"Internet cafes are different from traditional infringers!" Yang Yuanqing continued. "The owners of these internet cafes are using computers to do business, and the infringement will be more serious!"
"Secondly, internet cafes are not like companies or individuals. Their computers are displayed in public, and everyone can testify for you. They are using pirated Windows operating system, and you can sue them for it."
"Most importantly, these internet cafes' owners' businesses depend on these computers. Once the lawsuit is successful, these internet cafes' owners will have to pay the infringement fees. If not, their licenses will be revoked, and they will not be able to operate."
"That's why if Microsoft sues these internet cafes, the owners will have to pay the licensing fees. If not, they will be forced to shut down. Also, there are not many internet cafes in China, and Microsoft can sue all of them. "
"Actually, I think we only need to send a lawyer's letter to inform them of the consequences if they do not pay the licensing fees. These internet cafes will weigh the pros and cons. That's why we only need to sue a few hundred internet cafes!"
"These internet cafes currently have at least 100,000 computers, and each computer costs a licensing fee of 1,000 RMB. 100,000 computers would be a licensing fee of 100 million RMB, which is equivalent to more than 10 million USD in additional fees!" Yang Yuanqing's voice was like a devil's whisper, constantly echoing in Du Jiabin's ears.
More importantly, Du Jiabin understood that Yang Yuanqing was right. As long as he went to sue, the victory would definitely belong to him. These gaming companies didn't dare to not pay, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to continue operating. It was indeed a good business that could earn tens of millions of dollars with just a lawyer's letter!
"Why are you telling me all this?" Du Jiabin looked at Yang Yuanqing in puzzlement.
"It's very simple. It's because Meiliang pays up to 30 million USD a year in licensing fees, but these internet cafes don't pay a single cent. We feel that it's unfair. Why should we be the only one paying? This is unfair, right?" Yang Yuanqing laughed.
"If your company does not take decisive action and allow these commercial internet cafes to use Windows operating system without paying licensing fees, then Meiliang will not have to pay the licensing fees anymore!" Yang Yuanqing said. This is a direct threat to Microsoft.
"Someone is threatening Microsoft to collect the royalties from the original version!" Du Jiabin shook his head in disbelief. But Yang Yuanqing is right. He must collect this sum of money. If not, Microsoft will become the dumbest company in the world.
If things went wrong, Mei Liang, their only customer, would disappear.
"Then, goodbye!" After Yang Yuanqing finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"But this guy is really vicious!" Du Jiabin stared deeply at Yang Yuanqing's back. Just because he was unwilling to give up, he wanted to destroy the entire Hua Xia's internet café industry. Simply …
"But I like it!" Du Jiabin smiled. No matter how vicious Yang Yuanqing is, this is a good thing for Microsoft. In the future, all the internet cafes in China will have to pay Microsoft licensing fees if they want to buy a PC.
Now, it was 100,000 computers. In the future, it would be 1,000,000 or even 2,000,000 computers.
Hua Xia will have a few hundred million USD in profits. With this result, Du Jiabin will be transferred back to the United States headquarters. He will have a higher position in Microsoft!
"So there are really free things in this world!" Du Jiabin laughed and started to instruct his men to take action.

"Boss, a letter for you!" Zhang Zhahui, who had just woken up from his resting room, stretched himself comfortably and saw the letter delivered to him by the postman.
"Someone is sending me a letter?!" When Zhang Zahui heard that there was a letter for him, he was very surprised. He had lived for dozens of years, and he had never received a letter from others!
"Boss, it must be because you are rich, and your friends and relatives know about it. Didn't they say that no one knows the poor in the city, but the rich have distant relatives in the village? "The internet café's manager, who used to be Zhang Zhahui's brother, laughed.
"You are not bad. You even know how to use idioms!" Zhang Zhahui laughed. Zhang Zhahui is very proud of himself.
In less than half a year, Feng Yu had recovered all his investment in the internet café. Now, he had made nearly 50,000 RMB, which is more than his father working in Daqian.
Now, he, Zhang Zhahui, was a celebrity in the entire courtyard. Wu Mengtian, who used to look down on him in the courtyard and got into a college, was now throwing flirtatious glances at him all day long.
It was a pity that Zhang Zhahui no longer liked Wu Mengtian. He had a new girlfriend, a little beauty from the Academy of Arts. She was only in high school, and she was full of life. Zhang Zhahui no longer liked Wu Mengtian, who once seemed unattainable.
More importantly, Zhang Zhahui has an ambitious plan. First, he wants to increase the number of computers in his internet café to 1,000 and become the biggest internet café in Yuzhang City.
Secondly, he wants to set up other internet cafés in other districts of Yuzhang City. He wants to make Blue Speed Internet Café a famous chain internet café in the country, and he, Zhang Zhahui, will become a business tycoon.
Cough cough. But for now, Zhang Zhahui should kill the boss first. "Diablo OL" has recently updated the level cap of 35, and there are many interesting maps, bosses, and new equipment. Zhang Zhahui is still the number one player in server 1.
Although Zhang Zhahui is no longer able to put all his energy into the game, his account is being played by his two brothers. This is the first time he has boosted his account.
After thinking about so many things, Zhang Zhahui suddenly realized that he had not even read the letter.
He shook his head helplessly and looked at the letter curiously. It was mailed from the Imperial Capital, and the sender wrote "Microsoft Hua Xia Company".
What is this Microsoft Hua Xia Company? Selling health products?
God knows how Zhang Zhahui managed to open an internet café. He doesn't even know what Microsoft is.
Zhang Zhahui opened the letter disappointedly and realized that the words inside were printed. There wasn't much content in the letter, and Zhang Zhahui only took less than a minute to finish reading it. He immediately went to his manager and asked, "Xiao Wu, is the system used in our internet café the Microsoft system?"
"Yes!" The manager looked at his boss curiously. He didn't know why his boss would ask such a childish question, but he still added, "All the internet cafés in Hua Xia are using Microsoft's Windows 95 system. Is there a problem?"
"Then is the system we are using authentic?" Zhang Zhahui asked again.
"What authentic? Why are you asking me this question? Shouldn't you be asking yourself? " Xiao Wu complained in his heart. Of course, only his boss would know if the computer system was paid for. How would he know?
Of course, with Xiao Wu's understanding of computer systems, his internet café's system must be pirated. In fact, all the internet cafés in Hua Xia were using pirated systems. What's wrong with that?
"I … don't think so …" Xiao Wu hesitated and said.
"I'm in big trouble this time!" Zhang Zhahui sighed. Did he really have to spend money to avoid this disaster?
