A plan involving how to spend millions of dollars is certainly not something that can be done in a day. Even if Gu Mojie was convinced by lawyer Sunderland, it was nothing more than setting a tone.

However, a good tone is the first step to victory.

In the following week, the lawyer team brought by Gu Mojie, as well as the consulting team that Vivien Leigh helped him contact in the United States, plus Sunderland, worked together efficiently to implement Gu Mojie's plan step by step from technology to legal affairs, and became more operational.

In this process, everyone's admiration for Gu Mojie became deeper and deeper, and they felt that this young man's thoughts and strategies were really unfathomable.

Because, everyone has found that this project can not only do everything Gu Mojie wants to do with private goods, but the key Google side will spare no effort to cooperate.

To put it bluntly, although Gu Mojie's project will appear in the form of "other types of free security software that is not antivirus software" in the future, after the appearance of this thing, it will not only protect the interests of the majority of netizens, but also protect the credibility of all "intermediaries who provide credit guarantees for Internet advertising" on the planet.

At the very least, after this thing is made, it can take the initiative to fight the botnet and the source of the gray pigeon; It is also possible to flag dangerous websites on the browser; It can also mark high-risk email addresses or high-risk social media accounts (such as QQ numbers or MSN accounts that often spread the source of poison). Internet advertising intermediaries can also use this data to eliminate "inflated advertising fees caused by malicious clicks on ads by botnets", so that advertisers can trust intermediaries more and improve the goodwill of intermediaries.

At the same time, because this benefit is "something that any Internet advertising agency on the planet can enjoy", it is an industry-wide benefit. Naturally, it will comply with the provisions of U.S. law on "public interest purposes".

However, because Google is the only company on the planet with a business in this field, protecting the interests of this industry is equivalent to protecting the interests of Google.

Gu Mojie happened to choose a subdivision with an absolute public welfare nature, but the current beneficiary is only Google.

So good at taking advantage of the situation. What reason does Gu Mojie have for not being able to "rely on the strength of the good wind and send me to the clouds"?

The water comes naturally, and the ability to guide due to the situation can be said to be exhaustive, and the contempt is added.

After ten days of hard work, the project finally passed the review of the "Public Welfare Research Fund Management Committee" at the state and federal levels. Gu Mojie's idea has been thoroughly implemented.

The first tranche of $3 million was fully transferred.

Gu Mojie asked Feliro to help run errands, and urgently registered a new scientific research institution near Stanford, which was named "Hatsune Cyber Security Institute". Accept the funding.

The head of the institute must be nominally a U.S. citizen. However, this is not a difficult matter, Gu Mojie can naturally find a puppet who can absolutely control and never have the slightest real power from the perspective of the constitution through the lawyer team to help him stand in the foreground.

After all, even if it is a non-profit scientific research institution, there is a proportion of funding, and whoever pays the money has the final say. There are articles of association, and it is not the identity of a legal representative that can be turned over.

After getting rid of the skin of the empty shell. The second step, of course, is the allocation of working funds.

Security software is naturally to be done, but it is just a skin to deal with government audits, and under this skin, Gu Mojie naturally has to mix some private goods that can be combined with his company's existing business as much as possible.

……

On the night of the incorporation of the "Hatsune Cyber Security Institute", the Belmont Hotel.

Fei Liluo took a copy of the fund allocation plan that was about to be finalized and sent it to Gu Mojie's room overnight.

These days. Fei Liluo was busy with Gu Mojie every day, and when she first arrived in a foreign country, she was not accustomed to the water and soil, and she was not used to eating and drinking, so she lost a lot of weight. After taking a shower the night before yesterday, I weighed it with the scales in the guest room, and there were only more than 80 catties left. Even Feliro herself was taken aback.

However, the fulfillment brought by this busyness made Feliro enjoy it very much. Because there are new things every day, and there is a sense of accomplishment in contact with different businesses every day, many things that Fei Liluo may not be able to touch for a few years when she stays in China, let alone have the opportunity to practice them herself.

In this process, Gu Mojie's generalist who has both arts and sciences, and the astonishing acumen that erupts because he is proficient in mathematics and programming, law and business at the same time, has raised Fei Liluo's admiration for Gu Mojie to a new height.

A strong woman, after all, is also a woman, and she also has a weak side. How she wished that while she was strong, she would have a man she could rely on in any way. Even if you can't fix something one day, just lean on that man's shoulder, and you can do it right away.

"Applejack, take a look, this draft of fund allocation has been changed a few times according to your wishes, it should be fine, right?"

When Feliro came in, Gu Mojie was staring at the notebook to deal with things, but he didn't hear it - he and Feliro didn't live in the same room, but Feliro had the room card for his room, so he didn't need to ring the bell when he came in.

Gu Mojie raised his head, glanced at Feliro gently, gave a soothing smile, and then looked carefully.

"$1.5 million for the purchase of data center equipment and data center site rental for next-generation public cybersecurity research. $800,000 to hire a two-year U.S.-based program development team that was originally engaged in antivirus software research...... According to the relevant state regulations, there should be more than 5 U.S. national programmers to solve local employment problems...... $300,000 to purchase adapted license ...... browser plug-ins from Microsoft, Google, and others"

$3 million, on a thin few pages of drafts, has been carved up.

In 2004, the U.S. dollar was still quite valuable, and if converted into soft sister coins, 3 million was equivalent to 22.5 million. Even in the United States, outside Silicon Valley, a programmer with less than three years of experience has an annual salary of less than $50,000, and the mainstream programmers in Silicon Valley may be close to 100,000, as for the high-end gods. That would be out of the discussion.

"No problem, let's do this in two days." After reading it, Gu Mojie was very satisfied with this assignment. His interests have been maximized here.

Feliro put away her things, and finally confirmed with a little unease:

"Applejack, is it really okay to distribute like this? Today, I also had a deep conversation with the two local consulting lawyers that my aunt hired. They all say, the money we spend on data centers. The proportion is higher than that of other peers. There seems to be no precedent for this. This is an investment in a data center that can easily be judged as an expense for commercial purposes. ”

Gu Mojie patted Fei Liluo's shoulder, squeezed out a very sincere look, and said:

"Believe me, they say that because those lawyers aren't very tech-savvy. I've been following you these days to pick out regulations and read cases, don't I know the scale?

Others do business in the field of security, and they don't need so many servers, and they don't need such a large data center. That's because their data center only needs to store and manage virus databases. And what we're going to do, the dependency on the server side, will be much greater.

Think about it, if we want to cooperate with Google or other browser companies to flag all the dangerous websites in the access log, even if we don't build a huge server farm like Google, we must at least build a framework, right?

IF WE WERE TO COLLECT STATISTICS ON THE SOURCE OF EMAIL VIRUSES AND SOCIAL VIRUSES FROM ORDINARY NETIZENS, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO NOT HAVE A SERVER FARM AS LARGE AS GMAIL OR QQ. Anyway, there should be a few of them to help us capture the virus source data on the user's computer in real time, right?

So. Rest assured, these uses are explained. Other Internet security research institutes don't need it, because they don't use our ideas, they can't provide 'cloud security', that's their problem. Not our problem. In the future, Google's public relations department will also help us dredge, after all, what we do is also good for Google. ”

Fei Liluo has actually heard Gu Mojie say this a few times, but she doesn't understand technology. I can only listen to a plausible one at a time, and gradually deepen my impression. Seeing Gu Mojie swear so much, she was also relieved and prepared to carry it out like this tomorrow.

"Go back and get some rest, you've lost a lot of weight. We still have more than half a month to deal with this, don't rush, don't burn down. ”

Gu Mojie said that he cared about Fei Liluo a few words, sent Fei Liluo out of the door, and then continued to deal with his own affairs.

Of course, what he said to Feliro was not a lie, but Feliro knew full well how much private goods there were.

If you only look at the main part of the hardware investment in the data center, it is nothing more than buying a lot of server cabinets and packaging huge network bandwidth.

Every company that provides network services needs a data center, whether the company is doing search, e-commerce, email, QQ, online games, ......

However, when a server is bought, it is very flexible to buy what programs and services are mainly installed in it. Moreover, there is no requirement that a server can provide only one type of program service. Theoretically, a QQ server can also allocate a part of the hardware processing resources to provide QQ mailbox services.

This kind of thing, to put it simply, is like an ordinary computer that can turn on multitasking at the same time, watching videos and playing games at the same time.

Gu Mojie set up a data center in the name of "Hatsune Cyber Security Research Institute", although the servers that are about to be purchased in the data center will eventually be used in the "Hatsune Security Guard" in the future. But before the Hatsune Security Guard was introduced, would the U.S. audit department still be able to check what services were running on the servers that Gu Mojie bought every day?

Apparently impossible.

It's like a parent who buys a computer for their child. When the child makes the application, he or she fills in the "for study" column in the "Application Purpose" column; After the computer is really bought, can parents still watch it 24 hours a day and prevent their children from playing games with this computer?

The initial investment, which is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan, was first moved to Gu Mojie's most urgent business at the moment. When the 2005 fiscal year arrives, there will be such a large amount of money injected, giving Gu Mojie enough time to coordinate the stall he is currently rolling out.

In the eyes of ordinary people, some businesses that have to kneel and beg for venture capital have opened first under Gu Mojie's divine operation, without diluting their equity at all. (To be continued.) )
