With Long Izumo's words, Liu Xiao will also take office, he is quite familiar with the company, so he temporarily designated the heads of several departments, and see that there is no handover, a few people on the large pile of documents and archives left by the company, after a morning of research and speculation, the normal business of the soft alliance has finally recovered.

As for Long Izumo's decision to sell the soft alliance, Liu Xiao advised Long Izumo not to make a final decision in a hurry, and it would not be too late to think about it after the police had a final conclusion on the matter. But Long Izumo seemed to be iron-hearted, Liu Xiao didn't release the news, so he revealed his intention to sell the soft alliance through his own channels.

In just a few hours, the first buyer who was willing to buy came directly to the door, and it was also Liu Xiao's old acquaintance, Miller, a foreigner from the RE&KING organization.

When Miller saw that the person in charge of the soft alliance was Liu Xiao, he was first surprised, and then surprised, originally he thought that the negotiation might be a little difficult, but now that he looks at it, it should be very promising, and the organization sent himself to talk about this matter, which is really wise, he happily stretched out his hand to Liu Xiao, "Hello hello, I really didn't expect that the operation director of the famous soft alliance technology would be you!"

Liu Xiao smiled, "Mr. Miller, I'm making you laugh, where am I the director of operations, I'm just temporarily in charge of the soft alliance!"

When Miller heard this, he said curiously: "For the time being, you can't negotiate the acquisition?"

"Do it first and sit first, this matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while!" Liu Xiao paused, "By the way, what did you just say about negotiating the acquisition?"

Miller looked surprised, "Of course it's about the acquisition of SoftAlliance! As soon as our company got the news, it sent me, who was on business in China, to negotiate this matter, why don't you, the director of operations of SoftAlliance, seem to know about it?"

AS SOON AS LIU XIAO HEARD IT, HE KNEW THAT IT WAS LONG IZUMO HIMSELF WHO HAD RELEASED THE NEWS, AND HE FROWNED, "IT'S TRUE! WHAT, YOU RE&KING ARE INTERESTED?"

"That's natural!" Miller nodded repeatedly, "Our company is very interested!", and then probably realized that he was a little too positive, so he deliberately restrained his emotions, "Of course, this is only a unilateral will of ours, as for whether it can be done, it depends on the specific negotiation and the purchase price!"

Liu Xiao looked at Miller obliquely, "You RE&KING is very well-informed. Since you and I are acquaintances and old friends, can you give me an explanation, how much authority did your company give you this time, and what is the upper limit of your acquisition of Soft Alliance?"

"This ......," the foreigner paused, then smiled slyly, "Then will you also tell me your limit?"

"That's nature!" Liu Xiao nodded, "There are no outsiders here, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it!"

The foreigner stretched out a hand, shook the five fingers, and asked tentatively, "How about this number?"

Liu Xiao didn't speak, just sat there and shook his head with a smile.

"Our headquarters has given me such a big authority, no matter how much I am in charge, I can't be the master!" Miller looked at Liu Xiao and shook his head, and he was a little nervous, "However, I believe that even if other companies come to negotiate, it is estimated that it will not exceed this price." As we all know, China's market is very difficult to do, piracy and cracking is the biggest problem, and China does not belong to the mainstream of the Internet, people's security awareness is not high, the willingness to buy security products is not strong, no one will easily come here to take risks!"

"That's not right!" Liu Xiao looked at Miller, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so his tone was a little unpolite: "You guys seem to be uninvited, right?"

Miller was a little embarrassed, and showed that sly smile again, "These are two different things, two different things! Business expansion and investing in the Chinese market are two completely different concepts!"

"For the sake of old acquaintances, I'll give you a secret!" Liu Xiao looked at Miller with a smile, "You don't have a show, you better go back!" ALTHOUGH THE SALE OF SOFT ALLIANCE IS LONG IDEMO'S BUSINESS, THE PRICE OF RE&KING CAN'T BE PASSED HERE BY LIU XIAO. Besides, although the soft alliance is registered abroad by Long Izumo, but the soft alliance has always played the brand of Chinese hackers, and in the global security community, the soft alliance can also be regarded as the number one, as long as the soft alliance is mentioned, everyone will think of the word "Chinese hacker", and the soft alliance is the symbol and representative of Chinese hackers. If the soft alliance is acquired by another foreign hacker organization, what is the matter, is it a compromise or a surrender? Are all Chinese hackers dead, or are Chinese hackers so poor that they have to go to foreigners to beg for food?

"No play?" Miller looked at Liu Xiao's smiling face, thought there was hope, who knew that it was this result, a little overwhelmed for a while, stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, leaned towards Liu Xiao, and lowered his voice: "I know your Chinese habits, don't worry, as long as you can facilitate this, we will give you this number!" Miller stretched out two fingers.

Liu Xiao suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Miller's heart was furious, and he said without yin or yang, "It seems that Miller can adapt to life in China, and he has become a China expert so quickly!"

Miller didn't hear Liu Xiao's remark, and continued to laugh: "Also, after the acquisition, I can suggest to the headquarters that you be the technical director of the upcoming RE&KING China branch, and the salary will be double the current one!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity, you've found the wrong person, these are useless to me!" Liu Xiao stood up, "Mr. Miller, I've already said it, you don't have a show, please go back!"

Miller made the biggest mistake at this time, he thought that Liu Xiao was dissatisfied with the price he said, so he quickly added: "If you are not satisfied, we can give you this number!" Miller stretched out three fingers again!

Liu Xiao suddenly became furious at this time, "I let you go, for the sake of our past friendship, to save some face for you, and I don't want to say too ugly words, instead of letting you continue to insult my personality with such words!"

Miller was startled, not knowing why Liu Xiao suddenly got angry: "This ......"

"I, Liu Xiao, am not so unproductive, and a few dollars can't smash me! Let me tell you, I, Liu Xiao, will never do that kind of thing to betray others, let alone betray my friends, what I hate most in my life is a person who betrays his lord for glory, or even betrays the interests of his compatriots!" Liu Xiao looked at Miller fiercely, "I take you as a friend, but what do you treat me for? The friendship between you and me ends here today, next time I say something like this, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he sat down again, leaned on the back of the chair and crossed his legs, looking very angry, "Aren't you going to negotiate? Okay, let's do business now! I will let you go convincing!"

Miller stood there, not sure what Liu Xiao meant for a while, just now he even said good things, but he wanted to drive himself away, and now he annoyed him, he was stunned for a while, and then he slowly sat down and said, "If you ...... If you have any objections to the price we proposed, we can talk about it again, but I hope you can be sensible, mergers and acquisitions are a common thing in the capital market. And I think, if it weren't for something wrong with your soft alliance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought about selling it!"

LIU XIAO SNORTED COLDLY, "DO WE HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, YOU CAN JUST INVESTIGATE, BUT I AM VERY SKEPTICAL OF YOUR RE&KING'S STRENGTH, I'M AFRAID THAT YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO ACQUIRE THE SOFT ALLIANCE!"

"We at RE&KING have a top-notch technical team, and we ......," Miller anxiously explained.

LIU XIAO WAVED HIS HAND AND INTERRUPTED HIM, "THEN LET ME ASK YOU, IN THE RANKING OF GLOBAL SECURITY AGENCIES, WHAT IS YOUR RE&KING RANKING?"

Miller coughed twice in embarrassment, but didn't speak.

"IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU RE&KING DOESN'T SEEM TO BE IN THE 150TH RANK, BUT THE SOFT LEAGUE IS IN THE 32ND RANK. LIU XIAO GLANCED AT THE FOREIGNER, "IF YOU RE&KING WANT TO SELL, MAYBE THE BUYER WILL HAVE TO WEIGH IT AGAIN, AND SOFTALLIANCE IS A WORLD-RENOWNED SECURITY AGENCY, HE WANTS TO SELL, AND THE TREATMENT WILL NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOUR RE&KING, RIGHT?"

"This ......" Miller was stopped by Liu Xiao's words, "Ranking doesn't mean anything, this mainly depends on strength!"

"Strength?" Liu Xiao sneered, "Then let me ask you, what is the annual profit of your RE&KING, how many core technologies do you have, and how big of the security projects can you take? Talk to me about strength, jokes!" Liu Xiao sneered, "Do you know how much the annual profit of the soft alliance is, how many core technologies the soft alliance has, and what level of safety operation qualification the soft alliance has reached? I want to take out one at random, and the soft alliance is several times that of your RE&KING, or even more than ten times!" ”

Miller has nothing to say now, RE&KING was established late, if it is compared to these numbers, it is naturally not the opponent of the soft alliance.

"The annual profit of the soft alliance is at least 150 million, and it is still growing, not to mention his market share in China, as well as the brand effect, but you want to take a mere 50 million to buy the soft alliance, this wishful thinking is too fine!" Liu Xiao flicked his sleeves and stood up, "Do you think all of us are stupid?"

"I didn't mean that, the price ...... The price can be negotiated again!" Miller hurriedly followed.

"There's no need for this, I said it, you don't have a show!" Liu Xiao looked at Miller, "I want you to be a little RE&KING, in terms of qualifications, strength, and market share, you don't even deserve to lift shoes for the soft alliance, and you dare to stand here, and you are ashamed to say that you want to buy the soft alliance, and put on a savior posture, I tell you, the soft alliance has not been humble to this point! Let me tell you again, even if there is an acquisition, then only our soft alliance will buy your share, understand?" LIU XIAO SNORTED COLDLY AGAIN, "GO BACK AND WEIGH YOUR OWN WEIGHT AND THEN TALK TO ME, DON'T THINK THAT YOU RE&KING CAN TURN THE SKY OVER BY MAKING A DECENT FIREWALL, I WILL LEAVE MY WORDS HERE TODAY, AS LONG AS I, LIU XIAO, AM STILL IN CHARGE OF THE SOFT ALLIANCE, WITHIN HALF A YEAR, I GUARANTEE THAT NONE OF YOUR FIREWALL WILL BE SOLD!"

"I ......" Miller is really stupid now, this Liu Xiao turned his face no matter what he said, and said it to such an ugly point, he knew this, he might as well flash early just now, but he wanted to refute a few words, but what can he say, if he continues, he doesn't plan to touch this mold and pick up his own things, "I still hope you can be sensible, if you figure it out, come to me at any time." Miller took out a business card and wanted to put it on Liu Xiao's desk.

Who knew that Liu Xiao flatly refused, "It's better to die of this idea, go back and be your firewall!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand, "Please!

Miller hesitated for a long time, then finally put the business card back in and left.

As soon as Miller left, Liu Xiao kicked on the sofa, really fucking shameless, he had to be angry to end up, I wanted to save face for you with my old feelings, everyone would meet again in the future, who knew that you were a foreign-haired man, you dared to insult me Liu Xiao like this, even if I Liu Xiao starved to death on the street, I Liu Xiao couldn't do that kind of embarrassing thing, I Liu Xiao lacked everything, but the backbone was not lacking!

Liu Xiao sat in the office angrily, and it took a long time for this anger to disappear, but when he looked back, he remembered that Long Izumo was going to sell the soft alliance, and he scolded other people's buyers like this, and he was happy, but how did Long Izumo explain it. Liu Xiao frowned, got up and walked out of the office, he had to go to Long Izumo to have a good talk, even if he wanted to sell the soft alliance, then there must be a bottom limit!

Liu Xiao rushed to the hotel where Long Izumo was, knocked on the door and went in, and found that Long Izumo was talking to someone on the phone, so Liu Xiao went to the bathroom to avoid it, and only after hearing Long Izumo hang up the phone, he pulled the door and walked out.

"Liu Xiao, do you have something to do with me?" Long Izumo sighed and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk!"

Liu Xiao looked at Long Izumo's face a little wrong, "Is something wrong again?"

Long Izumo nodded, "It's basically settled, Huang Xing's people have found a lot of clues in the boss's company and the computer at home. In addition, the police also froze the accounts of these people, all of whom are said to have huge deposits. ”

Liu Xiao let out an "oh" and asked, "Is it really what they got from selling intelligence?"

Long Izumo shook his head, "I didn't say this, but this money is definitely not obtained through normal means." Alas...... I really regret that they have been under my nose for so many years, and I didn't even see them like this!"

When Liu Xiao heard this, it seemed that Huang Xing had not yet explained the specific matters of the case to Long Izumo, but one thing was certain, that is, these people would definitely not be able to escape sanctions, and it seemed that they had to take some time to go to Huang Xing to find out the specific progress of the case. AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT, LIU XIAO REMEMBERED THE BUSINESS HE WAS DOING HERE, AND SAID: "DON'T BE TOO SAD! BY THE WAY, THE PEOPLE FROM RE&KING CAME JUST NOW, AND THEY WANTED TO BUY THE SOFT ALLIANCE, BUT I SCOLDED THEM AND RAN AWAY!"

Long Izumo was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, just scold and run, they are just a small company, and they don't have the strength to acquire the soft alliance!"

"Can I know why you have to sell the soft alliance?" Liu Xiao sighed, "It's really not easy for the soft alliance to have today's situation!"

"Alas......" Long Izumo sighed in addition to speaking, "The soft alliance was developed from scratch, and the original intention of my establishment of the soft alliance at that time was to see that security is the general trend, and second, to find a way out for these outstanding hackers in China." At that time, although the domestic hacker circle was very chaotic, it was not as impetuous as it is today, and many people worshipped hackers and learned hackers, but they did not know where the way out for hackers was. I've seen a lot of talented hackers whose skills are enough to make a name for themselves on the Internet, but in reality, these people often hang out in Internet cafes, or spend their days holding an old computer and eating instant noodles while doing research on hacker techniques. ”

"I was financially okay at the time, so I registered for the Soft Alliance, gathered all these people together, and everyone started their business. The domestic market is not good, we will first move to the foreign market, there is no fame, everyone gathered all their strength, concentrated on studying the vulnerabilities on the system, and finally forced Microsoft to release 26 security patches in a month, and the soft alliance became famous in one fell swoop! These things, I still remember them vividly!" Long Izumo rarely showed a smile, but it was also a wry smile," If you look at it now, the Soft Alliance is no longer the Soft Alliance of the past, and the people are not the people of the past, they use the glamorous identity given to them by the Soft Alliance as a shield, but secretly they do not know how dirty they are. I really regret that when I met the boss, he was an underground hacker, playing some Trojan virus tricks, and I thought he was just forced by life to get here. ”

"I admire his skills very much, I am also convinced that I was defeated under his hands, I recruited him to the soft alliance, I regard it as my most intimate friend, I handed over the soft alliance to him, he promised me to make the soft alliance bigger and stronger, but now..."Long Izumo smashed the table hatefully, "My heart is dead, the soft alliance has also completed his mission, and now hackers, there is no longer only a way out for the soft alliance, and they don't need the soft alliance anymore!"

After hearing this, Liu Xiao sighed, it turned out that this was the case, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Actually, you are wrong, the completion of the old mission of the Soft Alliance is also the beginning of the new mission." When I graduated, my first choice was to join the soft alliance, because this is the temple of hackers, where more than half of the best hackers in the country are gathered, he is also the pride of Chinese hackers, and the spirit of Chinese hackers. THE REASON WHY I WANT TO SCOLD RE&KING TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THIS, I WILL NOT ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF CHINESE HACKERS TO BE SOLD!"

When Long Izumo heard Liu Xiao's words, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and said a few times "Okay", "It seems that I am not a complete loser yet!"

"So, you're not going to sell the soft alliance?" Liu Xiao was a little happy.

"No!" Long Izumo shook his head with a smile, "The old mission of the Soft Alliance has been completed, that is, my mission has been completed, I am now traveling overseas all the year round, and I can't focus all my energy on the Soft Alliance, so this incident happened, and I have gradually become a little unfamiliar with the hacker circle, and the people I know and interact with are all old people, so I need to find a new successor for the new mission of the Soft Alliance." ”

Long Izumo paused and looked at Liu Xiao, "Liu Xiao, I will leave this matter to you, I hope you will find a strong and stable pillar for the spirit of Chinese hackers!"

"Uh......" Liu Xiao Khan, he said it in vain, this persuasion came and went, and he went back to the original point.
