Monday, October 12.

News Building.

Lin Zuhui inspected various departments, and his mood was still very good.

Newspapers and magazines have been at their peak in recent years, and even Ming Pao Group's annual profit is 150 million, and Wanhui Media's paper media department is as high as 250 million yuan.

Of course, the most profitable department is the 'manga division', with an annual profit of more than 400 million yuan, and this is because it has been investing more. The original 'Hong Kong-style comics' annual profit of the comics department was about 150 million, and overseas contributed nearly half; The 'Japanese comic department', which has developed in the past two years, has grown strongly, and the three major signatures "Slam Dunk", "Detective Conan", and "Pokemon" have driven the growth of the entire department and even the entire Xiangjiang Comics.

Back in the office, Long Jingchang followed in to report work.

"Boss, the acquisition of Activision has been negotiated, and the 70% equity agreement price is $4.5 million."

Lin Zuhui heard this, and did not have mood fluctuations, as a game fan in his previous life, he had no good impression of Activision, and in everyone's opinion, Activision's acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment was worried about affecting the quality of Blizzard Entertainment's works.

It is because of the attention and warnings of gaming fans around the world that Activision has been promoting Blizzard Entertainment as the company's only independent division.

In this life, Lin Zuhui took advantage of the fact that this industry had not yet taken off, and acquired Activision and Blizzard Entertainment together. The main reason is that Activision is a game developer, publisher, distributor, while Blizzard Entertainment is just a humble micro-game development company.

"Well, don't interfere with their business, just supervise the finances. Before Blizzard Entertainment develops new products, the two companies can complement each other's resources. ”

Long Jingchang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a moment to introduce the presidents of the two companies to each other!" ”

As the president of Wanhui Media, Long Jingchang's skills over the years are no longer limited to the ability of a newspaper, and he has quite strong management ability and vision. He is convinced of the layout of his boss, so he has been recharging himself while working over the years to be competent for this position.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "We invested in Activision and Blizzard Entertainment, do you know what the purpose is? ”

Long Jingchang hurriedly said: "I know, the most important thing is to base on two companies and step into the field of video games. When the time comes, we want to set up a game development company in Hong Kong. Therefore, we are also looking for a game development company in the United States recently, and we plan to make an acquisition with Blizzard Entertainment to strengthen the game development strength and cultivate talents, so that they can be transferred to work in Hong Kong in the future. ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and agreed with this statement.

In his idea, Wanhui Media's game department will have to be set up in the second half of next year, and then carry out the 'casual' research and development stage; until 1994, it will be able to enter the research and development of "Legend", and strive to release the first "online game" in the real sense in early 1997, and take the lead in implementing a monthly subscription system (there is free time in the early stage).

It can definitely be an instant hit!

His goal is to copy the game industry of sticks, and the market naturally relies on the mainland market.

Then, Lin Zuhui said to Long Jingchang: "This time I went to the mainland and found that the mainland has developed very well in computer software, especially a company called Hong Kong Kingsoft, which has developed WPS that occupies more than 90% of the word processing market in the mainland. You go and inquire about the situation, and then report back to me, and I'm going to get the company into the software space. ”

Long Jingchang had to admire the boss's whimsical ideas, and he had just decided to enter the game field, and immediately took a fancy to the software field. It is no wonder that although the boss is the largest real estate developer in Xiangjiang, he gives the impression to the citizens that he is an all-round entrepreneur.

"Okay, I'll get the information about this company as soon as possible!"

"Well, especially pay attention to a talent named Qiu Bojun. Talent is the most important thing in software. ”

"Okay, I'll be sure to inquire about it."

After Long Jingchang left, Lin Zuhui couldn't help laughing.

He is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, and begging Bojun is second, and he cares about Rebus.

Of course, he doesn't care about Rebus the most, what he cares about is the strength of Huaxia Software.

He knows the importance of WPS, this software can be said to be in the same camp as Microsoft's Word, but in the previous life, it was defeated by Microsoft's Word in 1995; Although, after 2010, it regained the important position of office software, but in fact, it is because Word is too expensive.

And he also knows that the biggest reason why WPS failed in 1995 was to develop Pangu software, which wasted the best opportunity.

In the final analysis, it was because Rebus did not realize that the computer system Windows would completely replace the DOS system, and WPS and Pangu Software were office software developed based on the DOS system.

Of course, Lin Zuhui didn't intend to let Rebus and Qiu Bojun work for himself completely, after all, others would definitely not work all the time; Moreover, Lin Zuhui also needs to support the spokesperson of the mainland.

Therefore, he plans to cooperate with the two as an investor.

Of course, this investor has to have a considerable say.

At the same time, he can cultivate a game agency and talent training base, why not!

........

A week later, Lin Zuhui came to the capital.

In a high-end hotel, he and Long Jingchang entertained Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, and did not invite Zhang Xuanlong of Hong Kong Jinshan Company.

Zhang Xuanlong is the son of Zhang Kaiqing, the founder of Hong Kong Jinshan Company, father and son are actually mainlanders, Zhang Kaiqing came to Hong Kong in 1973 to establish Hong Kong Jinshan Company, and later Zhang Xuanlong succeeded his father in 1980. In the early days, the company was mainly engaged in the assembly and sales of IBMPC-compatible machines, and to put it bluntly, it was an agency company dispatched to Hong Kong from the mainland to obtain Western technology products.

Qiu Bojun is a software genius, and the WPS software he developed currently occupies 99% of the computers in the mainland, with an annual sales volume of 30,000 sets and sales of 66 million yuan.

However, all this has nothing to do with the greatest hero Qiu Bojun. Of course, if you talk about money at the beginning, Qiu Bojun may not have today's achievements.

The two were suddenly invited to dinner, and they were a little nervous, which is very consistent with the image of engineering students. If it weren't for Lin Zuhui being the richest man in China, they would also be more curious, and they might not have been invited.

Lin Zuhui introduced himself: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Zuhui, and I am a Xiangjiang businessman, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Qiu Bojun said: "Of course I have heard that Mr. Lin is a representative of the patriotic merchants of Xiangjiang in the mainland, and we have heard of your name for a long time. My name is Qiu Bojun and I am a software developer. ”

Rebus hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, I am Rebus, and I am also a software developer. ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, this is the CEO of my company, you should have seen it." Let's sit down and eat! ”

During the banquet, Lin Zuhui was not in a hurry to say his thoughts, but just chatted with two celebrities in his previous life about the domestic software market. Speaking of this, Qiu Bojun and Rebus seemed to be a lot more cheerful and talked a little.

When the time was ripe, Lin Zuhui turned around and said: "Two, in fact, in my opinion, WPS is already in a very dangerous situation!" ”

Everyone was stunned, thinking that you still know software?

Qiu Bojun said modestly: "What does Mr. Lin mean that your company has also developed better office software?" ”

Lin Zuhui shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not, our company is preparing to invest in this business, but we haven't started to get involved." I mean, Windows will replace DOS, and your WPS is based on it; Not only that, but Microsoft has set its sights on the mainland market, and soon you will have a strong opponent. This opponent has thousands of talents, and their software is improving every day, and you only have a dozen talents, how can you fight! ”

The engineering student also has a temper, and the two have some unconvinced expressions.

Qiu Bojun said: "Mr. Lin may have his own opinions on this industry, but our WPS will also improve, and we will not be easily defeated." ”

Lin Zuhui continued: "Once defeated, there is no possibility for you to turn over. And Microsoft has lost and can make a comeback. This is hard power, although the two are technical masters, are the Americans very poor? ”

Speaking of which, the two have finally calmed down, and Microsoft is definitely a respectable opponent.

Or Qiu Bojun asked: "How does Mr. Lin know that Microsoft will replace IBM's DOS system?" ”

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "I am a businessman, from the analysis of the market value of Microsoft's stock, Microsoft's market value has been growing by more than 20% every year in recent years, and their current market value has reached 26 billion US dollars. It can be said that in the future this company will have a monopoly on all computer systems in the world. With the strength of thousands of R&D personnel, no company can rival it. Of course, they will not be satisfied with the monopoly on the system, and they will also have a monopoly on the software. Therefore, they have actually set their sights on the mainland market. ”

At this point, Qiu Bojun and Rebus were finally moved, and they also realized a certain danger.

However, Qiu Bojun was the first to react and asked, "What does Mr. Lin mean by discussing these issues with us?" ”

Lin Zuhui motioned to Long Jingchang to say, the next question.

Long Jingchang took over the topic with a smile and said, "That's it! After investigation, I found that WPS sales in the mainland are so high, with an annual turnover of 66 million, but Mr. Qiu Bojun, as a developer, does not get much money. ”

Qiu Bojun hurriedly said: "At the beginning of development, I neither negotiated commissions with the company, nor did I negotiate shares with the company, nothing. It was the owner who gave me a little bonus. ”

Long Jingchang immediately said: "Don't you two want to be your own boss?" ”

Qiu Bojun and Rebston were shocked, and now they understand that they have met investors.

"Jinshan Company is very good to us, we have not thought of doing it alone!"

Lin Zuhui immediately said with a smile: "The mainland is also deepening reform now, and even state-owned enterprises are considering restructuring, and there are still those concerns." You are technicians, not managers, entrepreneurship is the best way, you can realize the dream of Huaxia Software and win glory for the country! In this way, you will not disappoint your talents. Besides, please Bojun for your contribution to Jinshan Company, do you feel indebted? ”

Qiu Bojun shook his head and said, "Naturally, I don't owe it!" ”

Lin Zuhui smiled and continued to signal Long Jingchang to say.

In terms of demagogy, he is naturally a master, and he can reach the height of the country and the nation at every turn.

Long Jingchang immediately said: "That's the case, we want to support the two of you to acquire the software division of Kingsoft Company and then start a business." We can support you in assembling a software team of hundreds of people to continue developing WPS. But we have one condition, and that is that we must rely on PS. ”

At this time, Rebus, who had not spoken, said: "I am also optimistic about the development of office software for the Windows system, and I have even thought of the name, which is called Pangu." ”

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "That's not good, it has to be called WPS, in the computer field, Chinese people only recognize English, this is a fact that we have to admit." ”

At this time, Lin Zuhui was suddenly stunned, could it be that the Pangu software in his previous life was also developed based on the Windows system?

In this way, isn't it still impossible to win word?

But he soon realized that he was not the chief engineer of Word and WPS?

He can't write code, but he can lay out, what functions, what layout, what is so difficult for him to use office software for a long time!

As long as the programmer writes the code, it's all right!

Rebus smiled wryly, I don't know why, he felt that what Lin Zuhui said was very reasonable, Pangu was indeed not as loud as WPS.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "If the two of you are interested in starting a business, we can reach an agreement today. We contracted the cost of acquiring Kingsoft and injected 10 million R&D funds, and we can continue to inject capital in the future. We gathered the best software engineers in China and fought a good battle with Microsoft to boost the morale of the Chinese people. ”

As soon as a few inspiring words were said, engineering men like Qiu Bojun and Rebus had long been unable to touch the north, and nodded one after another.

"I'm willing to cooperate!"

"I'm willing to cooperate!"

They didn't even ask about the shares, because they didn't know how much they wanted?

Of course, Lin Zuhui will naturally not be stingy, because he knows that being rich is not everything, he is both a Hong Kong investor and a layman.

So, he said, "Since the two of you have agreed, then we will start working together." No matter how much the purchase price of Jinshan Company, we will give you 30% of the shares, and you can still enjoy high wages. In addition, Mr. Qiu Bojun is the general manager, Mr. Rebus is the chief engineer and project leader, and our company only needs to send a few management officers to serve as assistants, and everything is mainly based on the two of you. ”

How can there be such a good thing in the world, if it weren't for Lin Zuhui's reputation, the two of them really couldn't believe it.

At this time, Qiu Bojun felt that he was taking too much advantage, and took the initiative to say: "Mr. Lin, maybe I can participate in the negotiation with Jinshan Company and provide some help." He was very confident, thinking that Kingsoft was built by him, and if he left Kingsoft Software, the company itself would be finished.

Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, you talk to President Long!" To tell you the truth, I didn't invest in you for money, the software market can make a few dollars, but I happened to see the dangers faced by domestic software, and this industry is starting, I think I should invest in you. We will not take the company's shares too seriously, and when the time is ripe, we can let employees 'stock ownership plan', and we can also come to Hong Kong to list in the future. ”

Qiu Bojun hurriedly said: "We don't do this business for money, we have the same idea as Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Zuhui believed this, and in his previous life, he begged Bojun to sell his villa for 2 million to support the difficult Kingsoft software, but in the end he was invaded by a thief from a country.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "You don't care, but as a partner, we will definitely seek benefits for all the talents who have contributed." Only in this way can a virtuous circle be formed, talents are willing to contribute to the company, and the company's products are getting better and better. ”

Qiu Bojun and Rebus nodded, they only understood today, they used to be just brutal, relying on their enthusiasm.

And today, when Lin Zuhui talked about the thousands of talents in Microsoft who are in research and development, they only knew how naïve their ideas were. Mr. Lin was right in predicting the future.
