Chapter 376 Give and Return

When Ponyma first came to the R&D Department of Tricolor Fire Technology, she couldn't help but feel very strange when she saw everyone so happy, and after coming to Lin Hong's office, she couldn't help but ask. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lin Hong is also in a good mood at the moment, after all, the version was completed ahead of schedule, which is indeed a happy thing, and what is even happier is that those rookies in the R&D department have begun to transform into half masters, and they can gradually start to be competent for some difficult development work.

"We were on track for a project that we had just successfully tested, so everyone was happy."

"Oh? What project? Ponyma grew more and more curious.

"Uh......"

Lin Hong was a little embarrassed, and he didn't plan to announce this matter to the public for the time being. One is that this system was developed specifically for military use, and there are some things that need to be kept secret. Second, whether this thing can be done or not, there is no conclusion, if the matter spreads, and the result is not won later, it will also be a blow to the reputation of Tricolor Fire Technology.

"I'm just asking casually, so I don't need to say anything if it's inconvenient." Ponyma saw that he was a little embarrassed, and said very understandingly.

"No, I just don't know what to say." Lin Hong smiled, "It's a single-chip microcomputer project, and it's just starting, in fact, the function is very simple, but everyone has no experience in this area before, and now it's hard to achieve some results, so naturally I'm a little overjoyed." Lin Hong still blurred it.

"Oh." Ponyma nodded. He also understands the basic technology of the microcontroller.

Putting the topic aside, he began to talk about his business this time.

"I came this time, on the one hand, I want to meet you, after all, we have known each other for so long, and we have only been communicating online.

Lin Hong nodded, did not speak, and listened carefully.

Ponyma continued: "On the other hand, it's a bit selfish. OICQ this project, we are doing it for Shenzhen Z Telecom, they are currently bidding for such a software, we want to take this project down. Now that we've started doing it, we want to make it the best it can be, to make it perfect. The last time you sent me the list, my partner and I worked overnight and didn't sleep for two days and two nights before we finally solved most of the problems......"

As he spoke, there was a knock on the office door, and Guan Xin, the chief financial officer, walked in with two cups of tea.

Lin Hong realized that he had forgotten to pour tea for the other party.

Fortunately, Ponyma didn't care about this, and just continued to say that he came this time. He took a few more glances at Guan Xin who came in, after all, this woman felt a little amazing.

“…… In the past, we did not pay enough attention to software security, but you reminded us that if a software, especially commercial software, cannot solve the security problems, it will leave huge hidden dangers for future development. In our team, there is a lack of such people. In addition to meeting with you, I also want to ask if you can please serve as our software security consultant and give us ideas in this regard. ”

After speaking, Ponyma looked at Lin Hong expectantly.

In fact, he is also very uncertain about this decision, after all, the other party is also the CEO of a company, and now he is asked to be his consultant, which seems a bit strange.

"Security Advisor?" Lin Hong didn't answer immediately.

"Of course, you don't need to go to our company to do anything, just like this time, point us out the security vulnerabilities and so on."

This meaning was not present to Ponyma before he came here, but he suddenly had an improvised idea on the way.

Lin Hong is indeed a master, there is no doubt about this.

If you can establish a cooperative relationship with him, then it can bring great benefits to their start-up company and save them a lot of detours. Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree, then take the human route, it can be seen that this Mr. Lin is still very old-fashioned, and he has always been like this since he appeared on the forum.

"The security consultant still counts, in fact, your software is also very simple, and the security problem is just that. If there are any problems in the future, I will still be happy to help. Lin Hong thought about it for a while, and finally rejected his proposal.

Of course, he knew that the other party would definitely not let him work in vain and would pay a certain amount of compensation, but he was not short of money, and he didn't want to put such a name on them, after all, he still had a lot of things to do.

He and Ponyma are currently pure friends, and if they become security consultants, it may evolve into an employment relationship, which is a bit of a sour.

Ponyma didn't feel strange about Lin Hong's decision, but it was just a little pity, he was already mentally prepared for this.

Next, Ponyma began to consult Lin Hong on the previous vulnerabilities.

He and Liu Zhidong were busy for two days and two nights, and they only filled in most of the loopholes, and there were still two or three that did not have a better way to solve them.

Lin Hong has always been very enthusiastic about helping others, since Ponyma has come to the door, he did not skimp on his own suggestions, not only gave a more reasonable solution to the loopholes they did not solve last time, but also continued to find a lot of loopholes and bugs for them on the spot.

Last time, he only spent less than ten minutes writing that list, and this time, together with the author of the software, he found even more shortcomings.

At first, Ponyma thought that it would be difficult for the other party to find these vulnerabilities, but when he saw that he simply used the mouse and keyboard, and some strange gadgets to toss around his software, and then all kinds of unexpected bugs appeared, he was a little restless.

At the same time, his face was also embarrassed and devastated, and he almost wondered if he was suitable for the profession of programmer.

But fortunately, Lin Hong has no other meaning, it is completely on the matter, he still affirmed the implementation of many functions in the software, and encouraged their design and improvement, after all, at present, in the domestic market, there is indeed a lack of corresponding instant chat tools.

When Lin Hong tells him these problems, he often analyzes in detail why such loopholes occur and how to effectively avoid them. How to carry out software development to make the subsequent maintenance work easy and easy...... And so on and so forth.

Ponyma sat here, and when he arrived, he could only nod vigorously, and at the same time, he didn't stop in his hand, took out a pen, and recorded what Lin Hong said more important in his notebook.

He truly realized the true meaning of the phrase "listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years".

In front of Lin Hong, he seemed to be like a primary school student, only listening and nodding, and couldn't say anything at all.

It wasn't until this moment that Ponyma realized that although he had repeatedly raised his evaluation of Lin Hong, he was still very wrong, greatly underestimating Lin Hong, the other party's level had exceeded his imagination, it could be described as unfathomable, and he didn't know how he had accumulated such profound knowledge.

Ponyma sat in Lin Hong's office meeting for an afternoon, and Lin Hong also spoke for an afternoon.

After all, the other party came from afar to visit him, and although Lin Hong had a lot of things, it was not good to snub him. Moreover, he could also see that the young man sitting in front of him was not small.

There are ambitions, technology, and resources, and in such an era, such a person, the future is limitless.

Lin Hong is helping him now, and he is actually helping himself.

Because, getting along with people is always a mutually beneficial process.

If you only know how to ask blindly, then no one will want to make friends with you in the end. Only those who know how to give will have people willing to associate with him. This is not an advantage, but a general principle.

It's like these early webmasters of Huiduo.com BBS, they spent their own energy, time and money to build such a place for everyone to communicate freely, which is a kind of dedication. It is this kind of dedication that has won everyone's respect and won the friendship of masters.

This kind of respect, status, and friendship, which may seem like nothing at the moment, can actually be an important help to your success at a critical moment.

Lin Hong helps others and pays externally, which actually brings a lot of potential benefits to himself.

For example, he has earned himself a reputation for helping others before, as well as status and friendship. Friends in the circle are willing to come to visit him, and they are willing to introduce their friends to him.

If Gu Wei hadn't given him a lot of knowledge about game cracking, he wouldn't have helped and mentioned Gu Wei, and it was precisely because of his help to him that Gu Wei's later development was affected, and the other party in turn helped him and introduced him to supplier resources.

These seemingly ** things actually have their cause and effect in them.

Lin Hong has long understood this, so he has never been stingy with helping others, and he is willing to accept help from others.

His relationship with Ponyma became intimate because of this detailed conversation, and later Ponyma introduced him to many heavyweights in the circle, which greatly expanded his circle of friends.

Later, in the bidding process, although their products were much better than their competitors, PONYMA's OICQ was still unable to defeat the power of secular sophistication, and finally lost to a local company with a more powerful background in the bidding.

Ponyma had no choice but to run the OICQ on its own, and it was fully open to the public.

The number of people using OICQ has been greatly developed, and a few servers cannot meet the demand at all, and there are often disconnections and downtime. Server investment is a huge cost, and the million that Ponyma made in the stock market that year has long been left and cannot be sustained.

Ponyma wants to sell OICQ for 600,000 yuan, but others can't understand this thing at all, it's just a money-burning thing, not a money-making thing.

In the end, at the most critical time, it was Lin Hong who helped him, and invested 1 million yuan into Tengxun Company, accounting for 30% of the shares, and the company was still run by Ponyma himself.

Many years later, this investment became one of Lin Hong's largest returns, and at that time, Tencent's market value had reached more than $50 billion.
