Chapter 392: The Way to Collect Wealth
"Manager Shao, we are reporters from Tianyang Metropolis Daily, and we want to interview your company, so please ...... your busy schedule."
Faced with Ma Fei's serious identification of identity, Manager Shao scoffed: "Tianyang Metropolis Daily? Are you kidding me? This is the capital! Not you Tianyang! Besides, don't you see that I'm busy, who has time to accept your interview?"
Before the words fell, the others present also complained.
"yes, we're not done yet, so we'll have to queue up for an interview, right?"
"Is the reporter amazing? Do you understand the rules?"
Manager Shao smiled quite proudly: "Hear me, this is the public opinion! Where to stay cool, I also told you, if you want to interview our company, please make an appointment three days in advance, and you have to report the interview outline, otherwise there is no way for the national media to come! Not to mention your third-rate tabloids?"
"Hehe......" In the face of this unbridled humiliation, Ma Fei laughed and dismissed it, "It turns out that the professional quality of your company's employees is so poor! A big newspaper with one of the largest circulation in China has actually become a third-rate tabloid here in you?"
Manager Shao's expression was a little unnatural, and he said stiffly: "I don't care how much you have to circulate?
Ma Fei raised his voice: "Okay then! Since Manager Shao doesn't accept the interview and respond positively, I have no choice but to record what I see is believing!"
Saying that, he began to cooperate with Cai Zhuoya: "Zoya, you see, these people have been sent a lawyer's letter by the company, and everyone is worried about the compensation, why do you think it is?"
Cai Zhuoya had a question mark in her stomach, and she didn't see any problem at all. However, seeing that Ma Fei kept giving her a look, she had no choice but to respond: "Maybe there's something greasy here?"
Ma Fei laughed: "Yes! According to online reports, some picture copyright companies specialize in this kind of work - first put a large number of pictures on the Internet, pretend to be free pictures, and after someone downloads and uses them, they secretly collect evidence, and after a while, they send a lawyer's letter to claim compensation, threatening to initiate a lawsuit, and forcing the other party to pay for it privately!"
"Hehe, in this way, they have opened up a way to make a fortune, but many websites have been confused, and the so-called compensation seems to be more like a kind of extortion......"
Ma Fei's analysis was like a sharp arrow, which instantly made the originally invincible Manager Shao feel like a petrification, and also made everyone present suddenly realize.
"That's right! That's how our website was tricked! Those pictures were downloaded from search engines, and no one told me that they had copyrights!"
"The spirit of the Internet is sharing, who would have thought that the pictures downloaded from free photo websites are actually high-priced copyright pictures?"
"You're simply cheating people by doing this! Where can our small local forum withstand this kind of tossing? If you don't give money, I will be sued, and I can only shut down the forum, isn't this tantamount to smashing people's jobs?"
"Hehe, brother, you're not right. This is not to smash your job, but to threaten you with a hammer, and if you don't share a bite from him, he will let you never have anything to eat!"
"It's too much!"
For a while, the hall was full of emotion. Manager Shao reacted at this time, turned around and scolded Ma Fei angrily: "Stinky boy, who told you to talk nonsense? Believe it or not, I'll sue you for slander?"
Ma Fei shook his head: "Whether it is slander or not, Manager Shao should know better than anyone else." ”
Of course, he had the confidence to say this. Just now, he used a Canghai Lonely Lantern technique on Manager Shao, and accurately touched the opponent's hole cards.
Manager Shao, who was busy with work, was thinking more about work at this time. Therefore, the three memory fragments that came into Ma Fei's mind happened to completely reveal the mystery of making money from the company.
On the one hand, they wantonly buy the copyright of the pictures at a low price, and in the name of unified development, in fact, they want to hold as many copyrights as possible in their hands, and then spread them on the Internet under various names to attract various websites and enterprises to download and use them.
Through technical means, they can easily catch the "infringement", and after quietly collecting evidence, they will choose the opportunity to send a lawyer's letter, and then use various means to facilitate the other party to settle it privately.
In this way, not only does not have to deal with lengthy and cumbersome lawsuits, but also can take advantage of the other party's mentality of making big things small, the company can easily account for a lump sum of compensation, or reach an agreement with the other party, so that the other party can choose to sign a contract and cooperate, become a customer of the company, and pay to use their copyright maps......
After figuring out this set of operations, Ma Fei looked back at what happened to his newspaper, and he was full of confidence in solving the problem on his trip.
Revealing each other's secrets in public is only the first step in this plan.
While Manager Shao was pretending to be innocent with a tense face, Ma Fei also received an unexpected surprise.
"Received a common wish from many people! All the victims of infringement claims in the hall at this time are exempted from unreasonable compensation and let the company give up the lawsuit! Help them fulfill their wishes and get 1,500 wishing star rewards!"
Ma Fei did not hesitate to take over the task, because he firmly believed that as long as he could help the newspaper to solve the siege, he would be able to solve the problems of these victims by the way.
At this time, Manager Shao muttered in his heart: "This kid seems to be prepared! If you ignore him, let him talk nonsense with these people here, if something happens, the boss will blame him, how can I bear the responsibility?"
With a weak heart, he had no choice but to change his words: "I'll help you contact our company's public relations department about the interview!" Come with me, don't spread rumors here, otherwise be careful to receive a lawyer's letter!"
His mouth was as tough as ever, but Ma Fei could clearly "hear" the apprehension in his heart. Holding back a smile, he followed Manager Shao into the company's office area under the expectant eyes of everyone.
"Manager Shao, let's not look for the public relations department! I see that you are the manager of the marketing department, and it just so happens that our newspaper also has infringement claims, and I want to talk to you. ”
Passing by a corporate culture wall, Ma Fei saw Manager Shao's photo and position, and of course, his full name - Shao Jifu.
Hearing that Ma Fei was also a representative of the infringing enterprise, Shao Jifu felt a little deceived: "So you didn't come for an interview at all, right? Boy, you are not small, dare to arrange me?"
Ma Fei can understand his arrogance, after all, as a marketing manager, as long as he has a thought, he can veto a company's private negotiation request and go directly to the litigation procedure, which is definitely the outcome that most companies are extremely afraid of.
In order to avoid this ending, many people will smile and say good things in front of him, and someone like Ma Fei today is definitely the first one.
In the face of his dissatisfaction and complaints, Ma Fei laughed and said: "Hehe, this trick is still learned from your company! Give some pressure first, and then force the other party to negotiate softly, this routine is really easy to use!"
According to this logic, it is not difficult for Shao Jifu to imagine Ma Fei's strategy - negotiate the claim first, and if it fails, use the identity of the reporter to complete their interview and report, and poke out the company's secrets!
