Chapter 193 Trouble
Wang Sifeng once questioned Chen Qiaoshan. Wouldn't he be afraid of being sued by a large company?
To be honest, after more than half a year of attempts, Chen Qiaoshan understood very clearly that if you want to rise rapidly now, you either have a reputation or have the capital. No matter which one, you have to take one, otherwise you can only start from scratch honestly.
Chen Qiaoshan has nothing and doesn't have much time to waste it, so he can only find another way and think of other ways.
He originally wanted to be a low-key person, but after a period of observation, Chen Qiaoshan found that none of the big guys in emerging fields had been low-key since they started their business, especially those who were doing it.
Today's Internet people have no old cadres, but are all young. Ma Taobao is considered to be relatively old and is only under forty.
The most typical one is Mr. Zhang from Sohu, who is the most popular Internet tycoon. In Chen Qiaoshan's view, Mr. Zhang is now a very liberty man, playing around for show all day long, and is half the idol stars in the Internet industry.
Although the boss is so unrestrained, the effect is unexpectedly good.
Under the leadership of Mr. Zhang, Sohu also made great progress. In just a few years, it has become one of the most well-known portals in China. In addition, it has also cultivated a large number of reserve talents for the rise of the domestic Internet, becoming the largest Internet talent base in China, following Microsoft and ibm research institutes.
Speaking of portals, in recent years, domestic portal sites have emerged one after another, but there are only a few that can persist until now, and many of them have been lost in the middle, including the fm365 built by Lenovo.
Just recently, the domain name of fm365 expired. According to the general charter, Lenovo has a 40-day priority renewal right. I don’t know if it was forgotten or for other reasons. Lenovo did not have any follow-up actions, which gave Chen Qiaoshan the opportunity, and he was the first to successfully register.
In the original trajectory, according to the popular saying on the market, fm365 was registered by Americans, and then it was bought by Cai Wensheng for $100,000. Mr. Cai is the investor of Meitu Xiuxiu and 4399. He is also the number one investor in domain names in China.
Of course, Chen Qiaoshan didn't believe that Cai Wensheng spent money to buy a domain name at all.
It was a coincidence. In just a few days, the entire process from registration to transaction was completed, and it was a cross-border transaction, which was a bit too efficient.
In Chen Qiaoshan's view, this should be to avoid subsequent risks.
After all, Cai Wensheng has suffered a great loss.
Just last year, Mr. Cai registered the website domain name of a French company in the same way.
After the French discovered it, they wanted to find it back, Mr. Cai offered $3,000. Who knew that the French were stubborn and would rather go to Switzerland to sue than take the money.
As a result, the matter went directly to the Wipo Arbitration and Mediation Center, and the agency finally ruled that Boss Cai was unjustly profitable and that the domain name registration was invalid.
For $3,000, an international business dispute broke out. I think Cai Wensheng is not rich now. The so-called buying a domain name of $100,000 may be a gimmick, which makes it easier for Boss Cai to turn around and ask for a good price for Lian.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that the root of Boss Cai’s career was the domain name fm365. As soon as he got the domain name, he jumped directly to the 265.com website.
With the help of fm365, in just half a month, 265, an unknown website navigation website, directly entered the top 100 Alexa global rankings, attracting IDC and Google to invest.
Finally, in 2007, Google spent tens of millions of dollars to acquire 265, and Cai Wensheng successfully completed capital accumulation.
Although Chen Qiaoshan got fm365 first, he was not planning to copy Cai Wensheng's old path and make website navigation.
One is that such websites have no core competitiveness and good platforms to support them, and they are destined to have no future, so they can only hope to be acquired by large companies. hao123 is a lesson from the past, and there is no meaning at all when it is done.
Second, he is a completely newcomer to the Internet. Once he dives in, he will involve all his energy, and his interest is not in this. He will not rashly enter the Internet field before he finds a suitable partner.
Of course, Chen Qiaoshan would not miss this opportunity. Fm365 is a huge network traffic port, so he will not let it go easily.
Cai Wensheng only held fm365 for five months and sold the domain name back to Lenovo at an unknown price. Chen Qiaoshan would not easily abandon the domain name for money. Compared with capital, users are the most important constituent factor on the Internet.
...
Chen Qiaoshan never expected that the fm365 incident would be exposed by the media so early.
Originally, at the end of 2003, Cai Wensheng directed fm365 to 265, and the matter started to stumble, which attracted the attention of the media.
After Chen Qiaoshan registered, he did not perform domain name analysis or targeted jumps. The domain name is still in an unactivated state. He originally planned to be useful in April, but it was exposed in advance.
He knew that this matter would not be settled easily.
For Internet companies, users are the greatest value, and fm365 is associated with nearly 400,000 Internet accesses.
At the end of 1999, Lenovo launched an Internet computer, achieving unprecedented success.
According to data released to the public, Internet computers have generated 4 billion yuan in revenue for Lenovo in one year. Even if it is calculated by 10,000 yuan per unit, Lenovo sold at least 400,000 units in 2001, and it has not been counted in the following two years.
The most important thing is that these computer keyboards are specially customized by Lenovo, and they can all be logged into fm365 with one click.
Chen Qiaoshan knew in his heart that things were getting bigger now, and Lenovo probably wouldn't sit idly by.
He also had a headache. It was too inconvenient to get information now. Sun Guangming didn't say it clearly on the phone. He didn't know what the situation was on the Internet, and he couldn't respond immediately.
But it’s useless to be anxious. There will be no end to this matter in a short period of time. Now we can only think of other ways to deal with it.
On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was an unusual day for the Chen family. The Chen family got up early and prepared to send the Chen family and his son to the city to pick up the car.
Chen Qiaoshan has a lot of things and originally didn't want to go, but at Chen's mother's request, he had to follow him honestly. After all, there are only two men in the Chen family.
As soon as I finished breakfast, an uninvited guest came to the Chen family. A Santana 2000 was parked directly outside the Chen family's yard.
Chen Qiaoshan heard something outside, ran out and took a look, and then found that Sun Guangming had come out of Santana.
He was puzzled and asked, "Fatty, why are you here for this morning?"
Fatty Sun shouted, "Come here to see if you can."
After a pause, he said in surprise: "Dashan, this time the matter is really a big deal. You have dug out all your personal information online."
Chen Qiaoshan was shocked and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but be anxious. Although Peking University Qiaoshan's reputation is very famous online, except for some Guanghua's people, not many people knew his true identity. At best, they knew that this person was from Peking University.
"It's not because of the website that I posted a screenshot of fm365's domain name query online. Your name and address at Peking University are all written on it."
Chen Qiaoshan was speechless. These reporters were so omnipresent. They would not miss such small details and would cause trouble in the future.
But now that's the end, I can only do this first.
He was thinking about a countermeasure, but Fatty Sun came over and whispered: "Dashan, we are in trouble this time. Lenovo posted a statement online this morning, saying that he had consulted a lawyer and Lenovo still owns the ownership of the fm365 domain name."
Chen Qiaoshan didn't care, all of this was in his expectations.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Fatty Sun couldn't help but say in a hurry: "I said Dashan, it's said online that you are legally registered. If Lenovo wants to get the ownership of the domain name back, it will either come to you for purchase, but the biggest possibility is to sue you."
Chen Qiaoshan sneered in his heart. There is no such simple thing in this world. This is bought by himself for real money. Lenovo should not expect to take it back lightly.
The two were muttering in a low voice, and someone suddenly interrupted, "What's the lawsuit?"
Both of them were shocked. Chen Qiaoshan looked back and found that Xiao Wu was standing beside him, staring at the two of them curiously.
He said angrily: "Who did you learn from? Eavesdropping on others' words is very rude, do you know?"
Xiao Wu was obviously dissatisfied, "Who wants to eavesdrop? I just came over and saw that you are so loud, I happened to hear it."
Listening to her rebuttal, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but look at Xiao Wu.
