They were all the management and key personnel of the Community Department, but when everyone arrived, they unexpectedly found a few strangers sitting in the room.
"Brother Jun, who are those people?" someone asked quietly.
Wu Jun identified it and said uncertainly: "It seems to be from the Ministry of Justice, right?"
"What is the Legal Department doing?"
"What do you think we can do!"
oh!
The people who asked the questions understood, and they passed it on one by one, and they all knew that those people were from the legal department. Of course the company has a legal department, and it is usually not obvious, so everyone is quite novel.
After a while, Yao Yuan strode in, sat down, said nothing, and turned on the big screen, which was QQ Zone!
"This is a product that QQ just launched. To put it simply, they want to make a community. Let's take a look at this thing first, log in with QQ, click on it, and this will appear..."
Yao Yuan operated the computer, and a familiar yet unfamiliar page was displayed on the big screen.
It is familiar because it is very similar to the personal space of Maiwo Community; it is unfamiliar because it has made some slight innovations, such as a different page design and more functions.
Including more than 10 functions such as skin change, log, photo album, message board, music box, interaction, personal files, etc.
There are three or four more than Maiwo, and it’s incredibly complete!
This is not the end yet, Yao Yuan continues to operate, even making some detailed settings, such as "visible/public to friends only", "friend updates, likes" and other functions, and also made micro-innovations.
"How shameless!"
"If you change the skin, you'll treat it as yours?"
"Creativity doesn't cost money, it's disgusting! It's so disgusting!"
This was unbearable. For a while, people started to curse. Yao Yuan knocked on the table to stop the noise and said: "As long as you are not blind, you can see it, but can it be deemed plagiarism? Could you please give me an answer from the Legal Department?"
"Ahem!"
The person from the legal department coughed twice and said: "It is difficult to certify plagiarism for Internet products. Generally speaking, ideological things, such as creativity, gameplay, and rules, will not be considered plagiarism.
Relatively substantial things, such as page design, content layout, virtual props, product appearance, etc., can be considered plagiarism.
This QQ space obviously sought guidance from knowledgeable people and jumped on the verge of plagiarism. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is our stuff, but they still have so-called innovation..."
Some people were impatient and said, "It's all about whether you can win or not!"
"Well, it's more difficult."
Gan!
Then tell me something!
Everyone is getting more and more agitated. QQ has a reputation for plagiarism. "QQ Hall" attracted a wave of criticism when it was launched. But when it was my turn, I found that I was so aggrieved that the other party was stepping on the rules to do the dirty work.
Wu Jun asked: "Commander Yao, what should we do?"
"Of course I'm suing!"
"The chances of winning are not very high..."
"Why don't you sue if you have little chance of winning?"
Yao Yuan smiled and said: "We not only want to sue, but we also want to sue openly and vigorously. It is best to let all netizens and all the media know about it, so that everyone can despise it!
At the same time, we will speed up the optimization and update of Maimai space. We will update it every few months. Once QQ plagiarizes it, we will sue once. Don’t underestimate public opinion. When public opinion gets bigger, it can affect policies. At the very least, we must firmly nail QQ as a shame.
On the pillar!”
"But how do you know QQ will follow our lead?"
"ha!"
Yao Yuan re-operated the QQ space and said: "The biggest way to play in the space is the photo album. After the photo album is played, it is called social. I plan to optimize the space version with the public beta of Audition to let them see what social is."
Furthermore, our ultimate goal is to make profits. When we add decorative functions, they will definitely follow, and when we start charging, they will definitely follow."
"What if QQ's user base grows faster than ours? Can they charge first?"
"Look at this thing, it is a multi-functional personal homepage. To achieve so many functions, Maiwo Space has spent two years optimizing the platform and improving the technology.
They now have more functions than us. No matter how awesome they are, can they still take off immediately? They must gradually optimize it. The initial experience may not be very good. This is a great opportunity for us to overtake."
Yao Yuan finally concluded, saying: "Fighting QQ is a long-term war. Please be prepared for a fierce battle. Let's adjourn the meeting!"
The meeting is not really over.
After this group of people left, another group of people came in. It was the local promotion team that had been formed over the past few months, and Cheng Wei was among them.
"Sit down, sit down!"
Yao Yuan also spoke concisely and to the point, saying: "Audition has been in internal testing and is expected to be officially launched in May. This game is closely related to Mai Mai's fate, and this fate is in your hands!"
While you are promoting "Audition", you should also promote Maimai to attack QQ's market share at the terminal. Terminal promotion is the most cost-effective way. A mouse pad and a bottle of mineral water can achieve unexpected results.
You were personally selected by me to shoulder the important responsibilities of the company, don’t let me down!"
Good guy!
For a moment, Cheng Wei had the feeling, "please rest assured, my Majesty, Wei will do his best and die"!
Yao Yuan also stood up and saw him off personally: "Go!"
…………
Since the birth of the Internet, you copy me, I copy you, this is the global default.
We all know that it is difficult to win a lawsuit, and it is generally easy to avoid bringing it to court. "QQ Hall" plagiarized it in 2004, and "Pao Pao Hall" and Shanda did not sue until 2006, because the other party developed too fast and threatened itself.
To a certain extent, this represents everyone's mentality: unless it threatens oneself, there is no point in filing a lawsuit.
But Yao Yuan is different. He knows how powerful online violence and stigmatization are. Let alone prosecution, he started making a fuss in the media before submitting the complaint.
Are 800,000 navy soldiers joking?!
Shenzhen, Penguin Headquarters.
The momentum at the beginning of this year was not good. Affected by China Mobile's suppression of wireless value-added services, Tencent's stock price has been hovering at a low level, and investors have lost confidence.
You know, wireless value-added accounts for 60% of Tencent’s total revenue!
The board of directors has decided that, in order to express confidence, it is prepared to repurchase 10% of the issued shares, which would cost approximately HK$974 million based on the current stock price.
As a result, the development of profitable projects that are decoupled from mobile has become increasingly important, including QQ Space.
The person in charge, Xu Liang, has been anxious recently and is paying attention to the user growth every day. Fortunately, the base is huge, and it is expected that the space will attract traffic.
"Not bad, not bad, there are hundreds of thousands of users within a week of going online. This is the benefit of mastering the masses."
"The activity is also very high, with tens of thousands of people online at the same time."
"Set a small goal first. It's March now, and we need to develop at least 6 million users by the second quarter."
Xu Liang was temporarily relieved. Thinking about it, he was too worried. With Tencent's 300 million traffic on his back, what couldn't he do? At this moment, an employee suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Mr. Xu, look at this!"
"What's wrong?"
Xu Liang came over and looked at the three web pages, which were the front-page news of the three major portals: "Tencent plagiarized shamelessly, Maiwo sued to defend its rights!"
(Starting from October, I will adjust my status and concentrate on typing, and there will be more at night...
