Chapter 193: Trouble
Wang Sifeng once questioned Chen Qiaoshan, isn't he afraid of being sued by a large company?
To tell the truth, after more than half a year of trying, Chen Qiaoshan saw very clearly that if you want to rise quickly, you must either have a reputation or capital, no matter which one, you must always occupy one, otherwise you can only start from scratch honestly.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't have anything, and he didn't have much time to waste, so he could only find another way and think of other ways.
He originally wanted to be a low-key person, but after a period of observation, Chen Qiaoshan found that none of the bigwigs in emerging fields have been low-key since the beginning of their business, especially those engaged in IT.
Today's Internet people, there are no old cadres, all of them are young, and Ma Taobao is relatively old, only less than forty.
In Chen Qiaoshan's view, today's Mr. Zhang is a complete prodigal, jumping around all day long, and half of the idol stars in the Internet industry.
Although the boss is so out of tune, the effect is surprisingly good.
In just a few years, Sohu has become one of the most well-known portals in China, and has also cultivated a large number of reserve talents for the rise of the domestic Internet, becoming the largest Internet talent base in China after Microsoft and IBM Research Institute.
Speaking of portals, in recent years, domestic portal sites have emerged in an endless stream, but there are only a few that can stick to the present, and there are many that have fallen halfway, including FM365, which Lenovo has spent a lot of money to build.
Not long ago, FM365's domain name expired, according to the general regulations, Lenovo has a 40-day priority to renew, I don't know if I forgot or some other reason, Lenovo did not have any follow-up actions, which gave Chen Qiaoshan the opportunity, he took the lead in preemptively registering successfully.
In the original trajectory, according to the popular saying in the market, FM365 was preemptively registered by the Americans, and then it was bought by Cai Wensheng for $100,000, and Cai is the investor of the Meitu App and 4399, and he is also the first person to invest in domain names in China.
Of course, Cai Wensheng spent money to buy a domain name, Chen Qiaoshan didn't believe it at all.
It's too coincidental, in just a few days, the whole process from registration to transaction was completed, and it was a cross-border transaction, which was too efficient.
In Chen Qiaoshan's view, this should be to avoid follow-up risks.
After all, Cai Wensheng has also suffered a big loss.
Just last year, Mr. Cai squatted the domain name of a French company in the same way.
After the French found out, they wanted to find it back, and Cai offered $3,000, who knew that the French would rather go to Switzerland to fight a lawsuit than take the money.
As a result, the matter went directly to the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, which finally ruled that Mr. Cai had unjustly enriched, and the cybersquatting was invalid.
For $3,000, there was an international business dispute, and Cai Wensheng is not rich now, and the so-called $100,000 to buy a domain name may be a gimmick, so that Boss Cai can turn around and want a good price.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that the root of Boss Cai's career was on the domain name FM365, and the first time he got this domain name, he directly jumped the domain name resolution to this website.
With the help of FM365, in just half a month, 265, a little-known website navigation website, directly entered the top 100 of Alexa's global rankings, attracting IDG and Google to invest in shares.
In the end, in 07, Google spent tens of millions of dollars to pocket 265, and Cai Wensheng also successfully completed capital accumulation.
Although Chen Qiaoshan got FM365 first, he is not ready to copy Cai Wensheng's old path and make a website navigation website.
One is that this kind of website has no core competitiveness, no good platform to rely on, and is destined to have no future, so it can only hope to be acquired by large companies, hao123 is a lesson from the past, and it is not interesting to do it at all.
Second, he is completely a newcomer to the Internet, once he gets in, it will involve all his energy, and his interest is not in this, he will not rush into the Internet field until he finds a suitable collaborator.
Of course, Chen Qiaoshan will not let go of this opportunity, FM365 is a huge network traffic port, and he will not let go easily.
Cai Wensheng only held FM365 for five months, and then sold the domain name back to Lenovo at an unknown price, Chen Qiaoshan will not easily give up this domain name for money, relative to capital, users are the most important component of the Internet.
……
Chen Qiaoshan didn't expect that the matter of FM365 would be exposed by the media so early.
Originally, at the end of 03, Cai Wensheng directed FM365 to 265, and things became troublesome, which attracted the attention of the media.
After Chen Qiaoshan registered, he did not resolve the domain name, nor did he make a directional jump, and the domain name is still in an unenabled state.
He knew that this matter would not end easily.
For Internet companies, users are the greatest value, and FM365 is associated with nearly 400,000 Internet access.
At the end of '99, Lenovo launched the Internet computer, which was an unprecedented success.
According to the data released to the public, the Internet computer has created 4 billion revenue for Lenovo in a year, even if it is calculated according to 10,000 units, Lenovo sold at least 400,000 units in 01 years, and the next two years have not been counted.
The most important thing is that these computer keyboards are specially customized by Lenovo, and they can all log in to FM365 with one click.
Chen Qiaoshan knows in his heart that now that things are getting bigger, Lenovo may not sit idly by.
He also has a bit of a headache, now that he is staying at home, it is too inconvenient to get information, Sun Guangming didn't make it clear on the phone, he didn't know what the situation was on the Internet, and he couldn't respond to it as soon as possible.
But it's useless to be anxious, there will be no end to this matter in a short time, and now I can only think of other ways to deal with it.
The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is an unusual day for the Chen family, the Chen family got up early and prepared to send the Chen family father and son into the city to pick up the car.
Chen Qiaoshan had a lot of things, and he didn't want to go, but at the request of Chen's mother, he had to follow honestly, after all, the Chen family was just two men.
As soon as breakfast was over, an uninvited guest came to the Chen family, and a Santana 2000 parked directly outside the Chen family's courtyard.
Chen Qiaoshan heard movement outside, ran out to take a look, and found that Sun Guangming had come out of Santana.
He was very puzzled in his heart and asked, "Fatty, what are you doing here this early morning?"
Sun Fatzi shouted: "Come and see if you can't make it." ”
After a pause, he said in surprise again: "Dashan, this time the matter is really big, and all your personal information has been picked up on the Internet." ”
Chen Qiaoshan was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
I can't help Chen Qiaoshan to be anxious, although on the Internet, Peking University Qiaoshan's reputation is very loud, but except for some people in Guanghua, not many people know his true identity, at best, they know that this person is from Peking University.
"It's not because of the website, the screenshot of FM365's domain name query was posted on the Internet, and your name and address at Peking University are written on it. ”
Chen Qiaoshan was speechless, these reporters are really pervasive, and they don't let go of such small details, and they will have trouble in the future.
But that's all it takes, and that's the way it goes.
He was thinking about thinking of a countermeasure, but Sun Fatzi came over and whispered: "Dashan, this time we are in a lot of trouble, Lenovo posted a statement on the Internet this morning, saying that it had consulted a lawyer, and Lenovo still has the ownership of the FM365 domain name." ”
Chen Qiaoshan didn't care, these were all in his expectation.
Sun Fatzi saw that he was indifferent, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "I said Dashan, it can be said on the Internet, you are legally registered, if Lenovo wants to get back the ownership of the domain name, it will either ask you to buy it, but the biggest possibility is to fight a lawsuit with you." ”
Chen Qiaoshan sneered in his heart, how can there be such a simple thing in this world, this is bought by himself with real money, Lenovo don't expect to be able to take it back lightly.
The two of them were muttering quietly, and someone interjected: "What kind of lawsuit?"
Both of them were taken aback, Chen Qiaoshan looked back, and found that Xiao Wu was standing beside him, staring at the two curiously.
He said angrily: "Who did you learn from, it's rude to eavesdrop on someone else's conversation, you know?"
Xiao Wu was obviously very unconvinced, "Who wants to eavesdrop, I just stopped by to take a look, you guys are so loud, I happened to hear it." ”
Listening to her argument, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wu.
This little girl's eyes are full of cunning, he can't help but feel a headache, with such an eccentric sister, this future life will definitely not stop.
