"This Facebook game is so vile! Isn't it fair for everyone to compete fairly? Why do you use such a small trick! They think that the acquisition of Ogilvy and then the lawsuit will bring us down. Let me tell you, they are thinking too much! Can the winger If you win the first lawsuit, you can win the second one, just wait and see!" Mr. Tao said angrily as he slapped the table.
The assistant next to him swallowed, and replied cautiously: "I believe..."
Anger is often a way of covering up one's guilty conscience.
Yes, Mr. Tao was a little guilty. He was quite confident in the lawsuit with Ogilvy, because the company that bullied others was not strong and was still based in other places.
But now facing Facebook, he doesn't have any confidence.
In terms of company strength, Facebook is now valued at $40 billion!As for his winger, if someone offers [-] million yuan, Mr. Tao will immediately send the company to the company with both hands...
In terms of influence and connections, although the winger is somewhat well-known in Hangzhou, he won the lawsuit last time more or less due to this factor.But it depends on who you compare it with. The long article about copyright that Yu Wenfei just posted has been uploaded on the Internet. Basically, all netizens have read it and participated in the discussion.
Even, that article was reprinted by many traditional newspapers and magazines, which aroused considerable social repercussions.
It can be said that this second lawsuit has not yet been fought, but in terms of momentum and public opinion, the winger has already lost...
Obviously, this appeal will inevitably attract more media attention, and the court will be more careful in the punishment. As for the result, Mr. Tao already knows it well.
"Mr. Wang, please come here, we need to discuss what to do next." Mr. Tao arranged for an assistant.
…………
Just when the media had just exposed a series of new news, maybe it was not big enough, Facebook Game released another news.
This time, it wasn't just the shock in the circle, because the news had already involved other industries.
"Facebook Games will simultaneously sue the Supersonic chain Internet cafes, Lanyu chain Internet cafes, Chaoshen Club chain Internet cafes, Fire Spirit chain Internet cafes... a total of [-] chain Internet cafe companies. The indictment has been submitted to the court where the headquarters of these chain Internet cafes are located!"
This news shocked everyone.
What does the Facebook game want to do?
How did those Internet cafes get into the Facebook game, and why did they become defendants?
Moreover, this is suing thirteen chain Internet cafes, basically killing all the large-scale chain Internet cafes in major cities in China.
The bosses of the chain Internet cafes named by the Facebook game are even more confused. This is definitely a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.
Isn't Facebook fighting the winger game? Why did it involve us.
When they got the notification letter, they realized what Facebook was suing them.
"Using pirated games for profit has violated the legitimate rights and interests of Facebook Game Company!"
There is really no need to justify this one. Have you ever used genuine software in Internet cafes?Especially gaming software.
Which Internet cafe does not have CS, Warcraft, and Diablo games in its computer? Obviously, they are all pirated discs. It just so happens that the distribution rights of these games in mainland China now belong to Facebook Game Company.
Therefore, Fang Zhiyan's big move was to sue [-] large chain Internet cafes at once.
In fact, as long as there is enough manpower and material resources, it is theoretically possible to sue Internet cafes all over the country, because every one uses pirated games to make profits.
The reason for choosing these is that these Internet cafes are relatively large in scale, and they are all concentrated in a few big cities, so it is more convenient to operate.
………………
"What the hell is the Facebook game trying to do? Are they trying to offend everyone?"
Many people have such doubts in their hearts.
Because they couldn't figure out what the purpose of Facebook Game doing this was.
Sue the winger game, this is obvious, competitors, just hit directly, and the whole thing will be over.
But suing the Internet cafe... This operation is very confusing.
Even if they can win, how much compensation can they get? There is no precedent for this kind of lawsuit in China. Even if under the pressure of public opinion this time, all the Facebook games that own the game copyright win, the court will not be able to award any sky-high compensation. Just a few tens of thousands of dollars, because it is difficult to calculate how much Internet cafes have made in these games.
As long as the Internet cafe owner insists that the users are going online or playing other games, it is impossible for Facebook to produce any evidence to count how long all Internet cafe users have played games.
Chapter 527 Splitting a Vast World
Why did the Facebook game push so many chain Internet cafes to the dock? Effie also had this question at the beginning, but Yu Wenfei's words made her suddenly understand.
"Didn't you ask Li Xin's team to help you build an Internet cafe fee management software? How do you plan to promote this software?" Yu Wenfei asked.
"Sell it cheaper. Our software is cheap and easy to use, so we can sell it naturally. If it doesn't work, then I'll send it to the head office for free." Effie replied blankly.
"Then if other people give it away for free, it's the companies that are currently making Internet cafe software." Yu Wenfei asked back.
In this area, some companies are indeed doing it. There are a lot of Internet cafe management software in the market, some are free and some are charged, good and bad are mixed.
Effie was stumped by the question, because the Facebook game does not yet have such a big promotion ability that it can directly push its own products to the whole country.
If everyone starts to viciously compete, maybe their own Internet cafe software will only occupy the market in some big cities, and there will be nothing they can do in places that are a little bit further away.
In her plan, she wanted to bundle this software with her own game platform for promotion.
"In business, when you beg others, things will never be easy. But on the other hand, when others come to beg you, things are much easier." Yu Wenfei said with a smile.
The meaning of these words is a bit deep, and Effie said that she couldn't figure it out.
"All Internet cafes have installed CS, Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and other games." Yu Wenfei guided.
"That's right, these games are so popular, they should be available in all Internet cafes, and they are all pirated." Effie nodded and returned.
"Then let's kill the chicken and show it to the monkeys first, and sue these relatively large chain Internet cafes. The purpose is not to make them lose money and delete pirated games, but to make them come to us for reconciliation. After all, during the lawsuit, we can apply It would be a huge loss to block their Internet cafes and shut down those who opened the Internet cafes for one day." Yu Wenfei smiled.
Effie nodded understandingly.
She has never worked in Internet cafes, so of course she doesn't know the details, but since Yu Wenfei said so, she shouldn't be wrong.
Of course, Yu Wenfei didn't talk nonsense. Those who opened Internet cafes were running 24 hours a day. They were closed for ten days and a half months. To put it bluntly, more than half of them couldn't survive and were about to close down!
Because during the closure period, the rent that accounts for the largest part of the operating cost has to be paid, and the depreciation of the machines still has to be calculated. These two can overwhelm many Internet cafes.
The purpose of pushing those Internet cafes to the dock this time is really not to make them lose money, as long as they apply for an injunction at that time, put a seal on the Internet cafe, and delay him for ten days and a half months, I will not be afraid of those bosses who will not cry. Come and beg him.
The purpose is to turn passive into active.
The reconciliation condition that Yu Wenfei is going to offer is to buy genuine game software to provide players with a better gaming experience. Of course, Internet cafes purchase in bulk, and the price provided will definitely be much cheaper than the market.At least, those Internet cafes can accept it.
Another condition... is that the Internet cafe must be bound to the "Facebook Family Bucket"!
Among them, including but not limited to Facebook, Facebook game platform...
Of course, the newly developed Internet cafe charging management software can be given to Internet cafes for free, and subsequent maintenance and update services are also provided for free!
