The security guard glanced at Liu Xiao with disdain, ignored Liu Xiao anymore, and turned to the other side.

Liu Xiao didn't get angry with him, he went straight to the 11th floor in the elevator, and finally found Yicheng Software Company in the innermost part of the 11th floor, pushed the door in, and found that the office was not large, densely packed with desks, and about fifty or sixty people were crowded.

"Who are you looking for?"

Liu Xiao looked back and found that Yicheng Software also had receptionists, and receptionists from other companies arranged the front of the door, so that guests could see it as soon as they came in, but because of the limited office environment here, this receptionist was located next to the door, so Liu Xiao didn't find it at first glance when he came in.

"I'm looking for your Mr. Li!" Liu Xiao said and took out his business card, "This is my business card!"

"Okay, please come with me!" The receptionist glanced at it and was about to take Liu Xiao to see Li Yicheng.

Who knew that before the receptionist took a step, Liu Xiao had already heard someone shouting his name, and when he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw Li Yicheng standing at a desk waving to him, "Liu Xiao, why are you here!", as he spoke, Li Yicheng walked over to this side!

"Brother Li, hello, long time no see!" Liu Xiao also walked over there!

Li Yicheng and Liu Xiao shook hands tightly, "I want to die, why don't you come and say hello, I'll pick you up!"

"It's not an outsider, so what are you doing politely!" Liu Xiao looked around at Li Yicheng's company and said, "How is it?

"It's hard to say!" Li Yicheng sighed, and then smiled: "You see that I have a small place here, and there is no place to sit, let's go to the conference room and talk slowly." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xiao smiled, followed Li Yicheng, and entered a small conference room next to him.

Li Yicheng poured water for Liu Xiao, "My conditions here are not as good as your soft alliance, let you see the joke!"

"Who of us laughs at whom, really, isn't it all the same!" Liu Xiao said this, but he didn't feel good in his heart, this Li Yicheng is the first person to fight against viruses in China, and he has single-handedly supported the big antivirus software vendors in China, but today he has let his past employer force him to nest in this place, and he doesn't even have his own office, and he has to go to work with his employees.

"You kid, I've read the newspapers, and the news on the Internet, it can be said that the soft alliance became famous in a battle at the Black Hat Conference, and it also gave us a long face in the Chinese security community!" Li Yicheng sat down with a smile, "When I saw you in Haicheng, I knew that you kid would definitely be able to do something in the future!"

"Don't mention this, this is not a good thing, the tree is a big move, so far, the soft alliance has not only not reaped any benefits, but also caused a lot of trouble!" Liu Xiao smiled and waved his hand, "Just yesterday, those security agencies in Europe and the United States joined forces to attack the soft alliance!"

"I've heard about this too!" Li Yicheng frowned, "What's the matter, have you come up with any way, you can't let them do this!"

"It's okay!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Forgive him a few loaches, he can't make any big waves!"

"Let me tell you, you must pay attention to this matter, you can't let them ruin the reputation of the Soft Alliance like this, you don't know the power of this public opinion, but I will suffer in this regard!" Li Yicheng said, with a long sigh.

"Is it that the software is not selling well?" asked Liu Xiao.

"You're not an outsider, so I have nothing to hide!" Li Yicheng looked at Liu Xiao, "How can I say it, before I got the sales license, I was barely able to maintain it here, but after I got the sales license, my life is not as good as before." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Liu Xiao was shocked, even if there were a few antivirus software blocking it, it shouldn't be mixed up like this, "What's going on, tell me!"

"I got the sales license, I have to sell the product!" Li Yicheng looked at Liu Xiao, "Previously, the software of those antivirus software vendors sold more than 100 sets, and our products were not well-known, so I thought about being cheaper and selling it for 50, but I didn't think that our advertisements had just been launched, and they all collectively reduced the price, and our products were at the same price." It's you, one is familiar to you, and the other is something you haven't seen, all at the same price, which one do you choose?"

"This trick is indeed a bit ruthless!" Liu Xiao nodded, it was a matter of safety, no one would take risks, of course they would choose brands that knew the roots.

"If only they were like this!" Li Yicheng sighed, and continued: "No matter where our advertisements are posted, they will immediately post their own advertisements next to us, so that the effect of our advertisements will not come out at all." They also hired a large number of gunmen, who said all over the Internet that our products were bad, that their products were good, and that users had never used them, and that they were so alarmist that they didn't dare to buy our products at all. They also collectively blackmailed those software agents, not allowing agents to sell our products, all software physical sales stores, our products can't be purchased at all, and now they can only rely on online sales, just like that, they still have to make trouble, either send gunmen to come and spread rumors, or attack our website from time to time!"

"Damn!" Liu Xiao was furious, these guys were worse than the loaches.

"After getting the sales license, we took all the money in the company's account to advertise, and borrowed a lot for this, but now it's good, the money is all wasted, and the software sales are only a few thousand yuan per month, which can't support the company's operation at all, if it doesn't get better, I have to close the door and go bankrupt!" Li Yicheng pounded the table hatefully.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Liu Xiao patted Li Yicheng on the shoulder, "I came here this time to be a salesman for you, and I will definitely sell your product." ”

Li Yicheng glared at Liu Xiao, "You are a good leader of the soft alliance, come to me to be a salesman, don't joke with me, okay!"

"I'm not joking with you, I'm serious!" Liu Xiao looked serious.

"You really didn't do it in the soft league?" Li Yicheng asked.

"Do!" Liu Xiao sweated, this Li Yicheng's heart is really real, he said that he would be a salesman, and he really believed it, "If you want to do it over there, I will also help you sell your products." ”

"Then what can you do, tell me quickly!" Li Yicheng grabbed Liu Xiao's hand, "As long as you can sell our products, it will be a great favor for me, and it will also save the lives of dozens of people in my company! You don't know, these people in my company are brought out by me, that is a top power, no matter where they go, they must be better than me here, but they refuse to leave for me, to be honest, if it is not for the support of these people, I will definitely not be able to persist today." ”

"Brother Li, don't get excited!" Liu Xiao held down Li Yicheng and said, "That's the case, our soft alliance has always wanted to launch a personal anti-invasion and anti-espionage system, and this matter may have been mentioned to you by Brother Wei Gang!"

Li Yicheng nodded, "Wei Gang mentioned it!"

"I was thinking about cooperating with you at the time, but we had some troubles with the soft alliance before, so this system was delayed, but now it's okay, we will launch this system in a few days. Liu Xiao smiled, "Although we currently position this system as anti-intrusion and anti-espionage, this is only temporary, and we will build this system into a world-class personal security platform in the future." ”

"Security platform?" Li Yicheng was a little puzzled.

"It's a personal security platform!" Liu Xiao smiled, "There are several sets of security platforms in the world, all of which are designed by large security agencies for enterprises, and individual users can't experience it at all, so I want to create a set of security platforms for individual users, which can provide individual users with a full range of security services, such as anti-espionage, anti-intrusion, anti-virus, software vulnerability detection, system security settings, data backup and recovery, real-time security rescue, and so on." ”

"Then what do you mean?" Li Yicheng didn't quite understand what Liu Xiao meant.

"Since we want to be a security platform, then anti-virus is indispensable, but we have not set foot in this field before, and it is too late to rebuild an anti-virus system. Although we have signed a short-term cooperation agreement with Brother Wei Gang, this is not a long-term solution, and we hope to cooperate with an anti-virus system with forward-looking thinking. Liu Xiao looked at Li Yicheng with a smile.

"You're going to work with us?"

"That's right! Brother Li's anti-virus concept of active defense is relatively advanced, and the technical core is now basically mature, plus you also have your own virus monitoring network, I think our cooperation is the most ideal!" Liu Xiao said.

"Hehe......" Li Yicheng smiled, "Then how do you want to cooperate?"

"I think the most ideal way to cooperate is to acquire your Yicheng software!" Liu Xiao looked at Li Yicheng and smiled, "But this company is Brother Li's hard work for many years, and I know that you will definitely not agree, so forget about this acquisition." ”

"Alas, my company is about to run out of business, where can I still pick and choose!" Li Yicheng sighed.

"Forget it, let's talk about this cooperation!" Liu Xiao smiled, in fact, before he came, he originally planned to acquire Yicheng Software, which would be more conducive to the implementation of his future plan, but after seeing Li Yicheng, he couldn't open his mouth again," Some time ago, the domestic media frantically hyped our soft alliance, we just want to take advantage of this heat this time, launch our personal system, when the time comes, we will hype it ourselves, plus this system is free, should be able to occupy the individual user market soon, we are ready to add a link to download your products in this system. ”

"This method is good!" Li Yicheng smiled, "Your personal system will definitely be popular, many people are waiting to experience it, as long as you promote our products in this set of products, then our publicity problem will be completely solved." ”

"Brother Li, don't worry, wait until I'm done!" Liu Xiao smiled, "I want you to make a soft alliance version of antivirus software, in fact, it is just to add a package to your product, and when the time comes, as long as you download and install our system, you can download a product of yours through the link in the system, and you can try it for free for one year." ”

"Ours are also free?" Li Yicheng's eyes widened, and he shook his head again and again, "That's not good, your soft alliance can support it, but we can't support it, let alone a year, it's just a week, then we have to go out of business!"

"Hehe, you let me finish!" Liu Xiao smiled, "I did this, there is consideration, you think about it, as long as the user downloads our product, you can get an additional set of your products, in this way, anti-invasion and anti-virus are all together, this is for an ordinary user, the fastest light fire book city wants you to access his most basic security needs can be said to be all met, they do not need to buy other security products, which greatly compresses the living space of other security software vendors." Didn't you say that they lowered the price to compete with you, then now that we are all free, I don't believe they dare to be free!"

Li Yicheng didn't speak, if he had money in his hand, he would fight with those guys like this, but the problem is that not only does his company have no money in his account, but also owes a lot of money.

Liu Xiao knew what Li Yicheng was thinking, and said: "You can rest assured, in this year, all the expenses of your company, including employee salaries, administrative expenses, research expenses, and equipment purchases, will all be paid by our soft alliance. ”

Li Yicheng still didn't speak, pondering there.

Liu Xiao waited for a long time, and before Li Yicheng's reply, he was a little anxious, and said: "What else are you considering, are you afraid that you won't have the money to pay back to the soft alliance at that time, or do you not believe that our soft alliance can make this personal security platform bigger?"

"No, Liu Xiao, don't think about it!" Li Yicheng smiled, "I just think this matter is a bit big, I have to think about it, I have to be responsible for these people in the company!"

"Brother Li, I have to say two words to you!" Liu Xiao stood up and looked at Li Yicheng: "In terms of technology, you are definitely a well-deserved big brother in the domestic anti-virus industry, there is no doubt about this; You are reluctant to put down the chips, for fear that you will lose everything, but in the end, you are not forced by those software vendors to have no way out, and you have no money left, but your advanced anti-virus technology is still pinched to death in your hands!"

"This ......" Li Yicheng wanted to refute a few words, it was not that he didn't work hard, it was that those people did everything.

Liu Xiao interrupted him, "You don't have to explain, when I came up just now, I met a security guard downstairs, don't look at you are still in this building, but even the security guard of the building looks down on you, he thinks that your company has no future, and it will be a matter of time before he moves out from here, so he doesn't even bother to put a company's name tag on you." You go to our soft alliance to see, our soft alliance is not the largest company in that building, but our sign is posted in the first position of the building, that is, the soft alliance was sued by more than 500 joint companies to the court, everyone outside thinks that our soft alliance is not good, our brand is still posted in the first position, the security guards in the building, and even the cleaners, but whenever they see someone coming to the soft alliance, they must have personally sent people to the door of our company, why?" Liu Xiao patted the table, " Because they believe that our soft alliance will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties, not only can they tide over the difficulties, but also will soar in the future, they do this in the hope that when that day comes, we can take them to share the benefits together. Now the soft alliance is a company that exudes self-confidence everywhere, if you look at you here, although the skeleton of your company is still there, but the soul of your company has been lost!"

After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he went to the chair and got angry, he said a little excited, he didn't expect Li Yicheng to shrink his hands and feet like this, anyway, there is nothing left, so what are you afraid of, not to mention that there is a soft alliance for you to carry the bottom, but he just doesn't dare to take this risk, no wonder Yicheng Software has advanced technology for so many years, but it has not been able to get up.

Li Yicheng sat there, his eyes straight, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Xiao saw that the fire was a little bigger, and he slapped the table and stood up, "Forget it, I don't embarrass you, I'm not here today, I'm leaving!" After Liu Xiao finished speaking, he kicked away the chair and prepared to leave.

"You stop!" Li Yicheng also patted the table and stood up, and said: "You're right, anyway, I, Li Yicheng, have nothing, it's already extremely bad, no matter how bad it is, it's not bad, I'll do it with you!***, I'm not for anything else, I just want to make those people who force me all day long uncomfortable, I see what they are going to do! You say, what else do we need to do!"

Liu Xiao was overjoyed, he opened his handbag and took out a document from it, "Everything that should be done is written on it, I will give you a week's time, you first optimize your product again, you must do it without mistakes, and then I will give you another month, you start to set up this virus real-time rescue and virus encyclopedia module, and in the future, all the virus-related parts of our security platform will be responsible for your company, and I will let the soft alliance first call you the first phase of the funds first!"

Li Yicheng took it and flipped it over, and said, "No problem, I promise to do it according to your requirements!" It's just that I don't understand it a little!" Li Yicheng looked at Liu Xiao, "The money of the soft alliance didn't fall from the sky, you invested such a big capital, is it just for this free security platform?"

"Of course not!" Liu Xiao smiled, "I am the person in charge of the Soft Alliance, I have to be responsible for the performance of the Soft Alliance, and I will not do anything that is not profitable." ”

"Then I don't understand, where do your profits come from!" Li Yicheng shook his head, unable to understand.

"Want to know?" Liu Xiao looked at Li Yicheng with a smile, and then looked at his watch, "If you want to know, Brother Li, you have to invite me to dinner!"

Li Yicheng sweated profusely, and then said with a smile: "You see I'm confused, I invite me to invite, I invite you to eat the most authentic Thunder City flavor!haha!", with Li Yicheng's laughter, the tense atmosphere created by Liu Xiao's anger just now suddenly disappeared.

Liu Xiao sat down and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't go for free to seize the market, my strategic level, your active defense, that is currently the world's leading security technology, even if we rely on legitimate competition, we may not be able to win the market." But then again, the domestic security market is currently very immature, but also very non-standardized, the user's security awareness is not high, unwilling to pay for security, many security agencies are also not thinking of reforming technology, for a little vested interests, desperately blocking new technology, in this case, to take a free strategy is a good policy!"

"Tell me, what is the best strategy!" Li Yicheng also sat down.

"He can promote the rapid maturity of this market!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Actually, I originally planned to take him for free for three and five years, since I have done it, I will make an effect, I will either force all those companies that hinder progress to death to him, and completely sweep them out of this market, or I will drive them crazy, I will force them to constantly innovate their products and technologies." If they can create better security products, so that users would rather spend money to buy their products than use our free products, then I, Liu Xiao, will take the initiative to give them this market!" Liu Xiao said this, with a long sigh, "I don't want to kill anyone, but the market will mature one day, this is inevitable, no one can stop it, if the market matures on the day, our technology can not keep up with the trend, then we are giving this market to those foreign security companies." ”

Li Yicheng nodded, what Liu Xiao said seemed to have some truth, but he quickly came back to his senses, "No, you haven't said where the money came from!"

"If we occupy the domestic individual user market, then we have a large number of users in our hands, which is a resource and wealth in itself, but this is only a small amount of money, and we still have to rely on security to make money. The domestic market is not good, then there are foreign markets, as long as we gain a foothold in the relatively mature European and American markets, the money earned can completely make up for our losses in China. Liu Xiao smiled.

"Foreign markets?" Li Yicheng's eyes lit up, "Are you ready to enter the European and American markets?"

"Hehe, there's no way, everyone is shouting over there, if we don't go over, it's a bit too much!" Liu Xiao smiled.

"You kid must have an idea!haha!" Li Yicheng saw Liu Xiao's confident face, and knew that he must have a plan, so he went over and grabbed Liu Xiao, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner, let's talk while eating." ”
