Chapter 186: Beginning the Fight Against Piracy (1st Update)
In fact, Yang Yun knows very well in his heart that PC games really don't make much money, and the pirated CDs of Jin Yong's heroes in real history are flying all over the sky, with an adaptation fee of 20 million, plus research and development costs, it is very likely that it will take a few years to recover it.
But he has a lot of advantages compared with Zhiguan Technology, video games make money, handheld games make money, this is almost a monopoly industry, and there are a few more ways to choose than a simple PC.
And in China, only SLG games like Three Kingdoms are familiar to Chinese people, and RPG games with pure Chinese culture are probably only Jin Yong series, and even Zhiguan Technology has taken the pole to grab the copyright, and Longteng has no reason to refuse.
Yang Yun asked suspiciously: "Yang Zhan, I think this price is very cheap, you just said, in order to compensate us Longteng, what does this mean?" ”
Yang Zhan was silent, sighed and said: "Because Yu Pin Haichang is like the eldest son of Zha Lao who committed suicide, when everyone's conditions are similar, Zha Lao can only choose like this." ”
"So that's ......" Yang Yun didn't know what to say, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "When you sign the contract, you help me bring a word to Zha Lao, Jin Yong's martial arts game, we Longteng will definitely carry it forward and make it a high-quality product, it will definitely not be like Zhiguan Technology, which has no strength, and it is surprisingly loud!" ”
Yang Yun has done his best to do this, and then he contacted the Japanese Fengyun Company to determine the research and development progress of the escape game, and the domestic popular science version still has about a week to finalize the version, and the action against piracy can be closed.
May 16, 1991, State Planning Commission, Ministry of Electronic and Information Industry. Ministry of Public Security, General Administration of Customs. The Administration for Industry and Commerce issued a joint statement emphasizing respect for intellectual property rights. Crack down on piracy and counterfeit and shoddy goods, carry out large-scale inspections across the country, focus on the electronic market, clothing market, book and audio-visual market, food market, find one, shut down one, legal persons and manufacturers will be subject to heavy fines. In serious cases, they will be submitted to the people's court for trial.
CCTV played a role in the middle of the needle, hundreds of reporters' investigations and secret visits have already accumulated a large number of clues, these first-hand information let the task force quickly open up the situation, the country's largest infringing garment factory, famous food processing factories around the country, the largest piracy enterprise in Tianjin City Xinxing Electronics Factory, many bosses have not yet reacted, all were taken away by the public security department, and then the court put a seal on the factory gate.
"Focus Moment" and "News Network" will broadcast the latest developments to the public every day. CCTV specially produced a ten-episode feature film "Focus on China's Piracy Industry Series Report", which was broadcast for ten consecutive days during the prime program time of the central program, which triggered a great discussion among the people of the whole country and had a huge impact!
At a stage when everyone is legally illiterate. Everyone thought that Zhang San made a beautiful electric fan and applied for a patent, and Li Si learned to imitate one in a similar way. There should be no problem, in fact, infringement.
Or maybe Professor Zhao wrote a paper. Published in an authoritative journal, Professor Wang feels that there are some contents that can be used for reference. Changing the sentence and replacing the same meaning with another statement is also a disguised infringement.
The Mapper, who uses hacker jishu to crack the game cartridge, copies a large number of game content for his own personal gain, which is a serious infringement and the most ruthless target of Longteng's attack.
"Lehi, the stakes are high, and it's likely to be a point of no return, have you really made up your mind?" Yang Yun looked at a young man with an ordinary appearance and asked solemnly.
This young man who couldn't be recognized when he threw it into the crowd showed a simple smile: "Mr. Yang, my brother has always said in my ear that the person he admires the most is you, you are a person who is really worried about the country and the people, and does great things." Now that you are in difficulty, you are willing to hand over such a difficult task to me, this is worthy of me, of course I, Lehi, will defend the interests of Longteng to the death! ”
Whoever thinks that Lehi is as honest on the inside as he is on the outside, he is very wrong!
This ordinary-looking, seemingly honest guy is actually completely different from his brother Li Shan, Li Shan is honestly an engineer in the Longteng R&D Department, and Li Hai is just 22 years old, and he has 8 years of experience in mixed society, and he is very shrewd!
He has crawled at the bottom of the society, has been left and right between cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, has been in the business circle, and has made friends with all kinds of immortals.
Yang Yun was very satisfied: "Lehi, I won't let you defend to the death, sacrificing in vain is the choice of the stupid." I would prefer that you can adapt to the situation and protect yourself with the weapon of the law. Fighting counterfeiting is a very offensive thing, we Longteng is a large company, not afraid of the opponent to find the door, but your personal safety must be paid attention to, in case of defeat to the opponent, must not break through. ”
Li Hai nodded: "Mr. Yang, I understand!" You just wait for my good news, I will make the name of 'Lehi Crackdown on Counterfeiting' spread throughout the country, so that pirates all over the country will be frightened, and set an example for others, there is me Lehi, and there are other Wang Hai, Zhang Hai, Zhao Hai! ”
Yang Yun patted him on the shoulder, full of praise: "Longteng's interests are protected by you, of course, we will not forget your personal interests!" We will provide you with a professional team of lawyers, as long as you bring down a pirate, the court will pay you as much as the court rules to pay you, I will personally subsidize you! Go ahead and let your name ring all over China! ”
Soon, Longteng Company issued a wanted advertorial to the whole country, calling on people from all walks of life to provide pirated source information of MD consoles and game cards, as long as a counterfeit den is knocked out, Longteng rewards 5000, raid a large-scale pirated warehouse, Longteng rewards 10,000, destroy a sales channel, Longteng rewards 20,000!
The civil liliang is quite terrifying, after the CCTV press corps, Jiang Yang's informant, and the Ministry of Public Security's dragnet sweep, because of Longteng's heavy reward, those fish that slipped through the net were once again reported by the masses.
No matter which residential area is hiding in the warehouse, or which remote town is in the cassette processing workshop, Longteng only paid less than 1 million, and confiscated dozens of hidden pirated dealers!
In this series of activities, 45,000 counterfeit MD hosts, more than 180,000 counterfeit FC and SFC hosts were seized, 1.04 million boxes of various pirated learning cards and game cards were confiscated, and more than 30 electronic factories suspected of counterfeiting were seized, including 20 factories with dozens of employees, and 318 pirated wholesalers and distributors were detained, involving more than 84 million funds!
The results are abundant! The whole country was shocked! Only by seeing this kind of factual data can ordinary people know that the domestic piracy industry is so chaotic!
This is just the data of the electronics industry, to be precise, it is just a narrow classification of Longteng learning machines and game cards, not to mention the pirated goods of personal computers and parts, if you really count the entire electronics industry, I am afraid that hundreds of millions of people can't be stopped!
Although the nationwide crackdown on counterfeiting was only in the electronics industry, clothing, food, and the audio-visual markets, the state took advantage of the victory to pursue the crackdown, and later expanded the scope of the crackdown.
In addition, the industry delegations of non-governmental organizations, such as the Building Materials Industry Association, the Furniture Association, and the Stationery Association, have learned from the practice of Longteng Company, offering high-priced rewards, rewarding whistleblowers, and cracking down on pirates.
Among them, the most striking case occurred in the Beijing Department Store.
On May 28, 1991, a man dressed in ordinary clothes but with a very loud tone came to the Beijing Department Store, claiming to be a purchasing representative of an education group affiliated with a central enterprise, and offered to buy 50 SFCs and study cards and game cards in front of a Nintendo counter, which were distributed to employees as company benefits as gifts for Children's Day.
There is not so much genuine stock in the Nintendo counter, so the store manager tried to ask: "Sir, the number of 50 units is a bit much, we need 5 days to urgently transfer goods from Japan, and we may not be able to catch up with Children's Day." You see......"
The man was impatient: "50 units? There is no mistake in setting up a counter in the Beijing department store? ”
After saying this, the man was about to go out, and muttered as he walked: "I knew that I would have passed away!" ”
The Nintendo store manager hurriedly grabbed the guests and apologized for a long time, zuihou made a suggestion to see if part of the original imported Nintendo console could be selected, and the other part could choose the SFC compatible machine produced in China.
The guest didn't understand it at all and asked, "What's the difference?" ”
The store manager was a little vigilant: "Part of it is imported originally, and some of it is produced by a large domestic factory, except for the different prices, there is almost no difference, and even the cassette is universal." ”
The guest waved his hand, impatient: "What the hell are you doing?" Are you making me treat employees differently? 50 units were sent out, and some people said that it was different, so didn't that trap me in injustice? Either 50 original imported units, or 50 domestic ones, if there is one, it will be sold, and if there is one, I will ask other counters! Our company is not afraid of spending money, but afraid of trouble! ”
50 compatible SFC consoles, plus learning cards and game cards, almost eighty or ninety thousand, this is not a small business, no one will let go easily.
However, at this stage, the national investigation of piracy is in an uproar, and the Nintendo store manager is a little scared, so he can only stabilize the customers in the store on the one hand, and on the other hand, arrange for someone to quickly inquire about the situation of this education group under the central enterprise, wanting to judge whether it is really true.
The customer's shelf is too big, and the patience is even less pitiful, and the most beautiful waiters in the store take turns to fight, and they only let the guests wait for half an hour, and they have the meaning of leaving.
Uncle! In addition to letting the girls dedicate themselves, other services have been done, and the store manager is about to cry! (To be continued......)
