Chapter 632: The Entanglement of Open and Covert Attacks

S Club, as the largest domestic PC sales company, has been the agent for the sales of branded computers of major foreign companies including IBM, Compaq, HP, Dell, etc., as well as the sales of S Club's own brand compatible computers, with an annual shipment of more than two million units.

With such a large scale, it is naturally the main battlefield for pre-installing genuine software, which will naturally attract the attention of domestic and foreign software vendors. In fact, many domestic and foreign software vendors have established a long-term contact mechanism with S Club to cooperate in pre-installed software.

Fan Ting's principle in this matter is to collect as much free software as possible and create a software package that is effective and does not require much investment. However, Fan Wubing's view is different from that of his elder sister Fan Ting. He believes that using free things alone will form a vicious cycle. Once everyone is used to free dinners, if one day they really find that everything starts to charge, the psychological gap will be even greater.

Moreover, if only the use of free software is promoted, the domestic original software business will inevitably become a wilderness due to the lack of profit drive, which will eventually lead to the comprehensive collapse of the domestic software business.

"When software authors find that the software they have worked so hard to develop cannot get market returns, who will still spend that kind of effort? You should know that developing a good software requires not only time and energy, but also more money and material efforts, which are visible, but those invisible efforts cannot be quantified." Fan Wubing said.

Based on this orientation, the S Club has also been continuously analyzing and sorting out the works of original software authors at home and abroad in recent years, sorting out software with market value, and promoting their software through its own sales platform through various means such as copyright buyout or authorized paid use.

Aiming at the needs of users in different industries, the S Club has promoted industry software and tool software released by more than 300 domestic and foreign software authors in the past three years, and has also sorted out more than 100 software collection packages as software packages provided by the S Club for end users.

Through the sales model of the S Club, which provides free ordinary software and charges for upgraded software, domestic software authors have also received good returns. Many excellent software authors have become professional software authors worth more than one million because their original software has been recognized by the market, and have the time, energy and money to support themselves to continue to develop in the path of software originality.

In fact, individual users rarely need so many tool software or industry software. Generally, users who have such needs often have commercial purposes. For example, a very simple business software for inventory management can help computer users in the retail industry to greatly improve their work efficiency and achieve the purpose of effective management. Therefore, this kind of ordinary industry software with a low charge is the variety with the largest overall profit.

In addition, similar to audio and video tools, or educational software,

is also the most popular part. Courseware software that integrates domestic educational resources has good sales in primary and secondary schools and some areas with good hardware foundation.

Through the implementation of this strategy, the s club has formed an effective group of genuine software users in China. The biggest feeling is that users who use paid software can get a lot of technical services, just like the services they provide to users of domestic retail sales and inventory management software. They not only provide them with daily maintenance, but also provide them with some business data in major cities in China. They only need to join the network cooperation plan of the s club and pay a certain annual service fee every year. They can get the sensitive data they need through the network of Fanshi Investment Group, and it is updated in real time.

Especially after the promotion of Huafeng.com, network marketing work has also begun to be carried out vigorously. Through the method of trying first and then ordering the official version online, within two months after the official operation of Huafeng.com, more than 20,000 users have ordered various software promoted by Huafeng.com, and the total sales have exceeded 5 million yuan, and the prognosis is good.

The most important thing is that Fan Wubing gathered the original Kingsoft people under his command, and the e word processing software system he developed is not only small in size, but also more in line with the habits of the Chinese people. Since its launch, the sales situation has been very hot, and it has become a leader in domestic national software. Based on this, the S Club has also made great progress in the development of industry software. These software are expanding their influence to a larger space through the sales platform of Huafeng.com.

But there is also one thing, which is that the pre-installation of the S98 series is not very active.

Fan Wubing's policy on the pre-installation of operating system software is "no installation unless required."

The meaning of this sentence shows how much resentment Fan Wubing has for Microsoft. Basically, it can be said that Fan Wubing is an active promoter of anti-Microsoft policies.

They will only do this when users strongly demand the S series operating system. As for general computers, they are pre-installed with a free S system. For users who want to install the S system but are unwilling to spend more money, the S Club recommends that they first learn the software installation steps from the company's staff and then solve the problem themselves.

As for solving this matter by themselves, no matter how the users mess around, it has nothing to do with the S Club.

Microsoft's position on the issue of pre-installing operating systems on compatible machines by the S Club this time is in great conflict with Microsoft's S sales strategy. They believe that the practice of the S Club is essentially condoning piracy.

Because of market practice, it is impossible to sell bare machines to end users. The influence of the S operating system in the market, and by pre-installing free operating systems or not installing operating systems, encouraging or acquiescing to users to use pirated operating systems has already caused great damage to Microsoft's commercial interests.

What annoyed Microsoft the most was that the S Club staff trained end users for free to learn how to install the S series operating system.

After all, as long as you are interested, you can spend ten yuan to buy a pirated S98 CD in the market, and it doesn't take much effort to go back and install it, but within this half an hour, a pirated user of Microsoft was born.

In the software industry, piracy is almost inevitable.

As early as 1976, when Chinese people did not have computers, Bill Gates wrote an open letter to computer enthusiasts, complaining that unauthorized use was too common, resulting in little return for the newly established Microsoft. This letter is quite famous and is regarded as the real beginning of software earning income through commercial licensing.

In 1992, Microsoft entered China. Four years later, Bill Gates came to Shanghai and was very excited, but he was also very confused. Why are so many Chinese using S software, while Microsoft's performance in China at this time is terrible, and its sales volume is not even comparable to Malaysia?

A study conducted by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) shows that the software piracy rate in China is as high as more than 90%. In China, you can buy pirated Microsoft S operating systems and other commonly used famous software for more than ten yuan.

In anger, Bill Gates told the world in Fortune magazine this year that Chinese people don't spend money to buy software, but like to steal. But "as long as they want to steal, we hope they steal ours." The saying "Chinese are thieves" is very famous among Chinese users and is understood as "because users will be addicted, Microsoft's harvest in the next ten years can be calculated."

Although Microsoft has not officially explained this incident, according to the principle that silence is tacit, it is still very likely that Bill Gates said this.

It's just that Fan Wubing didn't expect Bill Gates to publicly condemn the S Club. This matter seemed a bit unbelievable to him. I wonder what stimulated Bill Gates to be so impulsive?

However, Fan Wubing soon got the latest information. It turned out that Bill Gates' complaint about piracy was related to the investigation results of the US Federal District Court's announcement of Microsoft's monopoly case. Not long ago, the US Federal District Court announced that Microsoft's monopoly was established. US Attorney General Reno said that this is a big day for American consumers, and Silicon Valley is also cheering.

It should be said that Bill Gates may have the intention to solve the piracy problem in the Chinese market, but it is not realistic at present. His more intention is to use this to distract attention and prove his non-monopoly position.

If someone pirates your software and causes market monopoly, then who should be held responsible?

If we must say that pirated users have their own substantive justice, that is legal ignorance, because we know that Microsoft must have the right to describe pirated users as thieves from a legal perspective, but if we must say that pirated users should be eradicated fundamentally, that is not a rational attitude, because after all, it is this group that helped Microsoft occupy the huge terminal market, squeeze out other operating systems, and form a dominant market position. Now that the conspiracy is complete, it is openly asking the market for a price and requiring pirated users to pay all tuition fees. Microsoft seems more like a robber with legal programs.

In principle, Fan Wubing is against piracy, because it not only harms the interests of countless software original authors, but also harms the entire computer industry.

Once everyone refuses to provide services because they cannot get a return for their efforts, the entire software industry will suffer a catastrophe, and the entire computer industry will collapse as a result, which will in turn affect the entire social development.

However, Fan Wubing does not agree with Microsoft's approach, because if Microsoft's pricing strategy is implemented, the domestic computer industry will never develop.

For a long time, Microsoft has been implementing a global unified pricing strategy. The normal price of s98 is about 199 US dollars. However, the average monthly salary of the American is 3,000 US dollars, while the average monthly salary of the Chinese is only more than 100 US dollars. Who is willing to spend a month's salary on a piece of software?

In fact, the domestic price of s98 is 1,998 yuan, which is higher than the foreign price. It can be said to be a discriminatory price.

Or, Bill Gates believes that not many Chinese users will buy genuine products, so he simply formulates a high price strategy, or Microsoft does this to restrict the development of China's computer industry.

For Chinese users, if there is a price that is relatively reasonable relative to the income level, who is willing to be a thief as Gates said? Microsoft also understands this contradiction very well and tries to resolve it, such as giving away or promoting it to schools and government agencies in some regions, which has benefited some students and institutions.

A few months ago, Microsoft made an open compromise to the unreasonableness of its pricing policy. It charged a symbolic fee of one dollar per system for tens of thousands of pirated systems used by the Indonesian government. At the same time, the other party promised not to use pirated software in the future, and Microsoft regarded it as a legitimate user. Afterwards, the Indonesian Minister of Information also said that Microsoft's move was realistic. Due to economic factors, they cannot force us developing countries to use only genuine software.

In general, Fan Wubing was still very unhappy that the S Club was involved in this pirated software dispute. At least he thought that if Microsoft wanted to point fingers at his company, it still needed to produce some real evidence. After all, the computers in his company were all using pre-installed genuine operating systems. As for the end users, did he have the obligation to urge them to buy software that was actually in a monopoly position in the industry?

However, Fan Wubing had not thought about it for long when the beautiful reporter of "Eastern News Interview" called him and hoped to interview him about this matter.

"Is your foot injury healed?" Fan Wubing asked with a smile after answering her call.

Last time, Sheng Wei almost fell down the stairs because she invited Fan Wubing to dinner. Fortunately, Fan Wubing was quick to stop her, but she still sprained her ankle and was carried back by Fan Wubing, which almost caused some misunderstandings.

Sheng Wei replied, "It's almost healed, but I can't do strenuous exercise yet. The doctor said that the soft tissue is a little damaged, but it's okay. I'm still taking medicine."

After thinking about it, Fan Wubing also felt that he needed to make some voices in the media to respond to the accusations of Microsoft and Bill Gates and to show his position on this matter.

However, before Sheng Wei came over, Fan Ting called from Beijing and asked how to deal with this matter? Fan Ting complained, "Microsoft's actions are really unfair. Didn't they deliberately condone piracy and reduce the difficulty of piracy in exchange for market share? Now they know it's time to close the net?"

"You can't blame Microsoft for this matter-" Fan Wubing said with a smile, "Yes, Microsoft did not really fight piracy in the past, this is a fact, but you have to know that piracy is illegal. Microsoft only has the right to provide evidence and apply to the court to rule that the other party is illegal, and it has no obligation to exercise this right. So, even if they don't fight piracy, you can't say they are responsible. It's like you have a jar of gold in your house, put it outside, and someone takes it away. Taking it without telling is an act of stealing. You can choose to go to court to sue him for theft, or you can choose not to ask about this matter. This is your freedom. It doesn't mean that you must go to court to sue him. Rights and obligations are two different things."

"What should we do? This matter has a very bad impact on our reputation. Many colleagues are waiting to watch the fun." Fan Ting asked Fan Wubing with some annoyance.

Fan Wubing thought about it and replied, "Well, don't do anything about it. I'll accept an interview in Shanghai and then publish it as the company's response. Everything else will remain the same."

"Well, you're better at dealing with these things." Fan Ting nodded in agreement.

In fact, Fan Ting also knew that her brother Fan Wubing had the most tricks and would find some twisted theories to deal with others. He could just go around and around to confuse people. It would be best for him to deal with these things.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Wubing leaned back in his chair to think about things. Luo Susu called and informed Fan Wubing, "Brother Wubing, there's a beautiful reporter looking for you outside. She said she had an appointment. Her name is Sheng Wei. She's pretty, but she doesn't seem to be very flexible."

"She sprained her ankle. What's the meaning of not being flexible?" Fan Wubing laughed dumbly, "You can come up with her. Use my exclusive elevator."

"Hey, we'll be there soon." Luo Susu agreed and hung up the phone.

"Miss Sheng, Mr. Fan asked me to go up with you. Please." Luo Susu put down the phone, handed over the work at hand to others, and then helped Sheng Wei, who was still a little inconvenient, into Fan Wubing's exclusive elevator and went straight to the top floor.

After Sheng Wei thanked him, he said to Luo Susu, "There are all handsome men and beautiful women in Fan's Investment Group, especially the front desk ladies, each one is more beautiful than the other. It seems that your Mr. Fan has very high requirements."

Luo Susu smiled and replied, "Not necessarily. The company's senior executives are all very good-looking and cunning."

Luo Susu originally worked in a Beijing company, but this time it happened that the school had an early winter vacation, and she didn't plan to go home, so she followed Fan Wubing to Shanghai to experience the living atmosphere of the headquarters, and then ran around Shanghai to meet her shopping needs.

To be fair, although there are many foreigners among the senior executives of Fan Investment Group, they are not that shabby. It is because their image was ruined after the last collective entertainment was caught that they were talked about by the employees. Because of this incident, they have been much more honest recently. However, when they are dedicated to their work, it is hard for the employees, and they have more things to deal with.

After the two people got on the elevator, they went directly to the top floor of the headquarters. Fan Wubing was already waiting for them.

After meeting Sheng Wei, Fan Wubing greeted her warmly, and then asked Russell to help her to the botanical garden on the top floor to drink tea and chat together.

"Wow -" Sheng Wei was shocked when she saw the botanical garden on the top floor of Fan Wubing.

After a long period of management, Fan Wubing realized that the botanical garden on the top floor had become a large collection of tropical plants. The room was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. After a short period of observation, Sheng Wei unexpectedly discovered It is really amazing to find that there are all kinds of colorful birds here.

Russell also liked the environment here very much. She went out to get tea-making equipment, then placed the things on the table in the botanical garden, and then boiled water for tea.

Regardless of the discomfort in her ankle, Sheng Wei struggled to see all the plants in the garden and teased the little birds that were obviously not afraid of outsiders. Then she sat down and spoke to Fan Wubing with emotion. Said, "Mr. Fan's company is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but there is such a good place."

"I don't have any big ambitions. I just like to enjoy myself. This botanical garden is just a whim. In fact, I don't spend much time at the headquarters, only two months out of the year." Fan Wubing He replied with a smile.

In fact, this botanical garden is basically run automatically. It basks in the sun when it's time to bask in the sun, water automatically when it's time to water, and when it's time to get rid of pests, it's natural for those little birds to do the pest control, which means that people occasionally need to come up. Prune them. After all, plants will not prune themselves. They will only turn yellow and wither.

After Sheng Wei sighed with emotion, Russell's tea was also boiled. After the three of them drank it, Sheng Wei turned on the recorder and carried the laptop on his back, ready to start the interview.

When Fan Wubing saw this, he said, "If you interview me in the future, you won't need so many things. I have everything here. After the interview, I will ask someone to sort out the recording. Then we will finalize the manuscript and send the transcript directly." Just send it and the picture to your email, very convenient. ”

"I don't trust that thing very much, for fear of losing my manuscript." Sheng Wei expressed his worry.

"That's not the case. As long as the email address is correct, at least our Huafeng.com email server will not lose the manuscript. Let Susu tell the office later and let them arrange a p. Just use your email address, it’s a great service and it’s definitely easy to use,” Fan Wubing said to her.

Having said this, Sheng Wei couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fan, I would like to ask you, is Huafeng.com's email service going to be a free service or a paid service?"

"It should be said that free and paid models coexist." Fan Wubing said clearly, "Most of the current websites, in order to attract as many Internet users as possible, are promoting free email models. At the same time, they are also promoting free email models. Using some small favors to attract users' attention is not a business model worth advocating in the long run, and it has no future. After all, if a website is not profitable, it is impossible to continue to do so, and the users' interests are at stake. Rights and interests cannot be guaranteed forever. What these users will face in the future may be the collapse of the website, and the e-mail service and other value-added services they have used for a long time will be forced to give up. The impact may be huge. Therefore, Our Huafeng.com has been walking on two legs from the beginning. For ordinary users, you can choose the free model that meets the basic functions, while for enterprise users or advanced users who have special requirements for their own services, we implement the paid p charging model. , this charging model is more reliable, more powerful, and easier to use.”

"In this case, wouldn't it divide users into three, six or nine? Isn't this the opposite of the popularization and free purpose of the Internet?" Sheng Wei did not mention his sharpness just because he was familiar with Fan Wubing. question.

Fan Wubing immediately replied, "This statement itself is incorrect. The purpose of the Internet is to popularize it, but making it free is obviously unscientific. We can enjoy the sharing of knowledge for free, but for services Enjoyment cannot be free unless the other party is voluntary. Services such as email are actually value-added services and cannot be permanently free or completely free, even if free users use these services in the future. At the same time, we will also get some economic returns for the website through methods such as adding advertising banners. But in any case, compared with free ones, everyone has different choices. Rich people can live in villas, while ordinary people can live in villas. You can live in a unit, and you can also get shelter from wind and rain, but the difference is just in enjoyment. We will not ignore the basic needs of ordinary users for the sake of charging. After all, the Internet is supported by everyone.”

"Thank you very much for your answer, Mr. Fan. Your point of view is at least more convincing than those website CEOs who advertise that it will always be free." After hearing this, Sheng Wei replied with a smile.

"Beautiful reporter, please add some more water." Russell Su saw that the water boiled again, so he changed Sheng Wei's tea leaves and added more water.

"Very good. Mixing different tea leaves together will cause diarrhea?" Sheng Wei thanked her and then asked with some doubts.

"Probably not, they are all similar breeds -" Fan Wubing didn't have much confidence, "But it doesn't matter even if it is diarrhea, just treat it as weight loss."

"I've been very thin recently, and I'm thinking about gaining weight -" Sheng said with a smile.

To be honest, Sheng Wei's figure is indeed very skinny. It looks natural and eye-catching, and she has a perfect clothes rack. However, if you consider how it feels to the touch, she is still a little uncomfortable. She said she wanted to gain weight, but that's not true. A very wise choice. Fan Wubing glanced at Sheng Wei and nodded, thinking that this level is enough. It would be a bit scary if he lost weight and looked like a female host on Phoenix TV. Apart from the bones, there was not a ounce of meat to be found.

The last time Fan Wubing held Sheng Wei in his arms, he felt that the weight was quite light.

"Then let's have something to eat. I have some good snacks here." Fan Wubing said and looked for them from under his table, but unfortunately found that these things seemed to be a little hairy.

"Maybe the ambient humidity here is relatively high." Both beauties covered their mouths and laughed.

Fan Wubing called and asked the staff to bring some food, and then asked, "How about eating here at night? It's also nice to turn off the lights and watch the night view."

Sheng Wei hesitated for a moment, thinking that Luo Su was also present and was not alone. There was nothing wrong with having a candlelight dinner, so she agreed. In fact, she loved this aerial botanical garden very much. It might be a good decision to have dinner here.

Next, Sheng Wei started working again and asked Fan Wubing what he thought of Bill Gates' recent remarks about the S Club.

"There must be a lot of opinions." Fan Wubing rubbed his forehead and replied, "I think Microsoft's accusations against S Club are unreasonable."

"How can you see it?" Sheng Wei asked.

Once engaged in work, Sheng Wei immediately entered the state with all his heart. At this time, personal relationships and other matters were temporarily put on the sidelines. Even after the interview, everyone could still exchange opinions on the revision of the manuscript. And to the extent that both parties are satisfied, but at this time, the words are sharp and will hit the point every time.

"We have been committed to the promotion of genuine software, such as e, and various anti-virus software. In fact, with the help of Huafeng.com's sales platform, at least 300 original software authors in China have benefited from this. We are It has merit in promoting the usage of genuine software,” Fan Wubing said eloquently, “Even if it is Microsoft’s S series software, we give them the same treatment, at least within our entire Fan Investment Group. The operating systems used are all genuine Microsoft products, which shows that our support for genuine software is definitely not empty talk. Therefore, some of Microsoft's accusations against us are inappropriate. "

"So, will your company respond positively to these accusations from Microsoft and possibly resort to legal means?" Sheng Wei asked with great interest.

"Haha, that's not the case." Fan Wubing said with a smile, "Mr. Bill Gates probably just said something out of anger for a moment. He cannot be too familiar with the operations of Fan's Investment Group or S Club, so he suffered Deception is also possible. In fact, the personal relationship between me and Mr. Gates is quite good, and in fact, I am also one of the important shareholders of Microsoft, and there is no possibility of harming the interests of my own shareholders. We have not filed a lawsuit against S Club, and there is no need for us to file a lawsuit against Mr. Gates because of a single sentence. Doing so is meaningless and a waste of precious judicial resources.”

Sheng Wei nodded and took note of Fan Wubing's words, and then asked, "Recently, Microsoft has launched an anti-piracy storm in response to the problem of domestic pirate users, and the problem of domestic enterprises using pirated software has also started with Yadu Company. It looks like a storm is about to come, what does Mr. Fan think of this matter?"

"I have noticed it at this time, but I personally think that this matter will probably end in an anticlimax." Fan Wubing answered with certainty.

Not long ago, Yadu Technology Company, which produces humidifiers, received a subpoena from the Intellectual Property Department of the Beijing Intermediate People's Court. The simple content of the complaint is that Yadu Company used pirated software, and Microsoft demanded compensation of 2.2 million yuan.

The complaint filed by Microsoft China claimed that the plaintiff’s authorized agent, China United Intellectual Property Investigation Center, discovered at the defendant’s office that the defendant had copied and used twelve types of software including Microsoft’s Windows through pirated CDs without the plaintiff’s permission. About fifty computers used by the defendant for business were equipped with pirated Microsoft software.

Microsoft believes that Yadu's behavior has directly caused it a market loss of more than 800,000 yuan. In accordance with the Copyright Law, Computer Software Protection Regulations and relevant international conventions, it requires Yadu to immediately stop the infringement, publicly apologize, and compensate 1.5 million yuan. RMB.

After this incident, Yadu Group held a meeting to explain the relevant situation, saying that these software were definitely not purchased by the company or used for professional purposes, and that Microsoft's move was intended to shock the company.

Subsequently, reports of Microsoft spreading its anti-piracy net to Chinese companies appeared in the newspapers. There were also incidents one after another. Yadu announced the use of Kingsoft software, and Wu Shihong resigned from the position of general manager of Microsoft China. Yadu accused Microsoft of evading customs duties, and Be prepared to file a lawsuit.

Some people say that from encouraging piracy to combating piracy, Microsoft software is like marijuana, making you addicted and bankrupt. Some people say that there is a powerful force behind Microsoft. What makes me particularly sad is the misunderstanding and prejudice from many domestic companies and domestic people. During this period, "Being a Zhou Shuren is still a Zhou Zuoren", "Capitalism helps idle hangers-on", "Monopoly, parasitism and dying enterprises have a natural reactionality", "Ropes, shackles, tragedy, battlefield", "Caught off guard" ", "China can say no" and other IT versions have also appeared in the newspapers.

This case attracted great attention from all parties. The U.S. testimony was signed by the then U.S. Secretary of State Albright and Washington State Secretary of State Munro, which obviously received support from the U.S. government.

Putting Yadu in the dock is actually just a small part of Microsoft's massive anti-piracy plan. It is said that Microsoft is preparing to invest more than 100 million US dollars in mobilizing notary and law enforcement forces in some central cities across the country to include many well-known Chinese companies on the investigation list, including some large companies such as Shenzhen Huawei and Peking University Founder.

The reason why Fan's Investment Group was not included in the anti-piracy list is probably because they know very well that the office computers used by Fan's Investment Group are pre-installed with genuine software.

According to estimates, if Yadu Company has fifty computers and Microsoft demands compensation of 2.2 million yuan, Chinese consumers will have to pay at least 2,000 yuan in compensation to repay Microsoft's debt.

What needs to be noted at this time is that although Yadu said that some computers did have non-genuine Microsoft software installed, the backlash and saliva caused by this move in China almost drowned Microsoft. Microsoft's big-stick policy in China sparked an anti-Microsoft wave among the Chinese people. While this incident was still in the litigation stage, it led to the resignation of Microsoft's China president and legendary woman Wu Shihong.

However, Wu Shihong herself obviously complained about this matter. After she resigned, she made four criticisms of Microsoft. First, Microsoft's price strategy should be lowered. Second, Microsoft should not be as anti-piracy as it is now. Third, Microsoft's There are problems with the internal structure, and fourth, there are problems with the corporate culture.

No matter what the motivation of Wu Shihong's words is, everyone can always find more reasons to oppose Microsoft's anti-piracy behavior.

Fan Wubing told Sheng Wei, “In fact, this is not only a form of resistance used by Microsoft to oppose their monopoly behavior in the U.S. Federal District Court, but also a confrontation between the Chinese and American governments on intellectual property issues. To We know that there is not necessarily right and wrong and justice, but only a relationship of interests. In other words, the conflict of interests between China and the United States is the reason why Microsoft suddenly wants to high-profile anti-piracy. Without government support, it is obviously impossible for Microsoft to do this in one fell swoop.”

"What does President Fan think the outcome of the Yadu case will be?" Sheng Wei asked.

"Asking me about this matter seems a bit out of line." Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "From a legal perspective, Microsoft's actions are not inappropriate. What is special is that some public opinion now compares the case itself with the Chinese nation. Our interests are closely related to the development of the IT information industry, but the final judgment must be based on facts and the law. As far as we at Fanshi Investment Group are concerned, we always strive to put ourselves in our customers’ shoes and provide the best service. , instead of seeking to control customers. Numerous cases from the past to the present have shown that people who try to control others ultimately have no good results.”

After Sheng Wei finished memorizing it, he thanked him, "Mr. Fan, you said it very well. This sentence can be used as a conclusion."

While the three people were joking, the staff downstairs said that the dinner ordered from the hotel had been contacted and could be delivered at any time.

"Then let's have dinner. It's just getting dark, so it's time to light candles." Fan Wubing said with a smile.
