Chapter 207: Project Venus

"ICQ was originally the world's first instant messaging software launched by Mirabilis in November 1996, and later Mirabilis was acquired by AOL, that is, AOL, and the intellectual property rights of the corresponding ICQ fell into the hands of AOL. Now AOL is sending a copy of the sample of the indictment, which says that if Thunder Online can't solve the problem of QICQ within three days, oh yes, the problem of QICQ is that it involves the infringement of ICQ's trademark rights, which is AOL's globally registered trademark. "

Mei Yutao said like a few treasures, so that Yu Jun, who did not know much about the history of ICQ in his previous life, listened to it with relish.

"Since the advent of ICQ, an instant messaging software, instant messaging software has become the most closely connected software in the software industry and the Internet industry......

Luo Fei said, Wei Jing interrupted him: "Luo Yuan should know that AOL is talking about a merger with Time Warner, they intend to enter the Chinese market, and they will get rid of Li Ghost in advance, so that Li Kui can take the stage, and they want to attract the attention of the media, which is equivalent to helping them do publicity for free." "

"There are a lot of instant messaging software like QICQ in China, why do you add three English characters of ICQ when naming, naturally I want to borrow the reputation of ICQ." Luo Yuan frowned and said, "AOL wants to be solved online by Thunder, I don't know how to solve it to make them satisfied." "

Less than half a month after QICQ's acquisition, such a disturbing thing happened, and Luo Yuan couldn't laugh no matter how charming she was. After receiving the template of the indictment, she immediately reported the matter to Wei Jing, Wei Jing transferred to the legal department, and Mei Yutao hesitated before calling Yu Jun.

"SICQ, YICQ, etc., instant messaging software under the name of ICQ are flooded, but QICQ is the most user, after Luo Fei's number of jù library docking work, now the number of users of QICQ has exceeded 500,000, and the number of online users has exceeded 50,000, and it will soon reach the maturity period, do you want to give up completely?" Wei Jing's brows furrowed, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in her calm tone.

Although the name of ICQ is borrowed, the core of QICQ is not much related to ICQ, and AOL's engineers will not fail to see that such a method is nothing more than AOL's strategic considerations.

In fact, since Microsoft began to enter the Internet, ICQ has gradually declined under the pressure of MSN's step-by-step progress, and no one around him uses this software until Yu Jun's rebirth.

"Yu Tao, you test AOL's intentions first, I think they just want to build momentum, then let's cooperate and open up the popularity of QICQ by the way. Luo Yuan, you let Thunder Online tomorrow's homepage news hang AOL to demolish Thunder Online, hype, hum, who wouldn't. "

Yu Jun sneered and said: "In my opinion, the worst thing is to change your name, if you want to lose money or something, AOL will dream, the lawsuit is fought in China, and there is time to boil slowly." "

Wei Jing nodded slightly, agreeing with Yu Jun's opinion, but still added: "Assistant Luo, you let the person in charge of the QICQ project at Thunder Online come up with a few new names, so it's good to panic when the time comes." "

"Let's do this first, Mr. Wei, you stay for a while."

After everyone came out of the conference room, Yu Jun asked, "Sister Wei, you went to the capital for a meeting because it has something to do with Microsoft, right?" "

"Well, it's a Venus plan that Microsoft is going to do, and it started to warm up in March, and I think you've heard it, mainly to make a set-top box or an upgraded version of the VCD machine, and then use such a device to access the Internet and install Microsoft's Windows CE system, with a total investment of more than billions of dollars, and the price is only one-fifth of that of a home computer, what do you think?" Wei Jing said.

"Microsoft is burning too much money, and the likelihood of success is almost negligible if this kind of thing is divorced from reality." Yu Jun smiled and said, "This first involves the most critical one, that is, the integration of the three networks, the three networks refer to the cable television network, the telecommunications network and the computer network, China is not the United States, some people have mentioned the integration of the three networks, but it is extremely difficult." "

"Tell me about the difficulty." Wei Jing crossed her arms and stared at Yu Jun and said.

"The cable television network is under the management of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the telecommunications network is under the management of the Ministry of Information Industry. Yu Jun said with a smile, "Their respective territories have to be put together into a big pie, and it is difficult to say how to divide them, and all aspects must be taken into account." That's not all......"

"Oh?" Wei Jing guessed the things at this level, and Yu Jun still had things she didn't guess.

"It's a matter of price, VCD machine after the first two years of the machine war, has now dropped to a few hundred yuan a piece, began to become an ordinary product of household appliances, and home computers are still considered luxury, which can not but say that Microsoft has made efforts in pricing. However, even if it is more than a thousand yuan, it is a large expense for ordinary families in China, and in the concept of Chinese, VCD is VCD, and computers are computers, how can they be confused? "

"What's more, the concept of the Internet is still slowly popularizing, Microsoft wants to pull out the seedlings to help grow, most of the people who can know the Internet are elites, this group of people either choose to consume in Internet cafes, or surf the Internet at home, who will buy a chicken rib top box?"

Wei Jing nodded, listening to Yu Jun continue to speak.

"There is also an extremely important key point, that is, the Ministry of Information Industry intends to support domestic telecommunications equipment manufacturers, that is, the so-called 'huge China', ZTE, Huawei will not talk about it, these are two private enterprises, and Julong, Datang are state-owned enterprises, now these telecommunications equipment manufacturers are still too weak, do not have the development of independent intellectual property rights of the triple play products, to give such a huge market to Ericsson those enterprises, there are still people unwilling."

As soon as Wei Jing wanted to speak, Yu Jun said: "This is not the end, Microsoft is going to the field of home appliances across borders, and China's home appliance field is so easy to deal with?" Changhong and TCL can watch Microsoft cross over and not react? At least in terms of channels, they will not support, and I heard from Mr. Lian of Yuhui Household Appliances that Microsoft had approached them, but he did not agree because he felt unprofitable. "

"Listen to your analysis, there are so many reasons, if the Venus Project wants to succeed, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky." Wei Jing's cold expression also showed a trace of regret, after all, in terms of momentum, Microsoft is worthy of respect.

"Except for the Venus Project, you stayed in the capital for seven days, and there is no other news?"

"The Ministry of Information Industry still intends to popularize the Internet, in my opinion, at most until next year, the key costs of household access to the Internet, such as Internet bills and telephone bills, will be reduced, and a rough calculation, the hourly computer fee may be reduced to six to eight yuan."

This is something that can be expected, after one more year and more than 10 billion profits, Yu Jun is satisfied.

"But it's not all bad news, according to the Institute of Information Industry, the number of people online will triple this year to 5 million, which is more optimistic than the predictions made by our research center." Wei Jing was still expressionless when she said the good news.

"You can speed up the pace, then expand by three times, and if you calculate it, the number of cameras will reach ...... by the end of the year" Yu Jun was still calculating in his mind, and Wei Jing said calmly: "More than 720,000 units." "

"Well, if there are 700,000 units, the number of machines will be lowered to six yuan next year, and the monthly net profit can still be guaranteed to be in ......"

"1.5 billion." Wei Jing said calmly, "This is still not considered on the basis of optimizing costs after scale." "

Yu Jun looked at Wei Jing speechlessly, I really want to ask, your brain may not be too good.

"I'll go home first, and when Mei Yutao has news, you can call me again."

Wei Jing nodded, and after watching Yu Jun walk out of the conference room, she pursed her lips and turned around and walked back to the office.

……

Liushui is farther south than Yunguang, standing outside the villa bought by Lin Shurong, Yu Jun and Sun Yuhao are less than five minutes, they are the same as taking a sauna, the weather in Lingxi is a little strange, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, June and September are often the hottest times, and the real sun is shining, the actual temperature is frighteningly high in July and August, but it is not so hot.

Some people have said that it is a problem of the body's adaptability, but Yu Jun thinks that it is all a problem of feng shui, not a problem of temperature anyway.

"My godmother doesn't answer her phone, and no one is at home, so she hangs us outside the door?" Sun Yu's hazy neck was dripping with beads of sweat, she wiped it and said with a wry smile.

"Let's go to the car and wait, if we really stand for a while, I'm still afraid of heat stroke." Yu Jun scratched his head and said.

As soon as he got into the car, his mobile phone beeped, and he let Qin Xue play with his mobile phone yesterday, who knows if it will make this ringtone, and I don't know if she is calling randomly.

"Hello?" Yu Jun started the car and turned on the air conditioner, which was really hot like a steamer.

If you want to take a white cloth to cover it, this is a male and a female two meat stuffed buns.

"AOL has agreed to our agreement, and as long as we change our name, we will be able to sign a settlement immediately." Mei Yutao said in a flat tone.

"What about the name that Luo Yuan has proposed? Is it on your hand? Read it to me. Yu Jun said.

"Well, there are three of them here, they are Yuanyuan......"

Yu Jun almost laughed out loud, is this a slap on Luo Yuan's ass?

"Feifei ......"

"Haha!"

Yu Jun was so happy that he couldn't straighten up on the seat, and Xie Qingtong looked in the rearview mirror, as if he didn't see it.

Sun Yuhao looked at him with a puzzled face, thinking to himself what was so happy?

Mei Yutao continued after Jun finished laughing: "There is another one, it is called QQ, and Jun Shao means ......"

"QQ?" Yu Jun smiled meaningfully, and came back after going around for a long time, "Just QQ, it's still round, that's the name of the giant panda, Luo Yuan is really embarrassed to report it." "

Mei Yutao couldn't say anything about Luo Yuan, who was at the same level as him, so he hung up the phone after laughing twice.

Yu Jun was about to talk to Sun Yuhao about what happened just now, when the window of the car was dark, he turned his head to look, and saw Zhuang Jingyuan standing next to the car, and hurriedly pushed the door and got out of the car: "Uncle Zhuang." "
