"Sorry, Mr. Li, we have no financing plans at the moment. If there are any plans in this regard, I will contact you."
Zhao Min hung up the phone in his hand, put the phone on the landline, leaned on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
A week has passed since Butterfly Eyes was officially sold. During this week, Zhao Min kept answering the phone, asking about financing.
IDG, Penguin Investment, Sequoia, Jiuding Holdings, etc., some of the largest venture capital companies in the country, all called her, as well as many independent investors.
These days, she receives rude calls every time she answers the phone. In seven days, she received more than 70 calls. If it weren't for work, she would have unplugged the phone line.
Chairman Chen Mo was completely indifferent and left all matters to her. She felt that she had fallen into a big pit when she made the bet with Chen Mo.
But what made her relieved was that the sales of mobile phones were going very smoothly. The phone is waterproof, and coupled with the smooth experience of the Army Ant system, it has received many praises.
Many of the newly ordered mobile phones have already been delivered to users. Because of the cautious steps in the early stage, everything has been going very smoothly so far, with no major problems. There are only some discordant voices on the Internet occasionally, but they have no impact on them.
Regarding the waterproof interface issue, the mobile phone company has already contacted them.
Many mobile phone companies have their own unique designs for charging interfaces and headphone interfaces. Nowadays, the most common ones are 3.5MM headphone interfaces.
Butterfly Eye's unique waterproof interface design has attracted the interest of many companies.
Zhao Min said at the press conference that it can be authorized to external parties, so many people from mobile phone companies are already discussing authorization issues with them.
After all, not every company can choose wireless charging like Apple. The existence of a waterproof interface is not as expensive as wireless charging, but it also makes the phone waterproof.
Regardless of cost or practicality, waterproof interface is a good choice.
Now the company is moving forward steadily, and as long as it lasts for a while, it will be truly stable.
Just as Zhao Min was looking at the document, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Li Lingfeng hurried in with it.
"What happened?" Zhao Min frowned when she saw Li Lingfeng's appearance. In her impression, Li Lingfeng had always been very calm.
"Mr. Zhao, some articles have appeared on the Internet criticizing us, saying that the Army Ant system has major security vulnerabilities, and it has now caused a stir on the Internet."
"Security vulnerability?" Zhao Min became cautious: "Does it really exist?"
"Fake. I went to the technical department to find Lao Luo. Lao Luo said that the so-called security loopholes are completely false. Someone hired trolls to deliberately discredit us. I also got news from Julie. Many users chose return the goods."
Zhao Min picked up her phone and clicked on the news. Sure enough, as Li Lingfeng said, many articles were reporting on the security vulnerability of army ants.
After reading a few articles, Zhao Min also looked through the news comments.
There was a lot of criticism and abuse. Driven by a few trolls, the comments were one-sided and all attacked the Marching Ant Company.
A lot of news comments, all without brains.
Zhao Min glanced briefly, put down the phone, and rubbed the center of his eyebrows vigorously. What was supposed to come came anyway, and it was obvious that someone didn't want to see them go so smoothly.
"What should I do?" Li Lingfeng asked.
The emergence of the army ant system and butterfly eye has already shaken up the mobile phone market.
After their company was hyped up and its reputation was ruined, the Army Ant system was scrapped and no one else would dare to use it. Then swallow them up, repackage them, and push them out again.
This approach is a bit old-fashioned, but very effective.
"Don't worry, I'll contact the chairman first."
Zhao Min motioned to Li Lingfeng to sit down and wait before dialing Chen Mo's number.
Such a big thing happened, and she was so busy working here, but the chairman didn't know where to relax, which made her very helpless.
"Chairman, I have some bad news." Zhao Min spoke as soon as the call came through.
"Is it a security vulnerability in the Army Ant system?" Chen Mo said, turning off the news on his computer.
He designed the army ant system, so he couldn't be indifferent to this kind of thing.
As for the slander on the Internet, he doesn't care. It's mediocre not to be jealous. Every company will experience such trivial things.
"You know, that's the best." Zhao Min said.
"I can't even find the loopholes in the Army Ant system. I knew it was fake even before I even looked at it. You have no way to solve it?" Chen Mo asked
"It can be solved. I just want to ask you if there is a better way. After all, you know the army ant system best."
"Is this so?" Chen Mo thought for a while: "I do have a bold idea."
"You've always had bold ideas, tell me."
"Whoever can find a loophole and crack the mobile phone system will give him one million." Chen Mo said.
"Are you crazy?"
"Don't worry, you can't find it."
Chen Mo said with strong confidence that this was a mobile phone system obtained from the science and technology library and developed as an infrastructure.
After completion, it has also been optimized by the science and technology library. In terms of security, it is not perfect, but without the source code, it is not difficult to crack it. This is why he dares to think that the Army Ant system is better than other mobile phone systems.
"Okay, you don't have to worry. I, a part-time worker, don't have anything to worry about. But based on your ideas, I am going to change the approach. If you are not worried about someone finding a loophole, can you increase the bonus to two million?"
"The reward is less than five million, whatever you want to do."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Min looked at Li Lingfeng.
"Ling Feng, go publish a message. Who can find a loophole in the army ant system and crack the system with the data intact? Our company will donate two million, one million to the Children's Fund, and one hundred A reward of 10,000 yuan will be given to the person who finds the vulnerability, and the reward will be valid for half a year.”
Zhao Min has more problems with the company than Chen Mo. Now some people are smearing them and want to restore the company's reputation. Charity is the best way.
Once this kind of gimmick comes out, it will not only drive the sales of mobile phones, but also bring a good reputation to the company. The security of the Army Ant system will also be known to everyone, and it will serve multiple purposes.
"Yeah, I understand." Li Lingfeng nodded and left the office.
…
Regarding the topic of the army ant system, the Internet continues to be hot, and the security vulnerabilities of the army ant system have been mentioned in various articles.
Just when the popularity was at its peak, Army Ant’s official Weibo reprinted an article describing security vulnerabilities in the Army Ant system and issued a public response.
"Challenge post! The chairman said: One vulnerability costs RMB 2 million. If any person or team finds a vulnerability in the Army Ant system and cracks the phone while the data on the phone is intact, the company is willing to pay RMB 2 million and donate RMB 1 million to the Children's Fund. , one million to the person or team who cracked it. (The reward is valid for six months, and the final interpretation of this announcement belongs to our company)."
As soon as this response came out, it was like pouring cold water into an already boiling pot of oil. It instantly ignited the heat of public opinion and pushed the topic to a new climax.
# marchantcompanyresponse#
This topic instantly occupied the front row of the hot search list.
The official Weibo account of Marching Ant Company was quickly occupied by all kinds of joke makers.
"Me: Mom, give me money quickly. I want to learn computers. I can make a fortune. It's one million. Mom: Do you want to play games in an Internet cafe? The kid's father, tie him up quickly."
"Last time he lied to me to go to Dubai to beg, then he lied to me to go to Ukraine to marry a wife. Last year he told me that I could make money by playing poker in prison. My butt still hurts. Now I want to lie to me to learn computer technology and find loopholes. I I quit... That boss, I’ll pay my salary for moving bricks, and I have to pay my tuition. Oh, yes, I’m going to learn computers.”
"Bamboo Rat, Bamboo Rat, clearance sale."
There were a lot of comments on Army Ant's official Weibo, all with strange styles. The news that Army Ant Company was offering a reward of two million quickly overshadowed the smear news.
The article that used the security vulnerability of the Army Ant system as an attack point died quickly after the response came out. All reports on the Internet turned to the Marching Ant bounty incident.
This incident was so horrific that even Apple didn't dare to say such a thing. I didn't expect that an ant that had just emerged from the nest would dare to say such a thing.
After the news spread, technical experts from all walks of life quickly paid attention to the official Weibo account of Army Ant and forwarded the message, announcing that they would join the cracking team.
The leaders of the famous domestic Penguin Network Security Team and Qihu Network Security Team also retweeted Weibo and publicly stated that they would join the team to crack the code. Once cracked, all the money would be donated to charity.
A piece of news sparked a vigorous craze on the Internet to crack the Army Ant system.
