Chapter 489
As soon as Qin Shaoyan spoke, Cao Guowei became alert immediately.
Why did he call me suddenly?
What is the purpose of calling me at this time?
Show goodwill?
Extremely angry?
Or the letter of war?
Cao Guowei was on guard and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that it was Mr. Qin, you called me to congratulate me personally. This shows that our Sina Weibo has done quite well and has been recognized by our opponents and Respect."
"I'm just polite." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "No respect or recognition, Mr. Cao doesn't have to worry too much."
Cao Guowei frowned , "Then Mr. Qin commented on our Sina Weibo business. What do you think?"
"I'll just take a look." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "I think your business has great potential and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future, so I have to continue working hard."
Cao Guowei listened immediately Out of the hidden meaning, there is still a lot of room for growth, isn’t it just that our Weibo is still weak?
But Cao Guowei was not angry, he just sneered, "Mr. Qin, you are not here to have a quarrel with me, right? That would be too boring, right?"
"Well, right?" , I almost forgot the serious business if you don’t say it.” Qin Shaoyan’s tone became formal, “I have two purposes for calling, one is to congratulate, and the other is to say something to Mr. Cao.”
"Your Sina Weibo is not well named, and it is the same as our Weibo product. In order to prevent everyone from misunderstandings, you should change it."
Cao Guowei was immediately excited when he heard this, "Qin Shaoyan, you are too domineering, why can you use it, I can't use it?"
"Huh? Mr. Cao means that he doesn't plan to change his name?" Qin Shaoyan was very excited. Surprise. "Why should I change it?" Cao Guowei asked back.
"Okay, okay." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Then wait for my lawyer's letter."
Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone directly, and Cao Guowei listened to the blindness coming from the microphone. Yin, frowned and said, "Mysterious."
But as soon as he put down the phone, he suddenly became stunned.
Qin Shaoyan made this phone call strange. He called me to change his name?
Cao Guowei really studied the opponent Qin Shaoyan carefully and found that every time this guy made a move, he would hit you from your unexpected perspective.
Now Qin Shaoyan asked him to change his name. Is he going to sue us for plagiarism?
Cao Guowei frowned. He had to be careful of this move, and even the penguin suffered a loss.
But that's because Penguin's QQ farm directly uses the other party's art resources. We all do our Weibo posts ourselves, and the website artists are all Wang Wei's personal attention to the pictures. There should be no mistakes.
What does Qin Shaoyan mean?
When Cao Guowei was wondering, Wang Wei, who was in charge of Sina Weibo business, broke in in panic.
"Mr. Cao, did Qin Shaoyan publicly scold us for infringement on their own Weibo?"
Cao Guowei scolded with a stern face, "What are you panic? If he thinks we infringement, let him do it if he thinks we infringement, let him do it with a stern face." Come and sue, what are you anxious about? ”
"The social model of Weibo is not a patent, can he still monopolize exclusively?"
"Isn't it because of this?" Wang Wei was anxious, "He posted a lawyer's letter on Weibo, saying that they were early I registered the trademark of Weibo, and we can no longer use the name Weibo. "
"What?!" Cao Guowei was stunned for a moment, "Are they snatching the trademark?" "
"Yes Ah, Mr. Cao! "Wang Wei was very frustrated, "Now Qin Shaoyan said we will change our name within a deadline, otherwise he would sue us and go to the United States to sue."
This is another set!
Cao Guowei's blood pressure suddenly rose, Qin Shaoyan was too bullying!
"It's unbearable!" Cao Guowei slapped the table suddenly, "Qin Shaoyan is so hateful! I'm not over with him!"
...
"Good man Don't suffer the loss in front of you." Chairman Wang Yan advised, "Now things have reached this point, and it's impossible not to change your name. We can't really go against Qin Shaoyan."
"If the lawsuit is to be fought Going to the United States, isn’t that letting outsiders make jokes?”
"Mr. Wang's words are reasonable." Wang Wei quickly responded.
Sina is a US listed company. If a lawsuit is made in the United States, it will directly affect the stock price, which will have a greater impact than losing a lawsuit in China.
Cao Guowei looked angry, "What are you doing? Why didn't you check the risks in advance?"
"If Qin Shaoyan hadn't called me to notify me, I wouldn't have known that the trademark on Weibo had already been After being registered, what are you doing every day? ! "
"Wang Wei, you are the person in charge, what do you think you will deal with it?"
"Okay, OK." Wang Yan came out to smooth things over, "Things have happened, and it is meaningless to hold people accountable."
"No one thought of this matter. Let's think about how to change the name and reduce it first. Influence. ”
In another timeline, the term Weibo was first used by Sina, but they did not register trademarks to monopolize.
After that, there were competitors such as Tencent Weibo and Sohu Weibo. It was not until Sina Weibo achieved brand protection awareness after many competitors won.
When a well-known company names a product, it first considers whether it is suitable, easy to remember, read, and easy to market. As for whether the product name has been registered, it is only later considered.
For example, the name "WeChat" was registered as "WeChat" trademark in 2010 (Category 38, communication service), but Tencent launched the "WeChat" service in 2011. The court finally supported Tencent's continued use on the grounds of "public interest" and "market order".
So, even if the trademark registration is first, if the later user has formed a huge market influence, the trademark rights of the first registered person may be restricted based on the balance of public interests.
Now that "Weibo" has been occupied by Qin Shaoyan first, Sina has to change its name.
Cao Guowei did not expect that Sina suffered a small loss because of such an inconspicuous little thing.
I was still too careless. I didn't expect Qin Shaoyan to be like this... He is really good at everything and does not miss any opportunity.
Wang Wei sat aside tremblingly. He is now a meritorious person and must show his strength. "How about we call Chaoke?"
"Chaoke doesn't sound very good, right?" Wang Yan After thinking about it, "Just call it Boji."
"The United States initially regarded blogs as online diaries, so we called blog diaries. After making a certain difference from blogs, we can see two things. "
"Okay! OK! OK!" Wang Wei immediately applauded, "I am worthy of being Mr. Wang, with a knowledgeable and good name for the name of "Big Me"! It has a deep meaning! It is catchy!" >
"Then no one objected, just choose this name." Wang Yan looked at the people below and praised the new name, turned to look at Cao Guowei, "Old Cao, thank you for the rest of the matter." >
"Oh, Mr. Wang." Cao Guowei was a little ashamed, "I will try my best to remedy the impact this time."
"Just do your best, it's no big deal." Wang Yan continued to encourage, "New business is not development." It's pretty good. Qin Shaoyan's trick cannot shake the overall situation." "Yes, Mr. Wang is right." Cao Guowei immediately cheered up, "Isn't it just changing his name? Change it immediately, and then change it again The signboard started, and the battle with Weibo has just begun! "
...
"It's over!" Qin Shaoyan looked at the Rockets' score on TV and turned it off casually.
"What a pity, it's a pity. Yao Ming performed well." Zhang Pingyi was also very sorry, "The Rockets' lineup is still a problem."
Qin Shaoyan is not interested in the NBA, but the NBA has been very popular in China in recent years. He also glanced at the fun.
He doesn't know how many NBA teams are, and he only knows Yao Ming on the field. "It's a pity that Sohu Sports and the NBA have cooperation, otherwise we can also invite a few NBA stars to open an account on Weibo." Zhang Pingyi sighed, "It's not good for General Zhang to dig up the corner of General Zhang." >
"After all the NBA is abroad, if we want to develop on Weibo, we should pay attention to the domestic market." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "We must base ourselves on the domestic Internet and gain a foothold to consider looking at the world." "Wait for us If I have strong strength, I won’t be the mountain, but I will be the mountain when I come.”
Zhang Pingyi was very surprised, "How is that possible? That mountain can run over by itself?"
"That's not sure." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "There will be a day, Our Weibo will become a social platform that is more free to speak than the United States. "
Zhang Pingyi felt that Qin Shaoyan was trapped in a moment of fantasy, so he ignored him and changed the topic, "Sina's micro-net Bo has changed his name, what is Boji? "
"Well, just change his name." Qin Shaoyan's reaction was very plain, "You said this person would not have a memory without being beaten."
"I called and discussed asking them to change their names, but I had to ignore the advice. Now the whole Internet knows everything."
At first glance, Sina Weibo just changed its name, it's no big deal.
In fact, this incident had a very bad impact on Sina. Less than a week after it opened, it was called out and scolded.
And Sina is still the one who is in the wrong position, so she dared not retort and changed her name in shame.
The early advertising materials were printed, and all of them were invalidated after the name was changed, and the losses were considerable.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The losses in money are trivial, but this incident made Sina a laughing stock for everyone for a while.
Several media directly wrote articles to criticize, "The domestic Internet plagiarism has become a trend, and it has even reached the point where it is not ashamed of but proud. The industry that claims to be a high-tech industry actually relies on plagiarism. Where is our innovation ability? "
"What else will Internet companies do except plagiarize after copying abroad? When they are so arrogant in the face of infringement warnings, is it a contempt for morality or contempt for law?" "
" Internet companies have formed a path of success on plagiarism, forming a wonder that they can't survive without plagiarism."
"It is impossible for a country and a nation to copy blindly. What about this country? Ask the question!" Qin Shaoyan really didn't let the media go to hack Sina. They took the initiative to write articles to set the pace.
Qin Shaoyan didn't understand this at first, but later he found that all the media that received the funds from the "International Development Agency" were professional workers, and they only worked if they gave money. If they did not give money, they would never criticize a major Eastern country.
Some people who have been black all year round actually don’t receive money, and they still work hard to continue working even if they have no food.
So Qin Shaoyan found that someone would automatically get rid of the crime without spending money, so why should I spend money?
Some people here are swords!
But soon these media stopped writing articles and criticizing Sina, because they had already paid the protection fee with great sensibility, so they naturally had to transfer their firepower to find the next company to beg for alms.
"Let's move while Sina is silent for a while." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Let foreign internet celebrities show off and put out the promotional advertisement!"
" Go to Weibo and learn foreign languages! "
"Conversation with world celebrities."
"Now, give Sina a good look." Zhang Pingyi also became excited.
But Qin Shaoyan was not excited at all, and his reaction was still very plain, "Oh, I don't want to do this, but Sina is really not easy to deal with."
"By the way, You take the time to make an appointment with Director Hao Zhiqiang of the Olympic Organizing Committee. We must hurry up and implement the cooperation between our Weibo and the Olympic Games."
"Okay." Zhang Pingyi agreed immediately, "I'll do it now, the faster I will do it The better! ”
After Zhang Pingyi left, Qin Shaoyan picked up his phone and sent a message to Chen Yao, "The matter has been done, and we can withdraw it."
...
Chen Yao burst into tears when she received this text message. It was too difficult, and I finally waited.
Do you know how these few months have passed?
Sit in an empty office every day, and just write on Weibo if you have nothing to do. Now I finally don’t have to pretend.
Chen Yao immediately started packing things, stuffed the water cup, figures, and laptop into her backpack, pushed the chair, quickly got up and walked out.
Liao Danni, who was sitting next to watching the drama, was a little surprised, "Sister Chen, where are you going?"
"I'll go home." Chen Yao left without looking back. "It's only the hour, haven't you just started work?" Liao Danni still looked puzzled.
"Go to work? What kind of work?!" Chen Yao stood at the door and smiled, "I don't have to go to work in the future, the company is going bankrupt!"
Liao Danni had not reacted yet, subconsciously repeated it. In a word, "The company is closed..."
"What?!" Liao Danni jumped up from the chair in surprise, and her voice changed in shock. "The company is closed?!"
"Yes, the company is closed, closed, and it is yellow. ! "Chen Yao repeated several times, "No longer needed to go to work."
"How can the company go bankrupt? How can it go bankrupt?" Liao Danni was anxious, "Sister Chen, are you kidding me? ? "
Then Liao Danni found out that Chen Yao didn't seem to be a joke, so she jumped at that time, "Chen Yao, you liar! Where is my money? Where is my startup funds! We signed a contract!" br>
"My money! My money!" Liao Danni shouted and jumped, "I want to sue you!"
"You sue it. It's not me to sign a contract with you. You go find an investor." Chen Yao was not afraid of this and sneered a few times, "What's the solution for the investor to withdraw the investment?"
"I just said Resigned from the previous company, you scammers! "Liao Danni collapsed at that time. If she hadn't watched Chen Yao post on Weibo every day and start a business, she wouldn't have resigned from Sentinel Technology, which is good for welfare, and plunged into it. In this pit.
Originally, I could have been able to have sex with Sentinel Technology for two years and continue to have sex for a few more years with a second child, but now it's all done.
Chen Yao had already run away at this time, and the phone was blocked by her, leaving only Liao Danni crying in the empty office.
At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Belinda, who had just joined the company, walked in with some confusion, "Dani, why are you crying here alone?"
"Sister Bei, the company is closed!" Liao Danni burst into tears, "What should I do now? I am unemployed."
Belinda's face changed and she was a little panicked. She just completed the entry procedures yesterday. The company went bankrupt? "How did the company go bankrupt?" Belinda asked unwillingly.
"Chen Yao said that the investor withdraws the investment!" Liao Danni said hatefully, "She is just a liar!"
Belinda was a little dizzy at this time, and the investor actually withdraws the investment. ...It can be met by her like this.
But she quickly calmed down her mind, said a few words to Liao Danni, and turned around and left.
After leaving the company, she immediately took out her cell phone and called, "Hey, Mr. Wang, when will I go to Sina to join? I want to go through the procedures today."
... "Okay, I'll say to the people, come here." Wang Wei said casually.
He doesn't care about Qin Shaoyan's former secretary now, he has more important things to do now.
"Be prepared immediately and authenticate foreign internet celebrity accounts!" Wang Wei reminded seriously, "Don't make mistakes, and don't miss anyone."
"As long as there is a Weibo post, there is one. We have to keep up with the action too! "
"I want to see if the foreign internet celebrities on Weibo are powerful or the foreign internet celebrities on our blog have the appeal."
Wang Wei was full of confidence at this time because he dug up these foreign internet celebrities by himself, all of which were double internet celebrities from Facebook and Tang Bure.
