Yi Feng returned home at 11 p.m., washed up, turned on the computer, and prepared to work on the server backend.
The daily download count of 361 Computer Security Manager was increasing, and although the program ran locally and did not consume much server resources, the increase in user numbers still put pressure on the server resources, necessitating regular optimization to ensure the program's usability.
Yi Feng habitually logged onto QQ and discovered that Gu Muxi's avatar was lit up, and she had sent him a message.
Tsinghua Nianhua: "Hello, little Feng, are you there? Why haven't you come online yet?"
"Did you go out to have fun somewhere? (smiley face)"
Yi Feng was somewhat surprised. Why hadn't this girl gone to sleep yet?
Feng: "I'm back, why haven't you slept?"
After a while, Tsinghua Nianhua sent a message.
Tsinghua Nianhua: "I can't sleep tonight, I'm looking up schools!"
Tsinghua Nianhua: "Not yet, still struggling."
Feng: "Do you have difficulty choosing?"
Tsinghua Nianhua: "Pfft, you're the one who's sick. I'm just being careful, okay?"
Feng: "Alright, let me know when you've decided."
Tsinghua Nianhua: "Why should I tell you? Humph~ I won't tell you!"
"Do you want to meet offline?"
"But if you see me, you'll definitely be surprised!"
Gu Muxi's eyes turned into crescents, full of slyness.
Ah, Yi Feng, this time I'm in the dark, and you're in the light. Let's see how I tease you!
Gaga Gaga——!
Feng: "Indeed, from our chat, I can guess… you must be a robust girl."
"If I saw you, I might indeed get a shock."
Seeing this, Gu Muxi's eyes widened, and she almost spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.
Damn it!!
Stinky Feng! You dare to say I'm robust?!
Where am I robust?
You're the robust one!
Tsinghua Nianhua: "I'm not robust!"
"I'm as beautiful as a fairy, okay!"
Gu Muxi snorted proudly.
Although she wasn't vain, she was somewhat confident in her appearance.
Feng: "I don't believe it unless you send a photo to prove it."
Yi Feng chuckled, thinking he could outsmart her.
Tsinghua Nianhua: "I don't have a photo, and even if I did, I wouldn't show you, humph~ Bye!!"
Gu Muxi then closed QQ and sat in her chair, sulking alone.
How could that stinky guy be so annoying?
Really!
But… stinky Feng probably doesn't know he's chatting with me on QQ, right?
He probably doesn't know, right?
…
Yi Feng saw her avatar turn grey and chuckled to himself.
Ah, Gu Muxi, always trying to prank me. If you managed to, I'd write my name, Yi Feng, backwards.
"Ding Ding Ding——"
Suddenly, QQ notified him of a new message.
Yilu Xiangbei: "Good evening, God Feng. When will 361 update its version?"
"I have a new idea. How about we implement a virus library plan in the new version?"
"That is, by collecting data on viruses that attack users, gathering the characteristics of these virus programs, and then updating other devices through the server, we can prevent the risk of virus spread. What do you think?"
Yi Feng was startled by the message, as this person had guessed his next update plan!
Yilu Xiangbei was a netizen he had recently met online, with strong programming skills, a development expert. The two occasionally discussed network security and internet development, having good conversations.
Yi Feng was impressed by his outstanding technical skills and vision for the future of the internet, usually addressed as God Feng by him.
Feng: "You guessed right, that's the next update content, but it will take some time."
Yilu Xiangbei: "God Feng could collaborate with a tech company to develop 361. I feel this application could become a phenomenon-level application!"
"It has the potential to become the domestic version of Okta!"
Yi Feng smiled and typed: "Which tech company do you think could handle it?"
Without his own vision, no company could run this security software well.
Yilu Xiangbei: "Yes, Tencent. I'll be honest, I'm from Tencent. If we develop 361 together, we can quickly popularize the program across the net!"
Yi Feng's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting this net friend to be from Tencent!
At this time, Tencent was still a small company, although it was growing rapidly, its profitability was very weak, with high daily operational costs. Its founder, Ma Teng, even considered selling the company at one point.
Wasn't this the perfect time to make contact with Tencent?
Ah, Tencent! The future giant of the Chinese internet, one of the world's highest-valued internet companies, ranking first in scale and profitability among the BAT!
If he could take down Tencent…
Excitement flashed in Yi Feng's eyes!
The future giant enterprise!
Just thinking about acquiring Penguin was incredibly exciting, exhilarating!
Holy shit! It would be awesome to take it down!
Yi Feng took several deep breaths to calm his excitement and composed himself.
He carefully considered that, given Yilu Xiangbei's abilities, his position at Tencent must be more than just a technical supervisor.
He was interested in collaborating on the 361 project because he saw the market potential in the computer security field.
However, Yi Feng didn't plan to hand over the project to another company for development but intended to assemble his own technical team for the mission.
Computer security is a necessity for both enterprises and personal PCs, a market without security software is like a computer without an antivirus, vulnerable to virus attacks!
Computer security is as important to a computer as air is to humans.
Yi Feng didn't want to co-develop the project with Tencent, but he was very interested in investing in Tencent, to fully control it!
He couldn't miss such an opportunity!
If he waited until Tencent overcame its difficulties, investing in it later would be much more challenging!
Yi Feng's eyes shifted, and he typed: "Co-development, huh? Your proposal is interesting, worth considering."
Yilu Xiangbei immediately replied: "Really?! Are you really considering it?"
"If possible, I'd like to meet God Feng in person to talk, not for anything else, just to have a meal."
"It's an honor to meet God Feng!"
Yi Feng's lips curved into a smile, saying: "Sure, you guys are in Shenzhen, right? I'm in Guangdong, should be close."
Yilu Xiangbei: "Great, when is God Feng free? I'll come to you!"
Feng: "I'm free next weekend, both days. Just call me when you arrive in Shenzhen,
here's my number."
Yi Feng sent his phone number, and they exchanged contact information.
Yilu Xiangbei promised to come over the weekend, looking forward to the meeting.
After chatting about some technical topics, Yi Feng logged off QQ.
At this time, late at night, in SEG Technology Park in Shenzhen, inside Tencent.
The building was the only one still lit, with many technical staff on duty.
Zhang Zhibei rushed to the office, not bothering to knock, just pushed the door and entered.
"Haha! Huateng, good news, good news!"
Ma Teng looked up, seeing Zhang Zhibei's excited expression, and curiously asked, "What good news has you so excited?"
"The genius behind 361 Computer Security Manager is willing to meet with us!"
"We've set a meeting for next weekend!"
"And he said he would consider co-developing operating the 361 security software with our Tencent!" Zhang Zhibei was ecstatic.
He felt this could be a turning point for Tencent!
If they could secure the 361 security software project, it could potentially bring significant revenue to Tencent!
Ma Huateng, hearing this, was overjoyed, stood up, and said, "Good, very good!"
"Then next Sunday, I'll go with you to meet this Feng!"
