When he came to Lao Huang Restaurant, Li Yan asked Huang Xia to help find a clean private room, the three of them sat down, ordered food, and when waiting for the food to be served, Li Yan said to Qiu Bojun: "We have a small place here, so we can only do it like this, and I ask Mr. Qiu for your understanding." ”

"Brother said there, it's very good here, I think when I just resigned, it was far worse than this to eat instant noodles in a rental house alone, haha, and brother, don't always be Mr. Qiu Mr. Qiu's call, it seems to be outward, I call you brother, you also call me brother." Although Qiu Bojun is a southerner, he has the boldness of a northerner, and said to Li Yan with a smile.

"Okay, then I'm not welcome, I'll call you Brother Qiu in the future. Li Yan was a little proud of being able to call this first programmer in Huaxia in his previous life.

"Mr. Qiu, I don't know why you came all the way to find my brother?" Wang Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then asked.

"I came this time mainly because I received a letter the other day. Qiu Bojun said.

"A letter?" Wang Li wondered.

"Yes, a letter, was sent to me by my brother, it really opened my eyes, I thought I was the best programmer in this country, WPS has always been my pride, but I looked at my brother's software, I really feel ashamed, so far I am a little strange in the hardware conditions of the 386 computer, how the brother makes a software so beautiful, and the operation efficiency is so high. Qiu Bojun said.

Li Yan smiled and did not speak, in his previous life, he was doing research in computer graphics in his graduate school, and he once came into contact with a software written by a foreign cow with only a few K bytes, and such a small software can virtualize a three-dimensional animation effect that is difficult to achieve in large-scale three-dimensional games of a few gigabytes in later generations. When Li Yan saw this software, he was amazed by the software, so he tried his best to find a paper about this software by the author of this software from the Internet, and after nearly three months of study and research, he finally figured out the algorithm principle of this software. When Li Yan was designing the Taiji word processing system, in order to achieve the best user interface effect with limited hardware resources such as 386, he applied the algorithm he had worked at that time in the interface design of the software.

"My brother not only writes well in software, but also has a far-sighted vision, the desktop office you wrote for me, I printed out the article on the future battlefield before it came, I read it many times along the way, and the more I read it, the more I think my brother's words are thought-provoking. Qiu Bojun continued.

"That WPS is Mr. Qiu's work?" Wang Li asked in surprise, the last time she was at Shangyang's house, Li Yan mentioned to her that he made a software with the same function as WPS, after returning to school, she also asked other teachers about WPS software, teachers naturally understand computers, Wang Li clearly remembered that those teachers talked about WPS when they looked at the software author with a look of admiration, and now the author of WPS is in front of her, she can't help but be surprised.

"WPS is my work, but compared with my brother's Tai Chi writing, the gap is not small. Speaking of which, Qiu Bojun couldn't help but feel a little lost, WPS can be said to be like his child, he poured too much emotion into it, but there was a programmer in front of him who designed a word processing software that made him sigh at himself, and the most difficult thing for him to accept was that this magical programmer turned out to be a child who was still in junior high school.

At this moment, Huang Xia came into the private room with a large plate of donkey meat in sauce, put it on the dining table, and said a few polite words to the three of them before going out.

"Brother Qiu, come and try our specialty of Phoenix Township, Huang's sauce donkey meat, you can't eat it in other places, sister, you can eat it too." Li Yan put a piece of the sauce donkey meat on the plate to Qiu Bojun and Wang Li respectively.

"Okay, I'll try it, well, yes, it's delicious. Qiu Bojun picked up the donkey meat and put it in his mouth and slowly tasted it, admiring sincerely.

"Brother Qiu, I'm still a student, I can't drink, it's rare for you to come once, you can drink more. Li Yan picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a glass for Qiu Bojun, and then raised the teacup in his hand and said.

"Okay, brother, you're welcome. Qiu Bojun took a sip of his wine glass.

Huang Xiacai was made quickly, and it didn't take much effort for them to order the dishes they ordered, so the three of them chatted while eating.

"Brother Qiu, I don't know if you have any thoughts after reading my article?" asked Li Yan.

"To be honest, if it weren't for the software you gave me, I read your article and really felt that my brother was alarmist, WPS's influence in the country was not established at once, and of course he would not have collapsed at once. Qiu Bojun exuded a strong self-confidence at this time, which was obviously based on his sufficient confidence in his WPS software.

"However, after I looked at my brother's software, I had a sense of crisis, just like my brother said, Microsoft's rise is unstoppable, if we take it lightly and can't respond to Microsoft's expansion in the desktop office field in a timely manner, then we are likely to lose this piece of cake that belongs to us. Qiu Bojun said solemnly.

"Yes, when Microsoft's new system was developed, we didn't know anything about the system interface of the new system, and Microsoft could use this opportunity to get a head start on the market. If that happens, we will inevitably fall into passivity. Li Yan also said with a straight face.

"What do you think?" asked Qiu Bojun.

"I have two ideas: one is that we need to make better software, and try to make our software the de facto standard for desktop systems, so as to make it more difficult for Microsoft to step into this threshold in the future. The second is to kidnap the user's usage habits. ”

"The usage habits of kidnapping users?" Qiu Bojun frowned.

"Yes, the user is the foundation of the software, so when we make software, we must fully consider the user's experience, and on this basis, let the user develop a solid habit of use, which will become the most powerful weapon to block Microsoft's desktop office software from entering the Chinese market. ......" Li Yan talked eloquently, in his previous life, Microsoft used this trick to kidnap PC users all over the world to his chariot. Why Microsoft has been turning a blind eye to China's rampant piracy market, its purpose is to kidnap users' habits, when almost all PC users in a country are using Microsoft Windows and rely on Windows, their purpose is achieved. Although the Linux operating system of later generations is much better than Windows in all aspects, it has not made any achievements in the PC desktop market because of the effect of this powerful user habit.

As the conversation between the two deepened, Qiu Bojun's eyes became brighter and brighter, the purpose of this trip to the Central Plains was that he just wanted to see where Li Yan, who could make such excellent software, and at the same time, he also had the idea of whether he could dig Li Yan into his own WPS working group, but when he saw that Li Yan was still a middle school student, he felt that the possibility of digging Li Yan in the past was infinitely close to zero, but he didn't expect Li Yan to give himself such a surprise.

"Brother, I don't know what you're going to do with your Tai Chi word processing software?" asked Qiu Bojun.

"Brother Qiu doesn't know if you have any ideas?" Li Yan asked rhetorically.

"I don't know if this will work, I can buy out your software at once on behalf of Kingsoft, of course, including the technology used in this software. Qiu Bojun said.

"I wonder how much Brother Qiu can pay for this software?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yan's mouth, and he looked at Qiu Boju with some playfulness and asked.

"500,000, what, I know it may be less, but that's all I can do, after all, I'm also working for someone else. Qiu Bojun thought for a moment.

"Ah!" Wang Li, who had been in a state of observance, heard Qiu Bojun report such a large amount, and immediately called out, you must know that in the early nineties, an ordinary teacher's monthly salary was only more than 100 yuan, and at this time, 10,000 households were still rare.

"Brother Qiu, you know how much profit this software will generate once it is put on the market, and 500,000 yuan is just a fraction of his money. Li Yan's face did not change his color.

"Little man. Wang Li pulled Li Yan's hand and said, in her eyes, 500,000 is already an astronomical amount.

"It's okay sister, everything is up to me. Li Yan patted Wang Li's hand and said.

"Brother Qiu, I have a suggestion, how about I say it for your reference?" Li Yan said to Qiu Bojun.

"Brother, you say. Qiu Bojun said.

"Brother Qiu, do you think this will work, I will transfer the software to you for free, including all the technology and the naming rights of the software designed for this software. Li Yan threw out a big cake first.

"Then what do you want? Qiu Bojun knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and Li Yan must have his own purpose in doing so.

"I ask Kingsoft to give me a certain percentage of the profit share for every set of my software sold, what do you think, we will discuss the specific proportion. Li Yan said his true purpose.

"Brother, I really doubt that you are a junior high school student now. Qiu Bojun took a deep look at Li Yan, he didn't dare to see Li Yan as a child at all.

"Brother Qiu has won the award, I am really only sixteen years old, my sister can testify. Li Yan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Haha, but brother, I can't be the master of this, you know that I am now in Kingsoft Company is mainly responsible for WPS software development, I don't care about the market, but I can mention it to the head office after I go back, and it depends on the opinion of the head office whether I agree or not." Qiu Bojun said.

"I know this, everything is troublesome Brother Qiu, come, I will toast you. Li Yan raised the teacup and greeted Qiu Bojun, as long as he could impress Qiu Bojun, Li Yan knew that the matter was almost half.

After the wine and food were full, Qiu Bojun took the bus to Shangyang City, and before leaving, Qiu Bojun said that he would reply to Li Yan as soon as possible.

…………

"Little couple, just now Qiu Bojun promised to give you 500,000 yuan to buy out your software, why don't you agree, you are so sure that the sales share will be more than 500,000, that is 500,000, and the teacher's current salary is not so much for a lifetime!" Wang Li asked Li Yan suspiciously on the way back to school.

"Sister, don't worry, I have confidence in my software, and in the future, we will definitely get more than 500,000 sales shares, and 500,000 is just a fraction. Li Yan said with confidence.

"You are so confident, if you lose the soup, see how my sister cleans you up, it is 500,000, and you give it up. Wang Li said.

"Hehe, I promised to take care of my sister for the rest of her life, how can I do it if I don't make more money, sister, don't worry about the 500,000 anymore, and when your brother and I earn 5 million or 50 million in the future, you don't have to do anything, just spend money. Li Yan said.

"As long as you have this heart, my sister doesn't expect to spend your money, my sister also has a salary and can support herself, so you can keep your money for your little girlfriend to spend." Wang Li somehow suddenly remembered Lin Jing at this time, so she said a little sourly.

"Sister, are you jealous? Li Yan heard Wang Li's abnormality, so he smiled at Wang Li.

"Little lady, I'm your sister, how can I be jealous, what are you talking nonsense?" Wang Li blushed.

"Haha, it seems that my sister is really jealous, and you are blushing. Li Yan pointed at Wang Li and laughed.

"You kid, see if I don't clean you up!" Wang Li was said to be in her mind, and she was immediately embarrassed and threatened to beat Li Yan.

Li Yan saw Wang Li raise her fist to fight, so she ran away.

"Don't run, little man, stop me. Wang Li chased after her. The laughter of the siblings filled the way back to school.
