After not staying at the tea restaurant for long, General Manager Da returned to the staff dormitory.
When Engineer Chen and Engineer Wang returned from get off work, they saw General Manager Da coming in from outside the dormitory and asked, "Weren't you on vacation? Where did you go?"
Da Yu sighed, "I went to see an old friend, but I'm too tired. I'm going back to my dorm to sleep."
"Go and get some rest. During the ICQ Show development, your team didn't get much sleep, did they?" Engineer Chen said with concern.
The few days of vacation came to an end quickly. General Manager Yu had just finished his vacation and was preparing to return to the Engineering Department of Longteng Electronics.
At this time, after several days of hard work, Tencent Technology developed a skin-changing function.
Everything else is basically the same as the dress-up game on ICQ, with the same rules and settings. However, in many details, Tencent's engineers deliberately avoided the similarities with the dress-up game on ICQ.
Through their actions, they developed a skin feature similar to ICQ Show.
However, Longteng lacks sufficient evidence to prove that they copied or imitated ICQ Show's product regarding copyright and patents.
The ICQ engineering department was naturally very dissatisfied. Several young engineers, full of enthusiasm, started cursing at Mr. Ma after learning about his actions.
"What kind of company is this? What kind of boss is this?! Tencent, I'm so disappointed in him."
“I used to think they were a competitor with similar strength to us, but I never expected them to resort to plagiarism.”
"I am ashamed to have such a competitor."
At this moment, everyone saw that General Manager Yu had arrived, and they all shut their mouths.
The ICQ Show project was developed by a team consisting of General Manager Da Yu, five engineers, and an art consultant.
In any case, this represents the first major work by Da Yu in Longteng.
Regardless, ICQ Show achieved its current success thanks to the tireless efforts of several engineers who worked day and night to continuously optimize the data.
But now their hard work has been suddenly stolen by others, and the people in the engineering department feel sorry for the team that developed ICQ Show.
What they felt most wronged was that the company that plagiarized ICQ Show was the former company of Yu Wei'e, the project leader.
"Mr. Da, you must stay calm. Although we don't have evidence of QQ's plagiarism, everyone can see it... What's yours is yours, and no one can take it away," Engineer Chen comforted him.
Yu Wei'e, however, felt nothing at all.
All he could think about was his meeting with Boss Ma a few days ago.
It took seven or eight days to develop ICQ Show in a rush.
It seems that even if QQ were to copy this time, it would take at least a week. By then, he would have already successfully completed his mission and begun his pleasant vacation.
This means that on the day Mr. Ma arranged to meet him, he had already ordered the engineers at Tencent Technology to start the skin function transformation project.
Whether Mr. Ma felt guilty for plagiarizing his work, which is why he met with the Big Languages team, or whether he genuinely wanted to bring Mr. Da back to Tencent, is no longer important.
Yu Wei'e has now completely let go of her feelings for her former company.
He was utterly disappointed with Jack Ma, Zhao Nanzhou, and the entire Tencent Technology Company.
After QQ launched its skin-changing feature, many users in Europe and America, including those in China, questioned whether it was a copy of ICQ's recently released ICQ Show.
However, internet laws were not yet fully developed at that time, so even if some netizens realized that the work was plagiarized, it would not affect their download experience.
In a short period of time, QQ did indeed achieve profitability by copying this method.
However, this is not a respectable thing to do, so after the skin-changing function was launched, some people were enthusiastic about it, but in the end, it still could not reverse the downward trend in data.
Seeing the data, which had just started to rise, quickly decline, Mr. Ma became furious and ordered Zhong Xinxin to publish a statement on the company's official website:
Because the music player function included with our QQ online communication software is incompatible with the audio source decoding of Longteng Electronics' online music website, we hereby officially announce that the QQ software will suspend playback of all songs from the Longteng Music website.
The news immediately caused a stir on the Dragon Music website and in the China region.
The so-called mismatch between audio source and decoder is nothing but technological monopoly and unfair competition, isn't it?
