After rebirth, I became very good

Chapter 90 The core of anti-virus software

After Zhu Tao left, Cheng Xiaoman started calling her friends who worked on the Internet to ask about the market for anti-virus software. However, she came to the conclusion that most of the domestic anti-virus software is now used by foreign countries. A few software companies have a monopoly. If you want to make anti-virus software, not only will the investment be huge, but the market may not necessarily pay for it. You can’t say it’s free, right?

Anti-virus software is inherently a technical job. If it is free, there will be no profit point, which means that you cannot make ends meet. Normal people will not do this.

After hearing this answer, Cheng Xiaoman was a little hesitant, but out of help for his old friend, Cheng Xiaoman still asked for help, hoping to find a small anti-virus software company in Moscow with its own core technology. If the money is not enough, Cheng Xiaoman's idea is that he can invest a little more appropriately.

Xu Mo didn't know that his father's old friend was helping him, but from the information available to Xu Mo, it could be concluded that Zhu Tao could not help him, so Xu Mo could only find a way out on his own.

At this time, the white girl Alia who happened to meet on the train found him and asked Xu Mo how he was doing in Moscow.

Xu Mo replied that everything in Moscow was good, but the beautiful girl he met on the train made him unforgettable all night.

Aaliya giggled after hearing this and said, do you talk like this to every girl?

"Of course not, not every girl is as cute as you."

Xu Mo's words made Aliya happy, and Aliya asked where Xu Mo was and if he had time to play out recently.

Xu Mo said of course, but he had been contacting some Internet companies in Moscow. Unfortunately, they felt that he was an international liar.

Alia laughed even more happily after hearing this. She said, "They are so stupid. How could there be such a young international liar."

"Hmm." Xu Mo shrugged.

Aaliyah saw that Xu Mo was not joking when he said he wanted to build an anti-virus software. She thought for a moment and said that tomorrow, my uncle would be a guest at my grandma's house.

If you are interested, you can come and take a look.

"That would be great."

Because Xu Mo had no other choice but to establish a good relationship with Aliya. Aliya had lived in the capital all year round and actually had few friends when she came to Moscow, so she kept calling Xu Mo.

In order to achieve his goal, Xu Mo spared no effort to make Aliya happy, making Aliya giggle. The two of them talked on the phone for two hours a day. Fortunately, the hotel phone was easy to use and the phone bill 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. Unfortunately, Xu Mo said that he had a date tomorrow, with the girl on the train.

Zhu Tao was shocked after hearing this and said that Xu Mo and his father were really different.

"Your dad can't even fart for a long time. You, you've been dating a foreign girl in just a few days since you came out."

That being said, Zhu Tao was still afraid that something would happen to Xu Mo when he was out. Not only did he help Xu Mo buy gifts for him, but he also drove Xu Mo to his door that day.

It's just a pity that Cheng Xiaoman was let go. 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 family is a very warm family in the suburbs of Moscow. Alia said that her grandmother gave birth to twelve children in her life. Most of the twelve children now work in other places and stay at home. There are only three, Alya's three aunts and one uncle.

The younger uncle is an engineer for an anti-virus software company.

Xu Mo came over as a guest, and the whole family welcomed him.

Alia's grandmother is almost eighty years old, but she is still strong enough to do farm work. She is very happy to see her granddaughter bring back a boy of the same age.

Ask Alia in Russian, when will you get married?

Then Alia's other cousins ​​all started laughing.

Xu Mo curiously asked them why they were laughing.

Alia said: "My grandma asked me, when will you and I get married?"

Xu Mo also laughed after hearing this.

Aliya's uncle has a standard programmer appearance. He wears a dark brown sweater and black-rimmed glasses. Most of the brown hair on his head is bald. He already has the Mediterranean at the age of thirty.

Xu Mo's Russian was not very standard, but he still expressed his thoughts during the chat after the meal. He said that he hoped to buy your company's source code and then take it back to China for use.

After hearing this, my uncle couldn't help but chuckle. He said that Xu Mo was joking. Don't talk about considering compatibility issues, just to really sell it to you. You have to know that the Russian market is different from your country's. .

Xu Mo explained that he only wanted the source code, and he wanted to write a new program based on the source code.

The uncle stared at Xu Mo for a while with his dark brown eyes. He asked Xu Mo how much money he could probably afford.

Xu Mo said, it depends on your company's market share, but I can probably spend 25 million rubles.

Probably around two million.

This was no small sum. Seeing that Xu Mo was not lying, my uncle asked Xu Mo again about his needs. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me your needs again?"

Xu Mo made it very clear when he first communicated with his uncle. He said that he wanted to make an anti-virus software by himself, so he needed to purchase the source code of a foreign anti-virus software company. My uncle said that it is impossible to sell a source code company to you unless it goes bankrupt.

"I know, so I mean buy a neutered version, I don't need all the features."

"I just need him to have simple functionality."

For example, real-time monitoring, existing virus databases, heuristic scanning, and interception protection.

These are four points that all antivirus software should have.

After Xu Mo expressed his needs, his uncle thought for a long time again: "You want to spend 25 million rubles, but you only need these four points?"

Xu Mo nodded, sure and affirmative.

Alia's uncle, Ivan, stood up and said: "My friend and I can make your request, and we don't need 25 million rubles, we only need 10 million rubles, we The software you create is completely yours, what do you think?"

"Of course that's perfect!"

Xu Mo couldn't help but feel happy. He originally prepared 360 million to buy the source code, but in the end it was reduced to less than million, but it was normal, because Xu Mo's request was too simple, and basically any senior engineer could do it. You know, the first-generation Qihoo has almost the same model. It is a simple product. Zhou Hongyi never thought about making anti-virus software. At the beginning, he just wanted to do anti-forced installation, but in the end, because of it, With the word "free", the number of installations increased by more than one million in one month.

This made Zhou Hongyi focus on the anti-virus market.

Now with Yiwen's help, Xu Mo's anti-virus software source code was quickly written. When Yiwen took on private work, Xu Mo did not neglect himself. On the one hand, he practiced his Russian and English, and on the other hand, he learned about computers. The knowledge was repeatedly exchanged with Ivan and his team friends.

Xu Mo proposed real-time monitoring and virus database monitoring, which are no problem.

Ivan even updated Xu Mo with most of the international virus data, but heuristic scanning.

Because I can't understand it.

Xu Mo said that it analyzes the behavior, characteristics and other information of the file to determine whether it is a virus file.

"If you want to use this mode to prevent viruses, that is to say, most files that are similar to viruses but are not viruses will be rejected by you." Ivan reminded.

This heuristic scanning was launched in the late 360s and has not yet entered the market.

In the later stage of 360, this trick was used to fight Emperor Penguins to the death.

Directly refuse to install Penguin because Penguin is suspected of being a virus.

Xu Mo said: "We can add an independent choice and let users choose by themselves."

Yiwen nodded, thinking that there was no problem in doing so. Xu Mo paid the money anyway. In the world of capital, the rich are God.

Later, during software testing, Xu Mo also raised the issue of source code encryption protection.

Being in the land of China, Xu Mo knew very well that your skills may not be good, but your confidentiality measures must be done well, otherwise you will be ruined the next day just after you have achieved results.

The most embarrassing thing is, don’t look back and just made it yourself. The other side directly blasts that the software has no anti-virus function.

Well, aren't you in trouble? You're an anti-virus firewall. If your firewall is breached, you won't be able to mess around again in the future.

Ivan could understand this requirement, but Xu Mo required the highest level of encryption.

"Are you sure it's the highest level?" It's not that Ivan can't do it. The problem is that the core of this anti-virus software has nothing to protect.

"Well, the highest level, can't you do it?"

"That's not true. You have to pay more."

It cost less than 1 million to create the source code, but after layers of protection, it directly cost 2 million.

Evan couldn't understand this mysterious man from the East.

Euphemistically called, he is really a mysterious man from the East.

To translate it a bit, it means a fool from the East.
