NOVEL NEXT Chapter 87
After sending Yang Mi to the eighth floor, Su Chengyang returned to the seventh floor, his office.
He asked his assistant Sun Yixuan to make a cup of coffee with less sugar, and Su Chengyang turned on the computer to browse the news. He had a habit of reading the news and seeing what was happening every day through portal websites or social platforms with news attributes such as Weibo.
This is the only way to understand what was happening outside without leaving home.
After reading for a while, there was no big news.
The content of the news was repeatedly rehashing old news, all of which were news from two days ago.
He actually wanted to make Toutiao. In terms of technical difficulty, there really is no such thing. As for the intelligent algorithm that he was proud of, in fact, after analyzing the principle, you will find it very simple.
Simply get the information you browse, add tags to each article, and push related news by reading and writing browsing records.
But after careful consideration, he gave up.
The reason for choosing to give up is mainly because Weibo is climbing uphill at this time.
The emergence of Toutiao self-media is bound to attract a wave of users to Toutiao to do self-media
���As a result, there were fewer highlights for creating real-time exposure around Weibo.
In short, he did not intend to propose this project before Weibo completely defeated Penguin.
As for whether Zhang Yiming would make headlines like in his previous life, Su Chengyang was not worried.
As long as the model is established and enough money is invested, it will not be difficult to kill the other party.
The most urgent task is Weibo.
In his mind, Weibo is not just a social platform for complaining and exposing, but like QQ, it takes Weibo as the core to carry out social marketing, and through the built-in entrance method, it carries out social e-commerce, allowing those bloggers, especially celebrities and some fashion bloggers, to publish some fashion clothes, and the conversion rate is absolutely high, just like Xiaohongshu.
Carrying out e-commerce through the Internet celebrity effect is only one of them.
The second is web games, various web games, which is also one of the conversion methods.
Therefore, in his strategic planning, the use of Weibo is definitely not to become a gathering place for hostility like a certain Weibo.
Thinking of Weibo, Su Chengyang remembered the incident of Penguin blocking Weibo links 29 years ago. At that time, he asked Ji Yunsheng to sue. So much time has passed, and he is not clear about the progress.
He opened the QQ software, copied his personal Weibo homepage, and sent it to the work group, intending to see if Penguin still blocked the jump link.
Sure enough, the webpage address could not be clicked.
It seemed that Penguin was still holding on.
Su Chengyang quickly @ed Ji Yunsheng’s QQ number in the group and said,”Come to my office.”
Here, when Ji Yunsheng was copying the link address sent by Su Chengyang to the browser, he saw Su Chengyang asking him to go to the office, and he immediately got up and walked over.
“Dongdong~~”
“Come in”
“Chairman!”
Su Chengyang looked up and saw that it was Ji Yunsheng. He gestured for him to take a seat:”Come on, take a seat.”
“I have a question for you. I just tried it and Penguin is still blocking our link.”
“How is the progress of the lawsuit against Penguin? Why do I feel like there is no news?”
Seeing Ji Yunsheng sitting down, Su Chengyang asked the question in his mind.
“The case has been filed, but the trial has not yet begun!”
“It’s been almost two months, right? Why hasn’t the trial started yet?”
“Actually, it hasn’t been that long. Didn’t we negotiate with Penguin before? We talked for more than half a month but couldn’t come to an agreement. So last month, we found the best law firm in Yanjing, King & Wood Mallesons, and filed a lawsuit with the Haiding District Court. Including the time for collecting evidence, according to the time given at that time, the trial will be officially opened the day after tomorrow.”
Su Chengyang frowned slightly. He was not interested in this lawsuit. It didn’t matter if he won. Penguin still insisted and refused to lift the understanding. What could he do with Penguin?
Besides, paying compensation and apologizing were useless. What he wanted was pressure from public opinion, so that users would stand on the side of Weibo, build up the momentum, and get state agencies involved.
Force Penguin to lift the link restrictions.
This was the real reason why he sued Penguin.
“”Has the news of our lawsuit against Penguin been announced?” Su Chengyang asked.
Ji Yunsheng shook his head:”Not yet. Except for the two parties and their respective law firms, the news has not been leaked yet.”
Su Chengyang thought carefully for a while and said:”Well, let’s use the official Weibo account to send a court flyer later.”
“Then make it a big deal by making it a trending topic”
“We must denounce Penguin’s unfair competition and monopoly behavior”
“Remember, our main battlefield is not in the court, but in the public opinion battlefield outside.”
After saying that, Su Chengyang’s face suddenly became serious and solemn:”We must use public opinion to make state agencies come down, only in this way can we make Penguin afraid.”
Ji Yunsheng showed a look of realization, and then looked at Su Chengyang with admiration. After all, he is the boss, and he can see things farther, and he is still thinking about how to make Penguin lose the case.
Think about it, Penguin lost the case, and they were arrogant. Even if they apologized and didn’t unblock it, it still couldn’t solve the problem.
“Chairman, I understand.”
Su Chengyang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to ask more questions.
It’s not that Ji Yunsheng is stupid, but he thought too well of Penguin and thought that they would abide by the law. He didn’t know that Penguin was a gangster, otherwise it wouldn’t be hated by many companies in the Internet industry.
Otherwise, in the 3Q war, many Internet companies chose 360!
In short, BAT, including 360, are not good things, they are all gangsters who bully others by taking advantage of their power.
“By the way, how is your friend at Alibaba? Is he willing to come to us?”
“I have communicated with him on the phone and he is interested, but we still need to meet in person to discuss it in detail.”
“I think, if nothing unexpected happens, he should want to change jobs, otherwise he wouldn’t talk to me so much.”
“You should contact him as soon as possible and let him join the company as soon as possible. The sooner the better.”
Without the core link of payment, now there is a war with Penguin and the next group buying war. When the group buying battle comes, he will not accept investment from Ali, Penguin, or even Qiandu, which means that the three companies will not support Youtuan.com. The group buying market has great prospects and involves the payment strategy of Ali and Penguin, so it is inevitable for them to join the game.
Qiandu has a large amount of funds in hand, which is useless. After seeing the group buying track, it is bound to invest heavily.
Therefore, it is necessary to improve the online payment business as soon as possible. This is also the most urgent shortcoming of Shanhai Group.
After the meeting with Su Chengyang, Ji Yunsheng asked his subordinates to send out the court subpoena to sue Penguin, and reminded them to severely rebuke Penguin’s tyranny.
At 11 o’clock in the morning.
The official Weibo account posted a picture of the court subpoena and a text.
The title of the text is as follows:”Weibo sued Penguin Company, demanding the immediate lifting of the ban and an apology.”
Below the title is a long text. Although Weibo has character restrictions, it can be posted in the form of long Weibo.
The main text of the article: Recently, our company has received feedback from tens of thousands of users, saying that the Weibo link address cannot be used on Penguin’s social software QQ, and the jump link cannot be opened. After multiple verifications, the evidence is conclusive.
In order to provide a better user experience, our company has sent personnel to communicate with Penguin, hoping to cancel the link ban.
After many communications, Penguin refused to lift the ban on the grounds that”the link obtains user information and affects security. Such a ridiculous reason. Our company will fight to the end for such a domineering and arrogant approach. We say no to hegemony. Recently, we formally filed a lawsuit with the Yanjing Haiding District Court for ‘Penguin’s QQ social software abusing its market dominance.’…”
After the message was sent, Shanhai Network and even the entire Shanhai Group quickly forwarded it at the first opportunity.
After seeing the message, Su Chengyang also chose to forward it and wrote a paragraph:”The Internet is an open world. Some companies abuse their market dominance to block other companies, which is ultimately harmful to others and themselves….”
After writing this text, Su Chengyang clicked send.
Thanks to his nearly 4 million fans, the news was quickly spread and caused an uproar on the Internet.
“No wonder I can’t click on the Weibo link in QQ. It’s getting more and more blocked. Penguin is too fucking overbearing. It affects my user experience. I stand on Weibo for this matter.”
“Support Weibo. Penguin is a company that relies on its position in social software to suppress other companies at will. It is simply a gangster in the Internet industry.”
“Too shameless, shameless”
“I’ve known for a long time that Penguin is shameless. The new game our company developed was originally very good, but Penguin was shameless and directly plagiarized it….”
“Support Su Dad, the Internet world is open, not fenced in”
“Damn it, Xiao Ma, do you deserve a beating? How dare you block our Su Dad website?…”
“Blocking links without considering user experience at all, Penguin is really disgusting”
“Support Su Dad, support Weibo, and defeat Penguin, this comprador company”
“Upstairs, when did Penguin become a comprador company?”
“Don’t you know? Penguin’s major shareholder is Nanfei MIH Company, which is madly making money here and letting outsiders take away the money. Isn’t this compradorism?”
“Damn, this is the first time I heard of this. I didn’t expect that Penguin is not only disgusting, but also a fucking yellow-skinned and black-hearted comprador company. From today on, I will never play Penguin’s games again.”
“I support the above post. Penguins are not yellow-skinned and black-hearted. They are yellow-skinned and white-hearted. They are compradors and running dogs supported by white people.”……
In a short period of time, without human intervention, #Weibo sued Penguin for abusing its market dominance#
#Penguin Company’s background: the major shareholder is a foreign company#
#Su Chengyang said the Internet world should be open, implicitly criticizing Penguin for building barriers#…
Half an hour after it was posted, the news of Weibo suing Penguin became a hot topic, with over 50 million views, hundreds of thousands of reposts and comments, especially Su Chengyang’s comment, which received 134.43 million views in half an hour.
443
At the same time, many portals such as Xinlang, Wangyi, and Sohu were also reporting on this incident.
Some radical users, after learning that Penguin’s major shareholder was a foreign company, felt hurt and called the official Penguin customer service hotline to angrily scold them. Countless Penguin game users, and even various diamond users, shouted:
“Black-hearted penguin, give me back my money”
“Damn, it’s fine if they make money, if it was a Chinese company I would accept it, but I didn’t expect it to be such a black-hearted maggot, actually acting as a comprador running dog for foreigners, give me back my money”
“Give me back my money. If you don’t, I will come to your company and burn it down.”…
Penguin was also informed of such a big event and negative news. The head of Penguin’s public relations department immediately released news on its own portal website and Weibo products, claiming that Shanhai Network Company distorted the facts and argued that the blocking of links was to better protect the security of QQ users and prevent theft.
As for the fact that the major shareholder of Penguin was Nanfei MIH Company, he selectively ignored it.
However, Wu Xiaoguang’s statement and defense were not recognized, but instead attracted more fierce criticism.
“How shameless! You say it’s unsafe and that it’s for the protection of users, but haven’t we seen you block links to other websites?”
“Penguins are so disgusting. I didn’t realize it before, but now I think it’s so shameless.”…
“Traitor, you still have the nerve to quibble, get out of our Dragon Country, go to Africa and beg for mercy from your master, there is no such shameless person in our Dragon Country.”
Faced with overwhelming condemnation and scolding, Penguin will naturally not sit idly by. After the reply, Penguin’s legal department took action and immediately sued Shanhai Network, the operating company of Weibo, in Nanshan District, on the grounds of”malicious slander, distortion of facts, and demanding an immediate apology.”
After getting the red seal, it was immediately released on Penguin’s Weibo and its affiliated portals. In a short time, the news that Penguin counter-sued Weibo spread.
Ji Yunsheng, who got the news, laughed angrily and said,”This Penguin is really shameless. Don’t they know whether we have framed them or not?”
“I think what the netizens said is right, Penguin is too disgusting.”
Penguin originally thought that the counter-suit would muddy the waters, but in the end, the Penguin users who were exploited by Penguin games started to curse and leave all kinds of ugly words on Penguin Weibo. The words were so ugly that Wu Xiaoguang, the head of the public relations department, didn’t dare to open the comment area. He was afraid that he would vomit blood and die.
