My Age of Investment

  Chapter 34 The enemy's situation is unknown (please ask for votes)

  One morning in the third week of school, Xia Jingxing was running in the playground.

  Kristina called and asked anxiously: "Where are you?"

  Xia Jingxing heard that something was wrong, stopped, and asked, "What happened to me when I was running in the playground?"

   "You come back quickly, call the little dog, let's have a meeting."

  Fearing that Xia Jingxing would not pay attention to it, Christina added, “There is a competitor on Facebook, and we are still competing for the Ivy League market with us.”

  Xia Jingxing was shocked in a cold sweat. He really did not expect that such a small website was also plagiarized. The comment was unique, or was the format too small?

  Without time to think too much, he put away his phone and ran to the dormitory.

  The current Facebook is like a seedling. It cannot withstand any wind and rain, and its ability to resist risks is extremely low.

After waiting for a certain scale, he will not be afraid of competitors.

  Now, I’m really a little scared. The main volume, various advantages, and competition barriers have not yet been formed.

  Now it makes a move, and it really hits seven inches above, which is very uncomfortable.

  Xia Jingxing ran back to the dormitory panting, and woke up the sleeping dog. The other side had two dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

  Don’t think about it, it must be because it was too late to taste the art film last night.

  The little dog was dizzy and mumbled: "What's wrong? Have the registered users broken the 10,000 mark?"

   "Ten thousand big-headed ghosts, get dressed quickly, there is a major enemy situation."

  As soon as the little dog heard that an enemy appeared, he immediately became sober, put on his clothes violently, and followed Xia Jingxing out of the dormitory.

  The foreign girl had already been sitting in the lounge waiting for the two.

  Xia Jingxing and the little dog just sat down, the babes didn’t talk nonsense, and went straight to the subject: “When I contacted the people at Harvard today, I heard them say that a website called ThisFacebook is also contacting their school.”

   "ThisFacebook!"

  The little dog is angry, this is simply a naked plagiarism!

  Xia Jing's forehead is also a blue vein jump, who said that Chinese companies will copycats, the same is true of the old and the United States, and even worse.

  "What is their website address? Have you read the website?"

  Xia Jingxing controlled his emotions and calmed himself down quickly, ready to learn about the enemy, and after knowing himself and the enemy, he then made a response plan.

   "Watch it for yourself!"

  Kristina brought her computer, and she was logging into the webpage of the fake website.

  She turned the computer and moved it to Xia Jingxing.

"NS!"

  Xia Jingxing glanced, and came up with a national curse.

  The main reason is that the opponent is too much. The web UI and Facebook are not 100% similar, but they are at least 80% like.

  Except that the main color is white, which is distinguished from the blue genuine Facebook, the other appearances are similar.

  Kristina has registered an account with the student mailbox of Stanford University.

  Xia Jingxing logged into Yang Niu’s account and browsed the website carefully, without letting go of any details.

  After reading it, he found that this website, like the genuine Facebook page they founded, can create a personal profile, search for and add friends, and even has a "beauty pageant."

  There are still 10 beautiful photos on the homepage.

  Xia Jingxing went in and took a look. These girls came from different universities, including Ivy League schools, universities in California, and even Stanford students.

  This made Xia Jingxing a little confused. He asked Christina: "Have you noticed that the students on their website are very mixed, and they seem to come from many universities."

  Unlike us, it's just Stanford University. "

  Kristina nodded, “In my opinion, they must use online promotion, online promotion, and open to college students across the United States, so they will present the characteristics of registered users in different schools and wide geographical areas.”

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while, this possibility is very high, then why did the other party find the Ivy League school again?

   With questions, he asked the foreign girl: "Did your friends at Harvard reveal who the founder of ThisFacebook is? Is it a student or a company?"

  What he is most afraid of now is that a certain company will come in. The opponents with capital, technology, and experience are the most difficult to deal with.

  Even if he has a lot of functional creativity and operation strategies in his mind, but he has no money and it is difficult to increase the pace of expansion.

  Social networking sites are a typical winner-takes-all. As long as you lag a little bit, it is basically difficult to comeback.

  Kristina shook her head, “They don’t know this. They also heard from their friends: There is a website that plans to enter Harvard.

  But I have already entrusted them to find out for us, but there is no news yet. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, the babes are still very thorough.

  He emphasized: “This must be checked clearly. It depends on whether the opponent is a student like us or is operating as a company.”

  Kristina asked: "Is there any difference?"

  Xia Jingxing sighed, “Of course there are. If it is a student, everyone’s conditions are the same, and we even have to run one step first. The odds of winning are not small.

  If the other party is a big company, then we are in danger. "

  His conversation immediately changed, "Of course, I'm just an objective analysis.

  Regardless of whether the opponent is a student or a company, we will not easily fail.

  It's just that the opponents are different, so the coping strategies must be adjusted, and each has its own style of play. "

  Kristina nodded. In her heart, Xia Jingxing's mind has always been very calm.

  For what he said at this time "inquiry about the opponent", she very much supports this approach.

  Before knowing who the opponent is, it is tantamount to "the enemy is in the dark, but we are clear", which is obviously detrimental to our side.

  The foreign girl saw the little dog pulling a face, with a worried look, smiled and comforted: "Little dog, don't worry too much, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing."

   "That's still a good thing?" The little dog's eyes widened.

  "There are two sides to everything. Someone is copying and imitating us. That means we are on the right path.

  As long as you cross this hurdle, the infinite scenery is in the distance. "

  The little dog scratched his head, as if it made sense.

  Xia Jingxing also fully understands the importance of morale, catching the foreign girl's stubbornness, and then said: "Yes, it is because we are so powerful that people copy us.

  Who copied you from the bad website? Are you right? "

  He pointed to the computer again and said, “Look at the name of this website and this interface. They are all plagiarized from us. What does it mean?

   shows that they lack the original ability.

  Determine how far a website can go, it depends on endless creativity.

  If they keep plagiarizing us, they must have been behind us, and sooner or later they will die. "

   "Yes, boss, you make a lot of sense."

  The little dog agreed with a smile, and then asked: "Then boss, what shall we do next?

  You come to arrange, we all listen to you. "

  The foreign girl also nodded, expressing obedience.

  Xia Jingxing glanced at the two of them and said what she thought in her mind: “They have already promoted it on the Internet, but at the same time they have also found the Ivy League school, which shows that they have realized the importance of occupying the Ivy League school.

  This is a strategic commanding height, which is related to the outcome of this competition.

  Others, we can give up, but the Ivy League school must win at any cost. "

  Kristina nodded deeply: "Yes, this is a weather vane, we must win these 8 schools.

  As long as these 8 schools are won, other top universities will follow up, and the overall situation will be determined by then. "

  The little dog said his doubts: "But now the opponent is also vying with us?"

   "So we must run ahead of them, faster than them."

  Xia Jingxing finished explaining to the dog, looked at Christina, and said, "I have two thoughts."

  The foreign girl chuckled, knowing that Xia Jingxing must have a way, she nodded slightly to signal him to continue.

  Xia Jingxing went on to say: “This incident also exposed the immaturity of our Caotai team.

  The website has been online for almost half a month, and we have not yet applied for related patents. "

  Intellectual property is very important in European and American countries, and it is also a trick often used in commercial competition.

  Xia Jingxing originally wanted to slow down, mainly because he had no money, but now this situation can't help but drag him down.

  Hold it on, and someone else ran ahead of you to register a patent, that’s really a beeping dog.

  The foreign girl's eyes lit up, "Yes, we have to apply for a patent as soon as possible, and then file a lawsuit against the copycat website and sued them for bankruptcy."

  Xia Jingxing poured cold water on her, “Patent application is a very long process. The entire process may take several years, and it is too late to use it at the moment.

   can only be used as a backup and long-term means, and currently we still need a means of proactive offense. "

   "How to attack?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “It’s very simple. Tell all the students of the Ivy League school that this is a thief software that stole all our appearance and functions.

  Although we cannot sue them now, we can use public opinion to make everyone hate this software and ashamed of using it.

  To cooperate in doing this, we also need to apply for a patent right away and get the relevant application form and receipt to prove that we are the real team and the first team to create a social network. "

  The foreign girl frowned, “If you want to speak up, and let the students hear and pay attention to it, I’m afraid you need to get on the line with the leading figures of the Ivy League school.”

  Xia Jingxing nodded and admitted: “Yes, it is indeed necessary for figures from various schools to stand up and speak up.”

   "This is difficult to do. I contacted the people from the Harvard Sisterhood, and Nicky helped me recommend them."

  Kristina felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and the network resources needed were too extensive, far from what she can currently do.

  She originally planned to introduce her to the Harvard Sisterhood through Nicky.

  Then she used the Harvard Sisterhood as a springboard to get to know Princeton, Yale, Columbia and other seven Ivy League schools.

  A step-by-step process!

  It will definitely take time to establish a good relationship, instead of asking someone to introduce a friend to you.

  She is not Bush’s daughter, her face is not that big.

   "Yes, I know it's hard to handle, so I need to think about it for a long time."

  Xia Jingxing came up with the best countermeasure, but lacked matching resources.

  He and Little Dog are ordinary international students in the United States, and they know only a few people.

  Kristina is a little better, but it's not yet a "female" level.

  This is also a shortcoming of their team, lack of "strength" people to join.

  The three of you talked about it for a long time, and they did not come up with a solution that "can be done with their energy and strength, and be effective in parallel".

  Finally, the three of them unanimously decided: first go to a lawyer, and implement the intellectual property rights, so as not to get a bigger moth.
