In mid-June, the popularity of pets continued to rise in the TT farm.
Many people often had dark circles under their eyes in the morning because they stole vegetables in the middle of the night.
"And did you steal the vegetables?" It had even become a phenomenon.
And with this, the number of registered users of TT had basically jumped three times.
In May, the number of registered users reached 200 million, and in mid-June, it reached 250 million.
In just a short month, the number of users users had increased by 50 million.
Under such circumstances, the penguins could no longer sit still.
On June 18th, Penguin released an update.
Including Qzone, QQ Pet, and QQ Farm, they were all online.
However, many people found that these games were exactly the same as the game.
For example, on the farm, not only was the image the same, but even the crops planted on QQ Farm were the same.
The first plants in the MT were white radishes, carrots, and corn.
QQ was the same.
As a result, many of the QQ users ridiculed,
"QQ is starting to plagiarize again. They don't want to be more creative, but they know how to plagiarize. As expected of QQ!”
Another user said,
"CT isn't like other small companies. QQ's previous plagiarism on CT is useless. We firmly support CT!"”
Of course, some QQ fans and Internet trolls also started to fight back.
Someone said,
"Can't penguins build cars just because others build cars?”
Another person said,
"The TV space also copied Myspace. It's not an original either.”
As soon as he returned to the capital, Lin Xuan was told by Pang Dongsheng about QQ plagiarism.
"We don't have to say anything about the Qzone, but the farm and the pets were your idea.
We have to fight back against Penguin's blatant plagiarism!"
In the office on the 18th floor of the International Trade Center,
Pang Shengdong, Tang Daosheng, Yao Xiaoguang, and the others were indignant and expressed their condemnation of Penguin.
If Pony Ma was here, Pang Shengdong and the others probably wouldn't mind fighting him one-on-one.
Looking at his subordinate, Lin Xuan was not so anxious.
Although QQ's plagiarism was indeed a hateful thing,
one should not forget that plagiarism was not a good thing.
As the reputation of MT became more and more positive, one could imagine that QQ's reputation would become worse and worse.
This wasn't something that could be eliminated with just the Internet Water Army.
Once Penguin was branded as a plagiarist company, the company would be able to do so.
For users, when faced with a choice between QQ and QQ, most of them would probably choose QQ first.
However, even if the words were so, it was still necessary to counterattack.
"Ask the legal department to send a lawyer's letter to Penguin. Ask them to stop the copyright violation and apologize and compensate for the losses!”
Lin Xuan said.
Yuanhang Technology's legal affairs were contracted by the most famous legal firm in the capital.
Very soon, Penguin in Pengcheng received a lawyer's letter from the orthodox legal affairs.
When Pony Ma received the lawyer's letter, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and
his liver was hurting again.
"What do we do now, Pony?”
Zhang Zidong asked.
"Don't worry about it. Even if we have to fight a lawsuit, it won't be decided in a short period of time. We can drag it out slowly, just until Penguin is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange!”
Pony Ma emphasized
that Zhang Zidong was silent when he heard this. After a moment, he said,
"I heard that the Yuanhang Technology that belongs to TT is that young man called Lin Xuan."”
Ma Huateng felt a wave of regret when he heard Zhang Zixing's words.
It was June, and with the crazy growth of TT in the past few months, Pony Ma had already found out who the boss of Yuanhang Technology was from various channels.
A young man in his twenties called Lin Xuan.
At first, he thought it was just a coincidence.
However, as some information about Lin Xuan was reported,
for example, some newspapers vaguely mentioned that Lin Xuan was born in Jin Province and that the capital to establish Yuanhang Technology came from coal.
If Pony Ma still didn't know who the boss of Yuanhang Technology was,
he really wasn't worthy of leading the big ship of Penguin.
But the problem was, even if he knew, what could he do?
No matter how regretful he was, what could he do?
Could they eliminate the rising enemy of Penguin, MT?
It was obviously impossible!
Who would have thought that a young man in the coal industry would
create a company with a user registration that caught up with QQ in the blink of an eye?
It had taken Penguin a full six years to reach this point.
"Torry, there's no need. That matter is over. Come with me to Gangjiang next month!”
Pony Ma faced Zhang Zidong.
Zhang Zidong naturally knew what was going on. Penguin had already finalized the matter of going public on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
Now, they were going to the major cities for a roadshow.
Including Singapore, Niu Yue, Hong Kong and other cities.
This was also why Pony Ma did not hesitate to plagiarize to make Penguin's data look better.
Otherwise, Penguin wouldn't be able to convince those investors.
If that happened, Penguin would have even less ammunition to deal with the challenge of the MT.
In the face of Penguin's disregard for the lawyer's letter, Yuanhang Technology immediately filed a lawsuit in the Chaoyang District Court of Beijing,
accusing Penguin of 36 acts of copyright violation on QQ Pets and QQ Farm.
As for the intellectual property lawsuit, the Chaoyang District Court quickly accepted it.
However, unexpectedly, when the QQ received the summons from Chaoyang District,
they actually filed a counter-lawsuit in Nanshan District of Pengcheng.
The lawsuit was against the QQ chat software for plagiarizing the QQ chat software, including page colors, reminder tones, and other 16 plagiarism.
After receiving the summons, Pang Shengdong exploded in anger.
As the CTO, Chen Ke bluntly said at the meeting that although Langma did learn from QQ,
its appearance and color were not within the scope of intellectual property.
"It's very simple. Penguin wants to confuse this matter. Fortunately, they have turned passive into active in this storm!”
Lin Xuan saw through Ma Huateng's thoughts at a glance.
Many people who did not know the truth saw that both parties were suing.
You copy mine, I copy yours.
Everyone was copying, so they didn't think much of it.
But the problem was that Penguin plagiarized the game's creative and design intellectual property.
However, the most that they could do was to borrow some of the colors of the boxes from the other party. It did not involve intellectual property protection.
Anyone who knew a little about the law knew that if the lawsuit continued, Penguin would definitely lose.
However, it would take a long time.
At that time, even if Penguin closed the farm, they would still earn enough profits.
One pack of dog food was 0.5 T coins, while the fertilizer was of both good and bad quality. The average one was 1T coins, and two bags a day was 2T coins.
The Yellow Crown, which was unique to TL, could be discounted by 20%.
The farm alone brought Yuanhang Science and Technology 100 million yuan of income every month.
Other businesses included the Red Crown, the TV show, and advertising in the TV space.
Yuanhang Technology's monthly income was as high as 150 million Chinese dollars.
With such benefits, it was no wonder Pang Shengdong and the others were so angry at QQ.
Was this obviously stealing Yuanhang's profits?
"Then what should we do?" Pang Shengdong asked.
"I know that Penguin's biggest source of income isn't from advertisements or QQ shows, but mobile value-added services!”
Lin Xuan said.
"Mobile QQ?"
Pang Shengdong was enlightened.
"That's right, Penguin's mobile value-added services account for about 60% to 70% of its total revenue!”
"
But I heard that the Ministry of Information Industry is preparing to rectify DreamNet," Lin Xuan said with a smile."This year's March 15th, consumers complained about DreamNet's unreasonable charges, induced charges, and obscene services!”
At this point, Lin Xuan smiled and said,
"Mobile QQ often lures consumers to engage in obscene business. I think you should understand what to do, Shengdong!"”
Hearing this, Pang Shengdong came to a realization and laughed.
"Hahaha, in this case, we can definitely make Penguin suffer!”
"
Boss, you didn't allow Yuanhang Technology to enter the mobile value-added service back then. Did you expect this to happen?"”
At this moment, Pang Shengdong felt that his boss was godly.
In fact, not long after he joined Yuanhang Technology, he had once told Lin Xuan to let Yuanhang Technology enter the mobile value-added business.
Because at that time, it was definitely a super cake.
The annual mobile value-added services amounted to tens of billions, even if this part of the business was divided by Mobile, TOM, Penguin, and so on.
However, the market space left behind was still very large.
However, such a suggestion was directly rejected by Lin Xuan at that time.
He also said that Yuanhang Technology would temporarily not do mobile value-added services.
At that time, Lin Xuan did not give any reason and only said that the time was not suitable.
But now that he turned around, Pang Shengdong couldn't help but sigh at his boss 'foresight.
In fact, Lin Xuan, who came from the future, knew.
DreamNet was profitable, but there were too many companies involved, and
there were all sorts of shady businesses. The government would have to rectify them.
In addition, Flower Mobile didn't expect the market to be so big in this area, so it suffered a loss in terms of the share ratio with many companies.
Soon, he would adjust his share.
Therefore, Yuanhang Technology's entry into the mobile value-added service would not bring them much benefit other than attracting a lot of attention.
Instead of doing so, it was better to leave it clean.
