System: Master Your Life-Chapter 796 - 97: A True Man’s Ambition Should Flow East Like the Yangtze Toward the Sea (Part 2)
"Finally done!"
Xu Lin stretched lazily, feeling completely refreshed.
"Even fifty million isn't easy money!"
Making fifty million in half a month and still saying money isn't easy to earn—if others found out, Xu Lin would likely get scolded.
But Xu Lin is a person who values efficiency.
What does it mean to value efficiency?
It means not wasting one's energy easily.
The art of wealth lies in skill, not in hard labor.
Expending the least energy to earn loads of money is Xu Lin's ultimate pursuit in making money.
Having roughly completed the system, Xu Lin tested it again.
There are many ways to test a cybersecurity system, like perimeter defense, endpoint security, and so on—all of these need to be tested one by one.
Xu Lin operated and tested for another two hours, and was finally satisfied.
After that, Xu Lin packaged it and sent it to the client.
Once the task was done, Xu Lin went to sleep and slept until noon.
Upon waking, he saw the client's reply.
"Young Master Xu, your skills have stunned our company's tech department. We just tested this system and found it's very strong. You've accomplished this in just fourteen days?"
There were more than a dozen messages after that, which Xu Lin deemed irrelevant.
Xu Lin: "I promised you within half a month, and I stick to my word. You should also keep your promise and pay the remaining forty-nine million RMB on time."
Ten seconds later, the client replied: "Rest assured, Young Master Xu, we will transfer the final payment to your account this afternoon."
"By the way, Young Master Xu, our programmers said this system uses Chinese programming, and the code level is so advanced that they were shocked. They said your coding skills far surpass many tech experts, with more than a hundred thousand lines of code having application levels equivalent to a million lines!"
"So, your programmers aren't up to the mark either, knowing my code level is high, but not learning from it? My system must use Chinese programming; I've uploaded the code database on my personal website."
"Haha, well, since I don't quite understand, I didn't expect Young Master Xu to surprise us so greatly this time."
"Be sure to promote me a bit, casually post on Weibo or something, for me to get more orders."
"No problem, Young Master Xu, pleasure working with you. If we need anything in the future, we'll contact you again."
"Ok."
The two of them ended the call afterward.
This company holds a significant place domestically, with a market value exceeding ten billion. Otherwise, how could they pay fifty million for Xu Lin's work?
Therefore, Xu Lin thought, pulling off a fifty million job once might not be easy.
Though one can make fifty million from a domestic gig, most companies can't afford such a sum.
Xu Lin pondered a bit and felt he needed to take the path of large volume, otherwise, he couldn't quickly accumulate substantial money for training artificial intelligence or other purposes.
For example, offering three packages domestically, with fifty million being the big deal, besides having two million and five million deals.
Abroad, the price remains unchanged.
The boss has already paid them, so it's alright for Xu Lin to earn a bit more now?
Two in the afternoon.
The company posted a new Weibo, thanking Young Master Xu for crafting a super enterprise-level cybersecurity system, and stating that spending fifty million was very worthwhile. They also mentioned that the system was coded using Chinese programming, containing more than thirteen thousand lines, with performance comparable to over a million lines of English-coded cybersecurity systems, and specifically @Young Master Xu.
Many people flocked to the news.
"Wow, there's indeed a company paying fifty million to Young Master Xu?"
"Awesome, fifty million per gig, I didn't even offer that much when paying tribute to my ancestors during Qingming!"
"If I had fifty million, I wouldn't work a day, just live off the interest!"
"Programmer passing by, an enterprise-level cybersecurity system, with only thirteen thousand lines of Chinese programming code? Is it true?"
"A hacker from the top hundred domestically passing by, industry experts have already attempted to breach this system, testing its security, and guess what? The system's security level is extraordinarily high, absolutely secure, and Young Master Xu isn't boasting, fifty million per gig is real."
"Is it true? I could claim to be a hacker too, how do you prove you are one?"
"Hmm? Want me to share my ID with you, Li Yufeng?"
"Master, standing corrected!"
The online discussions were heated and quickly trended.
It wasn't about Young Master Xu developing a cybersecurity system for someone.
It was.
Young Master Xu earning fifty million from a single project.
RMB!
The average netizen's thinking is straightforward—fifty million is an astronomical number, sounding extravagant and full of buzz, so it quickly became a trend. As for what a cybersecurity system entails, it doesn't concern most people—not being programmers, they wouldn't understand anyway.
"Young Master Xu is awesome!"
"You see, some used to compare Mr. Xu and Young Master Xu, with Young Master Xu earning fifty million per gig, can Mr. Xu do that?"
"Mr. Xu and Young Master Xu's IP addresses have changed again, both are now in Jiangdu, previously in Dian Province. I'm increasingly suspicious they are the same person."
"Could they truly be the same person?"
The internet buzzed with chatter.
Four in the afternoon.
Before returning to school, Xu Lin logged into Young Master Xu's Weibo account and posted two new Weibo updates.
The first: Currently offering three packages, fifty million domestically for big deals, supporting large company services, medium package at twenty million, serving mid-sized companies, small package at five million, serving small companies. Welcome all companies to contact for collaboration, my capabilities speak for themselves. Additionally, international prices remain unchanged.
