Chapter 147: CCTV Interview
Now that Bill Gates has stood up and condemned the Jiang Group, Jiang Feng is wondering whether to fight back.
However, Jiang Feng didn't think about it for long, and Jiang Feng's beautiful host lover Meng Tong, who hosted "China News" on CCTV, called him, hoping to interview him about this matter.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Feng also felt that he needed to make some voices in the media to deal with Microsoft's accusations against him and Bill Gates, and to make his position on this matter clear.
Jiang Feng was about to go to the capital, and he received a call from Li Yuhan, the general manager of the Jiang Group, asking how to deal with this matter. Li Yuhan said without complaints: "Microsoft is so inauthentic, didn't they deliberately condone piracy and reduce the difficulty of piracy in exchange for market share?" Now you know it's time to close the net? ”
"You can't blame Microsoft for this." Jiang Feng said with a smile, "Yes, it is true that Microsoft did not have the intention to crack down on piracy before, which is a fact, but you must know that piracy is illegal, and Microsoft only has the right to apply to the court to rule that the other party is illegal, and it does not have the obligation to exercise this right." So, even if people don't crack down on piracy, you can't say that they are responsible. It's like if you have a jar of gold in your house, put it outside, and someone takes it away, and taking it without telling him is an act of stealing, and you can choose to go to court to sue him for stealing, or you can not ask about it, it's all your freedom, not that you have to go to court to sue him to be right. Rights and obligations are two different things. ”
"So what should we do? This has a very bad impact on our reputation, and many of our peers are waiting to see the excitement. Li Yuhan asked Jiang Feng with annoyance.
Jiang Feng thought about it for a while and replied, "Well, don't move over there from the company." I went to the capital for an interview, and then I sent it out as a response from the company. Everything else, it's business as usual. ”
"Well, you're better at dealing with these things." Li Yuhan nodded in agreement.
In fact, Li Yuhan also knows that his little boss has the most ghost ideas, and he will also find some crooked reasoning and heresies to deal with others, and he can make people stunned by going around casually, and it is best for him to come forward to deal with these things.
Jiang Feng flew directly to the capital by private jet, and happened to send Rong Qingyao home by the way. But. After arriving at Du International Airport, Jiang Feng did not send Rong Qingyao back to Rong's house, he sent bodyguards to send Rong Qingyao back, and he himself went straight to the CCTV headquarters.
When Jiang Feng rushed to CCTV, Meng Tong was already waiting for him. Then Meng Tong began to work. Ask Jiang Feng what he thinks about Bill Gates' recent remarks against the Jiang Group.
"There must be a lot of opinions." Jiang Feng rubbed the corners of his forehead, and then replied, "I think Microsoft's accusations against the Jiang Group are unreasonable. ”
"How so?" Meng Tong asked rhetorically.
Once you are in working condition. Meng Tong immediately entered the state with all his heart, and at this time, personal relationships or something temporarily stood aside. Even after the interview, you can exchange ideas on how to revise your manuscript. And to the extent that both parties are satisfied, but at this time the words are sharp, and they will always hit the nail on the head.
"We have been working on the promotion of genuine software, for example: As well as various anti-virus software, etc., in fact, now with the help of Jiang's information technology company's sales platform. At least 300 original software authors in China have benefited from this, and we have contributed to promoting the use of genuine software. Jiang Feng said eloquently, "Even if it is Microsoft's indos series software, we also give them the same treatment, at least within our entire Jiang Group, the operating system used is genuine Microsoft products, which is enough to show that our support for genuine software is definitely not empty words." Therefore, some of the accusations that Microsoft has made against us are very inappropriate. ”
"So, will your company respond positively to Microsoft's condemnation and possibly resort to legal action?" Meng Tong asked with great interest.
"Hehe, that's not going to happen." Jiang Feng said with a smile, "Probably because Microsoft has encountered too many unpleasant things recently, which made Mr. Bill Gates depressed for a while, and he just said angry words." He could not be too familiar with the operation of Jiang's Group or Jiang's Electronics, so it was possible that he was hoodwinked. In fact, my personal relationship with Mr. Gates is quite good, and in fact, I own 5 percent of the shares of Microsoft Corporation, and I am also one of the important shareholders of Microsoft Corporation, so there is no possibility that my own shareholder interests will be harmed. Microsoft has not filed a lawsuit against the Jiang Group, and naturally there is no need for us to file a lawsuit against Mr. Gates because of a sentence, which is very useless and a waste of valuable judicial resources. ”
Meng Tong nodded and wrote down Jiang Feng's words, and then asked: "Although Microsoft's anti-piracy behavior in China has fallen into a trough a few years ago due to the failure to sue Yadu Company and other companies, but recently, Microsoft has set off a round of anti-piracy storm in response to the problem of domestic piracy users, and even sacrificed such a killer move as making the pirated system computer blue screen. ”
"I've noticed this, but I personally think it's going to be a bit of a thing." Jiang Feng replied with great certainty.
Since the end of October 2oo4, many computers using pirated indos systems have crashed, blue screens, and prompted that there are still 3o days left for the expiration date (and the deadline is shortened day by day). Anti-virus experts have speculated that the move is less like a virus and more like a measure by Microsoft to crack down on piracy.
It is understood that after conducting an on-the-spot investigation on a number of netizens who asked for help, these netizens upgraded the system a few days ago because of the imperfect operating system, after the upgrade, the system will prompt the computer to restart, whether it is to choose "restart now" or "restart later", the system will prompt the need to activate, which has three options: online activation, phone activation or future reminder. When you select a reminder for the future, you will see the scene before the text: the system can only be used for 30 days, and it decreases every day. It is worth noting that these netizens are all pirated IndosXP users. Kingsoft's briefing to this newspaper yesterday also shows that these situations are among pirated XP users.
This kind of "dead date" prompt obviously frightened pirated users, and some users turned to antivirus vendors for help. According to the analysis of the Kingsoft Anti-Virus Center, this is not like a virus explosion, but more like a measure of Microsoft to combat piracy. Rising also said after studying the situation that it may be caused by Microsoft's patch upgrade.
In response to this abnormal situation, the reporter interviewed Microsoft China yesterday afternoon. After some internal verification, the relevant departments of Microsoft China sent a notice to this newspaper last night, admitting that this move is related to Microsoft's anti-piracy mechanism, but saying that this mechanism has existed since the launch of IndosXP. Ma Tao, Microsoft's China PR manager, said that this mechanism has long existed in Microsoft's operating system and office software, and is not a special policy that has only recently been adopted.
Microsoft explained that this situation may occur when the user does not activate IndosXP properly, and this mechanism was already in place at the time of Indosxp, not new. And said that users should not worry when encountering this situation, this mechanism itself will not cause the loss of data on the user's PC, as long as the user gets a legitimate product ID, it can be reactivated and used normally.
According to Microsoft's notice, these pirated users who were targeted during the patching process can continue to use their computers normally as long as they use genuine operating systems instead, otherwise the abnormal situation will not be solved.
Microsoft's move has caused an uproar among Chinese netizens, while domestic academics have also questioned the "black screen" as a violation of intellectual property law and personal property rights. Some senior leaders of relevant departments have publicly stated that companies like Microsoft should work well with China to solve problems arising from technological progress, and should not use such measures to protect intellectual property rights that harm the interests of users, and such a technology monopoly will be counterproductive.
This time, Microsoft recognized the complexity and volatility of China's policy environment. The incident illustrates the subtleties of Microsoft's relationship with the government, as well as its unspeakable anti-piracy efforts. And Jiang Feng knew that after this incident, Microsoft also carried out similar behavior, that is, the black screen incident in January 2oo8.
After the interview was completed, Jiang Feng said that he would go out to eat with Meng Tong, and Meng Tong also agreed to come down. The two spend less time together, and such an opportunity is rare.
It's just that it's still early before the end of work, Meng Tong continues to work, and Jiang Feng wanders around the CCTV building.
While walking, Jiang Feng arrived at Director Tan's office. Of course, the current Director Tan is no longer the original Director Tan, she is now the head of the CCTV Advertising Department, which can be regarded as a high promotion.
With Director Tan, there are also several CCTV leaders. Now that everyone has met, it is natural to talk about it. Soon, everyone talked about the new CCTV building that had already started construction.
"Mr. Jiang, last time, you didn't express any opinion on our plan for the new building, but I think you seem to be a little dissatisfied with it, why is that?" A CCTV leader asked.
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "This is very understandable, last time, I was also one of the bidders of CCTV's design plan, if I express my opinions on other people's plans, I will inevitably be suspected of slandering others." As for my disapproval, it is because in my opinion, there is really nothing commendable about that plan, and even in my opinion, it is not elegant. (To be continued)
