Taobao.

Jack Ma is in a good mood today.

Although he can't compete with Zhang Ning of Penguin Technology, Ma Yun has gradually accepted this fact.

This monster is really not something that ordinary people can fight with him.

Fortunately, Jack Ma is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. When he found out that he was not Zhang Ning's opponent, Ma Yun no longer chose to compete with Zhang Ning.

"Brother Yun, the Penguin Mall is getting bigger and bigger, and the threat to us is getting bigger and bigger, what should we do?"

In the office, Lu Zhaoxi said worriedly.

It's just that Ma Yun may have been worried about this in the past, but after thinking about it, Ma Yun no longer has a headache for this matter, "Zhaoxi, Penguin Mall has developed their general trend, no matter how hard we try, we can't fight." ”

There was no trace of sigh or dissatisfaction in these words, and Ma Yun seemed very calm.

This made Lu Zhaoxi a little puzzled, "Brother Yun, aren't we competing with them?" ”

"Yes."

Ma Yun nodded directly, "Why compete with them, Zhaoxi, do you find that no, competing with them, our market has not only not been expanded, on the contrary, it has also shrunk a little." In particular, competing with penguins, our cash flow is used very quickly, and I think, if we continue to compete with them, I'm afraid we won't be able to sustain it for a year. ”

"This ......"

Lu Zhaoxi was stunned, "Yes, Taobao's funds are financed, and the financing is not particularly much." Penguin Mall, a local tyrant, is different, why didn't I think of this, if this is to fight, I'm afraid not to mention grabbing the penguin market, Taobao will be finished, it is also an unknown. ”

"However, the recent expansion of penguins is not without benefits."

Ma Yun smiled slightly, "Although our market has not expanded because of this, Penguin Mall has opened the market all of a sudden." When people talk about online shopping and e-commerce, they are no longer as unbelievable as before. It is no longer as false as before, and now many netizens, including some physical store owners, are willing to try e-commerce. This is good for the entire e-commerce environment. And, in the future, it's also good for us. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Zhaoxi also nodded, "From this point of view, I have to say that this Zhang Ning of Penguin Mall is really a genius." ”

"So, I decided that Taobao will no longer compete with Penguin Mall, we should know that the domestic e-commerce market is very large, and Penguin Mall cannot be monopolized, and he cannot monopolize it. Even if we don't compete with Penguin, we will survive in the future. ”

This is one thing that Ma Yun finally figured out for a while.

Not to be the first, to be the second, to be the third is actually not unacceptable.

Of course, this is also because of a monster like Zhang Ning, the impact on him is too huge.

It's just that what Jack Ma doesn't know is that his decision not to compete with Penguin does not mean that Penguin will give up with him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Zhaoxi hurriedly handed over an indictment from Penguin Mall to Ma Yun.

"Brother Yun, no, Penguin Mall has sued us."

"Prosecution? Penguin Mall suing us? ”

Ma Yun stood up suddenly, "What can they sue us for?" Could it be that they copied several major businesses? ”

Jack Ma thought alone.

It's just unlikely. Something on the internet, what plagiarism is there to say.

What you copy me, I copy you, it's all mixed up like this, it is impossible to have any plagiarism, and it is impossible to plagiarize like this, and it will be sued to the court. Just like Jack Ma before, although he also thinks that Penguin Mall also copied them. However, he didn't think about suing Penguin Mall, but used a more shameless method.

Although it ultimately failed, it did not mention the point of a lawsuit between the two companies.

"What are they suing us?"

"They sued us Taobao for infringing on their brand."

"When did we Taobao infringe on their brand?"

"They said that the Taobao brand was theirs."

"Damn, Taobao is a C2C brand that we have worked so hard to build, how can it be theirs."

"But, Brother Yun, they insist on saying that this is theirs."

"That's shameless, isn't it?"

Ma Yunhe slapped the table.

I thought that my methods were shameless enough, but I didn't expect that there would be even more shameless in Penguin Mall.

"Okay, we're going to have a lawsuit with them, and I'm going to see what they say we robbed them of their brand. Also, Zhaoxi, you contact the reporter, we are going to hype up this lawsuit again. I want everyone in China to know that Taobao is ours and Penguin Mall is a complete accusation. ”

It's just that Lu Zhaoxi looked nervous, looked at Ma Yun, and said with some worry, "Brother Yun, maybe, you still haven't considered it." ”

"What didn't you take into account?"

"We haven't registered the Taobao brand, we only registered Alibaba."

"Ah......h

This time, it was Ma Yun's turn to be dumbfounded.

Indeed, they did not register the Taobao brand. Moreover, when they established Taobao, they never thought about registering Taobao as a brand. After all, this is the name of the Internet's website. According to the usual practice of the Internet at that time, the name of the company was different from the name of the website. Many people don't pay too much attention to the name of the website, and they don't have any brand. Only those who do portals can be more protective of the brand of the website.

"Brother Yun, now Penguin Mall has added the Taobao brand on their secondary directory. I guess they want to take advantage of our loophole to seize our Taobao brand. ”

"Zhaoxi, then why don't you hurry up and register the Taobao brand."

"Brother Yun, the brand Taobao has long been registered by others."

"When?"

"A year ago, by the way, the person who registered the Taobao brand was the guy who didn't sell us the domain name."

"Oh, you said that guy, I remember."

Ma Yun patted his head and thought about it, "This bastard, he didn't sell us more than a million yuan back then, is this guy a rich second generation, even if it is a rich second generation, it is impossible not to have 1 million." Besides, the domain name of Taobao is not particularly good, if we are not doing Taobao this website, I am afraid that no one wants this domain name of 10,000 yuan. ”

"Yes, I just didn't expect that Penguin Mall would take advantage of this loophole at this time, sue us first. Moreover, if the lawsuit is really fought, we may not be able to win. The worst thing is that their Penguin Mall has recently seen a surge in traffic, and many people only know their Penguin Mall and don't know about our Taobao. And at this time, they played the Taobao brand, Brother Yun, I am worried that it will not be long before everyone will think that Taobao is their penguin. ”

"I know."

Jack Ma's heart is turbulent.

Revenge, this must be Zhang Ning's revenge.

He has some ghosts who regret going to Penguin Mall in the first place.

Looking at it now, not only did it not get any benefits at that time, but it provoked Zhang Ning's revenge today.

"Zhaoxi, can we still contact the guy who sells domain names now?"

"I can't get in touch, the other party has never bubbled for more than a year, and I don't know what he registered this domain name for at that time."

"Anyway, Zhaoxi, be sure to get in touch with that guy. This time, no matter how much money this guy drives, we promise him. ”

"Okay, I'll do my best to contact him."

It's a big deal, and Lu Zhaoxi can't care about it so much.

Even if it is blackmailed by that guy once, it is better than being robbed of the trademark by Penguin Mall.

"Hey, hey, big brother, are you there?"

"Big brother?"

"Hero?"

"Great God, come out."

After leaving Jack Ma's office, Lu Zhaoxi's first thing was to try to contact that guy again.

It's just that dozens of messages have been sent in a row, but they have sunk into the sea, and there is no news at all.

Alas.

It's hard to do.

Looking at this ICQ that is no longer used by many people in China, Lu Zhaoxi wanted to cry without tears.

I guess that guy has been using QQ or something for a long time, so how can he use this ICQ again. Even the mailbox that generally does not change much, the domestic Internet has changed so much in recent years, maybe he used Sina, or QQ mailbox. At this time, I don't know how to contact him.

By the way, look for the telecommunications bureau.

With a pat on the head, Lu Zhaoxi thought of a way to find the other party.

Some communication tools on the Internet are not available, so it is estimated that it will be possible to find a telecommunications bureau.

To this end, Lu Zhaoxi contacted a friend of his who worked at the telecommunications bureau.

"Old Zhao, it's troublesome."

"What's the matter?"

"Can you help me find out who owns a domain name?"

"Zhaoxi, what do you want this for. However, I sue you, and I may not be able to find out. As you know, for the development of the Internet, for domain name applications, there is no need for ID cards and no filings. It's good if the domain name you checked has been filed by him, but if it is not filed, I can't find it. ”

"It's okay, you can check it for me."

"Okay, I'll call you in half an hour."

Half an hour later, the man known as Lao Zhao called Lu Zhaoxi.

"Zhaoxi, you're lucky, you found it."

"Great, thank you Lao Zhao, next time I invite you to dinner."

"You're welcome, I'm just a gesture. It turns out that the kid who took your space domain name is a domain name investor, and he not only registered your domain name, but he also registered a lot of top-level domain names. I guess this kid is waiting for the future domain name to appreciate, and then take it out to make a good profit. ”

"Oh my god, this kid is so smart."

Lu Zhaoxi was so angry that he vomited blood, and thought to himself, could it be that this guy has not been selling, is he trying to let Taobao sell it for more money after it becomes a giant in the future?

If so, it's much easier.

Since he is a domain name investor, he must be trying to make money, as long as they Taobao give enough funds, he doesn't believe it, that guy will not be impressed.

"Alas, this guy is really smart, damn, I don't check his information, I haven't even found out how these domain names are so valuable. It's a shame that I'm still working in the telecommunications bureau, shame on me. ”

Lao Zhao's face was depressed.

"Forget it, Lao Zhao, who knows about this domain name investment. When someone needs this domain name, it is estimated to be worth some money. But if someone is not interested in your domain name, it is estimated that no one will ask for 10 yuan. In this regard, the investment cycle is so long, even if you catch these domain names, it is not necessarily when it will be realized. ”

"That's right."

Saying this, Lao Zhao no longer felt anything.

"Lao Zhao, you haven't said the other party's contact information."

"Hehe, if you don't say it, you almost forgot, you remember, 137...... This is the other party's phone number, as well as his QQ number and email address, all for you. ”

"Thank you so much."

Getting the continuous way, Lu Zhaoxi relaxed a little.

Being able to contact that guy is half the battle, and I prayed in my heart that this guy wouldn't open his mouth at that time.

However, when is it now, and what price this guy offers, they can only accept it.

"Oh yes, what's the name of the other party."

"It's called Zhang Ning."

"Zhang Ning!!"

Lu Zhaoxi screamed.
