Chapter 312: Villa

In just two or three short days, news regarding Cybertron Cloud Drive and Cybertron Technology had already begun to spread wildly outward from the initial forums.

On the forums, the boards for several of the remaining domestic cloud drive giants, including One Hundred Cloud Drive and Panda Cloud Drive, had long since been occupied by overwhelming topics about Cybertron Cloud Drive.

Seeing the discussions about it growing increasingly frequent, and even witnessing cloud drive enthusiasts spontaneously advertising and promoting it at their own expense, which led to a significant loss of forum users, the forum administrators—who carried a certain official air—had no choice but to resort to deleting posts and banning IPs, yet it remained useless.

As more and more cloud drive enthusiasts downloaded and installed Cybertron Cloud Drive with a skeptical attitude, and simultaneously tried activating permanent memberships and received the mobile hard drive products sent out by Cybertron Technology Company, the forums, Weibo, and social media feeds were suddenly filled with various topics of people showing off screenshots and bragging.

The effect of this wave of topic explosions was also obvious.

Within just a few short days, the download volume of 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】 on major platforms had broken through from the original less than 300,000 to over 4 million, with comments on many platforms already exceeding several thousand; one must know that not every user has the habit of leaving comments when downloading software, and this was also an act without any official paid posters involved, so the heat of the recent topics surrounding Cybertron Cloud Drive is evident.

The total download volume recorded in the backend of Cybertron Technology Company was even more terrifying: 7.41 million total registered users, with the peak number of concurrent users once exceeding one million, among which the number of users who activated permanent memberships had shockingly already exceeded the scale of 300,000, and this did not even count other services like capacity expansion.

For a startup enterprise that had been established for no more than two months, and whose only product, 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】, had been online for just over a month, this was an incredible set of data.

Aided by this craze, 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】 finally attracted the attention of all sectors of the domestic internet, and many internet platforms, corporate giants, and even venture capital institutions had begun to vaguely sense the enormous energy of 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】, while also bringing this startup enterprise, 【Cybertron Technology】, into the public eye.

The major IT media, with the keenest sense of smell, did not fall behind; the veteran IT media and platform, 'Computer Home', contacted 【Cybertron Technology Company】 on the third day after the 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】 membership function was opened, and subsequently even personally dispatched a professional interview team to arrive at the headquarters of 【Cybertron Technology Company】 to prepare to interview Sun Cheng.

Unfortunately, Sun Cheng happened to have other matters to attend to during those two days, so he was not at the company.

General Manager Wang Lu accepted the interview with 'Computer Home', performing in a seasoned and crisp manner, leaving a deep impression on the 'Computer Home' interview team.

Subsequently, the report from 'Computer Home' quickly landed on the homepage of their platform and obtained a featured introduction section in the upper right corner of the front page, adding quite a lot of kindling to this fire that was about to ignite.

"As everyone knows, after entering the year 2015, personal cloud storage software, which had been popular domestically for nearly two years, has gradually headed toward decline; it is no exaggeration to say that winter has arrived."

"At its peak, there were once hundreds of cloud drive enterprises of varying sizes in the country, but by the first quarter of this year, the remaining cloud drive enterprises numbered fewer than thirty, more than half of which had already begun to transform, while the rest either stopped personal services to provide services only for enterprises, or were forced to limit speeds, charge fees, and introduce advertisements to cope with heavy server and bandwidth expenses."

"Under the concepts of 'sharing', 'unlimited storage', and 'cloud storage', the once-popular domestic cloud drives have now passed their short golden age. There are many reasons for their decline: high requirements for servers and bandwidth make it impossible for enterprises to lower costs; users are accustomed to free software and refuse to pay for enterprises, resulting in poor profitability; uploaded content involves copyright, pornography, and other information, which is not tolerated by the law, and so on!"

"However, just recently, a cloud storage software developed by a company called 'Cybertron Technology Co., Ltd.'—【Cybertron Cloud Drive】—has become popular on the internet, attracting widespread attention from users and the industry."

"According to the editor's personal testing, this software indeed has quite a few highlights compared to 'cloud drive' products on the market. The operation interface is clean, and there are no speed limits on uploading and downloading. Of course, these are not the reasons why 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】 has recently exploded in popularity; the real reason it has recently become popular all over the internet is that after 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】 launched its membership function two days ago, it generously gave away valuable mobile hard drives to users who activated permanent memberships and expanded their capacity!"

"'Cybertron Technology Co., Ltd.' is a startup enterprise established less than two months ago, and its founder is a 21-year-old young man named Sun Cheng, who is currently a senior student at 【Nandu University of Technology】 majoring in Micro-electronics and about to welcome the graduation season. Why would such an enterprise with neither background nor track record have the financial resources to generously give away valuable mobile hard drives to member users who purchased its cloud drive products?"

"Carrying this curiosity, 'Computer Home' exclusively interviewed Mr. Wang Lu, the former executive of the portal website 12345 and General Manager of Cybertron Technology Co., Ltd..."

Once the exclusive report on 'Cybertron Cloud Drive' and 'Cybertron Technology Company' appeared on the 'Computer Home' platform, it immediately attracted widespread attention and reposts.

And for other media, reports about 'Cybertron Cloud Drive' and 'Cybertron Technology' also immediately increased.

"Downloads exceed ten million in six days, paid members exceed the scale of 500,000. A new unicorn appears, the domestic cloud drive market is about to face a major reshuffle!" — Internet Online

"Nandu University of Technology genius's startup causes industry shock, startup enterprise—Cybertron Technology suspected of mastering new cheap mobile hard drive manufacturing technology!" — Computer Times

"Cybertron Technology admits to mastering brand-new storage device manufacturing technology, new hardware-plus-software model sweeps the cloud drive market, Panda Cloud Drive rumored to have major moves. At the same time, insiders reveal that the president of One Hundred Cloud Drive has gone to the parent company—Qian Du Group—to report for duty!" — Technology Home

In less than a short week, reports and news related to 【Cybertron Cloud Drive】 and 【Cybertron Technology Co., Ltd.】 swept across the entire domestic internet, almost in a screen-filling manner.

Just as all sectors of the entire Chinese internet were busy paying attention to and trying to contact Cybertron Technology Company, no one knew that Sun Cheng was currently on the road driving to the outskirts of Xixia District, because he had just purchased a new villa.
