For the IT industry in Huaxia, they see more of the concepts and technological innovations put forward by Taiji Software through this software. Taiji Software has put forward the concept of desktop office overall solution in the world, and Taiji desktop office system is the world's first office software with full graphical interface......

"Computer News" and "Computer World" and other major domestic IT industry newspapers and periodicals are in the Tai Chi desktop office system before the launch, the system has carried out a long report and detailed evaluation, in the summary of these evaluations, they without exception gave the Tai Chi desktop office system a very high evaluation.

"The Pride of the Chinese National Software Industry" was the headline on the front page of the Computer Newspaper on the eve of the Taiji Software Launch.

"The leader of the world's desktop office system, the leader of the de facto standard. This is the evaluation of the Tai Chi desktop office system by Computer World.

In addition to the reports of many IT newspapers and periodicals on the Tai Chi desktop office system, some domestic scientific research institutions, universities and computer experts who have participated in the public test have also written technical analysis or comments on the Tai Chi desktop office system.

"In the overall environment of Huaxia software industry lagging behind the world's advanced level, the emergence of Taiji desktop office system is of great significance to the entire Huaxia software industry, the emergence of the system has injected a boost into the entire Huaxia software industry, we can foresee that under the leadership of Taiji Software Company, Huaxia software industry will catch up with the software industry in the near future, especially in Europe and the United States......" This is an excerpt from a commentary chapter written by Tan Haoqiang, a famous computer educator in China, after participating in the public test of the Tai Chi desktop office system.

For ordinary computer users, they do not care about the technical analysis and comments on the Tai Chi desktop office in various computer newspapers and periodicals, they are more concerned about whether this software can bring them higher work efficiency, and from the early Qiu "Bo" Jun's PS to the later Tai Chi characters, and then to the current Tai Chi desktop office system, the same lineage undoubtedly gives ordinary users a strong psychological hint, with a popular sentence in later generations to say: "Qiu "Bo" Army products, must be "fine" products. ”

Of course, Tai Chi desktop office software will not disappoint them, because after the team's "fine" carving, the Tai Chi desktop office system interface is more "fine" and beautiful, the functions are more practical, and it is more in line with the user's habits.

Compared with the domestic praise and expectation of the voice, Tai Chi Software's choice of the first stop of overseas cloth in the United States is another scenario, some American IT journals and companies have used the "wolf" after a detailed evaluation of the international version of the Tai Chi desktop office system** Cai's vocabulary expressed general concern about the menacing software produced in the ancient eastern countries, of course, this concern is not for the market prospects of the Tai Chi desktop office system, but for their market share under the impact of the Tai Chi desktop office software.

Especially when New Year's Day is approaching, the gossip that Microsoft's attempt to acquire the Taiji desktop office system for $30 million has been widely circulated in Silicon Valley, adding fuel to the fire. As a result, some negative reports about Tai Chi software appeared in some newspapers and periodicals in the United States, and these reports tried to infinitely amplify the shortcomings of the Tai Chi desktop office system exposed in the public test, and achieved the purpose of "confusing" ordinary users' audio-visual information.

When Lei Jun couldn't withstand the pressure and fed back some of the situation in the United States to Li Yan by email, Li Yan replied to him with a five-character poem from Jin Yong's Heaven and Dragon Slayer: "He is strong, he is strong, the breeze blows the hills, he is cross, and the bright moon shines on the river." ”

In any case, the Tai Chi desktop office system has not yet been officially released in the United States to become famous, in the United States, a country that advertises freedom, ordinary computer users do not care whether this software is produced in the United States or in China, they are not much different from ordinary computer users in China, because they are also concerned about whether this software that claims to be able to provide complete desktop office solutions can greatly improve their work efficiency.

Therefore, when the Taiji Software Conference was officially held, whether it was the simplified version market in China, the traditional version market with Hong Kong as the heart, or the British version market with the United States as the heart, it could be described as a high-profile market.

When the Zhuhai Fair, the Hong Kong Fair, and the U.S. Fair, it was announced that the prices of the simplified Chinese version, the traditional Chinese version, and the British version were 199 yuan, 199 Hong Kong dollars, At the beginning of the decade, computers have not become ordinary commodities into thousands of households, and the price of computer software is often thousands of dollars, an excellent office software that claims to be able to provide users with complete office solutions released such a price, in the eyes of ordinary people and no difference between giving away, you must know that the price of the predecessor of the Taiji desktop office system is as high as 22oo yuan, and the retail price is even higher than the outrageous, such a price actually hinders the popularity of Taiji words in ordinary users.

So the ordinary computer users in China are crazy, they run to tell each other, meet Taiji Software in various cities designated software sales points to buy, but they are depressed, when they queue for a long time when it is their turn to pay for the purchase, but they are told that the software copy has been bought, but they are a little relieved that almost every designated sales point of the software provides software reservation services for users queuing up to buy, as long as they register their contact information at the point of sale, when the next batch of goods arrives, they will get the right of first refusal。

This is the work that Li Yan told Qiu "Bo" Jun to do before the software was deployed, because he knew that although these scattered software buyers are still very weak compared to those large customers who buy in batches, in the near future, when computers become an ordinary electrical appliance and enter thousands of households, these retail customers will be their largest consumer group, and what he wants to do now is to train such a potential consumer group to become loyal users of Tai Chi Software in the 10s, when computers were not yet popular. At the same time, in this era when pirated software has not yet formed an industry, it is necessary to use a low price that is almost free of charge and extremely advanced anti-piracy technology to wipe out the infancy of the pirated software industry chain that will cause a devastating blow to the Chinese national software industry in the future.

When Li Yan proposed such a very low price as the Taiji desktop office system, Qiu "Bo" Jun and Zhang Xuanlong were opposed, and in order to persuade Qiu "Bo" Jun and Zhang Xuanlong, Li Yan was Qiu "Bo" Jun wrote an analysis report on the future of China's software industry with a total number of more than 10,000 words, in which he pointed out that in the future, the main body of software consumers will inevitably change from large customer groups to ordinary consumer groups, and at the same time pointed out that the economic affordability of such a consumer group is limited, and if Taiji Software adheres to the high-priced software sales strategy, it will inevitably create a hotbed for the development and growth of China's infant piracy industry chain At the end of the report, he pointed out that for the sustainable exhibition of Taiji Software in the next 20 years, and for the healthy exhibition of the entire Huaxia software industry in the next 20 years, how about we being the first person to eat crabs, maybe we will fail, but if we succeed, Taiji Software will write a strong stroke in the history of the exhibition of Huaxia software industry. In short, Qiu Bojun and Zhang Xuanlong were finally persuaded by Li Yan.

However, the actual situation did not drop sharply because of the low price of the software, as Qiu Bo and Zhang Xuanlong feared, on the contrary, on the first day of the official sale of the software, the sales situation in various places was frequent, and in the evening, the data aggregated showed that the number of copies of retail sales in various places in one day had exceeded the total number of copies sold in Taijizi, and such sales did not include the sales of the British version of the American company.

Although they knew that with the decrease in the popularity of software sales, such sales results would soon fall, but this was an open door after all, so when Qiu Bo Jun got the sales data of the day, he couldn't wait to call Li Yan to share the good news, but the phone was called several times, but no one answered, and the phone was turned off when he called again, probably because he was out of power.

What is Li Yan doing at this time?

…………

On the night of New Year's Day in 93, the weather was cold, but the fat girl's round face was red, and the little hand held tightly in her hand by Li Yan was also hot, just like her current mood.

Yesterday, her gunshot wounds were all healed, and for the sake of safety, the doctor still let her stay in the hospital for observation for a day, and it was not until New Year's Day that she was discharged with the help of Pojun.

The night before yesterday, after the fat girl's injury stabilized, Li Yan asked Ma Zhuoyang about the reason for the fat girl's injury, but Ma Zhuoyang refused on the grounds of state secrets, but he promised Li Yan that he would personally take action to catch the person who hurt his "daughter" and avenge the "girl".

Ma Zhuoyang's guarantee of personal action left Li Yan speechless, although he very much hoped that he could personally catch the murderer who hurt the fat girl, and then avenge the fat girl with the most cruel punishment, but he knew that after he refused Ma Zhuoyang's invitation to join the Flying Eagle Organization, he lost the qualification to act with them.

Of course, Ma Zhuoyang's shot is more reliable than his shot in every aspect, regardless of experience or skill, the difference between Li Yan and Ma Zhuoyang is very big, if Ma Zhuoyang can't do it, Li Yan thinks that he can't make a move.

So one day on New Year's Day in 1993, he only did one thing, that is, to accompany the fat girl to go shopping, because Li Yan and Ma Zhuoyang came in a hurry on the night of the 3o, his phone was left in Shangyang, which is the reason why Qiu Bo's army couldn't get through to him.

"Li Yan, do you think my dress looks good?" The fat girl was wearing a long gray "color" and "wool" coat, and asked in a circle in front of Li Yan.

"Good looking. Li Yan sat on a small stool in the clothing store and said weakly, after a day of shopping with the fat girl, he felt that he was exhausted.

"Hmph, there's no sincerity, forget it, let's go. The fat girl pursed her mouth and snorted, a little dissatisfied with Li Yan's perfunctory, but she also knew that he was really tired after letting Li Yan follow her for a day, so she took off the "sweater" coat on her body and pulled Li Yan's hand and walked out of the store.

"Li Yan!" a familiar voice came to the soul when Li Yan and the fat girl just walked out of the store.

Li Yan turned his head to see that a young "girl" wearing a white "color" down jacket and a young "girl" wearing a red "color" down jacket stood hand in hand on the side of the street and looked at him with a surprised face, it turned out to be Lin Jing and Lin Dan sisters.
