Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

Because if they really lost the lawsuit, the compensation from Geek Computer wouldn't be that significant!

After all, they had signed supplementary agreements with users, obtaining their permission to install Geek Chat software and various games.

This allowed them to prompt users when their QQ friends also registered for a 'Geek One Account', inviting them to add their QQ friends as Geek friends.

So, they had obtained user permission. If it really went to court, both sides would have plenty to argue about.

Moreover, even if they lost, it wouldn't be a big deal. Internet product infringement cases actually happen quite often.

For example, they had once infringed upon Qiandu Search and were sued by Qiandu, ultimately losing the case, but the result was only a few tens of thousands in compensation.

This is because the large-scale popularization of the internet in the country has only been for a little over a decade, and the relevant laws and regulations have not yet been fully developed, making it difficult to uniformly calculate losses.

Therefore, according to relevant regulations, if the actual losses of the infringed company or the illegal gains of the infringer cannot be determined.

The court will determine the amount of compensation based on the circumstances of the infringing act, not exceeding 500,000 yuan!

So, in this era, even if an internet company loses a lawsuit, it only has to pay a few hundred thousand yuan.

Compared to the vast profits gained, the large number of users acquired, and the wonderful financial prospects, these few hundred thousand are completely affordable!

And this is why Geek Computer Company would do this. However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Geek Computer also created a supplementary agreement.

This way, even if old scores are settled in the future, there will be something to argue about!

So, Geek Computer Company ultimately did it that way, and naturally, they were not afraid of Penguin Company suing them.

Therefore, Geek Computer Company began to organize a team of lawyers to rush to Shen City, preparing to fight a lawsuit that was destined to cause a sensation across the entire internet.

However, when the lawsuit officially began.

They published articles on their own public opinion channels and other public opinion channels, condemning Geek Computer Company, pointing out how bad Geek Computer Company's behavior was.

Pointing out how much Geek Computer Company's behavior disrespected user information privacy rights, and pointing out how Geek Computer Company infringed on Penguin Company's information secrets.

Therefore, they called on the Shen City court in the media to severely punish Geek Computer Company in order to completely ban this serious violation.

Relying on Penguin Company's huge influence, the four major portal websites, various newspapers, magazines, and even television news media all reported on this matter.

Even some media outlets reported on the conflict between Geek Computer Company and Penguin Company, and the war of lawsuits between the two sides, in the form of news headlines.

For a time, even the public opinion on Tianya Forum and Mop Forum could not help but change.

Public opinion gradually turned into accusing Geek Computer of disrespecting user privacy rights and accusing Geek Computer Company of being too shameless.

However, what no one knew was that this was actually an invisible marketing tactic.

Because being blacklisted is also a form of popularity!

This sentence was regarded as the truth by countless people in the previous life. For this reason, many people would rather be blacklisted by the entire internet in order to become popular and gain traffic!

After all, black traffic is also a kind of traffic. It will make people can't help but curiously want to know the situation of both parties involved.

So, along with netizens wanting to understand the situation of both parties involved.

A series of products from Geek Computer Company, such as Geek Computer, CrossFire, Geek Computer Security Guard,

Geek Network Management Software, Geek Game Online Platform, Geek Comic Online Platform, a series of products from Geek Computer Company, due to people's active attention and understanding, the number of users directly ushered in an explosive growth!

After all, when they search for information about related products, they will inevitably see the evaluations of previous users or industry personnel on Geek Computer Company's products.

So, with their understanding, naturally, a large part of them unknowingly became users of Geek Computer Company.

So, visibly, when Geek Computer Company was fighting lawsuits and public opinion wars, the number of users of Geek Computer Company's products began to skyrocket.

And this situation also attracted the attention of Penguin Company.

A week after the public opinion war, Shen City, Penguin Company headquarters.

"Let's talk about the situation we're encountering."

Ma Huateng said with a gloomy face.

The matter of Geek Computer Company's business skyrocketing in the past week has also reached his ears, so this emergency meeting was held.

"The number of registered users of Geek Computer Security Guard has broken through 50 million in the past week!

As for Geek Chat Software, their concurrent online users have reached 20 million!

Finally, in terms of 'CrossFire', their peak concurrent online users have reached 1.6 million, ranking first in the country!"

Operations Director Ren Yu listened and introduced the growth of Geek Computer Company's performance with a heavy face, the amazing results achieved in this short week.

It has to be said that Geek Computer Company's performance growth is really fierce.

This is only a short week, and their products have actually ushered in an explosive growth in the number of users due to the traffic brought by this public opinion.

Finally, thinking that the root cause of the surge in the number of Geek Computer users was caused by Penguin Company itself, it made people even more uncomfortable.

"It seems that our lawsuit with Geek Computer Company is really a very unprofitable thing."

General Manager Liu Zhiping said with some regret.

Sure enough, emotional loss of control is the great enemy of success. If he could have controlled his emotions at that time and then thought about the consequences of the lawsuit, then this scene would not have happened today.

But at that time, he not only lost control of his emotions, but also wanted to give Geek Computer Company a lesson.

In the end, even if the smart people in the company could think of the consequences, they didn't dare to publicly disagree, leading to the embarrassing scene that is now.

"How many concurrent online users do we have on QQ now?"

Ma Huateng still asked with a gloomy face.

"Thanks to the fact that many netizens do not use Geek Computer Company's products, a large part of QQ users still do not have a 'Geek One Account' account.

So users have no way to completely leave us. In the end, they will still log in to QQ to prevent someone from looking for them and not being able to find them.

But even so, our number of users has ushered in a wave of decline, and the result is that our concurrent online users have been forced to drop to 30 million!"

Hearing this, Ma Huateng's heart was bleeding frantically, and he really hated Geek Computer Company to death.
