Chapter 399 I won’t play with your backward production capacity at all
The talks between Wu Jun, Chen Xiao and others have lasted for a whole week.
Before the meeting ended, bad news came one after another.
Just as the two sides were discussing how to respond to challenges from brands such as Dell, there was another news from the United States.
The Genuine Software Alliance of the United States has jointly issued an announcement.
Office applications and design budgeting software, including Windows Office, CAD, 3DMAX, Matlab, etc., will jointly resist piracy.
In order to improve the product experience, in addition to Windows Office, all office, design, and computing applications will be upgraded immediately, and only support Windows XP systems.
At the same time, these applications will not support Changtian Technology’s hardware facilities.
This sentence contains many meanings. It can be understood that the software company defaults that when you use a computer equipped with Changtian Technology hardware equipment and use these software, then you must be using pirated software.
At the same time, some software companies have also announced that they will not support or recognize the results of running pirated applications in international business cooperation and academic fields.
This means that if you study architecture or design and need to produce drawings for foreign customers or conduct academic exchanges, you must use genuine design software. If you use pirated design software to make
The drawings will not be recognized by relevant agencies.
This is not a big deal for ordinary designers, but for those scholars who study abroad or want to publish research results in international academic journals, it almost excludes Changtian Technology's hardware products.
That is to exclude Shenship's computer.
For example, if you study mathematics, physics or biology, you will inevitably use Matlab software.
High-end talents in these fields will definitely publish their research results in international academic journals, and many students even seek to study abroad.
So when writing a paper, you should also use this kind of software.
Foreign schools and academic journals also say no to piracy.
Then these people will have no choice but to exclude Changtian Technology's hardware products and Shenship's computers.
When Wu Jun received the news from his secretary, he slammed the table angrily.
In the short term, this series of measures taken by Western software companies will have almost no impact on Shenship.
Because most of the users who are looking for the ultimate cost-effectiveness buy Shenchuan computers for playing games, surfing the Internet, and watching movies in addition to ordinary office work.
Basically it will not involve scientific research or design fields.
But this kind of behavior is completely insulting, and it nails Shenchuan Computer into the hands of copycats and pirates that cannot be washed away.
This is what is meant by the so-called murderous and disgusting people.
Wu Jun angrily said to Chen Xiao: "These software companies in the United States just refuse to make progress. Don't they know that users have a much better software experience when using carbon crystal memory and carbon-based hard drives?"
Since Shenchuan was established last year, computer sales have indeed increased, but Wu Jun also attaches great importance to brand building in production.
The most important thing for a product is image and reputation. If these two things are good, then there will be a certain premium rate.
Shenzhou is also preparing to create relatively high-end products and raise prices to achieve greater profits.
But if Shenchuan's products are stigmatized and copied, it will be very difficult for Wu Jun to take his brand further.
With the market of Xia Kingdom supporting it here, it is not impossible to say that the divine ship will not be defeated soon.
But what Microsoft and American software companies did, basically blocked the way for Shenship to go to sea, and determined the upper limit of Shenship - at most, it would be a second-tier company in China.
This announcement issued by Microsoft and American software companies has a huge impact.
After this announcement just came out, in just a few hours, many PC companies and software companies expressed their support for it.
Not to mention the PC companies in the United States, they all published announcements on their official websites, expressing their determination to support genuine Windows systems and genuine applications.
It is understandable that American technology companies immediately issued corresponding statements.
But what disgusted Chen Xiao the most was a domestic PC company, which issued a statement.
Lianxiang has published a statement on the front page of their official website supporting Microsoft and American software companies regarding the use of genuine software:
"Lianxiang Company has always been committed to the application of genuine systems and genuine software. We encourage consumers to use genuine WINDOWS systems and genuine software. Lianxiang will take practical actions to maintain the safety of consumers."
Under this statement, Lianxiang listed a row of genuine software that was installed on the computer.
Of course, these include the latest version of Windows Office and some design and computing software commonly used by users.
This is some information that Chen Xiao and Wu Jun can see online.
In physical sales stores such as Lianxiang, Samsung, Asus, and Sony, these companies have even more disgusting behaviors.
The new sales tactics were also passed down, and the sales staff in these sales stores directly compared their own platform computers with Shenzhou.
We solemnly tell consumers that we use genuine operating systems and genuine software, and safety can be guaranteed.
If you choose the cheaper Shenzhou, although you can get a good price, the system and software you use are pirated, which will greatly endanger the user's information security.
The fundamental connotation of this sales strategy is to belittle others and elevate oneself, and it also constantly conveys to consumers the message that Shenchuan's computers are fake and unsafe.
Wu Jun was very anxious, but seeing Chen Xiao's calm look, he really didn't know what to say.
Wu Jun said angrily in his heart, anyway, the largest shareholder of Shenship now is Changtian Technology. Chen Xiao is not in a hurry. What's the use of being anxious?
Chen Xiao saw what Wu Jun was worried about and said with a smile: "Actually, we don't need to worry so much. There are two reasons."
"First, most of our customers are students or young people who have just entered the workplace. Most of them use our computers to play games, and a very small number of them are used for design, calculation, etc.
This part of the customer base cares about cost-effectiveness and product experience, and we have an absolute advantage in this regard. Therefore, our customer base has not been lost because of Windows and American software companies' crackdowns on piracy."
"Second point, I always believe that as long as the product is competitive enough, any interference from the outside world is nothing to be ashamed of."
"With the development of the economy and society, computers will become more and more popular, and not only desktop computers, but also laptop computers will be popular."
"Before I came, I said on the phone that this time Changtian Technology will bring two gifts for cooperation - a domestic operating system and a laptop."
Chen Xiao said: "I firmly believe that in addition to chips and graphics cards, we can completely crush any PC company in the world in terms of PC hardware technology. I don't want Shenchuan to play with them anymore and have backward production capabilities."
Wu Jun couldn't react in his own mind. What did Chen Xiao just say?
