Wang Xin, the current chairman of Rising Company, is an extremely mysterious figure. When Rising faced the pressure of public opinion from the media again and again, he never stood up and said a word to the company he founded. Rising's growth is undoubtedly a miracle of China's computer industry. Rising, as the absolute overlord of the domestic antivirus market, has long occupied 60% of the personal antivirus market and nearly 40% of the enterprise security market. Rising has only 654.38 million yuan left at the beginning of the year, and still owes 1.5 million for advertising. Today, it occupies half of the domestic anti-virus market, and even people associate it with the rise when they mention the virus. However, the creator of this miracle is not its chairman Wang Xin, but Liu Xu, the former national 863 anti-virus expert, the original designer and inventor of Rising antivirus software. According to industry rumors, Wang Xin made a fortune selling software in Zhongguancun when he was young, and later met Liu Xu through his mother who worked in Chinese Academy of Sciences. At that time, Liu Xu was a senior engineer and computer scientist at the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a major investor, Wang Xin co-founded Beijing Rising Technology Co., Ltd. with Liu Xu and Tian Yakui, then an official of the national ministries and commissions. From 65438 to 0998, Liu Xu resigned as the second largest shareholder of Rising and devoted himself to the research of "active antivirus software" which had a subversive impact on traditional antivirus software. From June, 5438 to October, 2005, Liu Xu and Tian Yakui, who also left Rising, founded Beijing Oriental Micro Information Technology Co., Ltd. The "active antivirus software" painstakingly developed by Liu Xu for many years is a new product that the company plans to attack the antivirus market. However, just as the micro-point products were brewing for listing, they suddenly encountered trouble. At the end of 2005, major media reported in succession that the Beijing police had cracked the "first case of China deliberately spreading network virus", and the party involved was Micro Point Company. According to the police, Micropoint Company "illegally downloaded and ran a variety of viruses on the Internet during the software development process", "caused a large number of computer viruses to spread on the Internet, which seriously endangered network security and caused great economic losses". The news was a sensation, and Tian Yakui, vice president of Micropoint Company, was detained by the police. On June 20th, 2007, Tian Yakui was detained for 1 1 month and released on bail for 12 months. The Haidian District Procuratorate of Beijing decided not to prosecute Tian Yakui. Micro-point active defense software was banned for two and a half years because of the so-called "the first case of domestic anti-virus companies spreading viruses", and was allowed to go through the pre-market testing procedures at the National Computer Virus Prevention and Control Product Testing Center. In February, 2008, micro-point active defense software finally got a sales license that had been blocked for nearly three years. Now, the whole story and twists and turns from "grievance" to "revenge" of Micropoint Company can be seen everywhere on the Internet. According to insiders, Rising's public relations strength is extremely strong, many negative reports have been withdrawn, and some media reporters have even been personally threatened. According to sources, Rising spends an astonishing amount of money on media public relations and advertising every year, a large part of which is used to manage government relations and pay bribes to responsible officials. In the micro-case, Zhang Bing, who has been detained in the network supervision department of Beijing Public Security Bureau, took bribes as high as10 million RMB. The source said that in the annual cost of Rising Company, the cost of product research and development is very small, and R&D personnel account for a very small proportion, while the departments including media advertising, public relations and marketing are the core strength of the company. "This is a very strange phenomenon for a technology company," the source said. When interviewing relevant people in the industry, I learned that in the last six months, Rising Company lost a large number of engineers and submitted resumes to other antivirus software companies in the same industry, including some middle and senior managers and employees of Rising General Marketing Department. Mao, the company's vice president in charge of public relations, kept his mouth shut when interviewed by this website, saying that he "can't represent Rising". But when Rising was surrounded by negative public opinion, it was the person who was interviewed and clarified, which made people wonder whether Mao was deliberately "distancing himself from Rising" because Rising's predicament could not be solved by the power of public relations. As the company's image spokesperson, he could only call himself "representative". Before the reporter's deadline, I finally saw Rising release a public statement on the Internet, saying that Wang Xuewu, the author of "Why a major original innovation survived-the whole story of Beijing Oriental Micro-Point Company coming back to life", and Rising Company had long held grudges, so they distorted and fabricated a lot of facts, reversed black and white, maliciously slandered and damaged Rising Company's reputation, and Rising Company would solve it through legal means. The text of this statement is also extremely "wonderful" and extremely dramatic. Although this statement is aimed at Wang Xuewu's professional ethics as a journalist, the article still claims that Liu Xu "stole Rising Company's exchange of virus database keys" and illegally established Oriental Micro Point Company. According to the news that the reporter learned from the National Computer Virus Prevention and Control Product Testing Center, the testing procedure of micro-point active defense software has ended, the sales license has been issued, and the product has been successfully listed. According to relevant insiders, Rising Company is currently facing unprecedented difficulties. Company accounts were sealed up and employees were unemployed. The top leader still refuses to come forward, and Vice President Zhao has been arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes, intimidation and extortion. The largest antivirus software manufacturer in China is facing a precarious situation.
