Zhang Shaojie smiled: "What Mr. Huang said is right! I'm also optimistic about the future of this software, so I'm ready to invest 500,000 yuan to open a company and sell this software! Shaohuai Technology participated in the shares and allocated 40% of the shares. I invest cash in a 30% stake. Mr. Huang, if you are willing to give in and become the technical director of the company, you can be given 10% of the shares. Sister Yanfang and Sister Aifang also have 5%! The remaining 10% will be reserved for equity incentives for outstanding talents in the future, what do you think of my suggestions? ”

"Start a software company?" Anita Mui suddenly felt that she couldn't keep up with Zhang Shaojie's train of thought.

Shaohuai was also stunned and said: "Brother, it only took me a few days to write nonsense about this program, and there are more than 100 lines of code, which is not worth the money." Those well-known software have tens of thousands of lines of code, hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Besides, how can you invest in the establishment of a company, but let me be the major shareholder, or you own 40% of the shares, I account for 30%"

Huang Tingjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise to join the company and become a technical director." However, I am only part-time, and I usually have some teaching tasks at HKU! On the one hand, Huang Tingjun felt that this software might have a future in the future, but he was afraid that he would see the wrong market, so before the company had a prominent presence in the software industry, he was only willing to work part-time rather than give up his position as a professor at HKU.

Under Zhang Shaojie's ideas and suggestions, a rudimentary software company, "Computer Manuscript Technology Co., Ltd." began to show its rudimentary form.

For the "computer manuscript paper" software, Zhang Shaojie is full of confidence in it. Zhang Shaojie is ready to first race against time to register all the technical patents contained in this software.

Not only the patent of the registered software itself, but also the registration of some upgrade functions in the future, even if the software is not available now!

Because, soon after the launch of the DOS system in the 80s, Microsoft began to develop ORD! If the patent registration is late, many advanced patented technologies may be mastered by Microsoft, and the development of the company will be controlled by others!

The patents that Zhang Shaojie is preparing to register include most of the functions of the future ORD, and even the interface of the official launch of the product in the future will also imitate the ORD!

From the beginning, in Zhang Shaojie's eyes, the biggest competitor was Microsoft.

In view of the fact that the early Microsoft company was a copycat king who plagiarized everywhere, as long as Microsoft dared to copy the concept of "computer manuscript paper", Zhang Shaojie would immediately sue him!

The lesson of the software industry is that if the original creator does not pay attention to maintaining his patent rights, it will immediately trigger thousands of plagiarists, and there will often be some anti-heaven existence among these plagiarists, trampling the original creator under their feet!

For example, in the early 90s, Netscape invented the browser, which was plagiarized by Microsoft, and the early Microsoft IE browser, and even the source code were similar to Netscape Browser. Because, Microsoft came up with a bundling strategy - Indos bundled Internet Explorer, quickly swept the market, and killed Netscape Browser cleanly!

The originator of the global instant messaging software is Israel's ICQ software, but ICQ has not been able to make a profit since its inception, but has been worried about the cost of the server every year, and ICQ was acquired by AOL as a free service that is not profitable. The plagiarist ICQ's QQ is against the sky, not only has 500 million registered users worldwide, but also has become the most profitable Internet giant in China.

During the winter holidays.

Zhang Shaojie entrusted a law firm with high efficiency and registered "computer manuscript paper" into more than 10 patents. These patents mainly cover the concepts of ORD, Excel, PoerPoint and other software in Microsoft's Office software.

What, you say that the "computer manuscript paper" function is worse than the "txt" format document?

, it's only temporary!

When we signed up, we already had future features in mind! Whoever wants to plagiarize, the consequences are at their own risk, and we will sue your family for ruining and separating your wife

In these years, the timid are afraid of the bold, the bold are afraid of the ruthless, the ruthless are afraid of the stunned, and the stunned are afraid of dying! We are desperate rights defenders, and in order to maintain legitimate patent rights, whoever infringes will fight with whomever we want

With such a ferocious attitude, the officials of the patent office were also afraid, and it would take at least 3 months to register an international patent for software, but because of Zhang Shaojie's cruelty, the entire international patent agency seemed to have a premonition.

In just two weeks, the newly published monthly patent index for the month of January 1981 was already available for "computer manuscript paper" patents.

In the international patent index, after finding the patent of "computer manuscript paper", Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but smile happily. Will this work?

In the future, Microsoft's money-making weapon, Office, will be killed, not only ORD, but also Excel and Poerpoint, which only exist in the conception, can be successfully registered.

I have to say that the technical officials of the patent office, at most, are just a formality, and they don't realize what a huge benefit Zhang Shaojie's registered patent will be!

No one can realize how huge the personal computer market will be in the future, and no one can predict the future of office people, start paperless office, office software will become a regular company office, essential office software.

In the era of paperless office, it was Microsoft's office that monopolized 80% of the global office software market!

In China's late 80s and early 90s, domestic PS office software was one of the fist products that the software industry could handle. In the DOS era, the PS produced by Kingsoft can also occupy 9% of the domestic office software market, which can be called the myth of the domestic software industry.

But then Microsoft played the strategy of bundling software such as Indos and ORD, and Kingsoft's PS lost most of the market for a long time because it was not compatible with the Indos system. Although Kingsoft angrily sued Microsoft for unfair competition, by the time Indos was restored to be compatible with PS, Kingsoft's market share had been reduced to 30%. For a long time, PS has lost the right to speak in the office software industry and can only rely on political axe purchase orders to maintain.

Until the Internet era, because of the profitability of the online game business, coupled with the procurement and subsidy of the political axe, Kingsoft simply adopted the ordinary version of the free version and the enterprise customized version of the technical service fee, and launched the free version of the PS software.

After the implementation of the free strategy, PS has 50 million users in the Chinese market again, and it has overwhelmed Microsoft Office in the Chinese market again!

In fact, the significance of Kingsoft's PS free is to force Microsoft Office from a few hundred dollars in pricing all the way down to dozens of dollars, and finally even launch a free trial version.

"Brother, isn't it just a program with more than 100 lines of code? Is it necessary to be so nervous? Shaohuai still didn't realize the gold of the program he wrote!

Zhang Shaojie slapped his head and said, "My little stupid brother! In the future, microcomputers will become more and more popular, and more and more enterprises will need to use this kind of paperless office software. Computer manuscript software is the beginning. Wait until other excel spreadsheet software and poerpoint presentation software come out! Finance, statistics, corporate meetings, all major fields will be inseparable from our software. At that time, this software alone was enough to become a giant in the software industry! ”

"Can there be a world publishing company to make money?" Shaohuai said curiously.

Tianxia Publishing Company, in Shaohuai's eyes, is undoubtedly a great existence. At this time, the monthly operating income of Tianxia Publishing has reached 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and the profit is 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. The number of employees in Tianxia Publishing Company is only 60. After contacting Ma Rongcheng for a period of time, Shaohuai began to admire Ma Rongcheng.

Of course, because Zhang Shaojie's majestic figure is far taller than Ma Rongcheng.

Therefore, at this time, Ma Rongcheng belonged to the second idol worship in Shaohuai's psychology.

"More than 100 times greater than the future of the world's publishing!" Zhang Shaojie said softly, "In the future, including Tianxia Publishing, Longteng Brokerage, Baolong Film and other companies will rely on the interests of computer manuscript companies to obtain better development prospects!" ”

"Brother, then I'll learn more knowledge, write better programs, and make more money for you!" Shaohuai said excitedly.

Young people have no ambitions for careers. In Shaohuai's view, even if he earns $1 billion, it is not as exciting as his brother's praise.

Of course, the computer manuscript paper software is still too rough!

After applying for a patent with Shaohuai's program code, the newly established computer manuscript paper company, led by Professor Huang Tingjun, a group of computer science students from the University of Hong Kong, began to make an urgent assault to improve the function of the program!

Mr. Huang Tingjun took more than 10 programmers to rewrite 20,000 lines of the program in a week, and the computer manuscript paper software has been greatly sublimated.

At the beginning of February, "Computer Manuscript Paper 1.0" applied for an international patent again.

The "Computer Manuscript Paper 1.0" version is also a version that is ready for sale. Now that the computer industry is changing with each passing day, a good product, if it is not put on the market in the morning, may soon be seized by the opponent.

Therefore, Zhang Shaojie couldn't wait to further improve the "computer manuscript paper" software, and was ready to contact a floppy disk burning factory to burn the software to the floppy disk and sell it. In '72, IBM invented the floppy disk drive, as well as the floppy disk that could be used commercially. For a long time, floppy disks were an important carrier for computer information storage. Even in the 90s, floppy disk drives were still one of the important pieces of hardware for computers. It wasn't until the late 90s that lower-cost optical discs took the place of floppy disks.

But these days, a 5.25-inch floppy disk alone costs more than $50. Therefore, in recent years, most software companies have directly promoted software to large companies such as Apple Computer and IBM, and authorized large companies to pre-install software according to customer needs. There are not many software that sell software directly in the mall.

Therefore, Zhang Shaojie is ready to send people to the United States to sell software to large companies and bundle sales.

Huang Tingjun was sent to North America to sell to some personal computer companies in Silicon Valley. Zhang Shaojie allocated 100,000 yuan as Huang Tingjun's marketing funds in North America

"You're not afraid that I'll run away with a huge amount of money?" Huang Tingjun smiled.

Zhang Shaojie pretended to be fierce: "If you dare to escape, you will be wanted with a reward all over the world." ”

Huang Tingjun gave him a blank look and boarded the plane to California
