Chapter 167: Effort always pays off

"I'll tell you more about these later!" Boss Xiong smiled hehehe, and then turned around and asked Gu Zhendong, "Brother Zhendong, what do you have to do when you come to Haicheng this time!"

"Oh, that's it!" Liu Xiao hurriedly put down the list and first told Gu Zhendong what he wanted to do today.

Who knew that Boss Xiong didn't wait for Liu Xiao to finish speaking, he only listened to a rough idea and said: "I have no opinion, I have already said it, you can make your own ideas about anything in the soft alliance, you don't need to consult my opinion, you think it is feasible yourself, then just do it!"

"You have to consult if you should consult!" Liu Xiao smiled, "Anyway, this is the matter, if you don't have any opinions, then I will go back and hand it over to the company for discussion and approval!"

"Okay, you can do it yourself!" Boss Xiong seemed unwilling to get involved in the soft alliance's affairs.

Gu Zhendong on the side laughed, "With such a big industry as the Soft Alliance, Brother Xiong is completely relieved to hand it over to Liu Xiao to do, this trust and open-mindedness make me admire!"

Boss Xiong waved his hand, "Brother Zhendong has won the award, you have to praise, or praise Liu Xiao! It is Liu Xiao who makes people worry-free, although he is a little younger, but he has always done things accurately, I have known him for so long, no matter how big or small, as long as he gave me a package ticket, there is nothing that cannot be done, and it is the wisest choice for the soft alliance to hand over to him to do, if I am allowed to do it, it will definitely not be as good as Liu Xiao." ”

Gu Zhendong couldn't help sighing, "Liu Xiao and I also hate to meet late, if I can know him before you, I don't have to worry so much now!"

"It's the same!" Boss Xiong smiled, "I have this mess under my hands, and the soft alliance will let me worry, you see this Feng Ming's matter, don't you have to bow to me in everything? You and I are the same, born to worry about life!"

Gu Zhendong laughed, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart, everyone is also in the business world, but he is indeed a cut behind Xiong Hanqing in terms of employing people and recognizing people.

"That's right!" Boss Xiong suddenly looked back at Liu Xiao, "Speaking of you, I suddenly remembered something, has Niu Pengen been looking for you in the past two days?"

"No!" Liu Xiao was stunned, "He has something to do with me?"

"I also heard your sister-in-law talk about it, saying that Niu Pengen has often asked you about you at the mahjong table recently, as if there is something to find you, if you are free, you should contact him often!" Boss Xiong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "When you first came to Haicheng, you fell into the grass in Lao Niu's company, who is he, you also know very well, vulgar and greedy for money, but the character is not bad, the last time you had an accident, he also took the initiative to excuse you, although it was self-defeating in the end, but the starting point was for you, such a person is still worth associating." ”

"Brother Niu is good to me, I remember everything, but I've been too busy lately, and I haven't found time to see him. Liu Xiao smiled, "I know his house, I'll go over at night!"

Boss Xiong no longer talked about Liu Xiao's affairs, and concentrated on making a family affair with Gu Zhendong, from business to family, from family to life, and finally to the tea ceremony.

Finally, seeing that the time was not early, Boss Xiong stopped talking, "I booked a banquet in the hotel to pick up the wind for Brother Zhendong, the time is almost up, let's go over!"

As soon as Liu Xiao and Jing Cheng heard about eating, they came to a little spirit, eating is good, but there is something to do, it is better than staying here, sitting can make people uncomfortable to death, and the two stood up without saying a word.

When Gu Zhendong saw it, he had no choice but to stand up, "Then let Brother Xiong break the bank!"

"I'll ask the secretary to lead you over first, I'll sort out the things at hand, and then I'll be there!" Boss Xiong said, walked to the desk and pressed a button, and his secretary then walked in, Boss Xiong gave an order, and the secretary led Gu Zhendong and Jing Cheng out.

"Liu Xiao, you wait a minute!" Boss Xiong held down Liu Xiao.

"What's the matter, Brother Xiong?" Liu Xiao looked back at Boss Xiong.

Boss Xiong didn't speak, just walked to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a large file book from it, then looked back at Liu Xiao and said, "You sit down, I have something to tell you." ”

Liu Xiao wondered for a while, "What's the matter?"

"Actually, I wanted to talk about this matter for a long time, but I haven't found a chance, it just so happened that Gu Zhendong came over today, I will tell you about it!" Boss Xiong sat next to Liu Xiao with a smile, "Do you remember when Huawei wanted to acquire Soft Alliance?"

Liu Xiao nodded, "I remember, but isn't that thing over too soon?" Liu Xiao frowned after speaking, and asked, "Brother Xiong, do you not agree with me to hand over the safety engine to Huawei to use?"

Boss Xiong waved his hand, "I said, as long as you think it's right, then do it, I have no opinion." ”

Liu Xiao was stunned at this time, "Then why did you suddenly mention this matter today?"

Boss Xiong smacked his lips, muttered for a long time, and said: "When Hua Wei found Lao Zhang and proposed to buy Soft Alliance at twice the price, Lao Zhang was a little loose at that time, in fact, I was a little undecided at the time, and I talked to you once." ”

"There is such a thing!" Liu Xiao nodded, becoming more and more confused, how could Boss Xiong turn up these old things today.

"After listening to your words, I went to Fengming to persuade Lao Zhang not to panic and not to sell the soft alliance to Huawei . Boss Xiong tapped his fingers on his thigh, showing that he was thinking about what to say, "After I came back, we held a formal press conference to announce to the outside world that it was Chenhan Group that acquired the soft alliance, not the previous Hi-Tech Construction Investment Group, I said at the time that this was to avoid leaking the news that Fengming was going to build a development zone, but in fact, I lied." ”

"Huh?" Liu Xiao was surprised.

"When I went to Fengming to find Lao Zhang, Huawei's people were also there, they had already fooled Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang didn't understand the safety industry at all, so out of prudence, he decided to transfer sixty percent of the shares of the soft alliance in his hand to Huawei. Fortunately, I came in time to stop this, but Lao Zhang didn't have the intention of doing the soft alliance anymore at that time, so I bought sixty percent of the shares in Lao Zhang's hands and turned it into a soft alliance that was completely controlled by Chen Han. Boss Xiong looked at Liu Xiao, "So, what was announced at the press conference at that time was not wrong at all." ”

Liu Xiao was obviously hit, he didn't expect Zhang Chunsheng to be so repeated, in fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago, Zhang Xiaohua also said a long time ago, Zhang Chunsheng has always only done the field he is familiar with in his life, it seems that he chose Zhang Chunsheng at that time, it was really a big mistake, just a little bit, he lived up to Long Izumo's trust in himself.

"Lao Zhang is a businessman, he has to think about his own investment and try to avoid risks, and he can't blame him for this!" Boss Xiong sighed, "At that time, the soft alliance had just taken over, and there were internal and external troubles, I was afraid that this matter would hit your enthusiasm, so I didn't tell you about it." ”

Liu Xiao let out a long sigh, "Forget it, this matter has passed, fortunately, it didn't cause any losses, so I won't mention it in the future!", Liu Xiao was very helpless, what was the point of mentioning it again, so he rushed to the relationship between himself and Zhang Xiaohua, and he couldn't tell what happened to Zhang Chunsheng, this thing could only be regarded as if it hadn't happened. No wonder for so long, Zhang Chunsheng has ignored the operation of the soft alliance, Liu Xiao was still a little puzzled before, but now he finally understands.

"Don't mention the best, don't mention the best!" Boss Xiong smiled, and continued: "You are the director of the soft alliance, according to the convention, you should own a part of the shares of the soft alliance, so I transferred the shares of the soft alliance to your name, and later the matter of Feng Ming's development zone was also decided, because of your news, I let me take the lead there, and I transferred the shares of one percent to your name, so that you have two percent of the shares of the soft alliance under your name." ”

"Ah!" Liu Xiao was shocked, he didn't know anything about this before, and when he was shocked, Liu Xiao stood up, "Why don't you tell me, it's too much!"

"Not much at all!" Boss Xiong pressed Liu Xiao down again, "Listen to me!" If you are only the manager at the top level of the soft alliance, you may have more than 20% of the shares, but you are different, you are not only a manager, but also the developer and owner of the core technology of the soft alliance, without you, it can be said that the soft alliance is nothing. In the field of security, management is secondary, technology is the source of wealth to create power, take Huawei as an example, he and Syman Iron Shell cooperation, Huawei itself invested more than one billion, and Syman Iron Shell is just to provide technology, accounting for 49% of the equity of Huawei security business, so, I yesterday transferred 40% of the shares of the soft alliance to your name!"

When Liu Xiao heard this, he collapsed directly, so calculated, he already owned sixty percent of the shares of the soft alliance without knowing it, which made Liu Xiao a little frightened, "This is not good, two percent is enough! Besides, I have only been in charge of the soft alliance for half a year, and I haven't done anything yet, how can I take these shares, Brother Xiong, you better take it back, and if the soft alliance really becomes big in the future, it will not be too late for you to give it to me!"

"It's already crossed, I'm definitely not going to take it back!" Boss Xiong slapped his thigh, "You are too kind, in fact, those are what you should take, your skills are definitely worth this number, plus this relationship between you and me, I can't take advantage of you, if you shirk, you are laughing at me and humiliating me." ”

Liu Xiao opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.

"This is proof of equity!" Boss Xiong finally took out the big book just now, "I'll hand it over to you today, you occupy sixty percent of the shares of the soft alliance, and you are an out-and-out major shareholder, if you have anything in the future, just decide for yourself, don't keep asking me." ”

"This ......" Liu Xiao didn't answer, scratching his head, the monkey was in a hurry, this thing was too sudden, he really didn't know what to do.

"You kid!" Boss Xiong smiled and slapped the warrant on the table in front of Liu Xiao, "Whether the money I invested can be recovered in the future depends on you!"

"Definitely can!" Liu Xiao finally held back a sentence that was quite complete, "Definitely can!"

"I completely believe it!" Boss Xiong patted Liu Xiao on the shoulder, and then stood up, "Think about how domineering Hua Wei was at the beginning, and then look at today, Hua Wei's Gu Zhendong can personally come to the soft alliance to seek cooperation, what is it for? In order to seek the technical support of the soft alliance, this is a disguised sum!" Boss Xiong paced a few steps and shook his head vigorously, "It's only been a few months, it's incredible!" I have been in the business world for decades, and it is the first time that I have encountered such a disparity in power to fight big with a small and a complete victory, and I am full of confidence in the soft alliance and for you. It turns out that my investment in SoftAlliance is very wise. Even if it's not for anything else, we can make Gu Zhendong soft, and my money is worth it!hahaha!" After Boss Xiong finished speaking, he laughed heartily, Shanghai has been fighting for so many years, and now Boss Xiong Gu Zhendong and these people are all successful, and what they are fighting for is often not money, but fame, which is a question of who comes first and who comes second, who is higher and who is low.

After Boss Xiong finished laughing, he saw that Liu Xiao was still stunned, so he said, "Don't be stunned, Gu Zhendong and they are still waiting in the hotel, let's go quickly!"

"I'm not going!" Liu Xiao looked at the proof of equity, "I'm a little confused now, Brother Xiong, go ahead, when you see them, you say I'll go back to the company to discuss cooperation with them." ”

"You!" Boss Xiong laughed helplessly, "Then I'll go first! I'll talk to you when I'm free!"

Boss Xiong has been gone for a long time, Liu Xiao has not come back to his senses, since taking over the soft alliance, although it is said that there are constant troubles, but Liu Xiao has been working hard, every day is thinking about how to do the big soft alliance, realize his dream, and create a miracle belonging to Chinese hackers, he has never thought about anything like money and equity. In Liu Xiao's view, if there was no Boss Xiong to acquire the soft alliance, then it would be impossible for him to take charge of the soft alliance, let alone have this platform to realize his dreams, Boss Xiong is kind to himself, and he must not live up to Boss Xiong's affection, which is also a reason to support Liu Xiao's persistence, he never thought of reaching out to Boss Xiong to ask for anything, and Boss Xiong gave Liu Xiao sixty percent of the shares of the soft alliance today, Liu Xiao not only did not feel surprised, but felt that the pressure was greater, and the list on his shoulders was inexplicably heavier.

I don't know how long I sat down, Liu Xiao let out a long sigh, stood up from the sofa, it seems that this equity is not going back yet, forget it, then put yourself here for the time being, Liu Xiao reached out and picked up the equity certificate, repeated it back and forth in his hand twice, and finally received the bag, "For Brother Xiong, and for myself, it seems that I have to work harder!".

Liu Xiao shook his head helplessly after speaking, closed the door, and left Boss Xiong's office.

Downstairs to Chenhan Building, Liu Xiao suddenly didn't want to go back to the company, thought for a while, and went straight to Niu Pengen's company, the company was still in the previous place, Liu Xiao was familiar with the road and touched the door of the company, the sign hanging at the door has not changed, or "NLB Technology Co., Ltd."

Liu Xiao pushed the door in, and saw Sister Ma standing in the middle of the field, and several small staff members drooped their heads, probably just being trained by Sister Ma.

"Sister Ma, who are you angry with?" Liu Xiao asked with a smile.

Sister Ma turned around and saw Liu Xiao, put down her hand at the waist, and said: "Recently, the company's performance has been sluggish, and these guys don't say that they will go out to pull some business, but they take advantage of my absence in the company to fight the landlord in the office." ”

"Don't be angry!" Liu Xiao smiled and looked around, "What about Brother Niu?"

"You sit down first, I'll pour you water!" Sister Ma smiled and pressed Liu Xiao into a chair, "Your brother Niu just went out, saying that he went to buy food, and he is estimated to be back soon." ”

As soon as Sister Ma's voice fell, she saw Niu Pengenti walking in with a few boxed lunches, "The meal is back!", when she came in and saw Liu Xiao, Niu Pengen suddenly looked happy, "Oh, Liu Xiao, when did you come?

Liu Xiao touched his stomach and said, "I really haven't eaten, don't you say that I forgot to eat!"

"Eat that piece, eat one piece!" Niu Pengen hurriedly put the lunch box on the table, "I know that you are a busy person now, but no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, if you continue to survive like this, your body will collapse!"

Liu Xiao took the chopsticks handed over by Niu Pengen, and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome!", after speaking, he opened a lunch box and ate it.

"I knew you were coming, I would have prepared some good ones, you see, let you eat a boxed lunch, how bad is this!" Niu Pengen smiled and opened a lunch box, "Let's make do with it today, next time I will invite you to a big meal!"

"I'm not an outsider, what are you polite to me!" Liu Xiao smiled, "By the way, I just heard Sister Ma say that our business has not been good recently?"

"Alas!" Niu Pengen sighed heavily, "It's okay at first, the firewall you signed when you left is really quite hot, but the security product is like this, the new product comes out too fast, if the old product is not updated in time, it will be eliminated, I thought it was still a very advanced firewall at the time, how long has it been, it has fallen behind and can't be sold!"

"Then what are your plans?" Liu Xiao looked at Niu Pengen.

"Let's take one step at a time!" Niu Pengen smiled, "It's really not good, I'll move back to our old place and do my old job again!"

"You haven't stayed enough in that old place!" Liu Xiao laughed, "It's hard to come out, and I've become a little famous, so I can't go back." I'm going to launch two new products tomorrow, is Brother Niu interested?"

"I'm so interested!" Niu Pengen was so excited that he dropped his chopsticks on the table, "I've inquired a long time ago, everyone said that your soft alliance products are good, and they are waiting for your new products to be launched, and I want to go over to find you, that is, ...... It's ......" Niu Pengen smiled and picked up the chopsticks, "I wanted to do you a favor last time, but it turned out to be a two-day inning, I have always felt sorry to go, embarrassed to look for you!"

"My brother Niu, you want to be ashamed of me!" Liu Xiao patted Niu Pengen's shoulder, "No matter how muddy I am Liu Xiao, I can also distinguish a good and ugly person, you treat me well, you have affection for me, I will never forget it in my life!"

"It's me who is wrong, it's me who is wrong!" Niu Pengen shook his head again and again, "I'm thinking about my brother in an unbearable way, it's me who is confused!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, don't mention it again in the future!" Liu Xiao stopped Niu Pengen's words, "Let's just talk about this matter now, if Brother Niu is really interested, then I will give you the agency sales right of the new product." Liu Xiao thought for a while and said: "I think it's the agency of Haicheng, Soft Alliance has been operating in the Haicheng market for many years, has a foundation, and has many customers, so you can do it better, as long as you set up a few points in the city, customers will come to the door by themselves." ”

"How do you want me to thank you for entrusting me with such a good thing!" Niu Pengen rubbed his hands excitedly, "You are saving my life, otherwise I don't know what to do in the future!"

"Ahem!" Liu Xiao held Niu Pengen down, "Anyway, I have also been the technical director of our NLB, at that time, I gave you a pick halfway, and I have always felt quite guilty, and now I can do something for NLB, I am very happy, and I feel a little better in my heart!"

"You say, why did I buy a boxed lunch!" Niu Pengen dropped the chopsticks again, and then grabbed Liu Xiao's hand, "Let's go, let's find a place and drink him well." ”

"Don't, don't!" Liu Xiao hurriedly grabbed Niu Pengen, "I have to rush back to the company in a while, so let's go to you in the evening, you let Sister Ma fry a few dishes, let's get drunk!"

"No problem, I'll give him the good wine that has been hidden for more than 20 years at night!" Niu Pengen glared at Liu Xiao, "You must come!"

"Come, definitely come!" Liu Xiao smiled and took the remaining few mouthfuls of rice, "Okay, then I'll go first, Brother Niu, you should also hurry up and prepare, our products will be launched tomorrow." ”

"I'll do this right away, I promise that tomorrow there will be our sales points in every district of the city!" Niu Pengen was also anxious now, and he couldn't take care of eating, so he dragged Liu Xiao out with him, and he had to hurry up to find a storefront.

Seeing Niu Pengen go away, Liu Xiao couldn't help but sigh, Boss Xiong said well, Niu Pengen is worth associating, he can be sad for helping himself for so long, just rush to this, Niu Pengen is not bad, it seems that in terms of knowing people, he is still a big step behind Boss Xiong. I remember that I just arrived at NLB, because the computer at Boss Xiong's home was broken, Niu Pengen was able to toss the company upside down, so nervous, I thought that Niu Pengen just wanted to be next to the big tree of Boss Xiong, but now I think about it, maybe I blamed him, he was sincere to his friends.

For the next few days, Liu Xiao spent every day with people from the hardware development team, brainstorming to design a new hardware firewall that surpassed all previous products. The successive victories in software promotion have made the people in the hardware group breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone is basically an idea a day, and this product is proceeding at a rocket-like speed.

Liu Xiao, as usual, arrived at the company early, went to the office to process the documents, and then got up to go to the hardware group to see the progress of product development. As soon as he got up, Shang Yue knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Liu, there is news, I have found the target of those guys!"

"Who is the target?" Liu Xiao hurriedly asked.

Shang Yue walked to Liu Xiao's desk, flicked the globe on the table, and then pointed to a very small plate in the center of Europe, "This is it!"

Liu Xiao couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw it, "How could it be him?"
