"China's software industry is in a very embarrassing situation. As the saying goes, there is Microsoft in front and pirated in the back. It is really difficult to survive in the cracks." Fan Wubing told Qiu Bojun, "The root causes of this situation are many, and it is difficult for us to change it, but to solve this problem, we can only work hard on Microsoft."
Qiu Bojun opened the thick information and looked at a few pages and was surprised to find that these things were all trial versions used by Microsoft to develop www.piaotian.comdows95, but there were not many and the attention was not high. Although they had always wanted to get the other party's development technical information, they had never been able to enter. He could not imagine that the information that Fan Wubing had in his hands was far more comprehensive than those of them who were dedicated to developing technology.
"Because I bought a lot of Microsoft's stocks at that time, I am now the third largest shareholder of Microsoft-" Fan Wubing casually said to Qiu Bojun with a puzzled face.
Although he said that, unfortunately the source of these materials has nothing to do with the third largest shareholder. Microsoft's technical department cannot throw this kind of thing around. Even if he is the third largest shareholder, these materials were obtained by Kevin, a hacker genius under Fan Wubing when he was in Hong Kong. Now he threw them all to Fan Wubing, and then Fan Wubing made his subordinates sort it out with great effort.
As soon as Qiu Bojun saw these things, he realized how helpful these materials are to his R&D work. After all, after understanding Microsoft's underlying development methods, many things he had to guess and test can now be omitted, and the difficulty and time-consuming design of the software can be greatly reduced.
Fan Wubing naturally would not tell Qiu Bojun about his real channels for obtaining these materials, and Qiu Bojun was not interested in the source of these materials. He was just concerned about how to develop national software that could compete with Office.
With the bombshell of Microsoft's underlying technology development data, how could Qiu Bojun, as a programmer, not be moved?
As for the treatment, Fan Wubing has already given him a very high salary.
Qiu Bojun read the information for a while, then put it down and said to Fan Wubing, "I am thirty years old this year. The ancients said they were thirty years old. It seems that this year is indeed a new starting point for my career. In fact, not long ago, people from Microsoft contacted me and wanted me to join Microsoft, but I did not agree."
"Are the conditions not good enough? Or is it for some other reason?" Fan Wubing asked in surprise. He didn't know that Microsoft had sent someone to contact Qiu Bojun. If he succeeded, he would need to find someone else to develop it.
"The annual salary of 700,000 is pretty good." Qiu Bojun replied, "But I don't like their tone and arrogant attitude, so I just refused."
Fan Wubing asked after asking, it turned out that the person who sent Microsoft to recruit Qiu Bojun was a Taiwanese, with a look of humiliation and told him that he would do something promising, as if it was his gift to join Microsoft. Of course, this would not make Qiu Bojun feel comfortable.
At that time, many people regarded him as an idol figure of national software and advised him not to let the banner of national software fall. In addition, he himself felt that office was actually nothing good, but it just had a technical advantage, so he decided to continue his career.
"It is best not to join them. I will give it to Taiwanese people and rely on others to breathe. Sooner or later I will lose my personality." When Fan Wubing heard that it was Taiwanese who recruited Bojun for Microsoft, he immediately understood what was going on.
Due to historical reasons, the cultural atmosphere between the mainland and Taiwan is very different. Although Taiwan is far behind the mainland in terms of educational popularity, in terms of intellectual property awareness and anti-piracy efforts, Taiwan is much stronger than the mainland. In addition, Taiwan has good economic development and high consumer purchasing power, so the Taiwan market is the focus of Microsoft, and Taiwan has also trained many Chinese programmers for Microsoft.
Because of this, in the mainland market that has not yet been reclaimed, the senior executives in charge of Microsoft affairs are all Taiwanese.
Influenced by Western thought, Taiwanese people who are born with superiority meet Qiu Bojun, who is educated in mainland China. Naturally, it is a collision of two ways of thinking. If they can get together, there will be a ghost. If someone who is less well-educated may have a quarrel with Taiwanese people.
"My team must be accepted all, otherwise I will not be able to carry out the follow-up work." Qiu Bojun put forward his own request.
Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "This is very natural. As long as they are willing to stay, the treatment will temporarily increase by 20% based on what you give them, which is also my welcome to new employees."
"Okay." Qiu Bojun nodded, "Actually, my team is only about ten people, all of whom are old brothers for many years. Everyone cooperates closely. Without them, it would be difficult to develop new software. In the past, it was because of the lack of underlying technical information for the Windows system. Now that Mr. Fan sent us this, he could save a lot of trouble. At most, we can digest these things and start construction. We are confident that we can complete the new software within one year."
One year, that means that by the middle of next year, new word processing software will be available.
However, Fan Wubing obviously felt that he was a little slower, so he said to him, "A dozen people are indeed a little tired. I have prepared two hundred programmers for you."
"Two hundred programmers?" Qiu Bojun and the people from Kingsoft Company immediately widened their eyes.
There are 200 programmers. www.piaotian.coms, which Microsoft developed the Office suite, had a relatively strong foundation across the country. In the past, we did not focus on the software industry. Now our senior management believes that it is necessary to establish the banner of domestic software, take the low-price route, and cultivate a genuine user group while benefiting the people. Therefore, these 200 programmers are also our current basic team. Our goal is to strive to cultivate a software production team of about 1,000 people in three years, and the development direction is not limited to word processing software."
After a long time of silence, Qiu Bojun patted his forehead and asked, "I want to know how much R&D funding is this year?"
"For the time being, it is 100 million yuan, and the headquarters will gradually invest as needed. Just ask me for the funding, and there will be no shortage of money anyway." Fan Wubing replied.
"Mr. Fan, please be honest. If such a large investment is not satisfactory, you will lose a lot of money." Finally someone asked Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing also said honestly, "I'm not afraid of spending money. The key is to make software that suits my habits. I'm forced to adapt to the habits of Westerners every day. It's very uncomfortable. For this, I have to spend a lot of money to create something decent!"
Finally, I asked Bojun and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Fan, if two hundred programmers can be controlled by me, I will be able to come up with very complete software at most three months, and then enter the detailed debugging stage, which will not exceed one month. In short, within four months, within four months, I will take out word processing software that is more than www.piaotian.comdowww.piaotian.coms and I can naturally launch word processing software that adapts to the new platform, and occupy this market from the very beginning.
Relying on the price advantage and the popularity of the original main creator of WPS and the resources accumulated by millions of users left by WPS in China, I will definitely be able to occupy the domestic word processing software market in one fell swoop and establish the position of the overlord of the domestic software industry. Then, taking this as an opportunity to develop other software is a natural thing.
Although the two signed a formal contract, all employees of Shenzhen Kingsoft Company, led by Qiu Bojun, joined the PCfans club collectively and became the backbone of the company's software business department. As for Han Chu's anti-virus business department, they are temporarily away from the software business department and exist as an independent department. This is certainly because Han Chu's status needs to be taken care of, and it is also because Pili Beibei Anti-virus software has become famous now and no other popular resources are needed.
Afterwards, everyone also talked about the issue of the game industry. Qiu Bojun had the idea of ​​entering computer games at this time. With the support of Fan Wubing, the financial manager, he brought up the matter.
"I guess it won't take so many people to develop new word processing software. My suggestion is to add some manpower to Brother Han's anti-virus business department and add some manpower to me. The remaining part can be tried to develop game software first. After we have completed the word processing software, we will work together to build the first large-scale game software in China." Qiu Bojun suggested.
"In this case, I have to find creativity and artists in advance." Fan Wubing thought that it would be good to make games, but unfortunately, he needed more staff, and he invisibly helped the government solve many job opportunities!
But if you choose to develop a game, which game is more suitable for your own taste?
