Chapter 558 You Want to Invest 1.5 Billion in Us?

Late May.

The dispute between [WeChat] and [WeChat] seems to be increasingly one-sided.

The balance of victory has gradually begun to tilt towards [WeChat].

[WeChat] Just as everyone expected, after occupying a certain advantage in the market with new functions in the early stage, it gradually became unable to withstand [Tengji Technology]'s reference and [drainage] and other means, and was [WeChat] Overtaken, even completely crushed.

Ends May 30th!

[WeChat] has officially exceeded 4 million users nationwide, but [WeChat] has nearly 20 million users nationwide!

Such an astonishing gap in the number of users seems to be announcing that [WeChat] is a challenger, just like Qgou’s former competitors, repeating the history of failure again and again in the past, and finally becoming a trace of history under the haze of the times.

As time passes by June, the balance of victory seems to be tilting more and more towards [Tengji Technology].

June 1st.

[Nanshan People’s Court] officially opened a court hearing on the breach of contract by Zhang Sheng’s companies such as [Shengteng Technology] and [Honeycomb Jisong]...

Countless big names on the Internet are staring at this lawsuit.

The lawsuit lasted three days.

Although all the lawyers at Zhang Sheng’s [Bird’s Nest Law Firm] used various means and methods to defend Zhang Sheng’s companies...

But the lawsuit still failed.

[Nanshan People’s Court] ordered Zhang Sheng’s company to compensate [Tengji Technology] for economic losses of 51.2 million yuan.

At the same time, another plagiarism lawsuit initiated by Zhang Sheng against [Tengji Technology] started in the [Yanjing People's Court], but [Tengji Technology] showed the characteristics of an old gangster. On the one hand, it used the time to produce evidence as a Due to the limit, the lawsuit has been delayed and refused to be accepted. After delaying for ten days, the lawsuit was moved to the [Nanshan People's Court] for a new round of acceptance...

Even [Tengji Technology] posted the code between [WeChat] and [WeChat]...

"Can we regard the rules of the game as patents? Why can't we learn from your [WeChat] drifting bottle function? Plagiarism? There is no plagiarism. You can use this rule to play this game, and we can also use this rule. How can playing this game be called plagiarism in the world of intellectuals?”

"Moreover, if we go back to the chat, your [WeChat] is the one that borrowed from our Qgou... We, the Qgou, are the originators of Chinese social software!"

"Here, I also found evidence that [WeChat] infringed on our Q Dog. We will use this to file a new round of lawsuits!"

"..."

File a lawsuit with [Tengji Technology]!

This is absolutely extremely painful and consumes a lot of manpower, financial and material resources.

The other party showed through various evidences that [WeChat] did not have any illegal behavior by borrowing from [WeChat], and even criticized it, saying that [WeChat] plagiarized Qgou!

finally……

This series of lawsuits is being dragged on.

From a legal perspective, Zhang Sheng neither won the "plagiarism" lawsuit, nor did [Tengji Technology] lose. The two sides were at a stalemate.

A series of public opinions on the Internet are all on the side of [WeChat]...

A group of netizens started comparing the [WeChat] version with the [WeChat] version!

I found that every time [WeChat] upgraded some new features, [WeChat] would learn from them and upgrade them, once showing the true nature of a shameless gangster.

[Tengji Technology] was born until now...

Countless emerging entrepreneurial companies have been killed by [Tengji]'s routine while learning from it again and again...

Zhang Sheng’s [WeChat] seems to be just a repetition of history, nothing more.

This kind of public sympathy on the Internet...

On the contrary, [WeChat] once gained a few more users.

On May 30, the number of [WeChat] users was 4 million. By June 5, the number of 4 million users had reached 7 million.

but……

[WeChat] Even more exaggerated!

On June 5th, [Tengji Technology] announced that within one month, the number of [WeChat] users nationwide had exceeded 23 million!

It has officially become a major mobile application software and is the most downloaded mobile software!

…………………………

"Zhang Sheng lost!"

In the early morning of June 6th.

[Taomi Mobile] In the office.

Lei Lei quietly looked at the announcement issued by [Tengji Technology].

As well as news about losing lawsuits such as [Shengteng Technology], [Honeycomb Jisong], [Qiangsheng Online Mall], etc.

His expression was a little complicated.

Everything seemed to be expected. The challenger who overestimated his capabilities desperately tried to challenge the former Internet overlord, but in the end he could not withstand a slight blow and finally fell on the beach.

"If [WeChat] doesn't come up with new features to stimulate the market, or use new methods to attract traffic, [WeChat] will sooner or later beat [WeChat] to death with its huge number of users..."

Lei Lei murmured to himself, and then looked at his [Mi Chat] again.

[MiLiao] entered the market late, and its new features have no advantages. Although it works hard to promote, the number of users of [MiLiao] nationwide is probably around one million.

Relying on the installed base of [Taomi Phone], the number of users of [MiLiao] may increase, but...

When Lei Lei saw the official news from Samsung.

Then, he saw the [Samsung S5940] mobile phone, which officially launched in mainland China for sale today, June 6th!

Seeing the number of pre-orders for this [Samsung S5940] phone and its price of 1599, Lei Lei instantly felt a pressure coming.

Lei Lei had been staring at the computer from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.

He watched the pre-orders for [Samsung S5940] phones on the official website of [Samsung Huaxia] increase from 50,000 to 500,000...

Lei Lei felt the feeling of the iPhone 4S coming!

The era of smart phones...

iPhone 4S phones are madly devouring the high-end market.

Domestic mobile phone brands have also reaped a dividend from the mid- and low-end markets...

However, mobile phones such as [Samsung], [LG], [Sony] and other brands have been watching from beginning to end, and naturally they cannot let go of this tempting cake...

Around 7:30 in the morning.

Lei Lei received a call from Ren Kai of [Zhongsheng Mobile Phone].

"Boss Lei, please help me contact some capital!"

"Some time ago, I laid out the industrial chain and spent all my money, but! I didn't expect that Samsung's mobile phone would be so cruel this time, selling it at 1599, damn it!"

"..."

In the phone, Ren Kai of [Zhongsheng Mobile Phone] was very angry, almost gritting his teeth.

But more of a sense of fatigue and powerlessness.

Some time ago...

[VIK] and Lei Lei's [Taomi Mobile Phone] both turned to capital and launched new mobile phones.

[Zhongsheng Mobile Phone] was holding on, with a rare unity, preparing to lay out a mobile phone industrial chain and planning to rebuild [Zhongsheng Mobile Phone].

But the amazing sales and pricing of [Samsung S5940] completely destroyed the industrial chain that [Zhongsheng Mobile Phone] had just laid out...

[Zhongsheng Mobile Phone] finally couldn't hold on!

In fact, not only [Zhongsheng Mobile Phone] couldn't hold on, most of the domestic mobile phones that had just joined the battle began to hold on!

A stranglehold from the overseas mobile phone industry seems to be beginning...

And at this moment!

Zhang Sheng walked into a company in Yangcheng.

He looked at the sign of [Zhongde Map] and fell into deep thought.

……………………………

Around the millennium...

For the Chinese Internet, it was a very special node.

Countless Internet companies that are now well-known have sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain around the millennium...

Countless Internet hegemons also started in the millennium...

[Zhongde Map] was established in 2002.

However, its entrepreneurial team has been involved in the GPS field since the 1990s. At that time, [Zhongde Map] was just one of the side projects of the Yangcheng Research Institute...

In 2000, my country proposed a policy to make automobile manufacturing a national pillar industry, and two years later proposed a strategy to bring cars into thousands of households...

These strategies...

For ordinary people, they are probably just a slogan or two, just reading the news, that's all.

But for Chen Shoumin, the boss of [Zhongde Map], he realized at the first time that the map industry would be the mainstream of the future automobile industry. Therefore, he invested a huge amount of manpower and energy in the improvement and mapping of [Zhongde Map], and launched the first version of [Zhongde Map] in 2004...

Facts have proved that Chen Shoumin's idea is right. Once [Zhongde Map] was launched, it was welcomed by countless drivers, especially the [Zhongde Map] navigation system, which sold nearly one million points that year. For the first time, it achieved positive profits with the help of electronic map navigation!

By 2007, the number of domestic users of [Zhongde Map] had exceeded 5 million.

However...

The booming [Zhongde Map] soon faced the first dilemma in its history.

That is, the profit project of [Zhongde Map] is too single, but the human cost of updating and maintaining [Zhongde Map] is too huge...

In addition, the aggressive [Soudu Map], with its amazing financial resources and capital, once overwhelmed [Zhongde Map]!

This situation lasted until 2010...

2010!

The booming development of the Internet and the increasing number of cars gave [Zhongde Map] new hope.

During this period, they signed a map cooperation agreement with Volkswagen, Japan Suzuki, Toyota and other automobile companies, which finally gave [Zhongde Map] a new lease of life. The number of users eventually increased from 5 million to 8 million, surpassing [Soudu Map] and becoming the No. 1 in the navigation field...

But in 2011, [Soudu Map] updated the project again and directly suppressed [Zhongde Map]...

The huge capital pressure made Chen Shoumin, the founder of [Zhongde Map], feel the crisis again. He kept his eyes on the Internet industry and held meetings with his colleagues almost every day, but the map field itself is a tool. There are almost no profitable projects except Internet advertising and selling navigation...

After discussing for a long time, they couldn't discuss anything.

June 6.

Chen Shoumin, who was in the office, received a call.

Not long after...

He heard a knock on the door.

He looked at the young man in front of him with some disbelief.

"Mr. Zhang, you said you want to spend 1.5 billion to acquire our [Zhongde Map]?"
