Qin Feng was originally just joking, after all, in broad daylight, everyone is a civilized person, and they will not do anything because of business matters.

But I don't know if Jiang Yong was weak-hearted, or if he really believed in Qin Feng too much, when he went, he really brought a few security guards over.

"What! This guy actually came to see me, the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, uneasy and kind! No!" Wang Zhidong immediately refused to meet Jiang Yong after hearing this.

"Mr. Wang, he said he came on behalf of Winzip!"

"What?" Mr. Wang was stunned, "It doesn't matter what he represents, I don't see it!"

In the lobby, Jiang Yong was also stunned.

I didn't expect this guy to be so horizontal, and he was so mixed, and he didn't even know that WinZip was still using it.

"Then tell you Mr. Wang, I hope he won't regret it. Jiang Yongshi Shi Ran left.

The front desk lady grabbed the phone, thought about it, and finally didn't call Wang Zhidong to talk about it.

"You're back so soon?" Qin Feng was in the courtyard, eating barbecue and drinking beer, with a comfortable face, "Come, I specially left you a big waist to celebrate your success!"

"Congratulations. This guy is too much of a bastard. I don't even know it with our winzip. Jiang Yong pursed his lips and bit off a big waist.

"Uh, you didn't see him?" Qin Feng was surprised.

"Well, this guy is a bastard. Directly let the front desk block me. Jiang Yong rolled his eyes, "I can't take the security guard to break in!"

"Then what are you going to do next?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"He doesn't see me, so I'll let him come to me. I am going to sue him for infringement in the Beijing court. Jiang Yong said, "When the time comes, let him come to me." ”

"It's a trick. Qin Feng grinned, "Okay, come, drink!"

The next day, Jiang Yong entrusted a lawyer to directly file a complaint against Xinlang for infringement and claim 1 billion!

Of course, in reality, it is impossible to have a compensation as high as 1 billion. It's just a gimmick to drive media reporters crazy.

The claim of 1 billion yuan can be said to be the most frightening economic claim since the founding of the country.

Sure enough, after the news spread, it immediately made the front page headlines of major newspapers and magazines.

At the same time, on the Kyushu portal, this news was also published in large characters on the homepage, and as for QQ, a pop-up window was also carried out.

All of a sudden, almost everyone knew that Kyushu Network Centripetal Wave claimed 1 billion yuan for the infringement of its WinZip technology.

Well, it's still dollars.

Yes, not in yuan, but in 1 billion dollars.

The whole people are talking about it, and it can't be boiling.

After all, that's a billion dollars!

"Damn, Kyushu is going to rob the rich and help the poor. Obediently, $1 billion, how to spend it!"

"I want $1 billion, I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing when I dream about it!"

"You say that these 1 billion dollars are put together, how many people are there!"

......

The whole network is boiling.

At this moment, Wang Zhidong frowned.

"Why did he claim compensation from us?" Wang Zhidong snorted.

"Looks like it's because we're using WinZip!" said the technical director.

"WinZip is the compression software we use?" Wang Zhidong asked.

The technical director nodded.

"But isn't this free! What is he claiming for free!" Wang Zhidong snorted, "He is touching porcelain!"

"Mr. Wang, the other party is not touching porcelain!" said the newly hired legal counsel with a frown, "although this software is indeed free." However, according to the software description, it is free for personal use, and as for commercial use, it is not said. ”

"What does this mean?" Wang Zhidong asked.

This means that if it is used commercially, it may or may not infringe. The legal adviser said.

He didn't say that it was not infringing. Wang Zhidong pouted.

"Mr. Wang, from the legal level, he didn't indicate it, so we can indeed use it. However, if the other party changes the way of use, then we may infringe if we use it commercially. Therefore, whether this infringement is infringing or not depends on the definition of the software owner as free. The legal counsel explained.

"So now, are we infringing or not?" Wang Zhidong asked.

"It depends on what the other person says. The legal counsel said, "Look at the attitude of the software owner." ”

"Then go and find out who the developer of this winzip is, and contact him quickly. Wang Zhidong urged.

"Mr. Wang, I just got the news that the developer of WinZip has been authorized to Kyushu Company. In other words, Jiang Yong now has its authorization. So, he said that we can't use it commercially, then I'm afraid it can't be commercialized. Beads of sweat came out of the technical director's forehead.

"What?!He got it!" Wang Zhidong slapped his thigh, "Damn, he should have gotten the copyright a long time ago, when we first used it, he was silent, and when we all used it, he came out to accuse us now." It's so cunning!"

The crowd stared wide-eyed.

It's too late to wake up now.

"Then what should we do now?" Wang Zhidong looked at the legal counsel, "If we fight a lawsuit, how sure are we that we will win?"

"Well, losing is a certainty. The legal counsel said helplessly, "If the other party has authorization, then it can't be commercialized, and it definitely can't be commercialized." Of course, the compensation is definitely not so much, and the other party is a lion's mouth. ”

"Then if we lose, how much will we be compensated?" Wang Zhidong asked.

"It depends on the law's assessment of the value of Winzip software. Also, an assessment of the scope and number of people used on our side. The legal counsel said, "And this software is in a foreign country, so the value of the software is not easy to price, especially this may involve international disputes, once the other party wants to make a big fuss, I am afraid that the court will also choose to settle the matter, will let us compensate more." As for this pricing, there is no precedent in China in this regard. However, according to some international examples I have consulted, this kind of commercial infringement is determined by how many people use it, and then each person charges a fee. ”

When Wang Zhidong heard this, his face turned dark.

According to their data, the exact number of people is difficult to determine, but the number of accounts used (including trumpets) is more than 1.5 million.

"It depends on how much the software costs. "The worst outcome is compensation based on the individual selling price of the software, multiplied by the number of people." So, $1 billion, it's definitely not. ”

"But there's no such software at the moment. The technical director was embarrassed and said, "This is the only compression software on the market." ”

"That's trouble. Then all the prices are completely up to the other party. If the other party sets a price of $100, then $150 million will be compensated. Combined with punitive damages, I'm afraid it's as much as two or three hundred million dollars. The legal counsel whispered.

"It's just blackmail! This is blackmail!" Wang Zhidong took the case.
