As soon as Zhang Shuo arrived at the company, he was intercepted by Liu Xiaohui again.
"what happened again?"
"Mr. Zhang, a new game "Synthetic Big Pineapple" was launched on iOS last night, which plagiarized a large part of the idea of "Synthetic Big Watermelon"." Liu Xiaohui had a weird expression.
"Piracy, that's to be expected."
Zhang Shuo is okay, but it can only be said that Chinese people are too smart and the protection of intellectual property rights is not perfect.
But he didn't want to reveal it.
"Communicate with Director Jiang. It's time for the company to recruit legal personnel and take the other party directly to court."
The law is imperfect,
Doesn't mean piracy can be tolerated.
and,
There will definitely be many similar disputes in the future, and it is urgent to establish a legal department.
"Ahem," Liu Xiaohui's expression became even weirder, and he whispered: "Mr. Zhang, I checked and found that the developer of "Synthetic Big Pineapple" is a new company established by Huang Kun."
Zhang Shuo: "..."
What is this? Mr. Huang is very good at playing.
"No matter who it is, the report will be true." Zhang Shuo was not prepared to be merciful.
"You can file a lawsuit, but for a small company like Huang Kun, there are only about ten people working in a residential building in a community. Even if you file a lawsuit, you probably won't even be able to recover the legal fees."
If Huang Kun dared to plagiarize, he must have already thought of a way out.
It’s done,
That's like making money in vain.
defeated,
There is no big loss. The worst is to file for bankruptcy and then turn around and register a company.
Legal litigation, especially intellectual property disputes, cannot be resolved in three or two days. If it drags on for a long time, it may take a year or two.
Until then,
Huang Kun had already transferred the profits away, and he probably couldn't even find anyone.
Liu Xiaohui also looked down upon Huang Kun's approach. What kind of person was he? It's a shame he had worked for someone like that before.
I feel ashamed just thinking about it.
"Then we have to file a lawsuit. At least we must show our attitude to the industry and don't be afraid of spending money." Zhang Shuo was resolute and regarded the money as a way to gain experience for the soon-to-be-formed legal department.
"clear!"
Liu Xiaohui did not insist anymore.
"besides,"
Zhang Shuo looked solemn and said, "Let's check carefully in private to see if anyone in the company is still in contact with Huang Kun."
After all, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was founded by Huang Kun, and the old employees were also recruited by Huang Kun. There is no guarantee that one or two traitors will not leak business secrets.
He doesn't want to
There were bugs in the games "Happy Match" and "Candy Crush Saga" that were being developed.
Already thinking about it,
While establishing the legal department, the establishment of an internal audit department should also be put on the agenda.
"There are still loopholes in management."
Zhang Shuo was secretly alert, wondering if things were going too smoothly recently and were a bit inflated.
and,
As the three companies got started, I felt that my energy was becoming less and less.
Always looking after the head rather than the tail.
The best way is, of course, group operation, where the human resources, finance, legal affairs, auditing, administration, logistics, information and other functional departments of the three companies are separated and managed by the headquarters.
There are advantages and disadvantages to group operation.
The biggest disadvantage is that it is prone to big company diseases and unnecessary internal friction.
"It's better to wait."
Qingcheng Retail and Qinghe Technology have just started, but Zhang Shuo still wants to maintain a "small but beautiful" team, which will be more conducive to development and prevent premature internal friction.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will handle this matter."
Liu Xiaohui issued a military order and he must prove his loyalty.
…………
A residential building in Pengcheng.
"Mr. Huang, how should we deal with the lawyer's letter from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment?"
"Go on,"
Huang Kun looked indifferent, "That guy Zhang Shuo is really ungrateful."
He decides,
Tomorrow I will change the legal person of the company to an old lady in a mountainous area.
See what he can do.
"Remember to find more trolls and continue to ride on the popularity of "Synthetic Watermelon". Don't care about the abuse from those netizens, as long as we can make money. The more you criticize, the more popular it may become."
Huang Kun really knows the Internet very well.
In order to compete with "Synthetic Big Watermelon", "Synthetic Big Pineapple" has launched a "completely free" banner. Not only is the download free, but the props are also free.
earned,
In fact, it’s money from embedded advertising.
The settlement with the advertising agency was another company indirectly held by Huang Kun.
so,
Even if the game company loses the lawsuit, it will not affect Huang Kun's actual interests.
What are you afraid of?
"If Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment wants to file a lawsuit with us, isn't it just giving us the popularity in vain?" Huang Kun was previously worried that due to insufficient operating funds, the popularity of "Synthetic Big Pineapple" would not increase.
As long as the popularity is there, he won't believe it and won't attract free prostitutes.
Chinese people still only accept free games. Many people would rather endure the torture of embedded ads than spend even a dime in the game.
"Maybe those people are scolding us online and playing our games at the same time." Huang Kun laughed.
"Mr. Huang Yingming!"
When the subordinates heard this, they were also very impressed.
There is a saying: "You are not afraid of gangsters, but you are afraid that gangsters are educated."
Our Mr. Huang,
Isn’t he just a cultured hooligan?
Learn to waste, learn to waste.
…………
A conference room in Tengda.
Everyone here has a strange expression.
"Ahem, I heard that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is already going through the judicial process and is determined to take the production company of "Synthetic Big Pineapple" to court. What do you think?" The person in charge was also very upset.
Before the real Li Gui came online, I met a little Li Gui.
What I didn’t even expect was that,
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is so tough and shows no mercy at all.
I heard that the boss of that company is also the founder of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment?
It's so cruel.
"On our side, should we delay the launch and avoid the limelight first?" someone suggested.
"The postponement will definitely have to be postponed, and the game graphics and the like will also have to be changed."
"If it is delayed any longer, "Big Watermelon" will soon take over the entire market." Some people are also worried.
"Then what can we do? Force it to go online?"
"I think it's okay. If you want to file a lawsuit, just file a lawsuit. There's nothing to be afraid of." Someone suggested being tough.
Does Nanshan Pizza Hut deserve its reputation in vain?
Although it was Tengda who plagiarised, nothing would happen if the lawsuit dragged on for a year or two.
Consuming it also consumes your opponent.
This kind of thing,
It doesn’t take much skill to do Tengda.
"Don't be too impulsive, but you can't postpone it for too long. Let's release it on September 3." The person in charge finally chose a compromise plan.
…………
Amid all the confusion, the time came to August 25th.
12 am,
The million-dollar bounty program for "Synthetic Watermelon" has officially ended. The top ten players will be invited to Pengcheng Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment Company to receive their prizes and sign a game promotion agreement as agreed.
ten players,
Will become the game promoter of "Synthetic Watermelon" and cooperate with the promotion activities of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
Because of the popularity of the game caused by the million-dollar bounty, this night will inevitably usher in the most glorious moment, but after the highlight, it will soon return to dullness.
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment signed ten award-winning players just to continue its popularity.
…………
August,
Except for the plagiarism incident of "Big Pineapple", Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is generally going well.
The cumulative downloads of "Synthetic Watermelon" have exceeded 25 million, which means that one out of every three smartphones in China has downloaded "Synthetic Watermelon".
And this data continues to grow!
In August alone, the recharge amount of "Synthetic Watermelon" exceeded 8 million.
If the number of downloads only proves market share, then the recharge flow represents real profits. Calculated, on average, every three people earn 1 yuan a month.
This data is certainly not brilliant.
Especially compared to the mobile games of later generations that cost hundreds or thousands of krypton dollars at every turn.
But at least it's a good start.
Finance Department Manager Sun Qian reported: "In August, after deducting channel fees and taxes from the recharge flow, the actual revenue was 5.5 million. The special expenditure for the million reward plan was 1 million, wages, benefits, five insurances and one housing fund expenditures were 800,000, rent and
Water and electricity expenses were RMB 150,000, and other expenses were RMB 50,000. After deducting expenses, the actual profit was RMB 3.5 million."
There is actually another operating expense.
However, Zhang Shuo had previously approved 1 million special marketing expenses from his parent company, but they have not been used up yet, so they are not included in this month's expenses.
It will be recalculated next month.
"Keep 1.5 million for the company's daily expenses, and the remaining 2 million in profit will be handed over to the parent company, Sprout Holdings." Zhang Shuo wanted to test how the profit is calculated as experience value.
Sprout Holdings has successively injected funds into Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, with a total of 4 million.
Only this month,
Just recover half of the investment cost.
Sprout Holdings and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment are both companies 100% controlled by Zhang Shuo. The transfer of profits is a matter of his words and does not require the consent of other shareholders.
It does not violate financial accounting regulations per se.
"OK."
The manager of the finance department is usually the boss's confidant, so of course Sun Qian must perform well.
She is still looking forward to it,
In the future, I can go one step further and be promoted to financial director.
