Li Zhuang is not very good at choosing names. He basically follows what others call him. The first thing he launched was a personal version of computer security management software, which was put on some well-known software sites on the Internet. There are a lot of new software on the Internet. It is unrealistic to expect moderators to test and recommend them. He has friends in the software industry, but he doesn't want to contact them because it's easy to leak information. The original idea was to use well-known software forums to promote it. Who would have thought that another job came from the old company, and I forgot about it in a hurry.
The first thing people noticed about this unsightly name "Yongyi Computer Security Management Expert" was actually its Windows system optimization function.
A guy who always likes to install software but is not very proficient in computers found that his computer was getting slower and slower and the ghost disk could not be found. He didn't want to reinstall the system, so he thought of system optimization software. He had used all the old software before, but didn't feel very good about it, so he kept looking for new software.
He saw this new software called "Yongyi Computer Security Management Expert", and his first impression was very bad. It was just following the trend. When I opened the installation page, the interface was very crude and not beautiful at all, which made me feel even worse.
"This is Yongyi Software. Why don't you hire a better artist? You still want to start a company to make money?"
After the software is installed, it doesn¡¯t have many functions. I clicked on Computer System Optimization, and the software automatically runs, deletes what needs to be deleted, handles what needs to be processed, and then the system prompts to restart.
"Hey, I didn't expect that this broken software is not bad. The system is not much different from when it was newly installed." He was happy for a moment and felt that it was still useful, so he didn't delete it.
This guy likes to run around naked. Of course, he feels that there is no valuable information in his computer. No way, he can just ghost it. It doesn¡¯t matter anyway, and it doesn¡¯t slow down the computer.
"Those who like to run naked and also like some kind of romantic websites are often prone to poisoning, especially those who search for romantic websites all over the world, and they often get sick. Like many single men, this guy has this hobby. He used to be addicted to drugs, so ghosting is a must.
It¡¯s okay at first. You won¡¯t get poisoned every time. After streaking for a month, he still played around and was not poisoned. The streaking man was a little surprised. This bad butler was not bad, so he recommended it to a friend. This friend used it for a few days and thought it worked, so he contacted the moderator of a software forum.
The moderator has done detailed testing.
The software interface is close to that of Comodo. Could it be that the developer of this software was also a Comodo player? The moderator also likes comodo, so I can see the imitation style at a glance. It even has a sandbox, and there is a module that is close to defense+.
"You don't have to plagiarize like this. Chinese people, why did you end up like this?" The moderator knocked everyone down with a stick. Some of his ideas are right and some are wrong. Li Zhuang really liked Comodo's firewall at first. He did some research and thought it was good, but the settings were too cumbersome, the hips (active defense) was too stupid, and the module had no problems. The software he designed borrowed ideas from comodo, so others felt it was plagiarism. In fact, the two softwares are very different in essence.
Looking at various functions one by one, the moderator found that many functions are very easy to use. They are all one-click settings, which are very similar to a certain number. Even those who don¡¯t know much about computers can get started smoothly. The system optimization function is the best he has ever seen. The best of software.
¡°Could it be that the gold was placed in the sand?¡± The moderator suddenly became interested. Various virus tests, various network attacks, the moderators' mouths are opening wider and wider.
"This thing is powerful. It has anti-virus and firewall functions. The sandbox level is much higher than Comodo. Hips is so smart." He excitedly wrote a test report overnight and pinned it to the top of the forum.
The number of people downloading has gradually increased, but there have been no calls to place orders. In the office that had just been renovated with environmentally friendly materials, Yongzi sat with a sullen expression on his face and called Li Zhuang: "Tou Zhuang, there's no one I can call now. How is your software? How about we do some advertising?"
Li Zhuang, who was extremely busy, told him to just do whatever he had to do, and his salary would still be paid anyway. Yongzi thought about it, and it was right. Li Zhuang was the boss. As long as he was paid, he could do other things. There was nothing he couldn't do. If it didn't work, he could just experience the taste of a boss.
The world is like this. There are always people who like to eat crabs. Besides, the prices at Li Zhuangding are not expensive. The three-month trial period has not yet expired, and there are occasional transfers from online banking. Lizhuang's server program has a financial module, which automatically sends relevant registration codes and the like. He didn't make it clear to Yongzi at the beginning. Yongzi's wife only discovered this when she went to the bank at the end of the month, and she actually sold more than 900 units.
Yongzi hurriedly reported the good news to Li Zhuang: "Tou Zhuang, you have made a profit. You sold more than 900 sets." Li Zhuang was very happy, "Sure enough, real gold is not afraid of fire." He was very satisfied there.Feeling.
As time went by, more and more software was sold. The most in one month was close to 10,000 units, and nearly 1,000 units were even sold overseas. The funds were transferred to the HSBC account set up by Li Zhuang in the name of the company. . Seeing that there is a market overseas, Li Zhuang contacted an Australian friend he knew before called Damian (Domien) and asked him to act as an agent for the overseas sales of this software. The accounts would be divided into 37 and 37, of course, Li Zhuangqi and Damian three. . The personal version costs one hundred dollars per set, and the enterprise version costs two thousand dollars per set. The auxiliary software such as assistants were also modified and changed to zodiac signs. Others were adjusted according to foreign customs, and experts were hired to do the art. There are no changes in the country, it is still the same.
Lizhuang¡¯s software has not been promoted in any way, and its scope is also very narrow. It does not threaten the market of those big software companies. It only relies on word-of-mouth to slowly spread in small circles, and gradually forms its own fixed user group.
Some good people set up the Yongyi Security Forum and called on the company to develop more functions and become the No. 1 domestic software. Later, when the company did not respond, the popularity of the forum became very poor, and there were only a few people on it. .
Li Zhuang himself sold about 20 sets of the domestic enterprise version of the software through his own circle. The others were sold by Yongzi everywhere in order to prove his existence, and he sold two to three thousand sets. Dominion from abroad is very aggressive. It is convenient for him to go abroad and he recommends it everywhere. In addition, foreign countries have the habit of using genuine software. In just three months, he actually sold nearly 5,000 sets.
The number of users is slowly accumulating. There is no sales team or service team. There are only a few people in the company, and it¡¯s a mess. Sometimes when property management companies come to collect property fees, they all wonder if this company is a handbag company. If it is not a handbag company, there will be few customers and it should be closed down soon. One time, Yongzi's wife was away, and the little girl at the front desk couldn't make the decision. She was almost made to cry by the security guard who came to collect the property fee.
??None of the companies and residents in this building would have thought that this unknown company could actually earn over 100 million yuan in revenue within a year. How high is its net profit? According to the company's operating model, it can be imagined. The conscientious part-time accountant went to great lengths to help the company avoid taxes reasonably. Money is the most motivating factor. The salary and bonus she receives in this company are several times higher than those elsewhere combined. She has a separate office here called part-time, but she uses it as her home base most of the time. As long as it doesn't delay things, you can come when you want, take leave when you want, and no one will care about it. In her opinion, this is simply paradise.
The busiest people in the company are Yongzi and the two servers. Of course, Li Zhuang is a non-staff person.
Yongzi was a little embarrassed and went to Li Zhuang several times to ask him to adjust the dividend ratio, saying that this was all the result of Li Zhuang and that he had done nothing. Li Zhuang insisted, but Yongzi let it go. He knew that Li Zhuang didn't care too much about it now. Shame was also a motivation, so Yongzi began to learn software knowledge by himself. Gradually, he was able to talk a few words. With his good eloquence, he could sometimes stun ordinary customers with his talk, and he became a good software sales manager.
Yongzi communicated with Li Zhuang several times about sales strategies. He didn¡¯t understand Li Zhuang¡¯s thoughts at first, but later he understood Li Zhuang¡¯s concerns and stopped raising this issue with Li Zhuang.
¡°Nothing in this world is impermeable, it¡¯s just a matter of time.
The first time the company was harassed was by a well-known domestic software company. They called and said they wanted to buy the company's software, but the price was not high. Based on the company's sales evaluation, they gave a purchase price of 30 million. Naturally, Li Zhuang would not agree, and he had no intention of selling it. Both overt and covert methods were used, and Yongzi was unable to cope. Li Zhuang also asked Director Yang to mobilize relations and put out fires everywhere.
¡°It wasn¡¯t until someone from the tax bureau came forward that the people inside the building knew that there was a crocodile hidden in this humble room. The company pays the most taxes and fees in this area, and the red envelopes are real. With both political achievements and benefits, those who should be in charge will naturally make every effort to help.
Later, when the company saw that its tactics were not working, it shamelessly came back to raise the acquisition price. What Li Zhuang disliked most was people who were too shameless in business, so the acquisition was left unfinished.
Since the relationship was not good, the underworld gangs did not dare to touch the key tax units. This company had no choice but to play with the technology that they were not good at and hired experts to help. Crazy cyberattacks are heading towards the company's servers. Li Zhuang had already planned their next possible move. A more expensive and faster server had already been prepared along with the other two servers, and the strong counterattack made the attack over there irreversible.
Anyone who has run a company knows that there are many troubles. Li Zhuang often listened to Xia Yuande talk about business troubles, so he pushed Yongzi out. Yongzi is good at sociability, and it is easy to open up a circle of contacts when he has money, and Li Zhuang is also happy and relaxed.
There were a lot of things that happened later, but what Yongzi could handle didn¡¯t let Li Zhuang know. He knew that Li Zhuang was very busy. Li Zhuang is indeed very busy. Research on the system architecture and software design of artificial neural networks is not progressing quickly. This field is more complex than ordinary people imagine, and those who don't understand have to recharge frequently.
The software has a certain sales volume, so naturally there are many people analyzing this software. Sooner or later, the relevant departments will come to visit, and Li Zhuang is waiting for this moment quietly. This is actually the case domestically as well as abroad. The difference is that some people may pay, while some people's first thought is to find some inexplicable reason to rob.
A certain person found Yongzi and hoped that the company would provide the original code. Yongzi suggested that it was foreign software, and they only acted as agents, so they had no R&D department and support was provided by foreign countries. Visitors have learned that this software sells better abroad and has more complete functions than in China, but it is rarely updated in China.
Yongzi¡¯s relationship circle is all within the sight of relevant departments, and Li Zhuang is no exception, but he was quickly excluded. The first is academic qualifications. Li Zhuang did not go to university, nor did he publish any achievements in computer science. As for the fact that he asked for advice from everywhere, it was only circulated in a small circle. Some big shots who were questioned did not dare to tell the investigators. It's very incomplete and impossible to get. The second is Li Zhuang's experience. Li Zhuang's inner circle is very small, he doesn't socialize much, and he is very low-key. The investigation was carried out along Yongzi's circle, and not much energy was spent on Li Zhuang.
In addition, Lizhuang¡¯s security software is very good. All its architecture and arrangements are based on personal computers. Even though the core seems very smart, it is not very powerful and cannot be scaled up to large devices. Anyone who has done software knows that the operation of a mainframe and the operation of a personal computer are completely different things.
As for cracking, Li Zhuang is not worried. With his level of encryption algorithm, it is basically impossible for China to crack his core encryption. It is impossible to work hard on a small personal computer software for a giant computer that can be unlocked.
There are many smart people in relevant departments, and many people with super high IQs, but they often have to succumb to the leadership and arrangements of laymen. Even if they make valuable discoveries, they are often held back due to lack of funds and other trivial matters.
"The butt determines the head" This saying soon came true. The harassment of the company by the relevant departments did not last long. This is a software with little influence.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Although there is no annual fee, it is just a one-time payment, the company's user base is gradually expanding, and its income is also increasing day by day. Yongzi smiled from ear to ear, while Li Zhuang was busy with his own affairs.
"Compared with the calm at home, it is much more lively abroad. After all, the company's sales abroad are much larger. Li Zhuang's English name is Daniel. This character with only a first name and no surname has attracted the attention of many people in a small circle. Many people admire him, but they just don't know where this person is and what country he is from.
"Domien is his ardent admirer, and of course for his own benefit, he is very tight-lipped.
One day in October, when the weather in Hangzhou was getting a little cold, Li Zhuang received a call from Dominion, inviting him to visit Australia. He said that he had already completed the relevant procedures for him, and Li Zhuang only needed to go to the visa section of the Australian Consulate General in Shanghai to get a visa.
Li Zhuang has been very tired during this period, and his technology has not made much progress. He wants to go out for a walk. It's rare for someone to be so considerate and help him get the most difficult visa, so he naturally obeyed happily. Ever since we said goodbye to Dominion three years ago in Hangzhou, we have often contacted each other on the phone, but we have never seen him in person. I miss this cheerful man a little bit, and he also has a beautiful little girl to accompany him when traveling.
