"Boss, after all, these classes are recorded by chalk instructors. Isn't it an infringement if we do this? The other side will sue us."
Most of the people here understand the law, and Huang Mingyuan was the first to speak out.
Gu Yun nodded, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "Yes, it's an infringement, what next?"
Everyone showed puzzled expressions, and then? Then we are going to lose the lawsuit? It is obvious that we are not justified in this lawsuit.
"You must learn to use the law."
Gu Yun paused for a moment, "Let them sue as they please. Our goal is to retain users, not to win the lawsuit. Can we distinguish the priorities?"
There was silence in the conference room. Everyone was thoughtful and still a little confused.
"They sued, but we delayed with them, unable to go to court for legitimate reasons, objections to jurisdiction, applying for an extension to produce evidence, not receiving a subpoena, submitting new evidence for cross-examination, and initiating mediation..."
Gu Yun casually mentioned six or seven ways to delay the litigation, which made everyone dumbfounded.
"The first trial lasts for six months, and it can be extended under special circumstances. It is very complicated for an Internet company like ours to prove it. If it takes him a year and a half, this round of courses is over. There are no users and no income. What can he do with the chalk?
Are you going to sing opposite me?"
"Moreover, even if we lose the lawsuit, we can still appeal, and then we will follow the same set of procedures, which are reasonable, legal and compliant."
...
Impressed.
Take it heartily.
This is not the boss of an Internet company, he is clearly a legal gangster!
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed a lot. The gangster knows the law, and no one can stop him. Gu Yun's operation like this, although it seems that he has hurt the enemy a thousand and himself eight hundred, he has retained the users of the adult education sector for free.
, but from the perspective of the overall situation, the traps set by competitors step by step are completely useless.
"The user's problem has been solved. Next, we still have to draw inferences from one example and transform. What does it mean for Chalk to separate from us? It means that we do not have a mature teaching and research team. Once the opponent's team withdraws, we will be paralyzed."
Gu Yun added that Xiaole Learning is currently unique in the field of online education. The only shortcoming is that unlike many terrestrial education institutions, it does not have a mature teaching and research team, and most of the teachers are still part-time jobs for outstanding students.
"I agree with Mr. Gu's view. The teaching and research team is not only the transformation of the offline model into the online version, but also from the current revenue perspective, it is also the rapid transformation of Chalk and other leading companies in the industry to promote a consolidated profit model.
.”
Huang Zheng nodded, he also saw this.
"Mingyuan, how is the Xiaoyuan search question you were asked to develop before?"
Gu Yun's eyes turned to technical director Huang Mingyuan.
"The development is almost complete. The function of taking photos to search for questions and answering questions in the background has been basically completed. The reason why it is not online yet is that the backend lecturer team has not been established."
When it came to the technical fields he was familiar with, Huang Mingyuan was very confident and answered immediately.
"We have to make up for the lack of cash flow in the adult education business from other directions. Next, we will tilt towards the K12 business. There is a large population of primary, middle and high school students, and the market possibilities are also higher."
With a stroke of his pen, Gu Yun directly set the tone for the next development direction.
"Starting from today, the lawsuit gives us a chance to breathe. Chalk has not succeeded in taking away our users. We must build a technical moat during this period, an education and training business for adults, and a K12-oriented primary school and high school
The business team has been divided into two groups, and a teaching and research team has been formally established to let Xiao Yuan search for questions and study with Xiao Le, making it unrivaled in the K12 field."
The boss's words rekindled the fighting spirit of the veterans present. Originally faced with the triple blow of betrayal by partners, poaching of employees, and loss of users, Xiaole, standing on the edge of the cliff, learned to rely on the tricks of legal gangsters, and instead took the opportunity to ruthlessly use human resources.
We shuffled the cards hard, eliminated the most important cooperation business, and re-entered the game to find an opportunity for breakthrough.
In order to open up online revenue in the K12 field, Gu Yun came up with the killer weapon Xiaoyuan Search Question in advance, which is definitely an epoch-making two-way foil weapon today.
How long ago did smartphones come out? You can take pictures, search for questions and complete backend answers. You can imagine the installation rate of such a convenient learning tool.
It can only be said that the innovative track of online education is still in its early stages. There is still a lot of room for exploration in various product forms and monetization methods. Therefore, Chalk Education’s hasty move to start a war against Gu Yun, a reborn person, is still immature.
Rather than targeting external competition that has not yet revealed its crisis, it is better to invest in user needs.
If he hadn't encountered a gangster like Gu Yun who frequently resorted to unprincipled tactics, Qin Haosen might have defeated Xiaole Xuexue in one fell swoop.
After taking out the whiteboard and proposing the next development direction in a targeted manner, and each department assigning tasks for the next stage, Paradise Technology's first phased meeting officially ended.
...
Chalk Education Headquarters.
The newly hired Zhou Duo looked high-spirited. His original salary from Paradise Technology was already among the best in the industry. Now that he had doubled his salary, he was already earning top-notch income in Jiangcheng. He could stand tall even when going on a blind date.
He sat in front of the new office desk and chair. The brewed coffee was steaming. He leaned over and took a deep breath.
High salary, dignity, elegance, this is life.
"Hey, Sister Ning, have you heard? It seems that the chalk courses we recorded before on Xiaole Learning have not been discontinued yet, and they are all free!"
A colleague was scrolling through Weibo and started gossiping with Ning Yihan who was sitting next to him.
"Ah? Real or fake?"
Ning Yihan opened Xiaole Study. Although the two sides had officially started a war, the app in her hand had not been deleted.
She is a nostalgic person.
Turning directly to the course page, Ning Yihan was shocked.
"Holy shit, what do they think? It's really free?"
Ning Yihan, who had never spoken foul language, couldn't control himself. Gu Yun was obviously in a hurry. How could he pull out such a stupid move?
Even an 80-year-old man knows that such an obvious infringement is wrong. Legal ignorance is terrible.
Colleagues quickly reported to the president's office, Qin Haosen.
"What happened? He unlocked all our courses and changed them to free?"
Qin Haosen predicted many countermeasures, but he never expected that Gu Yun would make such a move.
"Call Xiao Pang, our company's legal affairs officer, over here."
Qin Haosen knew it was infringement, but he didn't dare to confirm it. Would the other party be so stupid?
You also need to ask a professional.
"Mr. Qin, we will definitely win this lawsuit. The other party's infringement is confirmed."
Xiao Pang logged into the account of a registered student, opened the software and looked at it carefully.
"Then hurry up and sue. What kind of player is this? How long will it take for us to win?"
Qin Haosen smiled. Young people are still not good at it. They start to violate the law when they encounter a little pressure. In terms of business, they still need to learn more from Brother Qin.
"Mr. Qin, if nothing happens, the court will rule against the other party within six months."
"Well, go ahead."
"Wait, what? Six months?"
Qin Haosen suddenly felt something was wrong and reacted.
It takes six months for the results to be available. Doesn’t that mean that after students have finished the free courses, who will pay real money to sign up for the course?
The clown turns out to be ourselves, using legal weapons to act like a hooligan, right?
