Accompanied by Qiu Bojun and Rebus, Lin Zuhui visited the office building.
"Mr. Lin, we currently have a total of 28 technical R&D personnel, and we are all working together to develop the word processing software wpS94 based on the Windows platform..." Qiu Bojun introduced seriously.
Lin Zuhui said: "Are you continuing to recruit talents in this area?"
Qiu Bojun immediately said: "Yes, our goal is to bring together software experts from all over China to create the future of China Software."
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said: "Microsoft in the United States has thousands of people, and Oracle also has thousands of people. So 100 people is not our goal, our goal should be 1,000 people. Of course, I am talking about the long-term goal.
You don’t have to worry about funds. Our company is very optimistic about the mainland’s software market and will not be stingy in investing.”
Although Kingsoft is not his company, he is only the major shareholder, but he values the technology products of software and hardware very much. It is a secret plan of his, which is related to the level of scientific and technological progress of the Chinese people and can also bring richness to Lin Zuhui.
profits, so he is very concerned about the development in this area.
Qiu Bojun said cautiously: "Mr. Lin, there is a lot of piracy 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, and word processing tools are just one of them. Some small software development can allow the company to keep fighting with war. It can also develop anti-virus software, translation
Software has no less potential than wps!”
WPS could hardly compete with Microsoft in the 1990s, and Lin Zuhui valued Kingsoft as a game agent in the future.
The investors all spoke, and Qiu Bojun naturally said happily: "Okay, we will definitely diversify the software market."
Next, Lin Zuhui visited the use of wps software and "casually" put forward some opinions on its use, such as what functions, fonts, layout and functions, just like a designer, which immediately attracted requests from Rebus and others.
It turns out that wps in this era did not have many functions and the layout was simple; but 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 no choice but to smile and say: "I'm just talking about fantasy. I don't know if the technology can do it. Just listen to it."
Rebus said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, technology is accumulated slowly, but the functions you mentioned are very popular. If they are really developed, they will definitely be very good products."
It can be said that although Lin Zuhui does not understand technology, his humanized and multi-functional opinions are as valuable as treasures; if Kingsoft can handle it and PS, it will be the most advantageous competitor for WoRd to enter the mainland in 1995.
"Then work hard! As investors, we can add additional investment funds at any time."
"Thank you so much Mr. Lin!"
In fact, the acquisition of wps did not cost much money, because the version of wps currently sold on the market still belongs to the original Kingsoft company. They just spun off the original Kingsoft software and paid less than HK$2 million.
.......
At the last stop, Lin Zuhui returned to Xiaomi Technology Park.
The sales of VCDs in the Mainland are completely different from those in the previous life. This made Lin Zuhui couldn't help but wonder whether Wanyan would advertise in the previous life. No wonder their peers laughed at them, saying, "Can't you explain what VCD is?", and at the beginning,
Wan Yan's VCD discs actually don't have feature films, they are all karaoke discs.
Arriving at Zou Kaixuan's office, Lin Zuhui sat in her seat and said with a smile: "It seems you have been quite prosperous recently!"
Zou Kaixuan came to Lin Zuhui and said, "There are indeed many honors coming my way, but these are all given to me by you!"
Lin Zuhui said: "We can be considered lovers, so we should use less polite words from now on."
"Well, I listen to you!"
Lin Zuhui didn't care about this. He knew that Zou Kaixuan was very loyal and admired to him.
He then asked: "When dealing with the government and the media, you must reveal that the money Xiaomi Technology makes in the mainland will definitely continue to invest in the mainland's technology industry. In this way, we are equivalent to positioning ourselves
Mainland companies have improved their corporate image. As for whether the funds are really invested in the Mainland, you can actually handle it yourself, and they can't interfere."
This is just a slogan to avoid making too much money and making people jealous.
Of course, this is also true. Mainland investment will be the focus in the future; the real returns will have to wait until after the 21st century.
Zou Kaixuan nodded and said, "Well, I have already said that our Xiaomi Technology will invest heavily in the technology industry."
At present, the sales of Vcd players are rising steadily, with monthly global sales of about 6,000 units; because Japanese manufacturers have not yet been able to produce them, it is equivalent to Xiaomi selling Vcd players in the market.
However, once Japanese brands impact, it will be difficult to compete overseas. After all, Japanese home appliances are too powerful.
As for the mainland, Xiaomi Technology is not afraid at all.
The advertising is very good and has the highest visibility!
Today's CCTV advertisements are still very cheap. You can buy them during prime time for only two to three million. From now on, I'm afraid they will have to double every year.
In this era, when people in the Mainland buy things, their first choice is who has good advertising, followed by quality and after-sales. Especially when it comes to quality and after-sales, they don't know how to protect their rights.
Therefore, many mainland brands only care about marketing and price wars, and do not pay attention to quality and after-sales. In their view, they just want to make quick money and occupy the market first.
But Xiaomi Technology is different. It not only attaches importance to marketing, but also to quality and after-sales service, because Lin Zuhui’s goal is to create a real technology giant.
Sony, Panasonic, JVc and other companies as far away as Japan are developing Vcd players one after another in order to take the opportunity to enter the market.
However, they soon discovered that Xiaomi Technology had applied for a ‘Vcd player patent’. If they wanted to enter the Chinese Vcd market, they would have to pay a patent royalty of US$15 per unit.
Now they quit and complained to the mainland authorities one after another. As you can imagine, the matter was not discussed at all because Xiaomi Technology's background is strong enough.
Sony thought it was like the 'Walkman' back then. Although the Walkman was invented by Europeans, Sony instead took the Europeans to court, and it took the two companies until the millennium to reconcile.
But Xiaomi Technology is obviously not easy to mess with!
Xiaomi's advertisements can never be made for others. Originally, the 'first person to eat crabs' should almost always be the leader in this industry, such as Nissin Ramen; but I don't know why Wan Yan became the first to fall in his previous life.
