SoftAlliance launched its own products and Yicheng's antivirus software at the same time, and they were all free, which really made many people unexpected, some people were surprised, and some people were caught off guard.

When the reviews of Yicheng antivirus software were published one by one, the number of downloads of SoftAlliance's products soared again. Compared with several other antivirus software in China, Yicheng's products are many years ahead in the core of antivirus technology, and everyone is similar to everyone in dealing with known viruses, but in dealing with the invasion of unknown viruses, Yicheng's leading edge is highlighted. Compared with the best antivirus software abroad, Yicheng is slightly inferior in terms of virus detection and killing speed, and it is better than it in other aspects, plus it is free to use, so users have no reason to refuse at all.

Fortunately, Yi Cheng was not satisfied, and after they saw these reviews, they made a request to the softalliance, hoping that the softalliance could send some technical experts over to help them solve the problem of slow execution of the antivirus engine, and they also hoped that their software would be the same as the softalliance, and it could surpass similar software on the market in all aspects.

The antivirus software vendors who blocked Yicheng Software tightly before, half of them were dumbfounded at this time, and the other half were annoyed and angry, they didn't expect that Yicheng would take a ride on the soft alliance, and he would come to a salted fish and turn over, and his previous years of efforts were all useless.

These antivirus software vendors extended their anger to the head of the soft alliance, and the gunmen hired before all turned their guns and fired at the soft alliance, but unfortunately they picked the wrong time, and now from experts to users, everyone is saying that the products of the soft alliance are good, and they jumped out to resist at this time, just like a small wave in the sea, and they disappeared after two flutters.

However, Liu Xiao had already anticipated their move, and strengthened the security measures of the server early, in front of a group of top domestic security experts in the soft alliance, the attack ability output by the antivirus software vendor was simply tickling, and it could not threaten the normal operation of the soft alliance server at all.

Moreover, they underestimated Liu Xiao a little, Liu Xiao is no longer the obedient little sheep when he first came out of school, they want to play yin, then Liu Xiao is happy to play yin with them. After Liu Xiao himself went into battle shirtless and carried out a few days of sudden, right, and bombardment on the servers of those antivirus software vendors, those antivirus software vendors quickly realized that they had picked the wrong opponent this time, and played cyber attacks with the elite hackers of the Soft Alliance, which was like playing a big knife in front of Lu Ban, and he was not one by one at all.

As a result, these domestic antivirus software vendors are very depressed and silent, and some even install the anti-intrusion system of the soft alliance on their own servers, which is quite a bit of "use the other to control the other". Anyway, they have figured it out, and the loss is not only themselves, but also the loss of those foreign antivirus software providers, and the probability of their users renewing their users after the expiration of the service is plummeting, less than the previous one, and the rest of the people are all thrown into the arms of SoftAlliance and Yicheng. Although these domestic antivirus software vendors are a little unwilling, they have no choice but to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, looking forward to these foreign antivirus software vendors coming up with a way to deal with the soft alliance.

This is a month.

Today is the time for the weekly meeting of the Soft Alliance, Liu Xiao came a little late, walked into the conference room, and the heads of several departments had already arrived.

The person in charge of the business department turned his back to the door, and didn't see Liu Xiao come in, but saw him holding a teacup in his hand, standing there and bragging, "Our soft alliance has always been the hottest thing, and I am the head of the business department." In the past, someone chased me every day to call, and when I answered, they were all looking for trouble, either to say that there was something wrong with the piece to claim, or to suspect that our products had poor safety performance, which made me anxious, and I was pretending to be a grandson. Now, I'm still being chased and called every day, either asking when our Enterprise Pro product will be available, or crying and shouting to invite me to dinner, just to let me go through the back door for them and mention their security items to the premise!"

The person in charge of the business department blew spittle and the stars flew wildly, and those people hid far away, for fear of being splashed. The person in charge of the business department said a little dry, after taking a sip of tea, he did not have the slightest intention of resting, and continued: "You don't know, I'm almost annoyed to death, there are too many people looking for me, I can't hide! Not only me, but the 20 salesmen under my hand, used to be all foot spanking, running out every day to pull customers, now it's good, it's all a treatment with me as a supervisor, sit there, a cup of tea, a telephone, and the phone doesn't stop from morning to night." Alas, when the business is done, I am also unprecedented, and there is no one to come!"

Everyone laughed, on the one hand, because this guy was too funny, and on the other hand, everyone saw that Liu Xiao was standing behind him happily, but no one told him.

"What a laugh!" the person in charge of the business department looked at everyone, "I tell you, learn a little, and keep up with our business department!"

"It's annoying, isn't it!" Liu Xiao patted the guy on the shoulder, "Then I'll give you a clean job!"

"Ah!" The person in charge of the business department looked back and saw Liu Xiao, first taken aback, then glared at everyone, and finally looked at Liu Xiao and smiled: "Don't, you still let me be annoyed to death by them!"

"Haha!" everyone laughed.

Liu Xiao also sat down with a smile, "Okay, don't make trouble, let's have a meeting!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the person in charge of the business department and said with a smile: "I see that those people under your hands are afraid that they will not be idle, the first thing we want to say today is that the enterprise and professional versions of our strategic products have been developed and will be officially launched tomorrow." ”

"It's sure to sell well!" smiled the head of the business department.

"You can't say that!" Liu Xiao shook his head, "The reason why our personal version can quickly open the market is because of the hype after the Black Hat Conference, and because it is completely free, but our enterprise version and professional version will not be free." Our investment in the personal version has been tens of millions one after another, although we have occupied the market, but in this project, we have not had a penny of income, if it continues for a long time, our operation will be problematic. Therefore, the enterprise version and the professional version are largely related to whether our soft alliance can operate normally, and your business department must vigorously promote it in accordance with the promotion plan we have formulated in advance, and strive to open the market of our enterprise version and professional version in the shortest possible time!"

"Well, don't worry!" the person in charge of the business department nodded, "Tomorrow I will blast out all our salesmen, and I will also go to the customers to introduce our new version to them." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xiao nodded and said: "Our company's technicians are basically back now, and the last malicious attack on our customers can be regarded as an end. At the same time, several projects that were previously inherent cannot be relaxed, and all of them must be supported in terms of funding and personnel allocation!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Shang Yue, is there any news from Yicheng Software?" asked Liu Xiao.

Shang Yue is much more capable than when he first arrived at SoftAlliance, and said: "Their real-time rescue platform has been established, we have done the test, there is no problem, and this function can be added in the next version of the update!"

"Then let's launch the new version of the personal version and the professional version of the enterprise version tomorrow!" Liu Xiao smiled, "With this real-time rescue platform, our customers can enjoy expert virus rescue anytime and anywhere, and at the same time, we can also build the world's largest virus monitoring system." Nowadays, the production of viruses is becoming simpler and simpler, and at the same time, there are more and more ways for viruses to spread, and it is no longer possible to rely on the monitoring systems of anti-virus manufacturers to comprehensively monitor new viruses. With our ......," Liu Xiao said this, and suddenly looked at the person in charge of the business department, "How many users are there in our personal version now?"

"More than 50 million!" said the head of the business department.

"Go back and bring me the relevant data!" Liu Xiao said and continued: " If the user feels that a program is suspicious, or our program finds that there are suspicious programs in the user's computer that cannot be judged, after the user's consent, these suspicious programs will be submitted to our platform and handed over to experts to analyze, with more than 50 million users to provide us with new virus information, then we will get the latest and most complete virus information for the first time, make the most accurate judgment, and preemptively issue early warnings, update the virus database, and provide solutions before others. ”

After Liu Xiao finished speaking, seeing that everyone didn't speak, it was estimated that he was off topic, so he coughed twice and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't seem to have anything to say, the situation has been good lately, what is the matter. Only Liu Xiao likes to toss, and every day there are calligraphy and paintings of "Be prepared for danger in times of peace" hanging in the office to scare everyone.

Shang Yue thought for a while and said, "I think the time is almost ripe for us to attack foreign markets!"

"Why?" Liu Xiao looked at Shang Yue.

"Since our product was launched, there have been people in Europe and the United States cracking our products, mainly to lift our restrictions on the use of overseas IP. According to the monitoring of our technical department, in the past month, there have been more than 80 cracked versions on the Internet in Europe and the United States, although our technical department has blocked these cracked versions through timely updates, but the other party's cracking behavior is still continuing, and there is a tendency to intensify, and the speed of cracking is getting faster and faster. Shang Yue paused, "Some professional security forums in Europe and the United States have also opened a special section to discuss and study our products, they have a high evaluation of our products, and the number of downloads of the cracked version is also very large, but they are very dissatisfied with our blocking policy." In the past few days, many Internet users in Europe and the United States have come to our official website to protest, saying that we are discriminating against us by refusing to provide such a good product to European and American users, and they will continue to protest until we change our policy. ”

"And this?" Liu Xiao laughed, "Then let them protest!"

Shang Yue frowned, "I don't think we should continue to restrict foreign users! We restricted it before, it was because the security agencies of Europe and the United States joined forces to slander our products, and we didn't want to entangle with them, but the market over there has seen our real products, and we think it's good, then even if the time for us to attack has come, if we continue to drag it out, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"

Liu Xiao scratched his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry, drag it out for a while, what about your technical side, also give those cracked versions a little buffer time, don't rush to kill them as soon as they come out, and let them also experience the excellent performance of our products." These foreign devils always look at you with superior eyes, and they preconceived that your products are definitely not as good as theirs, isn't this discrimination? But now when they see that our products are good and don't let them make them, they get anxious and say that we are discriminating. Ignore them, I'm just going to drag them until they take the initiative to open the door and welcome our products to them!"

"I'm afraid that if it drags on for a long time, it will make those institutions in Europe and the United States take advantage of it!" Shang Yue frowned, "There is no technology that will always be leading, I think those security agencies in Europe and the United States should have stepped up their research on new technologies in addition to guarding against us now, and are ready to deal with our impact at any time." ”

"I've thought of this too!" Liu Xiao sighed, "But now is not the time, they are now holding back and waiting for us to pass, wait a little longer, see the situation and then decide!"

Shang Yue couldn't say anything more, "Then let's do it first, if there is any situation, I'll report to you!"

After the meeting ended, as soon as Liu Xiao returned to his office, the person in charge of the business department came in, holding a stack of reports in his hand, "Mr. Liu, I brought you the data you wanted!"

"Okay!" Liu Xiao took it with a smile, "I'll take a look! What are we based on these statistics?" Liu Xiao flipped through the reports.

"These data, we are based on the update data on the update server, it should be said that it is still more true and objective, we this month, the version has been updated more than ten times, more than 30 million clients have all carried out these updates, and more than half of the updated clients have also exceeded 50 million sets!" "According to the statistics of other software download stations, the number of downloads of our personal version has been ranked first in the past month, and it has also been selected as one of the necessary software for installation." ”

"Very good!" Liu Xiao was very happy, "I asked you to do an investigation a few days ago, did you do it!"

"Yes, according to our survey results, 92.5% of users are very satisfied with our personal version, the rest are generally satisfied, and less than 1% are dissatisfied and think that they need to be improved. ”

"50 million ......" Liu Xiao stood up and muttered about this number, it was only a month to have such a large number of user groups, which was indeed a bit unexpected by Liu Xiao, he originally planned to use three quarters to achieve 20 million, it seems that the media hype during this period has indeed greatly improved the appeal of the soft alliance.

"Mr. Liu, is there anything else, I'll be busy first!" The person in charge of the business department stood up and prepared to leave.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Liu Xiao pondered for a while, and then said: "After you go back, think about it and see how we can make good use of these 50 million customer resources!"

"It's to develop it well!" The person in charge of the business department frowned and thought, before the soft alliance seriously underestimated the number of customers and the growth rate, according to the previous plan, this is something that needs to be considered after half a year, but now it is suddenly placed in front of the eyes in advance, which makes people a little unprepared, "Why don't we sell advertising?"

"Let's think of something else!" Liu Xiao waved his hand, "We are all engaged in technology, and selling advertising is a bit nondescript!"

"Then I'll discuss with the people in our business department in the past few days, and strive to get a plan for you as soon as possible!" The person in charge of the business department had no choice but to brainstorm, but he remembered something else, "Mr. Liu, the foreign devil who Shang Yue said just now came to our website to protest, should we notify the media and let them hype up again, maybe the number of customers can rise again!"

"You can decide for yourself!" Liu Xiao smiled.

"Okay, then I'll pick a few media that have a good relationship with us and talk about it, which can be regarded as providing them with news clues!" The person in charge of the business department went out with Lehehe.

As soon as he left, Liu Xiao took the reports and flipped through them again, the data was not wrong, and the investigation results were not wrong, they were all well-founded. Liu Xiao paced around the room a few times, and said to himself: "This is developing a little too fast, it seems that someone is going to come to the door!"

As soon as the words fell, the reception MM knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Con Mack, President of Microsoft Asia, is here, he wants to see you!"

"No!" Liu Xiao was taken aback by himself, he just thought that the appeal of the strategic-level product was so great, not only did he not expect it, but it should also surprise many people, those greedy people must be coming, who would have thought that it was really said, and Conmacke came out for the first time.

"Mr. Liu!" MM saw that Liu Xiao was in a daze, so he asked again: "To see or not to see?"

"Oh!" Liu Xiao came back to his senses and said, "Everyone has already come, so of course we have to see it!"

"I've put him in the little conference room!" MM said.

"Okay, you go and tell him, I'll be there soon!" Liu Xiao walked to the side of the filing cabinet, pulled out a folder, stuffed the report in his hand, turned around and went out to the small conference room.
