Chapter 88 The Core of Antivirus Software
After Zhu Tao left, Cheng Xiaoman began to call his friends who worked on the Internet, and wanted to consult about the market for antivirus software, but he came to the conclusion that the domestic antivirus software is basically monopolized by several foreign software companies, and if you want to make antivirus software, not only the investment is large, but the market does not necessarily pay, you can't say it's free, right?
Antivirus software is inherently a technical job, and if it's free, you won't find a profit point, which means you can't make ends meet, and normal people don't do it.
Hearing such an answer, Cheng Xiaoman was a little hesitant, but out of help to his old friend, Cheng Xiaoman still trusted the relationship, hoping to find a small antivirus software company in Moscow with its own core technology.
Xu Mo didn't know that his father's old friend was helping him, but from Xu Mo's existing information, it could be concluded that Zhu Tao couldn't help him, so Xu Mo could only find a way out.
At this time, Alia, the white girl she happened to meet on the train, found her and asked Xu Mo how she was doing in Moscow.
Xu Mo replied that it was good to go anywhere in Moscow, but the beautiful girl he met on the train made him unforgettable all night.
Alia giggled when she heard this, and said Do you talk like that to every girl?
"Of course not, not every girl is as cute as you."
Xu Mo's words made Alia very happy, and Alia asked where Xu Mo was and if she had time to come out to play recently.
Xu Mo said that of course he could, but he had been contacting some Internet companies in Moscow, but it was a pity that they felt that they were a big international liar.
Alia laughed even more happily, and said, "They are so stupid, how can there be such a young international liar." ”
"Uh-huh." Xu Mo shrugged.
Alia saw that Xu Mo was not joking when he said that he wanted to make an antivirus, and after a little thought, she said that tomorrow, my uncle would come to my grandmother's house as a guest.
If you're interested, you can stop by and have a look.
"It would be great if that were the case."
Because Xu Mo has no other way, he can only have a good relationship with Alia, Alia lives in the capital all the year round, and she actually has no friends when she comes to Moscow, and then she keeps talking to Xu Mo on the phone.
And Xu Mo did not spare any effort to coax Alia to be happy in order to achieve his goal, which made Alia giggle, the two of them had to talk on the phone for two hours a day, and the phone number of the hotel was not too expensive.
After Zhu Tao came back from work, he told Xu Mo that he would take Xu Mo to meet someone tomorrow, and that person was naturally Cheng Xiaoman, but it was a pity that Xu Mo said that he had a date tomorrow, so he would be with the girl on the train.
Zhu Tao was taken aback when he heard this, and said that Xu Mo and his father were really different.
"Your dad can't make a fart for a long time, hey, he's been dating other foreign girls in a few days."
That being said, but when he was out of the house, Zhu Tao was still afraid that Xu Mo would have an accident, so he not only helped Xu Mo buy a gift for coming to the door, but also drove Xu Mo to the door that day.
It's just a pity that Cheng Xiaoman's pigeons were released, Cheng Xiaoman was not unhappy after learning about this incident, but was a little funny.
Xu Mo is really completely different from his father.
Alia's grandmother's house is in the suburbs of Moscow, it is a very warm family, listen to Alia said, her grandmother, gave birth to twelve children in her life, now most of these twelve children are working in other places, only three stay at home, Alia's three aunts, and a little uncle.
My uncle is an engineer at an antivirus software company.
Xu Mo came over as a guest, and their family was quite welcoming.
Alia's grandmother was almost eighty years old, but she was still strong enough to do farm work, and she was happy to see her granddaughter come back with a boy of the same age.
Ask Alia in Russian, when are you getting married?
Then the rest of Alia's cousins all laughed.
Xu Mo asked them curiously what they were laughing at.
Alia said, "My grandmother asked me, when will I marry you?" ”
Xu Mo also laughed when he heard this.
Alia's little uncle was a standard programmer-looking, wearing a dark brown sweater, black-rimmed glasses, and most of the brown hair on his head was bald, and he already had the Mediterranean Sea at the age of thirty.
Xu Mo's Russian is not very standard, but he still expressed his thoughts in the process of casual conversation after dinner, and he said that he hoped to buy your company's source code and use it back home.
Hearing this, the little uncle couldn't help but chuckle, he said that Xu Mo was joking, don't talk about considering compatibility, that is, really sell it to you, you must know that the Russian market is different from your country.
Xu Mo elaborated, so he only wants the source code, and he wants to write new programs based on the source code.
The little uncle's dark brown eyes stared at Xu Mo for a while, and he asked Xu Mo, how much money can he probably come up with?
Xu Mo said, it depends on your company's market share, but I can probably come up with 25 million rubles.
It's about two million.
This is not a small amount, the little uncle saw that Xu Mo was not lying, and then asked Xu Mo about his needs again, pondered for a while, and said, "Can you say your needs again?" ”
Xu Mo had already made it very clear when he first communicated with his uncle, he said that he wanted to make his own antivirus software, so he needed to buy the source code of foreign antivirus software companies.
Uncle said that it is impossible for the source code company to be sold to you unless someone goes bankrupt.
"I know, so I mean buy a castrated version, I don't need all the features."
"I just need him to have simple features."
For example, real-time monitoring, existing virus databases, heuristic scanning, and blocking protection.
Here are four things that all antivirus software should have.
After Xu Mo said his needs, the little uncle thought for a long time again: "You want to take out 25 million rubles, but you only need these four points?" ”
Xu Mo nodded, sure and affirmative.
Alia's little uncle, that is, Evan, stood up and said, "My friend and I can make this request of yours, and we don't need 25 million rubles, we only need 10 million rubles, and the software we make belongs to you personally, what do you think?" ”
"Of course it's perfect!"
Xu Mo couldn't help but be overjoyed, he originally prepared six million to buy the source code, but in the end it was cut to less than one million, but it was normal, because Xu Mo's requirements were too simple, basically a senior engineer could make it, you know, a generation of Qihoo 360 is almost like this, simple appearance, Zhou Hongyi never thought of doing antivirus software, he only wanted to do anti-forced installation at the beginning, but because of the word free, the number of installations in a month increased by more than one million.
This made Zhou Hongyi focus on the antivirus market.
Now with Ivan's help, Xu Mo's antivirus software source code was quickly written, and when Ewen took over private work, Xu Mo did not waste himself, on the one hand, he practiced his Russian and English, and on the other hand, he repeatedly communicated with Ivan about computer knowledge and his team friends.
Xu Mo proposed real-time monitoring, and virus database monitoring is no problem.
Evan even updated most of the virus data in the world to Xu Mo, but it was a heuristic scan.
Because I don't understand it.
Xu Mo said that it is to analyze the behavior, characteristics and other information of the file to determine whether it is a virus file.
"If you're going to use this mode to prevent viruses, that is, most files that are just virus-like but not virus-like will be kept out of you." Evan reminded.
This heuristic scan was introduced in the late 360 and has not yet entered the market.
In the later period of 360, it was with this trick that he fought with the emperor penguin to the death.
Directly refuse to install the penguin, because the penguin is suspected of being a virus.
"We can add a discretionary choice and let the user choose," Xu said. ”
Evan nodded, feeling that it was okay to do so, anyway, Xu Mo paid the money, in the capital world, the one who has money is God.
Later, during the software test, Xu Mo also raised the issue of source code encryption protection.
In the land of China, Xu Mo knows that your skills can be bad, but your confidentiality measures must be done well, otherwise you will be rotten the next day if you just make achievements.
The most pitiful thing is, don't look back here and just get it out yourself, and the opposite side directly blasts and says that the software has no anti-virus function.
Isn't he a pit, he is an anti-virus firewall, and if his firewall is breached, he will have no face to mix in the future.
Evan understands this request, but Xu Mo requires encryption to be at the highest level.
"Are you sure it's superlative?" It's not that Ivan can't do it, but the problem is that the kernel of this antivirus software doesn't have anything to protect.
"Well, the superlative, can't do it?"
"That's not it, you have to pay more."
It cost less than a million to make the source code, but it directly got two million by doing layers of protection.
Evan couldn't understand this mysterious man from the East.
As the name suggests, he is really a mysterious man from the East.
A little translation, it's a fool from the East.
