Rekindling looking back has been three lives

Chapter 153
"What lawsuit?" Chu Tianshu chuckled and tugged at his sleeve, indicating that this is not the place to talk.

Liu Kailai knew very well that Chu Tianshu had no need to lie to him, so he quickly dragged him into the office and closed the door.

"Old Chu, what kind of lawsuit is it? We have been friends for so many years, you have to tell the truth."

Chu Tianshu sat down, avoiding the handed cigarette.

Liu Kailai was startled, then stuffed the cigarette back with a wry smile, "Sorry, I forgot."

Chu Tianshu waved his hands and began to talk, "The Internet cafe management system software you are using now and the diskless system for the local area network are from Qinchuan Electronics, right?"

Liu Kailai nodded, "Hey! You don't know, I'm in big trouble with these two sets of software!"

Speaking of this, Liu Kailai was furious.

At the end of 2001, he listened to Qinchuan Electronics' tricks, and in order to save costs, he bought 80 diskless drives as replacements for new ones.

At the same time, they also bought their Internet cafe management system.

This Internet cafe management system broke his heart.

I thought it was to save manpower and facilitate timing.

Unexpectedly, the software of Qinchuan Electronics has been full of errors since the installation, often causing inaccurate timing and system crashes.

Not only is it annoying, but you also have to lose money.

Customers don't care about your system problems, and troubles will arise if there are problems.

The college students around the university are not vegetarians when they start troubles.

The key is word of mouth, which has a great influence.

Often in this situation, Liu Kailai can only admit that he is unlucky.

Later, it was simply not used, and it returned to the era of paper card timing.

As for the diskless machine, it was fine at first.

It saved him a lot of money, not only the hard disk budget, but also the cost of electricity and Internet cafe maintenance personnel.

But the good times are not long.

By 2003, the disadvantages of Qinchuan Electronics' diskless drives became apparent.

The diskless system with Win98 kernel cannot support 3D games!

This is a sinkhole for Internet cafe owners!
In the second half of 2003, Penguin launched the first 3D online game "Triumph".

It was all the rage at the time, very popular.

There are very few machines that can play 3D games in the Wing of Light Internet Cafe, so Liu Kailai can only watch helplessly as the original loyal customers go to other Internet cafes to play "Triumph".

Fortunately, this is also the first game that Penguin entered the online game industry as an agent. As a novice in the game industry, Xiaobai obviously does not have the strength he has today. until completely cool.

While Liu Kailai was lucky that he was lucky, he also made up his mind to replace the machine as soon as the three-year depreciation period expired.

Because, next year, "World of Warcraft" will be launched, which has been announced by Blizzard officials for a long time.

Those who open Internet cafes, if they don't know the power of "Warcraft", they can close their doors as soon as possible.

What's more, in addition to those who play online games, there are also many customers who play "Warcraft 3" in the Internet cafe every day.

From their mouths, Liu Kailai also knew that "World of Warcraft" will be tested in North America in August this year, and a group of people are asking him if there is a way to enter the foreign server.

Seeing Kong Hao's skills today, Liu Kailai was a little tempted, if he could ask about the way to go to the foreign server.

If he can, he wants to change the machine immediately.

Although the batch of mainframes that Chu Tianshu brought today are also diskless, their technology is indeed much more advanced than that of Qinchuan Electronics.

The 3D game Need for Speed ​​runs without any problem at all.

"World of Warcraft" eats machine configuration for sure, but it is definitely not better than Need for Speed.

Moreover, the scene with his sister-in-law outside just now made him appreciate the convenience of this Internet cafe management system.

No... not just convenience, but additional revenue features.

This song order is completely pure profit every day.

The ordering system can also increase service revenue.

But what about the lawsuit?

"Old Liu, brother, I won't hide it from you. You also saw the two systems tested today, and we will sue the Internet cafes that use Qinchuan electronic software for infringement." Chu Tianshu took out a chocolate and put it on the Chewing.

There are a lot of smokers in Internet cafes, it is really difficult for an old smoker to quit smoking, Chu Tianshu can only use substitution methods to control his addiction.

Liu Kailai's eyes widened, "You mean that Qin Chuan Electronics infringed on you, and then you sued the owner of the Internet cafe in court?"

Chu Tianshu smiled, "Yes, that's right, a profit-making unit that uses infringing software is also considered an infringement."

Under Liu Kailai's unbelievable eyes, he continued, "Of course, we will sue Qinchuan Electronics first. Then the Internet cafe. The complaint has already been handed in."

Liu Kailai was confused, "Didn't you develop it later, they developed it first."

Chu Tianshu spread his hands, "Who told them not to apply for copyright?"

Then, he lowered his voice, "Actually, one of the core technologies was invented by the young man you saw today, Kong Hao, three years ago and has a patent."

It was a complete surprise.

When Kong Hao developed this technology at Huaqing University, he passed a copy to his master, Wu Chuzhi's uncle Wu Qinghai, director of the National Laboratory of CETC.

Wu Qinghai looked good at the time. This underlying technology had originality and potential for further development, so he helped Kong Hao apply for a patent, thinking that it would be useful someday.

When Wu Chuzhi came back from Yanjing and talked with his uncle about the diskless computer, Wu Qinghai thought of it.

This made Wu Chu's teacher famous.

Wu Qinghai asked someone to decompile the main programs of the two systems of Qinchuan Electronics. What is speechless is that Qinchuan Electronics used Kong Hao's technology, which was completely copy-pasted.

Even the words 'Kong Hao is a genius among geniuses' in the comments were not deleted.

Several self-developed programs written by Kong Hao at that time were circulated in a small area. It is estimated that Qinchuan Electronics also thought that they were made by students at that time, so they didn't take it seriously and used it directly.

This made Kong Hao have no psychological burden.

Using my master's technology, I don't thank you so much!
See if I don't kill you!

Liu Tianlai understood roughly, and he knew that Chu Tianshu would not explain in detail.

One is that Chu Tianshu may not understand it, and the other is that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

"Old Chu, we are from the same unit, and we are all from our own family. Now that I know it, how can I cooperate?"

Chu Tianshu smiled, and started talking with his ears.

After Liu Kailai listened to it, he pondered over it, and couldn't help giving Chu Tianshu a thumbs up, "Old Chu, your nephew's trick is so good! It's really so good!"

I have seen a funny case before. A company purchased Microsoft software for its own daily management.

Then the company became bigger and stronger, using more computers, and did not add new licenses. Instead, the company organized personnel to crack Microsoft's software and install it on new computers.

The business later went bankrupt and was sold to another company.

A year later, the new company changed to a very honest CEO. After discovering this loophole, he hurriedly made up the original version.

At this time, Microsoft, which had already known about it, began to close the network.

They brought a lawsuit to the court, requesting that the amount of compensation should be calculated based on the total sales of the defendant's copied and used illegally copied software, and the amount of compensation should not be lower than twice the retail price of the genuine product.

The defendant argued that: First, the infringement was the behavior of the original company and had nothing to do with the new company.

Moreover, after the new company paid the plaintiff to purchase the genuine software, the plaintiff has no infringement damage.

Because the plaintiff has already obtained the license fee for the software it should have obtained, all the software used by the defendant up to now is the regular software licensed by the plaintiff, and this software version completely includes the old version that it used without the plaintiff's permission.

The aim of the damages system is to compensate victims economically for losses suffered, not to punish or compensate expenditures for general preventive purposes.

But Microsoft and the court don't think so.

The final judgment was that Microsoft won the lawsuit. Although the defendant had paid the software license fee, it did not affect the previous infringement damage compensation relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant. Therefore, the defendant should still compensate the plaintiff, and Microsoft obtained a large amount of excess compensation.

This case aroused fierce controversy that year, and the crowd was so excited that it even rose to the level of national sentiment.

But it doesn't work, the law is the law.

This is also one of the tuition fees paid by the domestic IT industry after joining the WTO.

It's absurd, but it made people remember the term 'software end-user infringement damages'.

Liu Kailai also remembers the conclusion of this case that the infringing end user's subsequent purchase of genuine software from the software copyright owner does not affect his or her liability for infringement compensation.

That is to say, Chu Tianshu explained in advance how to treat his old comrades-in-arms and brothers.

If outsiders...

At that time, not only will he have to lose a sum of money, but he will also have to buy things from his family.

This hand is beautiful, he deserves his uncle Chu and his nephew to get rich.

"We are safeguarding the rights and interests of genuine software."

Chu Tianshu himself didn't believe it when he said this.

Liu Kailai didn't believe a word, and Chu Tianshu didn't expect him to believe it.

Still, that boy Chuchu's words are interesting.

We're bullshitting, they know we're bullshitting, and we know they know we're bullshitting, but we're still bullshitting because we're righteous.

Whether it's bullshit or not, Chu Tianshu doesn't know, some things really need a high-sounding reason to move forward.

Even if you are doing the right thing, you need a reason.

Wu Chuzhi, who was doing StarCraft 4V4 outside, sneezed, feeling a little bewildered.

Tonight's dormitory activities, he has reported to everyone.

But even if he knew the reason, he wouldn't say anything.

In fact, in essence, this is a just thing, and it should be taken for granted after 10 years, but people at the beginning of the century seem to be bullshit.

As we all know, real-time strategy games such as LAN networking, and large-scale fighting such as 4V4 are very bloody in the early stages.

Explode the most basic arms, and then gather together to start a regiment, such as 6D, machine gunner RUSH, peasant uprising... This is a routine operation.

4v4 in StarCraft is all about teamwork, no matter how good one is, it won't be of much use if you don't cooperate well.

Some people are strong in 1v1, but when they start a group, they are very popular.

It's very simple, it just doesn't work together.

Both Wu Chuzhi and Gao Chao are experts in interstellar team battles.

But Wu Chuzhi and his dormitory cooperation is more tacit.

The reason...

Naturally, in Gao Chao's dormitory, there are more good children who love to study.

One Insect, Two Gods and One Man VS One Man, One God and Two Insects

Both sides are a reasonable match.

4V4, nothing too complicated tactics.

The biggest tactic is that in the early stage of the duel, it is to join forces, and count as many as can be killed, and then consume in the mid-term.

In most cases, the winner can be roughly determined within 5-8 minutes.

Five rounds have been played, and Wu Chuzhi has also hung up five times.

Gao Chao's reason is also very simple. In reality, King Wu is already very powerful, so they can't be trampled on by them in the Internet?

When Gao Chao reached the second game, he knew that he would never win this game.

But now the game seems to have become a personal grievance between Wu Wang, who is about to become their boss, and everyone, so they cooperated tacitly with Gao Chao to sweep Wu Chuzhi.

Even Qin Xu and the others tacitly chose not to rescue them, but took this opportunity to attack the vulnerable rear of Gao Chao and the others.

So Gao Chao became the arrow of attack. Wherever his dog rushed, the other three troops in the dormitory would rush there.

Of course, the first to bear the brunt is Wu Chuzhi's Protoss.

This style of play is obviously perverted.

Although he was obviously invincible, Wu Chuzhi was always forced out of the game every game.

And every time Wu Chuzhi could only watch his own victory from the computer next to him depressedly.

In the fifth game, Wu Chuzhi had already carefully repaired a few photon turrets, and Qin Xu and others, who had discovered conscience, also gave up Rush and helped him defend.

But when there were only two Gaochao families left, Wu Chuzhi was demolished without any suspense.

This is very helpless in 4v4. In 4v4, the stronger side can quickly resolve the battle, but it can't prevent the opponent's counterattack. Generally, as long as two or three troops charge against one family, no matter who they are, they may not be able to stop it.

In the sixth game, Gao Chao and the others were unlucky. They only found Wu Chuzhi when they reached the last place.

This gave Wu Chuzhi a chance.

I have been decadent for three years, and it is not for nothing. In fact, Wu Chuzhi's hand speed is not a big problem for semi-professional players.

Wu Chuzhi seized the rare opportunity.

A solid economy brings a solid defense, Gao Chao and others' Rush was blocked by him, Qin Xu and others.

The game has rarely entered the mid-term stalemate.

The battle was extremely fierce, but the early advantage of Wu Chuzhi and others turned into victory at this moment.

If Rush fails, the economy will be severely damaged.

Wu Chuzhi's protoss chacha soldiers, under the cover of Qin Xu and others' dog slobber chickens and bare-ass machine gunners, rushed into Gao Chao's house and began to happily fight iron chacha.

Just when he began to shout happily, "Fork as much as you want", a few photon cannon balls bounced on the heads of his forked soldiers.

Wu Chuzhi couldn't figure it out, Gao Chao was obviously a Zerg, where did the photon cannon come from?

In the blink of an eye, the five Chacha soldiers were shot and killed by the photon cannon, and the battle screen went black.

After swiping the mouse to the outside, Wu Chuzhi discovered that at some time, the eight-door golden lock formation formed by Qin Xu, Kong Ziqian, and Liu Liu had already been broken into a big hole by the enemy.

And Party B's bare-bottomed gunmen were beaten motionless as if they had been hit by a sunflower acupuncture point.

After playing GG, Wu Chuzhi took off his earphones with a look of anger.

Who is so bold, dare to betray King Wu blatantly!

Qin Xu pointed to Confucius who was beside him with a wry smile.

Wu Chuzhi looked over in bewilderment, and saw Kong Ziqian, who was wearing earphones, holding his mobile phone, sitting there motionless and looking at the screen that had already been turned off.

He has maintained this position for some time.

During the 4V4 process, the screen of Kong Ziqian's mobile phone lit up.

It's a text message.

He didn't want to see it.

But when the phone number that needs to be deliberately forgotten came into view again, he stopped his hands.

To open, or not to open?

This is a philosophical question.

Kong Ziqian's face was a little strange, he was smiling but not smiling, but his eyes were red, as if he had been dazed.

"What's wrong with the youngest?" Wu Chuzhi asked in a low voice.

Qin Xu shook his head and lowered his voice, "I don't know. I saw that his machine gunner suddenly stopped moving, and I wanted to call him. Seeing him like this, he didn't dare to say anything."

Wu Chuzhi sighed, got up and took off Confucius' earphones.

Kong Ziqian seemed to be frightened, and the mobile phone in his hand almost flew out. He quickly grabbed the mobile phone, but he didn't dare to look at Wu Chuzhi and the three of them.

Wu Chuzhi patted him on the shoulder, handed him a cigarette, "Come on, youngest, go out and have a chat."

Confucius got up silently, followed Wu Chuzhi and walked outside.

Looking at their backs, Liu Liu was a little puzzled, and turned to look at Qin Xu, "Second brother, what's wrong with the youngest?"

Qin Xu sighed slightly, grabbed a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, "What else can I do? Maybe it's that Zou Lingling again."

"No, there is still contact?" Liu Liu was speechless.

Qin Xu shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

After all, it was a cloudy and rainy day, and when the summer night breeze blew outside the door, it was actually a bit chilly.

Kong Ziqian lit a cigarette, was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "Boss, she sent me a text message."

Wu Chuzhi curled his lips, who else could make Master Kong so worried, besides Zou Lingling?

"What did she say?" Wu Chuzhi blew a smoke ring towards the street lamp under the night sky.

It is a scientific problem that the smoke ring will float in the direction of the street lamp.

The specific gravity of the smoke ring is lighter than that of the surrounding air, so it will float upwards, and the air at the bottom of the lamp is heated to form convection, so it will be involved in the smoke ring.

Science is the only criterion for testing problems, but it is helpless in the face of love.

Looking at the gradually fading smoke ring drifting towards the street lamp, Kong Ziqian twitched his lips, "I haven't seen it yet."

Wu Chuzhi was a little stunned, and then a little amused, "Afraid that she will destroy your Dao heart?"

Confucius put his lower lip on his upper lip and blew on his bangs, "No. I've given up on her."

"Then delete it directly." Wu Chuzhi smiled indifferently.

It's easy to give up.

Wield the Wisdom Sword and cut the thread of love...

No, it should be evil fate.
