Chapter 35: The Adversary's Means

February 13th

Li Lan received a call from Peng Miao, the company's marketing manager.

"Boss, our customer service has received a lot of feedback from customers, and Huaxing antivirus software has listed our platform as a virus program. Peng Miao said anxiously.

"What did Huaxing Company say?" asked Li Lan with a frown.

"They said that the company's software determined that our platform had vulnerabilities and certain security risks. Peng Miao gritted her teeth and said.

"Got it, the person in charge of Huaxing Company called me. Li Lan said casually.

Immediately, Li Lan communicated with Xi Zhiyong to confirm the possibility of platform vulnerabilities, and Xi Zhiyong patted his chest on the phone to ensure the reliability of the platform.

Hung up the phone, he slammed his hand on the windowsill of the room, he was calm on the phone, that is because he is a leader, he must remain calm in front of his subordinates, so that everyone can feel safe, if a leader is very impatient, then the rest of the company will be more panicked.

He instinctively suspected that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, because everything was too coincidental, and he was targeted just a few days after the competitor was launched, and then remembered that the opponent's promotion method was to bundle it with another antivirus software, and he was even more sure that this must be a stumbling block under the opponent.

He lit a cigarette at the window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked out the window at the endless street outside, and exhaled a faint puff of smoke from his lungs, and the cold light that flashed in his eyes was reflected in the glass.

He was very angry, the platform on the other side was the cornerstone of his plan, as the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing his parents, not to mention the deposit he still owes to his classmates.

Li Lan expected that the opponent would not be restrained, and he also prepared a series of countermeasures, but he never expected that the opponent would be so unruly, it was really fucking sinister!

He went to the Internet café to download the Huaxing antivirus software, and then downloaded his own platform after installing it.

Sure enough!

After downloading, just run to the installation interface, a blood-red warning message pops up: There is a hidden danger of viruses on the other side of the platform!

To see is to believe!

Li Lan saw with his own eyes that his plan was thwarted, and his products were slandered and framed, his eyes were cold, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

He told himself that he needed to calm down now because the problem had already happened and he wanted to think about how to fight back next!

After coming out of the Internet café, he first called Xi Zhiyong and asked him to count the user loss and download data in recent days, and then called Peng Miao to ask the other party to consult a lawyer on how to deal with the defamation of Huaxing Antivirus Software Company, if we send a lawyer's letter directly to the other party, what effective information and evidence do we need to provide, and finally whether this can effectively prevent this from happening in the future.

Of course, he will not put all the hole cards in the legal way, God knows how much time it will take to go down the legal way, if you play for three or five years, the platform customers will have been lost long ago.

So he called Zhang Yiming directly.

After the phone was connected, Li Lan took the lead in explaining what had happened, and then went straight to the point and asked him if he had any antivirus software companies he was familiar with.

Zhang Yiming originally wanted to make fun of Li Lan who usually doesn't call, and calls to find himself to do things, but when he heard the eager tone of the other party in the microphone, he put away his playfulness and replied: "I have a few classmates in an antivirus software company, and I will send it to you later." ”

After hanging up the phone, less than half an hour later, Li Lan received a message from Zhang Yiming.

Li Lan dialed the number, and then introduced herself first, to Li Lan's surprise, the other party obviously heard Zhang Yiming tell the truth of the matter, and the two sides did not communicate in circles, and went straight to the point.

This made Li Lan sigh that everyone's success was not accidental, he just asked for contact information, and Zhang Yiming immediately communicated the matter with the introducer, and the subsequent communication saved him a lot of things.

"Hello Brother Wang, I just wanted to consult, is this kind of slanderous behavior very common in the anti-virus industry like yours?" Li Lan asked.

"How to say this, every industry has its unspoken rules, the original market antivirus software is charged, but in recent years, all of them have been hit by free software led by Huaxing, and its profit point is advertising fees. The young man on the other end of the microphone replied by the name of Brother Wang.

"Advertising fees, in fact, are also equivalent to protection fees?" asked Li Lan with a smile.

"Hmm.... You're not wrong to say that. ”

"Then if I choose to cooperate with your company, can I help make an announcement, and Huaxing's move is purely defamatory?" asked Li Lan.

"That's definitely impossible, there is competition in every industry, but all practitioners in the industry must abide by the specifications, we can help you communicate with Huaxing and remove the danger, but we can't help you suppress Huaxing. Brother Wang said with a smile.

"Okay, then I understand, thank you, Brother Wang, for delaying for so long. Li Lan thanked him repeatedly.

"It's okay, Yiming's friends, everyone is not an outsider, don't be so polite. ”

Li Lan hung up the phone, and her originally smiling face instantly turned blue, it was really unpleasant to be threatened and couldn't do anything, what is the difference between this and robbery and extortion?

After thinking about it, he thought that he did not have the ability to break the game at present, and at first he really wanted to sue the other party in court in a fit of anger, so he would be an advertisement, but after weighing the pros and cons, he knew that if he made this start, it was very likely that Huaxing, the No. 1 in the domestic anti-virus industry, would unite with his peers in the industry and target himself together, which would undoubtedly outweigh the losses.

But he knows how to fight, and if he can't fight, then grab one of the opponent's relatively weak ones and concentrate all his firepower.

When I got home, I booked my plane ticket, and then I told my parents that there was something going on at my school and I needed to go back in advance to deal with it.

Although Han Mei was very reluctant, she still helped Li Lan organize her luggage as soon as possible, originally she came back with a schoolbag, but when she left, she was carrying two backpacks.

The next day, Li Jianbang patted Li Lan on the shoulder, didn't say anything, just told Li Lan to go out and be more careful, Li Lan, who got into the car, waved goodbye to his parents, and in the scene outside the window that slowly retreated after the departure, Li Lan saw her mother Han Mei secretly wiping her tears again.

Li Lan's desire to make money became more urgent.

He knows that he must earn enough money before 2020 to ensure that he can resist all kinds of risks that he no longer knows about in the second half of his life, so that he can truly achieve freedom and never be shackled away from his parents by all kinds of worldly troubles.
