Chapter 1580 I Hope There Won’t Be Any More Troubles

When he came out of the hospital, Bezos' right fist was full of bandages.

But even if he punched through a monitor, he still couldn't calm down.

It's really infuriating!

Bezos has been in the industry for decades and has fought so many business wars with countless opponents, but he has never been as angry as he is now!

Chen Mo's trick is very simple. Don't you want to poach my people? Okay, I'll let you poach, but I'll make you poach very painfully!

Chen Mo's method not only exceeded Bezos's thinking range, but also happened to be very effective. If Bezos was not Chen Mo's opponent, if he stood from the perspective of God to see how Chen Mo broke the game, and understood this person's method, he would definitely feel bright and enlightened.

Unfortunately, Bezos did not have a God's perspective. He was a person in the game, but he stood on the opposite side of Chen Mo, so his IQ was simply crushed by Chen Mo, and Bezos felt that his IQ was greatly insulted! ! !

After Jon brought Bezos back from the hospital, he saw his boss hanging his head, lost in deep thought, frowning from time to time, and sighing in his heart.

After a while, Bezos asked: "Is there really no way to modify the crawler script to solve the watermark problem?"

Jon smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No matter how awesome the crawler script is, it is stealing from someone else's server.

Unless we can change the server code of the treasure-stealing, it is impossible to solve this problem from the crawler script.

But changing someone else's server code is illegal, and the other party obviously has technical experts, so it is impossible to succeed."

Bezos: "What other ways are there? Can the technicians come up with a tool to batch identify and process watermarks?"

Jon shook his head: "If all the watermarks are in the same place, maybe I can think of a way to make such a tool.

But Chen Mo is too damn smart. The place where the watermark is placed on each picture is random, and there is no pattern at all.

Even if we can make a tool to accurately identify watermarks, with the current computer performance, it may take an hour to process a picture. We have collected tens of millions of pictures, and it is impossible to process them all! "

"At present, we have only two choices: one is to manually process the watermarks, and the other is to give up helping sellers to put them on the shelves and let them do it themselves."

Bezos shook his head: "Tens of millions of pictures, manual processing is simply a pipe dream! Let the sellers put them on the shelves themselves, which is equivalent to increasing the seller's time. The cost is contrary to our original promise that they don't have to spend any energy, and it will definitely discourage a large number of sellers. "

"In short, no matter which method we use, we have lost the fast and efficient way! Chen Mo is really smart!"

Jon suggested: "If we just blur the watermark, it is not so fine that people don't look carefully, and it can still be acceptable, then the difficulty of script or manual processing will be reduced."

Bezos rolled his eyes at Jon: "Do you know what consequences you will cause by doing this?"

Jon wondered: "What consequences?"

Bezos said in annoyance: "We upload product information without watermarks. Information can be said to be the seller's spontaneous behavior. After all, the seller just opened another store on LeTao and uploaded the same product information. There is nothing wrong with it. However, if the information we put on the shelves contains pictures with blurred Taobao watermarks, and we upload a large number of them, it means that we are confessing ourselves and letting everyone know that we crawled Taobao's data information with crawlers! "

"If the other party sues us, it will not only be a watermark problem. LeTao may be fined and rectified, and the watermark problem will return to the starting point and will not be solved at all!"

"I'm afraid Chen Mo is waiting for you to make this move!"

Jon took a breath when he heard this.

He had only thought about how to solve the watermark problem with technical means before, and he didn't expect that there was a legal problem in it!

When Bezos said this, Jon realized the seriousness of the problem.

At this time, Jon really felt his scalp tingling!!!

Adding watermarks to pictures is just a few lines of code on Taobao, and college students can do it.

But such a simple method has increased their cost of poaching by tens of millions of times, and even buried a legal trap in it, blocking all the ways they can think of and the roads they can take! !

This is too scary! ! !

Jon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Boss, what should we do now?"

After thinking again and again, Bezos said depressedly: "At this point, it is impossible to collect data from Taobao. We can only think of other ways.

You should immediately select a group of sellers with the highest sales among the sellers who are willing to cooperate with us, and then communicate with them to ask them to provide product pictures for us to help upload manually."

"If these sellers are willing to upload by themselves, we can also give them some concessions to encourage them to upload manually."

"Manual upload + seller active upload, although the efficiency is far less than copying and pasting data, it should be no problem to put 100,000 products on the shelves a day."

Jon had a headache when he heard it: "Manual upload? Then we have to spend money to hire a group of people to do it, and it will take a lot of effort..."

"What can we do?" Bezos said depressedly: "At the beginning, we advertised to them that they don't have to worry about anything. We will help them to handle everything. If we go back on our word and ask them to handle the online store information themselves, then a large number of them will definitely give up opening a store!"

"First, we will deal with the top sellers, and we will upload the information manually to reduce their store opening time costs as much as possible without adding extra work to them.

Only in this way can we put hundreds of thousands of products and thousands of stores on the shelves in the near future to support the scene. At that time, we will immediately divert traffic to these stores and let other sellers who are still waiting to see the profit space. Once they think it is profitable, they will naturally be willing to take action."

Jon nodded and sighed: "It can only be like this, but in this way, I All the overtime work of the technical department this month has gone to waste!

The cost of subsequent work has also increased a lot!

I guess everyone sees it, but they don’t say it, but they will be very disappointed in their hearts. "

Bezos: "At this time, you have to play your leadership role. The opponent is also despicable and vicious. The more they play tricks to make us take detours, the more we can’t be passive and lazy!

You have to find a way to make the team form a sense of revenge, let them regard Taobao and Chen Mo as the role of the enemy who killed their father, and mobilize their subjective initiative, so that everyone can burst out with greater potential. "

Jon said ashamedly: "I have learned from the boss, don’t worry, I will definitely play my role well. "

Bezos nodded with a little comfort, and sighed again: "I hope Chen Mo won’t have any more moths in the future..."
