it is impossible to completely eradicate the domestic pirated market, but to a certain extent, the impact of pirated software on domestic software can be gradually alleviated.

For example, if BJ conducts an inspection of pirated software every three to five months or so, then he will actually have a little impact on the domestic software market. When new application software is released, promotional activities coupled with such pirated software clearance activities will undoubtedly drive the sales of some genuine software, which is a visible benefit.

In fact, these matters should be the responsibility of relevant departments, but the current situation is the situation of software piracy in China. Someone will take the initiative to protect their interests.

"Don't talk to me about money for such a small matter, give me a few days, and I will help you solve it." Li Yunpeng said very simply.

In the past, Li Yunpeng was not merciless in collecting money for helping others, but facing Duan Yun, he would definitely not ask for a penny, because he is now worth over [-] million, and without Duan Yun, he would not be able to Earning so much money, Duan Yun is a noble person in his eyes, and it is impossible for him to ask for money.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Duan Yun nodded in satisfaction, and said after a while: "Brother, I still say what I said just now, you must be calm about emotional matters, and for men, career is the most important thing." It's important, it even concerns your life, so it's taking a while, for a year or so at night, if you still insist on going abroad, I will do my best to help you."

"Okay, then wait another year." Li Yunpeng nodded.

Afterwards, the two filled the wine glasses, touched them and drank them all in one gulp.
