Chapter 171: Commercial Espionage?

"Dear Mr. Taifler, this is the idea of the typography system we have designed, and of course, it will take some time for the idea to become a reality, and I think you will be happy to see this day come sooner."

Li Jian explained the word processing software and the next development concept in the newspaper office of the Times, and said goodbye to the editor-in-chief of the Times, Tafuller.

Last night, before Li Jian went to the local newspaper through the relationship between Redes, COMPOQ, and hph, a reporter affiliated to the Times newspaper came to the door, and they found an advanced tool that can be called a great help to the newspaper industry through the use of the word processing software they bought.

You can preview the page you want to publish on the computer, and you can see clearly whether the line spacing between the characters is the same, and if there is a temporary change, you only need to adjust the text, unlike the lighting typesetting, which is very troublesome to change once.

Therefore, they keenly found that since the Chinese company can develop this kind of small-size typesetting function, it must also be able to develop the typesetting function of a newspaper as large a paper, which is absolutely earth-shattering for the newspaper media industry, and it is even more shocking than the LS210 optical typesetting system released by the West German company last year.

As a result, an article titled "IBN is dying, and the blue giant will soon fall with a bang." Under the slight inducement of Li Jian, his personal comment appeared on the front page of the times, and the huge font was as eye-catching as the name of the blue giant.

At the invitation of the two reporters, Li Jian was willing to talk to the editor-in-chief, Tafuller, about the new generation of typesetting system he envisioned. It made the two reporters more excited, which was also a rare time for them to be able to talk directly to the editor-in-chief. Under normal circumstances, the interview script of an ordinary reporter only needs to be handed over to the director, and the report and grasp at the upper level are generally communicated by the director and the editor-in-chief.

Li Jian doesn't know much about the typesetting system, but he knows that a few decades later, there is a Founder software in China that is specially used for typesetting, and the soft and micro nest is in the nest. There is a software called Pagemaker that is a professional typesetting software, not to mention newspapers, even flowers can also be achieved through the operation of this software.

Just for now. Even the graphics operating system is so streamlined that it can't be streamlined, and if you want to use typesetting software, you have to wait at least a few years for the computer to really develop.

"Mr. Li Jian, I just heard from you. The implementation of this typesetting software. It was barely possible when a personal computer was at the level of a minicomputer, so why not let them do it on a minicomputer now? Or a mid-size computer? ”

Tyfuller looked at Li Jian with some eagerness, and his eyes revealed the persistence of a veteran media person, which made Li Jian realize that the person in front of him was not a customer who used personal computers, but the editor-in-chief of Time Newspaper and a giant in the news industry.

Tens of thousands of dollars for a minicomputer for the Times. It is a very common configuration, and you can buy a medium-sized machine at any time if you want it.

So. IF IT IS DEVELOPED, PAGEMAKER CAN BE SOLD TO THE TIMES FIRST.

Of course, the price will be more expensive, after all, it takes the hard work of many programmers to translate the software under the win system into the red shield system.

Li Jian didn't speak for a long time, and Tyfuller thought that Li Jian was worried about the price and sales, and stretched out his somewhat wrinkled hand,

"Mr. Li Jian, I know that my request is a bit difficult for you, after all, it is a waste of time to develop this kind of product for a customer alone, and the economic benefits cannot be guaranteed, I think so, if within a year, Qianghua can develop a typesetting software that can be applied on a small computer for the times, and can work on our printing press, then, the times can pay Qianghua three million US dollars, but the requirement is that within one year, Qianghua shall not sell this software to other customers."

"Three million? Half. ”

Li Jian didn't think about it, the same conditioned reflex began to bargain, this is already a habit he has developed recently, the conditions given by the times are already very good, after all, in this era, there are very few individual customers who can use small computers, and newspaper companies that can use small computers, even if they all use this software, Li Jian will not be able to earn three million, and a year is enough time for other companies to see the power of this software, which is equivalent to cultivating a lot of potential customers for Li Jian.

After speaking, Li Jian regretted it a little, but Tyfuller readily agreed,

"Okay, it's just half a year, half a year after the era can officially use this software."

Tafuller emphasized again, Li Jian shook hands with Tafuller with a smile and said goodbye, this old man, if he wears a big red robe, he is simply the God of Wealth.

After going back, Li Yuncong and Yan Liqiang will be busy, but they can earn three million US dollars, and Qianghua Laboratory will take the lion's share, at least two million, and then even if the project team fee is only 500,000 US dollars as a reward, these people are enough to become super little tyrants, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the RMB is still below four at this time, and from the official exchange channel, it is also two million yuan, a few people, a proper billionaire.

Coupled with the pre-sold word processing and form processing software, as well as the rest of the applications, I told Wang Wei, secretary of the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee Zhang Zhihua, that the time for Yan Liqiang to become a millionaire has been shortened from two years to half a year.

Fortuner promised Li Jian that he would follow up on the scientific and technological progress at the Paris exhibition as a series of reports, and the subtext is that as long as Qianghua Technology has any new achievements, it can be broadcast as the follow-up scientific and technological progress of the Paris exhibition, which is undesirable for any company.

The Times' influence is not only in Europe, but also in Europe and the United States, and most of the readers are white-collar workers and above the middle class, such as successful people like IBN's boss Rubiz.

Satisfied, Li Jian followed the two reporters back to the exhibition and looked at the time, 10:15 a.m. Paris time, that is, 6:15 p.m. Beijing time. Qi Cuiping should still be in the office.

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

Li Jian continuously called Qi Cuiping's office and Duan Tongshan's office, but no one answered.

I called home, but still no one answered. At present, foreign countries cannot call Chunjiang's pager, so Li Jian had to give up.

This time should be dinner time, maybe all these people will get together for dinner, and you can wait an hour or two before dialing it.

"Mr. Li Jian, Mr. Charlide, the marketing director of IBN, would like to discuss something with you."

Return to HPH's booth with doubts. The vice president of HPH told Li Jian, in fact, COMPOQ over there. I also received a notice from IBN, although it was an opponent, but IBN's shelf was relatively large, and it was a formal visit. It's not good for these two companies to want to hide. What's more, this will make Qianghua and Li Jian look at each other.

"The shelves are really big."

Li Jian snorted and came to negotiate with himself, to be precise, he came to ask for Qianghua, but he only gave a notice,

"Who's Charried, oh, let's see how business is going today."

Now that IBN has reacted. Li Jian was impatient at the beginning, and became not anxious at all. IBN has a move, this is the beginning of the offensive and defensive changes, and the initiative should be in the hands of Qianghua, not as soon as Charlid summons, Qianghua will meet it.

This shows that the Times report is still very useful, IBN's upper echelons should have set their sights on the Paris exhibition, if Charried has made no progress, he must be questioned by the upper echelons, even if he has found a good home, was fired by the company and took the initiative to change jobs, the impact on an executive is still somewhat there.

Moreover, judging from yesterday's sales heat, because there is no additional $200 for the operating system, and the price of a single set of software is not high, generally several sets of software together are less than the price of a set of operating systems, which has almost no impact on these customers.

Therefore, the more than 4,000 computers sold out on COMPOQ yesterday all required the installation of the Red Shield operating system and several other software produced by Qianghua, and the same situation was also played out in hph.

Now look at the enthusiasm of the crowd at the exhibition, today's sales should be more and more popular than yesterday, therefore, whether IBN's business can be negotiated or not, has not affected the development and growth of the software group of Qianghua Laboratory, the entire European and American markets, in the last two months of this year, will undergo substantial changes, although this change will not affect the data of the whole year, but it will also make IBN's annual report for the whole year look not so good.

In the eyes of professional financial analysts, IBN can use the word "dying".

"Oh, Mr. Li Jian, I didn't expect this exhibition to be so successful, you know, such an exhibition in the past, even if it is a personal computer overlord like Apple and IBN, it will generally not exceed the sales of 3,000 units in a single day, after all, this is an exhibition, not a hypermarket, the customers that can be received are still limited, and there is no group buying, you must know that group buying can be directly contacted by the company to obtain discounts, so, in the face of individual customers, we can still achieve such brilliant results, it can be described as a gold coin falling from the sky."

Seeing Li Jian's performance, the vice president of HPH also put Charried's matter aside with interest, Charlide is hanging, can you increase orders for HPH, can you expand the HPH market, can't, not only can't, but it is a competitive enemy, Li Jian ignores Charlide, which is what they are most happy to see.

"This is HPH to give customers enough satisfaction, I want to HPH and compoq professionalism, for customer service to the thoughtful, personal machine market at the same time, the market share of the two of you will be bigger and bigger, bring more and more profits to Qianghua, and hope that we will have more cooperation in the future."

Li Jian said politely, and then went to meet Yan Liqiang, and saw Zhou Lulu, who was the translator for them, sneakily coming out of the compoq booth, holding a small women's bag tightly in her hand, looking left and right as she walked, as if she was guarding against others.

"John, call one of your saleswomen, who doesn't show up much, and help me see where our translator is going?"

He waved his hand at John, who walked out of the COMPOQ exhibition hall, Li Jian asked him for help, Zhou Lulu's behavior seemed to be a little abnormal, Li Jian was disgusted with gold worshippers, and he didn't let Yan Liqiang leave their important software these days, but the exhibition will end tomorrow, maybe Yan Liqiang and they will be distracted, especially, a few ordinary games have caused a huge response, and the last game that Li Jian thinks is the most attractive has not been released, don't be secretly taken away by Zhou Lulu.
