283【WPS97 Launched】

Song Weiyang missed the final exam last semester again, and he missed the make-up exam again this semester.

After applying at the Department of Sociology, the School of Law, and the Academic Affairs Office, the school arranged an additional make-up examination for Song Weiyang. The question is slightly simpler, but it is not too simple, at least it can ensure that Song Weiyang can pass.

Not only are high math and statistics very poor, but even English is the same.

Song Weiyang studied professional English in his junior year, which was a compulsory course, and many words had to be memorized by rote. Basic English and professional English are simply two different languages, so foreign lawyers are popular, and ordinary people in Britain and the United States cannot understand professional judicial terminology at all.

After successfully scoring a lot of more than 60 points, Song Weiyang finally got out of the state of failing the course.

Xianghuitang.

Today, someone gave another speech, and the protagonist was Qiu Bojun, the boss of Jinshan Company.

Historically, the PS97 was released in beta at the end of 1996, followed by five or six more beta versions. It was not until September 1997 that the final version was finally launched - such a repeated toss and turn, because the company was short of funds, and could only take semi-finished products to the market to make money and provide valuable funds for subsequent development.

But now, after Song Weiyang closed the net on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, he sent two funds to Jinshan and Sohu respectively.

With sufficient logistical support, Kingsoft's programmers were enthusiastic, and they didn't have much rest during the Spring Festival, and the PS97 final version was developed half a year earlier than in history.

"Lao Qiu, congratulations!" Song Weiyang shook his hand and patted his shoulder.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, haha!" Qiu Bojun laughed happily.

Song Weiyang asked, "How is the PS97 selling?"

Qiu Bojun raised a finger: "In less than a month, more than 4,000 sets have been sold, ranking first in sales of similar software in China!"

"Well done," Song Weiyang said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to Xianghui Hall." ”

At present, China's largest software sales company, called Lianbang Software, has stores in various major cities. And Lei Jun's best friend, Jinshan's former director of the Beijing R&D Center, is the co-founder of Lianbang Software. As long as the PS97 is done well, there is no worry about no sales channels, only sales - two or three months at most, pirated versions will definitely come out.

Now, Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun are both personally engaged in sales, Lei Jun is responsible for running universities in the north, and Qiu Bojun is responsible for running universities in the south. As long as you can get these universities right, you can get big orders and make a name for yourself quickly.

Song Weiyang took Qiu Bojun to Xianghui Hall, but before he could enter, he was surrounded by students.

"Hello Mr. Qiu, I adore you very much!"

"Mr. Qiu, are you really writing PS on a hospital bed alone?"

"Mr. Qiu, I graduated this year, do you still lack programmers in Jinshan?"

“……”

Most of the people who came to listen to Qiu Bojun's speech were students from the Department of Computer Science at Fudan University. They even ignored Song Weiyang and focused all their attention on Qiu Bojun, because Qiu Bojun has a title: China's No. 1 Programmer.

The two teachers came over with a smile, squeezed into the crowd and said, "Students, let Mr. Qiu go in first, and there is time for communication." ”

Song Weiyang hurriedly introduced: "Lao Qiu, this is Director Shi of the Department of Computer Science of Fudan University, and this is Professor Zhang of the Department of Computer Science of Fudan University. Professor Zhang is also a big boss, you can cooperate with him a lot. ”

"Hello Director Shi!"

"Hello Professor Zhang!"

Qiu Bojun immediately stepped forward to shake hands.

Professor Zhang smiled and said, "You are the big boss, what kind of big boss am I?"

In the 90s, Shenghai City had a very big plan, that is, to build Shenghai into an information port, and at the same time set up two high-tech industry incubation bases next to Fudan and Jiaotong University.

The professor in front of me created a company last year, which belongs to Fudan University. The registered capital is 1 million, and two years later, the assets are close to 20 million, and they are all government projects. For example, Shenghai's power dispatching automation system and Shenghai's fire communication command system are all made by Professor Zhang's company.

It was completely relying on Song Weiyang's face that Professor Zhang was invited over, and Qiu Bojun took the opportunity to get in touch with Shenghai's high-tech industry incubator.

Song Weiyang plans to set up a computer company next year, and the address is in Shenghai, taking advantage of the construction plan of Shenghai Information Port, to frantically receive orders from the government, enterprises and universities. At the same time, it can also achieve software and hardware complementarity with Jinshan Company, relying on Shenghai and Xiangshan, and radiating to the entire southern market.

In the southern region, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no matter how hard the relationship between Mr. Liu is, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and everyone can have a relatively fair competition.

Qiu Bojun walked up to the podium in a tunic suit, and the students of the Fudan Computer Association came in with desks, chairs and two computers, and it took several plug-in boards to connect them.

At the beginning of the speech, Qiu Bojun smiled and said: "I don't know how to speak, everything is based on facts." The two computers around me, one with Microsoft's latest ord, and the other with Kingsoft's PS97. Interested students can raise their hands, and I will choose a few to come up and operate on the spot. ”

Hulala raised a large hand, and Qiu Bojun directly selected 20 students to come to the stage. Two students operated, and the rest watched from the side.

After more than ten minutes, Qiu Bojun stopped and asked, "How do you feel?"

One of the students replied, "PS97 is more convenient and faster to operate." ”

"PS97 is so easy to use, it's the most convenient office software I've ever touched. Another student laughed.

Qiu Bojun asked those students who watched the excitement to continue to operate, and he said: "See what I am wearing today?" d Chinese version, to put it on, it is a Zhongshan suit made for Chinese according to the American figure. The size is not right, d This software can't be said to be bad, but it was developed by Americans, and the habit of text editing is to use English input as the standard......"

As soon as Qiu Bojun came up, he caught ORD and was crazy, not brainless, but stating the facts.

Even when developing PS97, Kingsoft specifically focused on the places where it is inconvenient and unaccustomed for Chinese to use ord, and focused on optimizing these details.

Historically,PS97swept the Chinese office software market,Even cooperated with the military to launch a military version,97The full version is priced at 480 yuan a set,The family version is priced at 168 yuan a set,Microsoft actually started a price war,Set ord at 97 yuan a set,And come with a toy pen。 Even so, not many people are willing to use ord, because the PS97 is too suitable for Chinese operation.

It's a pity that there are too many pirated versions, and Kingsoft's fist product PS97 is far from making money from other small products of the company.

However, the real role of PS97 is to once again confirm Kingsoft's leading position in China's general software industry.

The sign is up!

Qiu Bojun continued to speak:

"Chinese, you should use Chinese's own software. We have our own culture, we have our own habits, and we can't say that everything abroad is good. You can't let all Chinese use knives and forks when eating, because many Chinese foods can only be picked up with chopsticks, and PS97 is the chopsticks of Chinese!"

"I'll give you a very simple example, ORD is very convenient when printing English manuscripts, but printing Chinese manuscripts is frequently incorrect. After typing the first page, the rest of the pages printed out by ORD were all misprinted, and the layout was messed up. If you can get it right once out of 10 times, you're lucky, and if you make a mistake, you have to retypeset, which is paper-intensive and time-consuming. This is the difference between the two countries, English and Chinese are different, and Microsoft simply doesn't know what Chinese users need...... What the Chinese use, only the Chinese can rest assured if they make it themselves, and what others give is not used!"

The example given by Qiu Bojun is true, but it is only partially true.

ord6.0 can still print Chinese manuscript perfectly, but the operation is particularly cumbersome, the computer must be switched back to the DOS system, and the spooling task needs to be cleared once...... This bug has been going on for three years, and Microsoft has never thought of fixing it, and Chinese customers will be able to use it anyway.

"Bang bang bang!"

The audience applauded.

In fact, Qiu Bojun's speech style is not good. The above content seems to be sensational, which can arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the listener, but it is a manuscript that has been written a long time ago. When Qiu Bojun said it, his tone was too calm, without the slightest hint of sensationalism.

But I can't stop the students from worshipping him, all of them are like fighting chicken blood, we Chinese finally make better software than Microsoft!

At the end of the speech, Director Shi of the Department of Computer Science personally came to the stage to operate and felt very satisfied. When he went back, he sent an application report to the school, and soon, all the computers in Fudan were replaced with genuine PS97s.

The next day, Song Weiyang accompanied Qiu Bojun to visit the Shenghai High-tech Industry Incubation Base, and by the way, he chose a piece of land for his future computer company.

The name of the company has been thought of, it is called "Shenzhou Technology Co., Ltd.", and the computer produced is of course called "Shenzhou Computer".
