In the office where the call ended.
There was an indescribable feeling of suffocation in the dead silence.
No one spoke.
It seemed as if Lao Liu's voice on the other end of the phone was still echoing for a long time.
The probability of winning... is zero.
If these words came from someone else.
The head of the legal department would surely scoff at this.
But because of the words of the old hands in the court system, he had to tremble.
In comparison, the probability of winning is zero.
What shocked him even more was that someone from higher up had interfered in this lawsuit!
Is this related to Qianlong Games?
Or is the Royal Court Law Firm actually a hidden entity? "Trouble!"
In the dead silence, the head of Tencent's legal department said with trembling eyes.
"How could Qianlong Game have such power to attract interference from above? The top management of Qianlong Game even begged Tencent Games to invest in them a few months ago. How could they have such connections with the above? Besides, Ye Chen is just a nouveau riche who has risen a few months ago. With his rank, how could he possibly connect with the above?"
The vice president said with a pale face.
Then he said, "Lao Kang, do you think what Lao Liu said is really reliable?" "He would never joke about such things, let alone joke about them! Whether it's the power of the top management of Qianlong Games, or Ye Chen's relationship, or the all-powerful power of the Royal Court Law Firm, it doesn't matter! What's important is this lawsuit, it's going to be difficult! Lao Kang, the head of Tencent's legal department, said.
"Difficult? What do you mean? Are we just going to surrender? If we surrender, we will not only lose Nirvana, but also the future of Tencent Games! I believe you all know how important Nirvana is to Tencent Games. If we take this step back, our Tencent Games market share will be handed over to Qianlong Games. It is equivalent to that our Tencent Games' crazy promotion of Nirvana has become a wedding dress for Qianlong Games!"
The vice president became impatient. "Once Nirvana falls, Samsara will surely dominate the entire game market. Not only will Tencent Games become a joke in the industry and the whole society, but Tencent Games will also be in a very difficult situation in the future! If we have a precedent of giving in to Qianlong Games, I'm afraid anyone will dare to sue us in the future! What we will lose will be the entire future of Tencent Games. This price is too heavy. Not to mention the board of directors, even I can't accept it!"
"What Lao Liu said cannot be groundless. If we insist on this lawsuit, we will pay a greater price. Not only will the legend of Nanshan Pizza Hut be ended, but we may even be targeted by the higher-ups. In this case, the price will only be worse!" said Lao Kang, the head of the legal department.
"Lao Kang, you can't compare Tencent with other companies. Tencent has developed to this day, and it has not had to pay a heavy price because of the selfishness of a certain leader. As the country's leading taxpayer, Tencent provides countless jobs. In terms of corporate influence, Tencent is at the forefront of domestic private enterprises and is well-known to the world. Looking around the world, is there any country that doesn't have the legend of Tencent? In this context, no matter how big the leader is, it is impossible for him to dare to make Tencent fall out of selfishness!"
Even though he was already panicking inside, the vice president still spoke in an extremely firm voice.
However, after what he said.
The head of the legal department frowned again and again.
How could a vice president say such a thing? And he was the vice president of Tencent?
"Mr. Zhou, with all due respect, you shouldn't say such things!" said the head of the legal department.
I resisted the urge to speak ignorant, childish, and naive words.
He continued, "I don't deny that what you said is part of the truth, Mr. Zhou, but the issue at hand is not how much influence we have, let alone how much contribution we have made! The core of the issue is the lawsuit with Qianlong Games. The court will no longer be biased towards Tencent. Not only will there be no bias, but the pressure from the leaders above has already tipped the balance in the court towards Qianlong Games!"
"Didn't you say before that even without the court's favoritism, as far as this lawsuit is concerned, we have a good chance of winning by forcing ourselves to use the point of borrowing and imitating, and there won't be any big problems?" the vice president gritted his teeth.
"But now there are variables. The attitude of the court caused by the superiors, I believe you have already felt it, Mr. Zhou. What I said before is that even without the favoritism of the court, we have a definite chance of winning. That is because the court will take into account the influence of Tencent. Even if it does not explicitly favor us, it will give us enough time and room, so that we can eventually win the protracted war of attrition! But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that what I imagined is no longer realistic!" said the head of the legal department.
"According to you, there is no chance of winning the case?" the vice president said in a trembling voice.
The head of the legal department shook his head. "If what Lao Liu said was not fabricated and was not made up to cheat Tencent, then just like he said, the probability of winning the case is very likely to be zero!"
"So our Tencent is doomed to fail? Is 'Nirvana' and its end inevitable?" The vice president was on the verge of collapse.
"Maybe!" the head of the legal department said tactfully.
"Damn it!"
The vice president, whose face had turned pale, clenched his fists tightly. Regarding the plagiarism incident of Nirvana.
Not only did he repeatedly give guarantees to Mr. Ma, the head of Tencent.
It also claims to have signed contracts with several brands to place advertisements in the 'Nirvana' world.
If 'Nirvana' is a dead end.
Not to mention that the market share that Tencent Games has regained due to the launch of "Nirvana" will have to be lost again, and they will have to watch "Reincarnation" trample the entire Tencent Games market.
Just based on the advertising placement contracts signed with multiple brands, if 'Nirvana' is removed from the shelves, Tencent will have to pay at least tens of billions in compensation!
In addition, Tencent's image, reputation, deterrence, etc. will all face a Waterloo!
As the main culprit who caused the situation to develop to this point, he will have to pay unbearable consequences for all this!
At least, he can't stay at Tencent any longer! Thinking of this.
The vice president made up his mind, "No matter what, we have to fight this lawsuit. The words 'sitting and waiting to die' have never appeared in Tencent. If Tencent surrenders without a fight because of the attitude of a certain person in the court, I am afraid it will become a laughing stock that will never be washed away!"
