Chapter 1422

"Have we violated Microsoft's security agreement?" after receiving this lawyer's letter, Ma Yun thought it was nonsense at first, but reminded by the Secretary, he still found the lawyer for consultation.

"Judging from the Microsoft agreement, we have indeed violated the Microsoft security agreement!" the lawyer finally confirmed after reading the Microsoft Security Agreement for four hours.

No way. This lawyer met this case of violating Microsoft's security agreement for the first time. Naturally, he had to read the whole security agreement.

This is only a rough look. If you want to study it carefully, it is impossible without 10 days and a half months.

"According to the provisions of this security agreement, our software can only run on the system architecture of Microsoft, follow the operation logic of Microsoft system, and shall not delete or modify the system files."

"This security agreement is very meticulous, including the system patch, which is specially specified and covered within the scope of the agreement, so our software deleting Microsoft's system patch is indeed in violation of Microsoft's security agreement, and Microsoft's lawyer has no problem!" the lawyer whispered.

After all, what you say is not conducive to QQ, and QQ is your gold owner.

"I don't know!" Ma Yun was forced. Unlike Ma Huateng, who majored in computer science, Ma Yun was born in English. He didn't have a little software foundation and didn't know programming at all. He just found that the prospect of the network industry was unlimited, so he joined the network industry.

So Mayun doesn't understand some hidden rules of the software. As a program, it can't delete system files.

Of course, Ma Yun is not to blame. After all, there are all kinds of pirated Windows systems everywhere in the Chinese market, and there are many tutorials on various forums to modify system files to realize special functions.

Even, many software itself has the function of modifying the system, which is very common in the market, but Microsoft has never managed it.

That's why Ali's technical executives also directly suggested this method. After all, in their opinion, Microsoft won't care about modifying a small patch of the system. That's what everyone does.

However, Ma Yun never thought that this system patch was for QQ, and Microsoft paid unprecedented attention to QQ. Then, the whole Microsoft was burning with great anger.

"If we follow the normal process, how can we solve this problem?" Ma Yun asked.

"According to the above agreement, if the system causes obstacles to the operation of the software, it should be modified by the software itself to make the software adapt to various parameters of the system. Microsoft has no obligation to modify the system for a software!" the lawyer whispered.

"TMD..." Ma Yun's face became ugly. His initial idea was to modify the software adaptation system, but the speed was too slow and he had to wait too long.

And why, why do you want us to bear the loss and modify the program when Microsoft has a bad patch full of bugs?

"It seems that only some special means can be used!" Ma Yun said to himself. "You can apologize!"

Apologize, it doesn't cost money. Why don't you apologize!

"The compensation of $1000 is OK..." although $10 million makes Ma Yun very painful, Ali can't afford it.

But deleting that little software is Ma Yun's last thing. In that case, QQ will collapse again.

"In this way, you help me draw up a reply letter to Microsoft and tell them that we are willing to apologize for our wrong behavior and pay certain compensation. However, I hope Microsoft can issue a new patch in the near future to solve the problem that our QQ will automatically crash!" Ma Yun said.

"Yes!" the lawyer nodded. He thought Ma Yun had this attitude. He was willing to admit his mistake and apologize. Then the case was easy to solve. After all, Microsoft made both compensation and face!

But what neither lawyer nor Ma Yun expected was that Microsoft's reply was very fast. After the reply was sent out, only two hours later, Microsoft's reply came, but the content was more unacceptable.

First of all, Microsoft said that it can apologize, but there is no point in apologizing in the reply letter. QQ must publish a public apology letter on the mainstream newspapers in various countries all over the world.

Then, if the compensation is $10 million, not a word can be less. And if the infringement does not stop for one day, it will increase the compensation by US $2 million every day.

Finally, Microsoft said that there was no problem with their patch, but there was a problem with the QQ program itself. If QQ wants to solve the problem of crash, it should optimize its own program instead of expecting Microsoft to delete an updated patch that can improve system stability and benefit more users.

This reply completely made Ma Yun speechless.

Apologize publicly in news newspapers all over the world, not to mention how much negative impact it will have on QQ. Just the cost of publishing an apology is a huge expense.

There are 10 million compensation. First know what the figure is.

But in fact, Ma Yun can accept both of them. After all, QQ is a program. How can it fight with Microsoft's system.

But Microsoft's behavior that I'm not wrong. It's all you who are wrong. You must correct yourself. Ma Yun has nothing to say.

It's like someone slapped you indiscriminately and told you that you should think about why I hit you and try to correct yourself instead of asking me why I hit you!

Ma Yun has begun to be angry, but he still didn't think that this is a means for Microsoft to compete with itself for MSN. It's just a contradiction in the system and the unique arrogance of large American enterprises.

However, Ma Yun's anger lasted only a short time. Then he calmed down and began to think about how to solve the problem.

Here, we must praise the Chinese people and the traditional wisdom of China, because Ma Yun soon thought of what he thought was a pretty good solution.

"You draw up a very sincere letter of apology for me, apologize to Microsoft again, and say that we didn't release the program intentionally or unintentionally, and we apologize for our ignorant behavior!" Ma Yun said to the lawyer. Anyway, it doesn't cost money to apologize.

And as long as it is not published in the media, who knows he apologized.

"Inform the operation Department to immediately close the previous system push and download websites, and don't provide downloads, so as not to start the price for others!" Ma Yunzhuan ordered the secretary.

"Yes, chairman!"

"But tell the people in the operation Department and ask them to find some people to go to our official forum to specially reply to the posts that raise the problem of computer crash, and then they guide them to another website to download our program!"

"By the way, don't use our domestic website for this website. Let our people directly apply for the download website in the United States, but also apply for it by individuals. Anyway, we must not have any relationship with us!"

"In addition, you let our background add a program to detect users. Once a user's QQ suddenly goes offline, and then suddenly goes online in a very short time, you will arrange our customer service to add his friends as an ordinary user, chat with him, talk casually, directly talk about the sudden collapse, and then directly give him the website of the forum post!"

"Yes!" the secretary looked at Ma Yun with admiration. He was worthy of being the top entrepreneur in China. He had the wisdom of Chinese characteristics. He built the plank road in the open and concealed it. It was really beautiful.

"Hum, you Microsoft can toss me, but you don't have the ability to toss ordinary netizens!" Ma Yun scolded.
