My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1185 Pixel-level replica master

   "This is the latest web interface of Penguin Weibo after a brand new revision a few days ago. It can't be said that it is very similar to us, it can only be said that it is exactly the same."

  In the conference room of Zhongguancun, in front of a huge projection screen, Gao Lili, as the CEO of Weibo, was reporting to the chairman Xia Jingxing, who had just arrived from the capital airport and was not even hot on his ass.

   When she talked about Penguin Weibo, she was full of disgust.

   In the past, Xia Jingxing reminded her to be careful about Pony Horse’s pixel-level product reproduction ability, but she didn’t take it too seriously.

   After all, Bonima is also a well-known entrepreneur who is on the rich list and sits on the top of China's Internet, so he doesn't have any pride in himself?

   Facts have proved that she still underestimated the loss of human nature and overestimated the level of business ethics of domestic Internet peers at this time.

   They just copied it! And it was copied intact!

   If it wasn't for the word "Penguin" written on the logo, she would have thought that she had logged into her own Weibo.

  Ko Lily sighed, "It doesn't matter if we copied us! An excellent Internet company, who hasn't realized that it has been copied?

  But they not only copied, but also caused us trouble with trademarks and domain names.

   Some time ago, they filed a complaint with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, claiming that we have registered the Weibo trademark indiscriminately, abused the trademark law, and misled consumers, and requested the relevant departments to rule that our application for the Weibo text and pattern trademark is invalid.

   I am also puzzled, whether it is in terms of registration time or in terms of usage time, we are all in front.

   We didn't sue them for infringing our trademark, they sued first! "

  Xia Jingxing leaned on the chair and said lightly: "Our country establishes the ownership of trademarks according to the chronological order of registered trademarks, so don't worry about that.

  Penguin wants to compete with us for the trademark of Weibo, but they can only say that they made a wrong idea. "

   Goryeo spread her hands, "Yeah! This is the first time I've seen such a shameless and ridiculous company.

  Unable to bear it, we have already countersued Penguin, from the website design to the technical realization function, to the trademark, we have sued Penguin all over again. . "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "It should be sued, old plagiarism dogs, can't get used to their bad habits!

   They kicked it out first. Those who didn't know it really thought we had violated the legitimate rights and interests of the penguins. "

   Gao Lili said with a smile: "That's not true! These days, who doesn't know about goose products!"

  Xia Jingxing laughed along with it, "Hahaha, this is true, the eyes of the masses are sharp, and everyone knows what the penguins have done over the years."

"Ok!"

Koryo Dynasty Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, and then she went on to report: "In addition, Penguins are also very jealous and jealous of the domain names such as "Weibo.cn" and "Weibo.con" that we bought with a lot of money, and they even told the world knowledge The WIPO WIPO filed a complaint requesting that the domain name related to Weibo be ruled as a generic domain name and should not be given to a certain company.

   There is a feeling that they can't get it, and would rather destroy it than let others get it. "

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Trademarks, domain names, Penguin are all a step behind us, and even the most important product innovations are copied behind us. Let's change them, and they will upgrade as well."

   Shen Xinyi added on the side: "There are still users, the number of users of Penguin Weibo is currently less than half of ours.

   Even if they are using QQ for promotion and diversion, the user growth rate is always worse than ours.

Not to mention the    influence. After the fermentation and dissemination of so many public events, Weibo has become the largest public event discussion platform in China. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Weibo's achievements and advantages are huge. As long as we play steadily in the future, we will not give Penguins any chance to overtake."

   Both Gao Lili and Shen Xinyi nodded, expressing their approval of this statement.

   This is not arrogance, but confidence.

   Even Weibo, a short, easy-to-remember and easy-to-distribute trademark and domain name, was squatted in front of Penguin, so what to lose.

   These two things are very important intangible assets in the Internet industry, and can even be called invaluable assets.

   The superposition of these advantages is gradually offsetting the advantages of Penguin's huge user base of instant messaging products.

  Weibo can be regarded as a training battle before the launch of WeChat, which has the function of reviewing and exercising the collaborative combat capabilities of various subsidiaries and departments of the domestic holding group.

   Xia Jingxing made full preparations before the war. After the battle officially started, Weibo's offensive was wave after wave, almost never stopping.

   At present, this battle has achieved very good results, and the penguin is dizzy.

   Don’t look at the many tricks of Pony Horse, but most of them are vexatious, have no effect, and are purely useless.

   There is a saying that a dog that bites does not bark, penguins are completely useless.

   "I don't worry much about other issues. I only worry about one thing. The celebrity big V plan must not go wrong. This is the key to Weibo's success."

  Xia Jingxing stared at Gao Lili, "With enough celebrities and big Vs on Weibo, the discussion of public events will be heated, otherwise it will be a stagnant pool."

   Gao Lili said with a smile: "I know this, I have been pulling celebrities into Weibo, and I have never stopped pulling people's heads.

   But penguins have also discovered our movements and are learning and imitating us.

   And they pay the signing fee with real money, and they send money to celebrities when they enter Penguin Weibo.

   This makes us a little passive. If we follow, we will spend a lot of money. If we don’t, we are worried that they will attract celebrities and cause ordinary users to migrate to the platform. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "You can spend your money, how dare Penguins compare cash flow with us?

   Their game business has been developing tepidly, and we have all caught up.

  I would like to see how bold Pony Horse can be to send out 500 million yuan? Send 1 billion? "

  Shen Xinyi answered: "It is said that the budget is 100 million yuan, and we plan to invite 1,000 celebrities to enter Penguin Weibo.

   As long as the development momentum picks up and the platform becomes bigger, the stars behind will not spend any more money if they see the wind.

   They should have felt the pressure we brought them and wanted to give it a go. "

  Xia Jingxing pondered carefully, since this year, the development of penguins has embarked on two completely different paths from the previous life.

   Penguin in the previous life, relying on the great success of CF and DNF two online games, a large amount of cash flow has been recorded, and the market is also very confident in its development prospects, so the stock price rose against the trend in the financial crisis.

   But this life is not so lucky.

   Because of his stubbornness, Penguin's game business did not rise as smoothly as in the previous life, and "Xun Xian", which opened the public beta a few days ago, was barely able to win, but it has not officially ushered in the harvest period.

   These changes fell on the financial report. Penguin's revenue and profit growth were much lower than market expectations. Like most Internet companies, the stock price continued to fall against the backdrop of the financial crisis.

   It stands to reason that even if Penguin is not short of money at this moment, it is far from being rich.

   Xia Jingxing felt that it might have something to do with him.

   On the one hand, the aggressive offensive of Hai Nei Holdings in the social field made Penguins feel heavy pressure and existential threat;

On the other hand, at the end of last year, he cashed out Penguin shares at a high price. Penguin management such as Bonima pledged shares and took over one-third of the shares. The current price of Penguin's shares has dropped by three points compared to the 60 Hong Kong dollars he cashed out. of two.

   In terms of conversion, 13.7 billion times one-third, and then multiplying by two-thirds of the stock price drop. The management of Penguins such as Ponny Horse lost 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which Ponima’s personal losses accounted for at least half.

   For Ponima, who is currently worth only three or four billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly half of his worth was directly wiped out by this deceptive investment.

   However, like Li Huangtai, his shareholding ratio in the company has increased a lot, and this investment is only a floating loss. As long as the stock price rises, the loss can be fully recovered.

   Therefore, it makes sense to have high hopes for this innovative business of Weibo.

  Pony, you are hyping up the concept!

   A bit of a learning curve.
