Chapter 497: Word leaks user information

(Read more)

"Simeone, I hope you will pay attention to the fact that Penguin has been very close to a gold mountain company recently. This company, I'm sure you know. Back then, their WPS couldn't even resist our Word. I always feel that the alliance between Penguin and Kingsoft is very bad for us. ”

Originally, this little thing didn't need to be watched by Bill.

However, the other party is Zhang Ning, so let's talk about it separately.

"Mr. Bill, you're talking about Zhang Ning of Penguin."

Bill suffered a small loss in the Penguin Company, although there was no expression in the media, but in the entire industry, it caused a big stir. It is hard for people to believe that Microsoft, which has always been invincible and has been conquering the market, has actually lost in the Chinese market. Although, it was only one of Microsoft's not particularly important products - MSN - that was defeated.

"Yes, Zhang Ning of Penguin is a monster, and his genius is even stronger than Jobs."

"Better than Jobs?"

Simeone said strangely, "Mr. Bill, I think you think you value that Zhang Ning too much. Steve Jobs was a madman in the industry, and although their current Apple watch was not very good, everyone recognized his greatness. As for that Zhang Ning, I also think he is a little smart. But, that's just a little cleverness. Mr. Bill, don't worry, I have a view of the situation on the Chinese side. Penguin teamed up with Kingsoft, but if it was Kingsoft in the past few years, perhaps, their WPS could still compete with us. But now, their WPS, doesn't have any advantage. ”

"Anyway, you better be careful and watch their actions more."

"OK, no problem. Mr. Bill, let's have another drink. ”

Simeone said so, but for the Chinese market, for penguins, Simeone has long been out of his mind.

He fought with Microsoft in the north and south, conquered the world, how could he be willing to watch Zhang Ning, who could not be the climate.

He also didn't understand why a character like Bill would focus on some small characters.

In his mind, Bill should have set his sights on IBM, Intel, Apple...... These giants are right.

……

"Mr. Zhang, our program is almost halfway completed."

A few days later, Qiu Bojun revealed to Zhang Ning the progress of the latest WPS.

"You're crazy, aren't you?"

It's only been a few days, and the entire update is half complete.

"Don't be crazy now, we're afraid we won't have a chance in the future."

Qiu Bojun smiled, and halfway through the conversation, he hurriedly said, "No, there is something to find me over there, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Okay, okay, you're busy."

Seeing Qiu Bojun's crazy appearance, Zhang Ning smiled helplessly.

As the CEO of Kingsoft, Qiu Bojun is actually like a programmer, standing on the front line of the industry every day.

Although this seems to be hands-on and hard-working, how to reasonably arrange the overall situation of the whole company on the front line every day?

However, Zhang Ning didn't say anything, Qiu Bojun is such a character, and it is difficult for you to change.

"The WPS mission is halfway completed, and it seems that it is time to implement my plan."

The most difficult thing about WPS is not his technology, but his promotion.

If there is no word in this world, with the current technology of WPS, once the product is on the market, it will definitely be popular.

But the problem is that now there is not only office software exactly the same as WPS in China, but also he has completed the monopoly.

Not to mention that WPS has been inferior to Word before, even if it is good in all aspects, it is difficult to enter the market all at once.

Moreover, since Word has completed the monopoly, the launch of WPS can only snatch the original Word users.

This is a very difficult task.

After someone else installs it on the computer, he will no longer want to install other office software.

Even if there is software that is more powerful than Word, it is impossible for them to convert it all at once.

This also means that there must be an opportunity for WPS to be introduced to the market, and he cannot launch it at will.

To launch, you have to find a reason for users to change Word, and then WPS is launched in order to attract the market.

The reason for this can be that Word is not very powerful, or that Word is complicated to operate, or that there is a more powerful software coming out...... However, as mentioned earlier, these reasons are not sufficient, not to mention, the current word function is powerful enough, and the operation is not particularly complicated, and users will not want to replace it at all. Or, even if it is sufficient, the user will not necessarily replace it. The stickiness brought about by monopoly cannot be replaced in a short period of time.

However, Zhang Ning, who is familiar with a series of business fights in later generations, has long thought of it for users in advance.

Even if you don't change it, I have a way to make you change it.

"Qingqing, tell those studios to get started."

"Wait, Xiao Ning, don't be so fast?"

Chen Qingqing said with some worry.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you want to compete with Microsoft again?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps, if we do this, we will make our penguins have no way out, and in the future, we will be Microsoft's mortal enemies."

"I know that we have been their mortal enemies for a long time."

"But there's a point of moderation, and if you get involved in the office software market, you're moving Microsoft's core business. Previously, Microsoft could not care about us, but office software was different. ”

"I know that too. It's just that if we don't move Microsoft, Microsoft may also move me in the future. Moreover, we are now challenging Microsoft's office software business, and perhaps spurring other companies that compete with Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft is not so difficult to deal with, even if they have a monopoly, as long as they find the right direction, they also have the ability to compete with them. ”

"Xiao Ning, I can't tell you, I'll arrange for them."

Chen Qingqing wanted to say something more, but in the end he had to take it back.

"Don't worry, Qingqing, we are going to become the storage of supergiants, and in the future, many years later, looking back, you will find that, in fact, Microsoft is just a small company."

……

Li Yan is a clerk in the office.

As a clerk, Li Yan needs to make a lot of forms and reports.

Almost every day, Li Yan has to deal with office software.

Speaking of office software, Li Yan first came into contact with domestic WPS. At that time, she knew something, WPS is domestic software, it seems to be pretty good. However, in recent years, Li Yan has never used WPS. As for why it didn't work, even Li Yan didn't know. It seems that many people think that office software only has Word, where is there any WPS.

Today, Li Yan, who has been making the form for a day, finally finished her work and opened IE, Li Yan plans to read the news and rest.

It's another boring day, and there's no news today.

Hey, what's going on with this news?

Suddenly, on the Sina Technology Channel, Li Yan saw a news about Word.

The news used a very exaggerated headline: Cyberbullying Word leaks user information.

According to the news, Chen is a Word user, and he usually uses Word to make documents and forms. These days, he doesn't know why, but he found that the document he had been editing actually appeared on some forum website. At first, he thought that something might be wrong. Later, however, he found that every time he operated, documents were often uploaded to the Internet. Although the information in these documents is not particularly important, I am still unhappy that my own information has been leaked......

The source of the news is a netizen.

As a result, countless people who had similar situations with this netizen posted on the Internet.

Yes, that's the case for me.

Yes, yes, I often have such situations when I go out, I used to think it was an accident, and Wen Jiàn didn't have anything important, just let him. Unexpectedly, everyone is the same. This evil word, I hope Microsoft will give an explanation.

I'm still a genuine word user, and although there have been no leaks, I feel as if everything is being monitored by Microsoft when we are making documents. Especially that automatic update, he can connect our word to the Internet, and who knows, he is stealing our information when he connects our word to the Internet.

Some users who have been tricked are constantly swiping the screen.

And those onlookers who didn't know the truth broke out in a cold sweat when they saw the news.

Damn, no, even word will leak information, can you still use word in the future?

Don't lie to me, I'm in finance, and if our documents are leaked, it's going to be the end of the rhythm.

Mom, I think it's better to uninstall word, this software is too dangerous.

Resolutely do not pretend to be word.

The more Li Yan looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she often had to use Word.

Before this, she never thought that this kind of document and the like would also be leaked.

However, after reading the analysis of some netizens, she felt that this was possible.

Just like that netizen said, Word can now be connected to the Internet, he can update automatically, and even download or upload various templates. In the midst of this, any mistake will inevitably pose a threat to their documentation.

If it really leaks out, then her job will come to an end.

Similarly, there are many netizens who have the same experience as Li Yan.

Many users feel scared for a while, who doesn't use office software?

Even if you don't use it ordinarily, you will use it occasionally.

Well, now the question arises.

When the news of word leaking user information comes out, word, do you use it or not?

Of course, some people said that they couldn't help it, even if they knew that the information would be leaked, they had to use Word.

After all, the only office software is Word, and the others can't be used.

There are also some old webworms who say it's time to go back to WPS. Although they feel that the function of WPS is average, the operation is somewhat complicated, and it is a little different from Word. However, WPS is domestic software after all, and there is no function of leaking data.

At the same time, major portals also attach great importance to the news.

Office software has spread to every computer, although most of them are filled with pirated Word. However, their features are no different from the genuine ones. Of course, the problem now is not this, the main thing is that if Word really may leak user information, then this is definitely the largest Chinese Internet crisis in history, and it is also a Chinese information security crisis.
