Rebirth 2000, Ome school flower 18 years old

Early the next morning, in Huaqiang South, Shenzhen City, in a humble company on the 3rd floor of Saipan Technology Park.

It was too early, before the employees came, the two men were already sitting in front of their computer workstations.

"Old Ma, I found something interesting in Tianya last night."

A chubby, handsome young man of 27 or [-] with a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are fixed on the screen, his face is full of excitement.

He seems to have discovered a new continent.

The old Ma he was talking about was a young man sitting beside him, wearing a plaid shirt and glasses, full of manly air of science and technology.

"What's the matter? Found something interesting?" Ma Teng leaned his head over, pushed his glasses, and looked at his screen.

"Last night, a post on Tianya suddenly went viral. A netizen shared a free computer health checkup, which introduced a powerful anti-virus software."

"What is it called 361 Computer Security Manager? It's such a good name!"

"I downloaded the program when I was at home, do you know what kind of technology this thing uses?" Zhang Zhibei put on a show.

"What kind of technology can it be? Isn't antivirus software all broad-spectrum signature technology?" Ma Teng shook his head and smiled.

All current anti-virus software is signature technology, which can identify and kill viruses based on the characteristics of the virus mechanism.

"No, Ma, you guessed wrong, this is a new technology, and I also know that this technology is still in the demonstration and experiment stage, I didn't expect someone to commercialize this technology first!" Zhang Zhibei said excitedly.

He has a technical background and is also the cto of this company. He has dabbled in various Internet technologies and is very sensitive.

When he sees the application of new technology, some only have the desire and excitement for the new technology.

"Huh? What new technology?" Ma Teng was taken aback.

"Heuristic scanning technology!" Zhang Zhibei said solemnly.

"What? This, isn't this a technology that is still under research? How could someone commercialize it?" Ma Teng was taken aback, stood up from his seat, squeezed into Zhang Zhibei's position, and examined it carefully.

Sure enough, the 361 computer security housekeeper software was running on his computer, and the software was starting the tomb-sweeping program. Several groups of abnormal programs had been found, and they were suspected to be virus programs, so they were marked red.

Zhang Zhibei's eyes flashed brightly, and he said excitedly: "Hey, did you see that the above programs are all made by simulating virus programs at random, they are new and do not have any execution characteristics, but they are still recognized by this anti-virus software Out."

"That's why I'm sure that this is a heuristic scanning technology, which can only be realized with a very strong underlying inspection mechanism!"

"This is an epoch-making innovation in antivirus software!"

"I bet this software will explode!"

Ma Teng took a breath and exclaimed: "The domestic talents are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons, heuristic scanning technology has been applied!"

"Who produced and released this software?"

Zhang Zhibei smiled, "You'll know later."

After the scan is complete, a pop-up window pops up.

"Unlock more functions, please use the activation code."

The following is the method to obtain the activation code, which is to spend a certain amount at Xifeng Electronics, and you can get a set of activation codes.

Then another webpage popped up, which was the portal website of Xifeng Electronics, with introductions, prices of computer accessories for sale, and the main business of maintenance.

Looking at this series of operations, Ma Teng's eyes lit up, "This business model is fine!"

"What kind of company is this Xifeng Electronics? I don't seem to have heard of it in the Internet industry."

"Zhibei, have you heard of it?"

Zhang Zhibei shook his head, "I've never heard of this company, maybe... a genius in China came up with it?"

"I also came up with heuristic scanning technology, which is very awesome. I don't think I can do it myself."

Ma Teng pondered for a moment, and said: "If you have time, you must go to this Xifeng Electronics. I also have a hunch that this anti-virus software will definitely explode!"

"Even...the number of users touched may be more than our Penguin company!"

"The future may be a dark horse!"

Zhang Zhibei asked strangely: "Old Ma, do you want to buy him?"

Ma Teng smiled wryly, "Acquisition? How can I pay for it?"

"We are almost out of money to buy servers now, and only 10 is left in the account. If we don't expand the servers, we won't be able to support oicq in two months!"

oicq is QQ, because now the number of registered people is increasing every month, and the number of online people reaches a new high every day, Penguin's server is almost overwhelmed.

If you can't solve the financing and expand the server, the collapse will only happen sooner or later.

When this question was brought up, both of them couldn't help but fell silent.

The early stage of this instant messaging project is too expensive, and there is no return in a short period of time, and the two of them have not even figured out the profit model.

And now that the Internet bubble is in full swing, Internet companies are too difficult to raise funds, and they are all afraid of thunderstorms.

Moreover, Penguin has no clear profit model so far, and has been rejected by many investors.

"Old Ma, if...you can't stand it any longer, what do you want to do?" Zhang Zhibei suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Pain appeared on Ma Teng's face, and then he sighed heavily.

"If... if one day, we really can't continue to operate, we should sell the company."

"This company...how can it sell for 70 million?"

Zhang Zhibei also gave a wry smile, and said, "If I really get to that point, I'm really not reconciled!"

Koukou was written by him and other technicians, one line of code, one line of code, and it was all his hard work over the years.

This project is like my own child, watching it grow up day by day, watching the number of online users break through 1, [-], [-]...

He stayed up all night, updated the software, fixed bugs, and made the software better and better. Whenever someone praised this software, he could proudly tell them that this software was created by him and his colleagues. developed.

The goal of the whole Penguin company is to be the first and largest instant messaging software in China, and everyone is working hard for this goal.

Everyone wants to be the next Internet giant, but the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

As the number of users increases, they feel less joy and more anxiety.

Because the company has no money to add new servers.

At present, there are only two ways. First, the financing is successful, the servers continue to be expanded, and the operation continues. Second, the company is packaged and sold to companies with more financial strength, and they... are out of the game.

Ma Teng and Zhang Zhibei are undoubtedly more inclined to the first financing plan. They will not sell the company unless it is a last resort.

Ma Teng sat back in his seat, looking at the gray sky that hadn't fully dawned yet, with a firm expression on his face.

"Yeah, I'm not willing to give up just yet."

"Zhibei, I believe that our company will survive!"
