My Age of Investment

On the campus of Harvard University.

A cafe.

A tall and strong blond boy walked over to another sitting boy with a newspaper, and asked with a smile, "Taylor, have you read today's "Harvard School News"?"

The sitting boy raised his head, with a face almost identical to the white boy who was approaching.

From the looks of it, you can tell that they are twin brothers.

"Cameron, is there anything interesting?" asked the boy named Taylor who was sitting.

Cameron handed the newspaper over and said, "You can read it yourself."

Tyler took a look at the newspaper, and there was a prominent headline on it: "The Facebook", the originator of the campus social networking site, was copied as a copycat. Entrepreneurs need to learn to use intellectual property law to protect their rights and interests from infringement.

When Taylor saw words such as "social networking site", "entrepreneurship", and "plagiarism", he immediately became interested and continued to read.

The newspaper is printed in color, and there are several photos on it, all of which are the Facebook website interface and the receipt of the patent application.

At the same time, there is also a bunch of text, which introduces the development history and functions of Facebook in detail.

The copycat website "This Facebook" was also dragged out and flogged, and was labelled as "thief", "plagiarist", and "uninnovative".

The author of the article also attacked the copycat website on both legal and moral levels.

The wording is harsh, but each point is well-founded, fully demonstrating the author's familiarity with American law.

The last article also mentioned that Facebook registered users have exceeded the 10,000 mark, more than 75% of Stanford students are registered users of the website, and registration has been opened for eight Ivy League schools...

Call on Harvard students to respect intellectual property rights, respect originality, and resist plagiarists...

Putting down the newspaper, Taylor said with a smile, "I looked at it, and this Facebook website seems to be very interesting. It is very popular in Stanford, and even plagiarists have appeared."

Cameron nodded, "Didn't you say you wanted to create a campus dating website? This website is quite what you envisioned."

Tyler chuckled, "Yes, I wanted to make a website a long time ago to facilitate dating among Harvard students.

It's a pity that neither you nor I are technical, and now someone else grabs the front to launch the website.

Honestly, this site has more features and fun than I imagined. "

"Then what are your plans? Are we going to make a campus website?"

Tyler shook his head, "Look at this, this website called Facebook is planning to occupy the entire Harvard campus. It doesn't make sense for us to launch another website at this time."

"Then give up?"

Taylor hesitated for a moment, "Let's wait until we find a suitable programmer."

"Alright, go, go rowing."

The Winklevoss brothers have such a temperament, slow and extremely poor execution.

The film "Social Network" clearly describes the characters of the two and the grievances and grievances between Xiao Mazi.

In 2002, the two brothers had the idea of ​​starting the "Harvard Fraternity" website, but it was not until a year later that they officially took action and found a senior programmer.

After the senior programmers were poached by Google, they found Xiaomazi again and wanted the other party to help them complete the construction of the website.

Then Xiao Mazi stole the ideas of the two brothers and created his own social empire.

Naturally, the two of them would not let it go. First, they complained to the principal, and then they fought more than a dozen lawsuits with Facebook in four years.

Until the two sides reached a settlement in 2008, the two brothers received $65 million in compensation, and then bought $11 million in bitcoin, and became billionaires more than ten years later.

"mark,

Come on, I found an interesting site with a lot of babes waiting for you to date. "

In the dormitory, Moskovitz couldn't wait to find his roommates to share with his roommates as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg was only 18 years old, and his face was green. He came over curiously and looked at his roommate's computer.

"You mean Facebook, a lot of people around here are talking about this site recently."

Moskovitz said with a smile: "I heard that it was founded by Stanford students. I really don't know how their brains grow. How can they have such a good idea?"

Zuckerberg was unhappy when he heard this. He has been a self-proclaimed technical expert since he was a child, and said with disdain: "It's nothing special. Give me a week and I can make a better website than this."

This little pockmark is not the boss yet, and Moskowitz won't be accustomed to him, so he joked: "Then you can do one, and let me see the strength of your little technical master."

Zuckerberg felt that he was underestimated, and was about to speak harshly when the phone rang and his girlfriend called.

Picking up the phone, Zuckerberg became shy and introverted like a new person immediately...

Hang up the phone and go on a date happily.

Moskowitz is not stupid. He just joked, and he didn't stimulate Zuckerberg anymore. Both of them put aside the "building website" thing.

"Lane, I can't help you promote your website."

In a Stanford dorm, Lane received a call from a friend from Harvard.

"Why? Didn't you agree?"

Ryan was a little excited. They had just decided to enter the Harvard University market, and they had already found a partner. Why did the other party suddenly regret it.

"Your website has become stinky at Harvard, and the Harvard School News, campus forums and other places are discussing your plagiarism from Facebook.

In particular, the bastards in the law school also organized an "Intellectual Property Week" activity and launched a questionnaire in the school.

Now the whole school knows you are a spam site and you are done!

I help you promote a plagiarized website, and I'm about to become a laughing stock in other people's eyes.

I don't want the shares anymore, you should find someone else!

That's it, bye! "

Just as Ryan was about to speak, the other party hung up the phone, only to hear a busy tone of "dudu" on the other end.

"Fuck!"

Ryan kicked on the desk, his fat body trembling with anger.

"Lane, what happened?"

Phyllis sensed the movement, didn't know why Ryan suddenly got angry, and quickly asked the reason.

"That bastard at Harvard said our website stinks at their school and won't work with us anymore..."

"This son of a bitch..."

After understanding the situation, Phyllis also cursed.

After venting, Phyllis asked, "What should we do now?"

Thinking that the situation was a little bad, and now was not the time to lose his temper, Ryan quickly calmed himself down.

"It must be Daeron and the others. They want to completely stink us." Phyllis said suddenly.

"It's still worth thinking about, who else but them?"

Ryan scratched his head vigorously, his dandruff fell to the ground, and he didn't think of a good way to deal with it.

More than half a month after they launched the website, almost all Stanford students can testify, so the "plagiarism" really did not wrong them.

Harvard has a bad reputation, what about other universities?

Ryan told his partner about his concerns, and Phyllis was also silent.

Plagiarism itself is a disgraceful act, and now they are still behind the other side step by step, which makes them hesitant to decide whether to persist.

Although the two are already seniors, they still have many courses to take, so it is impossible to fly from Stanford on the west coast to Harvard on the east coast to promote the website.

There are only two ways for them to promote their websites. One is to post on the websites of major schools, and the other is to find friends offline to push them for help.

Both of them are Americans, and they are also in their senior year. There are still many famous school students they know from various activities.

Harvard was originally their first target, but now that the line is broken, they can only turn their hopes and sights to the other seven universities.

After some discussion, the two of them started contacting friends from other schools, and they were going to try another place.
