Although the principal is gone, Zhang Xiaohua's plan to go shopping still did not succeed, the heads of the Fengming City Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the China Merchants Bureau, and the Enterprise Confederation came one after another, all for the soft alliance's investment in Fengming, it seems that Fengming is ruthless this time, and Liu Xiao must be left in Fengming.

It wasn't until it was dark that no one came, but Zhang Xiaohua listened to the words of the empty head all afternoon, and at this time she no longer had any interest in shopping, and she fell asleep on the sofa. After dinner, Liu Xiao still felt that he couldn't go, and proposed to go to the movies, so he dragged Zhang Xiaohua up from the sofa, and the two changed into casual clothes, held hands and went downstairs.

Zhang Xiaohua's car was parked downstairs, and the two of them walked towards the car, and as soon as they opened the car door, they were about to drill into the car, when they heard a hurried shout from behind, "Liu Xiao! Liu Xiao!"

Liu Xiao turned around and waited for the person who shouted him to approach, and couldn't help frowning, it seems that the movie can't be seen again, this time it's not Feng Ming's person, the person who came is the assistant to the mayor of Haicheng, Liu Xiao has seen two sides, and he can still recognize it, "Assistant Fang, what a coincidence, how can you also be in Feng Ming!"

"Let's go, let's talk inside!" Assistant Fang didn't say a word, and dragged Liu Xiao to the hotel, "I went to your room to find you, the waiter said that you just went downstairs, I chased after it slowly, and finally caught up!"

Liu Xiao stood still and said, "Assistant Fang, is there anything important? I'm about to go out!", Liu Xiao turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaohua, at this time Zhang Xiaohua probably couldn't get angry, and leaned on the car helplessly, with a bitter face.

Assistant Fang glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, and then returned his attention to Liu Xiao, "Of course there is something important, you will know if you go in with me!", after speaking, he leaned close to Liu Xiao's ear and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Liu Xiaoyi frowned and looked back at Zhang Xiaohua, "It seems that the movie can't be watched!"

Zhang Xiaohua pushed the car door with a "snap" and muttered, "I knew it would be like this!", after speaking, she glared at the assistant Fang angrily, and took the lead towards the hotel.

"Assistant Fang, let's go up!" Liu Xiao shook his head helplessly, and raised his hand to signal Assistant Fang to go first.

The two caught up with Zhang Xiaohua behind, and then came to the door of a room on the 12th floor, Assistant Fang knocked on the door, then took out the room card and swiped it, and pushed the door open, "Come, two of you, please come in!"

After Liu Xiao entered, he saw the mayor of Haicheng standing in front of the sofa at this time, smiling slightly.

"Hello Mayor!" Liu Xiao walked over and stretched out his hand, "I didn't expect to see you here!"

"Hello, hello!" the mayor of Haicheng smiled, "Please sit down!", and looked at Zhang Xiaohua behind Liu Xiao, "This is probably the daughter of the head of Zhang's enterprise, hello!"

"This is Mayor Feng of Haicheng!" Liu Xiao introduced Zhang Xiaohua.

"Hello, Mayor Feng!" Zhang Xiaohua also shook hands in the past, and then sat on the sofa in a corner, she didn't care who the other party was, all her plans today were messed up by these people.

"I went to the field for a meeting, and I happened to pass by Feng Ming!" Mayor Feng smiled, "I heard that you are going to invest in Feng Ming?"

Liu Xiao knew that it must still be the case, and hurriedly said: "It's not decided yet, I was surrounded by the media in the morning, so I said it casually, I didn't expect anyone to take it seriously, I'm worried about this matter now!"

"What's there to worry about!" Mayor Feng waved his hand, "You just have to operate in Haicheng with peace of mind, as long as you have this mind, I think no one can affect you!"

Liu Xiao smiled, thinking that you said it is easy, it would be so simple, in fact, Liu Xiao understands the thoughts of ZF in these places very well, on the one hand, the value and profits of the soft alliance are soaring, more than 20 billion US dollars in a week, this figure has accounted for one-tenth of the country's total annual trade surplus, the transaction costs of the soft alliance and those enterprises are very low, basically it can be said that income is profit, the soft alliance has become a veritable large taxpayer in one fell swoop, and can contribute billions of dollars of financial revenue to the local ZF every year, and everyone is willing to offer these gods of wealth to their own territory; There are not many enterprises that can import high-tech content in China, Haicheng and Feng Ming have not had such a business card for many years, in this regard, they are not as good as Lei Cheng, although Lei Cheng is not big, but there are many high-tech enterprises, among which the leading representative is Huawei , who will have a business card to take the shot.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was very unhappy, shrunk in the sofa and didn't speak, she was very willing to let the soft alliance move to Fengming, so that she could supervise Liu Xiao every day.

"If you have any concerns, just say it!" The mayor saw that Liu Xiao didn't speak, so he "inspired".

"I personally don't have any concerns, because the company has a comprehensive plan for development, and any decision I make must be in line with the overall consideration, and it can only be passed after collective deliberation by the company's decision-making level, otherwise it will definitely not be implemented!" Liu Xiao smiled, "So please rest assured that the mayor is just some of my personal remarks today, and it does not mean that the decision-making of the soft alliance has changed." ”

"That's good!" Mayor Feng bowed slightly, "The city is also considering introducing a series of support policies for high-tech enterprises recently, especially for enterprises like your soft alliance, and the city will increase support in the future." ”

"Yes, yes!" the mayor's assistant also nodded, "This matter is to be grasped by Mayor Feng personally, Mayor Feng and the city government are very determined, the introduction of these policies is to create a large number of well-known and world-class high-tech enterprises." ”

Liu Xiao smiled, "Thank you to the city government and Mayor Feng for their support to our enterprises, we will definitely work harder in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaohua had a headache when she heard it, and it was these vain words, so she stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something urgent to do, I'm very sorry, I have to go first." After speaking, he looked at the mayor, "Mayor Feng, goodbye, I'm really sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Mayor Feng smiled and waved his hand, "If you have something to do, go and get busy!"

Liu Xiao knew what Zhang Xiaohua meant, and probably had an opinion on whether he should move back and forth to Fengming in the soft alliance, but he had no choice but to say so, so he said: "Then you go to do things first, and I will contact you later!"

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and walked out.

Mayor Feng watched Zhang Xiaohua leave and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with this daughter of Zhang's enterprise?"

"Yes, we used to be alumni of the university, and now she is my girlfriend!" Liu Xiao laughed.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Mayor Feng frowned slightly, thinking that no wonder Liu Xiao would say something like that, it turned out that his girlfriend was here, and at a glance just now, these two people are really talented and good-looking, and if nothing else, they will definitely achieve positive results in the future. If this is the case, then as long as Zhang's daughter blows the wind, it is very likely that the soft alliance will move to Fengming, after all, the soft alliance has no fixed assets, and even the office building is rented, as long as you want to move, you can move out at any time, there is no shackle.

"That's right!" How could the mayor's assistant not know what the mayor was thinking, just a few seconds, he came up with a countermeasure, and said: "The city has set aside a piece of land, ready to be handed over to the soft alliance for construction, you are now a signboard of our Haicheng, and it is not suitable to squeeze in an office building with other enterprises." ”

When the mayor heard this, he was overjoyed, as long as the soft alliance agreed, it would be rooted in Haicheng, and it would not be so easy to move away in the future, so he bowed his head and said: "Yes, that's right, I originally wanted to tell you about this matter after the city's support policies were introduced." ”

Giving away the land for nothing, the mayor thought that Liu Xiao would definitely agree very happily, but he didn't expect Liu Xiao to shake his head with a smile, "Thank you for the city's support to our soft alliance, the soft alliance also needs a real base of its own now, but I think this piece of land may not be accepted by the soft alliance for the time being." ”

"Why?" asked the mayor's assistant anxiously.

"Because the soft alliance now has a piece of land in its hands, when Fengming set up the high-tech zone, our major shareholder Mr. Xiong Hanchen purchased a piece of land for the soft alliance in Fengming, but the soft alliance has not had the rich financial resources to build it. Now that the company's financial resources are improving, this matter has been put on the agenda, and before the final decision is made, I think I can't accept this piece of land in Haicheng, in case it ......" Liu Xiao said halfway through, so he didn't say anything, but the other two people understood, that is, the decision-making level of the soft alliance had not yet decided whether to continue to stay in Haicheng, so they couldn't take the land of Haicheng.

Mayor Feng's face was very ugly, and he was very angry in his heart, this Feng Ming City was against him everywhere, and he even calculated this in front of him. The assistant over there is also stupid, he just can, and he really can't think of any good countermeasures for a while.

"Actually, ......" Liu Xiao paused, and said: "In fact, enterprises like Soft Alliance are not very dependent on the foundation, and they do not have to have a fixed base to continue to operate, we also do not have an office abroad, but our products are sold to every corner of the world." ”

When the mayor heard that there was a turn for the better, he said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"A technology-based enterprise like SoftAlliance needs a kind of soft support more!" Liu Xiao looked at Mayor Feng, "I know that Haicheng launched a network upgrade plan a year ago, but later due to many unexpected network incidents, this matter was shelved, and it also caused Haicheng a lot of face." ”

The mayor didn't speak, this matter really annoyed him, he spent so much money, but in exchange for a mess, this is a shame for him, now no one in Haicheng dares to mention this matter, whoever mentions Mayor Feng will turn his face with whom, and now Liu Xiao mentions it, Mayor Feng also has a very bad face.

The mayor's assistant coughed twice in embarrassment, "Liu Xiao, you go on, finish speaking!"

Liu Xiao nodded and said, "Now the soft alliance has just launched a new research project, called the 'multi-echelon network defense system', which aims to establish a new network security system to solve various security problems in large cities like Haicheng when they are attacked by sudden cyber attacks. ”

"That's a good idea!" the assistant mayor pinched his chin, "Say it again!"

"But it's not enough to have ideas, in the final analysis, our system is to serve a big city like Haicheng, without the support and cooperation of these big cities, our research can't go on at all!" Liu Xiao paused and looked at Mayor Feng, "I think that if the city government is willing to hand over the upgrading and transformation plan of the Haicheng network to the soft alliance, in this way, not only can the projects that have been shelved in the city be restarted, but the soft alliance will have no reason to leave Haicheng." ”

Mayor Feng finally understood what Liu Xiao meant, he was going to use Haicheng's network as a test field to conduct their research on that topic, and he was really bold. The assistant was also taken aback, thinking that Liu Xiao really dared to speak, and he actually used this to blackmail the Haicheng City Government.

"Everything is foreseen, not pre-planned, the network upgrade plan was thrown out, it can definitely be seen that the city government in this area of determination and foresight, but in the later implementation process, the focus has been deviated, the city government has invested too much financial resources in the upgrading of hardware, thinking that the best products can achieve the best results, but neglected to invest in software, and finally caused a lot of losses!"

"That's not right!" the assistant hurriedly retorted: "At that time, we invited the best experts and engineers in the country to develop a new network control system and emergency response system for Haicheng, and the city government also invested the same amount of financial resources and manpower in software!"

"But I have to admit that the last problem is in this emergency response system, a small mistake in software strategy, so that all the hardware becomes an accomplice to the attacker, so that a city instantly falls into a state of paralysis and disorder!" Liu Xiao stared at the assistant and suppressed his momentum at once, in this regard, Liu Xiao is an expert.

The assistant was dumb for a moment, he was still self-aware, and arguing about safety with those who were engaged in security was purely an axe and embarrassing himself.

"Then you can analyze and see why this is happening?" the mayor began.

"I think the main reason is that the development time is too tight, from the project to the final completion, there is only less than half a year, it is because of the rush of time, so that the software developers do not have time to make targeted security tests on this system, so that a system full of vulnerabilities began to serve Haicheng's network. Liu Xiao paused and looked at Mayor Feng.

Mayor Feng was silent for a while, and said, "What you said has some truth, keep talking!"

"Okay, then I ask the mayor to think about it, as soon as the system was completed and opened that day, it was attacked by hackers, what kind of hacker is so powerful, he can figure out the vulnerability of this system in such a short time?" Liu Xiao looked at Mayor Feng, "This is the second reason I want to say, and it is also the fundamental reason for the failure of the Haicheng network transformation project." The network control system designed for Haicheng, as well as the emergency response system, are too outdated in terms of technical structure, and it is precisely because of this outdated structure that the attackers are familiar with finding the flaws in a very short period of time, and then launching targeted attacks!"

The mayor didn't speak, he didn't understand safety technology, but from Liu Xiao's analysis today, combined with the previous experts' conclusions on the cause of the accident, he believes that Liu Xiao should be correct, and only in this way can everything be explained reasonably, because the time is pressing, the software designers used a more mature existing technical structure for development, and did not do a good job of testing, which led to the final failure.

"In the field of network security, there is no absolute security, only new technology and new structure can ensure the security leadership for a period of time!" Liu Xiao pinched his hand, "This is also the reason why our products can be favored by so many customers, and our strategic level is a new security structure system." The Haicheng network transformation plan was put on hold, which has almost become a joke of other cities in China, I know that Mayor Feng must be very unwilling in his heart, and our soft alliance has empty technology and ideas, but there is no stage to play, if Mayor Feng can give us a chance, we will definitely not let you down!"

Liu Xiao's words can be regarded as saying to Mayor Feng's heart, now he really can't raise his head, he spent tens of billions of dollars on a project, but he was stabbed lightly by a hacker with a little thumb, and it collapsed instantly, and Haicheng Mansion has almost become the representative of the loser in the eyes of everyone.

"I know that this matter is a bit important, Mayor Feng can think about it slowly!" Liu Xiao said and straightened up, "In fact, we don't have to worry about collaborators in this project, even if we can't find collaborators in China, there are still foreign countries, we have now signed a letter of intent for cooperation with several foreign ZFs, and the reason why I want to mention this matter today is because I really want to help the city do something." We don't need to take a penny from the city, or even pay backwards, but if we really stay in Haicheng in the future, we don't want people to say that Haichengkong has the best network security agency in the world, but its own network is the worst in the world, which is disgraceful!" , Liu Xiao said this, but half true and half false, he really wanted to help Haicheng ZF, not for anything else, because the matter of Haicheng was shelved because of his impulse at the time, and nearly 10 billion things were idle, Liu Xiao felt that this was a sin, he wanted to repay the money he owed to the people of Haicheng, after all, the money did not fall from the sky, it was earned by the people of Haicheng.

Mayor Feng was also aggrieved by Liu Xiao's words, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "If it is really left to you, what can you guarantee?"

"We can't guarantee everything, but we guarantee that our research will not affect the normal life and production order of the people of Haicheng!" Liu Xiao, who rarely packs tickets, made an unprecedented technical guarantee for people today.

"Okay!" Mayor Feng patted his thigh, "I will report this matter to the municipal party committee after I go back, and within a week, I will definitely give you a clear answer." ”

"Then I'll wait for the mayor's good news!" Liu Xiao looked at the mayor, a little excited, no matter what, as long as the Haicheng government is willing to consider this matter, he doesn't have to wait for the news from the network supervisor.

Coming out of Mayor Feng's room, Liu Xiao returned to his room, pushed open the door, and found Zhang Xiaohua lying on the sofa and already asleep, still holding the remote control of the TV in his hand.

"Get up, get up!" Liu Xiao walked over and woke Zhang Xiaohua up, "Go to bed if you are sleepy, be careful of catching a cold when sleeping on the sofa!"

"What time is it?" Zhang Xiaohua woke up in a daze, looked at the watch in her hand, and then jumped up, "Ah, it's so late, it's miserable, I have to go home, otherwise I will be scolded by my father again!", after speaking, she got off the sofa and began to put on her shoes.

"It's so late, I'll send you!" Liu Xiao hurriedly said.

"Hehe, if you send me back, then I don't have to send you back again!" Zhang Xiaohua was happy.

Liu Xiao felt very reluctant not to go, and said that he would accompany Zhang Xiaohua to go shopping, but he asked Zhang Xiaohua to accompany him to listen to the polite words that were not nutritious for a day, so he said: "You must send it, it seems that I have never sent you home, why, don't give it a chance?"

Zhang Xiaohua blinked and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to be a gentleman, let's go!"

"Okay!" Liu Xiao said and picked up Zhang Xiaohua's bag and made a very gentlemanly gesture, "Please, Ms. Zhang Xiaohua!"

Zhang Xiaohua took the car downstairs, and drove Liu Xiao in the direction of her house, and when she was halfway there, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly leaned on the side of the road and didn't leave.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiao asked.

"I'm a little thirsty when I sleep!" Zhang Xiaohua pointed to the side of the road, "There's a convenience store over there, you can buy me a bottle of water!"

"Okay, obey!" Liu Xiao got out of the car with a smile, "Wait for me in the car!", after speaking, he pushed the car door and walked towards the convenience store on the side of the road.

Zhang Xiaohua sat in the car with a smile, watching Liu Xiao enter the convenience store, with a smug and happy expression on her face, "I'll call you!", Zhang Xiaohua muttered.

A black business car slowly crossed by Zhang Xiaohua's car at this time, stopped in front of her car, and a person got out of the car, looking very strong, the man took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and smoked there, and saw Liu Xiao walking out of the convenience store, so he greeted him.

Zhang Xiaohua vaguely heard that the man seemed to ask Liu Xiao a sentence "How to go around the sea road?", Liu Xiao stood there and gestured to the person, the man kept nodding his head, but suddenly raised his hand violently and smashed it towards the back of Liu Xiao's head, and saw Liu Xiao's body weak, was caught by the man, and then hugged the business car and left quickly.

The incident happened suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua obviously couldn't react to what happened, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that something was wrong, and slammed on the accelerator and chased after the business car, while urgently dialing Zhang Chunsheng's phone, and yelled frantically: "Dad, it's not good! Quick, Liu Xiao was kidnapped! Liu Xiao was kidnapped!"
