Looking at Wu Maocai, Huiming, Han Guang and others, eager or puzzled, Fang Chen shrugged his shoulders and fell silent with a helpless expression.

The pendulum of the clock on the wall came back and forth, driving the hands to tick forward, never looking back.

I don't know how long it took, Fang Chen sighed quietly, and said slowly: "If you don't sell it, you can't do it, WPS can't survive in these years, but if there is a little possibility, I won't move the mind of selling WPS." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Chen said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you know, Microsoft also has a name, called Giant Hard. ”

In the PC world, Microsoft is undoubtedly the most terrifying giant, relying on the operating system, Microsoft has almost monopolized the entrance to all personal computers.

Once Microsoft integrates any software into its own system, that software is definitely the first in the world.

In the previous life, why WPS was beaten by Microsoft Office software in this situation of occupying the right time and place, is not because Microsoft Office software is already on the user's desktop when installing the Microsoft operating system.

Since there are ready-made meals to eat, probably no one wants to go through the trouble of tossing WPS.

Another example is the Netscape Viewer.

The emergence of Netscape Browser is a major event in the history of the Internet, with epoch-making significance, it can be said that the browser controlled the entrance to the Internet at that time, and was the father of all Internet companies.

Netscape was marketed as shareware, and after subsequent releases and feature updates, it quickly became the number one browser market, capturing 70% of the market share in less than a year.

In 1995, Netscape, which had just been established for less than a year, was successfully listed, making it the fastest listed high-tech enterprise in the United States.

Netscape did not disappoint investors, with the stock rising from $28 to $75 on the day it went public, with a market capitalization of $3 billion. At the time, Netscape was likened to the "Microsoft of the Internet", outperforming Bill Gates.

Netscape Browser is not only an entry point to the Internet, but also an application software platform in its own right, posing a huge threat to Microsoft's Windows operating system.

Anderson, the founder of Netscape, once boasted: "In front of Netscape, Windows is just a bunch of poorly designed drivers." ”

At that time, Microsoft was already a supergiant with a market value of more than $250 billion, and Windows 95 swept the world.

Well, that's right, but in just three years, Microsoft's market value has swelled tenfold.

Bill Gates originally thought that the future world would be a personal computer, but the emergence of Netscape frightened him, because the success of Netscape clearly told him that the future belongs to the Internet, and whoever masters the entrance to the Internet will master the Internet.

For the first time since its founding, Microsoft feels threatened and intimidated.

So Microsoft started to fight back.

First Microsoft offered to buy Netscape, which was rejected.

Microsoft then proposed to cooperate with Netscape to form a strategic partnership, and in order to achieve cooperation, Microsoft even promised to make concessions in almost all aspects of the operating system.

This "knee bending" is unprecedented and unprecedented.

But Anderson, who was at the peak of his career, didn't want to be affiliated with Microsoft, what he wanted to do was to replace it, and the negotiations broke down.

Later, everyone knew about it, and Bill Gates told all the programmers at Microsoft to stop what they were doing and go all out to develop a browser called IE.

With its bundle with Microsoft's operating system and a free gimmick, Internet Explorer quickly took over the browser market, charging $45 per user at the time.

In just two years, Netscape, which thought it would become the second Microsoft, and even replaced Microsoft, faced a loss of nearly 100 million US dollars, and its stock price was cut by 80 percent, and it was finally forced to sell to AOL at a low price, and since then it has withdrawn from the world stage.

It can be said that once it is targeted by Microsoft, it is only a matter of time before it fails.

If Bill Gates gradually withdraws from Microsoft's management after the turn of the millennium, there may still be a possibility that software will compete with Microsoft on the PC, but not now.

Similar to this kind of use of their monopoly position in a certain aspect, suppress targets, steal by tricks, and obtain excess profits abounds.

A certain news, Meituan, Baidu, and even Alimo are not as good.

Hearing Fang Chen say this, Wu Maocai and the others' mood suddenly became heavy, and they even felt powerless.

Since Mr. Fang said so, I'm afraid there is really no way.

"It's just that Microsoft doesn't want to make money in Huaxia. An inexplicable smile suddenly flashed at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.

Hearing this, Wu Maocai, Huiming and the others looked at each other in a daze, how could they not understand what Mr. Fang said.

Co-author, this Microsoft has paid such a big price, and it can't make money in Huaxia, so it's not a pit for Microsoft.

Well, that's right, Fang Chen is indeed cheating Microsoft.

As he said before, the contribution of the Huaxia market to Microsoft's revenue usually hovers around 1%, the highest is not more than 2%, and the lowest is only 0.78%, which is extremely incommensurate with the identity of the world's most populous country, the world's largest computer total, and the second largest economy in the previous life.

There is no way, who made Huaxia's piracy system too much, it can be said that there are pirated everywhere, and there are very few genuine versions, which makes Microsoft how to make money.

That is to say, although Microsoft Office software was quickly popularized in China because of Microsoft's operating system, squeezing out the original WPS market, this part of the market is a useless market, there is such a big market, so many users, but it can't bring half of Microsoft's income.

But therefore, Fangchen could not prevent the WPS market from being encroached upon by Microsoft Office.

Microsoft doesn't want money, and it's integrated into the Microsoft system, as soon as you open the desktop, which makes it how to play Jinshan, which now charges 2200 yuan per set of WPS.

Anyway, Fang Chen really couldn't think of it, WPS had a little chance of winning, unless he kept smashing it with money!

But this is clearly something unsustainable.

Wait for WPS to make money, then he won't have to wait another twenty or thirty years.

Seriously, in the previous life, even if Kingsoft was not squeezed to death by Microsoft, it had to be squeezed to death by pirated discs everywhere.

Pirated CDs cost ten yuan, five yuan a piece, and only fools buy genuine ones.

Genuine consciousness, not to mention Huaxia, which has just eaten a full meal now, is thirty years later, and it can be said that there are very few.

In the future, software companies can also engage in so-called free software and rely on advertising fees to make a living, and at this time, where to find companies that are willing to advertise on software.

Qingtian is now the largest enterprise in China and the one that spends the most advertising money every year, and he is not willing.

Because the largest number of users now are TV stations, newspapers and magazines, and even some essayists have more readers than computer users, so he will advertise on the software only after his brain is pumped.

But what is more important to know is that the software is free and makes money by advertising, which can only be applied to some small enterprises with small costs, and it will not work at all for large enterprises, especially listed companies.

A hundred pirated users is not as good as a genuine one.

And now selling WPS to Microsoft, he can get hundreds of millions of dollars, or even billions of dollars, from Microsoft every year, he takes this money to Kingsoft, and let Kingsoft develop domestic software?

And WPS is not impossible to do, just find thirty or forty programmers to develop WPS all the time, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars every year, can't you pay the salaries of these programmers?

The only helplessness is that even if this WPS is studied, it can only be hidden in the shadows, at most it will be circulated for free in some small areas, and it is necessary to be prepared to hide it for 20 years.

Anyway, he thinks that before the advent of the mobile Internet, before Microsoft no longer has a dominant position, it will be difficult for WPS to make a difference, at most it will be specially supplied to some government departments, the military, etc., just like Loongson.

Seriously, he had thought about it for so long and thought it was the best solution.

Although nominally sold to Microsoft, WPS has been able to survive and continue to develop until the day when it will shine brightly.

To be precise, the word 'stunning' is the best way to describe it.

Anyway, it's better than Jinshan can't sustain it, and the tree is falling apart, so Lei Jun considers transforming it into a health care product company.

After listening to Fang Chen's general explanation, Wu Maocai and the others were not only relieved, but even looked at Fang Chen with a very strange look.

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, why do you look at me with this look!"

Fang Chen frowned and kicked at Wu Maocai.

I don't know if it's because Fang Chen hasn't kicked himself for too long, or how to drop, Wu Mao didn't dodge, and was kicked firmly on the ass by Fang Chen, staggering.

Wu Maocai patted the dust on his buttocks disapprenantly, and then smiled at Fang Chen a little, "Ninth Master, you are so pitiful to Bill Gates, you are not afraid that Bill Gates will not agree." ”

"Disagree...... Fang Chen's mouth twitched, revealing a disdainful smile.

Fang Chen's appearance was really a little hideous and terrifying in the eyes of Wu Maocai and the others.

According to Jin Zhijiang's report, once the optical disc factory starts production, it will be able to guarantee an annual output of 50 million optical discs, and then when the product is stable, it is not impossible to increase the optical disc production line to an annual output of 100 million discs. ”

Hearing Fang Chen say this, Wu Maocai and the others blinked their eyes and looked at Fang Chen with a confused expression.

This optical disc factory was not established by Jiuye in order to cooperate with the VCD factory, and I heard Jiuye mean to use the optical disc produced by himself to squeeze all kinds of pirated optical disc manufacturers in the future, so as soon as it is put into production, the goal is 100 million pieces.

But they didn't see what this disc factory had to do with Bill Gates.

Fang Chen smiled and did not explain.

Or to be precise, Fang Chen didn't want to reveal too much about the future, it was easy to cause surprise, and even suspicion, that he had passed the stage where he needed to play the role of a prophet to prove himself and convince others.

If Bill Gates didn't agree before, he planned to dump his CDs at low prices in those computer cities, and even find money to install booths in those computer cities.

And there is only one condition, that is, to steal the beam and replace the column, and replace the Microsoft Office software integrated in the original system disk and the original Windows system with WPS.

He didn't believe that WPS could be defeated by Microsoft Office in this way.

Microsoft can't follow his example, and give money to those installation booths, so that these installations can be installed with Microsoft Office software system disks.

It's obviously pirated, it's already very uncomfortable, and you have to post money to people who hurt yourself, this kind of humiliating thing, Microsoft shouldn't be able to do it.

But the reason why he didn't do it is very simple, except for disgusting Microsoft and preventing the spread of Microsoft office software in China, it is meaningless.

In this way, it seems that WPS's market share has been maintained, as if it is a great victory for domestic software in the face of the oppression of foreign giants, but it still can't change the fact that WPS can't make money and can't charge from users, and what it has obtained is just a false name.

Since he can't create any value, if he doesn't post money that day, then Jinshan will still be a dead end, and he has to consider selling health care products.

It's better to sell WPS to Microsoft now, and you can continue to make a lot of money, practice your internal skills, and wait for the reality of shining brightly.

This is probably what Taizu said, if you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will gain both people and land.

Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood.

And seriously, Fang Chen thinks why piracy is rampant in Huaxia, almost everyone uses pirated operating systems, although there are too many pirates and they are too small, and Huaxia's laws are not perfect, and the protection of intellectual property rights is not enough, and Microsoft can't investigate them one by one.

But there is definitely a deliberate connivance in Microsoft.

Anyway, he hadn't heard of Microsoft's anti-piracy system, and Microsoft had always called them, the pirated users, "victims of pirated software!"

Seriously, whether he used pirated software himself or not, whether he was a victim of pirated software, he didn't know better than Microsoft.

Fang Chen feels that a very important reason why Microsoft will do this is to suppress other operating system companies, so that they cannot survive in Huaxia, that is, the so-called, if they can't get it, others can't think about it.

He even thinks that Microsoft's idea came about because of WPS.

Microsoft is afraid that a second operating system company similar to WPS will appear, and one WPS can still solve it, which is really bad if Huaxia becomes a fertile ground for another operating system company.

Seeing Fang Chen's appearance, Wu Maocai and the others wisely closed their mouths, they knew very well that with Fang Chen's current state, it was impossible to reveal too much information to them.

After so many years with Fang Chen, they are still very clear about Fang Chen's bad taste.

But as soon as he thought about it, Wu Maocai couldn't help but say: "Then the ninth master, why did Bill Gates agree to give you 8% of the income of Microsoft Office software, this seems to be a little more, right?"
