Chapter 1089
For a moment, the online spectators were all confused and talked about it.
"God, this reversal came too suddenly. I used to laugh at and despise those guys who used ICQ. How come I am now an accomplice?"
"Could it be that Tengfei Technology is confusing right and wrong? This is too unbelievable!"
"Now they are going to summon those Fengge employees and have filed a lawsuit. It shouldn't be fake, right?"
"I was wondering why ICQ is so similar to Mic, but Mic's interface is better optimized and more beautiful, but it always crashes. I think I'm afraid I have to try ICQ."
"I didn't expect that such a big company like Fengge would steal a Is the software of a small company relying on its large size to bully small businesses? It's too much. "
"I have uninstalled mic. It makes me feel ashamed to use such a knockoff product!"
"I uninstalled it too. I just downloaded icq. I didn't expect it to run very smoothly. There are also many very interesting functions. I even got a newbie badge. It's so interesting!"
......
Because of the previous quarrels, many users who had not paid attention to icq also downloaded this software to try it out, and the newly added interesting recommendation tasks also made many people introduce icq to more friends.
For a time, the download volume of icq suddenly increased sharply, but Meng Tanqing, who had anticipated it in advance, did not panic, but continued to calmly follow the previously planned plan and continued to advance the plan.
But how could Thomas not fight back? In addition, he had already asked Duan Sha and others to recite the confession, so he immediately posted an announcement on the official website of Fengge Company and posted the lawyer's letter from Fengge Company suing Tengfei Technology for plagiarism.
Now many people are confused. Although Tengfei Technology's case filing was earlier than Fengge Company's lawyer's letter, it is hard to tell who plagiarized whom.
Both sides have their own supporters. The old users of ICQ naturally speak for ICQ.
"ICQ was released much earlier than MIC. I'm afraid that the development of MIC was not completed at that time?"
"I support ICQ. ICQ is the first and only instant messaging software I have used. It is constantly growing and improving. I have witnessed every update of it. It is definitely not plagiarism."
"Although Tengfei Technology is a small company, they focus on the continuous improvement of ICQ. I can see the sincerity of Tengfei Technology. I have also filled out their questionnaires, and even the opinions I put forward have been responded to. This is definitely not achieved by plagiarism."
......
However, Fengge Company has a dominant browser, so its user base is more than ten times that of ICQ. When MIC entered the test, it was available for download, so many users have used MIC.
They trust Fengge Company more, so naturally they stand up to speak for Fengge Company.
"Oh my God, someone actually said that Fengge Company plagiarized a little-known company? Is today April Fool's Day?"
"Fengge Company is so big, with so many R&D personnel and sufficient R&D funds, how could it be worse than a small Tengfei Technology? What a joke?"
"I have only heard of small companies trying to copy Fengge Browser. You know, Fengge Browser is a must-have for almost every computer. Even if they don't develop new software, continuing to optimize the browser is enough to maintain a huge user base. Why ruin their reputation by plagiarizing the software of a small company?"
......
The flames of the first plagiarism case in the history of the Internet gradually spread, from the quarrel between Thomas and Meng Tanqing to the users who supported both sides. Everyone thought that the other side was the shameful plagiarist, so that many financial media and mainstream media had to pay attention to this case.
And Meng Tanqing's Tengfei Technology and ICQ, under the plan of Meng Haisheng and Meng Tanqing, broke through the circle as expected. Not only people with computers paid attention to and knew them, but even people who did not go online also heard their names in the news and reports.
Just when the two sides were arguing, Thomas was called to the meeting room by the senior management of Fengge Company.
Among them, Raven, who was Thomas's direct superior, frowned and asked: "What's the matter with MIC? Didn't you say that the research and development was successful? Why is there a plagiarism scandal now?"
Thomas had a plan in advance and immediately replied: "Mr. Raven, it was Meng Tanqing and his Tengfei Technology who did it. I dare to guarantee with my reputation that MIC was indeed independently developed by our project team!"
"They are the shameful plagiarists. They boughtThey stole our employees and plagiarized the ideas and some codes of mic. I had asked the legal department to send a lawyer's letter a long time ago, but they were too cunning and kept delaying. "
Raven fell silent, and then asked other executives for their opinions.
One of them, John, questioned: "Then Mr. Thomas, why did the other party file a case before you, and summon your employees to court?"
When John and Thomas competed for the position of director of the R&D department, he was squeezed out by Thomas. He has always been resentful about this matter. Now that he has the opportunity to deal with Thomas, he will naturally not let it go easily.
Thomas glared at John unhappily: "I was too focused on work and did neglect it at the beginning, but they can't win the case. Justice is on my side."
John glanced at Raven and said, "This is not something you can just talk about. Now this matter has pushed the company to the forefront and may affect the company's reputation. Once something goes wrong, who will be responsible? "
"Besides, the person in charge of Intel called to inquire today and said that if mic really plagiarized icq, then their company would not agree to implant mic into the updated operating system installation program, and it would also affect subsequent cooperation."
As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes fell on Thomas. Thomas patted his chest and said confidently: "No problem! Tengfei Technology is just a clown. I will make it pay a lot of money. Don't forget to give me a bonus when the time comes!"
"Anyone can talk big, Thomas, do we have to put the company's reputation on you? If you lose the case, won't our entire company be unlucky with you?"
"What do you want?"
Thomas' face was gloomy. He was just a defeated general, and he had the nerve to talk nonsense here.
"I remember that China has something called a military order. Why don't you also make one, so that we can at least have confidence in you, instead of just listening to your one-sided words. "
Then John gave a brief explanation of what a military order was.
The more Thomas listened, the uglier his expression became.
