At noon, Liu Xiao was eating downstairs, and the reception MM hurriedly ran down, "Mr. Liu, don't eat!"

Liu Xiao thought that MM had something to do, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?

"No!" MM shook his head, "There's a guest upstairs, looking for you, it's Hua Wei!"

"Oh!" Liu Xiao responded, took the remaining few mouthfuls of food, and followed the reception MM upstairs.

"Where are the people?" As soon as Liu Xiao entered the conference room, he didn't see anyone, so he asked the reception MM.

"I just arranged for them to be in the conference room!" MM also wondered, why can't he wait for this time, is it leaving?

"I'll go to the office to have a look, you can look for it in the company!" Liu Xiao finished speaking, went out to his office, and when he entered the door, he still didn't, so he wondered, pulled the door and went out again, and saw the reception MM waving to him at the door of the activity room, and Liu Xiao hurriedly walked over.

"Where's in the activity room!" MM pointed inside, "What now? I guess they haven't eaten either, should I go to the restaurant to book a table, or will I have a working meal?"

Liu Xiao was also stumped, he saw that Gu Zhendong was also inside, it didn't seem good to let him eat a working meal, but it was all ordered, and when the restaurant was booked, it was estimated that everyone would starve to death, after thinking about it, Liu Xiao gritted his teeth, "Let's have a working meal, and it will be sent to my office in a while!"

"Okay!" the reception MM nodded, ready to get busy.

Liu Xiao gave a thumbs up, "I did well today, and I still insisted on my post at noon mealtime!"

Who knew that MM shrugged, "No way, I lose weight!"

Liu Xiao was speechless, and when MM left, he pushed open the door of the activity room and walked in, there were really a lot of people inside, two people were playing table tennis inside, and there was a circle of people watching.

As soon as Liu Xiao entered the door, someone just lost a ball, half of the people around him were applauding, and the other half were scolding his mother, which made Liu Xiao wonder, this watching the ball is more energetic than playing the ball, as if he lost his own ball, and the person who was scolded was still embarrassed and didn't dare to talk back, what the hell are these guys doing!

When Gu Zhendong saw Liu Xiao, he walked over with a smile, "I heard the excitement here, come and take a look!"

"Why don't you notify me when you come to Haicheng, I'll pick you up!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Let's go, let's go to my office!"

These people in the activity room, when they saw Liu Xiao coming in, they didn't make trouble, and they didn't play ball, and as soon as Liu Xiao led Gu Zhendong out, they scolded their mothers again, cheered and cheered, Liu Xiao frowned, these guys must have done nothing good!

When he arrived at the office, Gu Zhendong pointed to a person behind him, "Let me introduce you, this is my assistant, Wu Fenghe, he answered your call yesterday, Jing Cheng happened to be busy in the past two days, so I brought Xiao Wu over!"

"When we met for the first time, the hospitality was not good, please forgive Mr. Wu!" Liu Xiao stretched out his hand with a smile and shook it with Wu Fenghe.

"These employees of your company are very interesting!" Gu Zhendong sat down and said to Wu Fenghe with a smile: "After I go back, I can do the same in our company and liven up the atmosphere!"

Wu Fenghe nodded hurriedly, "I'll arrange it when I go back!"

Liu Xiao poured water on the two of them, and said with a smile: "A group of people don't go to eat during meal time, but they get together to play table tennis, and it's the first time I've seen them, I don't know what the hell they do!"

"It turns out that you don't know what they're doing!" Gu Zhendong smiled, "I asked, it seems that your company is giving bonuses today, the hardware group is one dollar more than the software group, and the software group is not satisfied, so the two sides discussed that they will each push a master, and the ball will decide the winner, if the hardware group wins, then there is nothing to say, if you lose, one dollar will have to go to the software group." ”

When Liu Xiao heard this, he immediately laughed, "I tossed for a long time, it turned out to be just for a dollar, these guys are so interesting!"

"The weight of this dollar is not small, he is an honor, if everyone can compete for honor, then this company will have a future!" Gu Zhendong smiled, "Besides, a dollar does not hurt the peace." There are many enterprises, in order to form a benign competitive environment within the company, spend a lot of money and a lot of effort, and in the end often the gains outweigh the losses. With one dollar, you can do things that others want to do but can't, and it seems that in this regard, we will have to learn from you in the future!"

"It's serious, it's serious!" Liu Xiao hurriedly politely, he also felt very funny in his heart, he was whimsical yesterday, but he didn't expect to be praised by Gu Zhendong today.

As he was talking, the reception MM knocked on the door and walked in, carrying seven or eight lunch boxes on a large plate.

Liu Xiao hurriedly got up and took it, "Thinking that you are in a hurry, you shouldn't have lunch yet, but now to book a seat at this point, I'm afraid it's too late." At noon, we will deal with it with the working meal, and in the evening I will definitely entertain the two distinguished guests!

"Bang, Bang!", a few lunch boxes waved in front of Gu Zhendong, and Gu Zhendong looked slightly stunned, probably because he didn't expect it, and Wu Fenghe next to him couldn't help but go crazy.

"Mr. Liu, there is still a share for you!" MM whispered, "I saw that you were in a hurry just now, and you didn't eat well, so I brought you another one!"

Liu Xiao said with a smile: "Thank you, to be honest, I really haven't eaten enough!", as he spoke, Liu Xiao took his share.

Gu Zhendong may have been a little unhappy, but when he saw that Liu Xiao was eating the same working meal, he naturally had nothing to say, who said that he had not notified the soft alliance in advance, and he was anxious to know what the big cooperation mentioned on the phone of the soft alliance was, this point was not so coincidental, it happened to be the time when people were eating. If you usually go to someone else's house to visit, if you meet the host's house for dinner, and the host invites you to eat together, that is, you can eat what is on the table, as a guest, you can't be picky, this is also a matter of etiquette. Thinking of this, Gu Zhendong suddenly smiled and said: "Eat whatever you encounter, to be honest, I really haven't eaten a working meal before, and I just borrowed your light today, I'll try it." After speaking, he opened the lunch box with a smile and said, "It's so fragrant!"

"This braised pork is Chef Tian's signature dish downstairs, and even the people who work in several office buildings around have to come over to eat it every day!" Liu Xiao finished speaking, and also opened his lunch box.

"Then I have to taste it!" Gu Zhendong picked up the chopsticks and said to Wu Fenghe on the side: "Xiao Wu, you can taste it too!"

Gu Zhendong tasted a piece and felt that it tasted really good, so he opened the remaining lunch boxes and said, "I think let's talk while eating, you said that you want to cooperate with us Huawei to do a big thing, what is it?"

Liu Xiao looked at Gu Zhendong with a smile, "Actually, there are two things, the first thing, what we said last time, the company finally passed it yesterday and decided to hand over the security engine to Huawei for development, in addition, we are also going to hand over the hardware part of the hardware firewall to Huawei to do." ”

"There's no problem with this!" Gu Zhendong tasted the dishes one by one, and he really tasted them, and his chopsticks kept clipping, "The hardware is what we are best at, and it will definitely be no problem for us to do it." And what about the second thing?"

Liu Xiao didn't say anything, just smiled, "The second thing is too big, don't be in a hurry to say it, don't be in a hurry to say it!", after speaking, Liu Xiao looked at Wu Fenghe.

Who is Gu Zhendong, he is extremely old-fashioned, Liu Xiao only had one look, and he knew what it meant, so he turned to Wu Fenghe and said: "Xiaowu, we probably won't be able to go back today, you help me book a room in the hotel, and I will stay tonight." ”

Wu Fenghe didn't dare to delay, he was already unhappy, he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, as soon as he heard Gu Zhendong's words, he stood up directly, "Then I'll do it now!"

Waiting for Wu Fenghe to leave, Gu Zhendong said: "There is no one else now, just you and me, if there is any big matter, you can say it!"

Liu Xiao sat directly in Wu Fenghe's position just now, "Mr. Gu, before I talk about this, I'll ask you a question!"

"Say!" Gu Zhendong said.

"Regarding Huawei's security business, what did you plan in mind at the beginning?" Liu Xiao looked at Gu Zhendong, "How big are you going to do?" Are you going to do it for a long time, or do you want to withdraw after earning back?"

"What do you think?" Gu Zhendong looked at Liu Xiao, "I'm all sitting in your office now, how do you say I prepared!"

"That's it!" Liu Xiao suddenly showed a happy look, Gu Zhendong said this, he knew what Gu Zhendong meant, if he just planned to make a profit, Gu Zhendong would not go out in person, "I have a big plan, I want to cooperate with Huawei." ”

"How big?" Gu Zhendong looked at Liu Xiao.

"Let's join forces with the two of us to win the security market of the whole world in one fell swoop!" Liu Xiao said as if he was joking.

Gu Zhendong looked at Liu Xiao in astonishment for about ten seconds, and then slowly put down his chopsticks, "You're not joking?"

"What do you think?" Liu Xiao looked at Gu Zhendong very seriously.

Gu Zhendong was a little unsure of what Liu Xiao meant, looking at his expression, it didn't seem to be a joke, but no matter how he heard this sentence, he felt that it was a joke, "You can tell me more about it!"

"If Hua Wei didn't have such a big appetite, I wouldn't have to say it!" Liu Xiao also put down his chopsticks and slowly took a sip of tea.

"Hehe......" Gu Zhendong laughed, "Of course, Hua Wei's appetite is definitely bigger than you think, but why are you looking for us to cooperate?"

"Because this thing must be done by two companies working together, I need a reliable partner, and a one-man show can't be done!" Liu Xiao looked at Gu Zhendong.

Gu Zhendong couldn't help but be curious when he saw that Liu Xiao was talking about things, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"I'm not sure!" Liu Xiao has never blindly packed tickets, "It depends on whether you dare to gamble!"

Gu Zhendong picked up the cup, drank water, and kept changing his expression, obviously, he was making a choice in his heart, if he didn't agree to cooperate first, Liu Xiao would definitely not say the details of the cooperation, but Gu Zhendong wanted to know the details of the cooperation, and controlling the security market of the whole world was too tempting for him.

"Mr. Gu, you don't have to answer me in a hurry!" Liu Xiao smiled, "This matter is not in a hurry, and it will not affect our first cooperation project." ”

"Since that's the case, then you let me think about it!" Gu Zhendong is still relatively stable, he understands very well that the greater the benefits, the greater the risk you have to take, controlling the entire security market, he dreamed of it, but he can't just accompany Liu Xiao to take an adventure, Huawei is now a big business, and he can't afford to toss, "Let's talk about the current cooperation first, is the hardware firewall you are talking about the one you provided to Estonia this time?"

"That's right!" Liu Xiao picked up the chopsticks again, "That's it, because the development was in a hurry, we haven't had time to design a matching hardware platform, this time what was sold to Estonia is only the firewall program itself, and Estonia needs to set up its own hardware platform before it can be put into use." ”

"Huh?" Gu Zhendong was a little surprised, "As far as I know, the hardware platform is not troublesome, and now your firewall is in full swing, why do you want to share this good thing with us Huawei?"

"Because I'm still waiting for you to promise our second cooperation!" Liu Xiao smiled, "You can understand that this is our sincerity!"

"Hehe!" Gu Zhendong laughed, "This reason is very good, but this is not your style, you kid is joking with me!"

"Then I'll tell the truth!" Liu Xiao stopped laughing and became serious, "Because I think we should be partners, not opponents! For a long time, we have misunderstood the word opponent, not to mention it, take the matter of foreign security agencies jointly blocking our soft alliance, do you think those institutions are partners or competitors?"

Gu Zhendong didn't speak, these overseas security agencies are indeed competitors, but they have always been very tacit when dealing with potential opponents from China.

"Take other industries as an example, in fact, Mr. Gu, you can carefully recall that many of the foreign brands in the domestic market are competitors, but in your impression, have you ever seen them expand the market by bargaining with each other?" Liu Xiao shook his head first, "More often, they raise prices together as if they had discussed in advance to grab greater benefits." On the contrary, some of our local enterprises, in order to eliminate their compatriots and opponents, compete to reduce prices, and finally reduce until they lose money and make money, when there is no capital to spend with their opponents, they have only two ways to go, either go bankrupt, or go to overseas brands, and the market is so handed over to foreigners!" Liu Xiao sighed, "Mr. Gu, don't you think we should learn something from the success of those overseas brands? Or do you want to join forces and let those overseas companies have no way out?"

"You don't have to say it!" Gu Zhendong raised his hand, "I understand what you mean, since the last time you went to Thunder City and took the initiative to let go of the enterprise-level market, I know how high your heart is, you are a person who is ready to do big things." You can rest assured, even if there is no cooperation between us, when the soft alliance attacks the overseas market, Huawei will not hold you back!" "Gu Zhendong's Huawei opened up the overseas market back then, and the problems he faced were basically the same as Liu Xiao's, and all the opponents suddenly joined forces to deal with him, as if they were not opponents before, so he was deeply touched.

Liu Xiao looked at Gu Zhendong, his eyes were full of gratitude, for this kind of understanding person, you don't need to make superfluous explanations at all, "What they can do, we can also do it, there is no humility between those overseas companies, if our soft alliance has to rely on Huawei Humility and sacrifice to break out of the domestic market, then we would rather defeat you first!"

"It seems that I can't cooperate with you anymore!" Gu Zhendong laughed, "It's all about this, if I don't get happy, I can't talk about it, you say, how to do it, I'll follow you!"

"What I'm waiting for is your words!" Liu Xiao didn't eat anymore, brushed it and stood up, "I've already thought about how to do it!"

"I already knew that your kid must have a plan!" Gu Zhendong smiled, and Liu Xiao must have been planning for a long time.

"First of all, we work together to quickly settle down the domestic market, the specific way is to persuade ZF to purchase our products, support and support our development, although a little difficult, but not without opportunities, we are waiting for an opportunity, this opportunity will come soon!" Liu Xiao has really been preparing for a long time, and even came up with specific methods," While consolidating the domestic market, it is time to quickly establish the leadership of the strategic security engine in the global security community, and I am ready to license the security engine to those foreign security agencies to do things for me, but it will take a bit of thought, but I don't believe that they are just a piece of steel, and I will soon be able to figure out a way to divide them and make them accept my security engine. As for Huawei, it is to use your leading position as a global operator to sell them our hardware firewalls, and for each set of firewalls, Huawei will take 30% of the benefits, but there is one point, SoftAlliance will no longer authorize the policy-level security engine to Huawei. ”

"Why?" Gu Zhendong was shocked, could it be that Liu Xiao just wanted to use Huawei's convenient channels on global operators to promote his products, and then get rid of Huawei? Although Sanchengli can also make a lot of money for Huawei, if the soft alliance really wants to turn back to deal with Huawei at that time, Huawei will have no tricks, relatively speaking, Hua Wei is just willing to get the authorization of the soft alliance security engine.

"Because we have a bigger plan in the future, and Hua Wei will be the main event at that time!" Liu Xiao walked up to Gu Zhendong, attached it to his ear, muttered for a while, and then straightened up again, and said, "What do you think of this plan?"

"Okay, it's just a trick to control the other, and at that time, there will be no need for those overseas security agencies!" After listening to Liu Xiao's words, Gu Zhendong's puzzled expression suddenly changed to joy, and it was extremely happy.

"If Mr. Gu thinks there is no problem, then let's just say it!" Liu Xiao smiled, "You and I know about this, once the news leaks, then we won't have to play!"

"Don't worry, I will cooperate with you to play a good show!" Gu Zhendong also stood up with a smile and sighed: "It seems that I am really old!"

"I think Mr. Gu, you are getting younger and younger, and you have an adventurous heart like us!"

"Really?" Gu Zhendong laughed heartily, and Liu Xiao's words made him feel very good.

"Then I'll have someone prepare for the press conference in a while! In the past few days, there has just been a large group of foreign media guarding our soft alliance, so let's take this opportunity to sing this drama to the full!" Liu Xiao looked at Gu Zhendong, "What do you think?"

"No problem, you are the director, I listen to you!" Gu Zhendong smiled, making Liu Xiao praise, he really felt a lot younger.

After the matter was done, Liu Xiao saw the pile of lunch boxes on the table, so he patted his head, "I'm patronizing and talking about things, the food is cold, I'll take it and heat it up for you!"

"No need!" Gu Zhendong raised his hand, "It's important to get down to business, I'll go and notify the company now, so that they can start developing your hardware platform from now on! Okay, I'm leaving!", Gu Zhendong said, and got up to leave.

"I'll send you!" Liu Xiao hurriedly went to open the door.

"What are you sending, it's not an outsider!" Gu Zhendong stopped Liu Xiao, "You better hurry up and arrange business, whether you can succeed or not, it's all up to you!" Now Gu Zhendong is a little more anxious than Liu Xiao.

Sending Gu Zhendong into the elevator, Liu Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists and wave them happily, and finally took a good step, so he had to show his strength.

"Mr. Liu, what are you doing?" the reception MM looked at Liu Xiao in confusion.

"You help me contact the Kang Mike who came to our company last time, and said that there is a cooperation to be done, and ask him if he is interested!" Liu Xiao stared at MM, "Remember, I'll contact him right away!", after speaking, Liu Xiao "yes yes" squeezed three times before entering the company.

A few minutes later, the website of SoftAlliance issued a risk warning, the recent hacker attack in Estonia may cause impact on the domestic network, and SoftAlliance reminded all ZF institutions, banks, media, and enterprises to do a good job in the daily supervision of their respective networks to prevent accidents. The personal security software of SoftAlliance has been updated synchronously, informing every user of this risk warning.

At the same time, the media also received an invitation letter from the soft alliance, and three days later, the soft alliance will hold a press conference to announce a major decision, as for what the decision is, the invitation letter does not mention it.
