FSK quietly withdrew from the bidding for shares, and did not attract the attention of several other opponents, who learned of this and thought that the reason why FSK would withdraw from the bidding was that the highest price they could offer was 3 billion, and beyond this price, they believed that they had lost the need for value investment.

Several other opponents not only "understood" FSK's "bitterness", but after FSK withdrew, they stepped up the pace of bidding, and within two days, the price of Boss Xiong's equity finally rose to the $4 billion promised by Liu Xiao at that time, and it seems that there is still room for further appreciation. Feng Ming and Haicheng also withdrew from the bidding at this time, they couldn't come up with this price at all, and there was no need to consume it any longer, and the domestic competitors were left with the Ministry of Industry.

From 400 million yuan to 4 billion US dollars, in just over half a year, the appreciation has increased by 70 times, this speed is as Liu Xiao said, no one has ever done it, even stock market futures speculation, and it cannot reach such a fast appreciation rate. The value of the forty percent of the shares of the soft alliance in the hands of Boss Xiong has almost equaled the total market value of his entire Chenhan Group, and his worth has doubled in an instant, rushing to the position of the richest man in China in one fell swoop.

Stimulated by this crazy appreciation, many domestic and foreign consortia flocked to Feng Ming collectively, they all knew that Boss Xiong's next investment was in Feng Ming, and they also hoped that they could follow Boss Xiong's ass to catch up with the next wave of appreciation frenzy. A lot of construction projects were added overnight, and for a while, the road to Fengming was occupied by all kinds of large trucks and construction equipment.

In two days, John settled an account, that is, if the price Liu Xiao said to acquire strategic products in the European market, how big is FSK's profit, and whether it can recover the capital, FSK will definitely not use the brand of SoftAlliance, they will let SoftAlliance OEM create a strategic brand of their own. It is not difficult to set up a production line for assembly line processing, FSK has ready-made ones, but if all the costs are taken into account, FSK can only operate with small profits within a year, which has never been in the history of FSK before, and FSK has invested in projects in the past, and the profits are at least doubled.

John touched his nose, not knowing how to report this matter to the headquarters, the headquarters will definitely not be able to agree to this, but if it drags on, then it can only pay a breach of contract fee to the zf that has placed an order, but the problem is that those zf will order strategic products from others later, FSK is likely to lose these customers, and FSK has never had this kind of unfulfilled order before.

John thought about it and felt that he should still cooperate with the soft alliance, and after making a choice, he connected the link to the headquarters and directly found the blonde foreigner.

The big screen on the wall soon appeared the figure of the blonde foreigner, who was sitting at his desk at this time, and when he saw John, he asked, "How is the cooperation with the soft alliance going?"

"Not going well!" John touched his nose, "and as expected, they started to raise prices. ”

"This was expected a long time ago, if there was no blood, how could they give up!" The blonde foreigner had long thought that this would be the case, so there was no big surprise.

"There is also an old saying in China, 'break the wealth and eliminate the disaster', but this time the price they opened was too high, and they asked for 80 billion. John touched his nose involuntarily, and then said: "I have already calculated, the total value of those orders placed by ZF for us is 10 billion, and the average price is 60,000 US dollars per set of products, but if we agree to this price of SoftAlliance, the cost of each set of products we manufacture will reach about 55,000 US dollars." ”

"Say your conclusion!" the blonde foreigner was not very interested in the numbers.

"That is to say, after we finish this big order of 10 billion, we may not be able to recover the cost!" John frowned, the list of 10 billion US dollars can be described as a super big list, such a big list, I can't even make a dime, I'm afraid it's a big joke to say, "If we want to make a profit, we must at least achieve more than 12 billion, and the excess part is the profit!"

The blonde foreigner also frowned, when it comes to profits, it must be able to make profits, this list of 10 billion is just the first phase of these ZF projects, and it will be added in the future, but to give 8 billion to the soft alliance for nothing, it really makes him very unwilling, why.

John saw that the blonde foreigner was displeased, and began to change the topic, "In the past two days, there has been no outbreak of the virus, right?"

"There was a virus crisis just now, but fortunately, there were experts from the soft alliance who pressed the formation, and it didn't cause any losses!" The blonde foreigner frowned, "It's just that a few other peers, I heard that their networks have collapsed, and now they have invited OTE experts to go over to put out the fire!", the blonde foreigner has a headache, these viruses can't be prevented, they come every two days, and no one can stand it!

was having a headache, John saw the blonde foreigner pick up the phone on the desk here, there should be a call coming in, and he saw the blonde foreigner listen to what was said on the phone, "uh-huh" twice, hung up the phone, and then turned to look at John, and said: "You go to contact the soft alliance again, just say that we are willing to add another 2 billion, so that they can sell the European market to us FSK alone, and not to the second one." ”

"Huh?" John was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with his boss.

"I just received a tip from Estonia that the Estonian ZF has finalized the details, and next week, they will introduce a law on cyber warfare to sanction hackers who attack Estonian networks. The blonde foreigner paused and sighed: "We have also received news that Russia is also drafting this law, and it may be passed in three months, as long as their law is established, other countries will have to make similar laws." But you and I both know that in order for this law not to become a dead letter, the premise is that there must be an extremely reliable defense system, which is the strategic system of the soft alliance, that is, at that time, the strategic market of the soft alliance will be completely opened. We FSK also has a rival in Europe, they have also won zf orders from several countries, once Estonia officially releases the news, they will definitely turn to buy the strategic market of the soft alliance, then there is competition, we want to win, the price will be higher. ”

"I see what you mean!" John touched his nose.

"You can do it now, and you must take over the entire European market before the market is fully opened!" the blonde foreigner looked at John, "We can't get it, and we can't let the opponent get it, understand?"

"I know!" John nodded, "I'll go now, I'll report back to you later!"

John put down the phone, and drove straight to the soft league, and when he saw Liu Xiao, Liu Xiao's first words were, "Mr. John, I guess you will come to me, come, please take a seat!"

John was not surprised, he was replaced by Liu Xiao, and at this time it was also FSK, and he sat down very depressed.

Liu Xiao went over to pour water for John, "I just received the news from Estonia, and I knew that Mr. John was about to arrive, you see, I even prepared coffee for you!"

These John changed his face, Estonia did not let out the wind, and FSK also got the news by relying on the insider, how could Liu Xiao know, how could he be sure that FSK would know the news, "What does Mr. Liu mean......"

"After the Estonian hacker crisis, we reached a cooperation agreement with the National Computer Response Center in Estonia, so we will all know the news over there!" Liu Xiao put the coffee in front of John, "Mr. John's speed is enough to show that you are a sharp-eyed person, and you can see at a glance that a business opportunity is coming." How about last time, have you already made a decision?"

John nodded, it turned out that this was the case, and said, "Our headquarters has agreed to the price you proposed!"

Liu Xiao laughed, "Congratulations, you made a wise decision!"

"However, our headquarters has new requirements!" John looked at Liu Xiao, "We will add another 2 billion to this cooperation, but you have to make a guarantee, the strategic market in Europe can only be operated exclusively by our FSK!"

Liu Xiao frowned, this was a bit unexpected to him, he didn't expect FSK's appetite to be so big, Liu Xiao had to come up with an idea immediately, in order to decide whether to make the European strategic market exclusively operated by FSK.

"I think it's good for both of us!" John looked at Liu Xiao and groaned, and stated the pros and cons on the side, "We have a very deep friendship with customers in Europe and various large orders, once Estonia announces the establishment of a law on cyber warfare, we will win these orders, Soft Alliance has technology and products, but if you want to win this market, I'm afraid you have to invest a lot, and time waits for no one, can you ensure that before you win the market, no one will surpass you?"

"Mr. John's words are very reasonable!" Liu Xiao bit his lip a few times, and finally slapped his thigh, "Okay, we promise, the strategic market in Europe will be exclusively operated by your FSK!"

"Then you think we can sign the contract when the time comes?" John was a little anxious, and the headquarters over there was still waiting for news from him.

"You can sign it at any time!" Liu Xiao spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "It's up to you to decide!"

When John heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "In this case, I will contact the headquarters now and report this matter, if the headquarters has no objection, I think the contract will be signed today!"

"Okay, we don't have any objections here!" Liu Xiao smiled.

"Then I'll take my leave!" John hurriedly stood up, "I'll contact Mr. Liu later!"

"Okay, I'll send you!" Liu Xiao sent John into the elevator again, and then stood there and smirked, 10 billion, he wanted to make 8 billion, 8 billion He originally thought that the other party would not agree, but he didn't expect FSK to give himself an extra 2 billion, which really made Liu Xiao overjoyed, and his fortune couldn't stop it.

This business Soft Alliance will definitely not lose, because Soft Alliance has not paid anything at all, has not set up any offices and sales points overseas, and has not hired any staff, the cost can be said to be zero, even if he only sells for one dollar, but as long as the strategic products of Soft Alliance can cover all markets, then Soft Alliance also earns. Besides, no security product can be ahead of three years, and SoftAlliance sells it for three years, which is to make three years of money in advance, and it is impossible to lose money.

FSK thinks it's a good thing that it dominates the European market, but Liu Xiao doesn't think so, he thinks that FSK bought a bomb and took it back to the nest. FSK's offensive and defensive alliance, there are also a few European, they have spent so much effort with FSK in front, if they don't get any benefits in the end, then they definitely can't agree, FSK is looking for enemies for themselves.

Liu Xiao was very happy, extremely happy, he clenched his fists excitedly, turned around and walked into the company, ran to inform the departments, and quickly prepared the pokes.

John reported the matter to the headquarters, then drafted the contract, and when he rushed to the soft alliance again, the scene in front of him frightened him, the conference room of the soft alliance was full, all of them were acquaintances, all of them were the heads of his peers in China, and Liu Xiao was accompanying these people inside at this time.

When a group of people saw John, they got up and greeted, "John, you're here too, but it's a pity you're late!"

John laughed embarrassedly twice, stood there, didn't know what to do, these people obviously came together after discussion, FSK didn't discuss with them this time, and privately discussed the cooperation with the soft alliance first, if you let them know, I'm afraid it's not good, he looked at Liu Xiao, but saw that Liu Xiao didn't have any expression, just greeted John politely, and didn't say anything special, which made John feel a lot more relieved.

"I thought I was the first to get the news, but I didn't expect everyone to be better informed than I was!" John laughed a few times and sat down with the group.

"Since everyone is here, let's discuss it collectively and see what to do about it!" one of them began, "You can't sit like this!"

When Liu Xiao heard this, he stood up, "It is our honor for the soft alliance to have so many super companies willing to cooperate with our soft alliance, but I think it's better not to hurt the harmony, since you all knew each other before, that's a friend, I think I'd better avoid it, and you guys will discuss it first." Hehe. After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room and closed the door by the way.

John originally thought that these people had come together after discussion, but now when he heard it, he knew that they also happened to meet together, so he was relieved a lot, and as soon as Liu Xiao left, he first said: "Then let me explain the situation on my side first, I don't care which market you want to win, but this piece of Europe must be our FSK!"

"Why!" several immediately objected, "none of our companies is weaker than your FSK!"

"Everyone!" John touched his nose and leaned back in his chair, "We FSK have withdrawn from the equity bidding before, and we have already made a big concession by giving you the opportunity to bid, you ask yourself, if we FSK participates, what are the chances of winning if you want to win the equity of the soft alliance?", John snorted and did not speak.

"Then we can give up the bidding for equity now, and compete with the Ministry of Information Industry of China for the equity of the soft alliance, and let you FSK do it, how about this?"

"No way!" John slapped the table, "We have already received tens of billions of orders, why should we give it to you!"

"Do you FSK have any orders in hand?" Several other people were also disdainful, and they also received a lot of orders in advance, so no one would let anyone at this time.

"Then the old rules!" a person who had not spoken on the side spoke, "Everyone demarcates their own territory, and then discusses the disputed places in detail, we have cooperated many times before, and they are very pleasant, I don't think there is any need to make trouble like this this time!"

They didn't speak, they sat there pondering. In the end, it was John who expressed his attitude first and said, "Okay, I agree, everyone can make money, so as not to hurt the harmony." John is really insidious, he has already reached an agreement with the soft alliance, but at this time he jumped out to be a good person, even if someone breaks the unspoken rules in the future, no one can suspect him.

Several other people still didn't respond, and the person who proposed it before felt very helpless, so he said: "If everyone thinks it won't work, then they have to rely on their own abilities, whoever gives the soft alliance more money, who will do the market, but in this way, we fight back and forth, and in the end, it is cheaper for the soft alliance." But no matter what, there is one thing that everyone must figure out, there will be opportunities to make money in the future, no matter who gets this market in the end, others must hand over the market in their hands, and they must not secretly play tricks!"

John also spread his hands, "Anyway, the cake is just a piece, the problem now is that everyone has the strength to eat it, I see that you guys are happy, hurry up and get an idea, either everyone makes do with it, or everyone depends on their ability, how much you can eat depends on how capable you are!"

No one in the conference room spoke, they were all thinking about what to do, they were not the big shopkeepers, and when they came to the soft alliance, they also had orders from the headquarters, and they couldn't change easily.

Liu Xiao sat outside the conference room, he didn't have to guess, he knew what the scene was inside, his heart was really happy, and his mouth never closed, "Whatever you want to discuss, even if you discuss it, Lao Tzu will sign the FSK agreement first, and you have to change it." Liu Xiao was so happy that he pinched his thighs, so he didn't let himself laugh, these guys used to work together to deal with the soft alliance, Lao Tzu will give you a counter-plan this time, so that you can't get the soft alliance products in your heart, and if you get it, it's even more uncomfortable, Lao Tzu wants to make you never happy in the future, and you can't be comfortable.

Just as he was happy, Liu Xiao's hand rang, he hurriedly took it out to take a look, and found that it was Zhang Xiaohua's phone, so he quickly pressed the answer, "Xiaohua, what's the matter?"

"Liu Xiao, it's me, Qian Wanneng!" came from Qian Wanneng's smiling voice on the phone.

"Oh, it's old money, are you Fengming now?" Liu Xiao hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I just arrived in Fengming, and I'm with Xiaohua. Qian Wanneng smiled, "I have something to inform you, the name change of the Star Temple has been decided, and the road over there has been completed, I have invited twenty monks from all over the world to come and do a big Dharma ceremony, which is initially scheduled to be held next Wednesday, and then my wife will also come, and you will have to come too!"

"It must be!" Liu Xiao hurriedly responded, "I must be present at this matter, then I will congratulate you on the phone first!"

"Don't say anything polite, just show me on time!" Qian Wanneng smiled, "By the way, I forgot the name of the director of the technical department of your company, it was the lady at the black hat conference, you also brought it." ”

"Huh?" Liu Xiao was a little puzzled, what was the merchant doing.

"It's my wife who wants to meet her!" Qian Wanneng explained, "Remember, you must bring it!"

"Okay, good!" Liu Xiao responded, "Don't worry, you must bring it." Lao Qian said that his wife had seen the Black Hat Conference, so he sent him to talk about cooperation with the Soft Alliance, this is the only thing that can be related to the relationship between the two, could it be that Lao Qian's wife saw Shang Yue's performance at that time, and some worship can't be?

"That's it, I'm hanging!" Old Qian smiled, "Then I will wait for you with Xiaohua in Fengming!", after speaking, he hung up the phone.

Liu Xiao put away the phone sullenly, this old money is really fast, and he wanted to ask Zhang Xiaohua if he had anything to say, so he hung up directly.

Liu Xiao shook his head, put away the phone, and walked towards the conference room over there, estimating that the uncles should have discussed something.
