Chapter 613: This Summer

In the summer of 2003, the domestic Internet industry was a bit noisy, and many significant things happened.

And this summer, many years later, has been repeatedly mentioned, and many people believe that it is in this summer that the pattern of the domestic Internet industry has slowly become clear.

From the stage of barbaric growth, it has changed to the stage of rational development and the formation of giants.

On July 18, Yuwenfei released the article "The Future Has Come", and online payment, star technology, and WeChat began to enter people's sight, causing heated discussions.

On July 25, Internet celebrity benchmark Mei Muzi broke with Facebook, ran away from Sina Blog, and once again caused a sensation on the Internet with her unscrupulous words and photos.

On July 28, Shanda announced the acquisition of the Winger game platform for 35 million yuan, officially launched their "Family Entertainment Center" project, and began to move towards the goal of "China Disney". Facebook Games, QQ Games, Lianzhong, and Winger, the four major game platforms have launched a fierce battle.

On July 29, Tencent announced the launch of the Tencent web portal, and QQ was officially revised, integrating a series of functions such as QQ Game Center, Tencent Portal, and Monternet. Traditional portals such as Sina, NetEase, and Sohu began to get nervous, and another fierce rival appeared!

At this time, many people in the industry thought that it was lively enough, and the Internet industry war was about to start, but they didn't know that this was the beginning, and there were many more heavyweight things to happen this summer!

............

After digging Meimuzi, Sina Blog is like a fish in water, and these days, both the number of new user registrations and user activity have been greatly improved.

The whole company, from the general manager to the ordinary employees, is full of joy.

At the headquarters, Mr. Lin praised it personally, thinking that the management of the blog here is visionary and courageous, and promised to give more resources in the future.

Everything looked so good, and the future was even brighter, until I received an official notice......

"I hereby inform you that the general manager of Sina Blog and the person in charge of content moderation management will attend the meeting at the Capital Internet Information Office on July 31st!"

When he got this notice, the general manager of Sina Blog's hands trembled, and he also understood that there must be no good thing about what this Internet information office does.

But when it comes to the end, he can only bite the bullet, he still has a fluke, Sina Blog is generally good, maybe it is that the recent incident of Mei Muzi has been a little too high-profile. Tomorrow, I will apologize to the leader, and promise that I will strengthen management in the future, and let Mimuzi keep a low profile.

The next day, the general manager of Sina Blog returned to the company with a gloomy face, and the interview turned out to be more ...... than he expected Much harsher!

His mind is still full of the stern reprimand of the leader, "Moral turpitude!" "Leading a bad atmosphere!" "It has had a great bad impact on society!" "It has had a bad impact on the values and outlook on life of young people......

And so on and so forth, without a word of praise, all of criticism.

He actually wants to refute a few words, Sina blog has so many popular science channels, and has also invited a lot of elites from all walks of life to open blogs, and there are a lot of serious literature, why can't you see those good ones, just stare at Mei Muzi.

Besides, Mimuzi seems to be like this when she was on Facebook, why didn't anyone care about it at the time, and now she is being targeted on Sina Blog?

However, he still has the sanity and knows that these things cannot be said!

As a result, Sina Blog was ordered to immediately self-examine and self-correct, and make comprehensive and in-depth rectifications in response to the serious problem that Sina Blog failed to fulfill its review obligations for users to publish illegal and illegal information, and continued to spread illegal and harmful information such as hype and misdirection, vulgar pornography.

Sina Blog issued a site-wide announcement on the same day, announcing that it would suspend updates from 9 a.m. on August 1, clean up illegal content, and carry out in-depth rectification.

As for when the rectification will be, no one knows......

............

As soon as the news of Sina's blog came out, the whole network was shocked, including Yu Wenfei, who did not expect such a severe punishment.

In his memory, the relevant domestic authorities began to be ruthless against the Internet, and it was not until several years later, but now it seems to be different.

Could it be that the sudden rise of Facebook has changed the trajectory of domestic Internet development, causing the country to pay attention to the Internet industry in advance?

It's very possible!

If it weren't for the emergence of Facebook, the domestic Internet industry would have to explore for several years, or even more than ten years before the emergence of real giants, originally in 2003, there was no website like Facebook, with such a large influence and number of users.

As for penguins, although it has a large number of users, it is a one-to-one private social network, which has nothing to do with influence at all.

Yu Wenfei also secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he had prepared in advance for content supervision, although many beauties posted photos on Facebook, but on the whole, they were quite healthy and upward. Including Mikiko on Facebook, it is also very restrained, because there is a content moderation department that reviews all content 24 hours a day.

In addition, Facebook also has an official background and is also considered "its own person", so in the eyes of relevant departments, it should be much more reliable.

Sina is different, it is almost a wholly-owned company of little devils, and its heart must be different if it is not my race!

Who is it if you don't do it?

The Sina blog incident has also awakened many Internet companies, and everyone understands a truth, that is, "the Internet is not a place outside the law"!

In the past, the government didn't care, it was not that it couldn't manage it, but it didn't want to interfere yet, and wanted to let the emerging industry of the Internet develop freely for a period of time, giving the industry the largest and most free space for development.

But if you really go too far, then if you want to cure you, it's still a matter of official paper.

There is no need for fines, no fanfare, and a frivolous removal and rectification is enough to put an Internet giant in the crisis of bankruptcy.

The Internet has a memory, but in the same way, the Internet is also the most forgetful, with various new websites popping up every day, and netizens choosing more and more.

Just like Sina Blog, although it is currently the second largest social platform in China, with 20 to 30 million users, second only to Facebook.

But so what, after you shut down the whole site for a month or two for rectification, how many netizens can still remember your website, even if you don't die, it will be a big injury!

For a while, the whole industry was silent, especially for content websites, in the past, in order to save costs, there was basically no content review and editing.

Facebook's huge editorial team is outrageous in the eyes of other companies!

Many people have laughed at Facebook, spending money to raise so many people in vain, and with that money, wouldn't it be better to use it for event planning or promotion!

But now, no one can laugh, because everyone has found out that Facebook is still forward-looking......

............

"What? What are you talking about? My blog account has been permanently banned! The signing fee has to be recovered? The surname is Hu, are you stepping on a horse to cross the river and tear down the bridge, how did you promise when you poached me to come to Sina Blog? Now that something happens, you will sacrifice me......" Mimuzi was just about to scold, and the phone had already been hung up.

She was just talking to the general manager of Sina Blog on the phone, and the other party had already told her that Sina Blog was interviewed by the Internet Information Office because of her X love diary and photos, and the whole site was closed for rectification!

The personal treatment of Mikiko is to permanently ban the account, terminate the contract, and recover the five million signing fee. As for the three million liquidated damages paid by Sina Blog, Mr. Hu generously said that it would be considered the "breakup fee" of the two parties, and it would be good to break up.

Mikiko held her phone and was stunned.

In any case, she did not expect that such a thing would happen.

Obviously, I didn't go too far, I can do it on Facebook, why can't I do it on Sina Blog?

Moreover, it is the first time that I have made a mistake, so why don't I give a chance to correct it and beat it to death with a stick!

She's not convinced!

But...... There is no way to do it......

The five million signing fee, Mikiko really didn't want to pay it back, she deliberately went to question the lawyer, if she refused to repay, what would be the consequences.

If you go to a lawsuit with Sina Blog because of this matter, what will be the result?

What made her desperate was that after reading the contract she signed with Sina Blog, the lawyer clearly told her that she had to return the money, and there was no hope of winning the lawsuit!

Because it is stipulated in the contract that this is the signing fee for at least five years for Meimuzi to stay at the station, if you leave Sina Blog halfway, or because you can't continue to stay in Sina Blog because of your own factors, but this money has to be returned.

The reason for the accident on Sina Blog this time was because of himself, to be honest, the other party did not chase after him to compensate for the loss of the website, and he had done his best.

Mikiko didn't want to sit still, so she returned to the office and immediately found the contact information of the people in charge of the websites that had contacted her last time.

After thinking about it for a while, I called Tencent first, and now that Tencent's portal has been launched, Mimuzi feels that this company should be more promising, and even hope to surpass Facebook in the future.

"Hey, Manager Wang, I'm Mimuzi. Last time, you said that you wanted to invite me to be the image spokesperson of your portal, and now that I have terminated the contract with Sina, you can ......"

"I'm sorry, we don't need it now. I'm in a meeting and hanging!"

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Mei Mu Zileng was there, she was not stupid, of course she understood that it was not that the other party was busy, but that she really didn't want to see herself.

Gritted his teeth and dialed the phone number on Sohu again.

"Hey, Mr. Li, I'm Mei Muzi......"

"Who? don't know, sell insurance or real estate agent, stop making harassing phone calls, I warn you!"

With a "snap", the phone was hung up again.
