The next morning, in a simple company on the third floor of the Cyber Park in Huaqiang South, Shenzhen, it was too early and the employees hadn’t arrived yet, but two men were already sitting in front of their computer workstations.

"Lao Ma, I found something interesting on Tianya last night."

A slightly fat, delicate-looking young man in his twenties with dark circles under his eyes stared at the screen with excitement on his face.

He seemed to have discovered something new.

The Lao Ma he was talking about was the young man sitting next to him, wearing a plaid shirt and glasses, full of the aura of a science and engineering man.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything interesting?"Ma Teng leaned over, pushed his glasses, and looked at his screen.

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

"What is the name of 361 Computer Security Manager? This is such a good name!"

"I downloaded the program when I was at home. Do you know what technology this thing uses?"Zhang Zhibei kept it a secret.

"What other technology could it be? Aren’t all antivirus software broad-spectrum signature technology?"Ma Teng shook his head and smiled.

All current antivirus software uses signature technology, which can identify and kill viruses based on their mechanism characteristics.

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

He is a technical person and the CTO of this company. He has dabbled in various Internet technologies and is very sensitive.

When he sees the application of new technologies, he is only eager and excited about new technologies.

"Um? What new technology?"Ma Teng was stunned.

"Heuristic scanning technology!" Zhang Zhibei said solemnly, word by word.

"What? Isn't this a technology still under research? How could someone use it commercially?"Ma Teng was shocked. He stood up from his seat, squeezed into Zhang Zhibei's position, and looked carefully.

Sure enough, the 361 Computer Security Manager software was running on his computer, and this software was starting to sweep the grave. Programs have found multiple groups of abnormal programs and are suspected to be virus programs, so they are marked red.

Zhang Zhibei's eyes flashed and he said excitedly:"Hey, did you see that the above programs were all simulated by me? It is new and does not have any execution characteristics, but it is still recognized by this anti-virus software."

"That's why I am sure that this is a heuristic scanning technology, which requires a very strong underlying inspection mechanism to be implemented!"

"This is a groundbreaking innovation in antivirus software!"

"I bet this software will be a big hit!"

Ma Teng took a deep breath and exclaimed:"There are so many talented people in China. They have even applied heuristic scanning technology!"

"Who produced and released this software?

Zhang Zhibei smiled and said,"You will know later.""

After the scan was completed, a pop-up window popped up.

"To unlock more features, please use the activation code."

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

Then another web page pops up, which is the portal website of Xifeng Electronics. There is According to the introduction, the prices of computer accessories are sold, and the main business is repair business.

Ma Teng’s eyes lit up as he looked at this series of operations,"This business model is okay!"

"What kind of company is Xifeng Electronics? I don't think anyone in the Internet industry has heard of it."

"Zhibei, have you heard of it?

Zhang Zhibei shook his head,"I haven't heard of this company either. Maybe... it was created by some genius in China?""

"I also developed heuristic scanning technology, which is pretty awesome. I thought I couldn’t do it myself.

Ma Teng pondered for a moment and said:"If you find time, you must get in touch with Xifeng Electronics. I also have a hunch that this anti-virus software will definitely become popular!""

"Even...it may even reach more users than our Penguin company!"

"The future may be a dark horse! Zhang

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

Ma Teng smiled bitterly,"Acquisition?" How much should I pay for it?"

"We are running out of money to buy servers now. We only have 100,000 left in the account. If we don’t expand the server, we won’t be able to support OICQ in two months!"

OICQ is QQ. Because the number of registered users is increasing every month and the number of online users is reaching new highs every day, Penguin’s servers are almost unable to support it.

If they can’t raise funds and expand the server, collapse is only a matter of time.

When this issue was brought up, both of them fell silent.

This instant messaging project was too expensive in the early stages, and there would be no returns in the short term. They didn’t even understand the profit model.

Moreover, it was the height of the Internet bubble, and it was too difficult for Internet companies to raise funds, and they were all afraid of bankruptcy.

Moreover, Penguin had no clear profit model so far, and was rejected by many investors.

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

Ma Teng's face showed a look of pain, and then he sighed heavily.

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

"This company... can be sold for at least 600,000 or 700,000, right?"

Zhang Zhibei also smiled bitterly and said,"If it really comes to that, I will really not be reconciled!"

QQ was written by him and other technical personnel, line by line of code. It is all his hard work over the years.

This project is like his own child. He watches it grow day by day, and sees its number of online users exceed one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand...

He stays up all night to update the software, fix bugs, and make the software better and better. Whenever someone exclaims in admiration for this software, he can proudly tell them that this software was developed by him and his colleagues.

The goal of the entire 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 giants, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

As the number of users increases, they feel less and less happy, and more anxious.

Because the company has no money to add more servers.

There are only two ways at present. First, either to successfully raise funds, continue to expand the server, and continue to operate. Second, either to package the company and sell it to a company with more financial strength, and they... will be 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 absolutely necessary. If it really comes to that step, there is really no other way.

Ma Teng sat back in his seat, looking at the gray sky that was not yet fully bright, his expression was firm.

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

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