The next morning, in a simple company on the 3rd floor of Saipeng Technology Park in Huaqiangnan, Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

It was too early and before the employees arrived, the two men were already sitting in front of their computer workstations.

"Lao Ma, I found something fun in Tianya last night."

A young man with a slightly fat figure and a delicate appearance, with a pair of thick dark circles, staring at the screen with his eyes tightly on his face, full of excitement.

He seemed to have discovered something new.

The old man in his mouth was a young man sitting beside him, wearing a plaid shirt and glasses, full of a masculine sensation in science and engineering.

"What's wrong? I found something fun?" Ma Teng leaned over, pushed his glasses, and looked at his screen.

"Last night, a post in Tianya suddenly became popular. A netizen shared a free physical examination for computers, which introduced a powerful antivirus software."

"What's the name of 361 Computer Security Manager? This name is so good!"

"I had already 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 can it be? Aren't antivirus software all broad-spectrum feature code technology?" Ma Teng shook his head and smiled.

All current antivirus software are feature code technologies, which can identify and detect virus mechanism characteristics.

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

He is a technical background and also the company's CTO. He is involved in various Internet technologies and is very sensitive.

When he saw that new technology was applied, he only had the desire and excitement for new technology.

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

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

"What? Isn't this a technology still under research? How could someone have used it for commercial use?" Ma Teng was shocked, stood up from his position, squeezed to Zhang Zhibei's position, and checked carefully.

Sure enough, he was running this 361 computer security manager software on his computer, and the software was starting the grave-sweeping program. He had found multiple sets of abnormal programs, and was suspected to be a virus program, so he marked it red.

Zhang Zhibei's eyes flashed and he said excitedly: "Hehe, have you seen it? The programs above are made by me simulating virus programs. They are new and do not have any execution characteristics, but they are still recognized by this antivirus software.

Come out."

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

"This is an epoch-making innovation of antivirus software!"

"I bet this software will be very popular!"

Ma Teng took a deep breath and exclaimed: "The domestic talents are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and heuristic scanning technology has been applied!"

“Who made and released this software?”

Zhang Zhibei smiled, "You will know later."

After the scan, a pop-up window pops up.

"Unlock more functions, please use the activation code."

The following is the method to obtain the activation code, which is to consume at Xifeng Electronics. If you consume a certain amount of money, you can obtain a set of activation codes.

Then another web page popped up, which was Xifeng Electronics' portal website, which introduced the prices of computer accessories sold, and its main business is repair business.

Ma Teng looked at this series of operations and his eyes lit up, "This business model is OK!"

"What kind of company is Xifeng Electronics? I don't seem to have heard of it in the Internet industry."

"Zhibei, have you heard of it?"

Zhang Zhibei shook his head, "I have never heard of this company. Maybe... it was created by a genius in China?"

"It's also very awesome to have developed heuristic scanning technology. I don't think I can do it."

Ma Teng pondered for a moment and said, "I must contact Xifeng Electronics after taking the time. I also have a premonition that this antivirus software will be popular!"

"Even...there may be more users than our Penguin Company!"

"The future may be a dark horse!"

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

Ma Teng smiled bitterly, "Acquisition? What money should I use to acquire?"

"We are almost gone from the money to buy servers, with only 100,000 yuan left in the account. If we don't expand the server, we will not be able to support OICQ in two months!"

oicq is QQ. Because the number of registered users is increasing every month, the number of online users is rising every day, and Penguin’s servers are almost unable to withstand it.

If financing cannot be solved and server expansion can be expanded, it will only be a matter of time before the crash is completed.

When asked this question, both of them couldn't help but remain silent.

This instant messaging project was too expensive in the early stage, and there was no return in a short period of time, and neither of them even understood the profit model.

Moreover, the Internet bubble is now in a state of integrity, and Internet companies are too tired to raise funds, and they are afraid of thunder.

Moreover, Penguin has no clear profit model so far, and many investors have rejected it.

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

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

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

"This company... can sell 600,000 or 700,000?"

Zhang Zhibei also smiled bitterly and said, "If I really get to that point, I will be really unwilling to give up!"

QQ was written by him and other technicians, one line of code, one line of code, and it was all his efforts over the years.

This project is like its own child. Watching it grow up day by day, watching it grow up more than 100, 10,000 online users...

He stayed up all night long, updated the software, fixed bugs, and made the software better and better. Whenever someone praised the software, he would proudly tell them that this software was with his colleagues.

Developed.

The goal of the entire Penguin Company is to make the first and largest instant messaging software in China, and everyone is working hard for this goal.

Everyone wants to become the next Internet giant, but ideals are full and reality is skinny.

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

Because the company has no money, it will add new servers.

There are only two paths at present. First, either successfully raise funds, continue to expand servers, and continue to operate. Second, either package the company for sale and sell it to companies with more financial strength, and they... are eliminated.

Ma Teng and Zhang Zhibei are undoubtedly more inclined toward the first financing plan. They will not sell the company unless they have to. If they really reach that point, there is really nothing they can do.

Ma Teng sat back to his position and looked firm in his expression as he looked at the gray sky that was not yet dawn.

"Yes, I'm not willing to give up."
Chapter completed!
