"Yes, it's free!

But when I say free, I don't mean it's all free.

We can divide the developed software into personal and enterprise versions.

In the personal version, the functions of word processing software and form processing software can be relatively simplified and provided to individual users for free.

In this way, we were able to take many customers from Kingsoft.

I believe that these customers will experience far more powerful functions than Kingsoft's software, and drive the reputation of our software to improve.

This in turn allows more businesses to buy the paid version.

That is, the enterprise version of the software.

In this way, we may be able to compete beyond the gold mountain. ”

Luo Li laughed as he spoke,

And Brother Xiao Ma and the others were also stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized,

Although there is still a trace of reluctance on their faces,

But after thinking that this is the only way to defeat the overlord Jinshan,

They all laughed.

It's as if defeating Jinshan has become a reality.

For the purpose of making office software free,

This was actually Luo Li's whimsical decision, not a deliberate one.

The reason is that he remembers his past life,

When computers became widespread,

Domestic pirated software is rampant,

Often, those software companies that set high prices are without exception obsolete.

Even though the software they make is very good,

But there is no escape from the fate.

For example, Kaspersky, a leader in antivirus software,

There are also domestic Ruixing and Jinshan drug tyrants who have experienced such a painful process.

Although they dominated the country for a while,

But it was soon beaten by the free Tencent butler and 360 antivirus.

Another example is Microsoft and WPS,

Although both set a price, in the end not only did they not decline,

Instead, he won a lot of imitators,

Completely dominate the office software field.

The most important reason for this is nothing more than piracy.

Regardless of whether the price of an office set is 800 or 1000,

But when it comes to Xia Guoren's computers, they are all free to use without exception.

So Luo Li made up his mind,

Instead of groping painfully between charging and not charging,

It's better to be free from the beginning,

Let your office software quickly occupy the national market,

And make it impossible for others to imitate.

Luo Li cannot explain these ideas from God's perspective,

Fortunately, Brother Pony has unconditional trust in himself.

So he quickly took his advice.

Brother Xiaoma, like Luo Li, belongs to people who are determined to do what they say.

He immediately looked in front of Luo Li,

The development of the new office software was carefully arranged.

Luo Li watched everything and didn't make a sound.

Because he felt that

Some things still need to be good,

If you are too involved,

I'm afraid it will backfire.

After all, there are too many ideas mixed in 20 years later.

It may not fit the characteristics of the current era, but it will fail completely.

After Brother Xiao Ma finished arranging, Luo Li summoned him to his side again.

whispered to him, "Show you something good." ”

Little Brother Ma smiled, and just wanted to ask him,

saw Luo Li solemnly found a butterfly icon on the computer,

And opened this software called MSN with the mouse.

"Can we make a copy of this thing?"

Seeing Luo Li's solemn words, Xiao Ma came to him and carefully observed this software.

After a while, he touched his hair and said:

"It's not hard to do. Isn't it just putting the SMS service on the Internet?

I should be able to write this code in a week. ”

"Well, I'll do it this week. ”

"Now?"

Little Brother Ma was a little surprised.

He turned his head to look at his busy colleagues,

Embarrassed, he said to Luo Li:

"The pager system is not finished yet, and now we have to make office software.

So I'm afraid I don't have time for this instant messaging app.

It's all paid content.

Like email, voice conversations, video conversations.

It would take some time to write all of these projects. ”

"It doesn't have to be that complicated, as long as it can chat.

The interface must be simple and refreshing. ”

Luo Li suddenly smiled and patted Brother Xiaoma's arm.

"There's no rush on this, I'll write one out if I have time. ”

After speaking, he got up and beckoned,

took Xu Hongqi and walked outside Xiao Ma's office.

"Well, don't you stay to eat?"

Brother Xiao Ma saw that Luo Li was leaving, so he hurriedly stayed.

But Luo Li shook his hand and pointed at the computer,

Then he smiled at the impatient little pony.

"If I stay, will you die in a hurry?"

Brother Ma was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"Then go ahead.

I'm going to work, and we'll eat together when the software is ready. ”

Luo Li made an ok gesture to Brother Xiaoma,

But he hasn't walked outside the company yet,

I saw that Brother Pony was already sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard.

"What a workaholic!"

Luo Li shook his head and walked out with emotion,

Only then did he take a closer look at Brother Xiaoma's company.

I saw that the company was located in a corner of an office building of less than 50 square meters.

The blue-painted plywood was divided into more than twenty small partitions.

Little Pony sat in the most inconspicuous corner.

"It's shabby. I don't know where Mr. Ma spent the 500,000 yuan. ”

Suddenly, Xu Hongqi, who was standing with Luo Li, sighed with a smile.

But as soon as his words fell, he saw Luo Li pointing to the sky and said:

"Internet!"

"Internet?" Xu Hongqi was a little confused.

"Yes, Brother Xiaoma's server is IBM's, and it cost 200,000,

Pulled the fastest network cable and spent 100,000.

It was also my idea to rent this office building, 50,000 yuan a year.

But I think it's well spent.

After all, Internet companies must have a high level of compulsion, so that customers can feel the high level of technology. ”

Luo Li explained to Xu Hongqi as he walked towards the elevator.

"Well, that makes sense.

The address on the business card is printed with the best office building in Quanpeng City,

This is much more efficient than advertising.

At first glance, it makes people feel very compelled and powerful.

However, is it necessary for Brother Pony to buy such an expensive server?

How many people are there in their company?"

"The CPU of the cheap server is still 286, and it can't be used at all.

It was also my idea to buy a more expensive server.

However, the purpose of bringing you out today,

I just want to lower the price of servers and computers.

Let's go and meet that person. ”

"See whom?

Alas, Mr. Luo is waiting for me!"

Xu Hongqi saw that Luo Li had already stepped into the elevator, and hurriedly followed.

But when he saw Luo Li enter the elevator, he didn't press the first floor, but pressed the number on the top floor.
