Chapter 138 Appearance
Antivirus software companies, in the Internet and even the technology industry, have never been a key industry that has been concerned by the mainstream of the industry, but they cannot do without it.

On weekdays, anti-virus software companies seem to be of no use. Instead, because of monthly fees or pop-up advertisements, they will be criticized for occupying the latrine, useless for occupying memory, and even spreading those viruses. It is the anti-virus software company. It was done for the purpose of raising the bandits' self-respect and threatening users not to delete their software.

But at critical moments, such as the emergence of large-scale computer viruses, panda burning incense, and ransomware viruses that ravage countless computers, they all began to think of antivirus software companies.

Anti-virus software companies have different functions in different hands. For Song Yang, he doesn't expect the anti-virus software to bring him many users and benefits. What he needs is Feita, which is launched for Song Yang It is enough that the product is "certified" to prove that it is safe to use those software!
"In a few days, I will launch a new product online, and I need Feita to ensure that the computers of users who use this product are safe enough. This requires Feita to use real network security technology!"

"In addition, by the end of this year at the latest, an Internet platform payment software will be launched for Internet users and major companies to pay for products on the Internet platform, and we need the support of Feita!"

Song Yang didn't mind revealing some news to Xie Qing, ICQ will be launched soon.

In addition, PayPal and other payment software, Song Yang will also grasp it in his hands. Payment software seems inconspicuous, but as long as it is really implemented, Internet products, as long as users need to recharge money, are almost out of reach. Don't open it, but this also requires security technology, otherwise, if the user account is stolen every three days, who would want to use this thing.

Song Yang disclosed a lot of information. Hearing this, Xie Qing couldn't help but look at Song Yang in a daze. Silicon Valley has not seen geniuses for so many years. From electronic hardware to Internet software, countless geniuses have been born. .

But even Bill Gates, Jobs, and Mark Anderson, at best, established a company and then slowly developed it on an acre of three-point land. How can there be someone like Song Yang, who is almost as productive as that, How long has Song Yang been in the industry, but how many Internet companies have been launched now? !
Needless to say, the double-click company that carries the banner of global digital advertising, Hotmail has redefined e-mail, and has just sold a sky-high price of [-] million US dollars. Next year, Song Yang is planning to launch at least two Internet products, and they are all different A type of Internet ranks, almost always paving the way for latecomers!
You know, the most difficult thing in an industry is the pathfinder, who is always clamoring for innovation, but just like the age of great navigation, if you want to find a new channel, you are often full of bones and do not know how many ships have sunk. In order to find a route to the New World.

On the other hand, Song Yang is like the expedition fleet that is constantly adventurous, constantly opening up new waterways, never thinking about it, and collecting money by guarding the opened routes. Instead, they keep sailing, as if they are not afraid of sinking ships at all Horsepower is on a rampage!
The emergence of double-click, to a certain extent, has changed the profit model of Silicon Valley. It can make money for free, and it has become the direction that America and even the global Internet industry are trying. It may not be profitable, but it may survive.

Hotmail allows the Internet to work, and it has really become popular, sweeping tens of millions of users around the world, which also shows that it is really needed in this era.

In this era, as long as Internet products and companies become famous, they must have their own unique features. Xie Qing doesn't know if Song Yang's next Internet products will set off stormy waves in the Internet industry again.

"Feita must cooperate well, and will upgrade Feita's anti-virus software as soon as possible, and increase the network security function of Feita!" Xie Qing assured Song Yang.

Song Yang is now the biggest funder of Feita. He has invested so much money in Feita, but basically does not interfere with the operation and management of Feita. Qing naturally couldn't refuse.

After coming out of the office, Song Yang and Xie Qing went to Feita's hardware laboratory together. Compared with the previous grass-roots team laboratory, the current laboratory is a professional-level laboratory.

When Song Yang and Xie Qing went in, Deng Feng, who was in charge of Feita UTM hardware equipment, was leading a group of people busy.

Without disturbing Deng Feng and a group of engineers, Song Yang stood aside, watching with great interest that the group of engineers were busy. The UTM equipment of the Feita is a box that is almost the same as a DVD. At the moment, it is connected to several computers. experiment.

It wasn't until Deng Feng and others finished a round of testing that Song Yang stepped forward, "How's the effect?!"

Seeing that it was Song Yang, Deng Feng who was still busy calculating the data, stood up hurriedly, "Boss Song!"

"Still in testing," Deng Feng saw Song Yang pick up a UTM box of Fortigate, "This is the first generation of UTM equipment developed by the hardware department!"

"It uses a security chip modified by other chip manufacturers. It is currently testing various functions, but the effect is very good. Compared with traditional anti-virus software and firewall hardware products, the performance can be about 17% higher!"

Deng Feng said with excitement, the key point of Feita's UTM equipment is not how much stronger than those anti-virus software or hardware firewalls, but to prove that Xie Qing's UTM network security concept is Doable, that's what matters.

Song Yang nodded, "When the UTM of Feita is officially formed, Double-click the company to buy it first. I believe that the big companies in America will not reject the UTM equipment of Feita!"

As long as the performance of UTM equipment can be proved, those big dogs in America have no reason to refuse at all. For the sake of computer security, big business giants spend tens of millions to buy Fortinet’s services and equipment in exchange for protection from losses caused by hacker attacks. That was simply a bargain.

Of course, according to the urgency of the American company, the first business order must be the wool of the Federation, just like Oracle, the business that just started receiving orders was the order sent by the FBI.

It’s hard to say about other places, but for Fortinet, you can take the Texas line and let the financial department of Texas contribute a few orders to Fortinet. What kind of.

It is ruthless for Microsoft to squeeze the wool of the federal government every year. The system and software orders it receives from the federal government every year are astronomical. The wool of the knife, even the flying tower that will receive the federal order in the future, is almost nothing compared to Microsoft.

Song Yang put down the UTM equipment in his hand and said to Deng Feng, "In the future, Feita will have enough hardware security equipment technology and experience, and can also enter other security equipment industries."

"In the future, Fortinet will also be able to develop and produce monitoring equipment, access control and other IoT security devices, making Fortinet not only a leader in the network software security industry, but also a security hardware product company!"

Listening to Song Yang's words, Deng Feng couldn't help but shine. Software is not his major, but he was born in Intel, he is proficient in hardware, not only in the chip industry, but also in other hardware industries.

Deng Feng is gearing up, "If the UTM equipment of Feita can be affirmed by users, then I will try to develop other hardware security products."

Xie Qing, who was standing by the side, looked at Song Yang and the two who were talking very happily. At this time, he didn't know what expression to make. In just a few minutes, Song Yang dug another hole for the flying tower, but Song Yang didn't know what to do. The road pointed out by the flying tower is indeed very attractive. Once it is completed, the flying tower will almost break free from the shackles of the security network, and can reach heights that colleagues such as McAfee can't even imagine!
Develop PC antivirus software, launch UTM hardware equipment, and now propose to enter the field of surveillance and other security equipment. Fortinet, a small broken company, is doing something that antivirus software giants such as McAfee and Symantec dare not even think about. , Xie Qing couldn't imagine what the Defei Tower would look like in the future.

On the Feita side, if you want to say what satisfies Song Yang the most, it is about food, which completely suits Song Yang’s appetite. Xie Qing and the others can always get it from the fellow countrymen to the American side. All kinds of seasoning and food.

Staying at Feita, after Song Yang ate a meal of bacon and small hot pot, he left the Feita office building and went to ICQ.

ICQ is much busier than the take-off tower. As the chief technology officer of ICQ, Wesley, who is about to represent ICQ, is leading a group of engineers to find bugs day and night. Take a day off.

Of course, the reason why these engineers can forget to sleep and eat is because of the temptation of a good knife. Now ICQ engineers basically get the most lucrative salary in Silicon Valley. The only thing comparable is probably the one who is dying with Netscape Microsoft.

Counting all the companies that issued Christmas bonuses in the entire Silicon Valley this year, Microsoft, Song Yang, and Yahoo gave the highest bonuses. If we talk about it alone, the technicians of Double-Click, ICQ, Hotmail and other companies in the hands of Song Yang, got it. Bonuses are top notch.

In the circle of engineers in Silicon Valley, the attractiveness of Songyang to technicians is quietly increasing. The technicians who want to come to Songyang are no more than those who want to go to Microsoft, Oracle, AOL, and Netscape. Worse.

"In other words, can ICQ be officially launched on New Year's Eve?!" Song Yang raised his head from the computer screen and asked Wesley.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Wesley took a deep breath, and then nodded deeply. He was already ready to hold a press conference for ICQ in front of the entire peer group.
