Those TV manufacturers would definitely come to him for mediation, which was something Zhou Yi could foresee.
However, the person who called said that as long as he filed a complaint, any request would be agreed to, which made Zhou Yi very puzzled.
"Sir, I can agree to any request you make, but didn't I make the request before? As long as you do it, I will naturally withdraw the lawsuit. Why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Zhou Yi asked in return.
When that senior customer service manager called him before, Zhou Yi had stated his requirements, that is, everything should be laid out in the open!
It’s fine if you want to make startup ads. Just set up a set of rules and promote it to those who can accept it. You don’t necessarily have to share the advertising fees. There are many other ways to cooperate with members of third-party platforms.
If consumers do not accept this, they can simply turn it off before they buy the TV. This is technically very easy to do.
Instead of being like now, where all smart TVs have startup ads by default, if you don’t agree, you have to go to customer service, communicate, and complain, or even have to be tough and argue with customer service to turn it off.
This may not seem like a big difference, but it is a huge one!
You can even think of the mandatory startup ads as a kind of mandatory PUA!
Our consumers are actually very nice. As long as you don't go too far, how many people would normally look for trouble?
Why there are not many people looking for trouble? I won’t talk about other aspects.
Our laws do not apply the principle of "punitive damages" to infringements. Even if you sue, sometimes the cost outweighs the gain.
But if you look at the countries where you have been working, you will often see very large amounts of compensation, which are called punitive damages.
In addition, the share of risk agency revenue that Lao Mi gets has reached a jaw-dropping level. Therefore, their lawyers are extremely keen on this kind of lawsuit.
Risk agency plus class action lawsuits and punitive damages, to put it bluntly, may be enough to make a living just by handling one case... Of course, the lawyers will make a living.
Since Zhou Yi pays the money, he naturally has to sign a contract with others. If the other party agrees to the request, he can definitely accept mediation. There is no problem with that.
There is no reason why you still have to file a lawsuit when everyone has agreed to your request, because this will be the situation even if you win the lawsuit. If you don't agree at that time, the judge will come to your house to persuade you.
So when Zhou Yi heard what the other party said, he knew that his previous requests were regarded as wishful thinking again.
Sure enough, the man on the phone hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhou, did you tell me your request before?"
But the man quickly realized what was going on and said, "You mean what we said before? But... Mr. Zhou, let's be frank. We did do something wrong, so we are sincerely apologizing to you."
"We can give you a larger financial compensation. As for the startup advertisement, there's no need to bother with it. It has nothing to do with you..."
Zhou Yi understood, or it could be said that until now, no one thought that he was really doing this for those inexplicable requests.
The current social moral value is that everyone should take care of their own business and not worry about other people's problems.
If you feel unhappy, we will apologize to you. If you want money, we can also give you more money.
But if you ask us to change our business strategy, and the change will likely result in us making much less money in a year, then that won’t work.
You have to know that no matter how much compensation you give to a person, there is a limit.
But if such a request is really agreed to, advertising revenue will be directly reduced a lot.
Advertisers are not fools. Setting up startup ads on one million TVs at once and setting them up on some and not on others are two completely different concepts.
This is like cutting flesh for the company!
Of course, will this make the company unable to survive?
That’s definitely not the case. If profits decrease, the company will not survive. That’s all we can say about that time.
This isn't a serious injury, it's just that the earnings aren't as much as before...
So Zhou Yi looked at the panel
The one who was at 65% progress laughed: "You guys, it's always been like this. No one has ever understood me."
"That's the condition. If you agree to it, I'll drop the lawsuit. If you can't agree, and just want to compensate me, then forget it. I signed a contract with tens of thousands of people. Do you know how much I'll have to pay if I breach the contract?"
You have your reasons, and I have my reasons too. I have already signed a contract with everyone, but I took the money and said I would not sue. I don’t dare to think about the consequences.
The man on the phone was silent for a moment and wanted to say something else, but Zhou Yi had already hung up.
The conditions are given to you, it depends on whether you agree to them or not.
In the office of Haili Company, the Vice President of Marketing reported on the previous call and then said, "Mr. Ma, this is what happened. The other party said that only if we agree to those conditions will he withdraw the lawsuit."
Ma Peng felt like his heart was about to explode. Even though he had cursed countless times, he still wanted to curse. Why would there be such a person in the world? He was just sick!
I'm going to give you money, and the amount is huge, but you didn't even listen. This made him feel like, is money useless these days?
This kind of statement is just like the person who wrote the diary back then who couldn't understand why there were always people on the other side who were willing to give up all their property to support **.
