Chapter 22: Brother and Sister
Chapter 22 Brother and sister
Fan Wubing slept very sweetly this time. When he woke up in the morning, he pushed open the door and suddenly found that many employees were coming and going, and his eyes looked strange when he looked at him.
Just as Fan Ting came out, she saw Fan Wubing coming out of his room at a glance. She was stunned for a moment, "Wubing, why did you live here?" Then she felt something was wrong, "You live here, what about He Juan?"
"Living here too-" Fan Wubing yawned, stretched, and pointed inside, "A very dedicated girl, busy until about two o'clock in the morning, and even made me a midnight snack. Sister, you have to calculate her double overtime pay."
"You sleep with her?" Fan Ting asked suspiciously.
"Why are your thoughts so impure?" Fan Wubing said with some dissatisfaction, "There are several rooms, is it necessary to live together?"
Fan Ting rubbed her forehead, waved her hand and said, "Who knows, you have always been weird in your work."
"By the way, I have some serious things to tell you." Fan Wubing remembered the idea of setting up a special antivirus software technology department, so he grabbed Fan Ting and pulled her into the office.
"What's so mysterious?" Fan Ting was very curious. Generally, Fan Wubing acts very safely, so how can he be so cautious?
"I have a new idea-" Fan Wubing said to Fan Ting.
In fact, in 1993, there were not many individual users in China who owned computers, and high-end office computers were mainly 486. As for antivirus software, everyone borrowed them randomly. At this time, the issues about copyright and other issues were not very clear, and everyone had no authenticity.
Under such conditions, the commercial value of developing antivirus software is obviously unclear. If the PCfans club does not have a large number of computer users, it would have no influence on doing this kind of thing. Even now PCfans is basically just to attract these old customers. After all, good after-sales service and emergency services are projects that big companies should have.
Nowadays, people who can afford to use computers will definitely not be poor, and upgrades will be indispensable in the future.
The PCfans Club is currently in a diversified business model. Not only are personal computers here, but printing equipment is also made, and consumables are also indispensable. Network equipment is a new profit point and is developing very rapidly, basically accounting for more than 90% of the domestic network equipment market, which can be said to be the only one.
Under such circumstances, Fan Ting is naturally not interested in projects that are obviously going to lose money when developing antivirus software. If it weren't for Fan Wubing's proposal, she wouldn't have considered this issue at all.
"Do you think it's necessary?" Fan Ting's way of dealing with it is that as long as it is something that Fan Wubing insists on, she will support it, and as long as it is something that Fan Wubing firmly opposes, she will oppose it.
"It's very necessary. I didn't remember this earlier." Fan Wubing replied affirmatively.
"Then do it as you said. The company will set up an anti-virus business unit to concentrate people who understand this, and then recruit some from this year's new graduates to form a new unit to do this." Fan Ting expressed her opinion, and then asked, "You are here this time, not just for such a small matter, right?"
"This is not a trivial matter, you will feel its importance in the future." Fan Wubing first emphasized the importance and necessity of establishing an anti-virus business unit, and then replied, "This time I met with several senior leaders and talked about some things. I will do a big fight this year."
Fan Wubing talked about the treatment of the old man, and then talked about the LCD display technology he was working on and the possibility of building a strategic reserve of the largest rare earth resources in the future. Fan Ting was a little dumbfounded.
"You're playing a bit too much. I can't even think about such a thing." Fan Ting said to her brother Fan Wubing.
It’s not that Fan Ting is timid. After Fan Wubing left, she has been in Beijing for so many years. She has rich experience and is more aware of the depth of the water on this land. When she heard her younger brother Fan Wubing actually had a discussion with the four politicians, she felt very shocked. When she heard Fan Wubing was talking directly to Boss Zhu, she was even more surprised and couldn’t speak.
"Actually, there is nothing. They are just ordinary people. By chance, they sat in that position." Fan Wubing said lightly, "If you change your position, you will find that they are not much different from ordinary old men and old ladies. They are nothing more than seeing more worlds."
"You should say this from the old man and the old lady's mouth." Fan Ting said.
Fan Wubing curled his lips and thought to himself that I am old enough to be mentally old?
"But brother, I think the stall you are opening now is a bit too big." Fan Ting frowned and said to Fan Wubing. "Only one project at Panshi Airport will occupy about 10 billion yuan of funds. If you want to hoard rare earth resources, it will require at least a few billion yuan of investment. In addition to establishing an LCD screen production line and equipment investment, technical reserves are also very important. Do you think you are ready for these things? There are also those companies in other places, such as Panshi Heavy Industry, Glass Factory, Film and Television City, Entertainment Company, Beverage Factory and Low-voltage Electrical Company, with a total of at least more than 50,000 employees, and there are countless residents affected by the radiation. Can you take such a large stall over such a big one? This is different from playing stocks and futures in the United States!"
Fan Wubing nodded and agreed with Fan Ting's words, but he also replied, "So I am preparing for Fan's Investment Group. In the future, I will only be responsible for grasping the general direction and leaving all the specific matters to my subordinates. But now, the two matters of rare earths and LCD are imminent, so I can't wait until everything is ready before starting."
"But you can get through so many things? Even if you have subordinates to use them, it is a major test for your decision-making ability. If you are not careful, you will lose everything! Many business tycoons are weak after their blind expansion, and eventually they hate the market." Fan Ting was still a little dissatisfied with Fan Wubing's decision.
"What I rely on is 100% accuracy of decision-making." Fan Wubing replied without hesitation.
100% accuracy in decision-making? Fan Ting couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, thinking that her younger brother was really too confident.
"And what I rely on is more than 200 billion US dollars in cash flow-" This sentence is Fan Wubing's biggest reliance. With so much funds to support it, as long as you want to do something, it is difficult to fail, unless you are burning money.
As for burning money, this possibility is very, very small. Unless Fan Wubing himself is willing, no one can let him do this in more than ten years.
Fan Wubing's current goal is to seize the market, seize the opportunity, and seize resources with world electronic giants like Samsung. For this goal, he has to use all his energy. Even so, he is not sure now that he can really defeat Samsung in LCD technology.
After all, I was a pioneer, and Samsung's technical reserves lasted for decades, which is the gap between the two.
When she thought of Zhang Ruixi's chips and the spy work she was engaged in for Samsung, Fan Wubing suddenly felt that big companies like Samsung had to rely on such shameful means to seek the stability of overseas strategies. So what would be the only way to do it yourself?
Zhang Ruixi is going to strive for it. Through her, she can understand Samsung's dynamics and know the bottom line of Samsung's development. In addition, she should also develop her own commercial spies, but this is quite difficult.
Therefore, Fan Wubing thought of another way, looking for the king of hackers, and looking for the genius boy who could invade North American air defense systems through computer networks when he was fifteen years old.
Kevin Mitnik, who broke into the computer system host of the North American Air Defense Command with just one computer and a modem, was listed as the number one wanted criminal by the FBI.
In 1988, Dec accused him of stealing $1 million worth of software from the company's network and causing $4 million in losses, and he was not even allowed to bail. Police authorities, who were lingering in fear, believed that as long as he had a keyboard, he would pose a threat to the community.
Mitnik was sentenced to one year in prison. After being released from prison, he tried to find a stable job. However, the federal government believed that he was a threat to society and he was under close surveillance. Every employer interested in his computer skills finally refused his application due to the warning of his guardian. This may be a very regrettable thing, and it even deprived Mitnik of the possibility of abandoning evil and doing good in a certain sense.
This year, the FBI, who was extremely uneasy, even bribed a hacker accomplice and lured Mitnik to retry his old tricks in order to get him to prison again. But Mitnik was extraordinary after all, and he broke into the FBI's internal network, found the trap they set, and ran away before the arrest warrant was issued.
The FBI immediately wanted Mitnik nationwide, but unfortunately his whereabouts could not be found.
The FBI did not know where Mitnik was, but Fan Wubing knew that the experience of the Hacker King was later brought to the screen, so Fan Wubing knew very well how he was hiding.
