Start earning money as the girl next door

Well, you can’t say that hard work is useless!

Just say it's Sohu. Sohu wants to get involved in blogging, Weibo, video, and e-commerce. As a result, it doesn't win every time.

There are a few tracks that have achieved good results, games. This track is originally one that many game companies can coexist with, and there is no either/or.

In addition, in the Pinyin track, Sogou's historical success is not entirely due to ability, but to the fact that there are almost no competitors in this track.

Easily in an unrivaled market, he jumped ahead and took away the biggest cake.

Now, Zhao Han was reborn and took away Sohu's original opportunity, and he didn't feel guilty.

Jingjing Pinyin has developed well, and Zhao Han has a series of ecological layouts behind it, which are far larger than Sogou Pinyin's well-developed pattern.

……

Sohu Company.

Wang Xiaochuan's face turned green and red, and he was beaten by the boss of the company. He was not criticized for plagiarism, but because the copy was too ugly, almost exactly the same, and it didn't look good!

In addition, Sohu received a letter from the other party's lawyer, requesting that Sogou Pinyin be removed from the shelves within 24 hours, otherwise, we will see you in court!

Sohu is dismissive of this. If you ask for it to be removed, it will be removed from the shelves. Who are you?As for filing a lawsuit.

There are so many plagiarists in the Internet industry, and there are so many plagiarists of all kinds of creative business models. If White Lotus, what kind of Internet would it be doing?

Not to mention, Jingjing Pinyin only improved the Pinyin input method, but did not invent the Pinyin input method. It is impossible to apply for a patent for the concept of Pinyin input method, not even anyone!

Thesaurus?What you say is yours is yours, that is a new word created by Internet netizens...

Even if the public opinion on the Internet is so fierce, it can be said that a thousand people have criticized it.

But let alone Wang Xiaochuan, even Sohu boss Zhang Chaoyang is not willing to give up.

……

Mid-February, Beijing.

The case of Jingjing application software company suing Sohu for infringement was heard in the Beijing court.

Well, Zhao Han actually wanted to sue in Anhui Province, but... it was useless. He had to sue at the headquarters of the other party's company.

Therefore, Jingjing Application Software Company sent senior executive Han Xiu and some technical staff to sue Sohu Company vigorously.

Sohu sent Vice President Wang Xiaochuan to respond to the lawsuit.

"Mr. Wang, do you really not feel the slightest bit guilty about your Sogou Pinyin plagiarism from Jingjing Pinyin?" a Sina reporter asked.

"The Pinyin input method is not the patent of any company. Smart ABC came out earlier in the 90s. Even before Smart ABC, there were some Pinyin input methods. It cannot be done. After the Jingjing Pinyin input method was released, other companies were not allowed to develop similar competitive products. Want to taste it?" Wang Xiaochuan said calmly.

"But Jingjing Pinyin Input Method has published tens of thousands of comparison pictures on the Internet. How do you explain it?" a Sina reporter gloated.

"What they said doesn't count. The clamor online is loud and does not reflect the court's decision." Wang Xiaochuan left impatiently.

Then, the Sina reporter smiled and turned to interview Han Xiu.

Chapter 364: Conspired with Sogou to act as other friends

Han Xiu was aggrieved and complained in various ways, saying that he was weak and bullied by a big company, ying ying ying...

Sina reporter Yile, originally her position was to hack Sohu.After all, peers are enemies, and the news portal is too crowded. With fewer peers, the rest will be more comfortable.

Next, the court was engaged in a war of words...all sorts of sophistry from both sides.

The Jingjing application software company is not bound to win. The main purpose is to use the lawsuit against Sohu to frighten the big companies.

Prevent big companies from copying in droves.

Sohu is actually stalling for time...

Even if you lose the fight, you probably just have to make corrections and apologize, but since you've already lost face, you don't have any shame, only benefits.

Therefore, Sohu's bottom line is that it is best to strive for reconciliation.

If you can't strive for reconciliation, just delay.

Users go up and pay some money. Well, the current compensation limit for intellectual property infringement is 50, which is a drizzle. No big manufacturer cares about losing money.

Then, the most that can be done is rectification, and the possibility of the software being removed from the shelves is very low.

After the patent law is gradually revised in the future, some patent lawsuits will gradually have compensations exceeding hundreds of millions. For example, in the home appliance industry, Midea and Gree sued each other for patent disputes. Later, the amounts were in the hundreds of millions. At that time, patents became increasingly serious.

To put it simply, at this stage, domestic original technology is at a weak stage, so the amount of intentional penalties for patent protection is extremely low, and everyone understands it.

Later, the number of registered patents in China gradually ranked first in the world.Flower cultivation has become one of the vested interests of the world's patent system, so patent protection has become increasingly strict.

The high-profile lawsuit against Jingjing Pinyin Input Method is not intended to harm Sohu.

In essence, it is an opportunity to delay other major manufacturers from entering the input method track.

……

For several days, there was a tense exchange of words.

Various media outlets continued to expose it, but Sohu used its connections to prevent some media from reporting on it.

However, it is impossible for Sohu not to lose face if a bunch of portal websites such as Sina, NetEase and TOM are under fire.

"Ms. Han... you know that the input method and Sogou's search business are complementary. You want us to remove our products from the shelves, it's very difficult for us to do so!"

After Wang Xiaochuan walked out of the court, he found a cafe and chatted with Han Xiu, "Although we did it wrong, but you...even if you win the lawsuit against our product, can you prevent other competing products from going online? Yahoo, Baidu, Google, any search company will enter this market sooner or later!"

"But now, your Sogou Pinyin family is plagiarizing us!" Han Xiu said.

"Open a condition!"

Wang Xiaochuan said in embarrassment, "As for the thesaurus, even if we don't plagiarize, it is enough to include ordinary dictionaries and dictionaries. Search engines will continue to count new words for hot words on the Internet and add them to the database. Not only is our advantage, other Baidu, Google and Yahoo!

Suppose they make a product that does not plagiarize you. The vocabulary library will be very poor at first, but I believe that in a few years, the vocabulary library accumulated by their search will be no less than yours.

Let’s put it into perspective, even if you bypass your company’s patent, it doesn’t mean that you can’t make an input method. You can’t register Pinyin as a patent…”

"We have registered patents for some incorrectly entered pinyin. There are also many patents for the fuzzy sounds caused by inaccurate pronunciation in various provinces. Intelligent adjustment of word frequency and word order, you can't do this!

You can do the pinyin of a single character, whatever you want.

The abbreviations of words and sentences are patented. Hehe, this is our heritage! "

Han Xiu said, "This cannot be explained by sophistry such as copying dictionaries and dictionaries. Some technologies are just technologies! Moreover, the audience is very discerning!"

"One million, how about a reconciliation between our two companies?" Wang Xiaochuan said, "The vocabulary library we copied is not complete! It also shortens the construction time of our vocabulary library. We have to collect the vocabulary library ourselves, and it will not take a year. !”

"Why don't we play a double act! The market for Pinyin input method is actually quite big! If the lawsuit is over and you guys get settled safely without any loss, if the award is 50 yuan in compensation, rectification and the like will be painless. It is estimated that input methods from colleagues will soon copy it.”

Han Xiu said, "If we act like peers, the introduction of the input method by the company's friends will be delayed before the lawsuit is over. Once a friend's input method is launched, we will announce that we will reach a settlement and license each other's input method patents.

Well, because we have the technical advantage, we will retain a little bit, and you have to authorize some to us.Then... our two companies are one of the best, occupying the top position in the market!

According to our research, Pinyin input method users account for [-]% of all domestic Internet users, which is almost equivalent to the user base of QQ.

If the two of us do it, it will be no problem if the first one reaches [-]-[-]% of Tencent's size, and the second one reaches [-]-[-]% of Tencent's size.

A bunch of pinyin input methods have entered the game one after another, and dozens of games are fighting. That kind of pattern is the biggest threat to you and me! "

"Hmm!" Wang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up. This was actually a fellow actor, delaying the entrance time of more fellow actors.

……

2005 2 Month 20 Day.

After the two parties agreed on the script with tacit understanding.

News broke.

"Sohu claims to have a unique patent and counter-sues Jingjing Pinyin for infringement."

"Jingjing Pinyin sued, saying Sogou Pinyin input method infringed on 16 intellectual property rights. In particular, the thesaurus was seriously plagiarized."

"Sohu Vice President Wang Xiaochuan said that the vocabulary database of Pinyin input method is nothing more than dictionaries, dictionary and some new words on the Internet. He refuses to admit plagiarism, but is willing to seek an out-of-court settlement."

"Jingjing Pinyin refused to settle out of court and insisted on removing Sogou Pinyin."

"Sogou Pinyin claims that it is willing to compare the source code and the source code is not plagiarized!

In addition, they said that if Jingjing Pinyin sincerely reconciles, they can license each other's patents and give Jingjing Pinyin a compensation of 500 million yuan.

In addition, Sogou said that the product was put on the shelves in a hurry, and it only focused on the development of software and not the vocabulary. Temporary workers did some disgraceful things to save trouble. We have fired the relevant employees.

In addition, Sogou sincerely stated that Jianghu is not a competition and can accommodate a variety of domestic pinyin input methods.In addition to removing the software, other settlement conditions can be negotiated.

Sogou is willing to join hands with Jingjing Pinyin to license each other’s technologies to improve the input experience for users in the Chinese market! "

"Jingjing Pinyin stated that it firmly refuses to accept Sohu's insincere statement and maintains its request for Sogou Pinyin to be removed from the shelves."

in a series of news.

The two sides seemed to be having a heated argument, but in fact, the two sides were already quietly discussing how to act behind the scenes.

If this big stone does not fall to the ground, the input method of the friends will probably not be put on the shelves.

Chapter 365 Xiong Xiaoge is here again

End of February.Zhao Han met Xiong Xiaoge again.

"Why did you get involved with Sohu?" Xiong Xiaoge said without knowing the truth, "Do you want me to make peace with you?"

IDG Capital invested in Sohu in the early days and had some friendship with Sohu’s Lao Zhang.And the Internet circle is so big. It may be a fight at first, but then it will gradually become more humane.

"No, it's just a joke! Before the lawsuit is over, the launch of other input methods will be delayed." Zhao Han smiled, "In the beginning, it was a real fight, and then it was an act. While the lawsuit was being fought, public opinion At the height of the crisis, some competing products will inevitably consider the stock price, and it is unlikely that they will rush into the market at this time for fear of causing uncertainty."

"You dare to tell me this?" Xiong Xiaoge couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't this trusting Brother Xiong? I think Brother Xiong probably won't tell anyone, and there won't be much benefit." Zhao Han said.

"I will definitely not tell anyone." Xiong Xiaoge looked serious, then walked into the canteen of Zhao Han's company and ordered a few dishes.

The two of them were eating and chatting in the cafeteria.

"Before, I went to Badu."

"Oh?"

"I conducted an on-site investigation on the development of your cultural service network in Badu, and it was surprisingly good." Xiong Xiaoge said, "I can buy movie tickets for 3 yuan in Badu. At Lihua Fast Food, I can eat for [-] yuan. It's pretty good. In addition, various catering services are also the same every day, and they are constantly coming in. I have seen some better restaurants selling dozens of copies of a dish a day. Not only are they cheap, they are even more expensive for dozens of dollars. There are also people ordering online.”

Zhao Han saw Han Xiaodong not far away and asked, "Brother Han, come sit down and introduce the latest operating conditions of Wenwen Service Network to the financial owner, Brother Xiong."

Han Xiaodong perked up after hearing this and said, "Okay! Boss, Brother Xiong!

Wenwen Service Network currently has more than [-] registered users in Jiangcheng County.

In the early days, the channel was mainly Internet cafes, but now it is no longer just an Internet cafe. With our continued and steady promotion, the number of registered users in the county has exceeded 1, and the daily transaction volume has stabilized at 5000 orders.

Among local e-commerce companies, I dare say that few use Taobao or others, while more use Wenwen Services.

Of course, we don’t have many traditional e-commerce products, mainly books, clothing, tea, electronic products, etc.But in the future, we will cooperate with supermarkets or major merchants to expand categories.

Over in Badu, more than 800 Internet cafes have been developed, basically opening up the main Internet cafe channels in Badu.

In addition, it has initially grown to 3 users, and the daily transaction volume has now reached about 1.7 orders. The transaction price of Badu is about 10 yuan per order, and the daily transaction volume exceeds 17 yuan.

It is estimated that the combined number of users in the two places will exceed 5 within this month.

In addition, we have contracted 400 delivery riders in Jiangcheng County and 700 in Badu. Most of them work on a piece-rate basis and are paid based on the odd number of deliveries, which will not put pressure on our labor costs.

Generally speaking, Jiangcheng County has consolidated its growth rate and will develop with the development of the Internet in the future.

Badu estimates that it will reach temporary saturation with 10 users this year, and then its development will slow down.

Since the development speed of Badu has exceeded expectations, we will deploy a group of key personnel from Jiangcheng County and Badu in March to explore the market in Huijing.

It is estimated that the market potential of Huijing is at least twice that of Badu.

Overall, we are now adjusting our plans to develop a new city every month, focusing on the provincial capital market.

The target for this year is ten provincial capitals, with a total user target of no less than 150 million.We strive to achieve a daily transaction number of more than 30 yuan and a daily transaction amount of more than 300 million yuan!

In this way, based on our 2% commission, the potential daily income is 6 yuan. "

Xiong Xiaoge listened carefully: "Your development speed is much slower than Taobao."

"It seems that the scale is small now, but in fact, it is slow at first and then fast! The momentum is getting faster and faster!" Zhao Han said with a smile.

"That's right!" Han Xiaodong said confidently, "As the boss said, although Taobao is an e-commerce company in the national market, it is just a platform and its foundation is not stable.

We are different. Once we conquer a city, we consolidate a place without any rivals!
