Chapter 1229 Lawyer's Letter
"Internet cafes are different from traditional infringement objects!" Yang Yuanqing continued to say from the side, "The owner of the Internet cafe uses computers to engage in commercial activities, so the nature of the infringement will be even more serious!"
"Secondly, Internet cafes are not like companies and individual users. Their computers are placed in public and everyone can testify for you. They use a pirated Windows system, which is correct."
"The most important thing is that the homes of these Internet cafe owners are all on these machines. Once the lawsuit is successful, these Internet cafe owners must pay the infringement fee, otherwise their business license will be deducted and will not be able to operate at all."
"So as long as Microsoft sues these Internet cafes, the Internet cafe owners will only have the option of paying for the system authorization fee, otherwise what awaits them will be forced to close. And now there are not too many Internet cafes across the country, so Microsoft can sue them all."
"In fact, I think as long as I send a lawyer's letter in advance, telling them that if the consequences of not paying the authorization fee, these bosses will weigh the pros and cons by themselves, so at that time there will be only a few hundred companies that really need to sue to deal with it!"
"These Internet cafes currently have at least 100,000 computers, and each computer charges an authorization fee of RMB 1,000. 100,000 computers is an authorization fee of RMB 100,000, which is equivalent to an additional fee of more than 10 million US dollars!" Yang Yuanqing's voice, like a demon, kept echoing in Du Jiabin's ears.
More importantly, Du Jiabin understands that Yang Yuanqing is right. As long as he sues himself, victory will definitely belong to him. He dare not pay for these things, otherwise they will not want to continue to operate. It’s just that just one lawyer’s letter can make a good deal of tens of millions of dollars!
"Why should I tell me this on my own initiative?" Du Jiabin looked at Yang Yuanqing, with confusion in his eyes.
"It's very simple, because we, Meiliang, pay up to $30 million in authorization fees every year, but these Internet cafes are paying a penny. We feel unbalanced. Why are we the only ones paying for it? This is unfair, right?" Yang Yuanqing smiled.
"If your company does not take decisive actions and allows these commercially operated Internet cafes to use the Windows system freely without paying any authorization fees, then I think there is no need for us, Meiliang, to continue to pay the authorization fees!" Yang Yuanqing said at the end, and this sentence directly threatened Microsoft.
"Someone actually threatened Microsoft to collect the genuine authorization fee!" Du Jiabin shook his head incredible, but Yang Yuanqing was right. This money must be collected, otherwise Microsoft will really become the SB of Tianzi No. 1.
Maybe Meiliang, the only customer, will disappear.
"So, goodbye!" Yang Yuanqing said, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"But this guy is also vicious!" Du Jiabin looked at Yang Yuanqing's back deeply. He was unwilling to give up and was about to cheat the entire Internet cafe industry in China. It was simply...
"But I like it!" Du Jiabin smiled slightly. No matter how cruel Yang Yuanqing was, this was an absolutely good thing for Microsoft. As long as Internet cafes in China want to buy computers in the future, they must pay the authentic authorization fee to Microsoft.
There are 100,000 computers now, and in the future it will be 1 million, or even 2 million.
Then Microsoft China will have a huge profit of hundreds of millions of dollars. With this performance, it is best for him to transfer Du Jiabin back to the United States headquarters and take a step further in Microsoft!
"So there is really a good thing about falling pies in the sky!" Du Jiabin smiled and then began to instruct his subordinates to take action.

"Boss, your letter!" In the early morning sunshine, Zhang Zhahui, who had just gotten up from the lounge, felt comfortable and saw the letter sent by the postman.
"Someone actually sent me a letter!" Zhang Zhahui was very surprised when he heard his own letter. He had lived for decades and had never received a letter sent to him by others!
"Boss, you must be rich, and your relatives and friends know about it. Didn't you speak well? Isn't you know about it in the downtown area? Do you have distant relatives in the mountain village?" The Internet administrator of the Internet cafe, Zhang Zhahui's brother, said with a smile.
"You kid, you can speak idioms!" Zhang Zhahui smiled. Zhang Zhahui is really proud now.
In less than half a year, all the funds and costs he invested in the Internet cafe were recovered. Now he has made a net profit of nearly 50,000 yuan, which is even more profitable than his father working in Daqian.
Now he, Zhang Zhahui, is already a celebrity in the entire courtyard. Wu Mengtian, who once looked down on him in the yard, was admitted to college, and now he is shy at himself all day long.
Unfortunately, Zhang Zhahui no longer looks down on Wu Mengtian now. He has a new girlfriend, a little beauty from the art academy. He is only in high school. That kind of spirit, Zhang Zhahui no longer looks down on Wu Mengtian, who once seemed unattainable.
More importantly, Zhang Zhahui now has some more ambitious plans, first increasing the number of computers in his Internet cafe to 1,000, becoming the largest Internet cafe in Yuzhang.
Secondly, he created other Internet cafes in several other areas of Yuzhang City, so that his Blue Speed Internet cafes become a nationally famous chain Internet cafe, and Zhang Zhahui can also become a business giant.
Ahem, but now I will still clean up the boss first. "Diablo OL" has recently updated the upper limit of level 35, and has also launched many interesting maps and bosses, as well as brand new equipment. Zhang Zhahui is still the number one player in Zone 1.
Well, although Zhang Zhahui can no longer devote all his energy to the game, his account is his two brothers taking turns to help, which is probably the earliest proxy training.
After thinking about so many things, Zhang Zhahui suddenly realized that he had not even read the letter.
Shaking his head helplessly, then looking at the envelope curiously, it turned out that the letter was actually mailed from the imperial capital, and the mailing party wrote "Microsoft China Company"
What the hell is Microsoft China? It sells health products?
Also, God knows how Zhang Zhahui opened an Internet cafe, but he doesn’t even know what Microsoft is.
Zhang Zhahui opened the envelope with some disappointment and found that the text inside was printed out. There was not much content in the letter, and Zhang Zhahui finished reading it in less than a minute. Then he felt cold all over and found his own network administrator and asked, "Xiao Wu, are the systems used in our Internet cafes the same Microsoft system?"
"Yes!" The network administrator looked at his boss curiously, not knowing why his boss asked such a naive question, but he added very diligently, "Now the Internet cafes in China use the Windows 95 system produced by Microsoft. Is there any problem?"
"Then is the system we use genuine?" Zhang Zhahui asked again.
"What genuine version? How do you ask me this question? Shouldn't you ask yourself?" Xiao Wu complained in his heart that whether the computer system has paid the fee is of course the boss knows himself, so how can he, a network administrator, know?
Of course, with Xiao Wu’s understanding of computer systems, his Internet cafe system must be pirated. In fact, the systems used in all Chinese Internet cafes are pirated. Is there any problem?
"It should...not..." Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and then said.
