Chapter 567: Stake in WPS
"Mr. Chen. ”
"Ask for the president, I have heard of the name for a long time. ”
Chen Yu met with Qiu Bojun in Qiu Bojun's office.
After a few brief polite words, both of them looked at each other.
For Qiu Bojun, the Chen Yu in front of him in just a few years has surpassed everything he has done in the past ten years.
More importantly, the gap between them Kingsoft and Huanyu Technology is getting wider and wider.
Even, there is almost no comparison.
Similarly, for Chen Yu, Chen Yu is also recalling Qiu Bojun's IT career in his mind.
It should be said that Qiu Bojun is the first batch of IT people in China.
In the IT world, he started his career much earlier than many people.
His products, Kingsoft Poison, Kingsoft Word Tyrant, Kingsoft Typing, and WPS were all the rage.
It's a pity that Jinshan Glory came too early, and it didn't reflect his value much at all.
After the rise of the domestic Internet industry, Kingsoft has declined.
In his previous life, Qiu Bojun chose to retire and left the IT rivers and lakes after Penguin acquired Jinshan.
At this point, there is not much news about Qiu Bojun.
"It should be that I have heard of your name for a long time, Mr. Chen. ”
The two of them had a lot of thoughts in their minds, and they begged Bojun to open his mouth and said, "Mr. Chen, can you help me answer a few doubts?"
"Of course. ”
Chen Yu looked at Qiu Bojun puzzled.
I don't know why he asked.
However, thinking of the current situation in Jinshan, Chen Yu also understands.
"Mr. Qiu, what do you say?"
"Do you think there is still a chance for Jinshan Poison Bully in the future?"
The first one, Qiu Bojun asked directly, it was the Jinshan drug bully.
In the area of antivirus software, Kingsoft Antivirus is one of Kingsoft's core businesses.
But unfortunately, this business was forced by the person in front of him to cause the market to plummet.
Although there is still a certain market share, Qiu Bojun vaguely feels that in the future, Jinshan Poison Tyrant will be forced by their 360 sooner or later to have no way out.
"Nope. ”
Almost without consideration, as soon as this question came out, Chen Yu answered.
After 360 comes out, there will be only one domestic antivirus software market in the future, and there will be no more Jinshan, no more Jiangmin, and no more Ruixing.
"Of course, there are still some opportunities in the enterprise-level gold mountain. ”
Chen Yu told the truth.
Qiu Bojun's heart sank, and he didn't argue with Chen Yu, and continued to ask, "Then what do you think of Xishanju?"
"Xishanju is a good game production company, but it is not necessarily a good game operation company. ”
Chen Yu is also telling the truth.
"Mr. Chen is blunt?"
"Since Mr. Qiu asked, if I don't tell the truth, this is my mistake. ”
"Thank you. ”
Qiu Bojun was not angry.
Chen Yu can directly point out their shortcomings, which is not a bad thing for Jinshan.
"What do you think of our investment in Excellence?"
Excellence.com is a B2C e-commerce website.
From the perspective of e-commerce development, whether it is B2C or C2C, he did not make much money in the early days.
Not to mention, in this life, the money-burning competition model provoked by Huanyu Mall, Excellence.com has some unbearable results.
The founders of Excellence.com, Chen Nian and Lei Jun, including the investor Jinshan Company, are interested in making a move.
And there is currently a good takeover.
Amazon from the United States.
It's just that despite this, Qiu Bojun is very optimistic about the domestic e-commerce market.
If you sell Joy.com now, you may lose the opportunity to enter the e-commerce market in the future.
can not be sold, the excellent network that has burned out the money is also not the opponent of Huanyu Mall.
This made Qiu Bojun hesitate.
"Excellence.com can't fight Ali, and it can't fight Huanyu Mall, so it's better to sell it to Amazon. ”
"Mr. Chen received the news?"
"How could such a big news not be known. ”
"How much do you think Excellence is worth?"
"Amazon might bid around $70 million, but you guys can hold on to $100 million. ”
In the previous life, Amazon's purchase price for Excellence was $75 million.
In this life, Amazon's offer for Excellence is about the same.
"Of course, if Amazon thinks it's too high, I can help you raise the price. ”
Chen Yu likes to do such good deeds.
"Thank you. ”
I would like to thank Bojun again.
In the industry, Chen Yu has a nickname called the Prince of Price Lifting.
Before 3721 they participated, and sold tens of millions of dollars more at once.
Later, Blizzard's World of Warcraft Chen Yu ran to raise the price again, and made a deal for NetEase.
Now Chen Yu wants to act as the prince of the price.
Of course, some people may say that since they know that Chen Yu is here to raise the price, just ignore him.
But in fact, if you do that, you lose even more.
If you don't buy it, Huanyu Technology is really likely to make a bid.
Whether it's 3721, or Blizzard's World of Warcraft, including the current Excellence Network.
Huanyu Technology has a reason to acquire, and if they do it, it will be a huge threat to everyone else.
Therefore, even if you know that Chen Yu is raising the price, you have to enter this pit.
This is also the reason why Qiu Bojun thanked Chen Yu again.
Although Chen Yu helps them raise the price is not necessarily to help Kingsoft, but cracking down on Amazon is also beneficial to Huanyu Technology.
"One more question......"
asked a few questions in a row, and Qiu Bojun felt a little bit at the bottom of his heart.
But the more confident he is, the more cold he feels in his heart.
It seems that the building is about to collapse.
This business is going to die, and that business is going to be sold, even if it is a barely passable online game business, at most it is to make some spare money. In addition to these, Kingsoft also has a core business.
This business is the office software business - WPS.
WPS has made great achievements.
Even Microsoft's Office was defeated by WPS in the domestic market back then.
But then as Office got better and better, WPS was almost unpopular.
Now it is extremely embarrassing to say that WPS is Kingsoft's core business.
You know, WPS can't make any money for Jinshan now, not only can't make money, but also lose money.
That is, there is no money to be made, there is no market, WPS can be said to be the worst business of Kingsoft...... Not one of them.
"What do you want to ask about WPS?"
It seems that Mr. Chen has already guessed it. ”
"I'm not guessing, but I'm actually here for WPS this time. ”
Chen Yu said the reason why he came to see Qiu Bojun.
"Coming for WPS?"
Qiu Bojun was a little puzzled: "Mr. Chen is also interested in office software?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Yu nodded: "I want to take a stake in your company's WPS." ”
"Stake?"
Qiu Bojun was a little surprised: "Mr. Chen should know the market share of our WPS. ”
"I know that the market share is less than 1%. ”
"Then Mr. Chen is still considering buying shares?"
"I just want to say that this is temporary, in fact, I think WPS is doing a good job, as long as you change the way of playing, change the packaging, and change the way of publicity, he can become popular. ”
This is Chen Yu's true words.
In Chen Yu's heart, he has always thought.
In fact, Kingsoft's core business is not a drug bully, not Xishanju, not e-commerce, but WPS.
Because only WPS can compete with Microsoft's Office.
And, WPS in the previous life managed to do just that.
In 2019, WPS accounted for 45% of the domestic market, which is a miracle.
If Chen Yu comes to operate, he will definitely be able to have a market share of more than 50%.
