39. Good artists plagiarize

Guan Huang laughed, "That's plagiarism." ”

Xia Qixi said lightly, "Jobs, who is now being blown into a god by Chinese users, didn't he also start by plagiarism?" ”

Guan Huang heard of this kind of thing for the first time, "Oh, what's going on? ”

Xia Qixi: "The graphical interface launched by Apple's Macintosh is a revolution compared to the previous character operation interface, but this is not Apple's first creation, the first creator is Xerox.

Jobs heard that Xerox had launched a new human-machine interface and asked for a collaboration with Xerox. Xerox was unwilling. Jobs said, "Can you let me take a look?" Xerox agreed, and later Apple launched the operating system for this graphical interface. ”

"Is that copying?"

Xia Qixi: "Plagiarism or not, no one can say for sure, Jobs himself did not admit it." ”

Guan Huang nodded.

Xia Qixi continued, "Many people agree that Apple's iPhone launched in 2007 is a new, disruptive, and epoch-making product. But the idea for the touchscreen technology, including the name iPhone, and the iPad launched in 2010, is not Apple's, but from a Chinese company. ”

Guan Huang was surprised, "Really? ”

Xia Qixi explained: "As early as 2001, when Apple launched the iPod, it found that there was a product called iPad in China, and there was only one letter missing, and Apple felt that this was an infringement of its intellectual property rights.

Later, I learned that this product was launched in 2000, so that the elderly who are not familiar with computers can directly point their fingers on the screen when they withdraw money from the bank. ”

Guan Huang was stunned.

Xia Qixi continued: "Apple encountered a huge challenge in the development of the iPhone, the screen and keyboard competed for position, and if the full keyboard was used, the screen of the phone would be small. If the screen is large, the keyboard will be small and cannot be a full keyboard.

"At this time, the developers suddenly thought that they were still developing a product called iPad, which is a large screen, and immediately used touch screen technology to solve the problem of fighting, the screen is the keyboard, and the keyboard is the screen."

Guan Huang is not a fan of Jobs.

Naturally, I don't know the anecdote of Joe's gang leader.

Plagiarizing ideas is nothing.

Deceiving partners and filling their pockets is wonderful.

Xia Qixi looked at him, "Saying this, it's not about making moral judgments, but you have to understand that to start a business, you have to learn to play side balls, take shortcuts, and even take shortcuts." Picasso once said that good artists plagiarize, great artists steal. ”

Guan Huang nodded.

Xia Qixi: "Jobs said that there is a passage that I think can be a good defense for Douyin. ”

"What?"

"We're never ashamed of stealing great ideas. I think part of what makes computers great is that Macintosh is the musicians, poets, artists, zoologists, and historians who put their hearts and minds into it, and they happen to be the best computer scientists in the world. ”

Guan Huang smiled and said, "If you spread this, you have to be scolded to death." ”

Xia Qi's face did not change, "Mediocre artists and computer scientists, they only know how to plagiarize, but the best artists and computer scientists are "stealing" other people's soul ideas. ”

Guan Huang was amazed when he heard it.

Although he has always felt that the business model is that you copy me and I copy you.

When Superman started his business, he copied a lot of Ele.me's homework. Later, it became a market leader, and many practices were constantly copied by opponents.

Delivery rider, one-click taxi calling, interface optimization, 30-minute delivery......

But, on the inside, there's always something a little unnatural.

Like Jobs, who can do "not ashamed but proud", that is really a master.

Gotta study hard.

Now that you have stepped into this quagmire, you have to go with the flow.

Just when the Internet was overwhelmingly criticizing Douyin plagiarism and superhuman shamelessness, Xiao Wenwen stood up and was interviewed by China Business News:

Reporter: Have you noticed the public opinion on the Internet?

Xiao Wenwen: I see.

J: Is there anything you would like to say to netizens?

Xiao: It's all nonsense, if this is plagiarism, then the domestic business will not be able to be done.

J: You mean that creativity is not important, it depends on the product?

Xiao: As long as people like Douyin, it means that we have done it successfully.

Wouldn't that be a mess if that were the case, and that big companies would be free to steal ideas from smaller companies and thus stifle innovation?

Xiao: Big companies don't copy ideas from small companies, and the idea itself is a random event. There are too many start-ups, but not every seed can grow into a towering tree, and the big company doesn't know who will subvert itself in the end, so how can he know whose idea to plagiarize before he knows the prophet.

The reporter groaned for a moment, feeling that what he said made sense.

Before the launch of Douyin, no one knew whether it could be popular or not.

How can you go to great lengths to plagiarize ideas.

Note: Then what do you mean, Douyin and Xiaojiaxiu are completely coincidences?

After going around in circles for a long time, I finally got to the key issue.

Xiao Wenwen laughed, "If it weren't for Xiao Jiaxiu looking for us to touch porcelain, I wouldn't know who this company is, if you want to say plagiarism, it is also the other party who copied us." ”

The journalist was stunned.

Could it be that I was particularly lucky to meet a brazen CEO?

Dare to refer to the deer as a horse in front of the majority of netizens?

"However, the little coffee show was launched earlier than you?"

Xiao Wenwen: "Let's not talk about what you can do in three days?" If you want to speculate according to time, our same product Y, now renamed TikTok, has been introduced to the market as early as last year, and I have reason to suspect that Xiaojiaxiu has plagiarized our idea, and in turn the wicked people sue first. ”

The reporter was blinded, and there was still this situation.

"This, that, you said TikTok, why haven't I heard it?"

Xiao Wenwen looked at her, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, tiktok is mainly in the North American market, and it has topped the APPSTORE list for three consecutive weeks, and it is a very popular entertainment software." ”

The reporter didn't know how to talk about it.

Since the other party said it so clearly, it is definitely not a mouthful.

When she received the interview task, she was also very happy and felt that she could embarrass the other party.

I didn't expect to dig a pit and wait for myself to jump.

Now I want to say that Douyin and Xiaojia show are really insidious.

The former has been holding on to the news, and when public opinion is boiling, there will be a reversal.

The latter should have known about TikTok news for a long time, but he deliberately touched porcelain, won eyeballs, wanted to survive in death, and fought his way out in the shadow of Douyin.

"Well, why haven't I heard you talk about this?"

Xiao Wenwen: "I repeat again, the idea is not important, whether the little coffee show plagiarized our ideas or not, in the end, it depends on the quality of the product, I think, we are doing a good job." ”
