Chapter 20: Cao Dead Joe Dog
"Then you just wait for QQ and FaceChat to occupy the social market on the APP-STORE. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jobs's nasolabial folds twitched, and he seemed to have a nervous breakdown, and he put down a cruel sentence in a big loss of manners, without even saying goodbye politely, and turned around and left.
Peter Till didn't come to his senses, and it wasn't until Jobs was gone for a few seconds that he realized the problem was serious.
"Although this is conducive to our publicity, what about the interests of the company?" he and Li Ying couldn't help but be a little stiff when they said this.
Li Ying is fine.
"Don't worry, the iPhone won't do it, even if they fully support QQ and FaceChat, they won't be able to attract many users. And I am sure to take advantage of this opportunity to raise the social image of YY to more than one level, and shape us into a beacon of 'leading the free world from erosion', and it won't be long before our user base doublesββ"
When Li Ying said this, seeing Peter Tiel's lips fanning a few times, she made a gesture to stop the other party from interjecting, "I know what you're worried about - give me half a year, if I can't do it, you can impeach me and remove me as CEO, and I'm willing to give up some of the management shares to the damaged shareholders according to the performance." β
Seeing that Li Ying said so domineeringly, Peter Till couldn't press it anymore.
"Can you tell us about your specific plans?"
"Well, that's a long story. LI YING THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT AND DECIDED TO START EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE THAT PETER TIL COULD EASILY UNDERSTAND, "FIRST OF ALL, AS FAR AS I KNOW, AFTER THE RUMORS OF JOBS DEPLOYING APP-STORE FOR IPHONE-3G, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW TECHNICAL CRACKING TEAMS ON THE MARKET THAT ARE DEVELOPING 'IOS SYSTEM JAILBREAK PROGRAMS', YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, RIGHT?"
"How can I care about these illegal businesses? I don't have a deep friendship with Jobs, and I haven't studied his affairs!" Peter Thiel emphasized clearly, and there was a lot of anger in his tone, "The reason why I am helping today is entirely because I can't sit back and watch you sacrifice the company's user scale interests to deliver to YY Electronics!"
"It's okay if you don't know, I'll give you a rough explanation. β
Li Ying said, and roughly told Peter Thiel what the jailbreak and the corresponding ROOT system were (I don't know the word water science, everyone on the earth knows it), and after explaining, Li Ying didn't forget to add one point:
"You just said that jailbreaking is 'that kind of illegal business', but I want to emphasize one point: it is indeed illegal to develop software that tampers with and destroy software and computer systems developed by others, but it is not illegal for users to voluntarily use such software on their own computers/mobile phones to exercise absolute control and control over the purchased hardware they own - these are two different things. β
"What you said, and what I expressed, is there any difference between this?" Peter Tillen paused for a moment, "What's more, what you just said, I have also pondered about it, other incompatible software is not allowed to be installed on mobile phones, isn't this the previous industry practice? Samsung, Nokia, and Moto's mobile phones are also pre-installed at the factory, and only a few BREW platforms can install JAVA programs." Apple's regulatory software vendors can't legally say anything that can particularly arouse consumer disgust, right?"
Li Ying came to a straightforward conclusion: "Of course there is a difference - I mean, the development of jailbreak software may be illegal, and it needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis." But it is certainly legal for consumers to use jailbreak software. If Apple only restricts developers, there will be no public outrage. But as long as he restricts consumers, I'm sure to make him stink. β
Peter Till still hadn't fully figured it out, but he decided not to ask for a deep understanding and to hear what Li Ying was going to do first.
"Okay, let's explain it then, tell me about your plans. β
Before Li Ying revealed the plan and the plan, she finally confirmed: "You promise not to leak it to Jobs?"
Peter Thiel had a look of "you are thinking too much": "How is it possible! I just want to protect the interests of the company." If your plan really works, why should I object to it? I'll just quietly watch your layout, unless you let me down. β
"WELL, YOU'RE THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER, SO I'LL REVEAL IT -- I CAN SPECULATE THAT ONCE THE IPHONE-3G SALES ARE IN FULL SWING AND JAILBREAK WILL APPEAR SOON, THEN, WITH JOBS' ARROGANCE, APPLE WILL DEFINITELY SUE SOME CONSUMERS FOR USING JAILBREAK TO TRY TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THE MONKEY -- DON'T WORRY, EVEN IF JOBS DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT, I'M SURE TO INDUCE HIM TO MAKE A BIG LAWSUIT."
Then, there will be a big funder who will give a large sum of money to the EFF (Electronic-Frontier-Foundation), so that the foundation will start to mediate and sponsor the responding consumers, so that they can initiate a public interest collective counterclaim, and ask the court to rule that Apple's claim to block the prison break is illegal on the grounds of the relevant laws on consumer rights protection.
Ultimately, our goal is to use the court's decision to urge the Federal Copyright Office to revise the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Once all this is achieved, we will also use our own media to spread the advantages of YY.com, desperately build up a campaign to promote our consistent opposition to Apple's censorship, and build ourselves into a public image of 'for the free will and free choice of consumers, rather than losing some users'.
As we all know, social networking products determine which user is displayed on, and the innocence of public image and social opinion is very important. If we can seize this opportunity to carry the banner of 'protecting the free will of consumers', are you afraid that the number of users will not skyrocket?"
Peter Thiel was silent for a long time, completely unsure of how to express his opinion.
He couldn't figure out how Li Ying could have such a far-reaching plan, just to force himself by stabbing Jobs in the back.
He swallowed his saliva, felt that his throat was not so dry, and said with a wry smile: "The big donor you said who 'will give a lot of money to the EFF Foundation' should be Gu Cheng, right?"
Li Ying generously admitted: "You guessed right, rest assured, he uses his own private money, and he has nothing to do with YY.com, and he won't report to us." We just don't need to spend money to wave the flag and shout, and finally gain fame. β
Peter Till felt that there was a question that he could not figure out: "Why does Gu Cheng hate Jobs so much? I remember that five or six years ago, he used the patented submarine of the Ipod and joined forces with Samsung to put Jobs together, which made Jobs lose at least one or two percent of the market. It is said that Jobs didn't offend him, so isn't it good to go along with Jobs to make money and earn users?"
"It can't be helped, President Truman said, "Somebody has to take on the international obligation to lead the free world, doesn't it? β
Peter Thiel rolled his eyes and gave up all persuasion.
β¦β¦
Li Ying's tricks to deal with Jobs were of course taught to her by Gu Cheng from a high position.
Because he is fully aware that Apple has also faced counterclaims for EEF operation in history, and the lawsuit has finally been fought to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which finally ruled that Apple lost the lawsuit on the grounds that "according to the spirit of the relevant laws on consumer protection in the United States, consumers have absolute freedom to control the products they pay for".
In other words, unless Jobs has a kind of learning from Boss Jia, who was born on the street after the "ecological anti-revolution", "buy a content package/software package, and give LeTV TV/LeTV mobile phone", then Jobs may still win this lawsuit - because his mobile phone is no longer sold to consumers, he sells software and content copyright, and the mobile phone/TV is given away for free. Therefore, the fact that the user gets the mobile phone does not lead to the fact that the user is a consumer of the mobile phone.
AND AS LONG AS THE IPHONE'S HARDWARE STILL HAS TO BE SOLD FOR MONEY, THIS LAWSUIT JOBS IS BOUND TO LOSE - IN THE EYES OF THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES, CONSUMERS WANT TO USE THE MOBILE PHONE THEY BOUGHT WITH THEIR OWN MONEY TO GO TO JAILBREAK, AND CONSUMERS WANT TO UPLOAD A "WATER PRESS CRUSHING IPHONE DEMONSTRATION VIDEO" OR "BULLET SHOOTING IPHONE VIDEO" ON YOUTUBE, WHICH IS A NATURE, A REASON - PEOPLE HAVE PAID FOR IT, AND YOU SHOULD GRASS YOUR MOBILE PHONE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.
As long as the mobile phone collects money, in the eyes of the law of the United States, Apple sells "products" rather than "services", and the case must be determined in accordance with the consumer protection law for "products". Even if Apple itself is proud to be a service company, the law will not admit it.
IT'S A PITY THAT IN ANOTHER TIME AND SPACE, THIS LAWSUIT WAS FOUGHT LATE - 09 YEARS BEFORE THE PROSECUTION BEGAN, 10 YEARS BEFORE THE TRIAL, WHEN THE CASE ENDED, THERE WERE ALREADY NEARLY 300,000 APPS IN THE APP-STORE, IOS HAS BUNDLED A HUGE USER ECOLOGY, IT IS DIFFICULT TO BLOCK.
In addition, after too many embarrassed communities of interest, most online media apps have become "friend businessmen", and everyone tacitly gave Jobs face, and did not repeatedly use this lawsuit to publicize and forcibly slap his face, which eventually made Apple more and more arrogant.
Now, there is Gu Cheng, a guy who has been aiming at him all the time before Jobs hit the road, ready to cut bones and tendons, and staring at the guy who is ready to cut his bones and bones, and as soon as he comes up, he will open up public opinion and pour dirty water, if Jobs can still live a nourishing life, Gu Cheng should not be confused.
At the beginning, when Gu Cheng fully revealed this plan to Li Ying, Li Ying's doubts in her heart were no less than those of Peter Til today.
Even if you want to make a mobile phone, the mobile phone business is also your secondary business, and YY, Renren and Alipay are your basic plates. Isn't it good to make a fortune with Jobs? As long as you are willing to cooperate, I am even sure that Jobs will be stuck on the road to the launch of QQ's APP for a few months after entering the domestic market. β
At that time, Gu Cheng's answer was: "I am fighting for the free will of mankind, making so much money, and becoming the richest man in Asia, isn't it used to teach those sluts who 'glorify the will of the forcible and rape as a fatherly push' to be a human being." β
"But a lot of people don't care. β
Of course, there are a lot of people who don't care -- the presidential election in the United States is strict enough, and at least half of the voters are too lazy to vote every four years. But can the people of the United States wantonly emasculate the people's right to vote, or say, "I recommend you to vote for whomever and whom?" Because so many voters do not care about voting, can they wantonly castrate the people's right to vote, or "I recommend you to vote for whomever and whomever you want"? Of course not! Even if the voters of the United States cannot vote for the president, they can only partially influence the deputies of the district and county people's congresses, and the rights of those who are willing to vote are also sacred. β
"But in this way, it is very likely that Marten and Zuckerberg will get an ally out of thin air and cause us a little trouble again. β
"I'd rather let Matten and Zuckerberg live a little more nourishing than kill Jo Dog -- I've been pushing AI for three years, and I'm trying to protect the free will of consumers for all of humanity? Everyone has the right to choose what they really like, what they like exactly, rather than being stuffed with something similar, even if there is no obvious difference in function between the two. Everyone has the right to choose a hobby that is not coerced by fashion and social interaction, even if it is the only one in the world who likes it, we must respect their choice. Without free will, wouldn't we go back before the Enlightenment?
