Chapter Seventy-Five: Winning the Face and Losing the Lizi......
Bai Shaoying struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Presiding Judge, last week, just after the plaintiff met with the defendant and issued a warning, the Taste APP was attacked again by an online water army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"These trolls have carried out large-scale attacks on tasters in forums and application markets, inducing users to have cognitive biases. Moreover, they tried to impersonate another company in the same industry, Soda, to provoke fans who tried the app to fight back. This conduct was inspected and confirmed to be an organized attack by the defence. Here's what we have. ”
She projected an excel file, pointed to the dense data inside, and said: "Here is a list of a thousand netizens, all of whom are so-called downlines." On the second page, the accounts of more than 1,000 people in major forums and microblogs are listed. Even the transcripts of their speeches have been excerpted. ”
She projected a picture, which was a screenshot of Zhu Lei's mobile phone chatting.
A few lines of dialogue show: "This time, I want you to do it a little bit more violently, to form a storm of attacks, to be overwhelming with their negative news and posts." ”
……
“…… I have two regiments, each with 500 people, each with dozens of accounts on numerous forums...... Forwarding is in tens of thousands. Just take a look! ”
After Bai Shaoying sat down, Lin Yun immediately stood up.
"Presiding judge, the prosecution's point of view is extremely absurd, and the defendant has nothing to do with these cyberattacks," he exclaimed. As for the so-called IDC security report, I believe that since the report issuer has a commercial cooperation with the plaintiff, such a report has no objectivity at all, and its views cannot be adopted. ”
However, there is evidence that more than one million fans who have tasted the app have gone to major forums to insult and attack competitors such as delicious food and soda, and spread all kinds of rumors. The one who really used the water army and should be punished should be the plaintiff Fang Nake's studio. ”
Lin Yun said and spoke, suddenly stopped, looked at the paper in Bai Shaoying's hand, and was speechless for a while.
The paper in Bai Shaoying's hand has five pages, and on the cover page is written a few big words: "Network Promotion Contract." At the bottom of the cover page, there are two lines of words, which read: "Party A: Taigang Haoyu Network Technology Co., Ltd." Party B: Taigang Sunrise Network Promotion Service Co., Ltd. ”
When Zhu Lei saw this, he couldn't help but speak: "This contract? How could you have it? How did you get it? ”
Yan Wenlong looked at Zhu Lei's reaction, and thought to himself, what do you think I did when I chatted with you in Xiaoguang Temple last time, isn't it just to startle the snake, only if you continue to move, I can monitor your actions and obtain the necessary evidence.
Lin Yun's reaction was obviously faster than Zhu Lei's, and he was more sophisticated in dealing with it, and he protested as soon as possible.
"Presiding Judge, I think the plaintiff has once again used illegal means to obtain relevant evidence. Judging from the current situation, the defendant Zhu Lei was unknowingly recorded by the plaintiff for voiceprint identification. The defendant's mobile phone was also hacked by the plaintiff, so that the conversations and transmitted files in the mobile phone could be stolen. ”
"Regardless of whether this evidence is true or false, it was obtained by harming the rights and interests of our client, and it cannot be used as evidence in this case. In view of the despicable methods of the plaintiff, the presiding judge is requested to make an immediate judgment to sentence the plaintiff against the case and terminate the trial. Later, we will launch a counter-lawsuit against the plaintiff, alleging that Nako's studio violated the law. ”
When the presiding judge heard this, a look of impatience appeared on his face.
He thought for a while and said, "That's all for today's first trial, adjournment. During the adjournment, if the parties have other evidence, please submit it as soon as possible, but they must pay attention to the legitimacy of the evidence. Recess! After saying that, he slammed the hammer.
Looking at the presiding judge, the defendant and the witnesses, Bai Shaoying sighed, shook her head, and said to Yan Wenlong: "I messed up this lawsuit, and now I have a feeling of winning and losing." ”
"yes. We look aggressive, but we don't really do any damage. Win the face, lose the inside. ”
Yan Wenlong looked at Bai Shaoying, with a guilty face: "Actually, the responsibility lies with me, I did get these evidences through hacking." I'm too anxious, I should be patient and gather more reliable evidence. ”
The two looked at each other, and their faces showed extremely depressed expressions.
Yan Wenlong looked at Bai Shaoying, who was a little depressed, and said, "You don't have to worry. In fact, our purpose is to make Haoyu pay the price for unfair competition, and there is not necessarily only one way to achieve this goal. ”
On the third day after the trial, an unknown figure broke the news on the Internet, posting the information of the prosecution and defense in the trial and the content of the lawsuit on the Internet. The post described in detail the alleged unfair competition methods of the defendant, including Trojan horses, hacker attacks, coercion and inducements, trolls, etc.
As soon as this post came out, it immediately put the delicious company on the fire, causing millions of netizens to talk about it. Netizens are not concerned with the legitimacy of the evidence, but with its authenticity. Some enthusiasts have conducted an in-depth analysis and pointed out that the despicable behavior of the delicious company does exist.
Haoyu Company immediately issued a document, on the one hand, attacking the unknown person who leaked the case information, and said that it would resort to law. On the other hand, the article stated that the court is hearing the case, and it is not appropriate for the public to speculate and draw conclusions until there is an official result.
As soon as this public relations article came out, it was quickly scolded by netizens. Everyone believes that the delicious company lacks a moral bottom line, and the defendant still does not know how to reflect on himself when he goes to court.
There are a lot of jokes on the Internet, many of which link the word "delicious" with "shameless", similar to "You can't be too delicious!" "Your whole family is delicious!" "I've never seen anyone so delicious!" Such a sentence quickly spread on the Internet.
Every time the company defends itself on Weibo, it is scolded by more than 4 million netizens. Its company forums were also occupied by angry netizens. They swore that the good food company would not stop without apologizing.
Just as the delicious company struggles to maintain its lies, a fatal blow strikes, crushing their last defenses.
On September 11, the Taigang Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce issued an announcement, stating that a team had been dispatched to investigate the unfair competition case of Haoyu Technology Co., Ltd., and the investigation had been completed. The investigation results show that in the past two months, Haofeng Company has used a series of illegal means to frame and attack the Taste All APP.
In order to maintain market discipline and maintain an atmosphere of fair competition, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau decided to punish Haoyu Company with a fine of 200,000 yuan.
As soon as this news came out, the stock price of the originally crumbling delicious company plummeted, falling by 70% in three days, and its market value shrank by 28 billion yuan, suffering an unprecedented heavy blow.
Analysts have given rare rating recommendations such as "sell" and "avoid", which has also made the company's stock worse, and investors are rushing to flee all the way. Some small shareholders who have been deeply trapped hold banners outside the company every day to protest and scold the management.
This was followed by a wave of employee departures from the company. Some experienced core employees and middle managers have voluntarily resigned when they saw this situation. The company's human resources department kept conducting exit interviews, handling resignation procedures and recruitment, and in the end, even the employees and managers of the human resources department left one after another.
The biggest complaint of those employees who left the company was that the company lacked a bottom line, and in order to attack the opponent, they did everything they could, and finally buried the company. They don't want to work for this unethical company anymore because it will make them look up in front of the people around them.
Yan Wenlong knew the news, and of course he was in a good mood. Zhu Lei once threatened to bring down Nake's studio and trample his products to death, but the current situation is that he has survived all the tastes, but it is delicious but not far from death.
Yan Wenlong sat on a chair in the conference room and asked Xie Hong opposite, "Have you really decided?" ”
Xie Hong straightened his glasses and nodded: "Yes, boss, I have already decided." ”
He sighed: "Actually, I like this job very much, and I believe that I will have a good development on this platform." But this time, I really did it wrong. I tampered with the data, which seriously affected the image of the taste and caused damage to the brand, and I felt that I was responsible for it. ”
"It's a shame. Actually, I can understand you, you were coerced at the time, so you were very frightened, and I don't blame you. Your resignation will be a huge blow to me. Otherwise, you'd better stay. Yan Wenlong said.
"No, sir. I insisted on doing it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to face myself and my heart would not be at peace. Xie Hong said.
Yan Wenlong didn't say anything more, but agreed to Xie Hong's resignation, and he asked Xie Hong to do a good job in the recent operation and maintenance and do a good job in the handover work later.
After Xie Hong walked out of the conference room, before Yan Wenlong could sigh, he saw two reporters push the door and walk in. Those were the two reporters of the financial channel with whom he had an appointment.
A reporter in a white shirt sat down in front of Yan Wenlong, shook hands with Yan Wenlong, and then exchanged a few words of greeting before starting a formal interview.
"Mr. Yan, what do you think of the recent stock price drop of Haoyu Company?"
"I don't have any opinion, just two words: haha." Yan Wenlong responded with a smile.
"Mr. Yan is really straightforward. What do you think about the legal battle between Nako Studio and Delicious Company, and what actions will be taken in the future? ”
Yan Wenlong pouted and said: "Regarding the lawsuit of these two companies, I think it is not simply from the perspective of unfair competition, but to analyze in depth, why the current business concept has become like this?" Why can't there be more than two winners in the industry? Why can't we compete fairly and gain an advantageous position by creating value for consumers? If these problems are not understood, such incidents will continue to occur in the future. ”
"In the next stage, we will seriously prepare for the second round of trials and protect our rights and interests through legal weapons. Nako's studio has collected more evidence, and this is very direct, very strong evidence. We are confident that after the second round of trials, we will be able to win this case. ”
The reporter listened and nodded frequently. He was about to continue asking questions when he heard Yan Wenlong's mobile phone ringing.
Yan Wenlong had to temporarily interrupt the interview and picked up the phone: "Hey? Who is it? ”
On the other end of the phone, a deep voice rang: "Yan Wenlong?" I am the president of Haoyu Company, and my name is Dai Chengye. I have seen your recent statements in the media. I'm looking for you today just to reach an out-of-court settlement with you. ”
