After only reading the title of the document, Liu Xiao became interested and quickly returned to his office.

This document is a copy, not an original, but the content in it has a great relationship with the soft alliance. Russia is ready to phase out the military and government anti-virus systems that have been used for more than ten years after six months, this document is a meeting record of the Russian military and government, and the two sides have reached a unified understanding on this matter, and they will find a better anti-virus system to replace the current products within six months.

Liu Xiao put down this document, a little puzzled, why did Steko give this document to himself, could it be that they want to match up with the Soft Alliance to take over this business? Liu Xiao felt that there was only this explanation, Steko had a deep government background, and they could completely act as a stepping stone for the Russian government to find the most suitable person to do this work for their government. The Russian government's pathfinder stone cannot be only one Stepo, they will have many spokespersons to do this, but Stepo gave this material to himself, and it is very likely that Stepco's spokesperson chose the soft alliance.

"Why did Russia suddenly decide to eliminate the 'Big Spider System'?", Liu Xiao smiled helplessly, "Big Spider" is the name of the anti-virus system used by the Russian military and government, this system has been in service for Russia for about fifteen years, so many people have mentioned it before, saying that this system is too old and needs to be eliminated, but the Russians can't move it, and they are stunned to use this system for fifteen years, and they have created a myth of the service life of a safety product. The reason why the big spider system has been in service for so long is because of its steady performance, it has also been used in the network of many large-scale government activities such as the Russian presidential election, there has never been a major security incident, I haven't heard of anything happening to it recently, I haven't been able to think about it for fifteen years, why do the Russians suddenly remember to eliminate it now?

The person in charge of the Big Spider System is also a legend in the security community, and he is the same era as Morris Jr. in the United States, but the two have completely different concepts. Morris Jr. created the most destructive virus of the year, and then served as the national cyber security adviser of the United States, and began to study and deploy cyber warfare and virus warfare, which led to the success of the US cyber warfare in the Gulf War, and made everyone in the world realize the power of cyber warfare. As the biggest competitor of the United States, the Russians were deeply disturbed, and they chose another genius - Danilov, Danilov formed his own team and began to study the information security needs in future wars, thus giving birth to the Big Spider anti-virus system, since then the Russian regime has undergone earth-shaking changes, the center of power has changed several times, but the Big Spider system has always served in the core network of Russia.

Although Liu Xiao felt that this matter came a little strangely, he still decided to prepare early, if this is really the case, the soft alliance strives to win this business, it is definitely a new attempt. The soft alliance can design a high-end anti-virus system for Russia, and naturally it can also be designed for other countries, and this customized development model can quickly open up the dilemma that the soft alliance currently has no big profit growth points.

Liu Xiao directly broadcast Li Yicheng's phone, to do an anti-virus system, you must also rely on Yicheng software, Liu Xiao just told Li Yicheng that the big spider system was going to be eliminated by Russia, and Li Yicheng jumped up over there.

"Wouldn't it? Where did you get the news?" Li Yicheng refused to believe that the news was true, "The big spider system is going to be eliminated, this is said every year, but I have never seen the Russian side really do it!"

"This time it may be true!" Liu Xiao smiled, "I have exact news, I want to consult your meaning?"

"What do I mean?" Li Yicheng didn't understand.

"After the big spider is eliminated, we naturally need new and better products to go up, do you think it is possible for us to win this business?" asked Liu Xiao.

Li Yicheng didn't reply for a long time, it seems that he was thinking about this problem, before the strategic level, Russia has never purchased safety products produced by other countries, and anti-virus has always been Russia's strong point, Li Yicheng has never been in contact with the big spider system, so he doesn't dare to jump to conclusions, "This is not good, but if you want to do it, we can give it a try!"

"Then you should come to Haicheng!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Let's study this matter together, someone from the Russian side will come over to explain this matter in detail!"

"Okay then!" Li Yicheng pondered for a moment, then agreed to Liu Xiao, "I'll arrange the work here, and I'll rush to Haicheng tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

"Okay!" Liu Xiao hung up the phone with a smile, at that time, the soft alliance sponsored Yicheng software, it was definitely a good deal, and now the negotiations with Microsoft are almost underway, once reached, the two sides will build a global virus rescue platform within a year, 24 hours a day to provide the most timely security services for Internet users around the world. The most important thing is that SoftAlliance can follow behind Microsoft and learn a lot of experience, and sooner or later SoftAlliance will have to establish a global business network.

Put down the phone, Liu Xiao took out a note from his pocket, on which is the contact information of ind written by Qian Wanneng, Liu Xiao drank too much last night, went back and fell asleep, D and Qian Wanneng's contact information is obviously much simpler, Qian Wanneng only needs to send an email to a mailbox, and then pick up the phone and dial a number, hang up after four rings, and IND will take the initiative to contact Qian Wanneng.

Liu Xiao remembered the mailbox address and phone number, memorized it a few times, and then lit the note in the ashtray.

Liu Xiao was going to send an email to IND, but what to write in the email, Liu Xiao hadn't thought about it, how to deal with IND, he didn't have a trace of planning, and Liu Xiao didn't have any understanding of IND except for some literal introductions. The only thing I had personal contact with was this summit of country F, how did ind hack the computer, Liu Xiao is now unsolvable, and the mysterious mosquito, was it made by ind, or was it put in by country F, all of this is a mystery!

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Liu Xiao was thinking about it, his mind was full of ind, and the phone in front of him suddenly rang, which startled Liu Xiao, "Damn, it won't be ind calling, do they know that I want to contact them?"

After settling down, Liu Xiao picked up the phone, "Hello, I'm Liu Xiao!"

"Liu Xiao, it's me, Gu Zhendong!" Gu Zhendong's voice came from the phone.

Liu Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter how powerful the ind was, he wouldn't be able to predict the prophet, so he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Gu, is there something?"

"What you asked me to do last time, now it has a result!" Gu Zhendong's tone was full of smiles, "Someone from country F contacted me and asked how many sets of products we can provide, they need a large amount!"

"Hehe, then you can do what we discussed before!" Liu Xiao was also overjoyed, the matter he promised to Hua Wei before, because of the change in the situation, failed to fulfill in the end, this time I wanted to give Hua Wei a chance to make money, which can be regarded as compensation, but I didn't expect to kill another Bobby McKinnon in the oblique field, fortunately, everything was settled, and finally returned to his own calculations.

Gu Zhendong sighed with emotion, "It's always in vain with your light, alas!", Gu Zhendong said this, probably a little lost, half a year ago, the soft alliance was still an insignificant opponent, Hua Wei could twist him to death with a clap of his hands, and now Hua Wei's security business is all supported by the soft alliance.

"Actually, it's the soft alliance that stained your light!" Liu Xiao smiled, "The soft alliance finally tied those big consortia together, and won a relatively stable time, we don't want those consortia to get out of the way so quickly, as long as they don't recover their costs one day, they have to continue to be tied to us." ”

"Oh?" Gu Zhendong was surprised, "That's what you think?" In Gu Zhendong's view, businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, if Liu Xiao insists that it is for the interests of his collaborators to let Huawei do this, Gu Zhendong will feel that Liu Xiao is hypocritical, even naïve, but Liu Xiao said this, Gu Zhendong's sense of loss in his heart was a lot smaller, thinking that your kid is also for his own little Jiujiu, Gu Zhendong felt that it would be more secure and reliable to cooperate with this kind of businessman he was familiar with.

"By the way, last time in Thunder City, I didn't cause you any trouble, right?"

"Don't mention it, it's all over. At first, the city government was a little blamed, saying that you should not be invited, but then they also figured it out, you said the points, are very sharp, I heard that the city government is recently studying, to introduce a series of support policies, but also to relax the financial restrictions of domestic high-tech enterprises. Gu Zhendong smiled, "I think you are right, if the city can really change its concept, it can be regarded as revitalizing the economic pattern of the entire Leicheng, which is much better than pulling a few foreign companies to invest!"

"That's good, that's good!" Liu Xiao smiled, "I've been worried about this for a long time, and I still want to apologize to you!"

"Okay, I won't talk to you more, I'll arrange the matter of country F!" After Gu Zhendong finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a smile.

When Fang Guokun came to the unit, the first thing he did was to go to the laboratory, and the people here had not closed their eyes for a day and a night, staying in the laboratory to study the computer.

"How is it?" Fang Guokun looked at everyone, "Did you find anything?"

Everyone shook their heads, and it seemed that they had gained nothing.

"Don't you look like this!" Fang Guokun cheered everyone up, "If IND is so easy to deal with, then he is not IND, but I believe that sooner or later we will catch IND's tail, because we have resources in our hands that others don't have, and we have mastered three machines that IND has invaded, and it is only a matter of time before we find out the traces of IND!"

"Yes!" shouted the crowd.

"Okay, let's put this thing there, everyone hurry up and rest!" Fang Guokun gave an order to everyone, paced out of the laboratory, and he called Xiao Wu over, "You arrange it, send that computer back to Liu Xiao!"

"Send it back?" Xiao Wu was very surprised, "We finally moved over, and we haven't got anything out yet, why do we have to send him back!"

"If we can find out something, we should have found it out a long time ago!" Fang Guokun sighed, "Our technical strength is still not enough, or our research direction is not in the right direction, if we continue, we will still gain nothing." Besides, the computer was originally won back by Liu Xiao, and we can only borrow it for study, and sooner or later we will have to return it to him! If he can let us study it first, it will already give us a lot of face, and if we can't borrow it well and repay it, it will be difficult to get any help from Liu Xiao in the future!"

"I understand!" Xiao Wu gritted his teeth, "Then I'll arrange it!", after taking two steps, Xiao Wu stood down again, turned around and said: "By the way, that Qian Wanneng is here again, and went directly to Haicheng to find Liu Xiao, the two drank a lot of wine in a restaurant, and early this morning, Qian Wanneng left the country again!"

"Oh, I know!" Fang Guokun frowned and thought about it, Qian Wanneng came to Haicheng to find Liu Xiao at this time, the timing was a little strange, there should be something, "You go to deal with Liu Xiao's matter first, since Qian Wanneng has already left, forget it!"

Li Yicheng rushed to Haicheng in the afternoon of the next day, and Liu Xiao asked the foreigner from Stepo to have dinner with him, and by the way, he inquired about the affairs of Russia.

The dinner was also set at the same place where he and Qian Wanneng ate that day, and even the private room did not change, Liu Xiao and Li Yicheng arrived early, and the two talked about some details of cooperation with Microsoft, and after waiting for less than ten minutes, Steko's foreigner also arrived.

The three of them sat down separately, and after three rounds of drinking, Liu Xiao got to the point, "I have read the materials you sent that day, but there are some questions, I have to ask you!"

The foreigner was very happy, "Mr. Liu just asks, I know everything!"

"That's good!" Liu Xiao nodded, "I'm very puzzled, your country's big spider anti-virus system was created by Niklov, and there has never been any major security accident for more than ten years, why did you suddenly mention this matter this time?"

The foreigner sighed, "The Big Spider anti-virus system is a pride of our Russian security people, when I saw that material, I also consulted the headquarters on this issue, there are probably two reasons, the first reason is also related to the soft alliance!"

"Oh?" Liu Xiao was a little surprised, "Please speak!"

"A complete security system, not only anti-virus, but also anti-espionage and anti-intrusion and other aspects, all the previous work, are completed by the big spider system, and then we gradually tried to assemble the soft alliance's policy-level firewall, to slowly eliminate the relevant functional parts of the big spider system, in terms of anti-espionage and anti-intrusion, our security performance has been greatly improved, but this has caused an extreme imbalance in the entire system, a comparison between the two sides, the backwardness of the anti-virus system will immediately appear," Foreigners think it's very interesting, "One fist is big, one fist is small, the advantage of anti-invasion and anti-espionage is also dragged down by the backwardness of the anti-virus system, but it is impossible for us to go back and re-enable the anti-invasion system of the big spider, so it has become a top priority to design an anti-virus system that exactly matches the strategic level!"

Liu Xiao nodded, this is indeed a problem, the same as the barrel theory, as long as there is a short plank, the water in the barrel will flow away, "What about the first reason?"

"A week ago, our strategic system was breached......"

"What?" Liu Xiao suddenly stood up, "Why didn't you tell us!", the news was obviously too sudden.

"Mr. Liu, please listen to me!" Steko's foreigner signaled Liu Xiao not to get excited, "The problem is not in your company's strategic-level products, but in the big spider anti-virus system, the other party took advantage of the loopholes in the anti-virus system to release a spy virus, stealing a large number of accounts and passwords from our confidential network servers, but in the end, when the theft was carried out, the strategic-level products called the police in time, so that we avoided great losses!" This is the most serious spy intrusion incident that has occurred since we installed the strategic-level system, and the other party's methods are very clever, almost deceiving the strategic-level system, but it fell short at the last moment!"

Liu Xiao sat down slowly, "The lack of recognition of virus behavior by strategic-level products is also a big shortcoming!"

"Does Mr. Liu know who the attacker is?" said Stepco's foreigner looked at Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao shook his head, "I don't know, please say!"

"It's IND!" said Steko's foreigner with certainty, "After they failed, they left us a message and activated all the spy viruses, causing our network to almost crash!"

"Is it IND?" Liu Xiao was a little surprised, because he felt that this was not IND's style of doing things, and they had no reason to expose themselves again after failure, which was a big taboo. Besides, Liu Xiao has never heard of IND failing, and the information they want has always been easy to capture, and they don't know it. But Steko's foreigner said so, and Liu Xiao couldn't say it, but he secretly kept an eye on it.

"After this incident, the senior management in charge of cyber security intended to upgrade the anti-virus system completely, and conveyed the intention to several large chambers of commerce in China, so that we could find and find suitable candidates. A few days ago, at the meeting of the World Information Security Forum, the soft alliance made it clear that it would pursue the IND organization, which made our people at Steko very admirable, and the soft alliance is a security agency with a sense of morality and responsibility, and we are willing to cooperate with such an organization!"

Liu Xiao laughed and raised his glass, "Thank you for your trust and support to our soft alliance!", after speaking, he drank it all.

The foreigner of Skike had to have a drink with him, and said: "We at Swift think that it is the most suitable for SoftAlliance to take over this project, and it must be completely matched with strategic-level products to form a coordinated whole, which can only be done by SoftAlliance!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiao already roughly understood what the other party meant, he shook his head and smiled, "We are very interested in this business, but we can't make a decision yet, firstly, we don't understand the big spider system, and secondly, we don't understand the network situation and real needs of Russia, maybe the anti-virus system we make is not as good as the big spider system!"

Stepo paused and said: "This is indeed a problem, so let's go back and feed back Mr. Liu's meaning to the headquarters, let the headquarters arrange it, and let you first understand the big spider system." After understanding the system, you can decide whether to do this business, and if you are willing to do it, someone will naturally send specific requirements to your company at that time!"

"Okay, that's it!" Liu Xiao raised his glass again, and the three of them had nothing to talk about after that, and they broke up after chatting for a while.

Back at home, Liu Xiao washed his face, and when he was a little sober, he turned on the computer, he always didn't believe in what Stepco said about the ind madness, so he wanted to consult with Treading Snow without a trace, after all, Treading Snow Without a Trace knows more about IND than himself.

Liu Xiao said his suspicions, and after about three minutes, the news of stepping on the snow without a trace came back, "Your suspicion is right, but if IND wants to steal secrets, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, I can penetrate the strategic level to invade your machine, and IND can also do it." ”

Liu Xiao then remembered this, the level of the wild goose gramophonic is no worse than that of stepping on the snow without a trace, and the snow without a trace passed through his strategic level silently last time, so the wild goose gramophon can naturally do this. If IND wants to steal Russian secrets, he doesn't need to start with the weakest anti-virus system at all, and he will not necessarily fail if he starts directly from the strategic level!

"Strange!" Liu Xiao pinched his forehead, was Steko's people lying, or did someone take on the name of IND, Liu Xiao drank a little wine, his brain was a little messy, and it was more likely that he couldn't tell that side for a while.

"This is definitely not done by IND, but if someone really takes the name of IND, or wants to do something with IND, then it will definitely not escape IND's monitoring, I think it will be a week at most, and there will be a result of this matter, you just need to pay attention to it!"

When Liu Xiao saw it, he was immediately enlightened, and hurriedly replied: "I understand!"

Also, you publicly stated at the F-country summit that you want to pursue IND, judging from IND's low-key style in the past, I think he will probably not really compete with the soft alliance, but you still have to be prepared, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes. Moreover, with your current level, the matter of pursuing IND can only be powerless, I advise you to stay still, let alone take the initiative to tease them!" Treading Xue Wuxian sent a message, and was afraid that Liu Xiao would take it as a deaf ear, so he told again: "You must remember my words!"

"I remember!" Liu Xiao replied, he didn't even know where the IND was, how to talk about taking the initiative to tease, he got a contact information from Qian Wanneng, but he didn't have any evidence of the IND invasion in his hand, what to tease and get mad?

After a long time, Treading Snow without a Trace sent another message, "Wait for a week, if there is no response from any side, then there is only one possibility, this matter was done by IND!Then you have to be careful, this is IND is giving you a set, I will give you a copy of my electronic identity seal, it may be helpful at that time!", Treading Snow Without a Trace seemed to be afraid of Liu Xiao's verbosity, and at the same time the message was sent, he went offline and left.

Liu Xiao found at this time that there was another thing on his desktop, but it was not a military flag, and the icon of the document was very retro, it was that kind of Chinese painting style, which was probably the electronic identity seal that Treading Snow Wuxian said!

Liu Xiao was a little depressed, stepping on the snow without a trace even thought of the worst plan for himself, he gave himself this identity seal, just to make IND have some scruples when he attacked the soft alliance. Liu Xiao is very unwilling, since his debut, except for stepping on the snow without a trace, he really hasn't put anyone in his eyes, this is not pride, it is Liu Xiao who has a strong spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones, but now he really has nothing to do with IND.

"Ahhhh

Liu Xiao vented himself for a while, and then calmed down a little, leaning back in the chair while sulking, and at the same time began to ponder the problem that he couldn't get old anymore and had been pondering for three years. Liu Xiao remembered the last time he chatted with Treading Snow without a Trace, and the sentence that Treading Snow Without a Trace said, "No matter how good the rules are, there are loopholes, and no matter how advanced the system is, there will be flaws", but Liu Xiao really doesn't know where to start to find this vulnerability, from the basic communication protocol, or the core of the system, or other aspects, there are too many rules now, just the basic communication protocol, it is divided into many aspects, any aspect may have loopholes, how can I know which aspect of Treading Snow Without a Trace and Yan Gramophon are using? Walking on the snow without a trace also said that Liu Xiao was only one small step away from him, but Liu Xiao never knew where to take this step!

As before, Liu Xiao still couldn't figure it out, and the last punch smashed on the keyboard, sighing: "Only one step away, only one step away!", after speaking, he was about to turn off the computer and sleep, his eyes fell on the chat record just now, Liu Xiao suddenly came to a little inspiration, stepping on the snow without a trace said that he could penetrate the strategic level of fire protection, and the wild goose could also penetrate.

"Is this a little commonality between the two?" Liu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, did that penetrate the policy-level firewall, and everyone's strength should be closer? Liu Xiao thought of this, and suddenly became a little excited, wanting to find loopholes in thousands of rules and protocols, the difficulty is no less than finding a needle in a haystack, it is a matter of pure luck. But if you want to find vulnerabilities in a strategy-level product, the first is to have a clear object, and the second is to fully understand the core of the strategy-level product, and it should not be a problem to find something beyond the rules, sooner or later.

"Damn!" Liu Xiao slapped the keyboard, turned off the phone and went to sleep, "Starting tomorrow, start from the strategic level!"

Walking into the company in the morning, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Liu Xiao saw the familiar box again, and there were several people with cold faces standing next to the box.

The MM at the front desk saw Liu Xiao and hurriedly walked over, "This is our director!"

"I'm Liu Xiao!" Liu Xiao glanced at the people, "Are you here to return my computer?"

One of them, the person in charge, stood up, "Hello, Mr. Liu, Mr. Fang specially instructed that this thing must be handed over to you personally!"

Liu Xiao nodded, "Okay, thank you!"

"Mr. Liu should open it and check it, and confirm that it is correct, our errand is also completed!" the man said, and went over to unpack the box.

"No!" Liu Xiao raised his hand, "It's definitely correct!", after saying that, Liu Xiao called a few people in the company and carried the box in.

"Then ......," the man couldn't say anything more, "then we'll take our leave!"

Liu Xiao watched those people walk into the elevator, and then turned around and entered the company. When I opened the office door, I heard the phone on the desk ringing, Liu Xiao took two quick steps and picked up the phone, "Hello, I'm Liu Xiao!"

There were a few light laughs on the phone, and then someone spoke, "Hehe, I heard you're looking for me?"

"Are you?" Liu Xiao didn't react for a while, then he was stunned for a moment, and changed his face and said, "Are you a wild goose?"

"It's Liu Xiao, you can guess who I am so quickly!" was still smiling on the other end of the phone, "You don't have to contact me, I took the initiative to contact you, can you tell me anything?"

When Yan Liusheng said this, Liu Xiao was caught off guard, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"You don't want to tell me that your soft alliance is really going to pursue us ind, right?", Yan laughed loudly, obviously, he was teasing Liu Xiao.

"What I said, I will definitely do it!" Liu Xiao had already stabilized his mood at this time, "Sooner or later, you will think that this is not ridiculous!"

"Hehe......" Yan Liusheng laughed twice, "You are indeed a lot higher than those security experts who are muddy and famous, and it is no wonder that Qian Wanneng and Treading Snow Wuxian have come to negotiate with me, let me not embarrass your soft alliance!"

"Qian Wan can go to you?" Liu Xiao was very surprised, he didn't expect Qian Fat to turn around and go to IND, no wonder this call came so strangely.

"Do you think Qian Wancan will really tell you our contact information?" Yan Liusheng laughed, "The contact information you got in your hand was simply made up by Qian Fat himself, he knew that IND was powerful, and he didn't want you to run into a wall." ”

Liu Xiao was speechless, "Since you know everything, then you don't need to go around ***, what do you mean by coming to me today?"

"Qian Wancan and Treading Snow without a Trace, I can't help but give!" Yan Liusheng put away his laughter, "I called to tell you that I can give you half a year, and within half a year, we will not touch you at all, but after half a year, if you still want to pursue us, then just come, I will not show mercy!"

"I'll say it again, what I Liu Xiao said, I will definitely do it!" Liu Xiao was also provoked, "I'll tell you again, in less than half a year, I will definitely catch your tail, don't blame me for not notifying you in advance!"

"Okay!I'll wait!haha!" Yan finished speaking, laughing and hanging up the phone.
