After Zhang Zhahui calmed down, he immediately went to look for Shen Hailong and asked him the question. After all, both parties are investing in this internet cafe, and Shen Hailong needs to make the decision.
More importantly, Zhang Zhahui knows Shen Hailong is more knowledgeable than him. He knows the meaning behind this lawyer's letter and how to deal with it. That's why Zhang Zhahui asked Shen Hailong to make the decision.
"How is it? Can you think of a way to avoid this sum of money?" Zhang Zhahui asked.
"It's very difficult!" Shen Hailong shook his head. "Since the other party's lawyer's letter is here, that means they have found out about our internet cafe's situation. They might have sent their men into our internet cafe to take evidence. If we go to court, we will lose!"
"Impossible. We are all Hua Xia people. Shouldn't the court take care of our own people?" Zhang Zhahui asked.
"What kind of ridiculous idea is that?" Hearing this, Shen Hailong was dumbfounded and said helplessly, "The court has never taken care of itself. Otherwise, everyone in Huaxia is one of us. Then the court might as well not look at any case, because the defendant and the plaintiff are both from Huaxia!"
"It's different. This time, the plaintiff is from the United States. Also, we are not the only internet cafe involved in this case. From what I know, the other big internet cafes in Yuzhang City had also received the lawyer's letter. I estimate there are at least a few hundred internet cafes in China. "
"So many people are working together, and the court can't possibly rule against us. Didn't they say that the law cannot punish the majority?" Zhang Zhahui said.
"The law cannot punish the majority? That depends on the number of people involved. To be honest, all the internet cafes only have a few hundred people. A state-owned enterprise with hundreds of thousands of employees collapsed just like that. How could the court care about the matter of a few hundred people?! " Shen Hailong shook his head. "More importantly, this is a foreign-related case, and the country is encouraging all companies to start their own businesses overseas. At the same time, Hua Xia cares about its international image. With Microsoft's evidence, the government will not help you. If not, Hua Xia will lose face, and we will not be able to do business with other countries. "
"Then according to what you said, if we go to court, we will definitely lose!" Zhang Zahui was helpless.
"It can't be helped. Who asked you to use someone else's system, but you didn't pay for it? We have indeed committed a crime. This can't be cleared!" Shen Hailong also sighed.
"But no one has ever told me that I have to spend money to buy a genuine system!"
"Besides, this system is too expensive. It's just a CD, and they want us to pay 1000 RMB for it. And it can't be used by all computers. Each computer can only use one disc. "
"A system is worth one-third of the price of a computer. Is there any logic in this world?" Zhang Zhahui howled angrily.
"It can't be helped. Since you're using someone else's system, it's up to them to set the price!" Shen Hailong sighed.
"Then can we change to another system?" Zhang Zhahui asked. "There should be other computer systems on the market that are cheaper!"
"I'm very sorry, but there really isn't any!" Shen Hailong shook his head. "Currently, there are only two systems in the market that can interact with graphical interfaces. One is Microsoft, and the other is Apple's system. "
"But Apple's system is only installed on Apple's own computers. Their system is not open to the public. So, if you want to install a graphical interface system in an internet cafe, you can only buy Microsoft's system!"
"That's impossible. This system is so profitable. One system is selling for 1000 RMB. This is such a good business. If I have a sum of money, I will also develop a system!" Zhang Zhahui said.
"It's because only one system is useless. If the software can't be installed, the other systems are useless!" Shen Hailong looked at Zhang Zhahui, who was still in a daze. He could only explain tiredly, "Simply put, it's like a man and a woman.
For example, the Windows system is a man. Now, all the programs on the Windows system are women. They can mate freely and have children. "
"But the new system isn't a man. It's a male monkey. It can only mate with female monkeys. It can't mate with female humans, let alone have children!"
"This is the difference between the two systems. Even if someone does develop a new system, all the previous programs are adapted for the Windows system. These programs can't be installed on the new system. This means that even if you install the new system, you won't be able to use the previous programs."
"Let's take your internet café as an example. If you install a new system in your internet café, but all your games including Diablo can't run, would you still use the new system?" Shen Hailong's analogy was very accurate.
"Actually, it's not like male monkeys can't …" Zhang Zhahui mumbled. Shen Hailong wanted to chase Zhang Zhahui out.
"Then, Old Shen, just tell me what I should do!" Zhang Zhahui said quickly.
"Is there no other way other than to pay the fee honestly?" Shen Hailong was helpless. He was just a student. How could he figure out a problem that countless business elites couldn't solve?
"Actually, it's all Xiaomi's fault. If only they installed the original system on their computers. Now we have to pay!" Zhang Zhahui complained.
"What does this have to do with Xiaomi?" Shen Hailong suddenly became alert. Others might not know, but Shen Hailong knew that Xiaomi was also a Daqian company.
According to his mother's plan, Shen Hailong would enter the Daqian Empire sooner or later and become a part of the Daqian Empire. He was still alert!
"It's just that Xiaomi's computers don't come with the original program. I heard that Meiliang's computers come with the original Windows system. If I had known, I would've bought Meiliang's computers!" Zhang Zhahui sighed again.
"Forget it. Did you forget that Meiliang's computers cost more than ten thousand RMB? Isn't that more of a loss than buying the system with an extra thousand RMB? "Shen Hailong said impatiently.
"That was in the past. It's different now. Meiliang has introduced a computer that targets internet cafes. I've seen it. It's similar to Xiaomi's. Although it's a few hundred RMB more expensive, they have installed the original Windows system. As long as you buy their computers, you don't have to pay the license fee!"
"It's a pity that they launched this event earlier. It's still a loss!" Zhang Zhahui mumbled to himself. He noticed that Shen Hailong was deep in thought.
