When Liu Xiao returned to the company, the whole company was there to welcome him, even the security guards and cleaners of the building came to join in the fun, and other companies in the building also sent people to congratulate him, and the scene was really not inferior to the airport.

finally dealt with these people, and Liu Xiao and several directors of the company entered the conference room.

Liu Xiao looked at everyone with a smile, "Not dishonoring the mission, this trip to Estonia was a complete success, opening an opening for our products to attack foreign markets, and the next thing is that we have already arranged, through media reports, completely clear the public opinion obstacles for us to seize foreign markets." ”

At that time, Liu Xiao asked everyone to be impatient, endure for the time being, and then wait for the opportunity to attack the foreign market, everyone has no opinion, but after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be doubts in their hearts, thinking that Liu Xiao has forgotten about this matter, or has no intention of attacking the overseas market at all. Now that the good news is coming, everyone is convinced, Liu Xiao is a master, this strategy of suppressing public opinion from a high place to a low place, only a moment of effort, let those public opinion barriers set up by European and American security agencies collapse.

At the beginning, how did the soft alliance really compete with those European and American institutions for a moment of rape and hastily attack the overseas market, at this time, it must have been drowned by the spit of the mouthpiece arranged by those institutions.

"I've been in the soft league for so long, and these two days are the happiest for me. The director of the finance department smiled, "There are tens of millions of dollars more in the account in an instant, what does it feel like?

Liu Xiaoyile, "Estonia sent the money?"

"It's called!" the head of the finance department nodded, "It has been shown on the books, but it can't be moved yet, maybe the bank is still confirming and investigating, I believe it will be able to move soon!"

"Great!" Liu Xiao stood up with a smile and said: "Recently, our soft alliance has developed really well, and all the employees are very hard, but before we have been financially only in and out, and we owe you a lot of bonuses, and we can't do it, and when the money does arrive, we will immediately give everyone a bonus, and we will send US dollars!"

Everyone in the conference room laughed, and the bonus was given in US dollars, which was the first time for the soft alliance. The director of the finance department nodded with a smile, "Okay, no problem, I'll take care of this matter!", after speaking, he looked back at the director of the personnel department, "Let's go back and meet, you give me the employee's performance appraisal!"

"That's right!" Liu Xiao remembered for a moment, "When the bonus is issued, the people in the hardware group will give each person one dollar more than the software group!"

"Ahh

"Hardware products used to be the main business of the soft alliance, but some time ago, our software in the country was very impressive, the hardware group was very unconvinced, it is estimated that they were holding back a little anger, and now they have finally turned over, let them be happy!" Liu Xiao smiled hehehe, "One dollar, say too much, say less is also money, let's send an extra dollar, one is to make the hardware group happy, and the other is not to hurt the harmony within the company." This is also to tell everyone that the company treats soft and hard equally, and this dollar is just a symbol, so that everyone can enjoy it!"

Everyone didn't expect Liu Xiao to think about it like this, and they all nodded at the moment, "This method is good, one dollar, it is harmless, and it can also promote the formation of a competition mechanism between employees, just do as you say!"

"Hehe, don't patronize the money!" The director of the business department patted the table, with an anxious face, "Send the goods ordered from Estonia to others first, and the people can urge me!"

When everyone heard this, they laughed.

Liu Xiao laughed so hard that his stomach hurt a little, the performance of the director of the business department was really funny, he sat down again, "Yes, that's right, this is our first business to attack the overseas market, we must do it well, how are the Estonian products doing now?"

Shang Yue immediately replied: "The goods are all ready, mainly because our products are in a hurry this time, and the relevant supporting manuals and other additional items will not be able to be made for a while, but you can rest assured, now the development team is already in a hurry, and we will definitely send the goods to the Estonian embassy tomorrow morning at the latest, and then they will transfer them over." ”

"That's good!" Liu Xiao smiled, this time the product was really in a hurry, when he took the product to Estonia, it was only a sample that had just been made, and there were no manuals, operation help, etc., and it could not be regarded as a qualified product, "Then let's talk about which direction the company should develop next!"

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Liu Xiao said: "Then let me first state my opinion, I think that our current priority is to take advantage of this shareholder wind to quickly promote our strategic products to the world, if we get the leadership of the security market, then our future life will be much better." As for how to launch our products, I have discussed some methods before, and I will summarize them now in two points: first, to establish a set of agent sales network in the world, and second, to promote the strategic security engine, so that our strategic level has become a new standard in the security industry. The first point, we have already handed it over to Mr. Qian to do, everyone should be able to rest assured of his strength, this trip to Estonia, without his help, our soft alliance would not have been able to succeed so easily. As for the second point, I have previously proposed to cooperate with Huawei and license our security engine to Huawei to develop security products. ”

These have been discussed before, and the cooperation with Huawei, several directors of the company except Shang Yue, the others have voted against, at that time Liu Xiao devoted himself to the development of the firewall, to see that he could not convince everyone for a while, so he had to give up for the time being, and now it is just a rehash of the old thing.

The head of the business department said: "Mr. Liu, I think it's better not to choose Huawei, we can support some small enterprises, so that it will not pose any threat to us, Huawei will cause us too much pressure, once Huawei becomes bigger in the security market, we will be very passive in the future!"

Several other directors also nodded their heads.

Shang Yue's opinion has not changed, "If even Huawei is afraid, then what else are we talking about attacking foreign markets?", Shang Yue looked at everyone, "My opinion, if you want to authorize, you must authorize the security engine to powerful large enterprises, even if small enterprises get our security engine, they can't develop decent products, and in the end they will only smash our strategic signboard." Besides, relying only on the strength of our soft alliance, it is unrealistic to completely reverse the current security pattern, and we can only suffer in the end. I agree with Mr. Liu's opinion that there is a company like Huawei that maintains a kind of pressure on our soft alliance, which can also prompt us to continue to make progress, and if we develop too fast, it is easy for us to get lost. ”

Others immediately retorted, "Then we can also find a company with comparable strength to cooperate, everyone stands at the same starting line to compete, which can be regarded as the need for healthy competition in the market!"

Liu Xiao saw that they couldn't come up with a result, so he interrupted their debate and said with a smile: "Okay, let's listen to my thoughts first!" Liu Xiao paused, and said: "Before I talk about my thoughts, I want to say another thing, just now I have talked to the director of the business department on the way back to the company, and I decided to hand over the hardware part of our hardware firewall to Huawei to do!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present blew up, and it was no longer acceptable to authorize the security engine to Huawei, and now they are ready to hand over the hardware of the hardware firewall to Huawei to do, isn't this helping Huawei make money?

"I resolutely can't agree with this!" Several people immediately stood up and objected, their faces turned red, "In the past, the hardware part of our hardware firewall was made by ourselves, although the hardware firewall started with hardware, in fact, the most important thing is the program part, the hardware itself has no technical content at all, and the profit is very large, we are fully competent." ”

"Don't worry about objecting first!" Liu Xiao laughed, "You have to let me say a few words first, it's not too late for you to oppose after speaking, it's all a discussion anyway!"

Only then did everyone realize that they were so anxious that they were out of shape just now, and they sat back one after another, "Mr. Liu, you say!"

"The reason why I chose to cooperate with Huawei is that in addition to the points that Shang Yue just said, there are some other reasons. Liu Xiao looked at everyone with a smile and raised a finger, "One, technology is not always leading, our strategic level is currently leading, but there are many technical geniuses in the world, if we can't quickly take advantage of our own leading advantage, as long as the new technology comes out, we will become obsolete." And choose the strong, stable market security enterprises to cooperate, they will help us in a very short period of time, the strategic core to promote to every corner of the world, so that even if there is more advanced technology in the future, we also have enough market capacity to buffer the pressure; We help Huawei win this market, in fact, it is also to help us win the operator-level market, we want to do a good job of products, such as soft and hard are excellent, can not make do; third, and most importantly, we need a loyal alliance and a reliable comrade-in-arms. Have you ever wondered why European and American companies can instantly huddle together and deal with our soft alliance together, and even domestic enterprises participate in it, while our soft alliance can only support it independently? Have you ever seen domestic enterprises join forces to deal with foreign enterprises?"

Everyone was silent, but this is rarely seen.

"In fact, I have been pondering this matter for a while now, and there is no shortage of technical geniuses in China, but there has never been a company that is well-known in the global security community, which is very puzzling to me. Liu Xiao shook his head, "I think on the one hand, we are not united, on the other hand, the opponent is too united, if we just want to be a first-class enterprise in China, then we can let go to deal with Huawei, everyone is either you die, or I live, but if we want to be world-class, we have to find a helper for ourselves, otherwise, as soon as you take a step outside, someone will tear you down behind your back, and you will never want to go out!" Whether it is Huawei eats us, or we defeat Huawei, in the end, it is our national enterprise that suffers!"

Shang Yue gritted his teeth and said: "We must be a world-class enterprise, otherwise, we will be despised wherever we go, and this was the case at the last Black Hat Conference." If China has world-class security companies, no matter who opposes it, as long as we are not there, they will not dare to bring the word 'world' to the meeting. The same is true of the Estonian incident this time, don't look at so many foreign media coming in the past two days, they are not here to cheer for the soft alliance, they are here to provoke thorns, and they are ready to watch the jokes of the soft alliance at any time. Shang Yue probably remembered the incident of the last black hat conference, the more she talked, the more excited she became, and she herself became more and more lively, no longer a weak woman who would blush when she first entered the soft alliance.

"Okay, good!" Liu Xiao hurriedly stopped Shang Yue's words, "Let's get back to the topic, I've said everything I should say, let's all take a stand, Hua Wei's matter has been delayed for a long time, I have to give someone an answer!"

"Let's still have the old rules, raise your hand in agreement!" After Shang Yue finished speaking, she was the first to raise her hand, she looked at everyone, "If you want to be a world-class enterprise, raise your hand." ”

Several other directors gritted their teeth and thought for a while, and finally raised their hands and let them out, no one was afraid of Huawei, and no matter how cowering they were, it was too unpleasant.

"Okay!" Liu Xiao slapped the table, this matter can be regarded as a clapper, it is decided, "This trip to Estonia has given me a lot of new ideas, but it is not mature, wait until I go back and think about it carefully, and then tell everyone after thinking clearly, today's meeting will be here, disperse!"

"Isn't it, Mr. Liu, do you have a new idea?" The head of the business department collapsed on the table, "How can you have so many ideas! As soon as you have an idea, I am afraid, and I have to be so busy that I hit the back of the head again!"

Everyone shook their heads with a smile, and the head of the finance department patted him on the shoulder, "The bonus will be paid later, do you want it?"

"Yes!" the head of the business department stood up immediately, "It's hard to send the next dollar, of course I want it!"

"Yes, you still talk so much nonsense! It seems that I need to suggest that the reward system be revised, and the bonus will be deducted if I complain in the future!" The director of the finance department raised his head proudly, followed Liu Xiao, and walked out of the conference room. The crowd laughed.

Liu Xiao returned to the office and called Boss Xiong and Qian Wanneng to report his return to China, who knew that the two of them were not in Haicheng, and went to Fengming together, Liu Xiao had to briefly say what had happened on the phone.

The next morning, Fang Guokun came to the Soft Alliance, and the reception MM at the door saw him for the first time, "Hello, are you looking for our President Liu?"

"He's in the company, right?" Fang Guokun asked.

"In the office, I'll help you go and make an announcement!" The reception MM was about to inform Liu Xiao.

"No need!" Fang Guokun raised his hand and smiled slightly, "I'll go find him myself!" After speaking, he stepped into the soft alliance, walked to the door of Liu Xiao's office and knocked a few times, and heard a voice from inside, "Please come in!"

When I went in, Liu Xiao was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand and looking at it fascinated, and he didn't bother to look up to see who came in, Fang Guokun was a little strange, and said with a smile: "What kind of book are you reading, so fascinated?"

As soon as Liu Xiao heard the voice, he quickly put down the book and stood up, and walked out with a look of surprise, "Why are you, please sit down, Mr. Fang!"

"What kind of book are you reading there?" Fang Guokun glanced at the book on the table.

"Just read it blindly!" Liu Xiao went over and picked up the book, "Oh, this is the book!"

"The Next World War?" Fang Guokun was a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly look at this book?"

"Have you read this book too?" Liu Xiao asked, then threw the book on the table again, and sat on the sofa with Fang Guokun over there.

Fang Guokun smiled, "The work of American military forecaster James Adams, I have turned a few pages before. How did you become interested in this?"

"Isn't this just coming back from Estonia!" Liu Xiao poured a glass of water for Fang Guokun, "I was deeply touched, so I found a book to read!"

"What do you feel, let's hear it!" Fang Guokun became interested.

Liu Xiao quoted a passage from the book, "In the future war, the computer itself is a weapon, the front line is everywhere, and it is not the shells and bullets that seize control of the combat space, but the bits and bytes flowing in the computer network.

Fang Guokun smiled, "On this issue, in fact, there have been many discussions before, some people have said that the First World War is a 'war of chemists', the Second World War is a 'war of physicists', and the future war is a 'war of computer experts'." In the new century, what they have to deal with is not a rain of bullets and indiscriminate bombing, but a sudden cyber attack!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Xiao slapped his thigh and stood up, muttering: "Deal with a sudden cyber attack, that's right, that's it, in one sentence!"

"What's wrong with you?" Fang Guokun was confused.

"Oh, nothing, nothing!" Liu Xiao shook his head with a smile, "I've been reading the book for a long time, and I've always wanted to find a suitable word to come out, your sentence is good, just what I want to express!"

Fang Guokun still didn't understand, he looked at Liu Xiao in a daze, and began to ponder in his heart.

"That's what happened!" Liu Xiao sat back and said: "This experience in Estonia has given me a new idea, and I am going to conduct a research project in the Soft League, and the research topic is 'how to deal with a sudden cyber attack'." ”

"How did you have this idea?" Fang Guokun was a little curious, this should be a question that the ZF network security department would only consider.

"My profession is security!" Liu Xiao's eyes widened, "It's a security issue, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Fang Guokun had to nod, this was indeed a security issue.

"If I solve this problem, will it be very marketable?" Liu Xiao asked again.

"This ......" Fang Guokun was still a little difficult to answer, "It should be very marketable!"

"I've consulted in Estonia that many Western countries have cyber security solutions provided by professional security companies, and now their biggest headache is how to deal with cyber attacks. Liu Xiao looked at Fang Guokun, "In fact, many people understand that the incident in Estonia this time is just sooner or later, and the bigger the trouble, the more conducive it is to solving the problem of cyber attacks." ”

Fang Guokun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Xiao to see through the essence of the problem, "You go on!"

"Frequent cyber attacks annoyed them, in order to reduce losses, they began to seek legislation, however, I think this is just a palliative treatment, it may work for a while, but it is not the best policy!" Liu Xiao took a sip of water, "Legislation may reduce the number of attacks, but the quality of attacks will not decrease, plus it is difficult to obtain evidence, legislation is actually a dead letter, even if you know who the opponent is, but you can't catch substantive evidence." Now is peacetime, legislation can indeed reduce a lot of trouble, but once the war comes, your opponent will not care about your law, and now the means of hacking are getting more and more sophisticated, playing more, is to break in an instant, just like the ancient assassins, hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity, once the time is ripe, just one blow, will inevitably kill the other party. This is exactly the same as the one you just said, it is a real surprise attack, this kind of attack is more hidden, more sudden, and the harm is far more than those frequent attacks, no matter how many Fa you set up, the other party only needs to kill you once, and your life is gone, what use is your Fa?"

"Hehe, you're saying something interesting!" Fang Guokun smiled, "Then what do you have in mind?"

Liu Xiao shook his head, "I don't have an idea, but I think the real solution is to develop instantaneous defense technology, based on this, to establish a system to defend against sudden attacks, as well as multiple sets of emergency plans, this is like the bodyguard system around important people, the assassin suddenly attacked, but with this bodyguard system, he may not necessarily succeed!"

"The idea is good, and the metaphor is also very vivid!" Fang Guokun laughed, this Liu Xiao is really not simple.

"The idea is good, but it's not so simple to do, there are too many fields involved in this kind of topic, and it can't be done at all by the soft alliance itself!" Liu Xiao sighed, "It's not easy to earn this pot of gold." Forget it, let's see the opportunity later. By the way, how did you have time to come over today?"

"I wanted to ask you a question!" Fang Guokun looked at Liu Xiao, "How did you know that there would be a hacker attack in Estonia?", it turned out that Fang Guokun still wanted to knock on the side, but now seeing that Liu Xiao can actually see through everything, he no longer hides it, and directly throws out the questions in his heart.

"Oh?" Liu Xiao was a little surprised, looked at Fang Guokun and said, "You really want to know?"

Fang Guokun nodded, "I'm curious, because hacker attacks can't be predicted at all!"

"Not necessarily!" Liu Xiao laughed, stood up and walked to his desk, rummaged through the drawer for a long time, and finally pulled out a stack of documents nailed together, and then walked to Fang Guokun, "Things that seem unpredictable are actually certain rules that can be followed, this is the basis for I know that there will be large-scale hacker attacks!", after speaking, Liu Xiao put the stack of documents in front of Fang Guokun.

Fang Guokun took a look, and saw a big title in front of the document - "Fengshen Essay Collection", and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "Fengshen!"
