Chapter 248: Advantage

Just one morning's time, Mutual's download count has already exceeded one million.

It can be said that Hidden Dragon Technology's promotion is the biggest investment and grandest momentum in recent years.

Even the original Grand and Grand Plan cannot compare.

Moreover, Hidden Dragon Technology has even signed several of the current hottest stars as spokespersons.

In this situation, Mutual's download count naturally became even larger.

Just after one day, Mutual's final download count actually reached one-fifth of Penguin's!

As mentioned earlier, in recent days many companies also wanted to make social software, but ultimately all ended in failure.

The software developed by these companies even had final download counts less than one percent of Penguin's.

Moreover, definitely do not think that one-fifth is small.

You must know, this is still only the first day since Mutual's release!

What's next?

If Mutual's momentum can be maintained, could it catch up to Penguin within five days?

At this moment, inside Lu Yu's Office.

Lu Yu was staring at the computer screen.

He was currently browsing a forum.

Lu Yu didn't even need to bother searching; he already saw the screen full of topics related to Mutual.

"I say Hidden Dragon Technology is the most formidable internet company this year; who agrees, who opposes?"

"Indeed, Mutual's momentum is truly too fierce. Mutual seems to have just been released yesterday, right?"

"How come I feel that Mutual's ads are everywhere now? Turn on TV, any channel is Mutual; go to the mall and see the biggest billboard, it's Mutual; even when browsing the internet, no matter which website you visit, it's Mutual."

"Damn, I really don't know how much promotion money Mutual used! Does Hidden Dragon Technology's boss's family have a mine? Or even a gold mine?"

"I'm convinced, isn't that enough? Let's go Download!"

This is the Netizens' opinion.

Indeed, Mutual's advertisements have now reached a level of omnipresence.

Therefore, given just one day yesterday, Mutual achieving such results is actually not surprising.

But this is naturally not enough to make Lu Yu feel pressure.

Good advertising is useful, but what determines whether a software or company can succeed has always been solid strength.

Lu Yu continued looking at the posts, and then saw these Comments.

"I feel Mutual's software is easier to use than Penguin's. Penguin Space is indeed good, with many functions, but Mutual's personal homepage looks much more high-end."

"I also feel Mutual's page quality is better; if friends all use Mutual, then I will only use Mutual from now on."

"Actually, if it weren't for Penguin still having a few games I want to play, I would really only use Mutual from now on."

"Mutual's reputation is surprisingly good!"

Lu Yu's brows couldn't help but slightly furrow.

Often, competition between companies, especially between peers, actually hinges on that bit of product appeal.

Without a doubt, Mutual is indeed sufficiently high-quality.

"Now many people are comparing Mutual and Penguin."

"This is actually not strange at all, because the nature of these two software is the same."

"Let me now talk about the pros and cons between them."

"Personally, I currently prefer using Penguin, because Penguin's added value is greater."

"For example, the few games on Penguin have enough appeal."

"Moreover, humans are creatures of habit. Since we have been using Penguin all along, we will naturally continue to use it."

"But... frankly speaking, Mutual has many advantages; in terms of user experience, it is absolutely not inferior to Penguin."

"If... Mutual can subsequently offer more added value, then I would..."

"Mutual might possibly take Penguin's place."

While Lu Yu was looking at posts, he inadvertently saw this post.

His brows furrowed even tighter; the post's analysis was spot-on.

As of now, Penguin's advantage over Mutual lies only in added value.

And the so-called added value, for Mutual... is it a problem?

Lu Yu simply doesn't believe that after Hidden Dragon Technology, or rather Bruce, made such a big scene, there would be no follow-up.

……

As expected, another day has passed.

Mutual's official website released a piece of news that can be said to be shocking.

"Starting today, Netizens who sign in continuously for seven days or more within half a month will receive a grand gift package."

"The richness of the gift package is closely related to the number of sign-ins."

"Here we can slightly leak a bit to everyone."

"We Hidden Dragon Technology have already reached an agreement with the Game Alliance."

"The Game Alliance may possibly open all games for free to our Mutual!"

This news was like a heavyweight bomb, instantly causing an uproar.

Regardless of whether one admits it, the Game Alliance remains the most influential organization in the gaming world.

They hold the copyrights to most games worldwide.

That is to say…… according to Hidden Dragon Technology's claim, all Netizens could possibly play top-quality games worldwide for free!

For gamers, this is undoubtedly the biggest attraction!

"I hadn't used Mutual before, after all Penguin had been used for so long, I was already accustomed to it. But now..."

"What are you talking about! I'm already downloading Mutual!"

"I've already downloaded Mutual and am using it. For the next half month! I will check in every day!"

"I'm really looking forward to it—what game will Hidden Dragon Technology bring us in half a month?"

For a moment, all netizens were enthusiastic about downloading Mutual.

Even... at this point, hardly any netizens are discussing Penguin.

In a sense, Mutual seems to have surpassed Penguin.

And over this day, Mutual's download volume surged again—actually, the increase in just one day reached one-fifth of Penguin's total user count.

That's quite terrifying!

Obviously, Hidden Dragon Technology's popularity will continue.

This half-month check-in activity is indeed very attractive.

……

At this moment, Grand, in Lu Yu's office.

"Boss, our user count hasn't really decreased over these three days; activity is even higher than usual."

"But now, most people's discussion topics are related to Mutual."

"Moreover, Mutual's total downloads have already approached half of Penguin's."

Xiao Ma's voice sounded in the office.

Xiao Ma isn't Grand; it's just a conference call now.

"Mutual's momentum is too strong!" Chen Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
