Dangdang was angry.
On the evening of July 6, Dangdang suddenly sent a Weibo, "ByteDance and respected Chairman Zhang Yiming: You are not good! Today, Huawei issued a statement that it has nothing to do with Professor Chen Chunhua and once rushed to the hot search. "The spearhead is directed at ByteDance, good fellow, I don't even want to say polite words."
In other words, what is the matter between Huawei and Chen Chunhua, and what is the relationship with Dangdang? As an e-commerce platform that does not have a strong sense of existence, there is naturally only one thing that can make Dangdang so angry: pirated books.
What's going on? The bad reviewer went to check it out and found that the professor Chen Chunhua mentioned in weibo is the dean of the BiMBA Business School of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University and is also running self-media.
So how did she and Huawei get involved?
It turned out to be 17 years, after Chen Chunhua met Ren Zhengfei, Chen Chunhua posted a night message on his public account, and Huawei was often mentioned in subsequent business analysis.
These are nothing, but since the fight, a batch of unscrupulous self-media has emerged on the vibrato and watermelon videos, and the relationship between YY Chen Chunhua and Huawei has begun.
"Ren Zhengfei is all about her being a driver!"
"Huawei Military Division!"
This whole thing is simply more evil than the online novel.

It is said that there are more than 10,000 articles compiled in this way on the whole network...
Of course, what really makes Dangdang unable to read is not these articles, but these self-media will also pick up Chen Chunhua's quotations, secretly make pirated books that have no copyright at all, and sell or give them away at the end of the article.
As soon as this matter came out, Chen Chunhua and Huawei scratched their heads, and each issued a clarification statement, and Byte also checked the relevant videos.
Although this matter is over, the bad reviewer is more curious: So in 2022, pirated books on the Internet are still so rampant? Could it be that ByteDance gave you freedom over the fire?
The bad reviewer checked it out and found that although ByteDance was responsible for the poor censorship, they were also quite helpless.
Because, even Zhang Yiming is one of the victims of similar pirated books/pirated books!
Many people know that Zhang Yiming used to love to express his views on Weibo, but since he announced his resignation as CEO of Byte and set it visible for half a year, some print shops and self-media have seen business opportunities.
"Read Zhang Yiming, watch him go on Weibo!"
Good guys, it turns out that just reading Weibo can read an entrepreneur?
Of course, in addition to Zhang Yiming, Wang Xing of the US group is also the hardest hit area of the scourge of pirated books...
Poor friends should know the site of rice no, founded by Wang Xing in 2007, even if in recent years, Boss Wang has focused on the US group, but often shares some daily life and feelings on the meal.
But since the meal is no longer open for registration, Boss Wang has set up his account for a few months to see, after concentrating on the US group...
Eh, this wealth code, isn't it coming?
Many printing shop owners look at it, this thing can not be seen on the Internet, I bind it into a book and hang it on the Internet, which is not more profitable than printing a graduation thesis?
However, when the bad reviewer searched for Zhang Yiming for the first time on major shopping websites, I was stupid:
Isn't this the routine of pirated books in the train station 20 years ago?
Zhang Yiming's Weibo quotes? Wrong! This is the "Entrepreneur Insider", a must-see for entrepreneurship
Don't look at these books at a glance fake, people are really not selling cheaply, from hundreds to dozens of them, and sales are still good.
The one with the highest sales volume, selling more than 100,000 pieces of one hundred pieces, even if he costs ten yuan per book, this is... More than 8 million profits.
This profit margin, how many years do you have to open a print shop to catch up?
Of course, although these books are all proper infringements, what industry is missing in Baoqi, and what is the in-depth analysis?
Without research, there is no right to speak, so I bought...
Just opened the courier, the first reaction of the bad reviewer is:
MD Blood Loss!!
Bad reviewer Jun saw a lot of pirated books when he was young, but it was the first time that the workmanship was so sloppy: there was no publishing house, the paper thief was thin, and he touched it and dropped the slag...
Even if the infringement is concerned, this attitude of making money is also too improper, right?
And I obviously spent dozens of dollars well, the book also wrote a non-sale product, simply...
In addition to being thick enough, the reading experience is almost zero because it has no catalog! Not to mention any typography and design! It is to put Zhang Yiming's speech on Weibo for many years upwards...
However, just when the bad reviewer was about to put away the book, he accidentally found a blind spot in an inconspicuous position: in the lower right corner of the book, a mysterious WeChat signal was printed.
Coupled with WeChat, after chatting with the boss for a while, I found that this infringement was not a case at all, and behind Zhang Yiming's piracy, there was also a successful literary empire that successfully learned to pirate...
First of all, upstream, someone will summarize the speeches of various big boss entrepreneurs with crawlers, video pirates, and collect them into a website called "Library".
In addition to the familiar Lei Jun, Li Yanhong, and even Wang Jianlin, what kind of learning and thinking paid classes, NetEase's word class, here can find pirated copies.
If you want to continue to get the resources in the website, you have to become an agent, 499 can open a large membership, you can sell as much as you want.
But this is not the most exciting, to the sales end, you know what is called eight immortals across the sea, each showing magic, unscrupulous means.
If you have a printing device, you can play physical + online, offline production of physical books, distribution to these agents and platforms, I want you to let not let publish it, take the source file to print it is finished ~
If your circle of friends is hard enough, you can also play private domain, physical books and PDFs mixed, properly buy and sell.
So what if there are no connections or channels?
Unexpectedly, people can also play from the media, through the soft text to drain the flow...
There is a chicken soup for the soul, came a "Zhang Yiming 9 years mainly do two things", do not know also think that Zhang Yiming took Weibo that weekly newspaper wrote all...
There are also hot spots to write black manuscripts, before the US group Wang Xing set social media as six months to see the concentration of work, the result is a bunch of inexplicable articles poured out, forcing panic marketing.
"Wang Xing instigated!" Wang Xing panicked! Empty the food! ”
Let's say that Boss Wang is also miserable enough, he has written things for so many years and has been sold for money, even if he makes money for others, he still has to carry a black cauldron that does not repeat the same thing every day, and there is no one.
Seeing this, you may want to say that although these books are infringing, they are all infringing on the rights of the big guys, and they have nothing to do with us?
If you only see this layer, then I can only say that you are small.
When the rights and interests of the big guys cannot be guaranteed, it means that you and my rights and interests have long been gone.
Bad reviewers asked some of their own publishing friends, only to find that they underestimated the means of making money for pirate booksellers.
Some books have just reached the printing stage, and their source files have already been leaked from the printing house.
Even if there is no leak, pirates can buy it directly by hand or scan and copy it, part of which is sold online through pdf, and the other part can be sold with simple binding.
As for e-books, it goes without saying, it's a waste of time...
Moreover, because consumers do not perceive the authenticity of books very well, pirates are often rampant enough to sell fakes directly, readers buy fakes, and publishers are sprayed.
The "Lyme Collection" published by Yilin Publishing House once carried this kind of black cauldron.
Moreover, friends of bad reviewers told me that when editors encounter pirated books, they often have to report them on the platform.
After all, it's hard enough for publishers to survive, let alone hire a professional accountability department.
Of course, this is like cutting off a knife and cutting off water, and it can never be reported.
Many people may think that the book thing, let alone the genuine pirated version, to obtain knowledge is enough, but Chen, being a person should not be like this.
From writing to publication, a book is the result of design, internal text editing, paper selection and printing lying in front of the computer, carefully choosing words and repeatedly communicating; When you open a good book or swipe into a wonderful speech on social media, the text has a temperature.
Entrepreneurs such as Zhang Yiming and Wang Xing sent some feelings on Weibo and the circle of friends because they had feelings and wanted to communicate frankly with others.
But piracy is killing other people's efforts and the temperature of communication.
On the one hand, the profits of publishing houses are already very small, and many pirated commercial inferior paper and inks occupy the market at low prices, and over time, it will cause bad money to expel good money.
There will be fewer and fewer people who are willing to write books and who are willing to spend the effort to design and produce a good book.
On the other hand, driven by interests, these industries derived from selling books have also erased the truth, making the entire public opinion environment become a miasma.
Through the news of catching wind and catching shadows, making up the psychology of others, shocking articles and black manuscripts flying all over the sky, viewers are provoked by emotions, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and money is spent unjustly; The authors' painstaking efforts have been stolen and sold, and they have to carry a black cauldron for the profits of the lawbreakers, who still tells the truth?
More importantly, such books can be directly bypassed from publication, let alone disguised as real books, and the authenticity of the content cannot be verified at all. The meta-universe is on fire, compile a book, and the name of a science and technology big man can sell for hundreds of pieces; Even if the cover is written with your quotes, adding two nonsense words to you, are you panicked?
For example, if you send a microblog or a circle of friends, you will be copied down and stolen for you to publish, in order to better betray you, you will have nothing to do to put a big hat on you, paste a big character newspaper to eat your human blood steamed buns.
In order to solve this chaos, last month, the state also launched the "Clear Action", in which online rumors and chaos are the key targets.
However, to completely eradicate piracy, the efforts of officials and platforms alone are not enough.
In order to eradicate these endless pirated books and keep the words that we love and have touched us, we may really need every consumer to be able to act, refuse to buy, actively supervise and report, and do not believe those seemingly shocking online rumors.
After all, sometimes, after seemingly indignant articles, instead of justice, there is only a sickle that cuts leeks.
