Beijing, Kingsoft Software.

Lin Zuhui, accompanied by Qiu Bojun and Rebus, visited the office building.

"Mr. Lin, we are currently a total of 28 technical R&D personnel, and we are working together to develop the word processing software WPS94 based on the Windows platform," Qiu Bojun said seriously.

Lin Zuhui said: "Do you continue to recruit talents in this area? ”

Qiu Bojun immediately said: "Yes, our goal is to bring together all the software masters in China to create the future of Huaxia Software. ”

Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are thousands of people in Microsoft in the United States, and there are thousands of people in Oracle. So 100 people is not our goal, our goal should be 1000 people. Of course, I'm talking about long-term goals. You don't need to worry about funds, our company is very optimistic about the software market in the mainland and will not be stingy with investment. ”

Although Kingsoft is not his company, he is only a major shareholder, but he values it very much. The technology products of software and hardware are one of his secret layouts, which are related to the level of scientific and technological progress of the Chinese, and can also bring huge profits to Lin Zuhui, so he is very concerned about the development of this aspect.

Qiu Bojun said cautiously: "Mr. Lin, there are a lot of pirated copies in the domestic software market, and the market prospects are not as good as those in the United States!" ”

Lin Zuhui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Software is a big market, word processing tools are just one of them, and some small software development can allow the company to fight and war." Moreover, you can engage in anti-virus software and translation software, which is not less promising than WPS! ”

WPS was almost unable to beat Microsoft in the 90s, and Lin Zuhui valued Kingsoft more as a game agent in the future.

The investors have spoken, and Qiu Bojun naturally happily said: "Okay, we will definitely diversify the software market." ”

Next, Lin Zuhui visited the use of WPS software, and 'casually' put forward some suggestions, such as what function, font, layout, function, just like a designer, immediately attracted Rebus and others to consult.

It turns out that many functions of WPS in this era are not yet available, and the layout is simple; And the office word processing software that Lin Zuhui talked about was like a dream product, which shocked everyone for a while.

In the end, Lin Zuhui had to smile and said: "I'm in the Arabian Nights, I don't know if the technology can do it, just listen to it." ”

Rebus said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, the technology is slowly accumulating, but the functions you mentioned are very popular, if they are really developed, they must be very good products." ”

It can be said that although Lin Zuhui does not understand technology, the humanized and multi-functional opinions put forward are like treasures; If Kingsoft can handle the stability of Windows, then WPS will be the most favorable competitor for WORD to enter the mainland in 1995.

"Then you go for it! As an investor, we can invest additional funds at any time. ”

"Thank you so much Mr. Lin!"

In fact, the acquisition of WPS did not cost much, because the version of WPS currently sold in the market still belongs to the original Kingsoft company. They just spun off the original Kingsoft and paid less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

At the last stop, Lin Zuhui returned to the Xiaomi Science and Technology Park.

The sales of VCD in the mainland are very different from the previous life, which makes Lin Zuhui can't help but wonder if Wan Yan will advertise in his previous life, no wonder his peers laugh at them, 'I can't tell what VCD is?' And at the beginning, Wan Yan's VCD discs didn't have feature films, they were all karaoke discs.

When he came to Zou Kaixuan's office, Lin Zuhui sat in her place and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been quite beautiful recently!" ”

Zou Kaixuan came to Lin Zuhui and said, "There are indeed a lot of honors coming to me, but these are all you give me!" ”

Lin Zuhui said: "We are also in a lover relationship, so we will say less polite words in the future." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you!"

Lin Zuhui didn't care about these either, he knew that Zou Kaixuan was very loyal and admired him.

He then asked: "When dealing with the government and the media, you must show that Xiaomi Technology will continue to invest in the mainland's technology industry because of the money it makes in the mainland." In this way, we are equivalent to positioning ourselves as mainland enterprises and raising our corporate image. As for whether the funds are really invested in the mainland, in fact, you can dispose of it yourself, and they can't interfere. ”

It's just a slogan so as not to make too much money and make people jealous.

Of course, the fact is also that mainland investment will be the focus in the future; The real rewards will have to wait for the 21st century beyond.

Zou Kaixuan nodded and said, "Well, I'm talking about it, our Xiaomi technology will invest heavily in the technology industry." ”

At present, the sales of VCD players are rising steadily, with global sales of about 6,000 units per month; Because Japanese manufacturers can't make it yet, it is equivalent to Xiaomi selling VCD players in the market.

However, once the Japanese brand hits, it will be difficult to compete overseas, after all, the Japanese home appliances are too powerful.

As for the mainland, Xiaomi Technology will not be afraid at all.

The advertisement is very well done and the most well-known!

Now CCTV advertising is still very cheap, two or three million can be bought in prime time, and every year after that, I am afraid it will have to be doubled.

In this era, when people in the mainland buy things, the first choice is whose advertising is good, and quality and after-sales are secondary. Especially in terms of quality and after-sales, they also don't know how to defend their rights.

Therefore, there are many mainland brands that only care about marketing and price wars, and do not pay attention to quality and after-sales. In their opinion, they just want to make quick money and want to occupy the market first.

But Xiaomi Technology is different, not only focusing on marketing, but also on quality after-sales, because Lin Zuhui's purpose is to create a real technology giant.

Sony, Panasonic, JVC and other companies in Japan are developing VCD players in order to take the opportunity to enter the market.

However, they soon found out that Xiaomi Technology had applied for a 'VCD disc player patent', and if it wanted to enter the Huaxia VCD market, it had to pay a patent fee of $15 per machine.

Now they quit and complained to the mainland authorities, but the result can be imagined, this matter was not discussed at all; Because, the background of Xiaomi technology is hard enough.

Sony thought it was like the 'Walkman' of the year, although it was a Walkman invented by Europeans, Sony took the Europeans to court instead, and the two families did not reconcile until after the millennium.

But Xiaomi technology is obviously not easy to mess with!

Xiaomi's advertising can never be done for others, and the "first person to eat crabs" should almost always be the best in this industry, such as Nissin Ramen, but I don't know why Wan Yan became the first company to fall in the previous life.
