Chapter 1585

"I pronounce the sentence on behalf of the court and the jury!" the judge shouted. Everyone in the audience immediately got up and listened to the verdict.

"The crime of illegal profit of Hongmeng group is not established..."

With the judge constantly reading out the judgment, all reporters were very surprised that 9 of the 13 charges charged by Microsoft were not established, and only 4 of the last charges were established, which shocked many people. Didn't Hongmeng plead guilty? How come there were only four convictions?

Soon, the reason given by the court in the judgment was that the nine rejected charges involved illegal profit.

But the problem is that Pangu axe software itself is not profitable, and the Hongmeng system related to Pangu axe is also not profitable. Even the whole Hongmeng company has played the image of a loose money boy so far. All businesses are in a state of loss, and there is no profit at all.

So all the crimes related to illegal profit are not convicted.

In fact, this result has long been doomed in the eyes of many legal professionals. After all, Hongmeng is a newly established enterprise. The current accounts and commercial projects are extremely clear. People don't intend to make money at all. All things are given free, so the charges related to illegal profit can't be identified.

In fact, Microsoft itself knows that these nine charges are difficult to identify. The reason why they add them is to put pressure on Hongmeng, which is a very common means in commercial litigation.

However, the other four infringement related charges were all established, which made Microsoft representatives nod. Next, it depends on the court's final judgment.

According to Microsoft's prediction, the best result of the final judgment is to directly judge the infringement of Hongmeng system and require Hongmeng system to stop operation.

The worst result is to stop the operation of Pangu axe software, apologize and give Microsoft a huge compensation.

Then, the people heard the judge announce that "from the date of this judgment, Hongmeng company will immediately stop the relevant operation of Pangu axe software and delete all download and sales channels. At the same time, Hongmeng company should publicly apologize to Microsoft group in the newspaper and compensate Microsoft group by US $100000."

"What, only $100000 compensation!" the people of Microsoft group suddenly stood up and looked at the final trial result in disbelief.

This result is directly the worst result in their prediction. Let alone, the court only sent a compensation of $100000. What the hell is this judgment??

You know, the courts in the United States have ordered the defendant to pay tens of millions of dollars for a small skin injury.

But Hongmeng only awarded a compensation of 100000 US dollars for infringing Microsoft. Is this teasing children?

Is there justice and justice in this world?

The representative of Microsoft immediately stood up. At the same time, the lawyer of Microsoft asked the court to give relevant explanations, so the jury secretary said, "today, when the jury held a collegial discussion, the jury said that because Pangu axe was not profitable, there were no illegal gains of Hongmeng group!"

"At the same time, Microsoft has not suffered any loss because of Pangu axe software, so the compensation of 100000 US dollars is the maximum compensation given by the jury!!"

"Jurors, don't you see the documents we provided? Now Hongmeng system has more than 2 million installed users, and these installed users are transferred from our Microsoft system to Hongmeng system because they have received the deception of Pangu axe software. According to the cost of $99 per win system, this is a huge loss of $200 million Ah! "The lawyer of Microsoft group defended.

"First of all, your evidence only proves that Hongmeng system has about 2 million installed capacity, but it can not prove that these 2 million users are transferred from the users of win system!"

"In addition, even if these users were users of the win system before, I think they have paid the legitimate licensing fee of the win system, and they also have the right to choose other systems, so they have not caused substantive infringement on Microsoft!" the Secretary of the jury said calmly.

"But without Pangu axe, they would not choose Hongmeng, but would continue to choose to use the win system!" the representative of Microsoft explained.

"Enough!" said the judge. "Please respect the jury's conclusion. If you are not satisfied with the verdict, please appeal to the high court. Today's verdict is over!"

After the judge said that, he left the court directly. Zhou Hongwei bowed to the representative of Microsoft, and then the people with Hongmeng left the court, leaving only the people of Microsoft helpless to look at the microphone of the besieged reporter, and then left without saying a word.

The noisy trial ended so quietly.

A few days later, the powerful media found the members of the jury, and then the member counted what happened during the collegial meeting.

In short, the jury members are very satisfied with Hongmeng's attitude and feel that Zhou Hongwei and Hongmeng are actually good people and enterprises, and they should be tolerated appropriately.

Secondly, the light sentence of Hongmeng is also beneficial to the teaching of latecomers.

From the jury's point of view, Zhou Hongwei and Hongmeng group have the courage to admit their mistakes, which is very encouraging, so they should have an appropriate attitude and give support.

Otherwise, if the sentence is still heavy, in the future, in the face of the same situation, all criminals will try every means to sophistry and plead not guilty, which will greatly reduce the moral quality of citizens. Therefore, we should encourage excellent attitudes.

Finally, as for why the compensation is set so low, the jury member gave a rather unreasonable answer: "among the 32 jury members, 20 are white-collar jobs in the company, most of them have higher education and need to contact computers for a long time!"

Of course, the reporter didn't understand the answer, so he continued to ask. The jury member then said, "so they've long been fed up with the Win98 system, which is expensive and crashes once a day."

"We people of insight agree that because Microsoft monopolizes the system market for a long time, they are too arrogant, ignore the user experience and just make money. Therefore, Microsoft needs a competitor. Only in this way can Microsoft and win really consider customers, rather than feel that they have no competitors and can cut users as leeks!"
