Zhou Hongyi watched Park Yingguan leave and returned to his office, a pair of eagle eyes stared quietly at the haze outside the window, and his nasolabial folds twitched slightly, as if his heart was under great pressure. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is not a brute force, and he knows how many risks and confrontations there are behind every decision.

After a while, Shi Hong, who was also a translator of Yi and helped him negotiate with him, sent Park Yingguan downstairs and walked into Zhou Hongyi's office.

Shi Hong is Zhou Hongyi's confidant, and he was a veteran when 3722 Company was founded. According to the normal trajectory of history, he will be promoted to the company's CTO in a little more than a year, and he will also serve as the assistant to the president in the Tiger 361 era.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to etiquette in front of Zhou Hongyi, and he didn't knock on the door when he entered. Zhou Hongyi doesn't care about these either, he has a bit of a subordinate style that the boss of the rivers and lakes and his subordinates call him a brother.

Generally speaking, the assistant to the president of a large Internet company is promoted from the operation or financial level, and it is rare for someone from the technical department to be the assistant to the president. And the reason why Zhou Hongyi's management style is so strange is also related to the business model of 3722 and even later 361 -

Companies that start out as rogue software and collect protection fees don't need so many serious marketers and operators. Just like the club that collects protection money, it is the hardest fist guy who performs the best and is the easiest to be trusted by the boss.

In any case, Zhou Hongyi has also done a good thing: in his company, the unruly and unsociable tech nerds can always get a better upward path than other Internet companies. Just as all hackers are generally not good at communicating with people, they are only good at using technology to take down people's servers and then wait for people to obediently deliver money to their door.

"The bottom of the Dongyi people, did you find out thoroughly last time?" Zhou Hongyi was stunned for a while, and asked to himself.

Shi Hong confidently confirmed: "I know clearly, WEMADE's business in Dongyi is basically yellow, as if it has offended the senior management of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, and they can only rely on us now." However, it's really good for us to tie them up like this and offend Gu Cheng to death......"

"Ah Hong! Born as a masterpiece!" Zhou Hongyi's face turned cold, and he decisively stopped the hesitation of his subordinates, "In the circle of the Internet, only one of each subdivision can survive. If you are willing to be the second child, it is equivalent to death. If we just want to have no worries about food and clothing, the 100 million yuan we have on hand now is not enough for our brothers to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime? Why do we still have to fight? Isn't it just to achieve a career? In that case, what else are you afraid of?"

Zhou Hongyi's 3722 has a revenue balance of one or two hundred million yuan so far, and there are tens of millions of money in gray transactions on private accounts outside. And there are only a dozen veteran employees who started with Zhou Hongyi, and all the core employees add up to dozens.

This money can indeed be divided privately, and it can indeed ensure that all henchmen have a good life -- a few million yuan in 2002 is not a small amount of money, and the 90-square-meter house in the third ring road of the capital is only 500,000 units.

This is the last confidence for the henchmen to dare to follow Zhou Hongyi and take risks.

Shi Hong didn't refute, Zhou Hongyi sat back on the swivel chair, took a sip of tea and said earnestly: "Gu Cheng's Alipay antivirus and security guard, saying that it is tied to Alipay users to send activation codes, but in the long run, it is almost free - he can bind a MAC address in the first year to allow 5% of domestic netizens to use his Alipay." If no one restricts him after unbinding, how fast will he develop?

In less than three years, all domestic soft-killing companies will be boiled to death by boiled frogs in warm water. It's ridiculous that those short-sighted guys still think that Gu Cheng has no intention of starting an all-out war with them, and they still accept Gu Cheng's armistice red envelopes -- if the domestic market for killing software and killing rogue software is unified at that time, what else can we 3722 do? Ask them to collect protection money? Will they still give it?"

"The security software market has always started with being a thief and collecting protection fees, but if you can be the biggest thief, you will be transferred to become an officer and soldier, and you can legally collect white 'market management fees'. Why should people be the boss and be the officers and soldiers, and we should be the second and the thieves? Get rid of the boss, and if you sit in that position, you will be an officer and soldier!"

Zhou Hongyi's theory is quite a bit of a backbone that he knows he can't do, just like "If you don't kill the thief, the king will die." But sit and wait for death, which is the one who will cut it down. ”

The existing foundation of 3722 is, after all, a business that makes quick money, with the dependence of netizens on navigation, the decline of the effect of homepage hijacking, and the popularity of killing soft. The cards in Zhou Hongyi's hand will definitely depreciate. And the faster Gu Cheng's business grows, the faster Zhou Hongyi will depreciate.

In this case, there is enough money left for the brothers to support their families, and the rest is better than fighting to the death.

Shi Hong didn't raise any further objections, but just rightly raised a question: "So, what should those trapped investors do if they oppose us? Especially before the bubble crashed the year before last, Guoxin Software, which entered the market at the highest level, would definitely not want the company to grow like this." They also expect the company to retain its good reputation and survive the cold winter and wait for the receiver to get rid of it. ”

Zhou Hongyi disagreed: "Guoxin's gang must be unconvinced." But the private service business can't go through the public account of 3722 in the first place, so let's just do it with a different shell. Also, Fu Sheng and a few of them, if they insist, they will grasp a little bit and stagger it. Give Guoxin a little excuse for face. ”

Shi Hong was shocked: "Expel it?" What if they surrender to the enemy and leak secrets?"

Zhou Hongyi: "How many core insiders do they know about us? It is nothing more than that we have to carry Gu Cheng to the end and will not compromise." The specifics of our operation, they simply don't know. Even if I opened his front foot and went to Gu Cheng with his back foot, it would just make Gu Cheng immediately discover our determination, and it would save us ten days and half a month of preparation time, which would be harmless. ”

Shi Hong silently wrote down the boss's instructions, and stepped back to implement them without mentioning them.

……

In Da Dong's roast duck, Gu Cheng and Lei Jun had already squeezed out everything Fu Sheng knew. After some evaluation, Fu Sheng was also recruited: if he didn't want to mess with Zhou Hongyi, Alipay would leave him a suitable middle-level position at any time.

Gu Cheng also didn't want to raise the position of the person who "took the initiative to join the enemy" too high, even if that person had a reasonable position and motives.

Because he doesn't want to leave an impression of "like to surrender and rebel" to the melon-eating masses who don't know the truth to the outside world.

The biggest gain from Fu Sheng's mouth, in addition to the determination of "Zhou Hongyi is ready to carry it to the end", is to learn about the existence of "a certain Dongyi game company that is in contact with Zhou Hongyi".

The rest of the news is just scraps, and it doesn't seem to be of much importance in the short term.

Fu Sheng's position is too low to enter Zhou Hongyi's inner circle, so he doesn't know the specific origin of the "Dongyi Game Company".

But Gu Cheng had already had a holiday with Park Yingguan, so he naturally locked the target all of a sudden.

The reason for such a situation is, in the final analysis, Park Yingguan made a small pit on his teammates - when he contacted Zhou Hongyi, he was naturally not stupid enough to tell Zhou Hongyi that he had contacted Kim Yingmin to deal with Gu Cheng once, and failed, and he was still registered on Gu Cheng's blacklist.

Because otherwise, Zhou Hongyi will definitely weigh whether to cooperate with such a guy with the qualifications of a pit teammate, at least it will reduce Park Yingguan's asking power in Zhou Hongyi.

So Zhou Hongyi didn't know how exposed his new teammate had been.

After eating a roast duck and a few plates of roasted duck hearts, after sending Fu Sheng away. Gu Cheng and Lei Jun sat down for a while, drinking tea and checking the situation.

Gu Cheng didn't bother to think about how to deal with Zhou Hongyi's strategy, and let Lei Jun, who had a relatively high EQ experience, think about it.

Lei Jun thought for a long time and sighed: "Zhou Hongyi is very good at protecting himself, and he has never been in person before. It's impossible to get straight to the heart. Moreover, the cooperation in this aspect of 'Legend of Blood', he was also plotting just now, and he did not implement it, so it is difficult for us to grasp this handle.

I think it's better to start from the periphery. With the clues provided by Fu Sheng, we can roughly make such an inference: Zhou Hongyi's group of people who are in the family are very wild, and those who are in the business of stealing numbers and selling equipment should not only do this business.

They have formed a cancer that sucks blood in all directions on the body of the 'legend', and they may be the ones who sell plug-ins, and it should be this group of people who plan to set up private servers in the future. If we concentrate on secretly knocking out a few of these nodes, and then pacify them and let them be tainted witnesses, it is possible to catch more evidence and context of the private server network in the future preparation. ”

Gu Cheng did not immediately express his opinion. He was still not familiar enough with the legal environment of this era.

"Do you expect to solve the problem by formal legal means? Can it solve the root cause? At present, the national law is still very vague about whether electronic data and virtual items are protected by property rights. Even if there is evidence, it will be difficult to do just the theft of online game equipment......"

Gu Cheng's worries are not unreasonable.

At the beginning of his travels, based on the concept of his later life, he took it for granted that "virtual objects composed of electronic data are also property and are protected by law". But when he returned, he found that it was not so taken for granted.

Prior to the March 2002 partial termination, Huaxiaguo's legal interpretation was still emphasizing the classical legal definition of "property is the condensation of undifferentiated human labor" in the doctrine of horses. It is believed that the creation of "electronic data" is not the result of "labor" and can be modified at will, so its property rights are not protected by law.

This is also why, on the one hand, there are a large number of "RMB warriors" in the society who frantically spend RMB to buy equipment, and on the other hand, the law does not accept the report of game number theft - even if it is accepted, it is only determined that it should "compensate for the remaining point cards in the game account and the point cards that should be consumed to obtain the level and equipment in the game".

In other words, stealing a card is considered theft, and only paying for the card money if the case is solved. The time a player spends in the game is not protected by the law, because the law at the time did not consider it to be "labor" - if you spend time playing the game, you are already happy, and the time is spent on buying cool, not on laboring to obtain equipment. There is no property right to the random results and achievements obtained in the process.

Gu Cheng roughly described his worries, and finally summarized his doubts: "I also know that this legal dispute is only temporary, and it will be reversed in a year or two at most." Unfortunately, I don't know how to turn it around. ”

However, Lei Jun listened to Gu Cheng's question, not only was he not worried, but he was very relieved: "It turns out that you are worried about this? The meeting will be held in March, and the current legal game between the two sides of the dispute on this issue is actually quite balanced, if you are willing to push more, I guarantee that it will be passed by then." ”

Gu Chenghu was hesitant: "What to do?"

As long as you can prove that the tax-paying ability of this industry is also promising, the state will naturally consider online game equipment to be a legal property right. The risks behind are all solved - when the time comes, you will go to the bureau to report the case, and ensure that you will be dispatched to the police in minutes. ”

"Could it be that Chen Tianqiao in history also used this kind of rough help to promote?" Gu Cheng felt that there was an electric light in his heart, and it opened up a lot.

"Okay, let's do this as soon as possible, I don't want to ask in person. ”
