Knocking on the door and entering, Liu Xiao saw that those people were all sitting there, no one spoke, and he knew by looking at his face that they were not discussing happily.

Liu Xiao coughed, looked at the time, and said: "It's almost time for dinner, it is indeed a very rare and very honorable thing for the soft alliance to be able to come to so many distinguished guests today, I have asked people to go to the hotel to book a seat, and please be sure to enjoy it." Our business is business, and we still have to eat!"

Those few looked at Liu Xiao, stood up and politely excused themselves, "No, we have just discussed some results here, and the headquarters has to wait for a reply, so I won't bother Mr. Liu, thank you Mr. Liu for your kindness and hospitality, this meal will be eaten when our cooperation is reached in the future, and we will invite Mr. Liu at that time!"

These people all have this idea, how can they have any intention to eat, after they are finished, you look at me, I look at you, and they each supervised and went out of the door of the soft alliance, for fear that the other party would make any small moves after they left!

Liu Xiao shook his head helplessly, but he secretly felt funny in his heart, and sent these people directly downstairs, watching them all leave in their own cars, and then turned around and walked upstairs. As soon as I got out of the elevator, the phone rang, and it was John.

"Mr. John, do you have anything else?" asked Liu Xiao.

"Mr. Liu, I have booked a seat at the Jinjing Hotel, please be sure to enjoy the light at night!" John smiled, "We have also drawn up a cooperation agreement with you, and I want to sign it in the evening, what do you think?"

Liu Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, when we see the contract in the evening, we'll talk about it!"

"Okay, good!" John responded, "Then I will wait for Mr. Liu's arrival!"

"I'll sign a contract with you when I meet, I don't even think about it!" Hung up the phone, Liu Xiao was happy there, he couldn't wait to sign it quickly, so that those people could fight more fiercely, but on the surface, they still had to stand it.

From the elevator door to the door of his office, in just a short way, Liu Xiao received all the calls from those people just now, all of them came to invite dinner, they all wanted to avoid other people, talk to Liu Xiao in private, and give the matter of cooperation. Liu Xiao is almost helpless, Lao Tzu invited you to dinner just now, and you all turned away one by one, so you all came to invite me to dinner, isn't this cheap?

Liu Xiao has already agreed to John's dinner, and these are naturally all to be excused. It's just that as soon as he said that there was a new dinner in the evening, the voices of those people on the phone changed a few times, and they were probably guessing whether someone was faster than him and took the lead. Liu Xiao didn't bother to speculate on the psychology of these people, hung up the phone, went to various departments to prepare all the things needed to sign the contract, stuffed them into his briefcase, and waited for the evening to collect John's 10 billion.

Early the next morning, the website of SoftAlliance was updated, and SoftAlliance sold its strategic products in the high-end market in Europe to a European company called Dorice for exclusive operation at a price of 10 billion US dollars.

This news obviously caught everyone off guard, especially those FSK peers, they just discussed the decision with the headquarters last night, and planned to talk to the soft alliance again today, and then blocked the other ones by the way, who knew that it was only one night's work, FSK had already done the soft alliance, and everyone knew that Dorice was a company owned by FSK.

These people were completely stupid and regretted, knowing that John would agree to divide the market when he proposed yesterday, so that John would not preemptively start before everyone was decided. However, after doubting, they also guessed that it must have been John who invited Liu Xiao to dinner last night, with a fund of 10 billion, John, the person in charge of China, dared to make a decision so easily, it can be seen that he was prepared for a long time, maybe he was acting yesterday, and he let the old guy fool him.

Whether it is regret or what, it is too late at this time, these people have to report to the headquarters, change their strategy again, and hurry to the soft alliance, they must rush to other markets before others have changed, otherwise they were really busy some time ago, and the computer network of the company's headquarters was infected by the virus in vain.

It's just that they didn't even see Liu Xiao's shadow today, standing at the door of the soft alliance to welcome them, it was the business director of the soft alliance, and now the business director took over the matter, and the business director put on a posture of "whoever gives more money will sell it to". If it is only Štek to win the Russian market, then these people will unite and have a way to resist the soft alliance, but FSK's current actions have completely cut off this possibility, and everyone must do their best to win the soft alliance market, which is not determined by themselves, but by the needs of those customers behind them.

At this time, Liu Xiao was in the conference room, holding a celebration party with several other directors of the company, and the cooperation with FSK could already mark that the soft alliance broke the plan of these international consortia to suppress the soft alliance and try to control the soft alliance.

Liu Xiao looked very happy, " From the time we announced our entry into the overseas market to now, only two months, if we count from the Lei Cheng incident, there is only less than a month, our soft alliance with its own actions and counterattacks, will hinder us from entering the overseas market of the biggest shackles completely smashed, we have achieved the original goal, this is just the beginning, but I think in the next few days, we will sign agreements with more companies to sell their strategic level to all the high-end markets in the world, then we can tell everyone loudly that the soft alliance has become the world's largest network security core technology provider worthy of the name, we are the overlord of this market！”

After listening to Liu Xiao's words, several supervisors were also excited, all of Liu Xiao's previous tricks can be said to have been completely beyond everyone's expectations, and Liu Xiao did not explain the intention of these tricks, everyone is also sweating these days, and their hearts are always in the place closest to the voice, now all the problems are no longer a problem, Liu Xiao said all the intentions, and everyone was admired.

Liu Xiao smiled and took out a plan, "Now we have money in our hands, this is a plan written during this time, the purpose is how to spend all this money, everyone will take a look." After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he handed it to Shang Yue, who was closest to him.

The document was too thick, and Shang Yue couldn't finish reading it for a while, so Liu Xiao simply introduced it to everyone, "This is a plan for the future construction of the soft alliance." In fact, I don't need to say all the fixed assets of the soft alliance, everyone can see it in and out of the company all day long, and I don't think it's worth 10 million. ”

Everyone laughed, if you really want to sell all these belongings of the soft alliance to the scrap collectors, you really responded to the joke of the employee that day, it is not worth a few dollars, and the scrap collectors may not be willing to accept it.

"I've been writing this plan since our company was burglarized. Everyone thinks about it, since our belongings are worthless, then why are others willing to spend so much money to buy our equity, or even spend several times the value of our equity to buy our business?" Liu Xiao looked at everyone, "That's because of the technology in our hands, in the final analysis, the only valuable goods in our hands are strategic-level technology." ”

Everyone nodded, this is obvious, all the actions of those people before were aimed at this technology of the soft alliance.

"But how much thought have we put into protecting the only valuable technology in our hands?" Liu Xiao sighed, "Can we guarantee that what happened last time won't happen again?"

The crowd was silent and did not speak.

Liu Xiao shook his head, "We can't guarantee anything, and we can even say that if the other party comes back next time, he will still be in a no-man's land, and there will be no change in our security measures and facilities compared with before." ”

"Yes, we have to come up with a sum of money to upgrade and retrofit our security measures and facilities. In our technology-focused industry, there's an unwritten rule that we often spend a dollar to make a technology, but we spend two dollars or more to protect our technology. "We've really failed in this area before, especially since we're still a security-oriented business, and this shouldn't happen." ”

Liu Xiao nodded, "So, for a period of time in the future, security will be our top priority." Boss Xiong had previously bought a piece of land for our soft alliance in Fengming, I wanted to take this opportunity to build an office building belonging to our soft alliance in Fengming, all the security links, we were designed by ourselves, and some advanced security equipment that could not be purchased before because of environmental restrictions, after the building was completed, I wanted to move the headquarters of the soft alliance to Feng Ming. ”

"Moved to Fengming?" everyone was a little surprised, and looked at Liu Xiao in surprise.

"Yes, moving to Fengming, now many high-tech enterprises around the world have moved into Fengming, such an environment is more conducive to the development of our soft alliance. Liu Xiao paused, "I will discuss this matter with you today, that is, considering that many employees of the company are at home in Haicheng, and it may be difficult to move away completely, I want everyone to go back and do a statistics and survey on the employees of their respective departments." ”

"Yes!" Everyone also nodded, many people have settled in Haicheng, and let everyone move to Fengming for a while, it is estimated that many people will not be able to adapt to it.

"That's all for this matter first, this is not the main topic of our meeting today, let's do an investigation after we go back, and then we will have a specific discussion when we have the next meeting!" Liu Xiao cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Let's talk about other spending plans first." If we sell all our business, it means that we will not have any money in the next three years, although this money is enough for us to use for ten or eight years, but we can't sit back and eat like this, new projects are more launched, and we have to create more profitable projects. ”

Liu Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, "At present, there are only two projects that have been determined, one is the anti-virus project of Yicheng Software, and the other is the general security system transformation technology that we have been preparing for a long time, and then we can free up more manpower to do these two projects, I think for a period of time, these two projects will become our only two income projects." ”

Everyone nodded, this is indeed a problem, after the soft alliance sells the existing business, it has to find something to do for itself.

"There is also an uncertain project, that is, the plan of the multi-echelon network defense system, this project is our highlight, which is very important for our future development, and if it is done, it will become our next big profit growth point after the strategic level. The reason why I say it's uncertain is because this project is difficult to complete with our own soft alliance alone, but I am now trying to cooperate with the network monitor, and I believe that there will be a definite news soon. When Liu Xiao said this, he also frowned, it has been a long time, Huang Xing said that he would give a reply in a week, but now it has been several weeks, and there is still no news, it seems that he has to find another way, he can't hang himself on a tree.

"Finally, it's about talent acquisition, no matter what project we do, we need talent. Liu Xiao paused, "As early as when I took over the soft alliance, I said that the soft alliance should be committed to improving the living environment of outstanding domestic network talents. In the past, we were powerless because we didn't have that much strength, but now it's different, we sold the business for three years at once, and all the profits for three years were in our hands, and we had enough financial resources to do this. ”

As soon as Shang Yue heard this, he put down the document in his hand and said, "I fully support it, we have the responsibility to do these things, this is the original purpose of the soft alliance when it was founded!", Shang Yue is the person who supports this plan the most, she doesn't want her sister's tragedy to happen again.

"I think this matter will be handed over to Shang Yue to be responsible!" Liu Xiao looked at Shang Yue with a smile, "Not only network security talents, as long as it is related to computers, as long as the other party is good enough, we can recruit them!"

Shang Yue nodded, then looked at Liu Xiao and said suspiciously, "Are you ready to enter other areas?"

Liu Xiao smiled, "It's hard to say, it depends on whether we can recruit talents, if we can recruit enough talents, then we can enter other aspects." ”

Shang Yue said "oh", Liu Xiao's words are actually equivalent to admitting that he has the intention of entering other computer industries.

"We want to recruit the best computer talents in China into our own enterprises, provide them with the best working environment, the best platform to play, and let them give full play to their potential!" Liu Xiao pointed to his own document, "I have written specific things in that document, everyone will circulate them to each other after they go back, and if they feel that there is anything inappropriate, they will discuss it in the next meeting!"

"Okay!" everyone nodded, and it seemed that today's meeting was probably over.

"One last thing!" Liu Xiao suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "I have reached an agreement with Boss Xiong to repurchase 8% of the equity from him, and I will take out another 8% of the equity myself, which will be distributed to every employee who has contributed to the soft alliance as part of the company's equity incentive." In addition, if any employee can make a great contribution to the company's future development, such as creating new technologies and providing new ideas, they can get a big reward from the company.

Everyone was stunned for a short time, and then became excited, everyone has been looking forward to this news for a long time, and now it is finally conclusive, 16% of the equity does not seem to be much, but you must know that the total assets of the soft alliance have reached 10 billion US dollars, that is, you will be given a share of 1/10,000, which is also the value of a millionaire. Everyone quickly stood up, and they didn't bother to say hello to Liu Xiao, they all wanted to tell the news to their employees first.

"Shang Yue!" Liu Xiao called Shang Yue, "You arrange the work for next week in advance, and we will go to Fengming next Wednesday!"

"What's the matter?" Shang Yue was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that the matter of building a building there has not yet been decided?"

"That's not it!" Liu Xiao shook his head with a smile, "Lao Qian's family has a family temple in Fengming, and they just found it some time ago, and they are going to do a Dafa event next week, and he invited us to go over together." ”

"This ......" Shang Yue didn't seem interested in this, and hesitated a little.

"Old Qian has spoken, it's not a refusal, you go and prepare, you must go!" Liu Xiao smiled.

"Okay then!" Shang Yue nodded, "I'll arrange the work in hand first!"

The business director is very busy these days, and the daily activities are full, all of them invite him to dinner, and they are the best restaurants, and he complains when he comes back, saying that he is on fire, but as long as there is a meal, he immediately runs away again. Fortunately, his meal yielded results, and in the next few days, the soft alliance signed agreements with those companies, and all other markets outside Europe were sold, only the United States believed that it was the big brother of the Internet, and refused to use other people's products, and they did not place orders with any enterprises, so no one dared to buy them in the American market.

If the unlucky people in this incident, it is estimated that it is not the turn of these companies, they have increased some costs at most, but there will still be profits after all, the most unlucky should be those experts and scholars who fired at the beginning of the soft alliance, the soft alliance has been rolling more than 20 billion US dollars in the past few days, which has fully proved that the strategic level of the soft alliance is not only an outdated technology and pseudoscience, but a world's most advanced security technology, with a very large market.

The words of those experts were pulled out at this time, it seemed very vicious, and ill-intentioned, and while the domestic media envied and pursued the birth of a real star enterprise, they did not forget to question those experts and scholars, questioning their sinister intentions in making those remarks before. Some straightforward media even imitated the tone of the Cultural Revolution before those experts and scholars, and directly condemned them as "national scum" and "traitors".

Liu Xiao knows very well that among these experts and scholars, a few of them are gunmen invited by Hua Wei, but he doesn't sympathize with these people at all, and they can easily give up their principled positions for a few dollars, and people who talk nonsense are not worthy of sympathy at all, what Liu Xiao wants is this effect, he just wants to warn those bullshit experts who have no principled position, before opening their mouths to spray feces, weigh the consequences first, and see if these dung stars will splash on themselves. Liu Xiao also avenged those companies that had been planted in the mouths of these bullshit experts before.
