Chapter 533 Declare war on piracy? The boss is so willful

On December 5, Wu Ruohan was discharged from the hospital and returned to Wanliu Hua Mansion for confinement.

For several consecutive days, Villa No. 7 in Wanliu Huafu was crowded with people.

When Wu Ruohan was hospitalized, Gao Yang asked Lin Yunjiao to know many senior executives of the company and did not have to visit the hospital.

Wealthy is in the deep mountains and has distant relatives. Since ancient times, this has been the way of human nature.

The Siheyuan in Houhai was completed and accepted in mid-November. Although the building materials have chosen high-quality environmentally friendly materials and have been professionally treated with formaldehyde removal, Gao Yang's family decided to dry it for a while and plan to stay in the Siheyuan during the Spring Festival.

Siheyuan is a log structure building. Although there is no glue used, the wood naturally contains a small amount of formaldehyde and may be dissipated for several years.

Gaoyang took a week off. On December 8, it was snowing heavily. His father-in-law Wu Guanghua, Wu Peng and Wang Yue accompanied Mr. Wu and his wife to the capital.

The old man and the old lady are going to stay in the capital for a while.

Wu Guanghua also took time to come and see his grandson and granddaughter.

On December 10, Gao Yang finally went to work.

Today, Gao Yang wants to meet with the management of Qidian Literature and Xiaoxiang Literature, and personally set the tone for the development strategy of the two original literary platforms and 51 Literature.

Previously, Gao Yang had instructed Lin Yunjiao to arrange for the group's legal department and human resources department to let the management of these two companies sign an anti-pirated responsibility letter.

The requirements were very strict, which also puzzled Wu Wenfei, Bao Weikang and others.

At 9:30 in the morning, the President's Office arranged a vehicle and took 12 people including Wu Wenfei and Bao Weikang from the hotel to the Weber Building.

This time, when we came to Beijing for a meeting, Qidian Literature came Wu Wenfei, Liang Dong and six others, Xiaoxiang Literature came 4 people, and the management of the two online literature platform companies were almost all present.

After Wu Wenfei and others sat in the president's office for a while, Gao Yang, Fang Jian, Gu Yawen, Zhao Lei, Lu Yanran, Zhao Yongchun, Xu Xin, Li Qin, He Shan, Liu Li, Chen Hua, Liu Xu...

After Lin Yunjiao, director of the General Office of the General Office, introduced Wu Wenfei and others one by one, Wu Wenfei and others were secretly shocked.

In addition to the group boss, CEO and CFO, there are also the group's post-bank center, investment center, legal department, 51 Entertainment head, and search and antivirus experts from 51 Research Institute.

Such a situation is really scary.

Compared with the size of the entire 51 Group, the revenue scale of Qidian and Xiaoxiang is not even a fraction of the total revenue.

Wu Wenfei and others don’t know yet that Gu Yawen, the vice president of the Houxin Center in charge, is the real second boss of 51 Group.

After more than 20 people sat down in the conference room, Lin Yunjiao connected a laptop to the projector, opened the 369 safe browser, entered the Baidu homepage, and typed one of the most popular online articles this year, "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

Lin Yunjiao clicked Baidu search, and a bunch of novel reading links for "Ghost Blows Out the Light" appeared on the page.

Lin Yunjiao kept turning the pages, but after turning more than 30 pages, they were not finished yet.

Gao Yang signaled Lin Yunjiao to pause, looked at Wu Wenfei and other Qidian management and asked:

"Everyone, this adventure novel, serialized in Qidian Literature, is one of the most popular original works this year. What the hell are these [Dingdian Novels] and other websites that come out of Baidu?"

Wu Wenfei said: "Mr. Gao, these are all pirated literary websites."

Gao Yang said lightly: You are all online literature enthusiasts, and even once writers, who are committed to promoting the development of original literature, so you found the starting point and explore a sustainable original literature business model.

Now, looking at this screen full of pirated websites, isn’t it embarrassing or feeling shameful?”

Lin Feng, editor-in-chief of Qidian, said: "Mr. Gao, this is Baidu's bidding search ranking. Pirated websites are rampant. We are helpless except indignation.

Qidian started from the implementation of the VIP paid reading model, and the web text was locked and could not be copied, but we could not prevent the endless web document crawling software.

In addition, many pirated websites will register accounts and pay for subscriptions. We are also tracking and identifying these accounts at any time. Once verified, they will be blocked directly.

After the popularity of pirated websites, our platform, including some well-known writers, once carried out rights protection, but it was very difficult, difficult to provide evidence, high cost, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost of rights protection was very high, and the benefits were not proportional to the efforts."

Executive General Manager Liang Dong sighed: "This is the case with the general environment. It is very difficult to crack down on piracy. If you provide evidence on piracy on a large scale and sue for rights protection, the platform will not be able to afford the rights protection fee."

Wu Wenfei said: "Piracy is indeed hateful, but objectively it also promotes the dissemination of online literature. Some writers even welcome pirated copies in order to expand their popularity.

Baidu Tieba is the most obvious example. Some well-known writers will arrange to transmit these new chapters after the platform is updated and updated in Tieba.

Baidu is also intending to support Tieba to build an Internet popular culture community.”

Gao Yang glanced at Wu Wenfei: "Thinking that piracy can help spread the concept of online literature is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Today, Qidian and Xiaoxiang's management team were invited to the group headquarters to hold a meeting in order to eliminate the piracy.

Our original literary platform is like opening an online literature hypermarket with unlimited space, attracting original writers to come in and open stores and create.

The store charges management fees in the form of subscription profits, maintains platform operations, and grows with writers and friends.

If the platform cannot protect the rights and interests of the resident writers, this is a shame.

Cracking up piracy and protecting its own rights and interests, the Qidian and Shanda were unable to do it in the past. Now, 51 Group can do it, but must do it.

Baidu is a strategic partner of 51 Group. Whether it is bidding search rankings or post bars, we will ask Baidu to block related links. I will personally communicate with Mr. Li of Baidu’s.

51 Group acquires two platforms, Qidian and Xiaoxiang, and with the next investment, it will invest nearly 1.2 billion yuan.

We will soon establish 51 Literature Co., Ltd. to further promote the merger and acquisition of online literature platforms and make this original literary platform bigger and stronger.

51 Group invested heavily in this area to create content, cultivate a high-quality IP pool, and lay a content foundation for 51 Group's subsequent pan-entertainment strategic projects.

Next, please tell us about the overall work arrangements for the group coordination and online literature platform to combat piracy.”

Fang Jian connected his laptop to the projector and clicked on a PPT:

"The pan-entertainment strategy is one of the next key investment directions of the group. As Mr. Gao just said, original literature is the foundation and starting point of the entire pan-entertainment strategy.

To this end, we must not be afraid of hard work, trouble, or even at all costs to complete this task.

Specifically, it is divided into several links such as communication and docking, legal affairs, technical evidence collection, and technical rights protection. At the group level, a working group to combat piracy is established to coordinate.

Baidu’s bidding search ranking and post bar, Mr. Gao will personally communicate with Mr. Li of Baidu to solve the problem.

The working group first needs to set up an evidence collection team that tracks search platforms such as Baidu, and then the communication department will communicate and connect with Baidu’s relevant departments in a timely manner, ban these pirated websites, and the content of Baidu Tieba infringement.

Qidian and Xiaoxiang, including the online literature platform that will be acquired in the future, will also form such an evidence collection department to provide evidence support to the evidence collection team.

The technical evidence collection team also needs to track evidence collection on the entire network platform.

The Group's legal department also needs to prepare for several major battles. The goal is to rely on evidence support, contact the police for reporting, and cancel a number of typical representative pirated and infringing websites such as [Pinpoint] as soon as possible.

After that, we will also openly sue and use all feasible legal means to protect our rights, so that these people who make pirated websites will be frightened by this.

In addition, for a large number of pirated websites, the Institute and 51 Guards need to organize technical forces and set up technical rights protection teams to use unconventional technical means to make these pirated websites paralyzed on a large scale.

After that, one of us emerged and we insisted on destroying the whole family until these people who tried to get nothing by relying on piracy realized that the cost was huge and that the road was not available.

The group will coordinate the initial rights protection work, and the online literature platform will work closely together.

If we can successfully defeat this arrogant pirated arrogance, the rights protection work will be transferred to the 51 Literature platform for overall arrangements.

Whether at this stage or in the future, all rights protection expenses incurred in combating piracy will be arranged in the group's financial financial manner and will not be included in the operating costs of each online literature platform.

The fight against piracy is difficult to achieve overnight and may become a long-term, daily struggle.

Our strategy is to declare war on piracy at all costs.

Our goal is to sweep the snow in front of our doors and let no one dare to extend his hands to the copyrighted works produced by the big platform of 51 Literature…”

Fang Jian, on behalf of 51 Group, arranged these specific tasks to combat piracy, which made Wu Wenfei and others stunned.

Declare war on piracy, at such a cost, the boss is so willful. How much does he hate piracy?
