044 Promoting Long Shield

  "Are we going to start charging now? Yeah, that's great! If we charge, won't we be able to promote our Tian Shu Technology brand?" After hearing Wang Zhengyu's words, Huo Guangbo excitedly patted his thigh, but then immediately complained to Wang Zhengyu: "It's all your fault. Why didn't you directly put our company name when uploading the software? Now people don't believe me when I say that Voice Control Smart Home is our company's product! Otherwise, I think we would have been famous a long time ago!"

  "I didn't even think about starting a company back then, let alone know what the company would be called now!" Wang Zhengyu said in a low voice: "Don't talk about that for now, quickly come up with a pricing plan and try to enrich the user's payment channels. Not just Alipay and online banking, it's best to negotiate with telecom operators so our software can support mobile phone bill payments."

  "Alright, I'll take care of these. With the current popularity of our software, these are not a problem!" Ho Guangbo nodded and said: "But what if we can't find suitable talent now?"

  "No problem, first clear out the top positions in each department of the company and let those second-rate talents you mentioned start from deputy positions to take charge of the normal operation of each department. If they are as experienced as you said, it won't be a big problem for the company to maintain its current state. After I go to Beijing this time, I will definitely make our brand famous!" Wang Zhengyu said confidently.

  ……

  All the way to Beijing, it was already the time when the lights were first lit. Fortunately, Wang Zhengyu informed Xu Yanhong before coming to Beijing, and this thousand-degree big boss happened to be in Beijing. Not only did he arrange for someone to pick up at the airport, but he also took out his schedule to meet with Wang Zhengyu.

  Although Wang Zhengyu wanted to get straight to the point, he still had lunch with Xu Yihong at his insistence before sitting in Xu's office.

  "I heard that Wang's company has started operations?"

  As soon as the two of them sat down, Xu Yihong spoke up.

  Wang Zhengyu was taken aback. How did this Qidian CEO know everything just like his website? He hadn't even mentioned starting a company to him, yet he already knew.

  "Director Xu is indeed the old boss of Qidu, nothing can escape your notice!" Wang Zhengyu responded.

  "I actually knew it was a coincidence, a friend from a headhunting company said that a newly established tech company in Jiangcheng has been poaching people with money, and when I heard that the boss's surname is Huo and he's also from Jiangcheng, I thought of you guys! As expected, it didn't disappoint me!" Xu Yanzhong explained, then asked: "I wonder if this time President Wang came to us is because there's a good business opportunity that can benefit Qihoo?"

  Yu Yanhong's words made Wang Zhengyu feel a bit dizzy. Obviously, Huo Guangbo was too high-profile, and if he didn't get it right, people would think he was stupid and had too much money. However, Wang Zhengyu also understood Huo Guangbo's helplessness. As a newly established company, wanting to take the fast track of development immediately, talent reserve plans could only be put on hold for now, and using money to attract talent was the best way.

  "Director Xu laughed and said, we have no choice. If we don't offer high salaries to attract talent, who would choose our small company? As for business, does Director Xu still remember what we discussed that day?" Wang Zhengyu didn't want to delve deeper into the topic and directly got to the point. This time he came to Beijing, planning to borrow Qidian's reputation in the industry to make Tian Shu Technology's brand known overnight.

  "Are you talking about an operating system with independent property rights?" asked Robin Li, his eyes lighting up.

  "Ah! That's right, our Tiangong Technology has developed a Long Shield operating system specifically designed to prevent the recurrence of the Prism Gate incident! The security coefficient of this operating system can completely eliminate the possibility of network leaks from a technical perspective! And it is absolutely an entirely independent intellectual property!" Wang Zhengyu introduced with full confidence.

  "What?" Xu Yihong's eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets: "Are you saying that you have already developed a proprietary operating system?"

  "What's up?" Wang Zhengyu looked at Xu Yanhong with a puzzled expression. Didn't he want to talk about operating systems with him?

  Xu Yihong sat in his seat for a long time without speaking.

  Or maybe others don't know the difficulty of developing an operating system, but as a technical expert in the industry, how can they not be clear? Let's not mention Microsoft, the leader in operating systems, how many R&D personnel are needed to develop a new version of Windows, how much investment is required, and how long it takes.

  Let's talk about Huaxia's self-developed operating system, the country invested billions of dollars and even gathered a group of top domestic programmers together for as long as a year, but still no constructive results!

  And this young man in front of him, just a few days ago, said that his newly established company has already produced an operating system, how can it not shock Xu Yihong?

  To know that Xu Yihong wanted to cooperate with Wang Zhengyu was to borrow the technology behind Wang Zhengyu, and he came to invest. Both parties cooperated in the research and development of the operating system. But now, this thing hasn't been discussed yet, and others have already made an operating system. How can this not make Xu Yihong's eyes drop?

  If it weren't for Wang Zhengyu's app still being on Qihoo 360's Android market, Xu Yinan would definitely think this guy is just bragging without doing any actual work.

  "What's going on! How did you develop this?" Perplexed, Xu Yihong blurted out a very silly question, probably not even knowing what he was saying himself.

  "After some thought, Wang Zhengyu replied seriously: 'Having a goal and working towards it will lead to the desired outcome.'"

  The question is stupid, and the answer is even more stupid.

  Fortunately, Xu Yihong has come back to his senses, otherwise this conversation would have gone in an even more stupid direction.

  "May I have a look at your company's brand new operating system?" asked Xu Yihong.

  Wang Zhengyu nodded and took out the notebook from his backpack, turned it on and handed it over: "This is a computer with Longdun operating system installed. You can try it!"

  Then, Wang Zhengyu stood up and walked to Xu Yihong's side to introduce the design concept, usage methods, and functional principles of this operating system in detail. They were all very simple things, and they were all introduced within a short ten minutes.

  "It doesn't support any applications, only the operating system. This Longhorn operating system of yours is really a unique approach!" Xú Yàn Hóng put down his laptop and sighed, "But why not just make a firewall directly?"

  "No way! Firewalls are always embedded in the operating system, so if the operating system itself has a backdoor, it can't be prevented at all. But Longtu is different, it's like putting other operating systems in a safe and locking them up, even if there are backdoors, they can't be controlled. Don't mention anything else, just from a security perspective, I dare to guarantee that this operating system dares to say it's the world's first!" Wang Zhengyu emphasized.

  "Alright, let's not talk about the operating system for now. I'd like to ask, what does it mean that you brought this operating system to see me?" Xu Yihong asked straightforwardly.

  Obviously, the foundation for cooperation has been lost now, and Xu Yihong naturally wants to know what Wang Zhengyu's goal is.

  "It's very simple, I want to cooperate with Qihoo and promote this operating system! Of course, how the profits are distributed, we can discuss later." Wang Zhengyu directly stated his purpose.

  Wang Zhengyu is certainly no fool, although Xu Yihong gave him a good impression, but this was not the reason he sent money to Qidian. In fact, it was his deliberate plan after careful consideration.

  The reason is simple, this Longhorn operating system has a high technical content, but from the functional point of view it is useless. Because it cannot support any applications.

  So wanting to promote this operating system among the people first can be said to be extremely difficult. Especially since Tian Shu Technology doesn't have much reputation now, why should consumers spend twice the money on an operating system?

  But the country is different.

  Now that the country has been alerted to the Prism Gate incident and has made great efforts to develop its own operating system in order not to leak secrets, this operating system must have a huge market space. It is worth noting that government departments across China have already started e-government affairs, and the number of computer terminals in various departments across the country is not small.

  Moreover, when a country starts using his system, it will naturally bring along some state-owned enterprises and large companies to use it. It's worth noting that these companies are extremely cautious about information security.

  And when your operating system has penetrated these fields and gained a super reputation, this is all living advertising. How can ordinary consumers not be moved? You know the current internet security situation is worrying, who doesn't worry about their personal privacy being leaked out?

  So, Wang Zhengyu had already made up his mind that the Longzhong operating system must take a top-down marketing approach. This is the most time-saving and efficient way.

  But to take this path, Wang Zhengyu must have a channel that can communicate with the top. Otherwise, Wang Zhengyu couldn't just hold his computer and run to government departments to promote it, right? So Wang Zhengyu thought of Xu Yanhong at the first time.

  First, the person who inspired him to develop this operating system is indeed Robin Li (Xu Yanhong), which shows that he has a way of reaching out to the top; secondly, he thinks Robin Li is not bad, quite righteous, and more importantly, in this aspect, he doesn't know anyone else now, so it's up to Robin Li whether he accepts or not.

  Xu Yanzhong thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Alright, but can I keep Wang's laptop here for now? I need to find someone to do a comprehensive test on this system. Once the results are out, we'll talk about it again."

  "No problem, this U disk has the installation package and manual of Longteng operating system, I'll give it to you together. In addition, my laptop only has WIN7 installed, you can let the testers operate on my laptop at will, or add other operating systems for testing, this Longteng supports multiple systems running simultaneously!" Wang Zhengyu nodded and added.
