"Since that's the case, why are you still thinking about launching Penguin Weibo?" Yi Anguo countered.

"That's different. The current Xinglang Weibo is just starting to gain momentum. If we launch Penguin Weibo, we can still be competitive. Even if we can't dominate, we can at least stand on equal footing," Ma Huaten explained.

"We merely lost the first-mover advantage, but it's not that we lack the strength to fight, nor is it impossible for later entrants to surpass us."

"Let me be very serious with you, the future belongs to the era of mobile internet. Although you've developed the mobile Penguin app, it's not good enough yet. If I create a brand-new mobile chat app, I can definitely beat your Penguin," Yi Anguo said with earnest seriousness.

"Don't think I'm being alarmist. I just don't want to intervene. You better not doubt my ability, nor question the words I'm saying."

"Moreover, there's Feixin today, and there could be another chat app tomorrow. Don't think that just because Penguin has developed to a market value of 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, 40 billion US dollars, you can rest easy."

"It's entirely possible to be unexpectedly surpassed by others."

"Therefore, Penguin Company must maintain a mindset of being prepared and vigilant. It's crucial to create a mobile social software that's suitable for use on phones. If Penguin Company gets surpassed in mobile social software, it will face danger."

"When the mobile internet era truly arrives, your Penguin chat software will become like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard."

"Future smartphones will be like computers; as long as you have a smartphone, you can surf the internet anytime, anywhere."

"By then, who will still sit in front of a computer using Penguin chat software to chat with friends?"

"Currently, 3G phones have opened 3G networks in some cities, including Shenzhen. Now, it seems that getting online isn't very convenient, charges are high, and data is too expensive for many people to afford."

"But this is just a transitional phase. In a few years, 4G networks will become widespread, then data costs will significantly decrease, and internet speed will greatly increase."

"By then, using mobile phones to get online will be extremely convenient. You can shop online, chat online, read news, and watch videos all with your phone, and family and friends can have video calls without much cost. Just a few dozen dollars a month for data fees, then who would still use a computer to chat on Penguin?"

At first, Ma Huaten listened rather nonchalantly, but the more he listened to the latter part, the more uneasy he felt, and his expression couldn't help but change.

If using a phone to get online is more convenient and even faster than using a computer, and if everyone gets used to using smartphones for internet shopping and chatting, it would indeed be an unfavorable situation for Penguin Company.

"Have you ever thought about why, despite Penguin Company launching the mobile Penguin app early on, the mobile-launched Feixin could still develop so quickly? Its users have reached billions?" Yi Anguo delivered another reality check.

"I'll tell you, there's only one reason, it's because Mobile's Feixin is better than your mobile Penguin chat app. The experience of social chatting with friends on Mobile Feixin is better, stronger, and more convenient."

"So, everyone unanimously chose to use Mobile Feixin to chat, instead of the mobile Penguin chat app they were already familiar with."

"When chatting on Mobile Feixin, just hold down the voice key to speak, and you can record a voice message and send it directly to the other party."
