Reboot 2003

Chapter 175 083: On the battlefield
Near the end of the year, the last snow fell in Longshan City.

2004 is about to pass, and 2005 is coming.

What waves await next year from all this?In the past two years, this seemed to be a very important issue, but it is actually not so important now.

In Shencheng, Sun Xiaomei handed over several lists she negotiated to Galaxy Investment, and a series of other investment plans are underway.And Sun Xiaomei has recently accepted more and more TV interviews, and on many social occasions, more and more seniors in the industry are asking questions.

The key to the specific discussion seems to be what he said before November—now it seems to be called "Sun Xiaomei's theorem".

——Once you occupy more than 50% of an industry's share, no matter how hard you try, you can't double the company's share.

It sounds a bit strange, and the follow-up seems to be comparing China Mobile to a bear...

However, after that interview, China Mobile was caught in a coaching change, and it didn't do anything to her.

And there are constantly other colleagues coming to her to talk about the industry and the Internet.

Even if she said that she didn't understand much, and she didn't know anything when she asked about other things, the others would just smile and toast her, saying that Mr. Sun was really dishonest, so they knew how to hide it.

And in Yanjing, Galaxy Music and Shuixiegetai are busy holding the digital music competition.

Because the competition is funded by Galaxy Music and Jinxing Music, Galaxy Music and Jinxing Music have priority signing rights for all contestants. While the popularity of Shuixie Getai is getting higher and higher, other content providers are unwilling to be lonely, and they are also planning their own behind the scenes. The Digital Music Contest, and talked about the conditions with the owner of Shuixiegetai, but at some point, they seem to have become a role controlled by others. The future of China's digital music is getting brighter and brighter, but their survival The space is getting smaller and smaller...

As for the Kuaikan blog...it seems to start with Chen Aotian, the founder of Kuaikan Media.

He recently posted a blog post that seemed to be his first public appearance.

This may be a moment of great historical significance, but of course this historical significance is not reflected now——

Only some early employees of Kuaikan and Galaxy Software, as well as later employees who heard some rumors, came to warm up with the big boss, but their voices were quickly drowned out by the large influx of foreign audiences.

After hearing the news, English Internet users specially logged on to Chinese blog sites to leave messages for Chen Qin. Some people expressed their support for Santiago and expressed their love for Getai en. Some users said they liked o-zone very much, and some said that galaxy Music tunes are also very popular in the overseas Chinese world.

Of course, more comments are insulting the ugly ui and poor user interface of Getai en. Some people are questioning why you don’t even know Lei Shidong, and some people are fanning the flames and scolding each other. With dissatisfaction with the news The situation started to get out of control, and in the field of blogging, Boss Chen’s name seems to have officially surpassed the pioneer blogger artist Mu Zimei, and even let Kuaibo.com pass After the previous slow accumulation, for the first time, there was an explosive user growth.

All the lively signs seem to indicate the fact that this year's galaxy software is already ahead of the times, it seems to be moving towards a wider world, and the last bump in front of it seems to be the relationship with Facebook. domain name dispute.

Just like most legal issues, for most start-ups that have difficulty surviving this month, a legal case is often delayed for several years, and it is impossible to delay the long-term judicial run for many years.

The domain name itself is a new thing. The early domain name management agencies were tools for personal pockets. At that time, Meilijian’s domain name agency was not much better than CNNIC at that time. After the emergence of ICANN, although it was still using domain names to make a lot of money , but at least the basic rule framework is settled.

While operating the domain name business, another responsibility of ICANN is to handle domain name disputes—although in the free Meijian market, domain name speculation is allowed from the very beginning, and it seems to be much more enlightened than CNNIC in the same period. , CNNIC now prohibits domain name transactions, and wants to monopolize this business into its own hands, but unfortunately no one cares about him...

But even so, malicious speculation of domain names is still not allowed. The so-called malicious speculation of domain names means that Chen Qin bought and sold domain names such as eagame and sonygame before. They themselves contain ea and sony trademarks. If they are sued, ICANN will confirm the existence of the domain After an act of blackmail, it is awarded directly to the party that owns the trademark.In domain name disputes, if the property rights are unclear, the penalty will also be imposed in the form of arbitration.

Since .com domain names are operated in Meilijian, all arbitrations of .com domain names are now taking place in Meilijian. Therefore, buyers of Tianchao domain names have to fly to Meilijian to defend their rights, and the cost of rights protection is very high.

There are even meilijian domain name speculators who specifically select Chinese buyers for litigation, and can turn this kind of litigation into a business. At the peak, 90% of the lawsuits involving Chinese domain name dealers can be successful. Although Boss Chen had a lot of cabbage prices Domain names, but considering the maintenance cost, I finally bought some high-priced short domain names and stopped. Those short domain names let Lao Xu sign the contract in advance, and eagame and sonygame were also sold to other speculators, cashing out in time up.

However, what should come can't be avoided. When it comes to this Facebook domain name dispute, it seems that arbitration is finally inevitable.

Outside ICANN's ornately decorated office building in the Bay Area, some reporters were waiting for the result of today's arbitration. Because of the copyright turmoil some time ago, the grievances between Warner and San Diego became more noticeable than ordinary domain name arbitration. On the last day of the year The arbitration case has also received a lot of media attention.

"Sean, I heard that you haven't accepted Warner's offer?"

Outside the office, Peter Thiel met two young Facebook guys preparing to enter the conference room where ICANN officials were making final preparations for the arbitration.

"Xu came to us again in the last few days, and he said he was willing to make some concessions..." Zuckerberg scratched his face a little embarrassedly. In order to regain Facebook.com and obtain financing smoothly, he thought of various ways. Such a method, such as finding investor Peter Thiel through Sean Parker's relationship, and even contacting Time Warner through Peter Thiel's relationship. Time Warner is of course a huge giant, but Because of their adversarial relationship with San Diego, they now seem to be just right as Facebook's white knights against San Diego's hostile takeover.

But if they reconcile with San Diego now, it seems that they are a little sorry for these middlemen...Of course Peter Thiel understands what he means: "It is a good thing to have ideals, but the domain name is the most important entrance to a website. If you can't even handle this, I suggest that you should make a decision earlier, after all, after this arbitration is over, no matter what the result is, everything will be different...you have to be mentally prepared for this."

Peter Thiel gave them a piece of advice from someone who had experienced it. After hearing this, Zuckerberg and Sean Parker fell silent, but at this moment, barrister Tom Sticker strode in: "Okay, okay , it's time for us to go to war, boys."

Sean Parker and Zuckerberg nodded to him quickly, but the barrister stopped, straightened his tie, and smiled at them: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here just to deal with those annoying Chinese people , the acquisition of you is just a proposal, we will not do things like hostile takeovers, anyway..."

He smiled and said: "I will help you fight this lawsuit with the standard of a professional lawyer, no money...and even if it fails, the acquisition offer still counts."

Did he hear what he said just now?The two young men were a little embarrassed, and quickly nodded their thanks.

But at this moment, the respondent arrived——

Among the reporters, Xu Tao, a savage from China, finally came out. He brought a lawyer who also looked Asian... no, it looked like he was from the mainland of China, and walked in through the entrance.

Tom Sticker suppressed his smile when he saw him.

"What a coincidence, the guy who hides around XZ like a mouse, I didn't expect to see your real face here." Tom Stick walked up and raised his chin rudely, "Can you understand English? I will pay you to go to the Chinese community to hire a simultaneous interpreter for you?"

Xu Tao nodded to him politely, and calmly replied in fluent English: "Thank you, Mr. Stick, who is nosy, I have already filed a report at the police station. If you have any questions about copyright, please go to Get in touch with our contracted law firm in San Francisco, and now that you've represented this domain name lawsuit, let's get ready to start resolving the dispute at hand."
