My 1999

"Mr. Qiu, I misunderstood. Although your company's games are developing well, I have no intention of acquiring Xishanju."

"Huh?" Qiu Bojun was a little surprised.

Now Xishanju's "Jianxia Love Online Edition" is developing in full swing, which is a huge temptation for any game company.

"If Mr. Qiu is willing to sell me the WPS series of office software, I will be very happy. But forget it about Xishanju. Hongmeng has developed many games, and there is no shortage of one or two popular games.

Moreover, when a hundred flowers bloom, Hongmeng Games cannot occupy all the markets. Only with competition can we develop better. "

Qiubojun was surprised that the other party would say that, and even more surprised that he actually wanted the WPS series of office software.

"Mr. Xu, you must be aware that WPS software has become worse than before in recent years. Although our technology is not bad, users are more willing to choose Microsoft Office."

"Of course I know. But there is no doubt about the success of WPS. It is also one of the very few software in China that has independent intellectual property rights. If it continues like this, it will be a waste of WPS. I am very willing to continue to develop and upgrade WPS."

"Mr. Xu, are you serious?"

"Of course. If Mr. Qiu is willing, I am willing to purchase the WPS series of office software for 100 million Chinese coins." Xu Liang affirmed.

Qiu Bojun shook his head after thinking for a while.

"WPS is my labor of love, just like my own children. I will not sell it."

"Sir, as far as I know, people at Lenovo have always been very opposed to you continuing to develop WPS?"

Qiu Bojun nodded.

He knew that this matter within Jinshan Company could not be hidden from anyone at all.

Not to mention Xu Liang.

"In this case, Mr. Qiu might as well take Kingsoft and Kingsoft PowerWord to become independent from Kingsoft. Without the constraints of Lenovo, Kingsoft can become a pure software company and make up for China's shortcomings in application software through continuous research and development. , and Mr. Qiu will become a truly respected entrepreneur."

"Mr. Xu's words are indeed heart-warming, but I don't have Mr. Xu's ability to run a company."

Qiu Bojun is not shy about mentioning the lessons he learned from Microsoft back then.

"Failure is the mother of success. Mr. Qiu, why should we dwell on excessive mistakes? As long as we continue to look forward, I believe Kingsoft can develop better."

Qiubo Jun smiled and nodded, "It seems that Mr. Xu is really interested in Kingsoft's WPS series software."

He is already forty, has been running a business for many years, and already has the ability to recognize people.

Xu Liang didn’t mince words either.

"I do want to acquire WPS, but I value Mr. Qiu's amazing talent in programming more."

Qiu Bojun smiled but did not speak.

Xu Liang knew that he thought he was just paving the way for the acquisition of Jinshan, but in fact he was not.

He stood up, picked up the red wine that had sobered up on the table, and poured a glass for Qiubo-kun.

"Thank you."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Sir, although many years have passed, why do you think WPS lost to office?"

"Why else? Of course it's because of the Windows operating system. If Microsoft's operating system hadn't occupied all computers and excluded WPS, how could we have lost?"

Xu Liang nodded and said: "Microsoft's software hegemony is indeed powerful, but it is not impossible to get around it."

Qiu Bojun frowned, instinctively wanting to mock.

But thinking of the other party's amazing achievements, he swallowed his words again.

The other party does have the ability to challenge Bill Gates, whether in career or wealth.

"The next development direction of our Hongmeng company is the operating system. We are currently recruiting top domestic programming talents. Mr. Qiu is a genius in this area. I sincerely invite you to join Hongmeng and serve as the project chief engineer of the Hongmeng operating system."

"Mr. Xu, I admire your courage very much, but Microsoft's operating system already accounts for more than 90% of the world's share. Even if you develop a new operating system with better technology, there will still be problems in the software and hardware ecosystem. There is a huge gap.”

Qiu Bojun is not optimistic about Xu Liang's plan at all. If Microsoft was so easy to defeat, Bill Gates would not have been the richest man for so many years.

"Please sir, please don't refuse in a hurry."

Xu Liang opened the briefcase in his hand, took out a document and placed it in front of Qiu Bojun.

"Confidentiality agreement?"

"The content I will show Mr. Qiu next involves Hongmeng's development plans for the next twenty years, so I have to pay attention to it."

Xu Liang's words made Qiu Bojun curious.

After flipping through it briefly, he signed his name on it.

"Is that okay now?"

"certainly."

Xu Liang put the research and development plan for the ‘Hongmeng Operating System’, which was improved by Xie Wen, in front of Qiu Bojun.

At first, the latter was just curious, but as he looked back, his expression became more solemn.

Later he showed even more excitement.

"What a genius idea, so wonderful!"

The entire R\u0026D plan includes not only the software content, but also the hardware parameters needed to realize the software functions, as well as the gap between the current hardware performance and actual needs.

Also, based on past development experience, it will take time to bridge this gap.

The content is detailed and highly feasible.

As the founder of Jinshan Company, the experienced Qiu Bojun can see the value of this plan at a glance.

"Mr. Xu, if Hongmeng operating system is really developed, it will completely subvert the current mobile phone market."

Xu Liang smiled, Qiu Bojun was still short-sighted.

The emergence of smartphones has subverted the mobile phone market, the Internet, industry, and retail industries, changed the media industry, and brought about profound social changes.

But these are still too far.

There is no need to make it too clear.

"After reading this plan, I wonder if Mr. Qiu would like to join Hongmeng and work with us to change the world?"

"I……."

A 'willing' stuck on her lips.

After all, he is no longer the Qiu Bojun sitting in a hotel working hard to start a business. He has a company, a home, and his own career.

It is not an easy decision to give up the chicken head of Jinshan Company and become the phoenix tail of Hongmeng Company.

"I want to think about it."

Mr. Qiubo said a little ashamed.

"Yes, I understand Mr. Qiu's concerns. But I also ask Mr. Qiu to keep it confidential for me."

"Mr. Xu, please rest assured. I personally guarantee that not a single word of this plan will be leaked from me."

"Thank you." Xu Liang smiled.

In fact, he was not very worried about the plan being leaked.

Because the operating system, even the mobile operating system, is still a huge system project, which requires a huge investment of manpower, material resources and funds in research and development before it can be successful.

At this stage, only Hongmeng has the resources, capabilities, and willingness in China.

After Qiubo Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he was reluctant to return the information in his hand.

The reluctant look in his eyes made people laugh.

"Mr. Xu, I would like to take the liberty to ask, who is the talented person in your company who wrote this plan? I would like to meet him in person?"

"I don't dare to be a great talent. I just stand on the shoulders of my predecessors and innovate." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Qiubo Jun suddenly said, "Mr. Xu's talent is really admirable."

"Haha, you're welcome. Come on, eat. If you don't eat, you'll get cold."

Qiubo Jun's mind is not on eating right now, but everyone has said so, and it's hard for him to refuse.

Over a sip of wine and a bite of food, we chatted while eating, and our relationship became closer.
