Cai Congxin was a little puzzled, "Yahoo and Google are both search engine websites, and they do have advertising business, but they all need to be paid, and the price is expensive. As for the effect, I don't think it's as good as working with Facebook Games.

As for Microsoft, is there any good cooperation model with them?"

Cai Congxin did not understand that Yahoo and Google were okay to say, because these two companies have huge Internet traffic and can provide new users for Facebook.

But what is there to work with Microsoft?

It's a company that makes computer systems and office software, and there's no room for collaboration.

Of course, if you only look at the size and market value of the company, Microsoft and Amazon are indeed very large, and they are considered the top technology companies in the world.

Of course, Yu Wenfei knows what Cai Congxin said, but he has his own ideas.

He waved his hand and said: "Now what we want is to open the market as soon as possible and increase the number of users as soon as possible. Perhaps, there are some small websites similar to Facebook now, but they have not yet emerged.

We have gone public and have strong financial support, and at this time, it is time to use money to smash the market.

As for Microsoft, they also make social software, and MSN is one of the top three instant messaging software in Europe and the United States. Of course, it can't be compared with ICQ. However, it is precisely because of this that Microsoft also needs allies in the Internet industry to fight against leaders like ICQ.

Our Facebook network is a great partner. ”

What Yu Wenfei said was actually only a superficial reason, and as for the deeper reason, he didn't tell Cai Congxin now.

Because it is still necessary to observe the development of the situation, and the time is not yet right.

But in any case, whether it's spending money or cooperating, a few more partners is always a good thing for Facebook.

Cai Congxin also understands this, so for Yu Wenfei's suggestion, he said that he would discuss it with Lu Qi and let Lu Qi talk to these companies.

After chatting about Facebook, Cai Congxin asked curiously: "Mr. Fei, why have Facebook and Facebook Games gone out of the mainland and started to expand the international market?" But why didn't WeChat think about going out at all, in fact, WeChat can be promoted together with Facebook. The two software are complementary to each other, and it may be better to promote them together. ”

Indeed, Facebook is a weak social platform, while WeChat is a strong social communication software.

Together, the two can meet all the social needs of the Internet.

But Yu Wenfei has never mentioned letting WeChat go out, and he has said several times about Facebook games and Facebook to let them go to the world as soon as possible.

Cai Congxin didn't understand this point, so he took the opportunity to ask for advice today.

Regarding this issue, of course, Yu Wenfei has his own considerations, and it is not a secret matter, and the specific reason can be briefly talked to Cai Congxin.

After a little contemplation, he asked Cai Congxin: "Do you know the difference between WeChat and Facebook?"

"Ah, Mr. Fei, haven't you said many times that one of the two is a weak social platform with a media nature, and the other is a strong social communication software. Cai Congxin said blankly.

"If you analyze it a little deeper, websites like Facebook are public social platforms, although they also involve personal privacy, but since everyone knows that this is public, then they will not put too private things on it.

But WeChat is different, it is very private, and users have no scruples after using it, that is, there will really be a lot of things about personal privacy.

Eastern and Western cultures are different, national conditions and laws are also different, and European and American countries are more concerned about the security of personal privacy.

We are a foreign company, and we are from the so-called socialist country, so Europe and the United States will not open up to us in such a sensitive area as communications.

Besides, there are now ICQ and WeChat abroad, and they are relatively mature, and users are basically wiped out by them.

Our WeChat is only going out now, and it's too late. Faced with the dual pressure of the market and the national level, it is difficult to grow.

It's not something we can do as a business with hard work.

In that case, let's not waste our efforts. ”

Yu Wenfei explained with a smile.

He knows very well that Internet communication also belongs to the communications industry, and how can European and American countries allow companies from China to intervene in such an industry.

Even the so-called commercial freedom now, when you first started, the scale was small, the users were few, and the influence was small, and they didn't care about you.

But when you get bigger, or even reach the scale of a monopoly, you can see if they can do it.

And with software like WeChat, it's too simple for others to mess with you, and you can't avoid it.

Facebook will be a little better in comparison, but what will happen in the future, Yu Wenfei is not too optimistic, so when Facebook first entered North America, he was ready to deal with the crisis in the future!

Cai Congxin was a little dazed, he didn't know much about ideology.

Born on Treasure Island and studying in the United States, he understands these things.

However, since Yu Wenfei put it forward so solemnly, Cai Congxin understands that it must be reasonable, and when it comes to the development of the company, of course Mr. Fei will not talk nonsense.

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

Time into April, Yuwenfei's various companies are also getting busier.

Facebook Entertainment formed the China Online Video Anti-Piracy Alliance and sued Baidu, and also held its first trial.

The legal department led by Fang Zhiyan has already done a lot of evidence collection work in the early stage.

Just the printed photocopies of the suspected pirated and infringing pages of Baidu's website can fill a room!

This is also one of the reasons why Internet infringement lawsuits are difficult to fight, and it is too difficult to provide evidence......

However, as long as you are willing to spend money, none of this is a problem.

It just so happens that the most important thing for Facebook Entertainment is money!

Facebook stands behind it, and it just got back $6 billion from the U.S. stock market!

So in the courtroom, in the face of the lawyer team led by Fang Zhiyan, even the judge felt sweating on his head, because there was too much and too detailed.

This evidence doesn't mean that you hire a bunch of temporary workers to print it out and you're done.

Rather, it must be printed page by page by a professional lawyer under the supervision of a notary office, so that it can have legal effect.

The cost of hiring a lawyer and a notary public is not small, so the reason why infringement lawsuits in the Internet industry are difficult to fight is this.

You may spend millions of dollars, and only after winning the lawsuit can you get tens of thousands of dollars in compensation, and the gains outweigh the losses......

But the purpose of Facebook Entertainment's lawsuit is not compensation, this is to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and warn all infringing and pirate websites not to hit the idea of Facebook Entertainment.

Otherwise, no matter how much energy, manpower, and financial resources are spent, you must be!

Baidu is the "chicken" that was killed......

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

The lawsuit went well, and Baidu realized Facebook's determination and preparation.

Anyway, even if it's an infringement, it's nothing more than compensation and an apology.

And the amount of compensation will not be too high, because Baidu has not received direct economic benefits from these infringement and piracy.

The invisible benefits are not clear.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the compensation will be 1.8 million, which is already a very high amount of compensation in similar lawsuits.

If the lawsuit drags on any longer, the lawyer's fees alone will be enough for Baidu's flesh.

Facebook Entertainment has a lot of money, so it naturally doesn't care about lawyer fees, but Baidu cares......

At the end of the lawsuit, Baidu recognized its management negligence and lack of respect for copyright awareness.

He sincerely apologized, and said that he would remove all copyrighted audio and video links from Facebook on the website, and promised not to crosslink through search software such as crawlers in the future.

As for the economic compensation, it is indeed not high, only 1.6 million.

But Facebook Entertainment has achieved its goal, deterring all pirate sites by suing Baidu.

Even Baidu has been planted, and what piracy website dares to hit the idea of Facebook Entertainment.

Everyone quickly checked their own websites to see if there was anything related to Facebook Entertainment's copyright, and if there were, then remove it immediately.

In the past, everyone had no scruples about infringing and piracy, and that was because no company was serious with them, not because they were not afraid.

Now that there are more real companies appearing, and they are rich and powerful, who is not afraid of such a company.
