Chapter 528: Lawsuits Are Just Means

Facing Facebook, it is a completely different feeling from when facing Ogilvy.

Although the court has not yet been held, the wingers are already in chaos.

First of all, the overwhelming advantage in public opinion, Facebook Games acquired Ogilvy & Mather, got the game agency, and Yu Wenfei personally wrote an article to "bombard" the shameless piracy and infringement of the winger. The follow-up criticism of many legal professionals and public figures has made the whole society have a very bad impression of the winger.

In the past few days, in the winger game's own forum, the page has long been inundated with various posts denouncing the infringement of winger games.

It can be said that the popularity and daily volume of the winger game forum these days far exceed that of the winger game platform, you must know that in the past, almost no one spoke on this forum.

Obviously, most of these people who came to post were fans of Yu Wenfei......

If it's just the spontaneous denunciation of netizens, that's okay, the winger's people can pretend not to see it, and this won't cost him anything.

According to people familiar with the matter, some leaders in Hangcheng are very dissatisfied with the winger game company and the local court that won the game case last time, thinking that it is they who have done something that has made the people of the whole country have a bad impression of the city of Hangzhou!

Because of such a small lawsuit, the people of the whole country believe that Hangzhou's local protectionism is serious, and this can easily affect the excellent situation of Hangzhou's investment promotion.

At a certain meeting, the big leader deliberately cited the example of the winger's victory, which was used as a negative teaching material......

Although the judicial field is vertically managed, and local leaders cannot influence the affairs of the judicial field, they understand the national situation.

It is conceivable that there is no need to fight the next lawsuit, and in order to eliminate the adverse effects, it is indispensable to use the winger.

This is the reason why Yuwenfei took the lead in the public opinion offensive before the lawsuit started, because in this kind of field where the legal boundaries are blurred, whoever occupies public opinion will win!

There is a hugely influential figure on the Facebook game side, and it is indeed the injured party.

And on the wingers' side, who will stand for them......

Not to mention the platform, in fact, someone has already greeted me and said that the winger's people should solve this matter as soon as possible!

And it's better to settle it before the trial, otherwise it will put the court in a dilemma. The first verdict was a winger's victory, and the second verdict was a Facebook victory, isn't it a self-defeating one. But if the winger is awarded the second time, it is absolutely impossible, and in the current situation, no one dares to commit a crime against the wind.

So the best solution is to settle the matter privately, the two sides reach a settlement, Facebook withdraws the lawsuit, and the winger compensates, so that everyone is happy.

In the past few days, the wingers have been so worried that their hair has fallen out a lot.

"No, we can't go to court, and if we lose the case, everything will be irretrievable. In this way, I will go to the magic capital and talk to the person in charge of Facebook Games, if we can reach a settlement, as long as the other party's request is within the range of what we can bear, we will agree!" Mr. Tao gritted his teeth and said.

Across from him sat the three founders of the company, who were also full of sadness.

"Well, Brother Tao is right. If you can reconcile, you can reconcile, I think we can't keep this battle zone, as long as you don't let you lose money or accompany a little less, that's acceptable. Mr. Wang said.

"I'm afraid that Facebook Games will be wiped out! What if they are unwilling to reconcile and insist that the court sentence us offline for two or three months......

Cancel the battle function and lose some money, these are acceptable, and it's a big deal to go back to the way before.

The people on the winger's side are most afraid that the platform will be ordered off the line for rectification for a period of time, not to mention long, they can't stand it for a month or two.

How can Internet users be so loyal and will wait for you for so long, if you are taken offline for rectification, then the user will pat his ass and go to the Facebook game platform to play. After a month or two, you will find that there are still so many registered users, but the number of daily active users is ...... Pretty much nothing!

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

It's not just the people on the winger game side who are scared before they fight, but those chain Internet cafes who are also accused are more panicked than the wingers.

Because the chain Internet cafes sued this time are all from several big cities, they all do the same business, and everyone basically knows each other.

After the list of defendants was announced, the owners of these chain Internet cafes got together for a meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

"This Facebook game is a bit outrageous, our Internet cafes are all pirated games, and we haven't seen anyone sue us before, so why did they sue us!" said one of the bosses indignantly.

"People are sueing, what can we do. Okay, don't say these useless words, let's hurry up and think of a way, if you really want to go to court, I guess everyone will be uncomfortable. Another boss said with a wry smile.

"Let them sue, I won't believe it, even if we lose the lawsuit, how much money can we lose!"

"Don't mind, losing money is a trivial matter, and it really can't be much. But have you ever thought that during the lawsuit, they may apply for an injunction to close our Internet café? "Finally, there are people who understand and point out the key to the problem.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say cruel words, because this is everyone's death hole.

"What then?"

"Well, let's send a representative to get in touch with the Facebook Games people and find out what they have to say. If I still don't believe me, they're going to wipe out our Internet cafes, so let's ask them what they're going to do. A local Internet café owner in the magic capital said.

This suggestion was good, and everyone unanimously recommended that he go to find out the situation first.

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

Mr. Tao of the winger game made an appointment in advance, and to his surprise, Mr. Ai of Facebook planned to meet and chat with him.

It's a good sign to be able to meet!

He immediately drove by himself, rushed from Hangzhou to the magic capital, and came to the long-famous Xinzhuang Science and Technology Park.

This science and technology park is the base camp of the Facebook company, and with the development and growth of Facebook, this park is also widely known in the circle.

Standing at the gate, looking at the more than a dozen office buildings in the park, and the employees coming and going, Mr. Tao sighed in his heart, look at the scale of others!

In contrast, the office area of your own company headquarters is not as good as the one-story building of others, how can this be compared?

In the Science and Technology Park, on the roof of the No. 7 office building, a big sign was newly erected, with four big characters on it, "Facebook Game"!

Obviously, this building is the headquarters of Facebook Games.

explained the intention at the front desk, and soon a female employee, who was Effie's assistant, took Mr. Tao directly to Effie's office.

This is the first time Mr. Tao has met Effie, and he has long heard that the president of Facebook Games is a very young girl, only in her twenties.

But when they really met, Mr. Tao was amazed, such a young girl should have studied in college, but now she is in charge of such a big platform as Facebook Games, in comparison, the so-called four wingers on her side are really ashamed.

"Hello Mr. Tao, welcome to Facebook Games. Effie stood up and greeted with a smile.

Mr. Tao stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "This is Mr. Ai, I have admired the name for a long time, and I have been saying that I will come to visit, and I finally got my wish today." Haha......"

Although they are about to go to court to fight to the death, the two CEOs are full of spring breeze when they meet, and no one shows a displeased expression.

After the two came to the sofa and sat down, Mr. Tao said with sincerity: "This time, I came to apologize to Mr. Ai." In any case, the battle function of the winger line does infringe on your company's copyright, which we didn't realize before, and the lack of copyright awareness is our fault. ”

Since he came to seek peace, of course, he had to show an attitude, so as soon as Mr. Tao came up, he first put himself in the position of the "weak", what is the apology, if Facebook promised not to pursue it, he can do it no matter how sincere he apologizes.

Effie smiled and continued to listen to him.

"The second point is that the domestic Internet circle says that it is not big or small, everyone is in the same industry, and it should be to help each other make progress together, there is no need to fight to the death. The market for board games is big enough that it is impossible for one family to eat them all, so I think we should reconcile and not be distracted by these miscellaneous things. Mr. Ai should have heard that the Tencent game platform is about to be launched, and this is our biggest opponent. What do you say?" said Mr. Tao as he observed Effie's expression.

If Winger Games is willing to give in and not compete for the field of online battles, and concentrate on the local chess and card games that it is good at, then Effie will not be able to tolerate it.

Indeed, as Mr. Tao said, no matter how powerful the chess and card game platform is, it is impossible to occupy all the market, after all, there are so many players who like to play on some small platforms, and there are fixed players with fixed gameplay. Therefore, in the future, the Facebook game platform may occupy 70% or even more of the market share, but it is unlikely to account for 100%. In the end, there are still one or two competitors, it may be that the winger may be Lianzhong, or it may be the Tencent game platform.

"Then Mr. Tao came this time, do you have any constructive suggestions?" Effie finally spoke, and she looked at Mr. Tao with a smile.

According to Yu Wenfei's instructions, the Facebook game side has long been prepared for two hands, if the opponent (including the wingers and the Internet café owners) fights, then fight to the end, and the means will be very tough!

If the opponent admits defeat and takes the initiative to seek peace, then the Facebook game will not deceive people too much, as long as they can achieve their "strategic goals", out-of-court reconciliation is also possible.

In short, a lawsuit is a means, not an end!
