Chapter 679: Kaspersky (Third Update, Ask for Subscription)
"Mr. Lin is very welcome to visit Moscow for tourism and investment. ”
The mayor of Moscow, Boris Yeltsin, who received Lin Qi, this person ...... The man who single-handedly sent the Soviet Union to the grave, accompanied by a group of people, made a big battle, and took a few people into the most luxurious restaurant.
After all, the capital is still the capital, and knowing the meaning of Lin Qiqi, Yeltsin has made a bloody investment, and Moscow's finances are not rich, but he is trying to get resources to entertain him.
"Mr. Lin, although we are currently encountering a little situation, we have the confidence and ability to solve it, you can rest assured that you can invest, and I believe that Mox and Russia's investment will definitely give you rich returns. Yeltsin was completely blind and said, "Of course, we recommend you to buy the bonds of our municipal development in Moscow, with an annual interest rate of 25%, and we have a large number of high-quality assets as collateral, 100 million US dollars of investment, even if we can't afford to change it at that time, you can take the collateral!"
Fart!
During this period, Yeltsin borrowed money, not at all as if it was used to develop municipal administration, but was intended to be used to do things.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, many armies were indifferent, because the Soviet Union could not afford to pay salaries, so they were passive and did not work.
And Yeltsin and others managed to get money and bought a group of descendants of the armed forces, and in the end, a very small number of armed forces drove into Moscow and won!
Because, the whole country of the Soviet Union was watching, and there were only a handful of resistance forces. So, by defeating only a very small number of people, they won power in a game-like way and declared the complete dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Regarding Yeltsin's investment, Lin Qi did not refuse on the spot, but he did not obviously stand in line, it is actually not good to stand in line at this time, after all, the KGB is still falling.
Yeltsin's bonds, Lin Qi did not buy for the time being, because, this is too obvious. At present, Lin Qi only plans to open the Russian branch first.
Because it was a Russian branch, Yeltsin and others were overjoyed, thinking that Lin Qi was actually optimistic about them, not the Soviet Union!
Under Yeltsin's order, the local people in Moscow were naturally extremely cooperative, and the Russian branch of the new venture group was established, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, and the headquarters was set up in Moscow, and Diana concurrently served as the general manager of the Russian branch of the new venture group.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was mainly carried out internally, and then the Russian loudspeakers advertised it in the streets for several days.
After that, whether it is the Soviet faction or the local faction in Russia that wants to split up, it can be wooed by Lin Qi, a large foreign enterprise, and it can even be said that it can be said to respond to requests.
After all, in the future, the two sides will need money to compete for power and profit, and it will be difficult to get money in Russia, and the key to victory for many people is to bring in funds from overseas.
Lin Qi's first investment project was to attack Kaspersky.
Although there are many complete Internet companies at home and abroad in later generations, Kaspersky Lab is definitely an old powerhouse. At one time, domestic soft-killing companies would cooperate with Kaspersky as a killer weapon to seize the market.
Kingsoft, 360 and other software, once cooperated with Kaspersky, and in the short term, it started to kill soft reputation, and then, after the end of technical cooperation with Kaspersky, the strength of antivirus software also plummeted.
Later, Kaspersky was also a pride of the Russian software industry. But now, the concept of Internet economy has not yet emerged, and antivirus software and security have not been taken seriously, so Lin Qi is ready to take down this potential laboratory.
……
Kaspersky is state-of-the-art, headquartered in Moscow, and founded by Russian Eugene Kaspersky. In 1989, after accidentally discovering a computer virus, he began to study it.
Based on these studies, Kaspersky Eugene founded the AVP Lab, which was later the predecessor of Kaspersky, and it was not until '97 that the lab was incorporated as a company and began to spread its software around the world. It is also from the end of the 90s to the beginning of the 21st century that many security vendors in China were able to obtain Kaspersky's technology licenses at a low price, use Kaspersky's engine and virus database, and sell Kaspersky's software.
When Lin Qi took Diana to Eugene Kaspersky, he was buried behind a messy counter, perfecting his computer program.
If you follow the normal progress, Eugene is not in Lin Qi's plan at this time, but the development of computers in this world is at least more than ten years faster, and viruses actually exist, so Kaspersky will naturally be used.
"Hello, do you want to buy software? Our lab can customize security software, which can detect and kill thousands of Internet viruses. Priced at $25!If you're going to buy our commercial license, $100,000 a year for a region of 100 million people!"
Eugene is very tall, his eyes are alert, and he quickly looked at Lin Qi and the others, and his work in the KGB gave him the sensitivity of a soldier, even if he had withdrawn from the KGB organization, this trait was impossible to erase. Apparently, however, Eugene mistook them for investors from Japan.
After all, Asians are still most involved in overseas investment in Japan. A lot of those investment activities are big business.
The kind of business that China's grandfather does is actually the kind of small business that many businessmen in developed countries look down on.
"No, we want to invest in you. Diana said.
"Invest in me?" Eugene stopped what he was doing, this is strange, now everyone is hiding in the shaved food, Russia can't find a few decent people to come, the corruption within the government has fallen to the extreme, the army is also constantly encroaching, all the capital has been exchanged for gold reserves, one by one to find a place to hide, and anyone dares to invest?
His gaze fell on Lin Qi, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered.
"Are you the boss of the new business, Lin Qi?" Eugene croaked, his tongue rolled excitedly, but he was not excited that his tongue was also rolled, and the content was naturally translated by Diana.
Lin Qi smiled, it seems that his popularity is not too bad.
Eugene quickly calmed down, and there was naturally irrepressible excitement in his eyes, there was no doubt that Lin Qi was investing in his skills. Although the Internet is not popular in Russia now, there are still Internet and computers, so Eugene also knows that his research must have commercial value, but it is difficult to sell it at a price in Russia at this stage.
Only by selling products to the world can you have a chance!
Here's your chance!
When he recognized Lin Qi, he knew that if he seized the opportunity, he would come and go.
"I'm very bullish on the future of antivirus software, and as the number of Internet users increases, the problem is becoming more and more important. Personally, I am optimistic about the mathematics, physics and chemistry education in the Soviet Union, and these high-level education are necessary for the development of safe software. In addition, the Russian side has serious unemployment and can hire people cheaply. I'm going to buy your team for $5 million, just 49% of the shares! But on the condition that the antivirus and Internet technology of the Kaspersky Lab team is fully shared with our New Venture Electronics Group, and we have the right to use your technology and patents. ”
Out of the habit of language barriers, Lin Qi didn't make many detours and threw chips directly.
After Diana translated, she saw that Eugene's face had changed and flushed, and he turned around and took out a bottle of vodka, tilted his head and took a sip.
This fund is enough to support many of his ambitious R&D projects, but Eugene is also a human being, and he doesn't dare to show it too obviously on the surface, and he said at the moment: "My position in the team is undoubted, but because there are a series of contracts, I have to communicate with the entire laboratory." ”
...... This laboratory, at present, is mainly supported by Eugene's personal technology and research direction. The key technician, Eugene Kaspersky himself, no one else is the key person.
Lin Qi saw it at a glance, but he didn't break it, and gave Eugene a day to discuss it with the others.
Soon, Eugene gave a reply and agreed to Lin Qi's investment, but Eugene insisted that in the future, software sales in the European market would be hosted by Kaspersky, and the new venture department would use its technology, which could be sold and used in other markets around the world.
Lin Qi has no opinion on this, anyway, the Internet market in the future will not be dominated by Europe. There are so many languages and countries in Europe, and there are tens of millions of people in each language. Hundreds of millions, scattered, the market size is not very large.
Not to mention...... There are a bunch of soft-killing companies in Europe, and Lin Qi does not think that Russia's soft-killing companies can have much share in the European market, even if their technology is good, Europeans will be wary of Russia and refuse to use Russian security software. Because, in the eyes of Europeans, the products of Russians are more hateful than viruses, and they would rather be infected with Trojan viruses than use Russian antivirus software.
