"Okay, so let's not talk about the benefits - can you tell us a little bit more about the details of the litigation strategy against Apple that you just mentioned? ”

Henry Plov was not overwhelmed and gave up on questioning for the time being.

Feng Jianxiong smiled dumbly: "Do you Americans do things like this? This is a question that should only be talked about at the level of actual implementation." If you had entrusted me as special counsel, I would of course have put it together. ”

"You just said you don't have your own interests. Henry Plov scoffed slightly.

Feng Jianxiong said as a matter of course: "Of course I don't have my own interests, every American lawyer, when he serves the client's rights wholeheartedly, has no own interests, but that doesn't mean that he will work for free, right?" ”

Henry Plov shrugged his shoulders magnanimously: "But you're not an American lawyer. The U.S. law is complex, even if you understand general, universal jurisprudence and can win a lawsuit in China.

But in order to transplant this system to the judicial situation in the United States, I still need to rely on some senior lawyers in the United States, and I don't need to explain this, right? If you don't understand, I wonder why you met me today. ”

"So I made it very clear that I'm just a 'special adviser', and U.S. law doesn't require foundations to hire consultants based on qualifications. Feng Jianxiong emphasized word by word, and the focus of his tone was very clear,

"And not only do I want to be a special advisor to the EFF Foundation, but I also want Mr. Plov to take the lead and become an advisor to an important partner in the field. You know, the credibility of the Silicon Valley giants has always been stronger than that of the foundations, and I have that status, so as not to be called a 'title bought with money.'" You should know that the poor in China often have great malice towards those who donate to foreign foundations. ”

Henry Plov's eyes lit up, and then he asked a little wary, "Do you have any specific requirements for the remuneration of this consultant?"

"Nope. Feng Jianxiong replied frankly and crisply.

"That's asking for a name...... Henry Plov first muttered to himself, and then seemed to not want Feng Jianxiong to be too arrogant, and half reminded him,

"But even if I don't say yes, it's nothing. This bit of value you has is used up after you provide the idea. I'm going to go to Wall Street and find a partner at Ross & Associates, and as long as you have a little bit of creativity, he'll be able to do the same.

And the title of consultant of a well-known tech giant is not so easy to obtain. If Google gives you this title at this point in time today, it is undoubtedly tantamount to telling others that Google is also the driving force behind the scenes against Apple. How much will it cost me to help you earn this title?"

Top barristers, there will only be a blind spot for a while, I didn't expect that it is impossible to exist after telling you the idea, so that you can't get the icing on the cake.

In that case, the top law firms could all go out of business.

The half-claws that Feng Jianxiong confided in the conversation were enough to inspire the barristers who often worked with Henry Plov.

Of course, Henry Plov could not have deliberately offended Feng Jianxiong. Because if you want to help Feng Jianxiong become a nominal special adviser to Google or other giants at a sensitive moment, Plov has to pay a lot of favors.

Both sides know this.

The reason why I mentioned this is nothing more than to knock Feng Jianxiong: Now you have what you ask for me, not me who has asked for you.

If Feng Jianxiong really doesn't have any other hole cards, then he wants to invite him to buy his reputation, become this "special adviser", and have the foundation take the initiative to publicize it to the media......

He's going to get some blood, for example, to raise money for the Foundation's just cause.

However, Feng Jianxiong obviously does not intend to talk about money immediately.

In terms of money, how much money does he have? It's not that the other party has never seen money.

"Talking about money hurts feelings, what kind of oil and water can I squeeze out from a small fish and shrimp like me, who has a net worth of only two or three billion dollars and a cash flow of tens of millions of dollars. Mr. Plov, you are also talking and laughing with a person like Larry Page who is in a 10-billion-dollar business, and you are afraid that you will not be able to look down on what I have here. ”

In terms of attitude, he satisfied the opponent's home mentality, but the price code was not relaxed at all.

After finishing speaking, Feng Jianxiong first observed the change in the other party's expression, and confirmed that the other party had satisfied his posture, and then changed his words.

"Of course, money is not completely unnegotiable. I just hope that before you talk to me about money, you fully realize my long-term value – that I am capable of more than just catching a case like this. None of the partners I have worked with in the legal field for a long time have been disappointed so far. You should learn to believe that there is a prophetic world like God. ”

Feng Jianxiong's words are showing muscles.

Henry Plov may be very high, but after all, human nature is the same. The same tactics used by Feng Jianxiong when he dealt with Liu Yuanming were also applicable to Henry Plov.

The reason is the same, except that the size of the chips is many times larger.

That is to prove that "catching Apple's loophole is not something that I got by luck after exhausting my life's talents." It's that "the bad water in my head that comes to my reputation for money can't stop spraying out, it's just a small move, insignificant."

Didn't Feng Jianxiong back then rely on proving that "after abandoning the business model of brushing judicial fame, there is still a big business like the retrial committee brushing invention that is more expensive waiting behind", and made Liu Yuanming obedient.

Proving his proud historical record of exploiting loopholes in the legal profession to make a lot of money is the biggest magic weapon to boost the confidence of collaborators.

"Oh, I wonder what new gains Mr. Feng made besides the Apple case?" said Henry Plov cooperatively.

"Far from it, let's just talk about some of the achievements that have been achieved casually in the past two months. Feng Jianxiong looked very modest, and seemed to uphold the excellent quality of "a good man does not mention the courage of the year", only for now.

"I wonder if Mr. Prov has any knowledge of the field of 'web games'? Your foundation is engaged in copyright protection, so you should be involved. ”

Henry Plov thought about it, but he didn't expect Feng Jianxiong's attempt, so he just replied calmly and positively: "I understand, it is a hard-hit area for infringement." ”

There are browser games in China, and of course there are in the United States. It's just that the market is not so developed.

After all, free-to-play games are not so popular in the United States, and the console market in the United States is relatively large.

However, Henri Plov certainly knows something about the dynamics of the industry.

Feng Jianxiong Shi Ran said: "I am expected to earn more than $100 million in additional profits through differentiated legal operations in the Chinese web game market this year. This kind of record should be enough to gain your trust in my vision. ”

"Hundreds of millions of dollars in excess profits, are you sure it's due to 'differentiated operations at the legal level'?" Henry Plov was still unconvinced.

A web game company that made more than $100 million a year in profits through infringement. This bridge Henry Plov was convinced of its existence.

If the boss behind the scenes happens to be Feng Jianxiong, it is enough to prove that he is well-run and sharp-eyed – but this vision is not necessarily legal, nor does it necessarily have the value of being a long-term partner of the EFF Foundation.

But if this profit of more than $100 million is really due to the differentiated operation of legal affairs......

He has never seen such a precedent in the Internet intellectual property community in the United States.

Maybe the high-end legal operations of the financial world on Wall Street can do this kind of thing, but Silicon Valley really doesn't.

Of course, what we are talking about here is "the differentiated operation of legal affairs", not that the big and important cases win the lawsuit and claim - if the lawsuit is won, it is the money that the employer should have, and it cannot be called "the income generated by the operation of the lawyer's group".

"It seems that you don't believe it, the specific details, involving trade secrets, I can't say too much. I'm also sure that you don't have much interest in browser games in the Chinese market, so let's dial it a little bit......"

Feng Jianxiong roughly described what he did, the parts that were not very sensitive and could not be easily copied after listening.

Including how he asked Liu Yuanming to operate "selective infringement" in China, using the combination of big data feedback, picking soft persimmons or small deaf and blind stars, testing the waters of infringement first, and then considering long-term infringement and endorsement after the good response. If the fans lose too quickly and the "half-life of character" is too short, then first stabilize the snake and then abandon it......

Yes, it's the "half-life of character".

In English, Feng Jianxiong directly used the combination of the words "character" and "half-life" to express his objectivity bloodily and coldly.

There is no subjective likes and dislikes, and there is no will of any superiors. Man can also be reduced to a chemical element whose properties can be expected, without any "accidents".

When Henry Plov heard the word "half-life", he couldn't help but shudder.

He believed that the guy he had met so far was one of the most insidious and vicious people on the planet.

Since the other party can come up with so much money in just a few months, it should be that the ability to risk bad water in the future is still guaranteed......

The two sides dismantled the tricks for a while, and finally Feng Jianxiong saw that the time was ripe and put forward his full conditions just right.

"Mr. Plov, here is a pledge letter of $10 million. I would like to fight for copyright protection and freedom of property rights for all mankind. Please also give me a full stage.

I would like to see the righteousness of your association be carried out in the United States as soon as possible, as I have envisioned, and that the role I have played will be fully reported and recognized in the mainstream media. ”

Henry Plov looked at the papers in his hand and pondered for a long time: "I'll help you make an appointment with Mr. Larry Page for a coffee." I'll help you find Mr. Desmond, the CLO of Google, for a favor. As for the case, it will go along your train of thought as soon as possible. However, it will be at least the middle of the year to get to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and give a general interpretation — you should know how fast the U.S. judicial system works, which is already the fastest. ”
