Chapter 679 Kaspersky
"Mr. Lin is very welcome to travel and invest in Moscow."
Yeltsin, the mayor of Moscow who was in charge of Lin Qi, was... the person who sent the Soviet Union to the grave with him, and he also brought a group of people with him. The formation was very large and he led a few people into the most luxurious restaurant.
After all, the capital is still the capital. With the idea of Lin Qi's intention, Yeltsin spent a lot of money. Originally, Moscow was not rich in finance, but he tried to make resources to entertain him.
"Mr. Lin, although we have encountered some situations at the moment, we have the confidence and ability to solve them well. You can invest with confidence. I believe that the investments of Mox and Russia will definitely give you a generous return." Yeltsin was completely lying, "Of course, we recommend you to buy bonds for the municipal development of Moscow, with an annual interest rate of 25%, and we have a large number of high-quality assets to mortgage, with an investment of US$100 million. Even if we can't afford to exchange them at that time, you can still take away the collateral!"
fart!
During this period, Yeltsin borrowed money, which did not seem to be used to develop municipal governments, but to be used to cause trouble.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, many troops remained indifferent because the Soviet Union could not afford wages, so they were passively slacking off and stopped working.
Yeltsin and others found ways to get the money and bribed a group of direct armed forces. In the end, a very small number of armed forces drove into Moscow and won!
Because the Soviet Union was watching, with only a very small number of rebellious forces. Therefore, they only defeated a very small number of people and won the regime in a game and announced the complete dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Lin Qi did not refuse Yeltsin's investment on the spot, but he did not obviously take the team. It was actually not good to take the team at this time. After all, the KGB is still falling.
Lin Qi will not buy Yeltsin's bond for the time being, because it is too obvious. At present, Lin Qi only plans to open the Russian branch first.
Because it was a Russian branch, Yeltsin and others were overjoyed, thinking that Lin Qi was actually optimistic about them, not the Soviet Union!
Under Yeltsin's order, Moscow was naturally extremely cooperative. The Russian branch of the New Entrepreneurship Group was established with an investment of US$100 million. Its headquarters was established in Moscow. Diana also served as the general manager of the Russian branch of the New Entrepreneurship Group.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was mainly conducted internally, and then the Russian loudspeaker promoted it to the streets for several days.
After that, whether it was the Soviet faction or the Russian faction that wanted to split up, Lin Qi, a large foreign company, could win over, and even respond to all requests.
After all, in the future, both sides will need money to compete for power and profit. It is difficult to obtain money in Russia. The key to winning is to attract overseas funds.
Lin Qi's first investment project was to attack Kaspersky.
Although there were many complete Internet companies at home and abroad in later generations, Kaspersky Laboratory was definitely an old-fashioned and powerful figure. Once, domestic soft-soft companies would cooperate with Kaspersky as a killer weapon to seize the market.
Kingsoft, 360 and other software once cooperated with Kaspersky and established a reputation for killing soft-soft in the short term. After the technical cooperation with Kaspersky, the strength of antivirus software also dropped sharply.
Later Kaspersky was also a pride of the Russian software industry. But now, the concept of the Internet economy has not yet emerged, and antivirus software and security have not been valued, so Lin Qi is ready to take down this potential laboratory first.
...
Kaspersky has the most cutting-edge technology, headquartered in Moscow, and its founder is Russian Eugene Kaspersky. In 1989, after he accidentally discovered a computer virus, he began related research.
Based on these research, Kaspersky Eugene founded the AVP Laboratory. Later, this laboratory, which was the predecessor of Kaspersky, was not registered as a company until 1997, and began to promote its software around the world. It was also from the late 1990s to the early 21st century that many Chinese security manufacturers were able to obtain Kaspersky's technical authorization at a low price, using Kaspersky's engines and virus databases, and selling Kaspersky's software. Most of the Chinese manufacturers who were agents to sell achieved considerable business results. For example, Kingsoft, 360s borrowed Kaspersky's technology!
When Lin Qi brought Diana to Eugene Kaspersky, he was buried behind the messy counter and perfecting his computer program.
If Eugene was not in Lin Qi's plan at this time, but the development of computers in this world was at least ten years ago. Viruses actually exist, so naturally Kaspersky was used. Although there are very few people who have registered antivirus patents worldwide, no one can be sure that an antivirus genius will come out one day.
"Hello, are you going to buy software? Our lab can customize security software and can detect thousands of Internet viruses. It costs $25! If you plan to buy our commercial license, a regional commercial license of 100,000 US dollars a year!"
Eugene was very tall and had a vigilant look in her eyes. She quickly looked at Lin Qi and the others. Her work in the KGB made him look keen as a soldier. Even if he had withdrawn from the KGB organization, this kind of trait could not be erased. However, it was obvious that Eugene mistakenly regarded them as investors from Japan.
After all, Asians are still the most frequent overseas investment activities in Japan. Many of those investment activities are big businesses.
The kind of business that Chinese traitors do is actually a small business that many businessmen in developed countries look down on by small stalls and vendors.
"No, we want to invest in you." Diana said.
"Invest in me?" Eugene stopped his work. This was strange. Now that everyone is hiding in digging food, Russia can't find a few decent people. The government has lost its corruption, and the army is constantly eroding. All those with capital have exchanged gold reserves, and they have found places to hide. Some people dare to invest?
His eyes fell on Lin Qi, and after thinking for a while, he finally remembered it.
"Are you the new entrepreneur Lin Qi?" Eugene chatted, and her tongue was rolled with excitement, but if he wasn't excited, his tongue was rolled with it. Naturally, the content was translated by Diana.
Lin Qi smiled, it seemed that his popularity was not too bad.
Eugene calmed down quickly, and naturally couldn't help but feel excited. There was no doubt that Lin Qi was investing in his technology. Although the Internet in Russia is not popular now, there are still Internet and computers. Therefore, Eugene also knew that his research must have commercial value, but it is difficult to sell at this stage in Russia.
Only by selling the products to the world can you have a chance!
The opportunity is here!
When he recognized Lin Qi, he knew that if he seized the opportunity, he would be able to operate from time to time.
"I am very optimistic about the prospects of antivirus software. With the increase of Internet users, the complete problem is becoming more and more important. I am optimistic about the Soviet Union's mathematics, physics and chemistry education. These high-level education are necessary for developing security software. In addition, Russia is seriously unemployed and can hire talents at a cheap price. I plan to acquire your team for US$5 million, which requires only 49% of the equity! But the condition is that the antivirus and Internet technology of the Kaspersky Laboratory team will be completely shared with our new entrepreneurial electronics group, and we have the right to use your technology and patents."
Due to the habit of language barriers, Lin Qi did not take any more turns and directly threw out his chips.
After Diana translated, she saw Eugene's face change and a hint of flushing. He turned around and took out a bottle of vodka, raised his head and took a mouthful.
This fund is enough to support many of his ambitious R&D projects, but Eugene is also a good person and dare not show it too clearly on the surface. He said now: "My position in the team is unquestionable, but because of a series of contracts, I must communicate with the entire laboratory."
Nonsense... This laboratory is currently mainly supported by Eugene's personal technology and research direction. The key technicians are Eugene Kaspersky himself, and no one else is the key person.
Lin Qi saw it at a glance, but he didn't point it out and gave Eugene a day to discuss with others.
Soon, Eugene gave an answer and agreed to Lin Qi's investment, but Eugene insisted on one thing. In the future, software sales in the European market will be hosted by Kaspersky. The new entrepreneurial department uses its technology and can be sold and used in other markets around the world.
Lin Qi had no objection to this. Anyway, the Internet market in the future will not be dominated by Europe. There are so many languages and countries in Europe, with a population of tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and scattered, and the market size is not very large.
