Chapter 3107: XP Not 1998, only 998

w Fight against piracy!

This term is by no means unfamiliar to Chinese netizens. This every year sets off a wave of crackdowns on piracy across the country. Many netizens are used to this and can no longer get used to it. Anyway, when cracking down on piracy, just go online and download it. Anyway, it will definitely be available on the Internet. Even if there is no domestic website, you can always download it if you go to a foreign website over the firewall. As for various circumvention software, many AV otakus are already familiar with it in order to be able to download the latest movies of their favorite goddesses.

Therefore, combating piracy is nothing more than a slogan in the minds of Chinese netizens. Just like a monk chanting Amitabha Buddha, it is purely for show and has no actual meaning. Therefore, this seemingly unprecedented scale of anti-piracy activities is carried out by Microsoft, the International Anti-Piracy Association, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of China. For many netizens, it is just scratching the surface. It doesn’t matter. . No one took it seriously.

Of course, although he didn't take it seriously, he still insulted Ballmer and Microsoft as much as he wanted on the Internet. After all, Lin Feng and Microsoft are mortal enemies now. As a Chinese and a loyal The 'divine disciple' naturally wants to support Lin Feng. What's more, if Microsoft cracks down on piracy, isn't that killing their only sense of pride? Although China is poor and most of their netizens are just bastards, they can enjoy any software in the world. On average, the amount of software used by each Chinese person in a year is six times that of developed Western countries, including the United States, which ranks first in the world. This data is enough to make every Chinese netizen proud.

Of course, this pride is a bit self-deceptive. But it’s not anyone’s fault. Who makes genuine software so expensive? If there were only genuine versions in China, I'm afraid computers wouldn't be so popular at all.

"Hmph. Piracy! I want you to pay the heaviest price for your previous piracy this time!" Ballmer punched the desk hard.

At this time, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of China. Many heads had a headache. this time. Pressure from the U.S. Department of Commerce, pressure from the United Nations, and pressure from Microsoft requires China’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce to cooperate with Microsoft in a comprehensive crackdown on piracy. In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce cannot refuse, but it cannot implement it either. This refusal is definitely unreasonable and protects intellectual property rights. This is the trend of modern society. Every country and every citizen has the responsibility and obligation to protect intellectual property rights. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce must not refuse.

But go ahead and execute it. 'Microsoft' is serious this time, and the target of 'Microsoft' is Lin Feng. This Lin Feng is the pride of China. Word has long passed down from above that local governments must take a longer-term view, actively cultivate national brands, spare no effort to support Chinese private enterprises, and not hinder the development of Chinese national enterprises. These words. He was talking about big things at a macro level, but as an official who knows how to figure out the intentions of the higher-ups, who wouldn't know that the main target of these words is Lin Feng. We need local governments to support Lam Feng and not hold him back.

You said, in this case, fight against piracy. What if Lin Feng is hit? Aren’t those left and right people?

"All right,

Please ask your superiors for instructions! "In the end, in desperation, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce could only ask the Ministry of Commerce for instructions, and the decision would be made by the higher authorities.

The Ministry of Commerce has nothing to do about this. Commissioners from the U.S. Embassy, ​​the United Nations, and Microsoft's anti-piracy team are all sitting in the reception room of the Ministry of Commerce, demanding that Chinese officials cooperate with this anti-piracy operation. You said, can the Ministry of Commerce refuse? Can't refuse. To reject this is to follow the truth.

I have no choice but to continue asking for instructions from above.

"Hmph, I don't believe that the US government and the United Nations are dispatched at the same time, and the Chinese government dares to stop it!" - The Japanese vice president of Microsoft and the leader of the anti-piracy team, Japanese Yuki Furukawa, snorted proudly.

This time 'Microsoft' sent him to China to fight against Chinese piracy, and its intention was of course self-evident, which was to use his Japanese identity to come to China to dominate and cause trouble for Lin Feng and disgust Lin Feng. Furukawa Xiang didn't mind this. He is a Japanese, and the Chinese and the Japanese have a feud that cannot be resolved. And Lin Feng is the most hated object by the Japanese. Therefore, he was very happy to bring the Microsoft team to trouble Lin Feng. He was more than happy. Moreover, this time, he will do his best to cause trouble for Lin Feng, and it is best to find out something about Lin Feng.

trouble! In the end, this thorny matter was uploaded all the way to Mr. Wen’s desk. Originally, this kind of anti-piracy incident would be settled at the Ministry of Commerce at most, and it would be impossible for it to be escalated to Mr. Wen. Although Mr. Wen is in charge of all affairs, he is only one person after all, and it is impossible for him to intervene in everything. Therefore, generally speaking, Mr. Wen only cares about big things. This small matter of combating piracy does not require Mr. Wen to worry about. This is unnecessary.

But Mr. Wen once said something, of course, not in public, but in private. Mr. Wen said something like this in private - there is nothing trivial about Lin Feng.

This sentence was previously used to refer to "nothing is trivial for the masses", but Mr. Wen used it to Lin Feng, which shows that Mr. Wen attaches great importance to Lin Feng. Although Mr. Wen said this in private, there is no airtight wall in this world. What's more, when Mr. Wen said this in private, he was using this "permeable wall" to get his words out, so this naturally spread Went down below. This crackdown on piracy has nothing to do with Lin Feng. It is purely a unilateral act of Microsoft. Lin Feng's company is also a genuine software company, and it is not a piracy software company like Tomato Garden. Therefore, on the surface, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Feng.

But everyone knows that at the press conference, Microsoft President Ballmer implicitly accused Lin Feng of condoning piracy, and specifically selected China as a base to combat piracy. Isn't this clearly directed at Lin Feng? Since this was for Lin Feng, they naturally had to report it to their superiors.

Mr. Wen massaged his temples. He was really convinced. When Lin Feng was not at ease, troubles always came one after another, which sometimes really made him exhausted. And now this situation. But he is really not good at defending his shortcomings. After all, 'Microsoft' is here to combat piracy, not Lin Feng. Can he stop it?

"Okay. Let the industrial and commercial department fully cooperate with their actions. But upload a copy of each day's itinerary to me." Mr. Wen thought for a while and ordered. If 'Microsoft' is just cracking down on piracy normally, then China will cooperate. This piracy is rampant. Although the country has no choice but to crack down on piracy to the end, it must crack down from time to time to prevent piracy from becoming too rampant and ultimately destroying the prosperity of the genuine industry. It might as well be to use Microsoft's hand to attack this time.

Of course, if Microsoft were to point its finger at Lin Feng, then Mr. Wen would have to inform Lin Feng to get ready. This is China, and Microsoft wants to find some leverage against Lin Feng. That's delusional. If Lin Feng cannot be protected in China, then the country has failed.

"Guys, this is your authorization letter. This time, the industrial and commercial department will fully cooperate with you to combat piracy. However, our leaders also said that although combating piracy is necessary, please also proceed with caution. Avoid disrupting our Chinese market. Once If someone deliberately causes trouble and disrupts the market, our country will expel them," a director from the Ministry of Commerce warned, handing the authorization letter issued by the Ministry of Commerce to Furukawa.

Furukawa took the authorization letter politely. Then bow deeply. But when he bowed, the smile on his face turned into disdain and coldness. To cause trouble, hehe, they are here to cause trouble, just to cause trouble for Lin Feng. If they didn't cause trouble for Lin Feng, why would they come to China? Fight piracy? Is China’s crackdown on piracy easy?

Immediately, Furukawa took the authorization letter and, with the helpless cooperation of the industrial and commercial departments, began to comprehensively crack down on piracy. However, they divided their troops into several groups and visited several major cities, but did not find any piracy. Those legendary pirated optical disc sales bases, those pirated streets, had long disappeared before Furukawa Yuang and others came. There have been rumors of this kind of thing coming from above. These pirates will naturally choose to go out of business in these days. Of course, instead of selling pirated CDs, they can sell genuine CDs.

"Come on, genuine 'xp', genuine 'xp', discounted 'xp', useless 'xp', who wants to buy it! The original price is 1998, the current price is only 998, only 998! Buy two get one free, buy three get two free "Hey!" On a piracy street in Beijing, many originally pirated merchants were now shouting slogans about selling genuine optical discs. But no matter how you listen to this slogan, how can you sell cabbage to others?

Furukawa Heng took several staff members and a group of people from the industrial and commercial management department to sweep around and found that they were still selling genuine software and no pirated ones. He frowned slightly. His target this time was Lin Feng, but before that, he also wanted to scare the monkeys and find a few pirates to show off their power. He's Japanese, and he has a lot of hatred towards the Chinese. He is now leading a group of Chinese industrial and commercial managers to crack down on piracy and arrest Chinese people. How impressive. Of course, this idea is a bit narrow-minded and trivial. But there are really not many Japanese people who are generous. Of course, Furukawa's tolerance is a little more generous, otherwise he would not be the vice president of Microsoft. This is a 17th-level salary figure at Microsoft.

Of course, the measurement is only a little bigger.

But he didn't expect that when he turned around, he didn't find anyone selling pirated copies. This doesn't look like a piracy kingdom, this is simply a genuine kingdom. However, Furukawa Xiang still had a little knowledge of Chinese. When he listened carefully, he found something was wrong.

Why is ‘XP’ sold so cheaply? This is unreasonable! its not right!

"Hey, why is your XP so off?" Furukawa asked directly, enjoying a not so fluent Chinese.

"Ah, what did you say?" One of the pirates who was asked was a little dazed and couldn't quite understand what he meant.

"This boss, is he talking about why your XP system is so cheap?" the translator next to him added.

"Cheap? There is an old saying in China that good goods are not cheap, and good goods are not cheap. If they are cheap, it means they are not good!" said the pirate with disdain. These pirates have a very vicious vision. Of course, even if he didn't have a vicious eye, he could still tell the origins of these people at a glance.

With a group of people in industrial and commercial uniforms, wandering in this pirate street, if not to fight piracy, what are they here for? This is clearly the legendary "Microsoft" anti-piracy action team. For such people, he naturally knows how to answer.

Furukawa Hiroshi has only studied Chinese a little bit, not very proficient, and the pirate spoke with a Beijing accent and a long string of tongue twisters, which he naturally couldn't understand. After repeatedly asking the translator next to him, he was immediately angry. He actually said that "XP" is a rubbish, which is simply unreasonable!

"Baga! XP is the best operating system in the world!" Furukawa Hiroshi roared angrily in English.

Baga? Damn, it's Japanese! The pirate didn't understand English, but he heard the word "Baga" clearly. It turned out to be a Japanese, and his face changed. You "Microsoft" can send anyone to fight piracy, that's fine, that's your freedom, although we don't like it, but we don't object. After all, everyone has to eat. But you send a Japanese to China to fight piracy, what does that mean? Are you here to bully us? Are you here to disgust us?

"What did this Japanese devil say?" The pirate looked at the translator with a face full of dissatisfaction.

The translator hesitated, and he felt that something was going to happen. But then he thought, there are so many people from the business administration behind him, so nothing should happen. After thinking about it, he translated the original words.

"Hey, tell this Japanese devil, if the XP system is a good system, then why is it that no one comes to buy it when I sell it so cheaply?" The pirate snorted, "Little Japanese devil, this XP is so bad, yours is so bad!" The pirate didn't understand any Japanese, but the little Japanese he learned from "Land Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare" could still come in handy.

Although Furukawa Hiroshi was a little confused, he guessed what the pirate meant. After all, he still understood the words "bad luck" and "bad luck". When he heard the other party scolding him, he was furious.

"Director Jin, this man is suspected of illegally selling the 'Microsoft' system. I hope you send someone to arrest him!" Furukawa Hiro shouted angrily.

Director Jin, who followed him, frowned immediately. Illegal sale, this crime is a bit serious. This pirate does have a bit of a taste of a troublemaker, but it is not that serious. In particular, the pirate is Chinese, and Furukawa Hiro is Japanese. He has no reason to help the Japanese and not the Chinese. Of course, if this happened in some small counties, perhaps a national civil servant like him would really help the Japanese, after all, it is to attract investment. But where is this place? This is the foot of the emperor. Will he help the Japanese?
