Yanjing, Dongshan Villa.
Lu Fei turned over lazily, holding his arms around him, and then his consciousness gradually came to his senses.
"Yuanyuan..."
After yawning and shouting twice, she remembered that Gao Yuanyuan, as her best friend and bridesmaid, accompanied Gong Xiaojing to the bridal shop for a fitting.
Stretch, then get up and wash up. Lying in the steaming hot jacuzzi, water spurts out from the nozzles on the inner wall, washing the whole body, stretching the pores, and the remaining sleepiness is swept away.
"Dudu, dudu..."
Lu Fei picked up the extension installed in the bathroom and dialed Lu Huateng's phone. The wedding day was getting closer and closer. As members of the groomsmen group, the two of them needed to be familiar with the various aspects of entry, speeches, ring handing, and even There may also be live rehearsals.
"Come to Yanjing seven or eight days in advance. Is there any problem?"
"No, it just so happens that Penguin Security Butler's headquarters is being moved to Yanjing. I can personally lead the team north."
Lu Huateng changed the subject and talked about Qihoo 360's battle with Ali: "Zhou Hongyi was so damaging that he made Lu Yun anxious. He not only cut off all cooperation, but also called on Internet peers and venture capital funds to never have anything to do with Qihoo 360." Any involvement.”
"Zhou Hongyi picked a good time."
Lu Fei leaned on the bath pillow comfortably, "I also picked a good market."
Lu Huateng agreed very much. The reason why "Panda Burning Incense" has such terrifying lethality is that none of the anti-virus software these days is free. As a result, less than 10% of computers have genuine software installed, and more than 90% have to install it. "Streaking".
The equivalent of more than 200 million Internet users are exposed to viruses and plug-ins every day, which is a huge pain point.
If there is a genuine free anti-virus software that can completely solve the problem, it can capture the traffic of hundreds of millions of Internet users.
That's what penguins do!
The number of QQ Security Manager has exceeded 30 million users in less than half a month.
It can be seen that the world has been suffering from the virus for a long time.
"We absolutely cannot lose the free anti-virus market to Zhou Hongyi, nor can we allow him to develop peacefully. As long as we give him a chance, sooner or later he will deal with us like he dealt with Lu Yun."
Lu Fei will not let QQ War 360 reappear in his previous life. He must nip the threat in the cradle in advance. QQ Security Butler is not only a traffic entrance, a suppression weapon, but also a moat for penguins.
"Don't worry, he will never have this chance."
Lu Huateng was full of confidence. How could the anti-virus software developed by Penguin be comparable to Zhou Hongyi's lame Chinese version?
The anti-virus function launched by 360 Security Guard is completely adapted from Kaspersky’s anti-virus software, kav6.0, which sells for 320 yuan on the market, with only some simple localization development.
Although it is free, users may not necessarily pay for it. It is laggy, clumsy, and takes up memory. The key is that it does not meet the usage habits of Chinese users. So far, it has only had 700,000 or 800,000 downloads.
It's not at the same level as QQ Security Manager.
After all, it has withstood the internationally authoritative vb100 test, and its results in killing worms and polymorphic viruses are close to full marks. One of the most important indicators, the "latest virus detection rate" is 77.10%, far ahead of the 50 %The level of peers in the upper and lower circles is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
"No flaws at all?"
Lu Fei tilted his head and thought for a while.
"Of course not perfect."
Lu Huateng directly pointed out that the current "active defense" mode is too simple and crude, "Are those who put their hands into other people's pockets thieves? Not necessarily, it may be his wife, but our anti-virus software does not care about these, as long as they put their hands into the mouth Bags will be treated as viruses, so the chance of reporting a false kill is very high."
"This is a big problem. Is there any solution to the new version developed?" Lu Fei scooped up water and wiped his face.
"The team is still researching it for the time being, but one company has a ready-made one, and it is very likely that it can be used by us."
"Which one?"
"Oriental Micro Point."
"Is there such an anti-virus software company?"
Lu Fei was stunned and searched his memory over and over again, but still found nothing and couldn't help but wonder.
"It's normal that I haven't heard of it. It was only when they mentioned it that I learned that there is such a world-class anti-virus expert in China, named Liu Xu, who is also the inventor of Rising."
"Rising's?"
"Ex-Rising, he started his own business a few years ago. The 'Weidian' he developed is the country's first active defense anti-virus software, which is the technology asset we want to acquire."
"He's willing to sell the company to us?"
Lu Fei was astonished. It stands to reason that such an expert in the industry, coupled with such a world-class anti-virus software, should have become a blockbuster. How come this is completely unheard of in his past life and this life.
"Definitely!" Lu Huateng said firmly.
"Why?"
"Because he had to sell."
Lu Huateng said: "In our country, anti-virus and prevention products require a sales license. Without a license, they cannot be put on the market. It is precisely this license that 'Micro Point' is stuck. The product was successfully developed as early as last year, but it has not been able to be launched." Pass the agency’s product testing.”
"The product is unqualified?" Lu Fei frowned.
"It has nothing to do with the product, it's completely an off-site factor."
Lu Huateng elaborated: "As soon as Weidian applied for testing, the Internet Monitoring and Testing Center received a report from Ruixing, reporting that Dongfang Weidian deliberately spread viruses that only Weidian can detect and make profits from it."
"Is the evidence solid or is he falsely accused?"
Lu Fei disagreed. This was an unspoken rule of the anti-virus company. One hand was to kill viruses and the other was to release viruses. The old version of the anti-virus software could not withstand the new viruses, so it was natural to update the version.
Once you update, you have to pay.
Otherwise, how can anti-software companies make money without updating?
"The evidence seems to be conclusive. Many companies such as Jiangmin, Kingsoft, and Venus have testified. Therefore, let alone testing, Weidian cannot even apply for testing. The suspected executives were also arrested and are still squatting in jail."
】
Lu Huateng said: "But I asked many people in the team, including the hackers who were recruited, and they all felt that there was something fishy in it."
"You want to say you were targeted by the entire industry?"
Lu Fei touched his chin.
"It is possible. At least Liu Xu has been spending money to appeal. He has been appealing for more than a year, but he has nowhere to appeal."
Lu Huateng analyzed this first case of deliberately spreading a network virus, and the reported motivation for the rise was intriguing.
Today, in the field of enterprise-level anti-virus software, Rising is the absolute dominant player.
Especially in the area of government procurement, it accounts for more than 65% of the country's share, simply because Rising is a 100% domestically developed anti-virus software, which is safe and reliable.
The inventor is Liu Xu.
The micropoint he developed is the next generation of domestic anti-virus software with complete independent intellectual property rights, which is completely the latest version of Rising.
How can Ruixing allow Weidian to survive until it goes public?
"Emm, it's not impossible."
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.
Since I have witnessed real business wars, it is not surprising that people cut network cables, steal official seals, poison people and deliberately frame them.
After all, reality can be stranger than imagination.
But if this is the case, the anti-virus software industry is really in troubled waters. In order to suppress competitors, they have resorted to any means.
"Now Liu Xu is desperate. He raised all the funds to start his own business. It is said that he even mortgaged his house to the bank. If Weidian is really wronged, if we intervene at this time, we will be able to acquire top-notch companies by then. With anti-virus products and R&D teams, and with a world-class anti-virus expert like Liu Xu sitting in charge, the only trouble is..."
"Isn't helping Weidian equivalent to starting a war with traditional anti-virus software companies like Ruixing and Jiangmin?" Lu Fei said directly.
"That's right."
There was a hint of hesitation in Lu Huateng's tone.
"Wrong, Hua Teng, you are wrong."
"I was wrong?"
"You are so wrong. When our free anti-virus software enters the field where they charge, we have already started a war with them. It's just that we are penguins. Ruixing and Jiangmin are afraid of using the same tactics they used to deal with Dongfang Micropoint. penguin."
Lu Fei had no intention of cooperation at all.
It is impossible to establish an anti-virus software association like the express delivery industry, negotiate and formulate industry regulations, and then unite companies across the country to target foreign software and domestic hackers. It is impossible!
If possible, can 360 be free?
If Zhou Hongyi hadn't been surrounded by this group of anti-software companies with vested interests and was forced to have no way out, otherwise he wouldn't have announced it was free.
The anti-virus software industry has been dominated by a few old forces such as Rising, Kingsoft, and Jiangmin. Everyone is hello, I am hello, and everyone is hello. Other industries are engaged in price wars, and the prices are getting lower and lower.
Only, the anti-virus software is getting better and better.
With such a group of insects, how can we develop anti-virus software and protect the national network security?
"You're right, I was so wrong."
Lu Huateng suddenly realized: "Free and paid are incompatible, and we are destined to go to war with them."
Lu Fei pinched a ball of bubbles in his hand: "It's a shame that they don't want to make progress. If we add all the genuine users together, the total number is less than 10 million, and the total profit for a year is estimated to be less than 1 billion. Maybe we Just tens of millions of dollars, hum."
"And their products are already outdated."
Lu Huateng said: "Take Ruixing for example. The antivirus speed is average, the recognition rate is not high, false positives are common, and it cannot deal with more powerful viruses, such as this time's Panda Burning Incense, which has not been released yet. It’s a specialized killing tool, but the renewal price is getting more and more expensive. It costs 198 yuan, which is shameful.”
"If we can acquire Dongfang Weidian, we have a 100% chance of winning. Even if they come ten times, we can still fight ten!"
Lu Fei seriously told Lu Huateng to contact Liu Xu secretly and not to let anyone know. If he was really wronged, he would help him to the end regardless of whether the acquisition was successful or not.
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret."
Lu Huateng also saw that Wei Dian was the key to breaking the game, but he didn't know why: "But how to make Dongfang Wei Dian overturn is also a problem. We are not Sherlock Holmes after all."
"No rush, let's see if Liu Xu is willing to cooperate."
Lu Fei smiled and said: "As for me, I will find an opportunity to find out with Lei Jun. Dongfang Weidian deliberately poisoned me. Isn't there Jinshan as a witness? He can't be ignorant of the situation at all, right?"
The two of them confirmed the plan and division of labor over the phone. By the time it was over, the hot water in the bathtub had turned into lukewarm water.
"Look at the dark hole ahead, kill him without leaving any trace..."
Lu Fei hummed a little tune and walked out of the bathroom leisurely after taking a bath. He saw that the mobile phone that was originally placed on the bedside table fell to the ground for no reason. When he picked it up, he found that there were 3 missed calls and 2 unreceived text messages. All come from the empress Gao Yuanyuan.
"Hiss~"
His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly browsed through the pages. Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, he just urged himself to go to the bridal shop.
The empress has an order, how dare she disobey it.
Lu Fei casually finished his breakfast, and Wang Ben, who had already prepared his car, took him straight to Wangfujing Street.
The huge bridal shop was empty.
The store manager, including the store clerk, will only serve one group of distinguished customers today——
Gong Xiaojing and her bridesmaids.
"Why don't you answer my call?"
Gao Yuanyuan was wearing a cool blue bridesmaid dress, and her voice was full of resentment: "The line for home phone calls has been busy. Tell me honestly, what are you doing?
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Take a shower."
Gao Yuanyuan came closer and smelled it. The strong fragrance was very familiar. It was indeed the shower gel she bought, so she stopped pursuing it, let alone asking about the busy phone line.
You need to leave some private space for men...
"What's wrong with calling me?"
Lu Fei glanced around and saw Gong Xiaojing being enchanted by the stars, walking back and forth in the fitting room, changing into another wedding dress.
"I haven't chosen a wedding dress that I'm satisfied with. I just want to find a consultant of the opposite sex. Since your aesthetics are always online, I decided it would be you." Gao Yuanyuan said with a grin.
"How can I choose a wedding dress when Gaodong is getting married?"
Lu Fei's eyes widened and he waved his hands and said, "Absolutely not. No one can do this for me. We can only let Gaodong do it himself."
Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "But a certain shady employer never approved his fake work. He was so busy that he slept until he woke up naturally and took a bath by the way."
"Hey, didn't I give Gaodong a wedding leave?"
Lu Fei suddenly realized that he did not call Liu Yidong on his phone first, but called Zhang Yong, letting him, the "Cao Shen", take over the responsibility of Double Eleven. Then he called Liu Yidong and scolded him with a slap in the face. What are you doing? , come here quickly!
"Mr. Lu, I think I'll let Xiaojing choose. I won't go there. I'm face-blind and don't know whether it's beautiful or not."
Liu Edong was on the phone, aggrieved.
"..."
Lu Fei's mouth twitched slightly, he wonders if his wife is beautiful, right?
Before he could open his mouth, Gao Yuanyuan grabbed the phone and said earnestly that a wedding dress is a woman's dream. Although she is accompanied by a group of girlfriends, a group is not as good as a groom. No matter what, this dream must be accompanied by Liu Haodong.
"Hurry up, I'll give you, um, 15 minutes, you have to be here!" She said with a joking tone: "Otherwise, it will be twice as difficult to pick up the bride then, so you can have some juice~"
After finishing his words, he hung up the phone without giving any chance to escape.
"President Gao is tall and hard!"
Lu Fei gave a thumbs up.
"Hmph, come on less."
Gao Yuanyuan let out a breath, walked straight to Gong Xiaojing who was trying on clothes, and whispered softly that Liu Yidong would be here soon.
"Thank you, Yuanyuan, I'm sorry to bother you."
Gong Xiaojing was smiling. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Fei sitting on the sofa, doing nothing and yawning, and suggested:
"Yuanyuan, why don't you take this opportunity to try on a wedding dress? Your man, eh, doesn't happen to be here!"
"Me? Let me forget it..."
Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel excited, "You are the protagonist today."
"I don't mind if you steal the show. Go and give it a try. It's a rare opportunity. Go ahead and give it a try." Gong Xiaojing asked the store manager to allocate half of the staff to serve Gao Yuanyuan.
"Ha~"
Lu Fei was busy with his own affairs, sometimes answering the phone and sometimes sending text messages. He was a little listless and soon "wilted".
"Hey, wake up, what do you think?"
At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan walked out wearing a wedding dress.
Faced with such a simple scoring question, Lu Fei's eyes shone and he immediately became energetic. He smacked his lips and said, "You had to show me this earlier, so I wouldn't be sleepy anymore."
"Pfft."
Gao Yuanyuan gave her a cute look that said, "You know what's going on?" She turned half a circle to the left and then half a circle to the right: "Then tell me, how are you doing?"
"No, absolutely not."
"Doesn't it look good?"
"No, no, no, you dress too well."
Lu Fei whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "She's more beautiful than the bride, but how can this be done? Yuanyuan, you are the bridesmaid. You have to be low-key, how can you steal the limelight? This kind of thing makes me, the best man, Come on, it’s enough for me to steal Gaodong’s limelight..."
"Fuck you, you're such a talker!"
Gao Yuanyuan clenched her pink fist and punched it lightly: "Is it really that good-looking?"
"This wedding dress is ordinary, but when you put it on, it will be extraordinary. Sure enough, you will look good no matter what you wear." Lu Fei secretly added: "If you don't wear something more..."
"Don't say it!"
Gao Yuanyuan was so embarrassed that she turned her head away and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were sparkling and her thoughts were wandering. She unconsciously thought of the day when they got married. That day must be beautiful...
