Chapter 960 - Adapting measures to local conditions
"Boss."
"If you plan to do this, I'm afraid it will cause resentment among those companies, and it's not a lot of money anyway, and we can take it all by ourselves."
"If you're going to use these bugs that you've discovered to ask those companies for money, it's no different from normal hacking."
"It might even be easy to step on the line."
After a moment of silence, Luo Xiang couldn't help but speak.
Originally, the boss was able to build this website, and he was able to pull the top hackers over to help this website.
That in itself is a success.
Especially the website activities held later, it is a surprise for people to spend a little money to do big things.
Although some money was invested in the early stage.
But as long as you have a good relationship with those companies, these companies will naturally be willing to join the vulnerability hunters at that time.
So.
Bug Hunter is considered to have completed the closed loop.
Arguably.
And so it goes.
The future vulnerability hunter will even become a good friend of the world's top 500 companies, and it is also the partner that these companies need.
In this way, the benefits for Gu Xiu are even more obvious.
Imagine that.
In the future, Gu Xiu will be able to reach agreements and complete cooperation with most of the top companies in the world by relying on this platform, and the energy and benefits in this are obvious.
But now.
Gu Xiu's decision made Luo Xiang feel unfamiliar.
The strangeness lies in the boss this time......
It seems that some petty family members are angry.
In the past, the boss did everything, isn't it the kind that is willing to let the child set the wolf, and he will throw money when he says that he will throw money, and his brows will not wrinkle.
Whether it was Penguin, Taobao before, or Taijiang and Facebook after that, Gu Xiu never looked at the revenue ratio in the early stage, as long as he asked for money, he would immediately throw money into it.
Highlight an atmosphere, highlight a boldness.
But now.
This time, the boss should have been a normal upfront investment, but now it seems that he is pursuing profits excessively.
Even the money for holding the event seems to be a little reluctant.
And this is also what makes Luo Xiang feel strange.
The boss who used to have a lot of money and spent money without blinking suddenly began to be greedy and calculating?
Actually, this is not a disadvantage.
Here's the problem.
If this is done, it means that the bug hunter platform is bound to cause resentment, and even make those companies no longer friendly to the platform.
This is clearly unreasonable.
Hasn't the boss always paid attention to harmony and making money, but now he is suddenly like this?
"Harmony makes money, this kind of thing may apply to most businesses and transactions in this world, but there are some things that cannot be expected to make money with harmony."
Gu Xiu obviously knew Luo Xiang's worries, and at this time he shook his head and said directly:
"A hacker is a hacker."
"Even hackers who have been verified by their real names are enemies to many large enterprises, do you expect us to smile at them, and they will laugh at us?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid our website won't go long."
"Huh?" Luo Xiang was stunned.
He was a smart man, and he quickly understood what Gu Xiu meant:
"Boss, you save money this time, the main thing is to express your position?"
He understood.
In terms of the platform of Vulnerability Hunter, Gu Xiu never thought about making money with anger, and he didn't even plan to have a good relationship with any company.
This is intended to avoid adding some messy interpersonal interactions from the start.
"What we offer is a bounty platform."
"And in this platform, Party A and Party B seem to have nothing to do with us, but fools know that we are on the side of hackers."
"In that case, we should be more neutral."
"Hackers and companies used to be incompatible, and now you expect to be friends with companies, even if you are sincere, but is the other party willing to believe you?"
At this point, Luo Xiang understood, and shook his head at this time: "Once bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and there are not a few companies in the world that have suffered losses due to hackers, even if we want to make friends with them, I'm afraid these companies will not look at us squarely." ”
"Correct!"
Gu Xiu snapped his fingers: "So, we need to give ourselves an identity card." ”
"We have been a neutral organization from the beginning, and our service sides are completely different camps, and we don't need any deep contact, let alone any messy emotional foundation."
"Since it's a bounty hunter."
"Then there will always be only one person who cares about it."
"Money!"
"Party A gives money, Party B does things, and this is what we need to be responsible for. Of course, it also includes Party A's simple payment and Party B's reliable work. ”
"That's all."
"Therefore, we don't need to deal with those companies at all, we just need to take money to do things, and only in this way can we make this website go long-term."
Hearing this, Luo Xiang completely understood.
What the boss wants is to convey to the outside world the attitude of the platform Bug Hunter.
Here we don't talk about human feelings, only about money and loopholes.
Other than that, it's all.
This is indeed beneficial, it can ensure the fairness of the platform, and at the same time, it can avoid being close to some companies, causing other companies to be afraid of leakage and stay away from the platform of vulnerability hunters.
Websites of this nature.
There should only be money in the eyes!
As for the rest, it's all, it's all a hidden danger!
The moment he figured it out, Luo Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for Gu Xiu's reminder, he might have really made a big mistake this time.
Think about it.
This time, he took the loophole and took the initiative to find those companies to discuss cooperation, and even gave all these bugs to the intended company for free in order to show his sincerity.
Those companies are all human beings, and they will definitely accept the benefits of this time, and then settle in smoothly, and may even directly open some bounty business in return.
At first glance, it seems pretty good.
But in fact, this creates a hidden danger for the future, if the big customers here are close to the website, then will his competitors still want to trust the website?
When a place that requires absolute neutrality, absolute impartiality, there are some flaws.
That is the time of destruction!
Plainly.
It is to adapt to local conditions!
Vulnerability Hunter is different from all the current subordinate companies!
But while thinking about this clearly, Luo Xiang was worried again:
"But the boss ......"
"If we have to charge for the bug service this time, will there be people who are unwilling to pay, or even unwilling to deal with us, and make enemies with us from now on?"
"In that case, will it slow down the Bug Hunter on the right track?"
This concern is legitimate.
If it's just a few small bugs, and people are too lazy to fix them, or even too lazy to ask for you, you give them for free, which is considered to be a favor.
But if you want money?
I'm sorry, I'm not interested, there are bugs, there are bugs, there are many bugs in this world, I don't fix me, I don't care what you can do to me?
But after this concern was spoken.
Luo Xiang found out.
Gu Xiu, who was on the other side, chuckled lightly:
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Yes?
"After all, although our website has received a lot of attention now, this attention is still too low."
"If there is such a good opportunity."
"Isn't that just a chance for us to become famous?"
