Chapter 967: Battle of the Giants 3
"Xiaotian, I can't figure it out, what are you trying to do with so much effort?" Gao Yang said helplessly, "Help those rice guys, but people still don't appreciate it, it really makes me depressed." ”
It took a lot of talk today, and it was easy to say that the two of them were a little moved, but they didn't make a final decision, saying that they would ask for instructions from their superiors when they went back, and then give Gao Yang's first officer.
However, what made Gao Yang depressed was that when the two of them were leaving, they actually asked Gao Yang why he was willing to take the initiative to help them, obviously doubting Gao Yang's motives.
IF HE WAS JUST A BROKER, HE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE SUCH A BIG EFFORT TO KEEP GOOGLE IN CHINA.
Gao Yang could only prevaricate on the pretext that he helped with public relations to solve the problem, of course, to charge a fee, and then sent the two Mi Guokees away.
"HEHE, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE WHETHER GOOGLE CAN STAY IN CHINA." WU TIAN SAID WITH A SMILE, "DO YOU KNOW THAT AMONG THE MAJOR INTERNATIONAL NETWORK COMPANIES, ONLY GOOGLE HAS ENTERED THE COUNTRY?" Like Facebook and YouTube, they have not entered the country, what is the reason? Admittedly, there is an intention to protect local companies, and there are also reasons for the news blockade, but what is the result? It is to make China's network a closed local area network, what else to talk about in line with the world? What else is there to talk about progress and openness? IF GOOGLE IS ALSO DRIVEN OUT OF CHINA, THEN THIS LAST WINDOW TO THE WORLD WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED, AND IT WILL BE A DIFFICULT SITUATION TO OPEN THE GAP AGAIN......"
In fact, Wu Tian believes that China is far behind the world level in many aspects, and the only way to improve itself quickly is to open up! Fang Lao had already pointed out this back then, so the economy has opened up, and China's economic development is rapidly catching up with the pace of the world, but speech, culture, etc., are still in the midst of many blockades.
This problem, which has been talked about at a certain level, is becoming a shackle that drags down China's progress, so if China wants to continue to develop and move forward, it can only be opened up in this regard.
ALTHOUGH GOOGLE IS NOT DOING AS WELL AS IT SHOULD IN SOME ASPECTS, AS WU TIAN SAID, THIS IS A WINDOW FOR CHINA TO ESTABLISH DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE WORLD, AND HIS EXISTENCE MAY NOT BE OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE, BUT ONCE THIS WINDOW IS CLOSED, THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE UNIMAGINABLE.
WITH GOOGLE, THE OTHER INTERNET COMPANIES MAY ENTER CHINA, AND THE WINDOW IS LIKELY TO EXPAND INTO A DOOR, AND ONCE THE WINDOW IS CLOSED, WHO WILL BOTHER TO CHISEL A NEW DOOR?
THEREFORE, EVEN IF HE DOESN'T CONSIDER THE ISSUE OF MONEY, WU TIAN IS ABSOLUTELY UNWILLING TO WITHDRAW GOOGLE FROM CHINA, AND HE CAN'T ACCEPT THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL COMPLETELY CLOSE THIS WINDOW FOR PERSONAL GAIN!
**********************************************************************************************************
AFTER CONTACTING THE MI HEADQUARTERS, STONE FINALLY DECIDED TO COOPERATE WITH GAOYANG - BUT THIS IS ONLY AN EXPERIMENT, IF THE FINAL ATTEMPT FAILS, HE CAN TERMINATE THE COOPERATION AT ANY TIME AND WITHDRAW GOOGLE FROM CHINA!
Gao Yang is a little resentful, after being a broker for so many years, when is it not that others are begging to do things for themselves, but this time he has some posture of begging others to let him help in a low voice?
FORTUNATELY, WU TIAN WAS COMFORTED BY GOOD WORDS, AND GAO YANG HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PINCH HIS NOSE AND AGREE TO GOOGLE'S COOPERATION PLAN, THAT IS, TO TRY TO RESTORE GOOGLE'S NORMAL OPERATION WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME, THAT IS, IT COULD NO LONGER BE INVESTIGATED AND INSPECTED BY SO MANY OFFICIAL DEPARTMENTS OF CHINA ALL DAY LONG.
For Gao Yang, this is not a matter at all, it is nothing more than those small grassroots yamen in the place where they come forward to embarrass others, just a few phone calls, so that those small leaders who are responsible for operating this matter have paused their hands and feet - according to the rules, those small yamen have always been who can command the role, if the two bigwigs fight, if the strength of the two sides is not equal, they will obviously tend to the stronger side, and if the strength of the two is equal, then they will temporarily stop acting, Especially those unwarranted reporting actions, and then wait for the results of the two bigwigs.
This is the rule of the circle of young people, and naturally no one will embarrass them at the grassroots level. Therefore, as soon as Gao Yang's identity was clearly involved in this matter, those grassroots units immediately withdrew their hands and told the other side the news, only when everything returned to normal.
However, those who know the inside story can guess that this time they are only afraid that something big will happen, and they are all looking forward to the next action to open their eyes......
However, what made those people a little helpless was that the other side did not immediately launch a counterattack.
THAT MR. LI CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN HE HAD SET UP UNHURRIEDLY, SO THAT THE COPYRIGHT ASSOCIATION HELD ON TO GOOGLE, AND EVEN OFFICIALLY FILED A LAWSUIT.
That's a problem.
ALTHOUGH THE COPYRIGHT ISSUE IS NOT A BIG DEAL IN CHINA, IT IS A VERY SERIOUS CASE ABROAD, AND ONCE THE SITUATION IS SPREAD, IT IS AFRAID THAT IT WILL AFFECT GOOGLE'S REPUTATION, WHICH IS NOT A SITUATION THAT THE COMPANY'S TOP MANAGEMENT AND A GROUP OF BIGWIGS ARE WILLING TO FACE.
"Gao, we're not happy with your work!" Stone shouted to Gao Yang, "If we follow our plan, your government will definitely meet the conditions we set in order to keep us, and there will definitely be no court accepting their unreasonable accusations!" ”
"Mr. Stone, I would like to ask, is there any suspicion of infringement and piracy in your behavior?" Gao Yang said without being salty.
"Uh...... We don't admit it's piracy! Stone shouted with little confidence.
For such large companies, they are accustomed to interpreting the law in their own way, and with their deep financial strength and hiring a strong team of lawyers, they can almost distort the law and distort common sense. In such a situation, how could they admit to piracy?
Gao Yang sneered and said, "What I want to tell you is that this is China, and the role of lawyers is not as great as that of the United States." ”
Stone was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "I knew that you had a problem, and you were also cheating us!" We're going to stop the cooperation! ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you feel that you can win this lawsuit on your own." Gao Yang said.
Stone was suddenly a little uncertain......
**********************************************************************************************************
WU TIAN LOOKED AT A DOSSIER, WHICH WAS A COPY OF GOOGLE'S INFRINGEMENT FILE FILED BY THE COPYRIGHT ASSOCIATION.
THE EVIDENCE OF GOOGLE'S INFRINGEMENT IS CLEAR, FIRST OF ALL, GOOGLE'S WEBSITE HAS THE CONTENT THEY SCAN, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE AUTHOR. As long as the author or publisher can prove the copyright, it is equivalent to the conclusive evidence.
BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT CHINA'S LAWS IN THIS AREA ARE NOT VERY SOUND, AND THE ISSUE OF ONLINE COPYRIGHT IS NOT CLEAR, AND GOOGLE HAS ROOM FOR DEBATE.
THEREFORE, THIS LAWSUIT WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE LOST, WHICH IS ALSO THE CONFIDENCE OF GOOGLE TO LAUNCH THIS SENSITIVE PROJECT IN CHINA AFTER THE COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT WAS JUST BORNE BY THE COUNTRY, AND THEY HAVE BEEN THINKING FOR A LONG TIME THAT ONCE THE AUTHOR IS NOT SATISFIED, THEY CAN FIND A LAWYER TO FIGHT A LAWSUIT, EVEN IF IT IS DELAYED, IT CAN DRAG THOSE AUTHORS WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO AUTOMATICALLY GIVE UP THE INVESTIGATION.
HOWEVER, GOOGLE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T EXPECT THAT THIS MATTER WOULD BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY SOMEONE WITH A HEART. IF YOU GO TO COURT, YOU HAVE THE SAME FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ACCOMPANY YOU, AND YOU HAVE A WIDER NETWORK OF CONTACTS IN THIS COUNTRY, WHICH IS AN ADVANTAGE THAT GOOGLE DOES NOT HAVE, AND EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY SEEMS TO HAVE TO BE "RELATED" TO DO IT WELL!
IT CAN BE SAID THAT IF NOTHING ELSE, GOOGLE WILL DEFINITELY LOSE THE LAWSUIT THIS TIME!
"Actually, this matter is very easy to solve." Gao Yang said lightly, "You can sign a licensing agreement with the author, so that the author can authorize the original version of the book to you, and you can also charge the viewer at that time, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
"Impossible!" Stone immediately gave way, "Our wish is to set up an online library, which allows anyone to see all kinds of books for free, which is a great feedback from our company to netizens, a public welfare undertaking, and a ......."
"It's to do your own evil deeds at the expense of others, right?" Gao Yang pouted and said.
"Uh...... You can't say that! Stone was familiar with the project and opened his mouth to say, "For example, if a book in a library reads a book, does the library have to pay the author every time a reader reads the book?" Apparently not, the library can only buy the book and lend it to someone else to read. We're the same, we've only scanned the Internet after we bought the book, and the author has already received our payment! ”
"Put this set away for me!" Gao Yang waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you are interested in fighting a lawsuit, then go and fight!" Don't blame me for not reminding me, your quibbles may be of some use in the United States, but here, if you say that you are a pirate, you are a pirate, and any quibbles are useless! ”
"You can't do this, I'm going to protest!" Stone gave way.
"Go out to the east, Sanlitun, go!" Gao Yang said impatiently, "Hmph, for your own good, I will give you an idea, and you still don't listen?" Then you can toss it casually, Lao Tzu won't serve anymore! ”
Stone was a little dumbfounded, but at the beginning, wasn't this very polite and diligent person who wanted to help him? And he is really capable, and all kinds of inspections that have caused the company a headache for a long time were solved as soon as he came forward. This also gave Sitong a lot of confidence in solving this trouble.
But who would have thought that this person would have such a big temper, and he would pick on him before he rejected his suggestion now? How does this work? After the bigwigs of the head office heard that the first thing was solved, they all looked forward to further cooperation......
**********************************************************************************************************
"The problem of piracy is not a problem that can be easily solved in terms of the current situation in China. Not to mention anything else, on the side of the Film and Television Anti-Piracy Alliance, how long has it been working, isn't there still no way to solve those pirated video websites? Wu Tian said to Gao Yang with a smile, "And book piracy is cheaper than movie piracy, after all, movie piracy still needs film sources and larger servers, while book piracy can be done as long as it is a slightly larger network space." In addition, even if they are caught, these pirated websites will be locked up for a few days, fined for electricity, and even if those guys come out, they will be able to start a new website again tomorrow. ”
Wu Tian shook his head and sighed, and said: "However, even so, book piracy must be strictly controlled, and the bottom line of this problem is that those large companies and large-scale companies must not participate, otherwise this is not a pirate, but a blatant one!" Only by putting an end to these big companies first, cracking down on piracy to the point that they can only hide underground, and when they have the ability in the future, can they be cleaned up! ”
"Don't tell me your worries about the country and the people, I'm annoyed to death by those two Mi guys." Gao Yang said, "Why don't you come, I really don't want to deal with them." ”
"Hehe, insist on it again, it's not good for me to come forward directly in this matter, and even you are not suitable to come forward directly." WU TIAN SMILED AND SAID, "BUT IF I GUESS WRONG, GOOGLE WILL SOON CHANGE ITS ATTITUDE, AND THEN IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO MAKE THEM NOD THEIR HEADS, HEHE." ”
"Cut, who's rare." Gao Yang pouted and said.
"Alright, let's wait and see what Stone does." Gao Yang smiled disapprehantly, "If I'm not mistaken, they will agree to this plan." ”
In fact, there is nothing difficult to understand about this plan, it is nothing more than to turn the free library into a fee-based library, once the fee is charged, the author will make money at that time, what are they not satisfied with? UNLESS THE HEAD IS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR, IT WILL CONTINUE TO OPPOSE GOOGLE'S PROJECT TO BUILD AN ONLINE LIBRARY.
Of course, if someone really makes trouble in the future, this plan may not be easy to use, but if the other party really dares to do that, Wu Tian doesn't mind using some extraordinary means at all......
