"Siyuan, when are you going to take a holiday?"

Times Technology, Zhang Siyuan's office. Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in the boss's chair, was talking to Zhang's mother on the phone. Zhang Siyuan has returned to Shanghai from Yanjing for two days, and he has already arranged Zhou Fanyun, who will follow.

Hearing the words from Zhang's mother on the phone, Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "Mom, I still have a few days to go on vacation. When I have a holiday and stay in Shanghai for two days, I will go back. ”

"Oh, tell me before you come back. I'm so prepared, don't come back and catch me off guard. Tell me in advance what you want to eat, and I'll be ready for you to come back. Zhang's mother on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a sudden downturn.

Zhang Siyuan didn't notice anything, but said to Zhang's mother: "Mom, I'm a little busy here." Hang up first, and I'll call you when I'm free. ”

Waiting for Zhang's mother to answer, Zhang Siyuan hung up the phone. Glancing at the calendar in the lower right corner of the computer, December 28, 1999, there were only three days left before the millennium. The prelude to the twentieth century will also begin, thinking of the domestic take-off economy in the first decade of the twentieth century, and then thinking of today's era of science and technology, as well as Sohu and the era of real estate that has not been established. Zhang Siyuan's heart is full of pride, in the next few decades, the whole China and even the whole world will remember a man named Zhang Siyuan, and there will be a company name in everyone's minds - Times Technology.

Just as Zhang Siyuan was thinking about this, there was a knock on the office door. Zhang Siyuan was not perfunctory to Zhang's mother just now, but he did make an appointment with Xu Zelei to talk about something in the office at this time.

After getting Zhang Siyuan's reply, Xu Zelei walked into Zhang Siyuan's office. It's just that when he walked into Zhang Siyuan's office this time, Xu Zelei was not holding the file as usual, but holding his computer.

Seeing Xu Zelei walking in with the computer, Zhang Siyuan said to Xu Zelei: "Brother Zelei, go to the sofa." ”

In addition to a desk, there is also a sofa in Zhang Siyuan's office, and in front of the sofa is a very common table. It was not necessary to use it before, but now it is necessary to look at the things in Xu Zelei's computer, which is not very suitable on the desk.

Xu Zelei put the computer on the small table when he heard this, and Zhang Siyuan also walked over. When Zhang Siyuan walked to the sofa and sat down, he happened to see Xu Zelei turning on the machine. Looking at Xu Zelei's ten fingers tapping on the keyboard quickly, the computer entered the boot interface.

Zhang Siyuan didn't see what Xu Zelei was typing on the keyboard at all, and saw that Xu Zelei's computer had entered the desktop. Then Xu Zelei chose a folder, and it was another operation that made Zhang Siyuan breathtaking, and opened the folder.

Then Xu Zelei put the computer in front of Zhang Siyuan and pointed to an icon on the screen: "Na, this is the simplified version of the antivirus software you asked me to make." You try to use it and see if there is any difference between it and Rising and Jinshan. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Siyuan put his finger on the touch screen, clicked the icon twice, and then a window popped up on the desktop. Looking at the several functions displayed on the window, Zhang Siyuan clicked a few times and found that there were not too many functions, which was very in line with the simplified version that Xu Zelei said.

Five minutes later, Zhang Siyuan closed the window and said to Xu Zelei, who was sitting on the side: "Yes, with a little more decoration, it can be released." Our anti-virus software, as long as it can be simple anti-virus and Trojan detection and killing, other functions cannot be developed by you alone. When there are more people, other functions will be developed. I don't know much about the technical side, that's your forte. When the time comes, I will write a plan and come out, and then you and your team will develop it according to the plan. ”

"Do you really want to send it out? You know, we're really in a lot of trouble right now. really provoked Ruixing and Jinshan, we may not be able to hold it. Xu Zelei was still a little worried.

Although he made a simplified version of the antivirus software according to Zhang Siyuan's idea, he did not approve of Zhang Siyuan's involvement in the antivirus software market now. For the simplified version of the antivirus software, Xu Zelei is very confident. The functions may not be as many as those of Rising or Kingsoft, but the core protection and killing functions will definitely not be much worse than Rising and Kingsoft.

After all, this is a simplification of the protection system he researched himself, and he doesn't dare to say that in the whole world, there are no more than five people who can break through his computer defense. As for those few people, it is impossible to take the initiative to provoke him. The name of the demon is not for fun, he has been studying this aspect since he entered the school. At that time, he couldn't afford to buy a computer, and it was also given to him by Dean Xiao.

The reason why Dean Xiao prefers Xu Zelei is because Xu Zelei is really demonic, and another reason is that Xu Zelei is very hardworking. Among so many students, Dean Xiao only gave Xu Zelei a computer. Xu Zelei's time in those years, in addition to learning knowledge, was to improve his protection system. Even if he didn't engage in the Internet-related industry because of quiet reasons, he used his off-duty time to improve his protection system.

Of course, he also did a few things to test the usefulness of this protection system. The easiest thing to do was to attract hackers to attack his computer, and no one ever breached his defenses. There were indeed a few times when someone almost broke his protective system, but in the same way, he was almost able to find the location of the other party, and the two sides did not choose to lose both, and there was no enmity after the fight.

This is his secret, and even Dean Xiao doesn't know about it. After all, hackers can't see the light, and he's only testing the protection system he has developed, not for anything else. So in the hacker world, except for those at the peak, few people know about his existence.

Zhang Siyuan heard Xu Zelei's words and said with a smile: "Brother Zelei, this is the second time you have said this. Don't worry, no problem. Believe me, my eyes have long been set abroad, and there is no need to be too entangled in these domestic opponents. This software will be of great use to us in the future, and it is developed by you alone. So, I'd like to talk to you about software. ”

"You say. ”

"I thought of two options for this antivirus, and it depends on your choice. One is to buy the software from you in the name of the company and trade it directly with the company's shares, which is equivalent to a one-time transaction. Another plan is that the company invests in the capital, you contribute the technology, set up a new company, both parties hold 50% of the shares, and then the company will share half of the income from this software. Think about it, how exactly is it arranged. ”

Xu Zelei smiled when he heard this: "Let's go directly to the first one, it's not a complicated thing." ”

Xu Zelei didn't take this seriously, he felt that Zhang Siyuan was a little fussy about Zhang Siyuan's seriousness. This simplified version of antivirus software, he did not add the core of the protection system at all, and it is not very clever software at all.

"Okay, then I'll inform the shareholders of the company. The company will buy all the patents for this antivirus software from you with 5% of your shares, and you will have to take out everything you need to take out when the time comes. Zhang Siyuan said to Xu Zelei very seriously.

Xu Zelei was taken aback by Zhang Siyuan's words, but he knew how much the shares transferred by Zhang Siyuan were. Although Times Technology is not listed, the price of its shares is super high. Five percent, converted to the price at which Zhang Siyuan sold his shares before, is 500 million. How can this simplified version of antivirus software be so valuable, 500 million directly buy the shares of Ruixing and Jinshan, it is estimated that the bosses of the two companies will sell most of the company's shares in a hurry.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Xu Zelei's surprised look, and said with a smile: "I know this is a simplified version of antivirus software, isn't it still you in charge of research and development." When the time comes, you don't have to use the things that you should use, and this is really valuable. The things that were developed later belonged to the company. Also, can your protection system be extended to the entire company's computer system?"

"Yes, I only covered a few important computers in the company before, and I didn't do anything else. I'll do it if I need to. It's not that complicated, and our company isn't very conspicuous right now, and no one will have nothing to do to hack into our company system. ”

Xu Zelei didn't know what to say at this time, according to what Zhang Siyuan said just now, he is now the second largest shareholder of the company. Although the 5% shares are jointly borne by all shareholders of the company, and his original shares will be diluted, he has directly increased the shares by 5% now, plus the original shares, and has steadily become the second largest shareholder of the company.

Zhang Siyuan is also well thought out, as the company's most important technical personnel, Xu Zelei's shares have not been much. This time there was an opportunity, and Zhang Siyuan was ready to give more shares to Zhang Siyuan. Managers are easy to find, and few executives of the world's top 500 companies can own shares in the company.

As long as you have enough salary and persuasion, it is easy to change jobs. But the technical staff is the most critical person, for Xu Zelei, who developed QQ and the now unnamed antivirus software, to be honest, the current shares are really too small. Think about Microsoft, Google and various Internet companies, which company's founders are not born in technology, although after N rounds of financing, these people's shares have been diluted, but they still allow them to own a lot of shares in the company.

This time the shares were exchanged for the technology in Xu Zelei's hands, not so much Zhang Siyuan's recognition of antivirus software, but Zhang Siyuan's compensation to Xu Zelei. Only in this way can Xu Zelei always work for the company.

Looking at Xu Zelei's surprised look, Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "Okay, this is over, let's discuss the name of this software." You're the founder of it, and it's up to you to name the software. ”

Zhang Siyuan's words woke up the stunned Xu Zelei, and Xu Zelei lowered his head and pondered when he heard the words. Ever since he developed the system, he hadn't thought of a name. Now that the software is coming out and released, I must come up with a name.

Xu Zelei was silent for a long time, then looked up at Zhang Siyuan and said, "It's called QQ Computer Butler, anyway, it's under the name of Times Technology." Directly follow the name of the QQ series, in your words, it is also easy to give users a sense of belonging. And it's also apt enough, itself is to protect the security of the system, and at the same time manage the computer system. A lot of the features aren't there yet, but they'll be available soon, aren't they?"

"Okay, just as you say. You will ask them to beautify the window later, and when the QQ update is updated on New Year's Day, it will be released at the same time. In terms of publicity, I will communicate with Zhang Junkui in the next two days and ask him to do a good job in publicity. Zhang Siyuan smiled and nodded.

QQ series, now there are QQ, QQ channel, QQ portal, QQ navigation, QQ game, QQ music. QQ reading research and development is good, but it is still in preparation, and it has not been launched yet. Soon, New Year's Day will join QQ Computer Manager, and the QQ series will be more and more grabbed at that time.

It is also getting closer and closer to the social networking platform imagined by Zhang Siyuan. This is also a member of the QQ ecosystem in Zhang Siyuan's mind, and in the near future, several QQ series products that will have an important impact on Times Technology, Zhang Siyuan will also let them go online one by one.

After continuing to communicate with Xu Zelei for an hour, Xu Zelei left Zhang Siyuan's office. Zhang Siyuan also returned to his office desktop and dialed Gao Changjiang's phone.

Gao Changjiang soon came to Zhang Siyuan's office, because it was approaching the end of the year, and Gao Changjiang's time could be said to be the second busiest period after taking over Dai Wanglong's position. At this time, Zhang Siyuan was looking for him, and he was still thinking about the Spring Festival welfare.

Gao Changjiang, who walked into Zhang Siyuan's office, saw Zhang Siyuan sitting in the boss's chair staring at him. I thought I had something on my body, but after looking down a few times, Gao Changjiang found that he had nothing on him, and asked Zhang Siyuan suspiciously, "Mr. Zhang, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Gao, you just looked so cute. Zhang Siyuan said with a smile.

Seeing Gao Changjiang's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Zhang Siyuan continued: "Just kidding, don't mind. Mr. Gao, I came to you here to discuss something with you. ”

You say. Gao Changjiang heard Zhang Siyuan's words and knew that Zhang Siyuan had something serious to talk to him. didn't bother with what Zhang Siyuan just said, and sat waiting for Zhang Siyuan to speak.

Zhang Siyuan sat up straight from the boss's chair and said to Gao Changjiang: "Mr. Gao, I want to establish the Times Group, do you think the time is right now?"

When Gao Changjiang heard the words coming out of Zhang Siyuan's mouth, his brows immediately furrowed, and he sat opposite Zhang Siyuan and thought about it. Zhang Siyuan did not urge Gao Changjiang, but waited for Gao Changjiang to finish thinking.

After half an hour, Gao Changjiang spoke: "Mr. Zhang, with all due respect, it is not suitable to set up a group at all now. I know you have several companies now, but the members of these companies are too complex. If you set up a group, it will be a big loss to your interests. And to be honest, the establishment of the group now, even with your Sohu, Times Entertainment, and the real estate company that has not yet been established, is only four companies. Now that the conditions for the establishment of the group have indeed been relaxed in China, I believe that you can also find a way for the government to lower the requirements for us to set up the group. It's just that this doesn't do much good for the company's development. ”

Seeing that Gao Changjiang stopped, Zhang Siyuan urged: "Go on." ”

"To be honest, there is a conflict between Sohu and Times Technology's business. From the perspective of the science and technology of the times, of course, it is best to annex Sohu. But from Sohu's point of view, they are about to go public, and it is impossible to be swallowed up. If it is annexed, it will lose the interests of many people, including your own. According to the reason, when you acquired Sohu, you should have merged Sohu into Times Technology to fill the shortcomings of Times Technology. You didn't, and I know you must have had you in mind, so I didn't say anything more. But now that you're talking about the formation of a group, I don't think it's the right time. ”

Gao Changjiang paused, and then said: "I still want to tell you that it is better to choose overseas to set up a group. In this way, all domestic companies can become holding companies, and it will be easy to set up a group at that time. There are still too many restrictions at home, and I hope you will think about it carefully. It's not that the establishment of a group outside the country means that there is something bad about the country, but that some conditions have to do it. ”

When Zhang Siyuan heard this, he also began to think deeply, and he only had an idea about the establishment of a group in China in the past two days. It's just that Gao Changjiang's words are also very reasonable. His previous ideas were also a bit naïve, and in Gao Changjiang's experience, his suggestions were definitely beneficial to the company's development.

Thinking of this, Zhang Siyuan smiled and said to Gao Changjiang: "Okay, then I'll think about this matter again, and I'll talk to you when the time comes." ”

Gao Changjiang stood up when he heard this, and said to Zhang Siyuan: "Then I'll go out first, and, Mr. Zhang, your joke just now is not funny at all." ”

Then Gao Changjiang walked out of Zhang Siyuan's office with Zhang Siyuan's stunned expression, Gao Changjiang is usually not joking, but he didn't expect to joke just now.

When Gao Changjiang left the office, Zhang Siyuan took out his mobile phone, sent a message, and then turned on the computer. He didn't think about what he had just talked to Gao Changjiang about, Zeng Fuhu should have been preparing to go to the United States, and Zhang Siyuan was still ready to see the situation of the U.S. stocks.

After all, it's almost a millennium, and although his rebirth may bring about a butterfly effect, many things will still happen. What happens next will have a great impact on Zhang Siyuan's next moves. Zhang Siyuan wants to determine how much impact the butterfly effect of his rebirth will bring.
