"Cut~" Zhang Xiaohua stuffed the business card to Liu Xiao again, "I thought it was a beautiful woman who left you a message, it turned out to be a foreign hairie, boring!"

"I remember Wen Qing said that Microsoft sent their president of China this time, how can this become the president of Asia again?" Liu Xiao was a little puzzled.

"It doesn't matter who he is, it's all Microsoft's anyway!" Zhang Xiaohua disagreed, "Let's go, go and see what this Con Mike is looking for you!"

Liu Xiao looked at his watch, and now it was almost time to finish eating, he pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll make an appointment with him first, and then go and change this outfit and invite him to dinner!"

"I'll go too!" Zhang Xiaohua said, "I also met the president of Microsoft Asia, it's rare to have this opportunity!"

Liu Xiao was helpless and said, "Okay, then you can also go and change your clothes! I will inform you after I set my seat!"

"No need to order, I'll arrange it!" Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand, "You can inform him to go directly to the Jiangshan Hall on the third floor in a while!", Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, and went upstairs with a bag.

Liu Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed it according to the number on the business card, "Mr. Conmac, I'm Liu Xiao from the Soft Alliance!"

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Con Mack is fluent in Chinese.

"I received your message!" Liu Xiao paused, "I arranged a dinner party in the hotel, and we will meet in the Jiangshan Hall on the third floor half an hour later.

"Mr. Liu is really polite, since you have arranged it, then I might as well be respectful!" Kang Mike smiled, "Then we'll see you later!"

"I'll see you later!" Liu Xiao said politely, hung up the phone and went to his room, today the mountain climbed so much that he was covered in stinky sweat, and he had to wash it off quickly.

Half an hour later, Liu Xiao changed into a suit and rushed to the Jiangshan Hall on the third floor. It's just that after a while, Liu Xiao found that Zhang Chunsheng had renovated the hotel again, and all these private rooms had new decorations, which looked more magnificent than before.

Liu Xiao sat on the sofa in the Jiangshan Hall and waited for less than three minutes, and Conmack walked in under the guidance of the waiter. Liu Xiao stood up and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Kang, fortunately! Please take a seat!"

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Kang Mike shook hands with Liu Xiao, looked at the decoration in the private room, and sat on the sofa next to Liu Xiao, "Thank you very much Mr. Liu for the dinner arrangement!"

"Mr. Kang doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Xiao smiled, "You came to Feng Ming this time to inspect on behalf of the headquarters, right?"

"Yes!" Con Michael nodded, "We received an invitation letter from Fengming City, and the headquarters felt that the investment environment and policies of Fengming City were okay, so they sent me over to have a look!"

"How did you just arrive today?" asked Liu Xiao.

"I called your company before I came, saying that Mr. Liu arrived in Fengming, and as soon as I arrived in Fengming today, I found your room at the front desk, but I didn't expect you to be still there, hehe!"

"I saw on Mr. Kang's message that he wanted to talk about some cooperation matters, I don't know in what way SoftAlliance can cooperate with your company?" asked Liu Xiao.

"Hmm!" Con Mike paused, "The matter of cooperation, at present, it is only an intention of the headquarters, this time I was sent over, I want to contact Mr. Liu's company first, to see if there is any possibility of cooperation!", Con Mike is notoriously shrewd, even if he talks about cooperation, it is also a dispensable attitude, the purpose is to test the other party's attitude.

"Mr. Kang, let's talk about it specifically, if the conditions are possible, any kind of cooperation is possible!" Liu Xiao smiled.

"That's right,...... Conmac opened his mouth to speak, when a knock on the door interrupted him.

The door was pushed open, Zhang Xiaohua walked in, and said, "Why don't you call me, I thought you hadn't come yet!", after speaking, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Kang Micha, "This is the famous Mr. Con Michael, fortunately, fortunately!"

Con Michael was confused by Zhang Xiaohua's action.

"Let me introduce you!" Liu Xiao got up and introduced, "This is Miss Zhang Xiaohua, the daughter of the head of the Zhang Group in this city, and the hotel where we are now is the Zhang family's industry." Zhang's has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with Fengming ZF, if your company wants to invest in Fengming, there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can find Miss Zhang!"

"Oh!" Con Mack understood, his face was delighted, "Miss Zhang, I am glad to meet you! ”

"Mr. Kang is polite!" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Na Kang Mike, "Microsoft is the world's largest IT company, and it is a model for all our businesses, I heard Liu Xiao say that Mr. Kang arrived in Fengming, so he came to get to know him, Mr. Kang won't blame me for being abrupt, right?"

"No, no!" Conmacke shook his head.

Zhang Xiaohua swept around and said, "I'll arrange all the dishes, since we are all together, I'll go and ask them to serve the dishes!" After speaking, Zhang Xiaohua went out and ordered the waiter, and then came back and invited Kang Mike to sit at the table.

The three of them sat down, Zhang Xiaohua raised a glass first, and said: "Mr. Kang is our honored guest, I am very happy to be able to meet Mr. Kang today, I propose, let's have a drink first!"

Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Xiaohua said again: "I heard that Mr. Kang is going to engage in some cooperation with the Soft Alliance?"

Kang Mike looked at Liu Xiao in surprise, thinking to himself how Zhang Xiaohua knew about this.

"Mr. Kang doesn't have to feel strange, that's the case, although we are said to be an enterprise with independent management rights, our largest controlling party is Zhang's enterprise, so Miss Zhang is not an outsider, so there is no need to be taboo!" Liu Xiao explained.

"That's the case!" Conmacke nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Actually, I was talking to Mr. Liu about this just now." Conmacke paused and said, "That's right, our Microsoft headquarters is very interested in the software firewall displayed by SoftAlliance Technology at the Black Hat Conference, and the headquarters thinks that it is entirely possible for us to cooperate!"

"Can Mr. Kang be more specific?" asked Liu Xiao.

"As you all know, in terms of personal operating systems, we at Microsoft have almost more than 98 percent of the global market share. The signboard is big, and there is a lot of trouble, because almost everyone uses Microsoft's operating system, which makes our operating system the target of many hackers, who look for vulnerabilities in the operating system for their own different purposes, and then invade, or make viruses and Trojans that attack vulnerabilities, so that our users are always in danger, and often have losses. ”

Conmacke also sighed when he said this, "Over the years, we at Microsoft have racked our brains in order to deal with these hackers, and we have spent more energy and financial resources on patching vulnerabilities than designing a new operating system. Even so, it is also very effective, the software firewall exhibited by SoftAlliance Technology at the Black Hat Conference not long ago really made our eyes shine, and afterwards our headquarters obtained the software from iDeface, after the test of our engineers, this set of firewall has a blocking rate of more than 99% for all existing vulnerabilities, almost all of which can be intercepted!"

Liu Xiao smiled and said, "We will continue to work hard and strive to be 100 percent!"

Conmacke was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Not at all, your product is already perfect!"

"Then what is the intention of your headquarters in terms of cooperation?" Liu Xiao asked.

"The way of cooperation can be discussed!" Con Mack paused, "But the headquarters is more inclined to one way of cooperation!"

"Please speak!" Liu Xiao stretched out his hand.

"HQ hopes that in the next version of Microsoft's operating system, we can bundle your company's software and let it exist as a safe attachment to the system itself!"

"I understand what you mean!" Liu Xiaoyi frowned, "In other words, when people see this set of software, it appears in the form of Microsoft's manufacturing, and our soft alliance is equivalent to doing OEM for Microsoft in terms of security, right?"

"If Mr. Liu says that, he is not wrong!" Con Mac smiled. Now into the global era, in order to improve the comprehensive strength of goods, foundry has been a very common way of cooperation, and, we Microsoft with its own strong market share, can instantly push your products to the world, we will bundle this set of software in all Microsoft's operating systems, including smartphone operating systems, so in terms of profits, you will never make less money, which is a good thing for both of us, we do this, but also mainly for the sake of the information security of their billions of customers！”

Zhang Xiaohua was a little happy when she thought about it, poked Liu Xiao under the table, and said, "This cooperation plan is good!"

Who knew that Liu Xiao smiled and said to Conmack: "Being able to lean on the big tree of Microsoft, no matter who it is, it is a great thing, and our soft alliance is no exception." However, I still regret to tell Mr. Kang that the soft alliance cannot cooperate with you in this way!"

"Why?" Conmacke felt incredulous, "It's definitely a win-win partnership, and if you disagree with the profit distribution, we can discuss it again!"

"It's not a matter of profit, it's that the soft alliance can't accept this kind of cooperation!" Liu Xiao raised his glass, "I've disappointed Mr. Kang, I'm here to make amends!"

"Mr. Liu doesn't need to reply to me so quickly, you can think about it for a while, after all, this is also an intention of the headquarters, if the soft alliance still disagrees with this cooperation method in the end, we can also discuss other ways!"

Because Liu Xiao rejected Kang Michael, this meal was also more embarrassing, Kang Mike hurriedly finished eating, then got up to say goodbye, and he finally did not forget to suggest that Liu Xiao think about the cooperation between the two sides.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Xiaohua muttered to Liu Xiao as soon as he saw Kang Mike leave, "I think it's really good to be able to cooperate with Microsoft, didn't Con Mike say that profits can be negotiated again!"

Liu Xiao shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked back to Jiangshan Hall, sat down at the dining table and continued to eat.

"What do you think in your heart?" Zhang Xiaohua sat aside, "If you want me to greet that foreign hairy man vigorously, you are good, and you will refuse directly!"

Liu Xiao smiled "hehe", "You, let the fat man Qian praise you today, you will be dizzy, you can't tell the difference between good and bad, not everyone who is willing to cooperate with the soft alliance is for the good of the soft alliance!"

"That's Microsoft!" Zhang Xiaohua pinched Liu Xiao, "With such a big career, will they come over to harm you a little soft alliance?"

"That's not necessarily!" Liu Xiao smiled and patted Zhang Xiaohua's hand, "Don't you eat a little more?"

"Just know how to eat!" Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Liu Xiao, sat back on the sofa angrily and got angry, she was indeed a little angry, as soon as she saw Kang Michael's message, she thought about how to help Liu Xiao entertain Con Mike well, and then promote the cooperation with Microsoft, but she didn't expect Liu Xiao to refuse directly, wasting her feelings in vain.

"Okay! Don't be angry!" Liu Xiao put down his chopsticks and sat next to Zhang Xiaohua, "There is a reason why I didn't agree to this cooperation from Microsoft." ”

"What is the reason?" Zhang Xiaohua glanced blankly.

"First, it's because of profits!" Liu Xiao smiled, "The profit of software is actually very large, a set of software can be sold for a lot of money just by simply copying, and the price of security products is particularly high, even if we don't cooperate with Microsoft, SoftAlliance will not make less money, why should we OEM for them!"

"Then let Microsoft add more money!" Zhang Xiaohua said.

"I won't add much!" Liu Xiao looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Let me ask you, if you know that Microsoft's operating system has vulnerabilities, then you won't use Microsoft's system?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head, "You still have to use it, it doesn't seem to have any choice!"

"That's right!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Microsoft has almost monopolized the market for personal operating systems, even if their operating system has loopholes, users have no choice at all, and in the end they still have to buy their operating system! Based on this alone, Microsoft will not add much money to us, because whether or not we have software will not affect the sales of Microsoft products, why should they share so much profit for us!"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded, but this is indeed the case!

"Even if they were willing to add money, and it was to the extent that we were completely satisfied, I wouldn't cooperate with Microsoft!" Liu Xiao added.

"Why is this, money is not a problem, why don't you agree!" Zhang Xiaohua wondered.

"Because I don't want to be scolded by the soft alliance!" Liu Xiao sighed, "In fact, Microsoft has long bundled firewalls in its own operating system, and in recent years, Microsoft has also begun to get involved in the field of anti-virus software. No matter what they do, their goal is the same, that is, monopoly, and this is true for personal operating systems, and the same is true for office software! But what makes them depressed is that the security field is different from the field they have been exposed to in the past, and each security agency has its own strengths, and Microsoft does not have a technological advantage in this industry! Now they have taken a fancy to the soft alliance, and they want to bundle our software into their system, which is not anti-hacking at all, but they want to eliminate Microsoft's opponents in the security field through our technology!

"Didn't you say you couldn't tie it up?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

"Antivirus software, he can't be bundled, but the firewall can, the firewall originally existed in Microsoft's operating system in the form of an attachment, he secretly adjusted the package, there was no problem at all!" Liu Xiao knocked Zhang Xiaohua's head, " Think about it, how many companies in this world are selling protective wall software, how many people rely on this to eat, once we cooperate with Microsoft, then all the people who buy Microsoft products, no longer need to buy separate firewall products, these security companies that make a living from this will all have to go bankrupt and close down!"

"It's so serious!" Zhang Xiaohua smacked her tongue, and Liu Xiao thought a lot.

"Maybe it's even worse, maybe the entire security industry will be destroyed!" Liu Xiao shook his head, "Then I will become a traitor and a sinner in the industry." In fact, Microsoft is also very depressed, because these security companies are to put it bluntly, most of them are attached to Microsoft's operating system to survive in security, it is Microsoft that eats meat, and everyone drinks soup, which makes Microsoft very annoyed, because he both eats meat and wants to drink soup, he doesn't want to leave it for others at all, why let others drink his own soup. But this can't help him, there is no absolutely safe operating system in the world, it is unrealistic to eliminate the security industry, and the security industry must also be done by independent security agencies, if Microsoft is replaced, it will not be a joke, while selling an operating system full of vulnerabilities, while selling dog skin plasters, what is this called!"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded, what Liu Xiao said is indeed reasonable, if the safety and insecurity are sold by one person, it is indeed a bit nondescript, is it safe or unsafe?

This book was first published

"The third reason, I have promised to give the agency sales right to the old money, I can't go back!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Okay, don't talk about this, I guess Microsoft will not give up, he will come to us, even if they don't find the soft alliance, they will find someone else to replace, but they can't find it for the time being, because the security companies that can have technical advantages over the soft alliance in the policy-level firewall do not exist yet!"

"It's really stinky, Yelang is arrogant!" Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and made a look of contempt.

"This is called self-confidence!" Liu Xiao knocked Zhang Xiaohua with a burst of chestnuts, "Don't you eat a little more? Today's mountain climbing consumption is too great, I have to make up for it! After making up for sleep, the ceremony will start tomorrow, it is estimated that there are many big people present, I have to take a good look!"

"Eat!" Zhang Xiaohua stood up, "Why don't you eat, this meal is Miss Ben's money, I have to eat it back."
