Chapter 127: Fattening and Killing Ultimate
Tuesday, June 2. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
10 days after Michael Jackson's concert in Shanghai.
The second trading day after Jiang Gongzi sucked enough chips - because there was a weekend in between, and Jiang Gongzi only sucked enough chips to pull enough chips last Friday.
There are still 5 days left before Michael Jackson's second stop concert in China.
There are still 16 days and 12 valid trading days before the reopening of the 618 IPO of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Bend the bow and coil the horse, and the arrow is on the string.
Tense at all times, kill at any time.
This morning, Jiang Gongzi, who is used to sleeping lazily, was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone.
He had several cell phones, several of which he knew with a little more people, and they were all turned off when he slept. Only a mobile phone for emergency contact that not many people know about will be on all the time.
The boredom of being woken up made his anger a little off-the-beaten. When it became clear that the call was made by one of his subordinates, the mood was even worse.
"If there's a fart, let it go!" Jiang Gongzi unceremoniously yelled at the staff.
"Young Master, World of Warcraft is suspended!" The staff was cautious and told the bad news.
"What?"
"Hatsune Entertainment's fist product, World of Warcraft has been discontinued!"
"Why? You'll only say half of what you say! Jiang Gongzi was crazy for a while, and he was completely sober. For the half-spoken behavior of the staff, he almost wanted to denounce it to the death.
"That's right, the Chinese version of the Warcraft Time national service uses the font of the Founder Group, but it has never been officially authorized. It is said that Founder had contact with Hatsune Entertainment in 07, but it didn't work out at that time, and Founder didn't dare to make trouble.
Now it should be released into the water to raise fish for fattening, so it jumped out and formally sued. Not only demanded compensation of 1 billion yuan for damages, but also demanded that Hatsune Entertainment and Activision Blizzard immediately 'stop the infringement'. No more World of Warcraft versions with square fonts may be used until authorization has been granted. ”
Jiang Gongzi was stunned when he heard it.
"And then? Gu Mojie agreed? Really let Warcraft stop serving? ”
Do you want to be so cheating? When a game is sued, just obediently stop the service and wait for the authorization result? Is this a joke? There must be pubic hair!
"Could it be that they want to suppress the stock price of Hatsune Entertainment, create panic among small non-shareholder shareholders, and lead to concentrated selling at the high price of the stock price?"
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Gongzi's blood rushed to his brain.
"I want to know all the details, the cause and effect! You've got it all for me right now! Jiang Gongzi's last sentence was almost yelled at the mobile phone.
"Yes, yes, the specific links and information have been sent to your mailbox, you can log in and take a look."
Jiang Gongzi immediately hung up the phone, stopped talking nonsense with the staff, and then quickly turned on the computer and logged in to the mailbox.
……
"The online game World of Warcraft currently has more than 30 million registered paying users in China. Although it is widely popular with players, it has recently encountered the biggest crisis: the developers and agents of the online game "World of Warcraft" were sued by Founder Electronics for the unauthorized use of Founder fonts, with a claim amount of up to 1 billion yuan.
The response of the mainland agent, Hatsune Entertainment, was, "We are conducting internal discussions and studying and responding to the case with legal counsel." Since the prosecution proposed a litigation preservation measure to stop the infringement, which was accepted by the court accepting the application, Hatsune Entertainment actively responded to the court's request to suspend the game before revising the game and replacing it with other authorized fonts. ’
Beijing Peking University Founder Electronics Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Founder Group, said that the Chinese version of the online game "World of Warcraft", developed by Blizzard Entertainment Co., Ltd. of the United States and exclusively represented by Hatsune Entertainment Co., Ltd. in mainland China, copied and used a large number of five Founder fonts, including the company's independent research and development, compilation and collection of 'Founder Fonts' Zhongzheng Northern Wei Kaishu, Founder Paper Cutting, and Founder Fine Black One.
Founder Electronics claimed that because of the infringement of Blizzard in the United States, Founder Electronics lost more than 1 billion yuan in revenue, so it sued the two companies to the Qianjiang Provincial High People's Court, and claimed as much as 1 billion yuan for infringement of intellectual property rights.
This is also the first intellectual property case in the IT industry accepted by a Chinese court this year, and it is also one of the largest intellectual property cases in which a Chinese company has made a claim against a foreign company for intellectual property infringement since China's accession to the WTO. On June 2, Qiantang Hatsune Entertainment issued a brief statement on the case, saying that "since this case has entered the judicial process, we should not comment too much" ......
Jiang Gongzi read it tremblingly, so he was so angry that he was angry.
Nima is a pen!
Peking University Founder was about to sue Hatsune Entertainment, but he would go to Qiantang to sue?
Are there Internet companies in Zhongguancun, Xushen City, or Qiantang that leave the Beijing High Court and go to fight away?
This is clearly a double reed!
Jiang Gongzi didn't know that the historical Founder's "releasing water to raise fish for fattening and then killing" case did not drag on to 2009, but was prosecuted on June 18, 2007. At that time, the claim amount was RMB 100 million.
Historically, on October 18, 2009, Founder once again added the subject matter of the lawsuit, increasing the amount of the claim from 100 million to 408 million yuan - the reason for the additional lawsuit is because at that point in history, the agency of Warcraft has changed from the relatively poor ninety percent to the more wealthy NetEase Ding Sanshi.
Fangzheng's original intention was to negotiate first and send a lawyer's letter: "Hey! You're infringing! You used the font from Founder's font! ”
However, after sending the letter, he was not in a hurry to file a lawsuit, but released water to raise fish - the size of the "infringed interests" is related to the popularity and income of the online game itself.
The reason why the historical founder chose to do it in June 07 is because at that point in time, it was Jiucheng and Blizzard who talked about the delay in the agency contract for the upgraded version of Warcraft 2.0 "Burning Crusade". There is a possibility that there may be problems with the subsequent upgrade of Warcraft, and the market share and subsequent sales may decline.
Therefore, of course, Founder will slaughter the fat sheep at the hottest time when the game of infringing on its rights is sold - if it is raised, the feed will be cut off, and the sheep will lose fat.
However, this did not happen on this plane.
At that time, the 2.0 negotiations between Jiucheng and Blizzard were not discussed for a few months before they were cut off by Hatsune Entertainment. Then it reopened in May of that year, and it was even more popular than before.
As a result, the Peking University Founder of this time and space, seeing that the fat sheep in the sheepfold had sufficient feed, naturally did not rush to go under the knife, and the lawsuit that should have happened in 07 ended with a warning lawyer's letter, and it died down for two years
At that time, there were also some half-assed people who claimed to understand the law, the kind that supported Warcraft, saying that Fang Zheng was shameless, regardless of the statute of limitations: since it was an infringement a long time ago, why didn't you sue at that time? Why should someone else sue after making a lot of money?
However, this accusation is legally untenable, because "World of Warcraft Chinese version uses Founder font" is a continuous act, so as long as the infringement occurs, it is a continuous infringement.
In the case of a continuing sexual assault, the statute of limitations does not apply if the lawsuit is filed within two years of the eventual end of the violation. So as long as Warcraft continues to use the Founder font, Founder can keep raising sheep until the fattest peak moment.
In this sense, although Founder is despicable, it is the legitimate despicability of a businessman. To put it another way, American companies are also in the same position in this matter.
……
There is an iron rule with the highest priority in the jurisdiction of civil infringement cases, which is called "jurisdiction of the court where the infringement occurs", and the court will accept the infringement wherever it occurs.
This article has a higher priority than ordinary plaintiffs and defendants.
However, in Internet infringement cases, because the infringement occurs on the Internet, it is impossible to determine a physical infringement address, so in many cases, multiple jurisdictional principles have penetrated. And it involves intellectual property, and you can't find fault in the capital.
Historically, Fang was sued in the capital-high court. Zhongguancun's company, suing in the capital, can be described as a home battle, and any off-board resources can be used.
Now, he has gone to Qiantang.
Jiang Gongzi was so angry about Fang Zheng's coercive behavior that he ordered his staff to immediately investigate the detailed reasons.
Soon, all kinds of red envelopes were stuffed down, and it didn't take much effort to figure it out.
The court in Qiantang took the initiative to contact Founder secretly, expressing its willingness to accept the "litigation preservation measures of ordering Hatsune Entertainment to suspend Warcraft before the authorization was implemented".
This is a condition that the prosecution Fang Fang himself did not dare to think of. Even staying at home in the capital to sue is a condition that can't be done.
Hatsune Entertainment simply took the initiative to give up resistance!
You bargain for one dollar, and he pays him two dollars! The higher and higher!
Don't care how Jiang Gongzi found out about these inside information, anyway, this is the truth.
He even found out that it was Hatsune's legal counsel, Fei Liluo, who personally went to the provincial high court to say hello. Let them be as ruthless as they should, without saving face for Hatsune.
It's a shak in the legal world.
"Young Master, Hatsune Entertainment's stock price has loosened today! A lot of sell-offs have been dropped, and it is estimated that there are 30 or 40 million shares. ”
"Hold it off for me! Don't we still have five or six billion dollars! What can be borrowed and can be financed is helping me prepare a little, and I want to make sure that even if there are 200 million shares in the sell-off...... Oh, it's not 300 million shares, you can continue to resist! ”
After explaining this, Jiang Gongzi was like a trapped beast, pacing around the room, "I don't believe that Gu Mojie dares to even want control of the company, just play with me!" ”
"Yes, young master, I'll do it right away." The staff agreed to be neat, while directing the fund tray to ensure that all orders have a tray - it can fall a little, but it cannot be sealed on the fall limit, and it is necessary to leave some confidence in the market.
On the other hand, immediately use all your energy to find other channels to borrow money again.
The leverage ratio has been used to the maximum, overseas financing is getting tighter and tighter, and supervision at all levels is getting more and more stuck, and there is really no way.
Within a day, tens of millions of shares were traded at a high level of more than 60 yuan, and it seems that Hatsune Entertainment has withstood the confidence blow brought by this wave of offensive. (To be continued.) )
