Sprinkle coins every day

Chapter 147: It's a plan, an eye for an eye!
Sunday, May 2.

Germination Building.

During the weekend holiday, Zhang Shuo seldom showed up at the company, and the reason was naturally that Tengda sued Weixin.

Although this incident happened yesterday, Zhang Shuo did not call the relevant executives for a meeting at the first time, but gave them a day to investigate and discuss.

It is impossible for anyone who encounters such an emergency to give advice immediately.

During the meeting in the morning, Zhao Mingchuan, the general manager of Qinghe Technology, and Wu Xian, the manager of the legal department of the holding company, both had a pair of panda eyes.

Needless to say, last night must have been up all night.

"Who's going to talk about the situation?"

After Zhang Shuo sat down, he looked at Zhao Mingchuan and Wu Xian.

Jiang Yue also said that she would work overtime, but was stopped by Zhang Shuo. She had been on duty at the company during the Spring Festival holiday and was unable to spend time with her family.

It's a bit too cruel to wait for a weekend to take a single break now, and then let people work overtime.

"Let me tell you."

In the face of intellectual property litigation, Wu Xian, the manager of the legal department, naturally did his part.

In the past few months, although Zhang Shuo had few opportunities to meet Wu Xian alone, the legal department was actually one of the busiest departments in the holding company.

Just to deal with the plagiarism of the three games of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, there have been no less than ten lawsuits.

It still maintains an impressive record of victory.

Every time the Ministry of Justice wins a plagiarism lawsuit, the compensation paid by the defendant is at least three to five million, and the highest compensation is even as high as one thousand and five million.

Invisibly created a lot of KPI.

At the same time, with the overall rise of the Germination Department, under the instruction of Zhang Shuo, the legal department of the holding company has indeed recruited many elites in the legal field.

Especially in terms of intellectual property rights, two authoritative expert consultants were invited.

because of this.

Wu Xian can be regarded as a firm foothold in the holding company.

"From yesterday morning to the present, the legal department, together with Qinghe Technology, also invited experts in intellectual property rights to a meeting to study and analyze Tenda's complaint one by one. The conclusion is that the function of the drift bottle does not belong to exclusive intellectual property rights. We The chance of winning this lawsuit is more than [-]%. The only problem may be that it will be very troublesome in terms of proof, and the case will drag on for a long time."

Wu Xian seemed confident.

If the object of the lawsuit is not Tengda, he can even say that he is [-]% sure.

"In response to Tenda's request for Weixin to be taken off the shelf for rectification, the technical department has also made a plan overnight. If necessary, a temporary update can be used to remove the drift bottle function." Zhao Mingchuan added.

In fact.

With the development of Weixin to its current scale, it no longer relies on the function of the drift bottle.

In the original time and space, a few years after Weixin went online, not to mention the drifting bottle, even the popular functions such as "people nearby" and "shake it" have gradually become tasteless and have withdrawn from the stage of history.

Because the strangers shaken are either tea sellers or tea art masters.

With the continuous expansion of functions, Weixin has also transformed from a simple social software to a platform software that integrates various functions such as payment, official account, small program, short video, and live broadcast.

"very good!"

Zhang Shuo was obviously satisfied with the efficiency of the legal department, and asked another question: "Tengda's Weichat has also been launched. Is Weixin plagiarized in danger?"

"That's a lot."

Mentioning this, Zhao Mingchuan was very upset: "Not to mention anything else, just hearing the name is touching us."

"There is also the overall UI design of Weichat, including icons. Although it has been differentiated in terms of color and color saturation, people in the industry can tell at a glance that it is imitating our Weixin."

"The most shameless thing is—"

"Weixin has people nearby, and Weichat has people around; Weixin shakes, Weichat shakes. The whole Weichat is a copycat version of Weixin. Fortunately, Tengda has the face to dare to sue We copy."

"It's really the wicked who file the complaint first."

"Disgusting fucking open the door to disgusting—disgusting home!!!"

It can be seen that Zhao Mingchuan was really angry with Tengda, and he began to breathe out.

"Then prepare the litigation materials."

Of course, Zhang Shuo is not a fool. To Tengda, other companies are cowardly, but he is not cowardly.

Just the front is just the front.

"No problem, the relevant materials are already being prepared, and the lawsuit can be brought to the court as soon as next week." Wu Xian was also unequivocal.

"do not!"

But Zhang Shuo waved his hand suddenly, "Don't worry, the chain of evidence has been solidified, and there is no rush to sue."

"why?"

Wu Xian didn't understand this operation.

"Just imagine, if we follow the normal process, we sue Tengda, Tengda sues us, and the two sides blame each other and argue with each other. How long will this lawsuit battle last?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"It can be as little as half a year, or as long as one or two years."

"That's it."

Zhang Shuo's eyes flickered, "Tengda filed an intellectual property lawsuit against Weixin before the release of Weichat. It was not really to win us, but to tie Weichat and Weixin together for marketing."

In order to achieve today's popularity, Weixin took five months and cost nearly 6 million.

The micro chat only took one day.

It can be said that the heat is so obvious and in vain.

"With Tengda's shrewdness, it is impossible for them to predict that we will soon launch a counterattack and sue Weixin for plagiarizing Weixin. But why did they do this again? There must be monsters when things go wrong."

Zhang Shuo may disapprove of Tenda's corporate culture, but he will never underestimate Tenda's strength.

Especially Tenda's professionalism.

Zhao Mingchuan was also thoughtful, and said: "From the very beginning, Tengda wanted to bundle Weichat and Weixin together for marketing, deliberately blurring users' understanding of these two products. Then use channels, funds, and influence Waiting for multiple advantages, and leveraging our strengths, in order to let Weichat catch up from behind."

"It's not just coming from behind."

Zhang Shuo shook his head, "Tengda's ultimate goal is to use bad money to drive out good money after the popularity of Weichat and the number of users have caught up, forcing users to choose one of the two, and finally achieve the goal of replacing Weixin with Weichat."

Not to mention sinister.

Just because Zhang Shuo didn't rush to the meeting yesterday doesn't mean he didn't do anything.

Insomnia is rare at night.

Zhang Shuo never underestimated Tengda, and even predicted Tengda's tricks, but when Tengda really showed the terrifying power that swept across the Internet, he still shuddered a little.

The horror of giants is not just talk.

The marketing expenses that Mengya spent on Weixin were only five to six billion yuan, but what about Tengda?A huge marketing budget of one billion was spent in one breath, but without even blinking an eye.

Uncover the power of capital.

If Tenda's own resources and channels are included, then the marketing expenses are estimated to double.

How terrifying!
Just because he thought enough, Zhang Shuo knew enough about Tengda.

"Socialization is Tenda's core business, and it can even be said to be its lifeblood. If we want to compete with Tenda in this field, we must be prepared to fight to the death."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Only then did everyone realize that the intensity and tragedy of this war was far beyond their previous imagination, and everyone's faces became solemn.

The air will freeze.

"So, if the lawsuit between us and Tengda really takes a year and a half, no matter who wins the lawsuit, Tengda will be the final winner?" Zhao Mingchuan swallowed hard.

"That's right."

Zhang Shuo nodded, deeply convinced: "Compared to Tenda, our only advantage is that Weixin was released half a year earlier, and this is precisely Tenda's biggest weakness."

If Weichat and Weixin were released at the same time, then even if Weixin is better than Weichat in terms of user experience and as confident as Zhang Shuo, they are not confident that they can win this battle in the social field.

It can even be said that it is certain to fail.

"So, the ultimate goal of Tengda doing all these things is to shorten the gap in time, it's as simple as that!" Zhang Shuo saw Tengda thoroughly.

Only by seeing through the enemy's final calculations can an appropriate response be made.

Otherwise it could be a complete failure.

Even in the end, I don't even know how to lose.

Especially against an opponent like Tengda who likes to "start first and come first". Before that, Tengda had already won too many similar battles in the PC Internet era.

For example, ICQ Game Center is to Lianzong, and Hero Kill is to Three Kingdoms.

They're all winning!

Therefore, Tengda has also accumulated quite a lot of experience in front-to-back battles. He is as cunning as a fox, but he has to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, and let the netizens shout at him.

This kind of opponent is the most terrifying.

"Since we have seen through Tengda's sinister intentions, we can't follow the opponent's rhythm. Didn't Tengda sue Weixin for copying the drift bottle function of ICQ mailbox? Then we will take the initiative to lose the lawsuit."

Zhang Shuo's words were astonishing.

"But if the lawsuit is lost, it will have a considerable negative impact on Weixin's reputation. Tengda will definitely not let go of this opportunity, stand on the moral high ground, and continue to smear and attack Weixin." Zhao Mingchuan was a little worried.

Tengda can definitely do this kind of thing.

In that case, the pressure on Wei Xin, who was already on the defensive, would be even greater.

"I don't think so." Zhang Shuo has a different opinion, "If you are beaten, you have to stand at attention. Since we made a mistake, we should correct it in time, cancel the function of the drift bottle, and not give Tengda an excuse. There is no need to die. Hard-spoken. I believe that users have a steelyard in their hearts, and they will not abandon Weixin so easily."

Compared with Tengda, who has a lot of bad records, Wei Xin's matter is nothing at all, and from the beginning to the end, it is not a question of winning or losing at all.

It's not even a question of plagiarism or not.

"The key is not to give Tengda a chance to mess around, stalk the heat for a long time, and bundle marketing. We will take the initiative to back down and take the opportunity to erase the only stain of the drifting bottle."

"In this way, Tenda will have no reason to continue bundling marketing with us."

"After the correction, we will sue Tengda's Weichat for plagiarizing Weixin, and we will be able to reverse the unfavorable situation of public opinion against us. Withdrawing our fists is not to coward, but to fight harder!"

Zhang Shuo spoke loudly.

"This……"

Zhao Mingchuan and Wu Xian looked at each other in blank dismay, and understood a little bit.

"In my opinion, the secret to the handling of the whole matter lies in one quick word - quickly close the case, quickly cut, and quickly counterattack!" Zhang Shuo's thinking became more and more clear.

"I really want to know, with Weixin losing the case before, how will the court judge Weixin's plagiarism of Weixin's functions such as 'people nearby' and 'shake'? Can you still use dragging tactics? ?!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.
