Chapter 653 Knowledge should not only be provided to those who can pay

Anyway, there is a state-owned enterprise as the largest shareholder behind it, and it has a monopoly position anyway. No matter how ugly it looks, who dares to confront state-owned assets?

Xu Qiu also understood at this moment. No wonder the academic circle had long been complaining, but CNKI's behavior had not restrained at all, and had even intensified.

"The state...didn't intervene?" Xu Qiu didn't believe it.

Chen Song shook his head and said: "Of course I have intervened. In the past few years, there have been more than 600 lawsuits related to CNKI, most of which are copyright disputes. The State Administration for Market Regulation has also investigated whether monopoly is involved, but the official The measures are very restrained and only talk about verification and research.”

"And after that?"

"There are some small changes. Last month, before going to court, I investigated the latest information and found that Qinghua seemed to be gradually handing over its shares!

"For example, Qinghua's Tongfang shares. Just the day before my investigation, Qinghua cut off the shares to Daxia Nuclear Industry Group and handed them over for free!"

Chen Song smiled... This free handover was very meaningful.

…

"In short, after fighting against CNKI for the past few months, I realized that the power of individuals is too weak."

After chatting for more than half an hour, Chen Song made his final conclusion.

He said: "Dr. Xu, don't look at the number of us. There are dozens in total, so we think it's too many. Compared with a behemoth like CNKI, hundreds of people are nothing!

"There are too few ways for individuals to sue, and it is extremely difficult to provide evidence. The only possible way to bring down CNKI is public interest litigation!"

This is one of the new regulations after the revision of the Anti-Monopoly Law: specifically adding provisions related to prosecutorial public interest litigation.

Chen Song said with a smile: "Of course there is another way, which is for all universities to voluntarily participate in boycotting and suing CNKI, but this is more difficult than individual lawsuits, so don't expect it."

Xu Qiu nodded... It seems that the most feasible method is this last method, huh! That’s it!

…

…

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qiu thought for a long time and finally took out the business card given to him by Academician Boring.

Before the CNKI incident, he never knew how to see the character and character of a veteran academician.

The higher the status, the wealth is just a number to him, so you can imagine the difficulty in seeing his true nature.

However, perhaps we can see the other party's character from his attitude and reaction to the CNKI incident.

"Xu Qiu, have you thought about it?" On the phone, Academician Boring's tone was extremely excited.

"not yet."

"Then...what problem did you encounter?"

Xu Qiu didn't hide anything: "Do you still remember that master's thesis, Academician Boring?"

"Of course I remember it. I am very impressed. If it can be promoted, it can be used as one of the clinical guidelines for respiratory emergencies!"

"I originally planned to make this paper public for free, but when my students downloaded it a few days ago, they discovered that CNKI had included it without authorization and the price was extremely high... After checking, I found out that all the papers under my name had been included by CNKI Included!”

Academician Boring's smile gradually disappeared and he said, "I didn't ask for your consent?"

"No."

"Where's the reward?"

"Never seen it either."

Academician Boring was a little shocked... His papers were also published in CNKI, but CNKI officials came to him to ask for authorization and promised to divide them 50-50.

But Academician Boring didn’t care about the money, so he asked CNKI to use 50% of his money as public welfare funds.

But after hearing what Xu Qiu said, Academician Boring realized... CNKI may not be as harmless as he thought. It was docile and well-behaved in front of him. Perhaps it was just because of his high status that he did not dare to offend him. !

Academician Boring suddenly shook his head and said: "No, if it is just this matter, it should be solved smoothly if you come forward... Then CNKI will not dare to offend you to the end!

"But you still called me, so there's a more serious problem?"

Xu Qiu nodded... He was indeed a veteran academician, and his intuition was terrifyingly accurate.

He briefly recounted what he had discussed with Chen Song.

After it was over, there was a long silence on the phone.

Until a sigh sounded, Academician Boring said solemnly: "I never thought that CNKI would degenerate into this..."

He has witnessed the growth of CNKI.

In fact, at that time, major universities formed a group to open and share databases to CNKI for free, and actively submitted all their own academic data to CNKI to form a national data database. This matter was promoted by Academician Boring.

He and countless old professors who aspired to be academics for the world have contributed to a CNKI network. Most of these people have passed away. This website should inherit their legacy and become the academic center of Daxia, supporting and helping countless people. Latecomers go further and higher on the academic road...

However, I did not expect that CNKI would reach this point and instead wave a butcher knife at the universities that had selflessly supported them!

"Sad, shameful!" Academician Boring's voice was like a heavy hammer, as heavy as hitting his heart.

After a long time, he gathered his emotions and sighed: "I haven't lost my composure like this for a long time, Xu Qiu, thanks to you this time, otherwise until I die, I probably wouldn't have imagined that CNKI has become like this!"

Academician Boring is too old. He has left the academic frontline a long time ago. He has not accepted a new student in the past ten years. Naturally, he does not know everything that happened to CNKI.

It's like a child who has gone far away from home and has returned 20 years later. Who knows what this child has become now?

Academician Tong said: "You just said that if colleges and universities form an alliance and jointly sue CNKI, they may succeed?"

Xu Qiu said: "The trend is unstoppable."

Academician Tong immediately laughed and said: "That's great. When I was just an ordinary professor, there were hundreds of people with similar achievements to me. At that time, I could lobby all major universities.

"Now, those who are better than me have passed away. Those who are still alive are not as good as me. If I take action again, more colleges and universities will respond!"

Academician Tong's voice was excited... When was the last time he was so excited? Did he receive his last disciple? Or was he awarded the honor of a senior academician by the country?

It hasn't been like this for decades. This feeling is like returning to the golden age of my twenties!

"Knowledge should not be provided only to those who can pay. CNKI should be damned! "Academician Tong's voice fell like a verdict. At this moment, he seemed to be the young student who was determined to stand at the top of academia sixty years ago.

...

"You made the right bet!"

After ending the call with Academician Tong, Xu Qiu was in a good mood.

Academician Tong was more outstanding than he had imagined... This kind of excellence was not only in terms of academic achievements and status, but also in terms of character.

How could he be a mediocre person if he could say "knowledge should not only be provided to those who can pay"?
