Chapter 283: Urgent help, being fished
Coco Assistant is making rapid progress in learning now, but it still has obvious characteristics of artificial intelligence and is unable to understand many problem-solving ideas. There is no way to avoid this, as it is related to the fact that it does not have that much accumulation.
The current performance is enough to amaze Lushan’s employees. With such a learning speed, Coco Assistant can be applied in many scenarios in the future.
It will have the potential to educate students as a tutor, and will also have the potential to teach college courses as a professional professor, guide research, and guide production.
Even when Coco has completed his humanistic accumulation and chewed on it long enough, he will become a spiritual companion and a guide in life.
The prospects are bright, but the work is arduous. Even with the help of the endless compiler, this improvement work is still not easy, as there are too many new things to enter.
It felt like an ordinary person participating in the compilation of the Yongle Encyclopedia.
According to the current situation, Coco Assistant is actually already available to users. It is mainly used to solve problems encountered by customers when using computing.
Common daily problems have been sorted out and taught to Coco. That is to say, Lu Shan has high requirements and requires that you polish them slowly and not to be impatient.
All work returned to normal, and Lu Shan occasionally attended classes to find new ideas, and the rest of his time was spent on transforming the results of the Riemann hypothesis.
It is used in almost all scientific fields, and Lu Shan’s workload is not small.
What are the consequences if you don’t convert?
That means people in other countries will be transformed, and Xia will fall behind.
Moreover, if Lu Shan did not personally transform the results of the Riemann hypothesis, it would be too difficult for others and mathematical research would not be effectively applied.
For example, if you want to make chips, you need a lot of people, and everyone’s skills are different. If the production process is not subdivided to the level that practitioners can participate, how can it be manufactured?
This is a huge system project, which actually requires cooperation among many universities. However, Lu Shan did it on his own, and no one else has this level of ability, so he had to do it himself.
A week later, Lu Shan made good progress and many of his ideas had already been applied in his own company.
He is in a good mood, and he will gain points by teaching others.
At this time, a phone call from Wu Jun disrupted Lu Shan's thoughts.
"Oh, it would be great if I had more money so I could do research to my heart's content." Lu Shan curled his lips and picked up the phone.
"Boss Wu, what do you want me to do?"
Wu Jun laughed bitterly on the other end of the phone. He really didn't want to make this call!
Wu Jun then started to complain, and spent half an hour explaining what had happened.
The relevant department of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, that is, the department in charge of intellectual property rights, contacted Shenchuan and asked Wu Jun to assist in the investigation.
Because Microsoft's office in Xiaguo protested to the Xiaguo department, saying that Shenchuan computers had installed pirated Win XP systems on a large scale, and requested the relevant departments to investigate and give an explanation.
The relevant departments accepted the complaint and began to investigate.
Don't speculate about other people's position. The relevant departments have handled this matter correctly. They opened a company and did business in Xia Country. At least they abide by the law and comply with the market rules here, so they are also protected.
If the relevant departments do not care because it is a foreign company, then what are other foreign companies thinking?
People will withdraw their investment, which will cause incalculable economic and employment consequences and even cause international problems. If they are accused of favoring domestic investors and discriminating against foreign investors, foreign investors will not come to invest in the future.
These few years are a critical time for China to attract foreign investment! What we need is to create a good business environment.
"The higher-ups take this matter very seriously. If there is nothing wrong with the Shenzhou ship, please prepare relevant evidence." The people from the relevant department spoke very implicitly, and Wu Jun understood.
When someone in Xia State says that there is something wrong with someone, the other party should provide evidence. Why is it that Shenchuan is asked to provide evidence instead?
Microsoft will definitely have to provide evidence, but the higher-ups are unsure as to whether they have the crucial evidence, so they asked Shenchuan to prepare the evidence so that the higher-ups can take a look and have an idea.
If there is a problem, correct it quickly. If there is no problem, that's good. If there is insufficient evidence, prepare it quickly and handle this matter properly.
Wu Jun quickly prepared the evidence. The main evidence was that the computer of the Shenchuan was not installed with the Windows system, but the DOS system, and various evidences were attached.
There is evidence of offline debugging, evidence of startup screens at sales outlets, and a red-headed document issued at the company level that expressly prohibits the installation of unauthorized systems.
There is also feedback from consumers online.
Many consumers left messages on Shenchuan’s official website asking Shenchuan to install the Windows system in advance, otherwise they would have to find a way to do it themselves, which was really too troublesome.
The relevant departments were quite satisfied with the evidence. Shenchuan's copyright awareness is quite good!
With these evidences, it at least proves that Shenchuan's attitude is correct, so it will be difficult for Microsoft to find fault with it.
However, the evidence submitted by Microsoft caught everyone off guard. It submitted several video and audio evidence, which were obviously secretly filmed, but also clearly recorded the evidence of the installation by the Shenchuan store clerk.
In the video, after buying the computer, the Microsoft people asked in a daunting way: "How can I use Fuxi K1 without an operating system?"
Shop assistant: "You can install it yourself. It's not difficult. It's your choice which system to choose."
"I'm in a hurry and there's no internet. How can I install it? Can't you install Windows here?"
"Sorry! The company has a rule that we really can't help you install the Windows system because we don't have authorization."
"How can you do this! I want to return the goods!"
"Then please go through the return procedure here. I'm really sorry for causing you unnecessary trouble." The clerk said helplessly. This matter was really... tricky.
"Oh, why are you so rigid? I don't believe you don't have the installation package. It won't take long to help me install the system. I have to submit the form tonight! I want to use it." The Microsoft employee who was conducting the undercover investigation immediately changed his tone.
"Then I'll help you install it in a private capacity, and you'll be responsible for the consequences."
"Okay, okay, thank you!"
The videos are similar, and all of them were installed with the help of Shenchuan’s store staff.
Microsoft's appeal is also very simple. Shenchuan is responsible for what its employees have done, regardless of whether it is a supervisory error or deliberate indulgence. In any case, Shenchuan's computers were sold to customers with the Windows system.
Even if people pay first and then install the system, it is not the customer's behavior.
Now the problem is really troublesome, and people from relevant departments held a meeting to discuss this matter.
"This is a scam! They said the company didn't allow it, and it was installed in their own name, but the Microsoft people insisted that Shenchuan Company did it on purpose!"
"I don't quite agree with this statement. I'm not speaking for Microsoft, but do you think these employees would dare to do this without Shenchuan's tacit approval?"
"That makes sense, but secretly filming something is wrong in itself. The United States does not accept this kind of evidence. Does our country's law have any relevant management measures?"
"The illegality of the evidence collection process and the validity of the evidence are still rather vague at present..." Rubbing their foreheads, the people in the relevant departments were having a headache. How should they handle this matter?
In the end, the relevant departments decided to deal with the relevant facts.
Due to improper management, Shenchuan Company's store employees privately installed unauthorized systems.
Therefore, Shenchuan Company was ordered to immediately stop such behavior and was fined 50 yuan as an administrative penalty.
This is already a very good result for Shenchuan Company, and Wu Jun has nothing to say.
Therefore, Shenchuan’s stores strictly prohibit helping customers install operating systems, and they will not do it even if they are paid, forcing them to do it themselves.
Don't even think about leaving the Shenchuan store and asking Shenchuan employees to help you with the system, as they will seize on this point.
Soon, a strange sight appeared. Not far outside the Shenchuan store, some small stalls popped up, specializing in helping customers install the system. The fee was not expensive, only a dozen yuan.
The stall owner is not an employee of Shenchuan, so Microsoft should have nothing to say.
But what the divine ship lost was not half a million, but its reputation and prestige.
This is much higher than half a million.
The Shenchuan suffered such a huge setback that other competitors were overjoyed and began to publicize the matter vigorously.
The punishment results are all public. Besides, how could Microsoft let this matter remain unknown?
As time went by, the matter immediately became a big deal, and almost all platforms reported the incident on a large scale in a short period of time.
But Microsoft refused to give in and spread the word that it would sue Shenchuan Company because the punishment from the relevant departments was not strong enough!
The specific process was soon uncovered and the details became known to everyone.
Netizens were furious and argued a lot about the illegal collection of evidence. What's interesting is that this time, there was no need for internet trolls to lead the discussion. Netizens in Xia country were already arguing about it and were seriously discussing whether Microsoft's approach was appropriate.
"The evidence collection was against the rules! How can it be used?"
"It is true that there were violations. If you check the surveillance cameras of Shenchuan store, Shenchuan Company should be fined."
"But! Isn't it inadmissible to obtain evidence in violation of regulations?"
"The relevant spirit is that if illegal evidence collection seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of others and seriously violates public order and good customs, it cannot be adopted. But the benefits obtained by Shenchuan in doing so are not legal, and Microsoft is protecting its own rights and interests, so it should be adopted."
"Come on, the US itself doesn't adopt it, and the installation program is free, so what's the benefit? What are you saying for the foreigners?"
"Just stick to the facts! You can just say it yourself. If everyone knew that Shenchuan didn't install the Windows system, would they still buy it? It is precisely because of this behavior of tacitly allowing employees to install the system that everyone buys Shenchuan, and Shenchuan benefits from it!"
"Bullshit! Many people buy it whether it is installed or not. Don't you know how long the queue is? People asked the clerk to install it purely out of trust in the Shenchuan. What's so great about going out to install it? It's worth making such a fuss!"
"Okay! According to what you said, the evidence of secretly filmed videos is wrong! Then how can the secretly filmed videos by reporters become evidence in court? Haven't you watched legal programs? When has anyone filmed a crime openly? And the evidence collected by relevant departments is also mostly secret. Do you dare to say they are wrong?"
"Let me answer this! Journalists have the right to supervise, and relevant departments have the right to enforce the law, but does Microsoft have such power in Xiaguo?"
Netizens are arguing, lawyers are arguing, everyone can say one, two, three, four, it seems that everyone is right, but also it seems that no one is right.
Competitors don't care whether the means are appropriate or not, they have only one direction of attack - Shenchuan has not obtained the Windows license, not even the operating system! But they have it!
Lianxiang, HP, Dell and other companies took advantage of the situation and vigorously promoted that they had genuine operating systems that could be used as soon as the computer was turned on.
And it's the latest WIN7.
Isn’t it great? What’s even better is that we will arrange upgrade services within a few years, so that users don’t have to worry about the future.
From this, we can also imagine how much these computer companies have to pay for Microsoft to provide such services.
In addition to the discussion on the legality of Microsoft's evidence collection, the focus of public opinion on the Internet was directed to another direction - whether it was right for Shenchuan to use pirated products.
On this point, only a very small number of people think that it is right for Shenchuan employees to install pirated operating systems, which shows that the three views of the vast majority are correct.
Even though most Chinese people use pirated Windows, they still think that using pirated software is wrong, but they are just too embarrassed to admit it in front of others.
Since Microsoft is angry and has spread the word that it is going to sue, Shenchuan has to find a way to calm the matter down, or at least communicate and see if the situation can be salvaged.
Wu Jun really has concerns about filing a lawsuit.
First of all, Shenchuan was at fault in this matter itself. In the beginning, they asked their employees to install the operating system for customers in their own name, which was simply an attempt to cover up their own mistakes.
The customer is in the Shenchuan store, the system is installed in the Shenchuan store, and the installer is still its own employee. The company has no responsibility?
Secondly, there is no good outcome from litigation.
Even if Shenchuan Company wins the lawsuit in the end, what impression will a company involved in lawsuits leave on its suppliers, partners, and potential customers?
In everyone's eyes, Shenchuan Company is unreliable and has a very negative image.
If the lawsuit drags on for several years, Shenchuan Company's development will undoubtedly be slowed down by such an image.
Today's Shenchuan can't withstand any more strain, and it's hard to restore some of its reputation.
If I get involved in a lawsuit again, I will become a bad person in all aspects.
Moreover, can Shenchuan Company really win this lawsuit?
How many years has it been since Xiaguo joined the international market?
How much of other people's laws have you learned?
How many international business cases have you encountered? There are only a few talents in foreign-related law, and it is unknown how high their level is.
It’s different in the United States. They have plenty of experience and extensive practical experience in litigation around the world.
To put it bluntly, the domestic foreign-related lawyer team is likely to have learned things from the United States, and they are not the best. The best talents are more likely to stay in the United States, and their income is completely different.
Shenchuan adopted a conciliatory attitude, and Microsoft's headquarters in Xiaguo had a brief talk with Shenchuan.
To be honest, Microsoft looks down on Shenchuan's operations, which are done in secret, even though they collected evidence in secret...
But after all, Shenchuan Company had pirated the products first, so we couldn't get evidence using normal evidence-gathering methods and could only fish for evidence.
"Since Shenchuan Company intends to cooperate in exchange for the withdrawal of the lawsuit, then please settle the piracy fees you owe us!"
"What? Piracy fees?" The people on the Shenchuan ship thought they had heard it wrong.
