China's internet needs anti-monopoly law (also on Internet innovation)

Recently heard that the first China's anti-monopoly law to be introduced, this is a good thing, at least for coexistence in the current economic environment of various forms of ownership, but also a fair competition, equitable development of good things, the introduction of this dongdong, is conducive to enterprise entrepreneurship and innovation.

Yesterday, a friend in MSN Chat with me, talking about their own business disadvantage, feeling to the Chinese Internet model is too easy to replicate, in China is the user for the king, there is a user of the enterprise as long as there is a class of programmers, and then down than is who copied faster. That makes sense, and reminds me of the statement made by Chen Yi at the forum of Internet Innovation leaders hosted by the China Internet Association in conjunction with the Internet Lab earlier today: The Internet is a city, the beginning of the city no one, who first went into the king, self-appointed boss, and now 2.0 times? New entrepreneurs want to go to the city is difficult, because to directly face the competition of the big guys, they have the right to have a user, specifically in the gate to watch, whose weapons (model) advanced, who to learn, anyway, the user for the king. This will kill a lot of innovative applications in the belly.

Enterprise innovation is a cost, like the blog this dongdong, spend not only xingdong countless night and night energy, there are many netizens enthusiastic participation, we all want the internet to change the sky color, but the portal does not think so, anyway, the portal was rich is copying the United States model, 05 to see the blog started, and then copied, Who cares whether it is domestic or foreign? In the original is not mature and have a solid user group of the emerging blog market, the Giants to join, the balance will naturally tilt to the side of the portal, just like a newborn baby and a mature teenager fighting, the result is predictable. Mobile phone messages, online games, classified information, blogs, podcasts, a wave of new internet applications, in the case of a large number of martyrs company to open up the situation, often became the portal of dessert, as time passes, portals as long as every day on the computer to see new news, Who fire tomorrow we will rely on their own more cattle B programmers and DB copy can find new business growth point, this does not twriter out, haha, today is taotao out, tomorrow? Maybe there are Tsina, Tsohu.

I heard that Baidu did news, I heard that QQ to do mobile phone portal, and then heard ... I don't quite understand why China's internet leaders want to eminence. Is this China's excellent more than 2000 years of "Qin Shihuang thought" in doing strange? My friend said that in the United States, the first thing people think about innovation is not copying, but their own initiative to be proud of, a new dongdong out, we first try to use, to give him a relaxed development environment, rather than the first thought of imitating it, of course, not to say that the American conscience greatly good, nor is it said that Americans will not copy very stupid, This is because they have a perfect legal system and mechanism to protect the innovation of SMEs, first, the cost of start-up innovation is low, registered company simple, no one discriminated against your garage is your office, once again as long as you have ideas, to get angel investment is minutes of things, in the United States is VC in holding money everywhere chasing you, He will first believe you rather than doubt you (many investors in China are the first to suspect you, ha, then, in the United States, large companies will give small companies opportunities (Microsoft is to take the IBM order to survive, Google is also helping Yahoo to do search engine technology outsourcing lay the foundation), as long as your dongdong good, Everyone is willing to help you and do business with you. The biggest feature is the U.S. Innovation Protection system is sound: patent law on the protection of the model is also very cow, as long as you copy, you do not earn money even if you earn someone else to sue you, you must compensate more, ask who dare to copy? I think this is the key element to promote innovation, to protect innovation, in the legal sense.

And China seems to be different, a dongdong as long as a fire, or just news more attention, copy Xuhuo a little more, there are more than n people to learn, such as China's absolute amount of video sites are more than the United States. It's good to go with the wind, to keep up with the tide, but also very likely to let oneself lost direction, we are not portals, the portal is an aircraft carrier, we are small, so we often enter the dead cycle: this business has a future, do not enter a pity, entered, if the development is not good, very upset because the result is dead, if the development is good, Also very vexed because the result is the portal to come in, the threshold is all of a sudden high! In addition to registering a network company in China, must apply to High-tech enterprises in order to get tax and other aspects of the preferential (High-tech enterprise provisions in fact, is not suitable for the emerging internet economy), the registration process is very troublesome, in China Angel Investment Less (This is the reason I insist on doing Angel investment Conference), VC Case less investment, industrial investment can not understand the Internet, want to start a business, in addition to their own wages and friends and relatives of the money, who will give you, and this gives everyone iron under the heart to set up the railings, because the entrepreneurial failure, may not have to eat money, who also dared to insist on their own innovation, copying others mature mode may be the last resort choice. In fact, this may not be important, China's humanities so that China's internet bosses to small enterprises small innovators, eyes are long to the sky, the idea of that kind of help is not to say, but also to suppress you, of course, this is not the whole phenomenon, but is definitely most of the phenomenon. Of course, China's VC today is to promote China's Internet innovation is an important support force.

The law of the jungle, which is the rule of nature, is now repeating itself in the Internet world. We can not go to blame portals, to tell the truth, their pressure is also large, to maintain high market value, you have to continue to make money, constantly. And the biggest advantage of the Internet is that information is transparent, that is to say any good thing is not to cover, as long as there is a new fire in the market, the portal will immediately know, immediately with a variety of resources to upgrade their level, from 1.0 to 2.0, 3.0 (Sohu language) and then to x.0, anyway, their brand, funds, There's no shortage of teams. In fact, not only is the portal, including Ali such large house, have been building their own industry chain, we all want to make money, so no blame who's necessary, this is China's Internet environment.

Anti-Monopoly law, in fact, is mainly aimed at China's traditional economy, the state-owned enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises in China and the private sector of some norms, and the Internet industry antitrust is not so easy to be standardized, because the network service is difficult to be the definition of product and discrimination, Besides, which department of China is qualified to referee in the emerging internet industry? No, because the experts are leading the big men's salary. Entrepreneurial innovation is difficult, this is a well-known thing, to support the industry's innovation, on the one hand, the industry giants need the exemplary role, on the other hand, the need for social capital, the competent departments, patent protection departments, the founders themselves to work together to be possible to improve. From the point of view of industrial development, the Internet is still a very young industry, is still in the original pioneer era, there are many opportunities, but the global context of the Internet, is an innovation and upgrade are always in the industry, its growth is not only the Internet industry itself, related to all aspects of the national economy, In this sense, the significance of promoting innovation in the Internet industry is big, because today's Internet small business, perhaps tomorrow's national and even the global internet giants.

I think the Chinese Internet needs to support innovation, need to antitrust, you say?
