BSA has always appeared as the spokesperson for Microsoft's interests, and this time it is naturally no problem, so after seeing the main owner coming, that person said, "Since everyone is a Sven, then this time we can talk carefully about the suspected use of pirated indos software by the southwest branch of the PCFANS club to infringe on Microsoft's business interests." β
Fan Wuxian directly interrupted the other party's words rudely, and then asked impatiently, "Who are you?" β
The man was interrupted, and immediately felt a little stunned, although the BSA is only a business software alliance, but it is highly valued all over the world, and has always appeared as the spokesperson of business software, basically qualified for direct dialogue with governments, and it is rare for someone to point their nose and ask you such a question as insulting as now.
"I am BSA Asia Vice Chairman Powelly, entrusted by Microsoft to negotiate infringement matters in Chinese mainland, here, I can make a judgment on behalf of Mr. Bill Gates on the current situation of infringement against your company, and have the right to consider whether to file a lawsuit against your company." The man raised his head and said to Fan Wuxian in a stumbling manner.
"Oh, lawsuits, what's the big deal?" Fan Wuxian said indifferently, "My lawyer team has not had business for a long time, if you are bored and panicked, I can completely let them come out and move their muscles, the longer the lawsuit lasts, the better, anyway, there is no ironclad evidence for this kind of thing, everyone is right." β
As soon as Fan Wuxi's words came out, the room was full of . Everyone looked at him in amazement, as if they had seen a monster.
Generally speaking, encountering others accusing themselves of theft. Edition infringement or something, usually people's reaction is to deny it first, and then deny it in every possible way, even if they are caught, they must put on a variety of reasons to defend themselves, such as being a victim of genuine software, or that they have no ability to distinguish between genuine and pirated versions, or that they have been deceived by the dealer, if they can't convince the other party for various reasons, there is another reason to use, that is, to bite back, Microsoft is accused of carrying out a pirated marketing model in Chinese mainland to crack down on other similar products, encroaching on the market share of the operating system through piracy tactics, and forming a de facto industry monopoly.
If none of these reasons work, you. Examples such as India or Indonesia can also be used to counter the other side, and since piracy can be tolerated in these countries, why can't Chinese mainland, which is also a developing country? Moreover, the global unified pricing strategy you have formulated is obviously price discrimination, and the selling price in the mainland market is much higher than that in Europe and the United States.
All in all, Microsoft has a lot of excrement on its butt, and there are a lot of reasons why you want to mess with them.
It's a pity that Fan Wuxian didn't talk about these contents at all, and he expressed it directly. showed that he was not afraid of lawsuits at all, and directly showed off his huge team of lawyers, and strictly stated that this kind of lawsuit was protracted and fruitless, which made people feel that he was too rampant.
Sure enough, Powell stammered after hearing Fan's words. "You, how can you do this?" Is this the way civilized people talk? β
"You're not open to me. It's done! Anyway, I have three suggestions, and you all have listened! Fan Wuxian didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of lackey-type little person, Bill Gates played a little trick behind his back, which already made him feel very unhappy, and when he saw their agent at this time, he naturally didn't have a good face, "First, whether it is piracy or infringement has not yet been determined." Second, we are preparing to file a lawsuit on this matter against Microsoft for possible involvement in the infringement of our trade secrets. Third, on the issue of BSA's provision of false data, we consider establishing a new alliance of public welfare organizations that can represent the interests of the majority of vendors in the software industry to resist BSA that serves the interests of a small number of vendors. β
After speaking his point of view in one breath, Fan Wuxian finally concluded, "Well, that's it for now. β
After saying these words, Fan Wuxian glanced at Luo Daming, the manager of the southwest branch, and then signaled, "Okay, the people from Microsoft and the people from BSA can leave." β
Luo Daming was overjoyed when he heard it, Xin Dao Fan is really strong, organizations like Microsoft and BSA, others will be afraid of three points after hearing it, he is good, he will directly pick people up, too characterful, too angry!
"Deputy Director Chen, don't you have any opinion on this?" The people from BSA and Microsoft indignantly confronted the deputy director of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
Deputy Director Chen was originally forced to come over, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the department was very concerned about this matter and forcibly assigned his leader in charge to be responsible for this matter, he would not have shown his head.
What is PCFANS Club? It is the largest private enterprise in the country, not to mention that one behind the people is the Fan Investment Group, and the other is the new Politburo member Fan Heng is supporting, who can afford to provoke money, money, power, and power?
Moreover, this time, the grapevine said that Deputy Director Chen was also a little bit, it seems that Vice Governor Jiang was lost face at the meeting by Fan Wuxi, and he instigated Director Hu of the Department of Culture to come out to retaliate, and Microsoft seems to have been used by Director Hu and stupidly fell into this dispute that is destined to be in dire straits.
What is the benefit of getting involved in this kind of thing? Therefore, although Deputy Director Chen brought people over, he didn't say a word, didn't express his position, and was unwilling to take this kind of thing on himself.
Today's Microsoft, because of the recent anti-piracy action, the response in China is very poor, in many places in the universities, there is almost no flag to march on the streets, anyone who stands on the side of Microsoft, is unwise, it is ridiculous that Director Hu still wants to borrow Microsoft's power to suppress the southwest branch of the PCFANS club, but he did not expect that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention the head snake of PCFANS, at this time there has long been a sign of turning into a dragon.
All in all, in the eyes of Deputy Director Chen, Director Hu is a fool, in order to use the power of Vice Governor Jiang, he was willing to fall into this piracy door incident, and now the most troublesome thing is that the People's Security Bureau has intervened, and if the ins and outs of this time are really investigated, it is estimated that Director Hu's prognosis is extremely bad.
Therefore, when Powell of the BSA questioned himself, Deputy Director Chen snorted and said, "Haha, doing business, peace is precious, why quarrel?" Besides, what is the current situation, isn't it still inconclusive, you say that people are pirated, people say that people are not pirated, people say that you framed and stole people's trade secrets, you don't deny it. This is always something that needs to be figured out slowly. β
Hearing Deputy Director Chen say this, Powell Li obviously couldn't accept it, "Deputy Director Chen, what you said is a little wrong, before you came, Director Hu said that you would cooperate closely with our work, why is it different when you come here?" β
Deputy Director Chen is also a figure in the officialdom, when did a group of foreigners dictate? What's more, this person in front of him seems to be a fake foreign devil? He turned his face and said, "The Agency for Cultural Affairs is certainly responsible for cracking down on piracy, but the current situation is so complicated, we can't take one side of the story, after all, hum, it is said that the BSA data is also problematic, and Microsoft, as a party of interest, may not provide fair testimony, right?" Besides, what exactly is going on, there is still a need for an arbitration institution to make a judgment, and I am just witnessing it now. β
After finishing speaking, Deputy Director Chen turned his head to the side very unceremoniously, and no longer paid attention to these fake foreign devils and real foreign devils, obviously he meant that Lao Tzu was no longer serving, aren't you familiar with Director Hu? Then move him out, can it be said that because I don't contribute, he dares to do something to me?
BSA and Microsoft people also felt very embarrassed when they saw that Deputy Director Chen was actually picking, they naturally couldn't stay here alone and wanted to make any changes to the southwest branch of the PCFANS club, so they could only leave stupidly, and when they left, Powellley also let out big words, this time it was definitely a high claim against PCFANS.
"No matter how high your claim is, it's useless, Lao Tzu won't give you a penny, do you think the court was opened by your family?!" Fan Wuxian replied solemnly.
After the people from BSA and Microsoft left, Fan Wuxi immediately waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and serve tea to Deputy Director Chen, it's been so long, I'm angry with this group of grandchildren, but I've neglected the guests." β
"Where, Mr. Fan is too polite to say this-" Deputy Director Chen took the tea handed over by the staff with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "I have long been interested in PCFANS Club and Fan's Investment Group, but I have never had a chance, and this time I came to the door, but it was easy to be misunderstood as a villain." β
"The PCFANS club also has its own software business, and we also have a headache for piracy." Fan Wuxian said very sincerely, "Deputy Director Zhang is in charge of this work, if you have time, you are very welcome to come over and have a look and give some valuable comments." β
"Thank you very much, I will come and go often in the future." Deputy Director Zhang agreed with a grin.
Deputy Director Zhang didn't sit long, and stayed for about ten minutes before leaving.
After the other party left, Luo Daming came up and asked, "Mr. Fan, your attitude towards Deputy Director Zhang is very different from your attitude towards BSA drinking Microsoft." β
"That's natural." Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "Although we didn't say it explicitly, but in the eyes of many people, I, the boss, still have an official and business background, so naturally I can't walk on two paths with government officials, and although Microsoft and BSA are also relatively powerful, they are outsiders after all, and helping outsiders to partner and bully their own people is taboo in officialdom." β
After Luo Daming listened, he nodded again and again.
In fact, this time, Vice Governor Jiang and Director Hu partnered to plot the southwest branch of the PCFANS Club, that is, they made a mistake in judgment, thinking that Fan Wuxian would definitely not invest too much energy in such a small matter, but they didn't expect that Fan Wuxian would come to Biyun City in person to deal with this matter during the Chinese New Year.
And what they didn't expect was that there were some confidential documents in the computer of the southwest branch of the PCFANS club, and Fan Wuxian took this opportunity to use the people from the security department.
What they didn't expect was that the real reason for the current pinch between Microsoft and the PCFANS Club was actually caused by the dispute between China and the United States on the issue of intellectual property rights.
On this issue, Vice Governor Jiang and Director Hu are indeed short-sighted, while Deputy Director Chen stands in the position of deputy position, but he sees it more clearly, and he puts Director Hu together, and has a relationship with Fan Wuxi.
"So, what should we do next?" Luo Daming asked Fan Wuxian for instructions.
"What's nextβ" Fan Wuxian said after a pause, "that is to rely on the power of public opinion." β
"The power of public opinion?" Luo Daming asked with some puzzlement.
"That's right, it's the power of public opinion!" Fan Wuxi affirmed very firmly.
Fan Wuxian didn't stay in Biyun City for long, and now the time is still in the first month, and the matter here has already been intervened by people from the Ministry of Security, at least the southwest branch will not suffer, and the next thing is nothing more than being in a long quarrel, and he has enough time to prepare for a lawsuit with Microsoft.
Therefore, Fan Wuxian and Ziqi returned to the capital on the evening of the sixth day of the new year.
However, when Fan Wuxian returned to the capital, the media here was very lively, and there were two things discussed, one was that Fan Heng had replaced the Standing Committee and officially entered the highest power structure, and the other thing was the epoch-making network "Flying Tomorrow", which was very popular on the Internet.
The two things actually revolve around a father and son, which is also a strange phenomenon in the news industry.
How many years has it been, and there has not been such a lively scene in the capital? There are no pop-ups
