Chapter 180

Fang zhe just frowned. In fact, what he thought was, what is the background of the company named vilster? Huizhong has no grievances with them. Why should they target Huizhong? If they just want to gain reputation or ask for money, they should wait until they have replied to the lawyer's letter. Who thought the company took them to court before waiting for a reply.

Coupled with the current five minute attitude, Fang zhe understands that this is not so simple. It must be that the other party has had contact with five minutes in private. It can be said that the comer is not good and there has been a conspiracy.

"Is there any news in the American public opinion? What do players say?" Fang zhe asked an executive sitting next to Li Yifei.

Since Huizhong suffered losses in the American public opinion circles last time, Huizhong has established a special public opinion monitoring department to pay attention to the relevant reports and public opinion about Huizhong all over the world at any time, so as to respond in time. The person asked by Fang Zhe is Wang Wei, the person in charge of the current public opinion monitoring department.

Wang Weihui reported: "there's not much news yet, but two small websites in the game industry reported it. Most players don't know it."

"What about the game operation?" Fang zhe asked Li Yifei again. The international version of happy farm is operated by Jianghai branch, and Jiang Che, the person in charge, reported to Li Yifei.

"Nothing unusual has happened for the time being!" Li Yifei replied.

Fang zhe nodded. That's good. It seems that Huizhong's action to deal with the crisis is quite rapid. If they can solve the problem before it ferments in a large area, the impact of the crisis is nothing.

"That's good. You fly to Jianghai today and talk to them for five minutes. If they don't want to appear in court, get ready to be sued by us in China. Also, let jiangche keep in touch with relevant operators of Facebook and MySpace at any time and deal with problems in time.

In addition, the public opinion department always pays attention to the public opinion trends in the market, contacts foreign media familiar with us, and tries to control the scope of influence of this matter, so as not to affect the game operation. "

After explaining to Li Yifei and Wang Wei, Fang zhe turned to Li Chen:

"Your legal department has to make full preparations this time. Everyone here knows that our international version of happy farm has not been copied, so what we need to do next is to find enough evidence to win the lawsuit.

I asked the financial department to allocate US $5 million to you to collect evidence. If necessary, you can send someone to the United States to collect evidence, including this company called welster, its shareholder Pincus and an American game company called Zynga, as well as their possible money transaction behind five minutes. In addition, try to apply for delaying the court session as much as possible to win the case if you are not sure enough Before that, we didn't make positive contact with them. "

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. In addition to deploying Huizhong to fight the lawsuit, Fang zhe also began to plan what to do if Huizhong loses the lawsuit in the worst case. He considers defeat before victory, so there will be no worse result. This is what he must learn to do as the head of a company.

Fang zhe originally thought that this was just a confrontation in the game industry between Huizhong and welster, or Zynga behind it. Who wants to know, in the middle of the night on Sunday, the public opinion monitoring department suddenly found that many news media in the United States, large and small, reported this on the news of the new day.

These articles are black and white. Some say that Huizhong copied the American company vilst, and some say that the American company vilst copied Huizhong. On the whole, the black ones are far more than the white ones. Most media have forwarded the hammer evidence provided by vilst and the game related information they registered earlier.

Because the international edition of happy farm is so popular and popular overseas that almost everyone knows it, the public opinion news about it has become the headlines of major media newspapers once reported. Due to the induction of the media, most uninformed players also began to believe that Huizhong copied the American company Vester.

For a time, the public opinion circles in the United States and overseas have accused Huizhong. Some hot headed and indignant players began to resist the game, attack the game, distribute negative news about the international version of happy farm everywhere, and launch online public opinion to resist plagiarism one after another.

On Monday afternoon, worse news spread to Huizhong. Facebook considered stopping the operation of the international version of happy farm in the future due to possible legal disputes between Huizhong and welster in the United States and some overseas regions, and introduced a farm game of the same type to all players.

This game is developed by Zynga, an American page tour company, and is the exclusive agent and operator of Facebook platform. Both the game content and playing method are very similar to the international version of happy farm. However, legally, this game is a real original game of Zynga, without any legal problems.

Because the international version of happy farm on Facebook may be out of service, there are only two choices for Facebook players to play this kind of game. One is to choose this new farm game launched by Facebook, and the other is to transfer to MySpace platform to continue playing the international version of happy farm. However, judging from the current trend of public opinion, happy farm on MySpace platform How long can it last? Who knows!

When the international edition of happy farm fell into a plagiarism dispute in the United States and other regions, reports on Huizhong plagiarism also appeared in the Korean media, which is close to China. However, the content of the report is not the international edition of happy farm, but a mobile game operated by Huizhong, Xuanfei Superman.

Many South Korean media accused Huizhong's "Xuanfei Superman" of plagiarizing a South Korean game company called gravity, and despicably launched and operated the game in advance. In addition, they also disclosed that Huizhong is developing and producing the game "fishing master", which also plagiarized a fishing game made by this company.

Because the international edition of happy farm has been plagiarized overseas, and many people have believed Huizhong plagiarism because of the inducement of the media, when the Korean media broke the news, the public opinion basically criticized Huizhong, including many overseas regions such as the United States, South Korea and Japan, Huizhong company and all games under Huizhong, It has fallen into great controversy in the media and players.

Foreign troubles continue, and domestic problems do not stop. In mid April, many advertising channels that had cooperated with Zhongle, Huizhong's page tour platform, suddenly cut off Huizhong's advertising.

The reason given by some advertisers is that their company is adjusting the advertising system and can't put advertisements for the time being. Some say that they have received higher price advertising, so they can't continue to cooperate with Huizhong.

A few advertisers who have a good relationship with Huizhong privately disclosed that 51wan and 91wan, several other giants in the page game industry, have formed an advertising alliance and jointly bought out the game advertising of many advertisers in the whole network, including Huizhong and other page game platforms that have not joined the alliance. I'm afraid it's impossible to put advertising in a short time.

This approach is tantamount to directly cutting off the traffic of the Zhongle game platform. Although many users have accumulated on the Zhongle platform, the number of users is not worth mentioning compared with potential users who have not registered on the Zhongle platform. If Zhongle cannot put advertisements on the whole network, it is tantamount to cutting off the source of the small lake of Zhongle and can only wait to dry up slowly.

51wan's alliance, while buying out many advertising, has also launched several games similar to the Games exclusively represented on the Zhongle platform. People with a clear eye can see that this alliance is aimed at Zhongle, a rising star in the industry.

At the same time, Tencent, the largest social networking giant in China, also announced that its social game platform QQ game will launch a variety of page games. Tencent has officially entered the field of page games. This news is tantamount to a deep-water bomb invested in the whole page game industry. In terms of traffic competition, the two 51wan alliances are not necessarily top QQ games, not to mention the Crowley, which is now cut off from many traffic.

For a time, Huizhong was besieged on all sides. Huizhong encountered the biggest crisis since its establishment. The three pillar businesses of Huizhong, overseas page tour, domestic page tour platform and mobile tour, all encountered unprecedented crises.
