A good product would be spread by word of mouth and users would promote it. Cloud Host alone was enough for a large number of computer users to download and use Hongxin's Computer Manager.
Unlike online game accelerators, this time, even non-gamers could use it. Cloud Host was destined to be a storm in the online world because of its wide audience.
Most of the first users to download Hongxin's Computer Manager were game users who "reluctantly" downloaded it to complete game missions.
But after they downloaded it, they realized how powerful the Cloud Host was! The same computer could run twice as fast as the internet speed allowed! Who wouldn't want to use such software?
Even if their own computer's performance was good enough, many users still wanted to run faster. Hence, the number of downloads of Hongxin's Computer Manager kept increasing.
And those tech companies also had the opportunity to test the "Cloud Host."
At Jinhai's software development center, the technicians in charge of testing Hongxin's Cloud Host were shocked.
"The Cloud Host function they were talking about is real!"
"This is simply another epoch-making technology in the cloud technology! How did they develop it? How big is the computer room and how many hosts do they need to complete so many calculations? "
"Hongxin is serious this time! We underestimated them before! "
Jinhai Software's management team was solemn. Hongxin's Cloud Host function had entered the software market. This was an extremely important test for them.
It was even more dangerous than Penguin and Cheetah 330!
"Take the evaluation results and send them to Penguin." Jinhai Software's biggest shareholder was Penguin Holdings, so Penguin had requested that the results be sent to them.
Penguin Software's Executive Vice President, An Haokai, received the evaluation results from Jinhai Software.
An Haokai frowned and said to his colleagues, "It's the same as our conclusion. This Cloud Host function is indeed the technology they used in their online game accelerator. But this time, it's more extensive and powerful!"
"This is serious!" Another Executive Vice President, Ning Shaowei, also had a serious expression.
Penguin Software only had seven or eight Executive Vice Presidents. Including the COO (Chief Operating Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), CTO (Chief Technology Officer), and other senior managers, there were only a few dozen of them.
Every one of them was a well-known big shot in the internet industry. Anything that could cause them to discuss seriously was no simple matter.
"How's the download going?" An Haokai asked his assistant.
The assistant reported, "We don't know the data of their own platforms for the time being, but our Penguin Search Index, Qiandu Search Index, 330 Search Index, and some software download platforms, such as Hongxin Computer Manager, are all rising."
"Cloud Host has become a hot search term on all major browsers!"
An Haokai nodded and said, "There's no need to think about it. It will definitely continue to climb in the next few months. If we don't think of a solution, our computer management business will be forcefully taken over by them! "
"We're not having a good time either! The CEO has personally asked me a few times. Before Hongxin appeared, we had been growing at a high speed. Now, the growth rate has dropped by half! " Ning Shaowei said, "The most disgusting thing is their online game accelerator. Penguin has a wide variety of games, and every month, we have to pay them a large amount of 'exclusive acceleration service fee' for each game!"
"Didn't their PC butler's acceleration and game acceleration overlap?" someone asked.
"No, they use a tiered and categorized acceleration service." An Haokai's assistant said, "Compared to Cloud Host's acceleration service, it doesn't include games and requires a dedicated game accelerator. Cloud Host's acceleration service is divided into levels, and VIPs enjoy faster acceleration service. "
"The versions used by ordinary users and business users are also different. This way, they can use one technology to earn money from several kinds of software!"
"Why does this sound so familiar?" They recalled that this seemed to be the profit model that Penguin had invented. Hongxin copied it directly.
"In the past, we were the ones who borrowed from others. Now, we're also being copied." An Haokai smiled bitterly. "We don't have a good way to deal with it. What a headache!"
"I think we should talk to Hongxin. How do we get this technology? Or should we think of a way to buy them? "Ning Shaowei said.
"Didn't they reject the acquisition last time?"
"Report it and have a meeting to discuss it. If we buy them now, the price will probably be high."
…
Compared to Penguin, Qiba330 was the most uneasy. Every internet technology company had their own "foundation".
For example, Penguin is an instant messaging software. With QQ and WeChat, they can use these two software users to quickly promote their other businesses.
Qiandu is a search engine and other companies' online banking.
For a large tech company, as long as they have their base, even if their profits are not high, they will not suffer too badly. There will always be a chance for them to make a comeback.
Qiba330's core is security software, and the carrier of the security software is PC Butler. With this software's users, they had developed browsers, games, mobile phone guards, etc., and had achieved good results.
In the office, CEO Zuo Yu's expression was extremely ugly. He had just spoken on the media yesterday and accused Hongxin of false advertising. Today, when the Cloud Host was released, he was immediately slapped in the face.
Now, on his Weibo, many netizens are tagging him.
"@ ZuoYu, didn't you say that Hongxin's Cloud Host is fake? Why am I using it so well? "
"@ ZuoYu, I used it. Hongxin's software is much better than Qiba330."
"CEO Zuo, why is my PC speed slow when I use your software, but my PC speed is faster when I use Hongxin? Can you please explain?"
"Apologize! Apologize!"
"How can you criticize others when you are trash? Haha! "
… …
Zuo Yu only took a quick look at the comments and immediately closed the Weibo comments section. He also secretly deleted the Weibo post.
But the netizens did not let it go, and some troublemakers quickly posted the latest news.
"Asking Zuo Yu to delete his Weibo post? What is the Cloud Host?"
"Can Hongxin's Cloud Host threaten Qiba330's position?"
"One day of face slapping, CEO Zuo deleted his Weibo post!"
… …
Zuo Yu took a deep breath and asked his secretary. "What's the situation now?"
The secretary picked up a document and stated: "We have confirmed that Hongxin's Cloud Host is indeed using the Cloud Host technology, but there is no further progress for now."
"The data shows that the number of downloads of Hongxin's Cloud Host is increasing, and the number of users of Qiba330's Cloud Host is decreasing."
"Why is it decreasing?" Zuo Yu questioned sternly.
"Maybe … it's because they downloaded Hongxin's Cloud Host, so they uninstalled our software." The secretary said carefully. Zuo Yu was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, scaring the secretary.
"Continue!" He ordered.
"In terms of market valuation, a few financial institutions have already lowered our market valuation. They said that if we can't deal with the impact of Hongxin, our valuation will be further lowered. "
"There are also a few media invitations for you to do interviews …"
"I'm not going, reject them!" Zuo Yu interrupted the secretary before she could finish her sentence.
When the secretary finished explaining, Zuo Yu's face darkened. He scolded: "Where did this Hongxin come from? Why can they create a Cloud Host, but we can't? "
"Gather the core team for a meeting immediately! This is the moment when the company is going to be listed, this matter must be resolved! "
