After obtaining Yang Fan's assurance, Lord Bai and Leibu Si looked at each other at the same time.
Then, Qiu Baijun slowly said,""Then, President Yang, should we also move the company to Hongshan City?”
"There's no need. You guys can stay in the capital. Hongshan is still a little too small!”Yang Fan shook his head. At this time, only a fool would let Jinshan move a company to Hongshan.
He only had connections and channels in the capital.
Without these, everything would be just sleep talking.
Yang Fan said indifferently," Hongmeng Technology is Hongmeng Technology, and Jinshan Software is Jinshan Software. It doesn't mean much in one place. I asked you to come over this time mainly because I have something to discuss with you. It's about WPS!”
At the mention of WPS, Qiu Baijun could not help but frown.
This was also the pain in Lord Bai's heart.
This was what Qiu Baijun had written from May 1988 to September 1989. Back then, Qiu Baijun had locked himself in a room that Zhang Xuanlong had booked for him in Shen Cheng. As long as he was awake, he would write non-stop.
Whenever she was tired, she would sleep for a while. When she was hungry, she would eat instant noodles. During this one year and four months, Qiu Baijun fell ill three times. The first time was when he had a relapse of his liver, the second time was when he had a relapse of his liver, and the third time was when he had a relapse. Each time, he would be hospitalized for one to two months. The second relapse was the most critical moment in the development of the software. Bai Jun, please move the computer to the ward and continue writing. The pain of development was not being plagued by illness, nor was it being physically and mentally haggard, but loneliness.
After that, WPS began to make money. It sold more than 30,000 sets a year, and the wholesale price of each set was more than 2200 yuan. Their annual income was around 6.6 million.
As for how much he earned, Qiu Baijun himself said,""This is the company making money. To me, it's not making much money. I'm just a part-timer. At the beginning of the development, he didn't talk to the company about commission or shares. He didn't have anything. It was the boss who gave me a little bonus.”
"If I had been thinking about how to make money from the beginning, I wouldn't be here today. A career had nothing to do with money. When you put your heart and soul into development, you would do it even if you were not paid. When they were developing, they did not have the mood to think about remuneration at all. Only when they had achieved success in their careers would they be qualified to talk about remuneration.”
WPS, who sang triumphantly all the way, met with Word's challenge in 1993. Qiu Baijun took the initiative to accept the challenge and created a product similar to the Office suite called Pangu. It had WPS, a digital watch, and a dictionary.
The Windows operating system of Microsoft.com quietly landed in China. Kingsoft and Microsoftreached an agreement that both parties could read each other's files. This agreement became the turning point of WPS 'decline.
In 1996, with the popularity of the windows operating system, Word 6.0 and Word97, which were spread through various channels, successfully transitioned most WPS users to their own users. The development of WPS entered a historical low.
However, it was also this year that Yang Fan directly brought 30 million.
Qiu Baijun slowly said," Boss, I know about that. However, it's a little troublesome. There are many new things in Windows that we haven't familiarized ourselves with yet. Now, there's another upgrade from Microsoft.com." Many technical information was also difficult to find. It's really hard for us to keep up with them!”
This problem, Yang Fan naturally knew it clearly too.
This was also the biggest trump card of Microsoft.The most important thing was that as long as people used a computer, they would automatically carry Office. This way, Microsoft.com could easily occupy the market.
You can't not use Windows, right?
This trick was also used by the company later on, but it was completely lost to the Goose Factory in China. However, in foreign countries, the most popular instant messaging tool was still Messenger.
It was installed automatically when it was turned on. This was the killer move.
"I have my own opinion!" Yang Fan slowly said," If we are going to compete with Microsoft.com, our WPS will have to consider a problem: how to retain our users!”
Qiu Baijun slowly said," I've thought about this. First, we need to adapt to the version of Windows. Now that they're upgrading too quickly, we have to adapt!“
Yang Fan smiled slightly and slowly said,"Then, have you considered the shortcomings of Windows?”
"Weakness?"
Lord Qiu Bai was slightly stunned. Yang Fan slowly opened his mouth and said,""The biggest problem with the operating system is the blue screen and the crash, right?“
Qiu Baijun nodded, then frowned and said,""This problem has always existed, but so far, Windows is still the most advanced operating system. We can't bypass Windows95 and create a new operating system!“
"Well then!"
Yang Fan smiled and slowly said,"If I were you, I would be typing when the computer suddenly went black. All the information that you spent so much effort to organize is gone!”
At this point, Yang Fan raised his head and looked at Qiu Baijun."How do you feel?"
Qiu Baijun was slightly taken aback. It wasn't like he hadn't had similar experiences before. When he was typing the code, there was a sudden power failure, and all the codes he had typed were gone.
I beg Baijun to smash your computer on the spot.
Was there anything more maddening than this?
This was a huge weakness of Office, it could not be saved automatically!
Yang Fan slowly said,"What we need to do is to develop this auto-save function!"”
Speaking up to this point, Yang Fan thought carefully for a moment and then continued,"Other than that, we also need a new function, which is to integrate with the Internet. We might be able to consider an account. As long as we log in to this account, we can retrieve information from another computer!”
Qiu Baijun couldn't help but frown. He slowly said,"" This is theoretically possible, but…"
"This requires a server!"
Yang Fan took over and continued," That's not a problem. I'm preparing to place this server in Hongshan City. At the same time, I've already gotten Hongmeng Technology to develop it. The supporting WPS will also be our Beyonder Network. Other than that, I'll also build a data center in Hongshan. Don't worry, I'm not short of money!”
"I'm not short of money!"
Lord Qiu Bai and Lei Bu Si looked at each other. They both felt the immense wealth and strength on Yang Fan.
Buying a server just like that and even creating a portal website, this Yang Fan, what was he trying to do?
Was he really going to create the Internet?
Currently, the most popular internet was Ying Haiwei. At that time, Ying Haiwei was the first and only internet that was open to ordinary families. It used a pay-to-access profit model.
Ying Haiwei was the first company to propose the concept of the " People's Network ", allowing the Internet, which was used by professionals at that time, to enter the homes of ordinary people. Therefore, it developed rapidly in the early stages and received investment from Xingfa Group.
Was Yang Fan planning to challenge Ying Haiwei?
However, they couldn't care so much now. Yang Fan was still talking. He continued,"In addition, we have to be fast. We have to deal a heavy blow to them before they react. At least in China, WPS will rule the world!”
