Chapter 496: Bill's Troubles

"Mr. Qiu, how is it, how do you feel about this mold defense I said?"

Zhang Ning asked with a smile.

"Oh my God, Mr. Zhang, how did you come up with such an innovation, what kind of model defense is this, even if Microsoft sees it, it is estimated that such a setting will have to be copied."

Qiu Bojun was shocked in his heart.

Although speaking of which, there are still traces of anti-modeling, after all, many of the settings, some functions, are plagiarized from Microsoft's word. However, when they completely change the navigation bar to another way, the whole office operation is completely changed. Moreover, with the use of a new shortcut navigation button, he is more practical and simple than the original pop-up button.

What's even more commendable is that the setting in the new navigation bar mode perfectly conforms to the logical thinking ability of human beings.

Under the introduction of shortcuts in pictures and text, it is also very easy for novices to grasp.

It's simply an innovation like no other.

"I believe that as long as we make such innovations, we will not be afraid even in the face of words."

At this moment, Qiu Bojun seemed quite confident.

Similarly, Zhang Ning knows the value of innovation more than Qiu Bojun.

In fact, the innovation of the new navigation bar this time is the innovation of the 2007 version of the word in later generations.

The 2007 version has a feature, that is, the 2007 version fully inherits the advantages of the original word versions, and the 2007 version also makes a great upgrade to the original version. Among them, the upgrade of the navigation bar is the biggest one. He changed from the original drop-down pop-up box type of word to the current shortcut type.

Undoubtedly, such an update is an upgrade from the original operation, and because the whole system is connected again. Even, even if it is not in the same vein, but the simple and clear shortcut key settings can still be easily mastered by novices. After all, these shortcut keys are all pasted on it, and when you operate, you can just glance at it casually, and some commonly used function buttons will be found.

"I'm going to tell the team to upgrade our WPS with all our might."

"Okay, the sooner you make it, the better, we're going to catch Microsoft off guard again."

"Fight again?"

Qiu Bojun just wanted to ask, where is there anything to fight again.

Then I thought of Zhang Ning, no, it was not the first time that Zhang Ning fought with Microsoft.

"Don't worry, such a good innovation, even if I don't eat or sleep, I have to write such a function."

"Hehe, forget it if you don't eat or sleep, just write the program normally."

Obviously, Zhang Ning's persuasion had no effect.

For a bull like Qiu Bojun who writes 100,000 lines of code alone, no amount of words will have any effect.

Watching Qiu Bojun leave, Zhang Ning put his mind on how to compete with Microsoft.

Undoubtedly, a new version of WPS is about to be launched, and in the future, they Penguin will have to compete with Microsoft again.

For office software, Zhang Ning seems to attach great importance to it.

Not only because Zhang Ning wants to see China have its own set of office software, but more importantly, Zhang Ning knows that in fact, the profit of office software is not at all better than the profit of the operating system. According to Microsoft's financial statements in 2001, Microsoft's office software profits in 2001 reached $10 billion, accounting for one-third of Microsoft's total profits.

10 billion, and it's still dollars.

What a concept this is.

Even if Zhang Ning is a penguin himself, he can already make money quickly, but compared to 10 billion US dollars, it is far from it.

No wonder others say that even if money falls on the ground, Bill won't pick it up.

Thinking about the time he had bent down to pick up the money, he had already exceeded the denomination of the dollar he had picked up.

However, office software is not so easy to do, and like his operating system, Word also has a global monopoly.

It's just that, compared to the entire operating system, word is undoubtedly simpler than the operating system, and this is where Zhang Ning can shake Microsoft so far. It's just that it's not an easy task to compete with Word. After all, he had already monopolized before, and it was quite difficult to break this monopoly.

Fortunately, in Zhang Ning's plan, he had already thought of some strategies.

Although this strategy is indeed quite shameless, if it has an effect, it is more shameless, Zhang Ning is also willing.

……

"Mr. Bill, you have so much time to invite me to coffee."

In a café in North America, Microsoft CEO Bill made a rare appointment with Simeone.

Simeone is the Global CEO of Microsoft Word, responsible for Microsoft's global office software business.

At the same time, Simeone is also the number one general in the world of word's monopoly.

When Word was defeated by Apple and Puni, Simeone was already in charge of Word.

In the end, Word monopolized the world by relying on the graphical interface and the operation that Bill has been promoting to make it easier for users.

"Hehe, Simeone, it looks like we haven't had coffee together in a long time."

"yes, I think about it, it's been a long time."

Simeone has been in Microsoft for a long time, and after Microsoft monopolized the world, both Bill and Simeone gradually became busy, and the time between the two was getting less and less.

"I still remember the time when we didn't succeed at Microsoft. Although, at that moment, we had a lot of pressure, we had one rival after another, Apple, IBM, including Puni, the giant of office software at that time. It was a wonderful time, we stayed together every day. ”

"Yes, at that time, we have been working hard and desperately opening the market. Thankfully, we succeeded. ”

One is the CEO of the company, the other is the head of the department, and both have common memories, which makes the two very topical.

"Oh yes, are there any problems with the office software business you've been in charge of lately?"

"Of course not."

Simeone shook his head directly, "If there's a problem, it's that I can't believe the profitability of our office software. You know, when we made this office software, it was actually for our operating system. We want our office software to be tied to the operating system and take our WinWindWos to the world. It's just that I didn't expect that after a few years, our office software business can achieve so much profitability. ”

"Simeone, I didn't expect that. Recently, though, I seem to have seen a company on the Chinese side partnering with another company announcing its foray into the office software business. You know, the Chinese market has been strong lately. I expect our profitability in the Asia-Pacific region to grow rapidly with the rise of the Internet in China. ”

"Mr. Bill, how do you pay attention to China, China's potential is huge, their population base is terrifying, but there is more piracy on China's side. In fact, we are not very profitable on the Chinese side. Fortunately, the Chinese government has recently increased its procurement of office software, and I heard that the Chinese government wants to promote paperless office. ”

"It's just that piracy is a big threat."

Bill couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Back then, I had no objection to China pirating our operating system, including all the software of our operating system. I think this is a great benefit for us to open up the Chinese market. Although, now we have done it, we have successfully opened up the Chinese market, but ...... It seems that we may also be challenged by other companies because of our indulgence in piracy in China. ”

Although some time has passed, Bill is still deeply worried about the penguins threatening them with piracy at the time.

What worries Bill even more is that he discovers that the guy who threatened him with piracy before is here again.

ps: Sad, I have gastroenteritis, I was still on a drip in the People's Hospital in the afternoon, and I rushed to catch a chapter immediately when I came back, brothers, look at Xiaobai so desperately, the guaranteed monthly ticket in November, isn't it, all voted over.
