Chapter 1240 Special promotion activities
At 9 a.m., hundreds of reporters were waiting here early because this is one of the few trials in American history that allow media video broadcasts, and it is also a recent hot commercial espionage case in San Francisco, which has attracted the attention of countless media outlets in the United States and even the world.
Of course, the most important reason why this time has such great attention is that the Morgan family is behind the scenes. If the case itself is just not enough to attract such great attention, even if Jiang Wenhuai's lawyer applied for trial broadcasting. This is not the first time. Didn't the Simpson case that caused a sensation across the United States allow media video and broadcasting?
However, compared with the impact of the Simpson case, Jiang Wenhuai has no comparison this time. Even the media video and broadcasting that were approved so quickly was allowed to be recorded and broadcasted, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the discerning person, but... who cares? Whether the media or the melon-eating crowd, everyone only cares whether the matter is interesting enough. As for the truth? So is this thing still there?
When the time came, the media was allowed to enter the venue. The trial officially began at 9:30. First, it was a solemn oath ceremony and then the judge's speech. These were formal boring and boring until the debate was entered, which was also the place that most people talked about.
The defense lawyer of Jiang Wenhuai was invited by Morgan to the top team of lawyers in the United States. His chief lawyer stood up and looked at the other side with his hands on the table: "I want to ask the accuser, you have always insisted that my client stole your procedures. I want to ask what kind of procedures is this?"
With the entry of Morgan's forces, the lawsuit has obviously changed, so Tang Ran can only add fuel to the best lawyer team of the Tang family.
However, the chief lawyer of the Tang family, who has experienced hundreds of lawsuits, was stunned when facing the question raised by Morgan's lawyer. He instinctively felt that there was a pitfall in this question, so he first applied to the judge for this question and had no connection with the trial. He had the right to refuse to answer, but Morgan held on to hold on and insisted that he answered because this question was about the core of the case.
In the end, the judge adopted Morgan's suggestion and asked the Tang family to answer.
The lawyer of the Tang family had no choice but to truthfully answer that this was a farm game, but Morgan kept stooping: "Is it just a farm game? So I would like to ask the accuser what this game looks like and what is its core game?"
Faced with these nonsensical problems, the Tang family's lawyer once again protested to the judge against the other party's attempt to deliberately delay the trial using irrelevant issues.
The lawyers on Morgan insisted that his problems were closely linked to this case. He believed that if according to the accused party, his party stole the procedure, then the other party should understand the full picture of the game. On the contrary, if the accused party cannot answer these questions, then he has reason to suspect that the accused party has not developed the game at all, and even more suspected that the accused party is fabricating facts and falsely accusing his party.
When the lawyers on Morgan said this, it immediately aroused an uproar at the scene. Countless people whispered to each other and discussed it privately. No one expected that the lawyers on Morgan would drop a bombshell so quietly because the word "false accusation" was still very serious.
The judge had to knock on the hammer to remind everyone to be calm, pay attention to maintaining court order, and not to interfere with the justice.
Frequent trial.
After the scene was quiet, the judge rejected the protest of the Tang family lawyer and asked him to answer the defense's questions.
The Tang family's lawyer team discussed that although the chief lawyer had rich experience in court trials, he did not understand the procedures enough, so he had to ask the lawyers in the team who helped apply for patents to speak instead.
After obtaining the judge's approval, the patent lawyer said: "This farm game is a simple farming game. It can be run on any computer. As long as your computer is loaded with web pages and corresponding dynamic expression program plug-ins, this farm game..."
The patent lawyer spent a full ten minutes talking about the farm game in very tedious and boring terms.
After hearing this, the lawyer on Morgan said immediately: "It's very good. The accuser's description is very detailed, but I noticed a problem, that is, the lawyer on the accuser, you said that this small game can run on any computer, right? You only need to have the function of opening the web page and installing plug-ins."
This patent lawyer obviously does not have the experience of the previous chief lawyer, or because the two previous protests were invalid, he was too lazy to protest anything, and this was not an important issue, so he nodded and said yes.
"So since this game is a farm game, can everyone imagine themselves as a farmer, can open the page every day for watering operations, then harvest the fruits, and invite friends to play together, and can steal the other party's fruits from friends?" asked the lawyer on Morgan.
The Tang family's lawyer was about to answer subconsciously, but soon woke up and changed his words: "This is not a real steal, but a prank based on sharing, just like April Fool's Day."
The lawyers on Morgan spread their hands: "Okay, even if you are talking about a prank, then people can still interact with their friends when playing this game. Everyone can play it when they have time, and there is basically no threshold except for computers, right?"
The lawyer of the Tang family nodded and replied yes, but his brows became deeper and deeper.
Morgan's lawyer seems to have remembered something: "If I remember correctly, the current games are basically pixel games, so do the accuser's games also belong to this category?"
"Of course not!" Tang's patent lawyer denied, "Our game has been processed by art, and is different from previous pixel games!"
...
As a trial that was videotaped and broadcasted by the media, of course, it is not only the people on the scene who can watch it. Even Zhou Ming also watched it on time in front of the TV through his own special channels.
Su Han was watching with Zhou Ming, and she frowned: "Is this the trial in the United States? Why does it look... so strange?"
In fact, Su Han wanted to say that this thing looks very funny, but Su Han has never been to the United States, does not understand the situation there, and does not dare to express his opinions casually.
At the same time, they were on the phone with Tang Ran, and Tang Ran hurriedly explained: "Sister Su Han is not like this. Although there are indeed many dramatic scenes in the trial in the United States, it is definitely not like this. I have never heard of this situation in the United States for such a long time."
Although farm games are not that important, Zhou Ming also wants to know where Morgan is.
However, what did you want to do when you get in? But the most important thing is that for Zhou Ming and the others, this international long-distance phone bill is really nothing.
"Brother Ming, my legal counsel just told me that he analyzed that the other party's intention might be delaying time, so he deliberately asked these questions that seemed to be related to the case, but in fact there would be no progress." Tang Ran said again.
This answer makes some sense, but Zhou Ming still thinks things won't be that simple.
"Ranran, you said they tried their best to make a trial broadcast just to deliberately delay the trial time in front of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of viewers? This is too unreasonable." Zhou Ming said.
Tang Ran said nothing because she also had this doubt and didn't believe that Morgan was working hard to delay time.
Su Han thought about it over and over again: "Zhou Ming, Ranran, why do you think Morgan must conduct a trial broadcast? What do they want to express on TV?"
...
"Hahaha! No matter how smart Zhou Ming is, he will never think of what my trial is for!" Piero cheered excitedly.
Like Zhou Ming, since the trial was broadcast, the head of the Morgan family naturally stayed in front of the TV and watched the entire trial process. He saw the "nonsense" his lawyer said during the trial. However, compared with Zhou Ming's frown and couldn't figure it out, Piero seemed very excited, as if this was the result he wanted.
Like Zhou Mingtangran, Boya also watched the trial broadcast throughout the entire process in New York on TV.
"Uncle Piero, is this a special game promotion activity you designed?" Boya asked on the phone.
Piero proudly answered this: "Of course, you have seen it all. Lawyer Sapiro asked questions about the game. In just half an hour, they have introduced the inside and out of the game!"
Piero also asked Bear what he thought about this.
"This is a very bold idea, at least it is easy for people to keep watching and conduct subtle sales," Boya told him.
Boya's vision is still very accurate. He knows very well that the biggest problem for general promotion activities is that it is difficult to have too much attraction. Everyone is just a quick look, but this kind of trial is different. No one would have thought this would be a promotion activity, so everyone would not think about it in this regard, so they would passively accept this information and eventually they were promoted subtly.
"And it's not just a trial," Piero told Beau, "I also told these media that they would post a few more articles after the trial, and what kind of games would cause giants like Tangren Group to persecute programmers. Such news, coupled with the broadcast video of the trial, will make many people unable to help but be attracted to play this game."
"Uncle, you are worthy of being a marketing master in our Morgan family. If this succeeds, it will definitely be the most classic and unreplicable marketing case in the business school." Boya said.
