Chapter 2123 Higher Stage

"The problem is that those of us who are engaged in private enterprises are insignificant in front of the government and have no access to higher-level leaders, and the local leaders are unwilling to take care of this matter. At most, they are perfunctory for you." At this time, living in Duan Yunxie The director of a technology company opposite also said to Duan Yun.

"The key is that the company is small, and the government doesn't pay much attention to it. You are a small company with more than 50 people like us, and the annual tax payment is less than 15. It doesn't rank well with us. You How can someone else's leader value you?"

"Yes, and even if the local government pays attention to it, the effect is very limited. As far as I know, there are many small workshops in the south that specialize in the production of this kind of pirated software. Some are responsible for decoding and deciphering, and some are responsible for sales. They have been in business for many years and have formed a complete system. This is a mature industrial chain, and some local governments are very supportive of this industry. It is almost impossible to destroy these small workshops through legal rights protection. Even if the court makes a judgment and the local law enforcement agencies are perfunctory, it will be of no use at all.”

"It's the same with us."

"With the current situation, it is impossible to eradicate piracy."

All of a sudden, everyone in the conference hall expressed their opinions one after another, and they were basically very pessimistic.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of this version of software alliance, many people still had great hopes, especially after the establishment of the joint legal department, various companies also contributed money and efforts, hoping to reverse the current situation of domestic pirated software.

However, the actual situation is far more complicated than they imagined. It is true that many pirate companies have become restrained after receiving the lawyer's letter, but in general, the change is very small, and it is far from the original software. The effect that the alliance had expected at the beginning.

So in this situation, unless the national level comes forward and strikes hard, otherwise, it will be difficult to change the current social status quo with the power of this alliance alone.

"My personal suggestion is to strengthen the strength of our joint legal team on the one hand, and start with our products on the other hand." After listening to everyone's opinions, Duan Yun continued: "Everyone knows , Our Tianyin Group used to start with electronic products. At the beginning, it followed the route of imitating foreign products, and then made some product improvements of its own. With low cost and perfect after-sales service, it gradually occupied the market. With the current scale, but later on, more and more domestic companies making similar products, many of them imitated our products, and our company's role has changed from an imitator to a leader, but this At that time, you faced a problem, that is, how to maintain your leadership position for a long time. After some exploration and thinking, I found that the most effective way to deal with it is to continuously upgrade and improve the product, so that imitators can never catch up with us. The footsteps, and with the gradual enhancement of product research and development capabilities, our market competitive advantage is getting bigger and bigger. I think the software industry also has many similarities. If I can continue to upgrade software products and provide genuine customers Provide high-quality after-sales service and technical support, which is an advantage that pirated software can never have. That is to say, we don't need to target all users, but only some high-quality customers who need to pay, and exchange technology and services for profits , this is also the most effective way..."

"Mr. Duan is right. In the past, our thinking was only on software research and development, and we didn't pay much attention to software upgrades and after-sales services. We only thought about making products and selling them directly in the market. It seems that Forging iron still requires our own hard work, and we also need to invest more in other areas, so as to enhance the competitiveness of genuine software in the market.”

"Mr. Duan, in fact, we have been making efforts in this area. We have also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in product upgrades and after-sales services. It has indeed achieved certain results, but in general, and the living environment of our genuine software It was still greatly impacted." At this time, Zhang Xun, the person in charge of the BJ office of UFIDA Software Company, also spoke, and he said: "I think we should strengthen communication with relevant state departments. On the one hand, more and more On the other hand, the local government communicates and strives to attract the attention of relevant leaders to the domestic software genuine market at the national level. Only in this way can we protect our own interests to the greatest extent, so that we can have better needs in the future. with innovation and the business environment."

"You're very good!" Hearing this, Duan Yun's eyes lit up, and he said: "Actually, I have been reporting this problem with the leaders of relevant departments. At present, our country's patent law has undergone a revision, but regarding compensation In terms of identification, there are still many situations that do not conform to the current development, mainly focusing on the problem of too little compensation, which is not conducive to deterring those who are engaged in the piracy industry, and it has not caused any serious injuries to them. , so I also hope that the country can strengthen the legal system in this area, but it is very difficult to change the legislation, and it needs the attention of the higher authorities. With my current ability, what I can do is still limited."

"Mr. Duan, in fact, I think that in the final analysis, it is because at the government level, there are no figures who can help us software development companies to speak, and at the national political level, the voices of our private technology companies cannot be heard." Zhang Xun Frowning, he continued, "If possible, we would like to elect someone like Mr. Duan as the representative of our industry to speak out at the national meeting, so that more people will pay attention to our industry."

Zhang Xun's ability to say these words is obviously aware of the influence of national politics on the industry, and in fact, after entering the 90s, private entrepreneurs have begun to appear on the national political stage.

In 1993, a group of entrepreneurs began to be elected as deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Liu Yonghao of Hope Group was among the first batch of private entrepreneurs elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and had the opportunity to be elected to the Great Hall of the People.It is a major breakthrough in China's political reform that a young man from the west can speak in the most sacred and solemn place in China.

From 1993 to 2020, Liu Yonghao became a frequent visitor to the two sessions every year, bringing more than 27 proposals or motions into the Great Hall of the People 170 times.Almost all of these proposals or motions involve agriculture, rural areas and farmers, as well as the development of private enterprises. He is also known as "an excellent representative of private entrepreneurs" and "a friend of farmers' friends".

Liu Yonghao represents contemporary private agricultural enterprises, and he has indeed made great contributions to the development of the entire industry by participating in national conferences and speaking out for private agricultural enterprises.

But so far, no person in charge of a software technology company has entered this political level. This is indeed a regrettable thing for the software industry.
