Chapter 398 Strategic Counterattack
Upon hearing Xing Baohua's order, Zhao Shanhai nodded to the young man. Then, the young man stood up, bowed to Xing Baohua, and turned to leave.
Xing Baohua looked at Zhao Shanhai with curiosity and gave him a thumbs up: "How did you manage to control the Lord?"
To talk about family ties is pure nonsense.
This kid isn't stupid. He's already being kind by not killing Zhao Shanhai, let alone talking about family ties.
Even the most bizarre family or the most twisted mentality could not possibly be this abnormal.
Zhao Shanhai smiled but did not answer, guessing there was a lot of story behind it.
Since the other party didn't say anything, Xing Baohua stopped asking.
In short, Xing Baohua only looks at the results and outcomes. The fact that the child was able to find a suitable person in Da Meizi Kingdom in a short time shows that he is indeed a talented person.
Should we obey now, or in the future?
That's a ruthless guy! Should we give Zhao Shanhai a heads-up?
What if Zhao Shanhai misunderstands and thinks he's trying to sow discord? Or that Xing Baohua is abandoning him after using him?
Well, let's just take it one step at a time.
There's nothing going on in Da Meizi Country for now, and nothing unexpected has happened, so Zhao Shanhai still has to go back to Mian Tiao Country to continue selling cars.
After discussing it with Xing Baohua, Zhao Shanhai's brick was put back in its original position within the next two days.
There was no need for formalities with this lucky charm; he simply said that once the showroom in Noodle Country was set up and he returned to Hong Kong, he would transfer some shares of the car factory to him.
These are not shares in a share pool, but actual shares that can be freely bought and sold.
This is a huge fortune.
Zhao Shanhai didn't refuse. He said thank you and went out to find Huang Xingyao, saying he had something to tell him.
Two days later.
Xing Baohua received a call from Microsoft, saying that they needed to fully upgrade the system patches and hoped that Xing Baohua would come to their headquarters to discuss the matter.
Xing Baohua thought about it and felt it was related to the virus.
Xing Baohua flew to Microsoft headquarters with his entourage, but he didn't meet Gates. Instead, he was received by a director from a Microsoft division.
After we met and sat down to chat, it turned out to be related to a computer virus that had recently become popular in America.
Microsoft participated in a cybersecurity alliance formed by tech giants, requiring all computer manufacturers to implement the standards they set. As a major system vendor, Microsoft granted its cybersecurity engineers considerable autonomy, allowing them to find and patch vulnerabilities.
Xing Baohua only needs to pay $1 to the Cybersecurity Alliance for each machine shipped from the factory to receive the patches provided by the alliance.
Xing Baohua refused on the spot, saying that his rice business had already established a secure network management software in the United States.
The patch will be applied automatically.
Selling patches? What were you thinking? This thing has always been free, hasn't it?
Besides, are patches even useful?
Windows systems are riddled with vulnerabilities, like a sieve. You patch one, and another pops up; you can't possibly pay extra for every patch!
Furthermore, patches should be provided free of charge by the system manufacturer; Xing Baohua has no recollection of ever charging for them.
Could it be that Microsoft and other tech giants are trying to make a fortune from this virus?
It's easy to imagine that compared to hardware security, who wouldn't want to spend $1 for insurance?
However, the problem is that viruses don't become immune just because of patches.
Patching vulnerabilities is just one way to prevent hacker intrusion.
Virus removal is one of the fundamental factors.
Of course, system patches can't stop hackers, and viruses can't be completely eradicated.
This is a complex network engineering project.
The meeting ended unhappily because Xing Baohua disagreed.
What Xing Baohua didn't expect was that the next day the media reported that because DaMi Computer refused the patch agreement of the Cyber Security Alliance, DaMi Computer's network security had serious hidden dangers.
That's really mean!
Having just fought a fierce battle with a bunch of wolves from Wall Street, they're about to clash with a pack of tigers.
If you want to charge, at least get the rice (a metaphor for the company's financial backers) to work together on an agreement and make money together. Who cares about $1 per machine then? Everyone knows the principle of "the wool comes from the sheep's back"!
You made the agreement but didn't invite anyone, fine, but you still disgust people when you can't collect the fees. Don't you know the old saying, "Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents"?
We need to think carefully about how to retaliate.
Looks like I'll have to spend some money on advertising.
As for the security risks the alliance mentioned, screw them.
He instructed the company to contact advertisers, demanding that Xing Baohua advertise across the entire United States, whether it be print or print advertising, on television, radio, magazines, or newspapers.
With a budget of $200 million for advertising, you have to spend a lot upfront.
Burning money! Xing Baohua has never been afraid of anyone.
If the internet weren't so bad, Xing Baohua would really like to learn how to be a 360.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's free; they make a fortune through bundled deals.
My hometown also sent seven or eight new machines urgently, along with a lot of security management master CDs.
Xing Baohua found a CD filling plant in the United States and started by producing 100,000 CDs.
The cost is a bit high, but if we want to quickly capture the European and American markets, then a higher price is acceptable.
We'll find an opportunity to mass-produce it domestically.
Xing Baohua gathered the European and American distributors together and held a product exhibition.
Originally, the product sales conference was scheduled for April each year, but now we have to add an extra new product showcase based on market conditions.
Find two TV stations, buy a few time slots, and broadcast the new product showcase as an advertisement.
Huang Xingyao arranged for people to start finding a place to set up the venue.
Since the newly purchased building has not yet been handed over, many companies in the building have not yet had their contracts expired, and they are currently negotiating rent refunds.
This meant they had to rent elsewhere.
