"Tencent Technology is a Chinese company, yet they still try to engage in monopolistic practices!"
"Hmph! You went to Europe and America recently, and you've changed your skin, haven't you? You don't learn anything else, but you've learned the capitalist monopoly tricks pretty quickly."
"What's this? Tencent's skin feature is just a direct copy of ICQ's dress-up game, without even changing the rules. It's blatant!"
And so soon after.
Netizens left messages online, demanding that Tencent pay the price for its plagiarism and unfair competition.
In Europe and America, the main reason for the boycott is that the penguin's skin-changing function is a copy of ICQ's dress-up game.
In China, the boycott is mainly due to Tencent's monopoly on music players.
This is quite a farce. Ji Qing, the owner of the computer room, saw the statement published on the official website of Tencent Technology and had a very complicated expression.
Seeing Ji Qing browsing the official website of Tencent, Xiao Liu immediately said, "Boss, is this the Mr. Ma you used to serve?"
"You were so good to him before, you didn't expect him to be this kind of person, did you?"
"First they copied ICQ's dress-up game, and now they're trying to create a monopoly."
Xiao Liu already disliked Mr. Ma, and now that Mr. Ma was being criticized by everyone, he became even more agitated, saying, "Saying that the audio source decoding is incompatible, isn't that just an excuse?"
"What he meant was that if you download the QQ software, you can't use it to play Longteng's music."
"Building technical barriers and monopolizing the market, Mr. Ma is really different from when he was developing small software."
Ji Qing's face darkened. "Stop talking."
"Fine, I won't say then." Xiao Liu picked up a broom and started sweeping up the cigarette ash left by customers in the computer room, complaining as he did so.
"It's strange. Those people clearly know that the skin-changing function is plagiarized, so why do they still download it, and why are there so many downloads?"
Since Longteng's headquarters are located in China, they naturally learned of this news immediately.
Chen Dong stared at the statement published on Tencent's official website for a long time.
"They want to create a monopoly, and they're too lazy to even come up with an excuse."
Annie brought over a cup of coffee and said to Chen Dong, "Stop looking at it, it's really upsetting. I think this Mr. Ma has really changed since he got rich."
"It's plagiarism and monopoly, unfair competition," Annie said with great disdain.
"What should we do now that they've pulled this stunt?"
Lin Zhiyuan brought over a basket of snacks from somewhere and handed it to Chen Dong, saying as he opened it, "What does this have to do with us? Our ICQ Show was the first to be released."
"Just worry about the snow in front of your own door and don't concern yourself with the frost on other people's roofs."
“Frost on someone else’s roof?” Annie interpreted it another way: “This frost on the roof was also carried up from our doorstep.”
"Hmph!" Lin Shuiyuan chuckled, casually took out some pastries from the small basket, and offered them to Annie, saying, "This is a cake that Sister Zhou Huimin brought for us. Eat up."
"Eat more sweets, it will make you feel better."
After silencing Annie, Lin Zhiyuan said to Chen Dong, "We're about to launch Happy Farm, so don't waste your energy on QQ Penguin Technology Company; it's not worth it."
Chen Dong nodded.
"Why would Mr. Ma think of copying our ICQ Show? And he copied it perfectly, cleverly avoiding our patented project."
While eating her snack, Anne mumbled, "I think this is definitely not a simple matter."
"He circumvented our patent, so we have no way to sue them for plagiarism."
While eating his cake, Lin Zhiyuan casually asked, "What do you mean? You suspect that there's a spy sent by Boss Ma in our engineering department?"
His unintentional remark instantly caught the attention of Annie and Chen Dong. If there was a spy, there was probably only one: the newcomer, Yu Weie.
“But Yu Wei’e wouldn’t do something so foolish.” Chen Dong immediately denied it. “If he hadn’t genuinely joined Longteng, he couldn’t have led five engineers to develop ICQ Show in such a short time.”
"This shows that Yu Wei'e really put his heart into developing ICQ."
"And then?" Annie asked. "After that, Yu Weie received a 100,000 yuan bonus from our company and also got the title of head of the Longteng project development."
"He's willing to do anything for fame and personal gain. Maybe after Mr. Ma took a liking to the ICQ Show he developed, he offered him some benefits, so he decided to sell the patent information of ICQ Show."
"Furthermore, selling ICQ Show patents doesn't require actually presenting the technology to Mr. Ma. We just need to tell Mr. Ma what kind of patents we applied for for ICQ Show."
Because the launch of the ICQ Show beta version was carried out simultaneously with the ICQ Show patent application, they only obtained the patent certificate some time after ICQ Show was launched.
Several technologies in ICQ were pioneered by Longteng, such as the interface, icons, and the costume concept. Therefore, other companies cannot touch these patents.
In this situation, for Penguin's engineers to perfectly circumvent most of the patents applied for by Longteng, they would either need a consultant with extensive patent experience and a background in software development to help them avoid the overlapping patents.
Or perhaps they've planted their own people within Longteng.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout in a person's heart.
