The office building of Donghai News Group, the office area of "Metropolis Evening News".

Ma Xiyuan had just finished a day's work, spread out on the steel tube chair, and drank a few sips of coffee.

A male colleague pushed her shoulder: "Xiao Ma, it's finally the weekend, go out at night to sing K, boys AA girls are free." ”

"Let me walk quietly, I want to see if there is anything serious to do in the evening. ”

Ma Xiyuan knew that the colleague wanted to chase her, but she couldn't look down on her. However, as a journalist, she will not offend people, and she should not be merciful.

Everyone is mixed in the circle, and who doesn't know that a female reporter is willing to eat and sing with you, and whether she is interesting to you or not, are two things that have no relevance at all.

Of course, Ma Xiyuan is also principled, and she will not rub the money of outsiders. Especially those little boys who don't know the world, she directly refuses.

The little boy can't afford to mess with it, in case the other party is too innocent and too strong, and in the end he didn't get any benefits after spending the money, and he feels that he was being played with his feelings and made a big fuss, but it won't end well.

The male colleague saw that she hesitated and refused to give up, and finally persuaded her: "Isn't your home from out of town, what can you do on the weekend? ”

At this moment, Ma Xiyuan's mobile phone on the desk rang. She just found an excuse and hurriedly picked up her phone and walked to the pantry.

As he walked, he looked at the small screen on the flip cover, which showed that it was Gu Wan calling.

Ma Xiyuan was slightly stunned, and then her heart tightened: Why did Xiao Gu call me? Could it be that my sister had an accident at school?

Ma Yiyi hadn't called her for at least a week, which made her a little flustered.

Walking to the secluded place in the pantry, she hurriedly picked it up: "Xiao Gu, what's wrong?

"Yiyi, Sister Ma, I'm ......" Gu Yu was still thinking about how to speak, but he was a little confused by Ma Xiyuan's preemptive rhetorical question, and pondered for three or five seconds before he reacted,

"Oh, you ask Yiyi, oh no, I mean Ma Yiyi, I don't know how she's doing, she should have just finished the midterm exam, she has signed up for a lot of classes this semester. I haven't contacted her in months. What's the matter, is there anything else in trouble with her?"

Gu Play has always been very polite, he has always called Ma Yiyi "Ma Yiyi's classmate", but he was led astray by Ma Xiyuan just now, so he subconsciously shouted "Yiyi" directly.

When he came back to his senses, he felt a little numb.

How can a straight man of steel say such rhetoric.

The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be at home!

The three-body problem has not exploded, how dare you slack off!

"It's fine...... She also hadn't called home for more than a week. Just now, I saw that you suddenly called me with a stuffy gourd, and I thought something had happened to her. Ma Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then naturally became angry,

"You kid really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how can you say that Yiyi and you are also friends. It's a classmate again, it's a friend again, a few dormitories apart, and I haven't been in touch for a month?"

Gu Yu justifiably defended: "Then she didn't contact me either, probably because she didn't run into trouble." It's not that I don't just don't contact her, my sister and I haven't spoken in a month. I'm busy, and every day it's either a class or an exam, or I'm in the lab.

If there's something serious that you need my help with, of course I'll help, and you don't know how righteous I am. ”

Ma Xiyuan was so angry and funny that he couldn't refute it, and after straightening out his emotions, he asked: "Then why did you think of calling my sister again today? ”

Gu Play unceremoniously told the matter straight.

“…… In this matter, is there a way to insinuate and break the news to those shameless shock departments, let others bite me first, and then I will be justified and killed, and brush up on a wave of fame. By the way, you can also promote scientific research projects. ”

Ma Xiyuan thought about it, forcibly pulled his mentality back to business, and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the channel of breaking the news, I have a way to help you operate, first go straight to fish, and then detonate one by one...... But is it really good to let the public know the inside details of this matter? Now there is no need to keep the progress of scientific research secret?"

"The so-called confidentiality of scientific research progress is time-sensitive, we still have two months to put into production. At this time, there is no fear of any leakage, and no one can catch up. On the contrary, we need to publicize this achievement - this is to show muscles, so that potential competitors who are not yet in the pit are aware of the gap and stop losses in time. ”

Ma Xiyuan digested Gu Yu's statement for a while, and felt that it was really reasonable.

As we all know, why do those small Internet creative companies need venture capital and why do they need to run fast? It is because in the laws of various countries, only trademarks, patents, and copyrights, which are clearly defined "intellectual property rights", are protected, and others cannot plagiarize you.

But algorithms, ideas, design ideas, these things are not protected by law.

Therefore, in the atmosphere of "copying for nothing", the only way for the Internet creative circle to survive is to run fast enough, so that even if the enemy can copy you according to the law, it will not be too late to copy.

Gu Wan's idea of "developing cesium atomic clocks to improve GPS positioning accuracy", as well as his ideas of choosing technical routes, are also unprotected.

At this time, a moderate amount of publicity can play a role in showing muscles.

Just like those Internet companies, they don't forget to promote their industry status in a high-profile manner, in fact, it is to tell potential peers who are still hesitant to enter the market:

"Although you can copy me according to the law, I am already the overlord of the industry, and I have finished trapping the customers who are easy to circle, and the moat barrier is still very high, and you are asking for hardship when you come."

So as to avoid more vicious competition in the future.

This is a strategic dissuasion.

In other words, if there is really a research institute of MIT in Oceania today, I will see Gu Play showing his muscles as soon as he starts to do it. Then as long as they can settle accounts and know that they can't make a deal, they will decisively stop and stop the loss.

When the opponent only spent 2 million, it is possible to show muscle intimidation.

If you don't show your muscles in time, when the other party has already spent 10 million, maybe it will be difficult to ride a tiger, and you have to live and die to give up.

People are loath-averse to loss and reluctant to pay sunk.

To scare off the enemy, choose a delicate time point where the enemy has no time to copy and the sunk cost is not big enough for the other party to swear to the death.

In this case, this matter is both public and private, and it should be publicized to both individuals and the country. After Ma Xiyuan thought it out thoroughly, he agreed,

"I'll help you plan for a few days first, it's late November now, and it's not too late to start in early December, right?"

"It's not too late. ”

……

After chatting with Ma Xiyuan, Gu Yu felt a little more relaxed, but he also realized that he seemed to have failed a little recently.

Even my own sister and good friends haven't been in touch for a month, and I really don't care enough about people and don't warm enough.

As if it was to repay Ma Xiyuan for a favor, Gu Yu decided to call Ma Yiyi very utilitarianly, or make an appointment with his sister Li Shuangye to play.

"I have something to do today, so I'll go first, you guys worked hard. Gu Play has a temper of doing what he says, so he immediately asked his partner's colleague for a leave.

His role in the project team was originally only the contact person of the management, and he was considered a supernumerary in scientific research, so no one cared about his early retirement.

"You've been working too hard lately, you should have rested a long time ago. Wang Yifang, who happened to be next to him, casually agreed, and said with a smile that Gu Play would be fun.

At the end of November, Jindu was already a little cool, and when he left the laboratory at night, Gu Yu felt a slight trembling.

When he arrived at a secluded place, he subconsciously wanted to call Ma Yiyi first, but then he thought that he hadn't been in touch for so long, and he didn't know the other party's recent situation, so it would be bad if he said the wrong thing and made people angry.

It's better to call my sister first, and find out the latest news of Ma Yiyi through my sister.

"I'll just say, we still have the potential to be a warm man, how careful! ”

Gu Wan was not ashamed, but proudly muttered to himself, and then dialed Li Shuangye.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" As soon as he connected, he heard Futaba's tone slightly frightened.

"......" Gu Yu was speechless for a while, "It's okay, I'm too good to be better, what's the matter, I can't call you if something doesn't happen!

Li Shuangye: "You're embarrassed to say! For more than a month, the dragon in the house laboratory has not seen the beginning and the end. Is it because you want me to help you so suddenly?"

"......" Gu played: "Am I that bad! I didn't just finish a busy stage, and on the first day, I thought of talking to my good sister, it was really a dog biting Lu Dongbin." ”

"That's it, then forgive you, I said the wrong thing just now, what's the matter~" Li Shuangye quickly became playful, "Where do you want to go on the weekend?" If you don't want to bother with your brains, I'll arrange it for you, and you can pay for it." ”

Gu Play: "No problem, by the way, you know hemp ...... How's Yiyi doing? She's fine, right?"

Li Shuangye: "She just finished the midterm exam yesterday, and she has more classes this semester, more than you." But the weekend must be empty, what, you want to ask her out with you?"

"If you don't mind. Gu Play said in an indifferent tone, "Actually, I just asked Yiyi's sister for some help, and I suddenly felt ...... Didn't take good care of her. ”

Li Shuangye couldn't help but hold his forehead: "I really lost to you...... That's it, don't call suddenly, Sister Yiyi is a multi-hearted person, you suddenly showed favor inexplicably, in the future, she will know the truth, and she won't feel that you are using her.

Or I told her to hang out tomorrow. If you have anything to say, we will meet tomorrow, and then we will say it slowly 'casually'. ”

"Then thank you. Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, Yiyi's midterm exam results are okay? She shouldn't have a boyfriend yet, right? We rashly asked her out to play, it won't embarrass her, right?"

"Of course I passed the exams!
