Chapter 52: Hackers in Action

"Silver Mountain?"

When Chen Weidong heard this name, he instantly recalled many things.

Founded in the 70s, Silver Mountain is mainly engaged in IBM computer assembly and sales business, which is an ordinary "hardware company".

Until the end of the eighties, a young man named Qiu Bojun joined South China Yinshan Software and wrote the first Chinese office software in China, WPS1.0.

At that time, there was no comprehensive Chinese character processing software on the market, so as soon as Yinshan WPS was launched, it sold well.

Without any advertising, it only took a few months to occupy 90% of the market for word processing systems, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "monopoly".

It's just that the good times didn't last long.

In 1994, Microsoft officially entered the Chinese market.

In order to promote its own office software, Microsoft has adopted a simple and crude method, that is, the built-in binding of the Windows system to install Office.

Microsoft has successfully defeated the "monopoly" with a monopoly, the number of users of the Office software has increased dramatically, and the market share of Silver Mountain's software has been shrinking.

Eventually, Silver Mountain made significant layoffs.

It's no wonder why Infinity is recruiting former employees of Silver Mountain.

I heard that Lenovo Group has recently invested in Yinshan Company and is preparing to carry out asset restructuring, and the stock has begun to rise.

This company was definitely the most well-known software company in China in the nineties.

Not only that, Huaxia's first commercial game "Zhongguancun Apocalypse" was produced by them, and the company can be said to be able to produce many people.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the fact that Silver Mountain Company was shadowed by Microsoft's bundled marketing, and they began to learn from Microsoft and implant various plug-ins in the software.

Many computer users have reported that it is like a virus, and you can't even uninstall it, you have to reinstall the system.

There are also mandatory pop-up ads, all of which have created this precedent.

Now, this kind of "corporate culture" is brought to Infinity.

Chen Weidong couldn't stand it.

"In the future, don't recruit people from this company!" Chen Weidong said to Song Yunjiang.

Although he coveted the developers of Silver Mountain, the thought of that kind of deformed marketing method made him feel that it was far from the idea of infinity.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll let the personnel department pay attention." Song Yunjiang replied seriously.

Chen Weidong frowned slightly, and said: "Now there are more and more people in the company, not to mention the ability, the character must be uneven, it is inevitable that some people will betray the interests of the company, these are to be prevented in advance, so I decided to set up a supervision team to be responsible for the business of various departments of the company, proper understanding..... You remember to do it. ”

"Mr. Chen, I think.... With my ability, it is difficult to be qualified for my current position, so I might as well transfer to the technical department....."

"Nonsense! Who says you can't? Have you ever heard of a sentence where the leader says you can't do it, you can't do it, the leader says you can't do it, you can't do it.

"So, don't say that again! Remember, no one is born to be a leader! ”

Chen Weidong directly interrupted him, he understood Song Yunjiang's mentality very well.

The development of Infinity Company is becoming more and more formalized, and he has jumped from a small technician to the CEO of a large Internet company.

The more elites in the company, the greater the pressure on him, for fear that he will not manage the company well and become constrained in doing things.

However, Chen Weidong doesn't believe in "elite management", and a CEO who is too capable is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

"Yes! Mr. Chen, I must strictly ask the following, firmly control, and will never let this kind of thing happen! Song Yunjiang said as if he was swearing, he didn't expect Chen Weidong to be so sure of him, and he couldn't say anything if he shirked it.

"Don't worry about it, even if you lose billions, Ah Wei won't care." The third uncle patted him on the shoulder and teased with a smile.

"Well, I didn't say that." Chen Weidong couldn't laugh or cry, this is billions, is it too much to understate it so lightly.

Song Yunjiang gasped when he heard their conversation, and his heart was shocked, is the company already so rich? Don't even put billions in your eyes? It's no wonder that I don't like that advertising fee at all......

"The top priority now is to fully seize the instant messaging market, and only monopolization can have the right to speak!" Chen Weidong did not forget to admonish.

He doesn't care about Song Yunjiang and these people, what method he uses, even if it is to throw money and throw money, as long as he can squeeze other instant messaging software to death, it will be considered a success.

Song Yunjiang nodded frequently, keeping these words in his heart, he already had a plan in his heart.

"By the way, the company's information security, there is no problem, right?" Chen Weidong suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"It's not a problem, it's just very stressful." Song Yunjiang thought about it and replied with a wry smile.

Now the number of users of the "CC" software has reached more than 30 million, which makes him happy at the same time, but also brings a lot of trouble.

First of all, there are so many users, the amount of data they generate is absolutely huge, especially during the evening rush hour, the number of users online at the same time is as high as tens of millions, the server is overloaded, and it is easy to have delays.

However, the company has a lot of money, and after adding a few more servers, the situation has improved significantly.

This problem can be solved with money, but there are things that are not the case.

In this world, there are many shady people.

Maybe it's out of curiosity, maybe it's some kind of selfish desire, or maybe it's just fun and wants to hone their skills.

"CC", the software with a huge amount of user data, was naturally their preferred target.

As a result, Infinity is attacked by at least 6,000 hackers every day, but the company's information security department is not vegetarian either, and it strikes hard to keep most of the people out of the "wall".

Unfortunately, in this day and age, there are so many Windows vulnerabilities that you don't know what unknown vulnerabilities those cyber hackers will use to invade your server.

Chen Weidong knew that this problem had to be taken seriously, so he asked Song Yunjiang to build another server, and took out a huge bonus to let hackers all over the world attack their server.

As long as anyone can successfully invade, they will be rewarded with 10 million in cash.

The advantage of this is that you can quickly find security vulnerabilities and fix and improve your network defense system in a timely manner.

It's more important to give a signal to the outside world.

Lo and behold, so many hackers have attacked our servers, and we have resisted them, and we can definitely protect the privacy of our users!

Another function is to tell potential hackers.

"We're not easy to mess with."
