Chapter 487: Take-off (Medium)

Although the performance and optimization of the [UIMI mobile operating system] are full of praise from the people on the Panda Security side, it is obviously impossible to make Panda give up Weiyun if you want to come up with only such a deep optimization of Google's Android operating system.

At the beginning, Wang Zilong and they bit the shares of [Cybertron Technology], and even finally increased their chips to $3 billion, but Sun Cheng was not interested in this.

In the end, Panda made a concession, and another important reason why they agreed to [Cybertron Technology] to eat Weiyun was the purchase price thrown by [Cybertron Technology].

For 172 million US dollars, that is, the price of almost 1 billion national dollars, [Cybertron Technology] acquired all the businesses of Panda Weiyun and was willing to accept all the staff of Weiyun working in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

This amount of money is definitely not low.

After all, Panda Weiyun has so far not had anything to do with it except for the number of registered users, and it has been beaten by the search engine giant's 100 net disks with a market share of less than 10%.

In a sense, Panda Weiyun is an out-and-out failure, and it is still depreciating, and Panda should also maintain the integrity of the product chain, otherwise it is likely to give up the product that has to be maintained every month.

In Sun Cheng's view, spending one billion to acquire Panda Weiyun is definitely a big profit.

Although Weiyun's only money-making enterprise business was divested, his acquisition of Weiyun was not to make money, but to rely on hundreds of millions of registered users of Panda OO social software.

In the past, more than ninety percent of these hundreds of millions of registered users may have given up on Weiyun because the product was too poor and the user experience was poor.

But [Cybertron Cloud Disk] is undoubtedly much better than Panda Microcloud, and for network disk companies, the bulk of operating expenses are broadband expenditures and server needs, especially large servers with more data storage capacity.

And [Cybertron Technology] itself is a company that has mastered new storage technology, in other words, their operating costs are naturally much lower than other network disk companies.

One billion is not a small amount, although Sun Cheng himself paid for this money, he obviously has a better choice.

After the agreement with Panda Communication, the other party agreed that they could provide Panda Communications with a server RAM storage device equivalent to one billion national dollars at a price 15% lower than the market purchase price, provided that the quality could not be lower than that of the brand product, and it needed to provide it with a three-year warranty service.

For the first contact with [Cybertron Technology], Panda finally showed considerable sincerity, after the acquisition of Panda Weiyun renamed [Cybertron Cloud Disk], its social software Panda OO continued to leave an access port on the software, and allowed Panda OO users to access directly.

Although at the beginning, they also tried to use this as a bargaining chip to bite the bullet and want to exchange part of the shares of [Cybertron Technology], after all, many companies in which Panda has invested have failed to enjoy this treatment.

However, [Cybertron Technology] also has a very clear attitude towards this access port, love to give, not to count.

After more than half a month of crazy publicity and word-of-mouth accumulation, their cloud disk has only been launched for a short time, but it has already created a new high in downloads across the country.

PC and mobile, after a crazy promotion like a viral version, the number of downloads on the PC side of [Cybertron Cloud Disk] has exceeded 50 million times, and the mobile side has almost reached 10 million times.

Although some users will definitely leave after a period of early use, the share of domestic network disks has reached 3.2% and 1.72% respectively.

What really makes the outside world realize the infinite potential of [Cybertron Technology] is the growth rate of users and the number of its members, especially the latter.

At the time of negotiation, [Cybertron Technology] was full of confidence, and the total number of paid users of their [Cybertron Cloud Disk] has exceeded 2 million, of which nearly ninety percent of users choose to pay to become its permanent membership, and more than 500,000 users continue to purchase other expansion services while purchasing the permanent membership of the cloud disk.

Sun Cheng and they don't know the number of members of Panda Weiyun, but as the leader of the domestic network disk industry, 100 cloud disks are stared at by countless domestic media, and specific data were also announced to the outside world during financing last year.

The number of annual fee users of 100 cloud disks is around 14 million, which seems to be several times the scale of [Cybertron Cloud Disk], but in fact, it contains a considerable number of enterprise users, and because it is the data released at the time of financing, it is somewhat watery.

In contrast, it took less than a month for [Cybertron Cloud Disk] to be uploaded to the Internet for small-scale testing for the first time and then to start large-scale publicity and listing.

In such a short period of time, it has rapidly developed a world in China, even if it is faster than the development speed of some popular mobile apps in the past two years.

The confidence brought by this speed of expansion finally made Wang Lu, who was in charge of negotiations, have the last laugh in the confrontation with the giant Panda Communication, and successfully won the best conditions for [Cybertron Technology].

Panda Communication Group reached a cooperation with [Cybertron Technology], and after only two or three days of concealment, it began to brush up on some domestic media, especially the technology version of IT-related media platforms.

The leaker is a newly hired programmer of Panda Weiyun, because he is not a management and has not signed a confidentiality agreement, he posted a complaint in the circle of friends: "Tragedy, less than five months after joining Panda Weiyun, he was told that Weiyun sold to [Cybertron Cloud Disk]. The day before yesterday, the supervisor just notified that he would coordinate the transfer of server and user data from Nandu...... Today, the personnel will come over to count how many people are going to work in Nandu...... After the acquisition, the new headquarters will be moved to Nandu, and it is said that [Cybertron Cloud Disk] is willing to take over all the personnel of Weiyun, and those who are unwilling to go to Nandu due to family and personal reasons can receive a termination payment equivalent to six months' salary for more than half a year...... I've only been in the company for less than five months, and I can only receive three months' salary for the termination payment, laughing, laughing......"

This complaint posted in the circle of friends, I don't know how to be discovered by the media, resulting in a large area of domestic IT-related forums, media platforms, and technology editions.

“…… It is said that Weiyun was sold by Panda? True......fake"

"Really, one of my senior brothers works in Weiyun, and I heard that a billion was sold......"

"Poof, that non-existent network disk can still deceive a billion?"

“…… I didn't expect that there would be a fool who would be willing to make a price, Weiyun I still used it a few years ago, and I always doubted that someone would use it! ”

Because neither side responded positively, in the next few days, most of the news was false.

Until more and more media continued to visit, Panda, who originally wanted to wait for the server and all user data to be safely handed over, was announced to the public, and finally on the last day of June, a big 'letter to all users' was posted on the homepage of the official website.
