Chapter 679 1 Accidentally make history

In the final analysis, intellectual property issues are still limited by the times. It is definitely hopeless for Chang Haonan and the three of them to just think about it.

Therefore, Chang Haonan simply did not plan to dwell on this issue for too long.

"What Professor Yang said does make sense."

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision:

"However, dealing with the piracy problem is like Dayu's flood control. It not only needs to be blocked, but also needs to be drained, so we are prepared with both hands."

"The first is, as Professor Yang said, to scare off a few outliers every once in a while. Of course, the main focus is to pick on those involving relatively large sums of money and serious circumstances, such as those who secretly use our software and can't do anything in a year. There is no need to kill all those who are really self-employed with a few businesses, just think of it as a contribution to marketing. "

"Second, from our group's own perspective, we also need to provide better services to genuine users, such as business training and technical guidance, including the numerical calculation business department. I see that the number of orders received has skyrocketed in recent months, and it can also Consider giving priority to requests from users who have purchased genuine software.”

These two items basically belong to the version of commercial software operation answers.

As long as the service is in place, a considerable number of customers will still be willing to pay.

Of course, at this moment, the idea of ​​"selling software is essentially selling services" is still somewhat fresh.

However, the wave just now had already raised the shock threshold of the other two people a bit high, so now they only showed a little bit of strangeness, and noted the second item mentioned by Chang Haonan in the notebook, and did not Too much of a surprise.

"Then...in this case, after we go back today, we will start preparing to recruit people and expand the size of the legal department?

For Yang Huimei, the service aspect must be the responsibility of the technical department. As a layman, she does not need to intervene, so what she can do should be the legal aspect.

Since Torch Group was able to compile user agreements in several languages ​​before, there must be a team in the legal department.

Not only that, but also proficient in the laws of many countries.

But because it was just some clerical work before, the scale was not large.

Now that we have to compete with others in court, in Yang Huimei's view, we must have more manpower.

"It doesn't need to be expanded too much..."

Chang Haonan waved his hand:

"Our group only has two people in the office. The legal department currently has five people, which is already the department with the largest number of administrative staff. We just need to recruit a few more."

"Uh……"

Yang Huimei paused:

"Mr. Chang, a lawsuit involving a commercial dispute like this is different from an ordinary personal lawsuit. It doesn't take one lawyer to handle it from beginning to end. It usually requires a team of lawyers... Just like last year's case of NSK's fraud. For legal procedures, both sides have hired legal teams with dozens of people..."

"Are you still paying attention to the follow-up to this matter?"

Chang Haonan was a little surprised.

Although he took care of this matter by himself, after confirming that the Japanese companies in Europe were already firmly in the coffin, he did not spend extra energy on it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Huimei, who was not directly involved in the whole process, became more interested.

The latter couldn't help but shook his head:

"Mr. Chang, it's not just me."

"Now it is estimated that business and law professors all over the world are closely watching the follow-up development of this incident. Even hundreds of papers related to the incident have been written..."

"woc...has such a big impact?"

To be able to make such a big noise was indeed completely beyond Chang Haonan's expectations.

But when he heard the second half of Yang Huimei's words, he suddenly remembered a joke he had heard before he was reborn.

A doctoral student has been studying various favorable factors after Britain joins the European Union for five years, with clear organization and strict logic.

But before he could defend his degree, Brexit happened.

"I wonder if there will be some unlucky graduate students studying Japanese business management who will be tricked by me..."

Chang Haonan's whisper to himself was still heard by the other two, and the room was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere...

After a while, Yang Huimei put away her smile and continued to explain:

"In short, since the 80s, Japanese companies have had a relatively large influence around the world, especially in North America. Now, although Japan's economy is slightly in decline, most people are still optimistic that they can restart rapid growth in the new century. "

Chang Haonan almost stopped when he heard this, but he also knew that it was normal to have such a view without opening his third eye, so he did not interrupt Yang Huimei, but allowed the latter to continue:

"As a result, when this incident happened last year, it directly affected the world, especially developed countries' views on Japan's industrial prospects. For example, among the companies involved, the stocks of the most serious ones fell to less than one-third of their original value. And the recovery is very slow. The most pessimistic expectation is that Japan’s GDP growth rate this year may be even lower than last year’s -1.3%..."

"..."

In the original timeline, several major fraud incidents broke out in the early 21st century, but they were basically isolated cases and the scope of their impact was relatively small.

When it was later widely exposed, Japan's economy was already almost in ruins. It was because there were too many lice but it didn't itch. It could only be regarded as the icing on the cake in reverse.

And now he has detonated this big thunder in the late 90s...

It always feels like I accidentally made history.

After all, in the eyes of people of this era, the plot is actually "the signs of recovery that Japan's economy had already shown were directly interrupted due to a series of fraud and breach of contract issues, so it returned to a period of recession."

"I wonder if Nobuo Ikeda would add this paragraph if he wrote "The Lost Twenty Years" on this timeline..."

Chang Haonan thought to himself.

But when I think about it again, I feel that there is no need to wait for Nobuo Ikeda to write this book.

After all, in this life, China’s GDP may not surpass Japan’s until 2010.

Therefore, we can completely reverse the situation and do a round of operations by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, proactively paying for a Japanese writer to write a book, and cultivating a group of reflective monsters for the other side...

……

Although this part that got sidetracked in the middle was a bit fun, after all, the business was not finished yet, so Yang Huimei quickly returned to the previous topic:

"In any case, although we probably won't fight a lawsuit of this size and level, even if it's just a show of killing chickens to scare monkeys, we will definitely need manpower."

What she said actually made sense, but it was obvious that she had misjudged Chang Haonan's current energy.

"We don't need to put on a show to scare the monkeys. The Ministry of Justice only needs to find the target accurately and collect some preliminary evidence."

Chang Haonan replied:

"As for the actual hands-on part... please ask the public prosecutors and judicial systems to take action, and conduct a special operation to crack down on intellectual property rights infringement from time to time."

"?"

"hiss……"

Yang Huimei, who originally thought her boss was a bit soft-hearted, was immediately dumbfounded:

"Can this still happen?"

She just thought that if the other party lost the lawsuit, she would lose a lot of money. In the end, Chang Haonan wanted to let the other party lose the lawsuit and just go in and use the sewing machine...

This deterrence ability is really maxed out.

Chang Haonan said to his heart that you don't know how a certain penguin will fight game cheats many years later. I also learned this from future generations.

Of course, there is definitely no way to explain this, so I can only treat it as my own original work:

"Protecting intellectual property rights should be an official action. It would be thankless for us to do it alone, so we still have to cooperate with comrades in the judicial organs. This can be regarded as our contribution to the construction of the rule of law..."

Yang Huimei opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she just nodded:

"I understand. Let's wait until there is a need. However, I have never done this job before, so I may need your guidance for the first time..."

Although she thinks she is well-informed, she has never experienced this attitude——

Despite what Chang Haonan said, it is actually impossible for an ordinary individual or even an ordinary company to have the judicial system arrange a special operation to bring justice to you.

But if you think about it carefully, Torch Group is definitely not an ordinary enterprise nowadays, so it is normal to be treated a little bit specially.

"Okay, if there are no other questions, let's do this for now. I have a signing ceremony to attend tomorrow, TORCH Multiphysics, and the launch of Sugon 2000T. You two will follow me more, and if there is anything difficult to make a decision, please Just contact me.”

Seeing that the other two people were no longer talking, Chang Haonan closed the notebook in front of him that was just a prop and had nothing written on it, and looked at Song Jingming on the other side:

"Also, Director Song?"

Song Jingming was still immersed in the shock of "Why didn't I know our company was so powerful?", but he came back to his senses when he heard his name:

"I'm here, Mr. Chang."

"Help me urge you on the agreement template to be used tomorrow. This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed."

Chang Haonan said.

The cooperation agreement he will sign tomorrow is naturally the one he had agreed with Wu Yifan before, asking the latter to recruit people from Ermao in the form of labor dispatch.

Originally, there was no need to be so anxious, but it is already late February, and Eastern Europe will soon enter a nightmare-level turbulence period.

For the Transcarpathian-Satu Mare smuggling route, there is only about a week left to transport it by road...
