Chapter 156: Robbing Pirates for Profits

"WPS has always been the signature of our Kingsoft company, although in the past year, the market share has declined sharply. But the WPS department, from the beginning to the present, has been the most important department of our Jinshan. ”

Qiu Bojun didn't explain what the WPS did, and he didn't want to explain either. Although the WPS department still exists, there are some employees who may have to be sent to the online game development department and the antivirus software department in the near future. This is a bit helpless for Jinshan, but it can also be regarded as a strategic shift. In this way, it is to show the attitude towards WPS to the outside world.

"Hehe, please boss, I'll just say it."

It seems that if he doesn't ask Bojun to make things clear, he won't be able to penetrate anything.

"I don't know if you want to know, recently our Tang Dynasty company set up a subsidiary of Tang Dynasty Venture Capital."

"I've heard a little."

"The investment target of our Tang Dynasty Venture Capital is tentatively set as the Internet high-tech industry at home and abroad. We think your company's WPS is good, and we came to your company today to invest in the WPS department. I don't know if your company has this intention. ”

Although Qiu Bojun has been talking just now, he is also a person who knows the general situation. For the direction of the company, better than anyone else. Now that Chen Jiayi directly explained his intentions, he must have asked Bojun to consider it carefully.

"Tang Dynasty Ventures is here for WPS?"

Originally, Qiu Bojun thought that Chen Jiayi was here for their online game department. After all, Tang Dynasty Network also acquired Tianxia Studio. It is not impossible to acquire Xishanju again. It's just that I didn't expect that after Chen Jiayi explained his intentions, it was just for WPS? It stands to reason that it is not impossible to invest in WPS. However, Tang Dynasty Ventures came in just after the WPS defeat. YOU KNOW, NOW THE WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE IS ON THE WORLD, BUT MICROSOFT OFFICE IS THE WORLD. Even Kingsoft is not very confident that it will be able to beat Microsoft and regain the word processing software market again.

"Not bad."

Chen Jiayi replied affirmatively to Qiu Bojun.

"It's just that I have a question, and I don't really understand."

Chen Jia smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, full of kindness, and said, "Excuse me." ”

In his mind, it was normal to ask Bojun to have a problem.

Because the smarter ones won't invest in the WPS department, why did Tang Dynasty Venture Capital go the opposite way and go straight to WPS?

In fact, the situation of WPS in the past year, I think Mr. Chen also knows. Moreover, the word processing software market is now dominated by Microsoft. Although our WPS department was established at the earliest, we also have a lot of experience. However, compared with European and American countries, it is still a few percent behind, which inverts the failure of WPS. I don't know why Tang Dynasty Ventures took a fancy to our WPS. ”

Could it be that the establishment of this Tang Dynasty venture capital is that the Tang Dynasty company has too much money and no place to huā, which is obviously not.

If not, Qiu Bojun thought of another possibility. That is the Tang Dynasty venture capital on the pretext of investing in WPS, trying to control Jinshan. This is not impossible, judging from the intention of the current Tang Dynasty venture capital, this possibility is still relatively large. After all, no one would throw money into a word processing software that doesn't see any hope. In addition to word processing software, Kingsoft's antivirus software and his games are also a resounding signboard.

"Actually, if it were me, I would have asked the same question."

At this time, Chen Jiayi stood up.

"Speaking of which, the earliest software service company in China should be Kingsoft. And your company's WPS has always been the pride of national software. There is also the initiative of one person to provoke the national beam. However, until now, especially after China's accession to the WTO, high-tech products from Europe and the United States have begun to pour into China, causing many national software to go out of business one after another. As a native Chinese, I am also full of emotion when I see the national software fall to such a point. ”

Chen Jiayi paused and looked at Qiu Bojun, "Before establishing the Tang Dynasty Company, I also wanted to directly develop national software. Ethnic software like WPS is what I have always wanted to develop. It's just that then I looked at the market and decided that it wouldn't work. If I had been working on these software, I might have invested my money and not seen any results. So, I opened Tang Dynasty Information and Tang Dynasty Network, and with the development of the Internet, I wanted to raise some funds first. Now it's not bad, Tang Dynasty Company may be lucky, or it may be due to the market, and has made some achievements. That's how I came to your company. I would like to work closely with your WPS department. I hope that in this cooperation, we can develop a national software ...... that is not inferior to foreign companies in any aspect", Chen Jiayi said sonorously and forcefully, and no one else can believe it. When it comes to excitement, Chen Jiayi will also lù the kind of angry and patriotic god sè. When Qiu Bojun saw this, he seemed to see a hot-blooded young man. Then, he looked at Chen Jiayi in front of him. I thought of my previous self again, and at that time, there was also a person who said to him, national software, you can't be missing.

Qiu Bojun typed the code day and night and developed WPS.

"Mr. Chen's patriotic feelings are admirable."

Until here, from a personal point of view, Qiu Bojun had dispelled the idea of doubting Chen Jiayi just now. I was also very moved by Chen Jiayi's passionate feelings. It's just that the recent failure of WPS has made Qiu Bojun a little disheartened. The WPS, which Kingsoft worked so hard to develop, was actually abandoned by the market. This mood, no matter who it is, can't accept it.

"It's just that I don't know if your company has a good plan. SOLVE THE OFFICE THAT IS PRESSED IN FRONT OF WPS. ”

THE BIGGEST OPPONENT OF WPS IS MICROSOFT'S OFFICE.

BASICALLY, MOST OF THE USERS NOWADAYS USE THE WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE AND USE OFFICE.

Although many people use pirated copies, he has covered his products all over China. From this point of view, China's piracy has indeed made a great contribution to the promotion of Microsoft. Those friends who can buy a pirated disc for ten yuan will think of the WPS developed by Kingsoft.

Originally, Kingsoft also wanted to allow piracy and fight with Microsoft. Later, Jin Shan found out that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake.

Microsoft has a big business, and he has a global vision. OFFICE IS USED TO LET EVERYONE PIRATE, EVEN IF THEY DON'T CHARGE A PENNY, BUT THEY OCCUPY THE MARKET, WHICH IS ALREADY CONSIDERED A SUCCESS. In the future, after you use your habits, I will collect your money again, and you can also earn it back. However, for Jinshan, piracy has brought them a different picture. They found that if piracy was left unchecked, WPS was spread and used by many people.

However, everyone is free to use, how can Kingsoft Company survive.

For Kingsoft, after WPS piracy, there is no source of income. Microsoft can hold on, but for a xiǎo software company, it's a fatal blow because they can't. If the software can't be sold, it means that the company has no revenue. If the company has no income, employees cannot afford to pay their salaries. If employees can't be paid, who still develops WPS? We can't let them go hungry, just for the sake of the word national software, and keep supporting it.

After all, people who develop software also have to live.

Just like the survival state of later generations of online writers, in fact, watching piracy is a great harm to writers. It's just that there are many friends who watch piracy and think that they have watched pirated copies and promoted them to the authors. Unfortunately, they didn't know that maybe they played a role in promotion, but when piracy was spreading, the author was already starving to death.

Faced with Microsoft's mentality of using Chinese piracy, he successfully defeated Kingsoft and successfully seized the domestic word processing software market. And Jinshan can only be helpless, watching its market share become smaller and smaller. Recently, Kingsoft is preparing to transfer some of the programmers of WPS to Kingsoft Poison Tyrant, as well as the online game of Xishanju.

It can be said that Kingsoft Company hated piracy.

It's a pity that it's useless to hate it. This phenomenon can't even be solved by the state, don't say that he xiǎoxiǎo's golden mountain.

Fortunately, Jinshan has recently changed direction, and if we go all out to develop WPS, I am afraid that a big Jinshan will be ruined.

"I don't know if there is any good advice."

Seeing Qiu Bojun ask this key question, Chen Jia was overjoyed, and it seemed that his moving and enthusiastic remarks just now were not in vain. At the very least, Qiu Bojun is already interested now.

"Mr. Chen laughed, if Jinshan had it, I'm afraid WPS would not have fallen to such a point."

"We have a suggestion."

Before Chen Jia came, he had already thought of a strategy. Otherwise, no matter how much money he has, he won't dare to spend it like this with Microsoft.

"Low price."

When it comes to low prices, the anti-terrorism jīng ying of the Tang Dynasty network is a prime example. In fact, the anti-terrorist Jīng Ying of the Tang Dynasty network. It also relied on the low price and achieved a good result. Moreover, the low price is also a very beneficial help to occupy the market.

"The low-price strategy, we have also considered before, but in the face of Microsoft's free, we don't seem to have any advantage."

"This, I may not have considered it, in fact, Microsoft's free, there is also a cost. For example, pirated CDs, now in China, cost at least 10 yuan a piece. IN OTHER WORDS, THE PRICE OF OFFICE PIRACY IS AT LEAST 10 YUAN, WHY CAN'T WE SET THE PRICE OF GENUINE COPIES AT 12 YUAN? ”

At this time, Chen Jiayi threw out a very huge proposal to create xìng.

"Genuine 12 pieces."

"Yes, it's 12 genuine pieces."

Chen Jiayi's idea, on the one hand, comes from low prices. On the other hand, it is also a piracy strategy from Hong Kong film companies. Because Chen Jiayi found that many pirated movie CDs were actually produced by the film company itself. In other words, in fact, only pirated CDs are sold, and a large part of the profits exist.

In the final analysis, Chen Jiayi's strategy is to rob pirates of profits. And if the pirate does not make a profit, it is natural that he will not pirate. They are not going to sit idle, to do piracy that has no interest in themselves.
