Chapter 278: The Attention of Panda OO (Part 1)

"Manager Sun, you have kept me in the dark for so long..."

Once the Pure Version XP System exerted its influence, the previously ignored Cybertron Cloud Drive immediately began to gain buzz and exposure.

This was undoubtedly a good thing for Cybertron Technology Company, but Manager Wang Lu couldn't help but have some complaints for Sun Cheng.

He came from a background in managing web portals, so he was actually no stranger to handling publicity and generating buzz.

If he had known earlier that Sun Cheng held the trump card of the Pure Version XP in his hands, and if he had been the one to operate it personally, the promotional effect would have been far better than it was now.

Sun Cheng smiled slightly, his face showing a hint of apology, "Manager Wang, this really wasn't an intentional deception on my part. When I gave you the initial version of the cloud drive client, didn't I mention Cybertron Studio at the time? This studio was indeed initiated by me, but several of its members are still working at other IT companies, so it is inconvenient to expose them. Therefore, at the beginning, I myself didn't know if I could convince them to agree to let me use the Pure Version XP system we jointly optimized to advertise for us!"

This was naturally the excuse he had prepared from the start; it is true that people in this country are easily accepting of geniuses, but they are also very particular about details.

Sun Cheng had too many secrets that were inconvenient to expose for the time being, so Cybertron Studio, which he had created without much thought, became a rather good shield in his hands.

Last time, when he handed the initial version of the Cybertron Cloud Drive client he developed to Wang Lu, he mentioned it was a product of the studio, but he only vaguely mentioned that there was another team behind it and did not discuss it in detail.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu couldn't help but still have many doubts in his heart, but seeing that Sun Cheng did not continue to talk about it, he could only put on an expression of sudden realization and tacitly did not pursue the question further.

However, Sun Cheng using the Pure Version XP system to promote the new product of Cybertron Technology Company—the cloud drive—did indeed achieve unexpected results.

Coupled with the fact that Wang Lu had also obtained a promotional budget from him, how could Cybertron Technology Company miss this opportunity? They naturally took the chance to follow up with a massive, overwhelming wave of publicity.

It was just that Sun Cheng and his team had clearly underestimated the influence of the Pure Version XP.

After time entered the year 2016 AD, although Microsoft had already abandoned the XP system for several years, as the world's largest user of the operating system, the XP operating system still maintained a considerable market share domestically, despite having stopped updates.

There were numerous versions of the XP system in use; besides Microsoft's own Chinese version, there were a large number of various localized and optimized versions circulating on the market. Although the Pure Version that Sun Cheng had optimized based on the XP system had only been on the market for a little over a month, relying on its superb experience and the diligent promotion by the authorized XP Home over the past period, it had already gained a considerable number of users in the country, and the scale was still constantly expanding.

So much so that when the optimization party of this operating system, Cybertron Studio, was suddenly exposed and began its venture, influenced by the "love me, love my dog" effect, the exposure of Cybertron Cloud Drive and Cybertron Technology Company also rose rapidly.

The download volume of Cybertron Cloud Drive was still growing, and some professional IT media also turned their lenses toward this software that had just been released not long ago.

Computer Forum was the first top-tier domestic IT media to pay attention to Cybertron Technology Company and Cybertron Cloud Drive. They wrote as follows in an article titled "The Optimization Party of the Pure Version XP System Surfaces, a New Player Worth Looking Forward to in the Cloud Drive Market":

"Recently, the production team of the 'Pure Version XP System,' which once caused quite a stir on major domestic operating system forums—Cybertron Studio—has finally surfaced. As a new work optimized on the basis of the former star product of the original operating system giant, Microsoft—XP, the 'Pure Version XP' immediately attracted widespread attention in the country as soon as it was released."

"The editor originally downloaded this operating system out of work necessity, but didn't expect that after using it, the editor would completely abandon the Win8 system and become a die-hard fan of Cybertron Studio."

"Thorough streamlining, comprehensive optimization, excellent debugging—this mysterious team, Cybertron Studio, which had never been heard of before, although only performing optimizations on the basis of Microsoft's XP system, made an old and outdated operating system undergo a transformation as if it had been reborn. Many industry insiders have given high praise to the Pure Version XP, believing that the difficulty of this level of optimization is no less than re-developing an operating system."

"The editor once specifically asked people to inquire about Cybertron Studio, but never had any results. Unexpectedly, this time Cybertron Studio surfaced on its own; having renamed themselves Cybertron Technology Company, they have entered the cloud drive market with a newly developed product, Cybertron Cloud Drive."

"The editor downloaded and tried out Cybertron Cloud Drive and has to admit that this cloud drive indeed has its unique merits. Unrestricted uploading and downloading, plus three modes to choose from; apart from the cloud drive capacity being slightly small at only 1T, the operation interface is also very clean! Let's look forward to it a little..."

And in other media, similar reports began to appear.

"The optimization party of the 'Pure Version XP' system surfaces, Cybertron Studio surfaces with a new product!" — Computer Home

"A studio stirs up half a pond. Mysterious system optimization party, Cybertron Studio, gains industry attention!" — Internet Technology

Clearly, a considerable number of media, like Computer Forum, focused their attention on the surfacing of Cybertron Studio, the optimization party of the Pure Version XP system, and did not give much space to the new cloud drive product launched by Cybertron Technology Company.

But what Sun Cheng did not know was that because of the Pure Version XP system, even some internet giants had begun to pay attention to his small company.

In the warm southern port city—Shenzhen, the headquarters of the domestic internet social software giant—Panda Communications.

In a conference room, the senior management of Panda Communications was holding an emergency meeting.

The president of Panda Computer Manager, the president of Panda Communications, the CTO of Panda Communications, and over a dozen other heads of Panda Communications Group were gathered together; a meeting triggered by Cybertron Technology Company was currently underway.

PS:

The busy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival have finally ended. Looking back, the updates from September until now have indeed been lackluster; I should consider paying off my debts.
