547 [Forever Free]

Bill Gates had a full schedule of conferences, meetings with Chinese officials, academics and entrepreneurs, and then lectures at universities such as Shanghai Gates.

Even, the organizer specially organized a group project for him called "The Road to Developer Success". Bill Gates gave a speech, and many software companies, including Kingsoft, as well as professors from famous universities and college students, were invited to participate in the discussion or attend the meeting.

"The next decade will be the digital age. At that time, people will only need one email to communicate, and will not be disturbed by other calls and letters, or even abandon calls and letters altogether. Many young people don't know what a record is, and a decade from now will be asking, 'What is a CD and what is a VCD?' because all the film and TV content is digitized, and the computer will become as thin as a piece of paper, and people can take the computer with them and watch their favorite movies and TV anywhere. Nowadays, many people are afraid of computers, because they are too cumbersome to use, but in fact, there is no need to be afraid, the computers of the future can realize human-computer interaction through voice and handwriting......"

The listeners all felt very benefited and all of them were very excited.

Song Weiyang also predicted the future of digital life, but it sounded like a science fiction story. Bill Gates's speeches are obviously much more "down-to-earth" and are based on real-world technology.

It's just that Song Weiyang is a little confused, since Bill Gates firmly believes that in ten years, human communication can be achieved through voice, and computers will become as thin as paper. Now that video calling technology is available, why not use a computer as thin as paper and just make a video call? Not to say that in the future, people will be able to skip phone calls and letters and only contact by e-mail.

In fact, Bill Gates's view is very clear: the future computer is small, practical, and portable, and can be used for calls, work, shopping, watching videos, listening to music, and playing games...... This is already the equivalent of describing a smartphone. But he still has one string left to catch, always separating mobile phones from computers, and trusting email to dominate all forms of communication.

Song Weiyang did not join in the excitement because the topic of the group was in the software industry, and he was participating in another panel discussion (on the survival and development of enterprises after China's accession to the WTO).

While Song Weiyang was earnestly discussing the problem, Bill Gates was bragging and selling everywhere.

Except for upgrading Microsoft's Shenghai Software Research Institute from an Asian level to a world-class center, Bill Gates's other remarks are nonsense.

For example, Bill Gates announced that Microsoft will launch the Architect 2000 Advanced Software R&D Supervisor Training Program, which will work with 11 software development parks in China to train 2,000 software architects in China. When the news broke, the domestic media and college students cheered, likening it to an "MBA program in China's software industry".

As much nonsense as possible, more than half of the 11 software development parks in Bill Gates' mouth are the territory of the liar Song Ruhua. Microsoft didn't investigate the truth at all, Song Ruhua blew it so badly, he thought it was really powerful, and took those empty shell parks seriously.

"Mr. Song, you are working on the MBA program of Taurus Business School, and now Mr. Bill Gates is also going to do the MBA program in the software industry," a domestic reporter caught Song Weiyang for an interview, "Do you think Bill Gates can succeed? What impact does this have on China's software industry?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile as he walked out of the venue: "I hope Bill Gates can fail." ”

Every celebrity is followed by many reporters, and there are a few next to Song Weiyang. Hearing him say this, the reporters were very surprised, and one of them asked: "Why do you want Bill Gates to fail? This project has been reduced to 2,000 top software architects in China, which is a good thing to promote the great development of China's software industry." ”

"Do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?" Song Weiyang stopped and asked.

"Isn't it?" said the journalist.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Do you think Bill Gates is Bethune, selflessly dedicating himself to helping Chinese train 2,000 software architects? Not only China, but the global computer software industry has been semi-monopolized by Microsoft, and last year it received hundreds of millions of dollars in fines from the European Union. Microsoft's current mission to China is nothing more than bringing together China's most potential software talents, cultivating the top group of recruits, and leaving some second- and third-rate people to express their selflessness. In this way, Microsoft can control both the Chinese software market and the Chinese software talent, and we are sold and we are still helping to pay for it. At the same time, Microsoft can also use this cooperation plan to outsource many minor development projects, so that Chinese software talents can help Microsoft work at a low price. ”

The reporters were collectively stunned, and they all felt that Song Weiyang was reasonable, and at the same time they were very excited - Song Cannon fired at Bill Gates, and the headlines of tomorrow's science and technology page have fallen.

"Do you think Bill Gates's plan will succeed?" a reporter asked.

Song Weiyang said: "It doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, training 2,000 software architects is just a gimmick. It is to throw out Microsoft's loose work, let the domestic software parks help him do it at a low price, anyway, Microsoft will not suffer a loss in what it does, and how much the Chinese can learn depends on their own creation. If there are a few high-end ones, Microsoft will poach them with high salaries. ”

The reporter asked again: "Will Kingsoft choose to cooperate with Microsoft?"

"Never, Kingsoft and Microsoft are in competition. Song Weiyang was very sure.

Another reporter asked: "WPS once occupied 95% of China's market share, and after being defeated by Word, it won a game with WPS97 and regained more than 70% of the share." But why did WPS fail after WPS2000 and Word2000 were launched at the same time? ”

Song Weiyang smiled: "He refused to answer, so you came to ask me?"

The reporter smiled: "Mr. Song has always been straightforward, and we reporters like to deal with you very much." ”

Song Weiyang said: "WPS2000 was not defeated by Word2000, but by the piracy of Word2000. Microsoft's office software is pirated casually, and there is no danger of being reported, so those pirates are crazy about making Word2000 installation disks. 2000 yuan of genuine goods, 5 yuan a piece of casual buying, what do you think will happen? Even those who do assembly machines, don't install them for free for a penny. This is what I said to Bill Gates at the 'Forum of Eight' before, don't talk about any genuine issues in China. ”

The reporter asked: "Bill Gates said that this is the biggest takeaway from his trip, what will Microsoft do next?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Of course, we should let piracy go unattended and use piracy to cultivate the market." When the Chinese market is formalized, everyone is used to using Microsoft products, and Microsoft can lie down and make money. ”

"Why did you remind Bill Gates that he wasn't afraid that Jinshan would not turn over the day?" the reporter asked.

Song Weiyang said: "Because some time ago, I have discussed it with Mr. Qiu and Mr. Lei. Kingsoft will launch a WPS2000X to introduce network interaction functions, and the personal version will be free forever. In addition, Kingsoft Antivirus will also launch a personal version and an enterprise version, and the personal version of the antivirus software will also be free forever. ”

"Forever free, how does Jinshan make money?" the reporters were shocked.

Song Weiyang smiled silently and strode out of the venue.

For the average user, WPS2000 is actually more practical than Microsoft's OFFICE2000.

The first is that it opens up faster and doesn't require much from the computer, because WPS has less content - many old antique computers simply can't afford to OFFICE2000.

Secondly, the interface is more concise and convenient, and the details and functions are more comprehensive. For example WPS2000 there are vertical and right version of the typesetting selection, you can discharge chemical formulas, you can customize the formula format, you can enter Chinese phonetic transcription, euro symbol waiting, these functions are not available in Word2000.

The advantage of OFFECIE2000 is that it gives high-end users more choices, a very comprehensive range of office software types, and a network operation function - these contents, which are basically not used by ordinary users.

In general, WPS2000 has done everything in detail except for the networking operation, but unfortunately it has been defeated step by step by Microsoft's piracy.

So some time ago, Song Weiyang held a conference call with Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, and he strongly advocated that WPS and Jinshan Poison Tyrant's personal version be free forever. In any case, anyway, it is to seize the market, and don't care about it if you make money for the time being.

Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun disagreed, and Song Weiyang only threw out one sentence: "Broadband is about to become popular in China, and the network download speed is fast." When the time comes, don't talk about whether the genuine version can make money, those pirates will be unemployed, and users can download it directly on the Internet!"

It's easy to imagine that in the past, users had to buy either genuine or pirated CDs, and they had to pay for them anyway. And in the next few years, you only need to link to the broadband network, click the mouse to download, and you can install and use it without paying a penny, but don't pirates have to lose their jobs?

At that time, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun looked at each other, and after a private discussion, they agreed to Song Weiyang's permanent free plan.

When the personal version of Kingsoft Drug Boss is transformed into Kingsoft Security Guard, the cardinal leader will stop being a 360 security guard, and continue to be his 3721 honestly, or it is more appropriate to be the president of Yahoo China with peace of mind. By the way, 3271 has already announced itself as the first Chinese Internet company to achieve profitability this year, ahead of Tencent.

After Song Weiyang's interview was reported, it even overwhelmed Bill Gates in the industry, directly triggering a major earthquake in the software industry.

What should I do? Jinshan Poison Bully is going to be free forever!

This problem is like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of domestic antivirus software companies such as Ruixing and Jiangmin.

This is not a job grab, this is a special tablelift.

At the same time, because Song Weiyang directly exposed Bill Gates's plan, it instantly caused widespread heated discussions in the society, and the voices of Microsoft to monopolize China's software industry were everywhere, and many units did not dare to openly cooperate with Microsoft (private cooperation is certain). The leaders of many institutions and localities hate Song Weiyang so much, and they still want to make political achievements based on this.

Bill Gates was completely unaffected, and when asked by reporters, he flatly denied it, and still ran to hand in a speech.

Although this speech was scheduled to be held at the Shanghai Jiaotong Festival, not only college students from Fudan and Tongji came to listen to it, but even college students from Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Bashu traveled thousands of miles by train to see the style.

On the hand-in side, there are only two tickets for each class, and the points cannot be divided, and they are decided directly by drawing lots. Other universities in Shenghai also issued tickets, and at first they wanted to give them to outstanding students, but they could only be solved by lot. A ticket for Bill Gates's speech was directly sold to more than 300 yuan, and few were willing to sell it.

Dr. Ma gave a speech at the university, and I didn't see such a sensation, and there is still a big gap between the richest man in China and the richest man in the world.
