Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 161 Something Happened on Facebook
Enterprises in China are often very afraid of going to court with foreign companies. They always feel that they are inferior and are afraid of getting into trouble.

Some people lose the braids on their heads, but the braids in their hearts will always be there.Ever since the Manchus broke the backbone of the Celestial Dynasty, the people of the Celestial Dynasty have spent a lot of effort but have not fully straightened their backs.

But Jiang Hui is obviously not a timid person. Although he knows that Facebook is not really copying Xiaonei, and even his Xiaonei is imitating later generations of it, but who knows now?Shopping malls are like battlefields, and Facebook is destined to become a stepping stone on the road to the rise of Xiaonei.

Tang Wenwen and Xiang Weiwei contacted the law firm, reported the progress with Jiang Hui, and began to notify the law firm to sue Facebook in the Boston District Court for violating the rights and interests of the school, imitating and plagiarizing the ideas of the school.In order to better fight against his opponent in this lawsuit, Jiang Hui specially arranged for Tang Wenwen to go to the United States in person. Tang Wenwen has a green card in the United States, so he doesn't need to apply for any messy visas, and he can leave at any time.

"Zach, it's not good, it's not good."

"Linda, what are you doing, in a panic, did al Qaeda attack the United States?".

"I don't know if Al Qaeda has attacked the United States again, but our company has been attacked."

"Who, who is so bold to come to Harvard University to make trouble?".

"It's not that someone came to make trouble, but we received a lawyer's letter, and we are accused."

"Are we sued? Who is suing us?".

"It's the Xiaonei website. They sued us for plagiarism and asked us to shut down the website within the specified time, publish an apology in the newspaper, and compensate Xiaonei for the loss."

"Joke, when will I, Zach, need to copy others? This is slander, this is jealousy, they are oppressing their competitors, it makes no sense."

"But it's useless for us to know that there is no plagiarism. Now many people have started to repost this news on Xiaonei and Facebook, and some people have produced comparative materials to prove the similarities between our website and Xiaonei. Many people believe that we are plagiarizing, and some people have threatened to never use our website again."

"No, I will not give in, I will resist."

Xiaonei.com's lawsuit against Facebook is not a big deal in the Internet industry. After all, Facebook is still too weak and many people have never heard of them. However, it has indeed attracted widespread attention from the Chinese Internet industry and major universities in the Boston area.China's Internet community is concerned about this case, mainly because this is the first case of a Chinese Internet company suing an American company. In the past, most companies from other countries sued Chinese companies for plagiarism.It is better to understand that colleges and universities in the Boston area pay attention to this case. After all, the outcome of this case is related to whether they can use Facebook normally in the future.

Under the intentional or unintentional publicity on Xiaonei.com, the case gradually became bigger and bigger.

……

Penguin.com report: Recently, my country's well-known Internet company Xiaonei.com sued an American company for imitating and plagiarizing its own website, which has attracted widespread attention.It is reported that this American company launched a website that is extremely similar to Xiaonei in February this year. At present, the website has attracted a large number of college students to use in colleges and universities such as Harvard University.The reporter of this site interviewed Lin Zhen, director of the public relations department of Xiaonei. According to Ms. Lin's introduction...

Yahoo News reports: Plagiarism and being plagiarized on the Internet happen all the time, and we should be vigilant against it.Recently, Xiaonei.com, a well-known campus SNS website for job hopping, has begun to take up legal weapons to protect its legitimate rights and interests.Xiaonei.com was established in November 2003 and began to operate in early December. Currently, it has more than 11 million college students.The company that plagiarized Xiaonei.com was a website created by a college student in the United States. The layout, positioning, and even the color tone of the website were almost exactly the same as Xiaonei.com. It was hard to believe that such a thing could happen in the great United States...

……

Somewhere at Harvard University.

"Jenny, have you been using Facebook lately?".

"Yes, isn't our school basically using this website?".

"However, I heard that Facebook plagiarized other people's websites, and now it has been sued in court."

"Ah? How could this be? Wasn't it created by our schoolmates? How did it become plagiarism?".

"I don't know, but I went to Google to check the other company's company. This company called Xiaonei was launched three months earlier than Facebook, and when Facebook was founded, it already had more than 300 million college students. Yes, and now it has more than 600 million global users. It is said that it is also very popular in island countries and Southeast Asia, and even in the United States, many people are using it.”

"My God, is it really difficult for Facebook to copy others? This is too shameful, how could I like such a website, and I canceled it when I went back."

"Me too, I'm going to go to the school intranet to see if it's fun."

……

"Zach, something is wrong, the number of registrations on our website is actually showing a downward trend."

"How is it possible, it used to be increasing every day."

"Zach, that was before".

"Damn Xiaonei, I want to sue them in turn, sue them for slander, I didn't plagiarize, I didn't!!!".

"Zach, I believe you, I believe you will not do such a shameful thing, but I believe it is useless."

"What to do, the court will start in a few days, Facebook must not be blocked, I have to find a way."

"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. All the evidence shows that we are indeed plagiarizing Xiaonei. The jury will not easily believe our words."

"Where is the office of Xiaonei? I want to contact them, I want to negotiate with them."

"I can't get in touch with them now. Xiaonei does not have an office in the United States. I can try to contact the law firm entrusted by them to see if I can get in touch with the people on Xiaonei."

"As soon as possible! Immediately! Do it immediately".

……

After Tang Wenwen arrived in the United States, he first met with a law firm, and then continued to visit some former friends. Some of these friends have certain influence in the media, and some are experts and scholars in certain fields. The Facebook case has more or less influence.

When Tang Wenwen was constantly active, the law firm called and said that someone from Facebook wanted to meet with him and talk about the lawsuit.

Tang Wenwen also wanted to meet with Facebook personnel before the court hearing to find out their attitude towards this lawsuit, which will also have a certain impact on what actions he will take today.
