finally saw a glimmer of opportunity, Liu Xiao didn't want to miss it, "Then let's go our separate ways!", Liu Xiao said to Shang Yue, turned around and prepared to go out to arrange this.

As soon as I walked to the door, the reception MM knocked on the door again and came in, "Mr. Liu, someone is looking for you again!"

"Who is looking for me?" Liu Xiao asked, secretly saying in his heart that today is really evil, he is just saying that the people who are looking for him are endless.

"They didn't say it, they just said it was your old friend!" replied the reception MM.

"Then you arrange for them to wait in the conference room for a while, and say I'll be there in a few minutes!" Liu Xiao said and went out, how can there be time to meet guests at this time, since they are old friends, it is estimated that there is nothing important, let him wait a little longer. Liu Xiao entered the laboratory, tinkered in for about ten minutes, and then went to the hardware firewall development team over there with a stack of files.

"Let's put down the work at hand and go to the activity room for a meeting!" Liu Xiao clapped his hands and shouted to everyone.

So the whole group put down the work at hand and followed Liu Xiao into the activity room, which used to be a small office area that everyone in the soft alliance envied, but now it has been changed to an independent staff activity room.

"Let's find a place to sit by ourselves, I'll tell you one thing!" Liu Xiao smiled and watched everyone sit down, and then said: "In the past month, our software project of the soft alliance has been doing well, and the personal version of the security system has only been launched for a month, and it has already occupied half of the share of the personal security market. In contrast, our hardware products are a little inferior, which has many reasons, mainly because we have just gotten out of the previous customer attack incident, and the other is that the company has cut ninety percent of the hardware projects, so that the share of hardware products in the company's profits has been reduced. ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard Liu Xiao say, and when they heard it, they were a little frustrated, indeed, the people in the software project team have been very good in the company recently, and they have enough confidence to speak.

"Don't be discouraged, listen to me!" Liu Xiao paced two steps with a smile, "The reason why the company has cut off ninety percent of the hardware projects is not that it does not pay attention to hardware projects, on the contrary, the company's attention to hardware is higher than before, and the company's purpose is to make high-quality products and take the high-end route." Hardware security products are highly efficient, and will not affect the operation of servers and networks, and structurally, set up a hardware security environment, which is more in line with the needs of security, which are incomparable advantages of software security products. The most important point is that hardware products are the fist products of our soft alliance, and they are the foundation of our soft alliance, this position has never changed, it was before, it is now, and it will still be in the future!"

"Mr. Liu!" an employee at the bottom raised his hand.

"You say!" Liu Xiao looked at him with a smile.

The employee scratched his head: "Mr. Liu, the software side has been doing so well recently, in fact, we are also very anxious, and we are all thinking about making a breakthrough in the security level of our hardware products." But on the software product side, they have the company's most advanced policy-level security engine as the core, and we are not working hard, but we really can't think of a way to surpass the policy-level security engine. ”

"That's right!" everyone agreed, "If the company can hand over the policy-level security engine to us, we will definitely do a better job than the software side, we are all raised by our parents, who is worse than who!"

"Okay, I'm relieved to have this sentence!" Liu Xiao waved his hand, motioned for everyone to shut up, and then said: "I'm here today for this matter, you see what this is?" Liu Xiao held up the stack of files in his hand, "This is the interface standard and call function table of the policy-level security engine!" The company decided to use this security engine in the development of our hardware products!"

"No!" The person who was closer to Liu Xiao snatched the document from it, and then flipped it over, "Great, great! With this thing, what are we afraid of, when we talk in the company in the future, we are also full of energy!"

Liu Xiao laughed twice, "The reason why this thing is only handed over to you now is that everyone was busy cleaning up the mess with customers before, and there were not all the people, and there was no energy to develop new hardware products; ”

The person in charge of the hardware project team stood up, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, we will never let you down, our hardware products will still be the pillars of the company!"

"Yes!" the others shouted, probably because the people in the software project team had their nostrils facing all day, and everyone was holding their breath too much.

"One more thing!" Liu Xiao saw that everyone was very interested, so he said: "Tomorrow, I will officially join our hardware group, and the development and design of this new product will be done by me and everyone!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then applauded and welcomed, "Great!", it seems that the company's position has not changed, and this hardware product is still the mainstay of the soft alliance.

"Okay, let's stop applauding!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Today, everyone will put down the work in their hands first, familiarize themselves with these functions and interface standards, and tomorrow we will officially start working, and whoever doesn't know at that time will be responsible for serving tea and pouring water for everyone!"

"Don't worry!" the crowd laughed.

"Then everyone is busy! I'll meet a customer!" Liu Xiao finished speaking, walked out of the activity room, and went straight to the conference room on the other side.

Pushing the door in, Liu Xiao was a little surprised, sitting inside was Gu Zhendong of Huawei, next to him was Jing Cheng, Liu Xiao didn't expect that these two people would come to him, especially Gu Zhendong, he could come to the soft alliance in person, it is estimated that no one would have thought of it.

Liu Xiao hurriedly went over and stretched out his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know if it was your two seniors who came over and made you wait for a long time, it's really a sin!"

"You're welcome!" Gu Zhendong smiled, "We are here uninvited today, and we have some trouble, and I want to ask for your forgiveness!"

Jing Cheng smiled: "We didn't affect your work!"

"How could it be!" Liu Xiao smiled and beckoned the two of them to sit down quickly, and then ran out and called someone to make some good tea in the conference room.

"You're too polite!" Gu Zhendong smiled when he saw Liu Xiao turn around and come back.

"Gu is always a tea connoisseur, my tea here is definitely not as good as yours, but I can't treat the distinguished guests slowly!" Liu Xiao smiled and sat down, "Last time I was treated by President Gu in Lei City, I always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, so you can stay in Haicheng for two more days this time, so that I can also fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

"It seems that I can't give you this opportunity!" Gu Zhendong smiled, "Okay, then we'll bother today!"

Liu Xiao smiled: "You two came to Haicheng this time, are you going to relax, or do you have any big business to do?"

"What's any big business!" Gu Zhendong waved his hand, "We came specifically to find you this time!"

"Looking for me?" Liu Xiao smiled and pointed at himself, "Then if there is anything that needs my service, please just ask!"

Gu Zhendong gave Jing Cheng a look, and saw Jing Cheng cough twice, and said with a smile: "The security software recently launched by your soft alliance is very good, and in just one month, the market has been completely messed up by you, although there are few people making money in the domestic personal security market, but we can't ignore the potential benefits of this market in the future." The first time you attacked this market, you won half of the country with this software, which is really amazing, which makes me admire it, but also a little ashamed!"

"What did Senior Jing say!" Liu Xiao waved his hand, "The positioning of Huawei security business is different from our soft alliance, Huawei is mainly engaged in the security of the enterprise market, and in this market, our soft alliance is also willing to bow down." Besides, we also made a coincidence this time, and the reason why we were able to open the market so quickly was because of the previous media hype. ”

"The media hype is only one aspect, the key is that your technical advantages are there!" Jing Cheng shook his head, "When SoftAlliance was acquired by Chenhan, at the press conference, I heard you talk about this strategic level for the first time, and at that time I thought you were just secretly changing the concept in front of the media, but I didn't expect that you really made it." ”

"The future is terrifying!" Gu Zhendong also sighed.

"You two are here today, you won't come specifically to praise me!" Liu Xiao looked at the two of them with a smile, "I just made some achievements, you just praise me like this, be careful to hold me too high, if I fall in the future, I will definitely have to trouble you two." ”

"Haha!" Gu Zhendong waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about politeness, let's get straight to the point!" Gu Zhendong looked at Liu Xiao, "We are here this time for your strategic-level security engine!"

Jing Cheng was afraid that Liu Xiao would misunderstand, and said: "Last time in Thunder City, you mentioned that you have encapsulated your strategy-level technology into a security engine, and you intend to promote this security engine, and we are here for this purpose this time." ”

"Oh, I see!" Liu Xiao smiled and nodded, "You want to take the right to use our security engine!"

"Yes, that's right!" Gu Zhendong looked at Liu Xiao, "How about it, do you think there is any problem in handing over this security engine to us Huawei to develop?"

"There is no problem!" Liu Xiao shook his head, "If the world's security agencies can use our security engine for development, then it will be too late for our soft alliance to be happy, then we can protect the harvest from drought and flood!"

"That being said, there are only two of us who have strength in China, you are not afraid of ......" Gu Zhendong looked at Liu Xiao with a smile.

"Hehe!" Liu Xiao smiled, Gu Zhendong is really an old Jianghu, this sentence seems to be for the sake of the soft alliance, but in fact, it is provoking the general, as long as you dare to say that you are not afraid, then there is no way back in this matter, "To tell the truth, the first news I heard after taking charge of the soft alliance was that Huawei was also going to enter the domestic security market, at that time, it was not only me who was afraid, but also the investor Chen Han was also very afraid, but now the two of us are not sitting here and drinking tea in harmony? ”

When Gu Zhendong heard this, he laughed, "I didn't expect this, I was ambitious at that time, and I thought that the domestic market was at my fingertips." Liu Xiao told the truth, and Gu Zhendong was not easy to handle, "At that time, I didn't want to drink tea with my own competition, I wanted to let them have no tea." ”

"Later, I figured it out, I'm afraid it's useless, I'm just trying to find an excuse for my future failures. I, Liu Xiao, just want to do something that I think I should do, as long as I dare to persist in doing it, it is a victory in itself, and it doesn't matter if I succeed or not!" Liu Xiao sighed.

"What you say really makes me ashamed!" Gu Zhendong sighed, "I have been in the business world for most of my life, and now I only have money in my eyes, staring at money all day long, but my knowledge is not as good as yours." I have now figured out that the security market is not a market that can be monopolized, there will be progress when there is competition, and security technology is a never-ending thing. If there is only one company left in the market that is doing security, it is actually killing the market, because it doesn't matter whether people need security or not. ”

"Mr. Gu seems to have been studying this market all along, and he has put a lot of thought into it, and many people have been doing safety all their lives, and they may not be able to figure this out in the end!" Liu Xiao said.

"Alas, I have to think about it! You are so right, our Huawei stall is too big this time, and now there is no way to retreat if we want to, so we can only go forward!" Gu Zhendong smiled helplessly.

"By the way, your strategic-level products will soon be released in the enterprise version and professional version, right?" Jing Cheng asked.

"Today's meeting has just been decided, and it will be officially launched tomorrow, and these two versions will be charged!" Liu Xiao also smiled helplessly, "If it continues to be so free, we have to wait for the closure and start recovering costs." ”

Jingcheng and both of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect it to be so coincidental, the reason why the two came in a hurry was that they saw the strong appeal of strategic-level products in the domestic market, which was simply a guarantee of popularity and income, and secondly, they were afraid that after the launch of the enterprise version and the professional version of the soft alliance, it would have an impact on Huawei's market, but they didn't expect it to be too late.

Gu Zhendong frowned, and said: "Then look at what we just said......", it seems that it is inevitable to be affected temporarily, and when it comes to this, we can only take down the right to use this security engine first, otherwise Huawei will be like those domestic security vendors who do personal markets, so that the soft alliance will be washed down in an instant.

"I will discuss with the other people in charge of the company as soon as possible, there should be no problem, the promotion of the safety engine is a plan we have made a long time ago!" Liu Xiao nodded as soon as he pondered.

"That's great!" Gu Zhendong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "If it happens, then we can drink tea so kindly at any time in the future!"

"Hehe!" Liu Xiao smiled, "However, we have a concern!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Gu Zhendong stretched out his hand and motioned for Liu Xiao to say casually.

"There is no problem at all with the right to use our security engine granted to Huawei, but Huawei's security business is in cooperation with Syman Iron Shell, and you are all mixed up, and we are worried that Syman Iron Shell will take the opportunity to use our security engine to develop security products in overseas markets. As you know, we've had some friction with these offshore security agencies recently, and we don't have any intention of delegating them to any offshore security agencies for the time being. ”

"There is absolutely no problem with this!" Gu Zhendong had long expected Liu Xiao to say this, "If you are not at ease, then directly authorize us Huawei headquarters, so that Simon Iron Shell will have no reason to contact your security engine, what do you think?"

"That's the best!" Liu Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at my cautious eyes, it's really that I am very disgusted with these overseas security agencies now, secretly plotting against our soft alliance, if we don't let them learn some lessons this time, our soft alliance will definitely not be finished!"

"It's not a gentleman to take revenge!" Gu Zhendong smiled, "We can all understand, if it were me, I wouldn't tolerate them being so bullied!"

"Hehe!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Then let's settle this matter first, once the company passes, I will hand over the relevant standards of the safety engine to you." ”

"I hope that we can join hands in the future to jointly make the cause of national security bigger and stronger!" Gu Zhendong said with a smile.

Liu Xiao looked at the time, and thought about the things he could arrange today, so he said: "Our Mr. Xiong of Chenhan has always been full of praise and admiration for Mr. Gu. In this way, I will now inform Mr. Xiong, first, to consult his opinion on our cooperation, and second, to let the two of you in the business community have a good explanation. ”

"Cough!" Gu Zhendong waved his hand, "Where is this, we came to Haicheng, we should visit Mr. Xiong, what else do you know, you just lead us over!"

"This ......" Liu Xiao thought for a while and said, "That's okay, if he has no opinion at that time, I think this matter can be settled!"

"Without further ado, let's go over now!" Gu Zhendong is really a little anxious, this tomorrow the soft alliance will launch the enterprise version and the professional version, so hurry up if you can on your side!

"Okay, I'll call him to confirm, lest we run in vain!" Liu Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed Boss Xiong, who was very happy when he heard that Gu Zhendong was coming over, so he asked Liu Xiao and them to come over quickly.

Liu Xiao led Gu Zhendong and the others straight to Chenhan Building, Boss Xiong waited in front of the hall downstairs, saw Liu Xiao's car coming, took two steps forward, walked to the car, and opened the car door with a smile on his face, "Brother Zhendong, I can look forward to you!"

"Brother Hanqing, I'm bothering you!" As soon as Gu Zhendong got out of the car, he shook hands tightly with Gu Zhendong, both of them had sympathetic expressions on their faces, and it seemed that they had been friends for a long time.

"Brother Zhendong is here to visit Chenhan today, Chenhan is really brilliant!" Boss Xiong still refused to let go, "I have long known that Brother Zhendong's business in Leicheng is big, and Huawei under your hand is a world-renowned brand, Brother Fool should have gone over to visit you, but today I asked you to come to see me, I am really ashamed!"

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this!" Gu Zhendong smiled, "Your Chenhan Group is also well-known, I have long heard many people mention your name as the No. 1 Confucian merchant in Haicheng, and when I look at it today, it is really a good atmosphere!"

"Come, please come inside!" Boss Xiong turned around and saw Jing Cheng, which he had already seen, so he said, "Mr. Jing, please come in too!"

The group entered Boss Xiong's office, the secretary just made the tea, and Boss Xiong personally poured a cup for Gu Zhendong, "I heard Liu Xiao say that you are an expert in tea drinking, so as soon as I learned that you were coming, I prepared good tea, you come to taste the freshly brewed tea and see how it tastes!"

"Sorry to worry about!" Gu Zhendong took it politely, then blew a breath, took a sip, tasted it, and said, "Excellent, this is the most authentic and superb red robe!"

"Connoisseur! Connoisseur!" Boss Xiong smiled, "It seems that Liu Xiao didn't deceive me, today I met a fellow practitioner! Last time, you asked Liu Xiao to bring me the best tea from Leicheng, and I also tasted it, and I have its own merits with this superb red robe." ”

As soon as Gu Zhendong heard it, he knew that Liu Xiao was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and gave tea to Boss Xiong, and he didn't say anything at the moment, and said: "I knew you liked to drink, so I should bring some more when I came this time." ”

"It's enough, it's enough, and if you can't drink more, it's a waste!" Boss Xiong smiled and excused himself.

"I heard that Brother Xiong is going to invest in Fengming recently, what's going on?" Gu Zhendong asked, it seems that he has heard about all the domestic dynamics, but he doesn't know it very well.

"Well, yes, Feng Ming is going to build a high-tech development zone over there, the prospects are good, I and Feng Ming's Zhang Group jointly set up a company over there, and took over some infrastructure projects, no, I have only been back to Haicheng for two or three days, and I have to go over there in a few days!" Boss Xiong smiled.

"Brother Xiong's vision has always been very accurate, it seems that he is going to make a lot of money this time!" Gu Zhendong continued to sip tea.

"If I change to other projects, I will definitely be humble, but in the development zone of Fengming, I want to persuade Brother Zhendong, if you have the opportunity, you should really go over there to have a look, the prospects are very good, you can invest some money there, and you will definitely make money in the future!"

"If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go over, I can not believe what others say, I absolutely believe what Brother Han Qing said!" Gu Zhendong nodded with a smile.

"By the way, what's going on over there now?" Liu Xiao was curious, so he asked casually.

"The situation is very good!" Boss Xiong stood up with a smile, walked to the desk and took out a list, and handed it to Liu Xiao, "This is the list of enterprises that have been determined to invest! In fact, there are still a lot to come, but this time the Fengming review is very strict, and if there is a slight non-conformity, they cannot be stationed, such as pollution, radiation, low efficiency, and even poor management and insufficient own funds. Now there are too many companies that require to be stationed, and the deposit must be remitted first before they can be considered to be able to queue up, and the verbal statement is not counted at all. ”

"No!" Liu Xiao flipped through the list of those companies, many of them were the companies that participated in the groundbreaking ceremony last time, and each of them had great backgrounds, so he was a little puzzled, and said: "It's only been a month, how can it change so much!"
