  Chapter 866 Small goal: annual profit of one billion

   "In this area, TX has been developing for a long time. We can cooperate with them to jointly develop anti-virus software. Although 359 claims to be free forever, its current functions are not comprehensive."

  Regarding this issue, Qin Sui, who had been prepared for a long time, explained the reasons for his own research and development of anti-virus software, and also pointed out the shortcomings of the anti-virus software rookie 359.

  Although 359 Security Guard has put out the slogan of "forever free", the current market is still occupied by most of the original fee-based software, especially the installed market has not yet completed the layout.

  Currently, 1234 browser has more than one million downloaded users, which also gave her the confidence to develop anti-virus software.

  As the new batch of computer users become younger, the future computer market will definitely be diversified, and antivirus software will not be controlled by the installed market.

  When users have the right to choose, the entire antivirus software market will be reshuffled. This is an important node and an opportunity for them.

  Being in charge of a billion-dollar investment company for the first time, she always has to make outstanding achievements in order to secure the position of general manager and add the strongest stroke to her resume.

   "Let President Pan come over."

  After listening to General Manager Qin's words, Zhou Anan pondered for a moment, then pressed the communication button on the landline, and asked the beautiful secretary to notify Pan Shaofu, director of the technical department, to come over.

  Afterwards, Zhou Anan said seriously to the short-haired female subordinate: "It's fine to make antivirus software, but I want a deadline for version 1.0."

  In February of this year, the founder of 359 Security Guard announced that it would be permanently free, and occupied a large market under the siege of several old antivirus software.

  With its cooperation with major computer dealers and the promotion of "permanent free" in the early stage is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the territory occupied by 359 will become larger and larger until it occupies more than half of the entire market.

  I still remember that the desktops he bought in his previous life were all anti-virus installed by dealers, and they were directly changed to 359 Security Guard after returning home.

  It wasn't until the second laptop that was changed many years later that the seller helped to install another security guard software. Zhou Anan thought it was relatively simple and didn't uninstall it, and kept using it.

   That is to say, the research on antivirus software must be fast and burn money in order to seize the market that is about to be reshuffled.

   Otherwise, at best, it is an antivirus software that is compatible with the 1234 browser, and there is no need to invest a lot of money in research and development.

   "I haven't confirmed this question yet."

  Hearing the question asked by the big boss, Qin Sui was a little speechless.

  She hasn't been authorized by the big boss yet, so the contact with TX is just scratching the surface, and she hasn't planned such a long-term plan.

   She thought that after getting the approval of the big boss, she would make another plan, but she didn't expect the big boss' request to be so direct and urgent.

   "When Mr. Pan comes over, I'll ask."

  Seeing that the other party could not answer, Zhou Anan, who heard the door opening, said to the beautiful secretary who led the person in: "Pour a cup of coffee for Mr. Pan."

   "BOSS."

   Pan Shaofu who walked into the office shouted, and nodded to the new general manager Qin.

   "Sit down, Mr. Qin suggested that the new investment company should develop anti-virus software. I just want to ask you, a professional, to confirm how long it will take to complete the development of version 1.0."

  After Pan Shaofu sat down, Zhou Anan briefly said a few words, and then signaled Mr. Qin to explain the specific things to the other party.

   "Mr. Pan, it's like this"

   "If we cooperate with TX, the shortest time should be 3 to 4 months."

  After listening to Qin Sui's narration, Pan Shaofu estimated the technical development capabilities of the cooperation between the two parties, and gave an approximate time.

  Technically, he is professional.

"In this way, Mr. Qin, you should confirm the cooperation with TX as soon as possible. Version 1.0 will be launched before August. It will also promote that it will be permanently free and quickly occupy the market. Also, although the current 359's various software bundled download strategies can make money in the short term and recover costs, But it has a great impact on user reputation. We are not afraid of losing money at the moment, and if we want to be free, we must make it truly free, and don’t use those fake slogans.”

  After thinking for a while, Zhou Anan decided to ask Mr. Qin to give it a try, and also put forward his own request.

  Anyway, they cooperate with TX, who is never short of money, and the loss is not theirs.

  If it succeeds, the peripheral profits derived from this market will definitely not be small.

  A single 1234 browser is still a bit thin, and it is indeed a good development direction with the supporting security guards.

   After all, 359, many years later, claims to make billions of dollars in annual profits. He doesn't have high requirements, and he is satisfied with making a billion dollars a year.

"OK."

   Seeing the big boss make a plan, Qin Sui, who first realized the big boss's straightforward style, got up and nodded.

  When they came to Zhuyuan, Zhou Anan got off the car and checked the time, it was already half past ten.

  He didn't expect a small meeting to last so long, and he didn't know if Miss Wang was to blame.

   After all, tonight's supper is to express his gratitude to the other party for agreeing to accompany him to the charity gala tomorrow night.

  This attitude is a bit insincere.

   "An'an is here, hurry up, today's crayfish are very tender."

  Seeing Zhou Anan coming in, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting there eating spicy crayfish, hurriedly greeted her, her hands were too busy to wave.

   "Oh, did the crayfish taste good today?"

  Looking at the lobster shells in front of the two eldest ladies, Zhou Anan heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down to eat.

   Fortunately, Miss Yu was with me, if Miss Wang was invited alone, I would really be angry.

  Although Miss Wang’s anger is easy to coax, it’s good to have a bag that can cure all diseases or go shopping with you, but you still need to save some money if you can save some money, and shopping is a waste of time.

   "Hmph, don't try to distract from the lateness. And you invited the two of us tonight, the conditions agreed before don't count, you have to invite me alone tomorrow night."

  Watching An Xiaodi sit down and eat crayfish, Wang Xiaoxiao pointedly pointed out what the other party wanted to avoid.

   The treat is insincere, so it doesn't count. There must be an extra meal tomorrow.

"no problem."

  After listening to Miss Wang's words, Zhou An'an responded very simply.

   After eating two crayfish that tasted pretty good, Zhou Anan took the initiative to grill the two ladies with mutton skewers and Miss Wang's favorite enoki mushroom soup (slightly spicy garlic version).

   Sure enough, Miss Wang, who ate the mutton kebabs, smiled happily, and it was not difficult to coax her.

   "Weike project is split up, how much are you going to raise?"

   After eating half full, Yu Xian'er asked about the important agenda of tomorrow's Celebrity Wechat Shareholders' Meeting.

  She and Wang Xiaoxiao are also shareholders of Celebrity Wechat. Although it is good to entrust Xiaodi An with carte blanche, it is always necessary to care about it.

   "Valuation of 2 billion US dollars, financing of 500 million."

  Hearing Miss Yu's question, Zhou An'an answered without hesitation.

  If it weren’t for the impact of the financial crisis and the divestiture of several important assets, it would be no problem to double the amount of financing.

   Even so, compared to the 8.8 billion yuan in the first round of financing last year, it can be regarded as an increase of 60%.

   This is considered to be at the bottom of the Internet industry financing growth ranking in the past two years.

  Of course, those Internet companies whose market valuations have increased several times or even dozens of times a year have capsized and sunk under the financial tsunami.

  Under the severe situation of the financial crisis, Celebrity Wechat is the No.

   "Do you need me to follow up?"

  Knowing that An Xiaodi has always wanted to hold the controlling stake, Yu Xianer asked a very critical question.
