When will I have a long tassel?

Wang Danhui, the marketing director of Tuo China Company, only heard about the piracy of Tuo CAD software in the media from his assistant Sun Jie. When Sun Jie told Wang Danhui about this matter, she was somewhat unhappy, thinking that Wang Danhui had deliberately bypassed her and handled the matter directly. If this is the case, it means that Wang Danhui is quite dissatisfied with her work, and may even have thoughts of firing her.

"This is not propaganda we do!"

After taking a few glances at the newspapers that Sun Jie collected for herself, Wang Danhui shouted in shock.

"Mr. Wang, is this really not your arrangement?" Sun Jie asked in a dubious tone, "Didn't you meet Reporter Li from Science and Technology Daily last week?"

"I met him because of the computer show next month, and I didn't ask him to publish such a manuscript." Wang Danhui said.

"Didn't he mention this manuscript at that time?" Sun Jie asked.

Wang Danhui shook her head decisively: "Definitely not. If he said he wanted to publish a manuscript related to us, how could I not let him send the manuscript to me first? I have already explained to those reporters that as long as it involves If the articles that come to our Tuao company are published without my permission, we will hold them legally responsible."

You are awesome! Sun Jie murmured contemptuously in her heart. Now so many newspapers have published news about Tuo, and you don't even know about it. If you have the ability, go and hold them legally accountable.

Sun Jie didn't dare to say what she was thinking in her heart. She carefully guessed: "So... the country has a new policy and will severely crack down on the piracy problem?"

Wang Danhui spread out several newspapers again and read them carefully several times, her eyebrows furrowed into a knot: "Sun Jie, have you read these reports? Most of these articles are about the piracy of Tuo CAD. For what? Piracy of windows, office and the like is almost never mentioned at all, which is strange.”

"Really?" Sun Jie leaned her head over and read a few paragraphs. A cloud of doubt arose in her heart: "Yes, these manuscripts were written specifically for us. Other software matters were either not mentioned, even if I mentioned it in an understatement, as if it didn't matter. Could it be that this is a draft arranged by the headquarters? Mr. Wang, do you think the headquarters has any new marketing plans for China? "

"No?" Wang Danhui also felt uneasy, which was exactly the same as Sun Jie's thoughts just now. If it was really the headquarters that did it and they didn't say hello to her, the marketing director of the Chinese company, the problem would be serious.

"Jingle Bell!"

The phone on the desk rang. Wang Danhui answered the phone, and the front desk secretary's voice came from the receiver:

"Director Wang, reporter Feng from Economic Daily is here and wants to interview you. Do you want to see her?"

Wang Danhui thought: "Let her in."

After a while, Feng Qianqian, the IT reporter of the Economic Daily, came to Wang Danhui's office. Wang Danhui greeted Feng Qianqian to sit down with a cheerful face, and then asked Sun Jie to pour a cup of tea for Feng Qianqian. Her performance was so attentive that Feng Qianqian was shocked.

Wang Danhui took over Li Kejia's position as the marketing director of Tuo China Company after her resignation. As a reporter specializing in the IT industry, Feng Qianqian has dealt with both Li Kejia and Wang Danhui, and is quite familiar with their characters.

In the past, when Li Kejia was the marketing director, his relationship with Feng Qianqian was basically equal. If Feng Qianqian makes any interview request, Li Kejia will try his best to satisfy it. If he cannot satisfy it, he will apologize again and again and explain the reasons, so that Feng Qianqian will not feel embarrassed.

After Wang Danhui took office, she changed Li Kejia's style and put on the airs of a foreign company executive in front of media reporters, for fear that others would not know how awesome she was. Feng Qianqian had been rejected by Wang Danhui several times. This time when she came for an interview, she was mentally prepared to be turned away.

But who would have thought that the sun would actually come out from the west, and Wang Danhui, who always showed off that she was bigger than Bill Gates, actually smiled at her and complimented her on the beautiful clothes without saying anything. Can your clothes be considered beautiful? I obviously bought this for 10 yuan at the Guanyuan Wholesale Market last week. I just wear it as work clothes, okay?

Feng Qianqian couldn't figure out whether Wang Danhui took the wrong medicine, but it was better for the other party to show such friendly behavior than to be cold to herself. She chatted with Wang Danhui for a few words and then got down to the topic:

"Director Wang, in the past few days, many central media have reported on the rampant domestic software piracy, especially the piracy of Tuao CAD. Some media estimate that Tuao CAD software has suffered direct losses due to piracy. The loss is more than 10 billion yuan. I would like to ask Director Wang, does this number match the number you have?"

"Well... we haven't made precise calculations on the specific losses. However, the number estimated in the media, um, I think it should be more consistent with our feelings." Wang Danhui replied hesitantly.

Wang Danhui actually doesn't believe in figures like 10 billion yuan. How big can China's software market be? Can all software sales total 10 billion yuan a year? After all, CAD is just a niche software. How could it be possible to calculate a value of 10 billion?

However, people have estimated it for you at 10 billion, and you really can’t refute the rumors. If you say it's not that much in fact, the media may distort it into saying that you think the loss is not big and there's no need to make a fuss.

Until now, Wang Danhui had not thought about whether she should make a fuss or not. The headquarters' performance requirements for Chinese companies are very low. An annual growth of 10% is enough. This is still a growth rate based on a very low base. The headquarters is not unaware of software piracy, but it has not required it to take any effective actions to curb piracy. To put it bluntly, the headquarters doesn't care about this matter.

Even the headquarters doesn't care, so why should she, Wang Danhui, care?

However, such words cannot be said either. No company dares to say publicly that they don't care about piracy. On the contrary, they must constantly emphasize how much damage piracy has caused to them. If someone calculates it for them and says that the piracy losses they have suffered is 10 billion, they can only say that it is more than this number and should be calculated to 20 billion. They must not think that other people's estimates are too high. In fact, it is not that much. .

"So, Director Wang, regarding such a serious piracy problem, have you taken any effective measures to protect your legitimate rights and interests?" Feng Qianqian continued to ask.

"Of course we have!" Wang Danhui said sternly, "We have been calling for the protection of intellectual property rights. Our company has also been reporting the situation to relevant government departments and asking them to take strict measures. By the way, we We also plan to use judicial means to punish those shameful pirates."

Have it? Sun Jie, who was sitting aside, curled her lips. When did the company plan to use judicial means to safeguard its rights? The last time I suggested to Wang Danhui that I could do this, Wang Danhui even scolded me.

Feng Qianqian didn't know such an inside story. She quickly recorded Wang Danhui's words in her interview book and asked at the same time: "Director Wang, you just said that you plan to take judicial measures. Is it your Tuao Beijing company that will do this, or Tuao's headquarters?" Will this be done?"

"Of course it's a request made by the headquarters, and our Beijing company will implement it." Wang Danhui made up the lie without blinking an eye.

"So, you've started doing this?"

"It has not started yet because we are still collecting evidence. At present, we have learned about at least 20,000 pirate users, and we will soon submit the list to the judicial authorities so that these people can be brought to justice. "

"That's right!" Feng Qianqian felt that she shared the same hatred. "Director Wang, I feel that people in our country have too little legal awareness. As an executive of a multinational company, can you tell me what would happen if something like this happened abroad? What kind of punishment will the pirates receive?"

"Punishment..." Wang Danhui's mind was racing, thinking about how to answer. She doesn't know what the laws and regulations are like abroad, and she doesn't even know how to punish piracy in China. However, in the past, she put on too much airs in front of reporters. Now she is asked to say that she has never been abroad and doesn't know what is going on abroad. Can she say it?

"I think a prison sentence is the minimum!" Wang Danhui recalled watching foreign movies. "Foreign laws are very strict. Piracy requires a prison sentence of more than five years. If the circumstances are serious, life imprisonment is also possible. Foreign countries are very concerned about human rights and have abolished the death penalty. Otherwise..."

"You mean piracy is punishable by death?" Feng Qianqian asked in shock.

"I mean the circumstances are serious." Wang Danhui hurriedly took back what she said. She was just dressing up and forgot to write a draft. She seemed to have overstated her words. "In most cases, of course, the sentence is a sentence, plus a fine of 100 yuan." Ten thousand dollars is considered light.

"When I was training in the United States, I read a case in the newspaper. It was about a lawyer who went to the bag depository at the train station to store a match. When the lawyer didn't agree, he sued the bag depository. The depository paid him millions of dollars. You see, how strong is the legal awareness of Americans? Piracy is definitely much more serious than this. Therefore, the pirates are fined 1 million US dollars. The punishment is completely reasonable."

"I understand." Feng Qianqian nodded repeatedly. Otherwise, it can be said that the executives of foreign companies are well-informed. It is really admirable that such chicken soup stories for the soul can be blurted out.

However, this story was clearly told to you after I saw it in the Reader, but why did it suddenly become something you saw in an American newspaper? Also, when did you go to the United States for training? Do you have a passport?

Sun Jie's lips curled up almost to her ears.
