Chapter 2006 Countermeasures
Latest website: Melissa went to sign agreements to build signal towers with the three major operators in the United States.
According to common sense, it is impossible to sign this kind of agreement with the three major operators.
After all, the three major operators themselves are also in a competitive relationship. If you cooperate with the three major operators, it is obviously impossible. This can easily lead to operators suffering losses due to competition with each other. In the end, the snipe and the clam will compete with each other, and the fishermen will benefit.
No one in this world is that stupid. Will sit back and watch others make easy money through themselves.
But this time, it is clear that the three major operators are jointly trying to trick Melissa, or in other words, the person behind the trick is FACEBOOK, who has recently become famous and has a lot of money. That is, Qin Feng.
Naturally, I signed it.
When signing the agreement, Melissa cleverly added a clause, that is, the signal tower will be built with independent funds from Facebook and will have its legal ownership. In the future, it will share 3G signal revenue with the three major operators. Its share agreement is 30%.
In other words, all signal towers are borne by Facebook, and Facebook receives 30% of its final service revenue.
From this point of view, the three major operators are very satisfied.
Of course, this does not mean that the three major operators will transmit signals from the same tower.
Rather, for each signal tower, whichever company signs a sharing agreement will share the share with Facebook. There will not really be absolute competition between them.
Of course, the three major operators also ignored this text trap created by Melissa.
Although Melissa marked the exclusive ownership of the signal tower in the contract. But at the same time, the 3G signal is divided into services and put into one section.
This can easily lead to misunderstanding. This is relatively ambiguous, including from a legal perspective. This is an easily litigable clause.
However, this ambiguity is what Melissa wants.
After all, the three major operators are not stupid, and the other party also has lawyers present. If you make it too obvious, the other party will definitely question it and then they won't sign the agreement.
Therefore, after specifically consulting with a lawyer, carefully considering and discussing the details, and carefully analyzing the situation of future litigation,
The legal team gave such terms.
In the end, if the 3G signal ends and the other party files a lawsuit. So, although there are doubts about the ownership of the signal tower, there is one thing that is beneficial to Qin Feng.
That's time.
If you want to file a lawsuit, fine. We are here to accompany you.
But during the lawsuit, the ownership of the signal tower belonged to Qin Feng.
This means that the other party cannot obtain the right to use the signal tower before winning the lawsuit.
Leaving aside whether we can win, for this period of time, the three major operators may not be able to afford it.
After all, this kind of lawsuit, especially when the terms are so ambiguous, and the signal tower is built solely by Facebook, the lawsuit will not be completed in three to five years.
Of course, the legal fees involved will be astronomical.
However, time will also be delayed for a long time. Three to five years is normal, and it may even be delayed to seven, eight, or ten years.
During this period, the signal towers were completely owned by Facebook, and the three major operators were a bit blind.
If the signal tower at a key location is occupied, they will be in trouble.
When the signal interferes, all the costs they invested in the early stage will be wasted.
When the time comes, they will take advantage of the fact that time waits for no one to force them to sign a follow-up cooperation agreement. An out-of-court settlement was reached.
This is the plan formulated by Facebook’s legal team.
To say that Facebook is now equipped with a team of lawyers is a bit too exaggerated and too early.
How can any company equip a dedicated team of lawyers so early? This is obviously a bit excessive.
But there was no way, Qin Feng opened Facebook on Harvard campus. Moreover, it was promised that Harvard would give priority to recruiting graduates and provide part-time opportunities for current Harvard students.
In this case, it is not an exaggeration at all, nor does it exceed the standard at all, to equip a dedicated team of lawyers in advance.
However, Harvard is one of the top universities in the world, a first-class university. The team of lawyers may not be the best in the world. But they are also the most elite group.
With so many people brainstorming ideas, the ideas are naturally good.
The only disadvantage is that it may incur huge legal fees.
At that time, the three major operators may use their strong financial resources to force Facebook to compromise because it cannot afford the huge legal fees.
However, this point was resolved by Melissa's legal team after discussion.
That is, if there is really going to be a lawsuit, all Harvard Law School students will be mobilized to welcome the graduates and treat it as a final graduation thesis.
As long as the lawsuit is won, the graduation thesis will be qualified. Otherwise, you will fail the exam.
Let the entire graduating class of Harvard Law School sort this out. At that time, not only may it not cost a penny, but it will also unleash the potential of all law school students.
This is to use the power of an entire college, or the power of the world's number one college, to fight against the opponent's team of lawyers.
By then, the legal fees will be almost zero.
Because if you treat it as a graduation thesis, then you don’t have to spend money. Of course, you still have to spend money on appropriate tea and drinks. Daily living allowance expenses still need to be spent appropriately.
Moreover, after you win, you always have to hold a celebration party, and you also need the money.
But compared to the sky-high legal fees, that's not worth mentioning.
On the contrary, the three major operators may not be able to bear such a price.
After all, spend some tea money on the side. On the other hand, there are sky-high legal fees. Comparing the two, there is a natural gap.
As for the subsequent lawsuit if the other party is not convinced, that's easy.
The graduation thesis of Harvard Law School graduates each year will suffice.
There are graduates every year, and naturally there is cheap labor every year.
If this continues, Facebook can continue to consume money. In the end, let’s see who can’t defeat whom.
The only thing is that it requires approval from Harvard.
This point has also been analyzed by the legal team.
With the current relationship between Facebook and Harvard, and the relationship between Qin Feng and the college, there is basically no need to worry about these.
I believe that Harvard will definitely be willing to achieve such cooperation.
After all, for any institution, the most troublesome thing is always the internship. How to help students enter the workplace faster is the most important thing.
Otherwise, no matter how much you learn, it’s all just talk on paper.
But now, there is such a good opportunity. I believe Harvard is willing to achieve such cooperation.
After all, this kind of workplace practice is much more useful than writing a paper.
