Chapter 501: Another way to promote WPS
(Read more)
So many companies have joined forces, and they are also well-known enterprises and universities in China.
Soon, the previous incident about word voyeuring users** immediately dissipated in Microsoft's wave of actions.
"It's disgusting, these universities, these companies, actually certify Microsoft, and there is still a little patriotism."
Qiu Bojun complained dissatisfied.
"Hehe, it's nothing, they are all Microsoft cooperative enterprises, just like our penguins, we want you Jinshan to help send a statement, can you help?"
"Of course. But Microsoft is different, Microsoft is a foreign company. Helping foreign companies deal with our domestic enterprises is too inauthentic. β
"What about foreign companies, in this world, every qiΔ is a turn of interests. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with these companies, and they didn't do anything wrong, right? Why do we have such a narrow national concept, I think it is better to develop products that satisfy users, which is the fundamental. If not, is it possible to cite a patriotic, the user will feel that this is a domestic product, and he will use it? No, no, don't say that users are not patriotic, and don't say that other people are not patriotic, it's not their fault, it's your product that's at fault. β
Zhang Ning seemed to feel that he was a little strict, "I'm sorry, I may have said it." In fact, we really don't blame these domestic universities and enterprises, they just did what they should do. What's more, word didn't have a peeping user in the first place, can't this give them certification? β
"No, Mr. Zhang, what you said is right, we were wrong before."
Qiu Bojun seemed to be woken up by Zhang Ning.
He felt that his mind was too limited before, and he had never been very open-minded.
Just like Jinshan Company, it has been developed for so many years since its establishment, why has it been tepid.
The key is that their mentality is not correct.
Every day, they shout the slogan of national software, hoping that domestic users will support national brands.
But the problem is that support is supported, but if your product has not been released, users will not be able to support you every day.
It's like a car, how many Chinese are buying domestic cars?
It's not that they are not patriotic, your own technology is so bad, do you really have to spend money in vain, which reflects their patriotism?
"Hehe, please general, it's nothing, we can only say that Microsoft has made a good move. However, we are not without opportunities now, at least, after this incident, our market share has gone up a little. Moreover, the fame of our WPS has also been hit. Although there are many users who have not used our WPS, at least, they have heard the name of our WPS, and they know what our WPS is, which is a very big improvement. β
If it is replaced by the previous one.
Don't say that the WPS function is not very good, even if the function is against the sky to kill the word, it is useless.
How is it useless?
It's also a question to ask, people haven't even heard your name, so it's strange that they will use your product.
"Indeed, Mr. Zhang, I can't believe that you really did it."
"It's not me, it's us, it's us who did it, it's not my strength alone."
"Hahaha, yes, it's us."
Qiu Bojun nodded heartily.
"However, now that Microsoft has joined forces with major universities in China, including some companies that cooperate with them, to certify their word, and their crisis has been resolved, what should we do next?"
"The next step may be a bit heavier, but there is a way to do it."
If it was before, Zhang Ning might not have a way.
However, after this incident, Zhang Ning has successfully torn open a hole in Word.
Although this gap is very small, and Microsoft wants to fix this gap back.
However, no matter what, the mouth is still preserved, even if it is repaired back, he is no longer the original whole.
Like, he turned out to be a monopoly, and after tearing open this opening, he has already represented that he can no longer monopolize.
Even if his market share is still very high, so high that it already seems to be in a monopoly position.
But now, the monopoly has lost his edge.
"What's the solution?"
"New Internet Users."
Although the number of new Internet users in China is no longer likely to increase several times in just one or two years, as it was in 2000. However, it is still only in 2002, and the number of Internet users in China is far from saturated, and a considerable number of people have not been exposed to the Internet. And they will still slowly enter the Internet in the future.
As long as these new netizens are competed for, then the future WPS, even if it is a hard-to-head competition with Microsoft, will be fearless.
"Well, haven't we been working on this piece all the time?"
"It's being done."
Zhang Ning nodded, "But what we're doing is only propaganda on the Internet, and this kind of publicity is not in place." We're offline, and we're going to have to do the same. β
"You're saying that we have to advertise in reality."
"Yes, but our advertising has to be played in a different way."
"Changing the way to fight?"
Qiu Bojun was full of curiosity, "How do you change the way to fight?" β
"Well, you'll know then."
Zhang Ning smiled mysteriously, at this moment, it was kept secret.
β¦β¦
A computer training school.
With the outbreak of the Internet in China, computers, computers, have increasingly become the focus of people's attention.
Even if many people don't know about computers, they also know that computers will increasingly affect people's lives.
At the same time, now the media reports from time to time, and now there is no paper and pen in the office, and all the computers have been changed.
This also makes many people feel that if they don't know anything about computers, they may be illiterate in the future.
As a result, countless large and small computer training institutions or some computer training schools soon appeared in China.
The content of the training of these computer training institutions is actually quite basic.
Five-stroke typing, basic operation of the operating system, plus operation of office software.
"Principal Zhang, your school has recruited more than 1,000 students in one semester, which is amazing."
"What's this, so-so, the main thing is that everyone is interested in computers now."
"Yes, computers are becoming more and more important, and many parents will spend a sum of money to let them learn computers after their children graduate from junior high school."
"Yes, there are too many parents who think that way now. No, I'm recruiting students who have just graduated from junior high school. β
"Oh, by the way, I would like to ask, Principal Zhang, do you teach them to use office software in computer training?"
"Of course it is taught, it must be taught. Otherwise, after they come here to learn, they won't even be able to operate an office software, and it would be embarrassing to say it. Although our training school is not big, we don't have the ability to teach programming. However, to teach these basic computer operations, we are too proficient. β
"Now that these students are starting to learn, they must teach the basics, whether the office software you teach is word."
"yes, not word or what?"
"Principal Zhang, haven't you ever thought about using WPS?"
"WPS."
Principal Zhang shook his head, "I don't have this plan for the time being." β
"What's the matter, Principal Zhang, the latest version of WPS is too powerful, why don't you teach. Moreover, the operation of WPS is also simpler than that of Word, and I am sure that as soon as students learn WPS, they will definitely learn it as soon as they learn it, which is much more effective than Word. β
"Well, I said so, but I don't know the bottom of my heart. Now some of the students we train, although the computer knowledge taught is not particularly professional. But it's easy to get out and be a clerk or something. Now the companies outside are all using Word, and if they don't know how to use Word when they go out, it will be difficult to do. β
"Don't worry, Principal Zhang, the text of WPS can also be read, and the people who are in the same phase are connected. Even if you don't know how to use word after graduation, it's fine, anyway, you can use WPS. β
"Still no, if something goes wrong, what can I do?"
"Then let's do it, Principal Zhang, you can do me a favor, as long as your school is willing to teach WPS to students, then we will subsidize 50 yuan for each of your students' living expenses."
"$50 per student, really?"
Principal Zhang was suddenly interested.
50 yuan per student, more than 1,000 students, that is 50,000 yuan.
Their computer training school is originally a short-term training, and the training cost is not much.
The more than 50,000 yuan that was sent for nothing was very tempting.
"Of course it's true, but as long as you only teach WPS, you can't teach students Word."
"Okay, no problem, like you said, anyway, WPS can read the number jΓΉ in Word, both are connected, and it's not impossible to teach students WPS. Oh yes, I haven't asked you yet? Are you from Penguin? β
"Of course not, I'm from Penguin Company, as for who I am, Principal Zhang, I'm sorry, I can't tell you this for the time being. However, I can give you a deposit of 10,000 yuan in advance. β
"Hahaha, that's embarrassing."
Principal Zhang snorted, pretending to be embarrassed, but soon, he accepted 10,000 yuan.
On the side of the computer training school, there are also computer specialty stores.
"Brother, how are you selling computers lately?"
"No, I can't."
"No, buddy, the computer is so hot now, why can't it be sold."
"This computer is very popular, but the problem is that there are too many people selling computers now, you see our computer city, just selling computers, there are hundreds, no matter how many people come here to buy computers, this point will not sell a few."
"That's right."
"By the way, brother, have you ever thought of a way to make extra money?"
"How to make extra money? Hey, you're not going to tell me to do anything illegal, I'm not going to do it. β
"Hey, buddy, what do you say, how could I tell you to do something illegal. I just want to ask you something, when you sell computers, don't you install the operating system and some software for users? β
"yes, what's going on."
"It's nothing, I just want you to help install the WPS when you install the major software for users."
"Oh, it turns out that you want to promote WPS, say it earlier, how much is a share."
"Damn, that's direct. I like it, though. β
"2 yuan a piece."
"So little."
"Brother, where is the less, think about it, this is extra money, you can install one for 2 yuan a day, and 30 for a month, then there will be 60 yuan. If you install 60 units a month, it is equivalent to an extra 100 yuan bonus every month. β
"That's right, deal."
