Life at the Top

Chapter 84

“If one billion isn’t enough, then two billion, three billion!

“There is not a single person in the domestic internet industry who has more money than me.”

While Jasper’s ‘two billion’ and ‘three billion’ were mostly exaggerations, newfound confidence had grown in the five’s hearts with Jasper’s words.

Hudson waved his hand. “Everyone heard what Mr. Laine said, right? Stop hesitating and get to work!”

“Alright. Cameron, Logan, and I will take charge of building the webpage’s content as fast as we can, while Zaine and Daniel, you two endure a little more and finalize the new features we made last night. We’ll upload the updated software before noon today!”

…

After a while of busying and under the expectant gazes of everyone, Hudson released the newest version of KK at 12 o’clock sharp!

This update had caused an uproar within the market!

It now seemed to everyone that Terizone was long prepared for Sena’s aggressive attack, for they managed to upload a new version of KK the next day.

Files could be transferred! Support resumable breakpoints!

Intra-city friend-making! Talking to the opposite sex!

Video calling! Communication was no longer restricted to texts!

The three lines summarizing the update neatly and efficiently told the entire country of Terizone’s determination to counterattack.

Reading the three sentences, all users in the country were stunned.

They had never expected such messaging software to be so outstanding.

Video calling in itself was rather useless. Unless the users went to an internet cafe, most families did not have cameras at home. As such, it was mainly an extra feature.

However, the file transferring feature that supported resumable breakpoints had cast the menacing Sena Chat into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Sena Chat’s selling point was its new ability to transfer files, but it was now replaced by Terizone’s enhanced version that supported resumable breakpoints. It was a slap to Sena’s face.

What was more extraordinary was KK’s function to allow users to make friends.

Normal users were elated that they no longer had to worry about not being able to make friends of the opposite gender. Meanwhile, the large investors had made their decisions and praised Terizone’s ability.

The general public joined the frenzy while those of the same line of business came to evaluate.

Even the big shots within this circle were startled by Terizone’s fierce counterattack.

Anyone with sharp eyes could tell that the friend-making function was the true ultimate attack among KK’s updates.

As such, Sena, after having released their software that morning and gleefully watching their user count increasing, were suddenly thrown into a spiral that afternoon.

Sena Chat’s advertisement started to seem like a background for KK.

No one wondered how Sena Chat was doing, for everyone was curious about KK’s new intra-city friend-making feature.

Sena’s headquarters in Capital City, in the chairman’s office. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

With a pale face, Dane stared at KK’s new version on the screen but did not say anything.

There were quite a few people in the office, most of whom were Sena’s senior executives—especially those in charge of Project Sena Chat. Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and they looked like they were about to cry.

“Would someone like to tell me why KK released an updated version after Sena Chat was released this morning? That resumable breakpoint has turned Sena Chat into a complete joke!”

Dane roared, his anger no longer able to be suppressed.

“Do you even know how many phone calls I’ve gotten today? Do you know how many of them were watching me make a fool of myself? Sena? We might as well be renamed Senile instead!”

With a hot temper, Dane vented his frustrations while the office went silent. No one dared to speak in fear of getting shouted at.

James Lennon, the person in charge of Project Sena Chat carefully piped up, “There’s got to be some kind of divine being helping Terizone, Mr. Warren. I refuse to believe that they developed these features by themselves. Something tells me that there’s more to this than we know.”

James continued to speak as he took in Dane’s dark but silent expression, “Each of these three features is strong enough to make Terizone the top chatting software in the country. Yet Terizone pushed for all of them at the same time. Someone has to be helping them.”

Dane threw a file at James’ face and spoke chillingly, “If I needed you to tell me this, Sena would’ve closed down a long time ago. This is Terizone’s equity registration data. JW Capital had only just invested in Terizone a few days ago. This must be the work of JW Capital!”

“JW Capital? The legendary company that managed to bring Jack over from Weresoft?” Someone in the office gasped.
