Chapter 965: Battle of the Giants 1
In the early morning, although it is already early autumn weather, but when the leaves of the back mountain have not yet fallen, the sun shines on Wu Tian through the gaps between the branches and leaves, which is warm and different from the summer burning, which makes people very comfortable.
The breakfast was not rich, only soy milk fritters, plus a tea egg, but Wu Tian ate it very well.
HOWEVER, AFTER EATING BREAKFAST, HE LOST HIS APPETITE, SIMPLY DROPPED HIS CHOPSTICKS, AND INTENTLY READ A NEWSPAPER REPORT - THE CHINA COPYRIGHT ASSOCIATION NEGOTIATED WITH GOOGLE ON BEHALF OF SOME AUTHORS BECAUSE OF THE INFRINGEMENT OF AUTHORS' COPYRIGHTS BY GOOGLE'S "DIGITAL LIBRARY", BUT IN THE END NO RESULT WAS ......
Wu Tian was a little angry, this is Du Niang's side starting to make trouble.
Although Wu Tian is a fighter for copyright protection, it can be said that he has made great contributions to China's copyright cause from dealing with pirated CDs earlier to organizing associations for online video copyright in the past few years. THEREFORE, WU TIAN DOES NOT THINK THAT GOOGLE'S DIGITAL LIBRARY IS REASONABLE TO SCAN AND INCLUDE WORKS WITHOUT PERMISSION, WHICH IS DEFINITELY INFRINGEMENT!
However, the question is, how many websites in China are doing the same thing now? Even Du Niang herself has a similar library, why doesn't anyone go to Du Niang's trouble?
It is not right to infringe copyright, but it is even more intolerable if this matter is used by others as a reason for attack! This is simply that only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps!
"Yangzi, you can help me find out, what kind of thing is the China Copyright Society, and who else is in charge." Wu Tian picked up the phone and ordered Gao Yang.
Waiting for Gao Yang to come down, Wu Tian put down the newspaper, and calmly finished his breakfast, thinking while eating, the other party used this topic to start a battle, so what means will follow-up follow?
ACCORDING TO WU TIAN'S MEMORY, THERE ARE TWO MAJOR REASONS FOR GOOGLE'S EVACUATION OF CHINA, ONE IS THAT GOOGLE'S SERVERS ARE FREQUENTLY ATTACKED BY HACKERS, AND GOOGLE ACCUSES CHINA OF NOT PROTECTING THEM, WHICH MAKES THEM UNABLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY. Another reason is that according to Chinese law, Internet companies have the responsibility to conduct self-inspection and self-examination to ensure that their content complies with the relevant Chinese legal restrictions. HOWEVER, GOOGLE AGREED TO THIS REQUEST WHEN IT ENTERED CHINA, BUT THIS YEAR IT UNCHARACTERISTICALLY SAID THAT IT WOULD NOT CONDUCT SELF-INSPECTION AND SELF-EXAMINATION OF ITS SEARCH RESULTS, WHICH IS A DELIBERATE VIOLATION OF CHINESE LAW.
In fact, Wu Tian believes that there is nothing wrong with the so-called self-inspection and self-inspection requirements of Internet companies, after all, the actual situation in China requires that Internet searches must be restricted. For example, search engines can't just receive ******** or something, which is not very demanding.
HOWEVER, GOOGLE'S ATTITUDE IS QUITE TOUGH, PERHAPS TRYING TO USE THIS TO TRY TO GET THE CHINESE SIDE TO GIVE THEM MORE LENIENT CONDITIONS, OR BETTER PROTECTION, BUT THEY DON'T WANT THE CHINESE SIDE TO END UP WITH THEM AT ALL, AND FINALLY THEY CAN ONLY LEAVE IN DISGRACE......
FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART, WU TIAN DOESN'T THINK THAT GOOGLE IS A GOOD COMPANY, ANY CAPITAL COMPANY, THE BIGGEST GOAL IS ITS OWN INTERESTS, THEY ARE NOT SAINTS. BUT FOR SOME OF GOOGLE'S BEHAVIORS, WU TIAN THINKS THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE SOLVED THROUGH COMMUNICATION, BUT BECAUSE OF THE DELIBERATE SUPPORT OF SOME PEOPLE, THE CONTRADICTION IS NOT RECONCILED IN THE END......
"Xiaotian, I found out, the copyright society is a social group under the Publishing Administration, and there are some writers and publishers who participate in it." Gao Yang quickly called Wu Tian back, "The current person in charge is surnamed Zhou, and he is a vice president and secretary general, and he is basically in charge of everything over there." ”
"Well, find out where he is connected?" Wu Tian asked.
"Not really." Gao Yang said, "His level is too low, even if he has a connection with any side, I'm afraid it will be separated by several layers." ”
"Okay, let's leave it at that." Wu Tian said.
It is clear that this is just the beginning, and it is not even the main course. YOU MUST KNOW THAT ALL COPYRIGHT LAWSUITS ARE DIFFICULT TO FIGHT IN CHINA, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE OTHER PARTY IS STILL A GIANT LIKE GOOGLE? How can the little authors be the opponents of others? You must know that a lawsuit is very expensive!
On the other hand, copyright infringement does not necessarily cause much economic loss, and naturally it will not receive relevant attention, and it is even more difficult to win the lawsuit.
Even if a lawsuit really starts, not to mention the outcome or defeat, the entire interrogation process is afraid that it will have to start in half a year, or even delay for several years, which is not in line with Du Niang's plans and expectations.
Therefore, this so-called copyright dispute will not continue to make much trouble, the key issue is still to come, and Wu Tian does not want to focus on this issue.
SURE ENOUGH, THE COPYRIGHT DISPUTE HERE HAS JUST BEEN HYPED UP, AND IT HAS JUST COOLED DOWN A BIT, BUT GOOGLE'S WEBSITE WAS SUDDENLY HACKED, CAUSING GOOGLE TO BE FORCED TO SHUT DOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
THIS IS LIKE THROWING MERCURY IN THE OIL POT, IT EXPLODED ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND THERE IS A HOT DISCUSSION ON THE INTERNET, WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT GOOGLE IS A COMPANY WITH HUGE TECHNICAL STRENGTH, BUT THEIR WEBSITE WILL ALSO BE BREACHED, IS THIS SAYING THAT HACKERS ARE TOO POWERFUL, OR IS GOOGLE PURELY A SHOWMAN, THERE IS NO ABILITY AT ALL, AND EVEN A HACKER CAN'T WITHSTAND IT, HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE HIS LEVEL?
"Xiaotian, it can be determined that almost all of the company is from China this time, and basically they are using broilers to attack, causing the GOOGEL server to block and crash.
"Hmm, can you directly find out the attacker's address?" Wu Tian asked Jiang Weixing.
"At present, it is unlikely, all the broilers are from China, and the number is countless, there is no conclusive evidence, who are you going to arrest?" Jiang Weixing said.
Wu Tian was a little deflated, and he also knew that the difficulty of this matter was not ordinary......
IN ADDITION TO GOOGLE'S ATTACK ITSELF, THERE IS ALSO A SERIOUS PROBLEM, GOOGLE IS CALLING FOR THIS MATTER, POINTING OUT THAT THE RELEVANT DEPARTMENTS IN CHINA DO NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH PROTECTION, WHICH IS THE KEY!
China pays the most attention to face, especially on foreign-related issues. Therefore, this time there are foreigners who have always had natural superior treatment in China, and this situation has continued for many years, until the last two years, after the Internet became popular, some netizens posted a few posts about foreigners doing bad things in China, but the Chinese were accused by netizens, thinking that the quality of foreigners is not so bad.
But with the in-depth digging of the content of the post, it was finally found that the poor quality was foreigners, which made most Chinese people wake up to the fact that foreigners are not all good people, and they are used to enjoying high treatment in China, and they have raised their ugly habits even more.
As a result, in recent years, Chinese people have begun to question foreigners, and they do not keep defending foreign friends, but more about protecting their own nationals. It has to be said that this is a manifestation of the increased self-confidence of many peoples.
THEREFORE, AT THIS TIME, IF GOOGLE STILL HOLDS THE OLD THINKING OF THE PAST, THINKING THAT ONCE IT IS TOUGH, IT WILL INEVITABLY MAKE CHINA BOW ITS HEAD AND SUBMIT TO SOFTNESS, IT IS A BIG MISTAKE......
China pays attention to face, and face also has a level of importance. IN THIS MATTER, GOOGLE CAN SCOLD THOSE HACKERS, BUT IT MUST NOT SAY THAT THE OFFICIAL DOES NOT ACT, OTHERWISE IN ORDER TO PROVE THAT THE OFFICIAL IS RIGHT, IT CAN ONLY BE GOOGLE'S FAULT!
Wu Tian couldn't find out those hackers - although Wu Tian had already guessed who was behind the scenes, Wu Tian, who had no evidence, couldn't say it. HOWEVER, WU TIAN CAN HELP GOOGLE NOT TO DO ANYTHING, SO THAT THEY CAN CLEARLY UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF SITUATION THEY ARE FACING NOW.
"LILY, HELP ME CONTACT SOMEONE ON THE GOOGLE SIDE, THEY HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE BRANCH IN CHINA, AND I WILL HELP THEM." Wu Tian dialed Chen Lili's phone and said.
"I've also heard about it, and now it's also hotly discussed here. THEY ALL SAID THAT CHINA'S HACKERS WERE SO POWERFUL THAT THEY COULD EVEN HACK GOOGLE, HEHEHE......," CHEN LILI LAUGHED.
Wu Tian was depressed, I really don't know if this evaluation is good or bad. It looks like praising the level of Chinese hackers, but it seems to say that Chinese hackers are really lawless, and even such a big company dares to hack, which is much better than those hackers in the United States who can only steal some user files......
WITH MORE THAN 30% OF THE SHARES, THAT IS A VERY STRONG STRENGTH, YOU MUST KNOW THAT IN THE UNITED STATES, A LARGE COMPANY LIKE GOOGLE, ITS EQUITY HOLDERS ARE QUITE DISPERSED AND QUITE A LOT, CAN OWN A FEW PERCENT OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES, CAN BE REGARDED AS A MAJOR SHAREHOLDER, OR EVEN ONLY A FEW TENTHS OF A PERCENT, ARE QUALIFIED TO SIT ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Although more than 30% of the shares in the hands of Tianli Investment are not all held in the name of Tianli Investment, they are scattered under the names of several subsidiaries to avoid suspicion because of excessive equity. HOWEVER, THESE SUBSIDIARIES CAN ADVANCE AND RETREAT TOGETHER, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO INFLUENCE SOME OF GOOGLE'S DECISIONS.
THEREFORE, WHEN ONE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS SAID THAT GOOGLE COULD SEEK THE HELP OF A SPECIAL PERSON FOR THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN CHINA, ALTHOUGH MANY SHAREHOLDERS OPPOSED IT, IT FINALLY COULD NOT SURVIVE THE JOINT APPROVAL OF SEVERAL SMALL SHAREHOLDERS, AND FINALLY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECIDED TO TEMPORARILY ABANDON THEIR ORIGINAL HARD-LINE ATTITUDE, TEMPORARILY IGNORE THE REPORT SUBMITTED BY THE ZHONGHUA BRANCH ON THE RATHER BAD BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT OF CHINA'S INVESTMENT, AND DECIDED TO SEND A VICE PRESIDENT OF THE HEAD OFFICE TO VISIT CHINA IN PERSON TO SEEK THE HELP OF THAT ENTHUSIASTIC PERSON. in order to solve the current dilemma.
So, Vice President Jack Stone got on a plane to China, and after arriving in China, he was first received by the Zhonghua branch, stayed in the hotel, and the next morning, according to the phone number provided by the shareholder, he made an appointment to meet the cowman.
According to the agreement, in the afternoon, the vice president of Stone, accompanied by the president of the branch, arrived at the Tianren Residence in the western suburbs of Beijing.
"Looks like construction is going on here?" Stone said, "Mark, are you sure it's here?" ”
"The address is not wrong, this is it." Mark asked the driver before he was sure, "Why don't I call again?" ”
"Okay, get in touch right away." Stone said with some displeasure.
You must know that Mr. Stone is reluctant to go on this business trip, after all, the current problem of the Zhonghua branch is quite tricky, and even before getting this news, the company is already considering the plan to evacuate the branch from China.
For this country, like most IT companies in the United States, the impression is not very good. First of all, the country has a strong sense of resistance to those giant companies, and various specifications are quite strict, on the one hand, to protect their own Internet companies, and on the other hand, because the country is very strict about information control, and it is very reluctant for its people to accept foreign information.
THEREFORE, MANY OF GOOGLE'S SENIOR EXECUTIVES THINK THAT ENTERING CHINA IS A VERY IRRATIONAL DECISION, AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN A FEW YEARS, AND THE COMPANY HAS BEEN A LITTLE UNABLE TO GET MIXED UP HERE, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO CLOSE THE BRANCH AND EVACUATE THE COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY!
Stone was also the master of this opinion, he was not happy with this trip, and he did not have the slightest confidence that he could solve this trouble, and he had already decided that this operation was bound to fail, so naturally he did not have much patience and good temper.
Mark quickly made a phone call, but he made sure they were in the wrong place, and then someone came out of a side door next to the construction site, but it was a waiter-like person who led them into the long-forgotten clubhouse of "Heavenly Habitat".
"HELLO MR. GAO, I'M JACK STONE, VICE PRESIDENT OF GOOGLE, AND IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU." Stone said that he was happy, but he didn't mean much joy, and it was very perfunctory.
Gao Yang didn't care at all, he smiled and beckoned the two foreigners into a tea pavilion, ready to follow Wu Tian's plan to persuade the two guys to change their negative thoughts first...... (To be continued.) )
