rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 553 Chapter 551: You won’t do the free thing again, right?

"I heard before that when Mr. Chen was young, I was somewhat disapproving of him."

"But after this meeting, I realized that the rumors were indeed true."

"I was young too, but when I was Mr. Chen's age, I really didn't understand anything."

In the private room of the farmhouse, Rebus poured Chen Li a cup of tea with the tea leaves he brought.

What he said sounded like he was praising Chen Li, but he was telling the truth.

And his tone seemed to have a hint of compliment, but it was not that obvious.

Speaking of which, by this time in 2000, Rebus was already considered a top figure in the domestic computer and Internet circles.

Yinshan Company has been developing for many years and is definitely the leading company in the domestic software industry.

And the reason why Rebus treated Chen Li with such an attitude was naturally due to his own reasons.

In fact, the reason for this situation is not how awesome Chen Li is~ but how rogue Ma Xiaoyun is!

In previous security software battles, Red Pony Technology, under the leadership of Ma Xiaoyun, used a trick called "free" to catch traditional security software off guard.

You know, before Red Pony launched Security Guard for free, the security software industry was still in a passive defense state.

Many security companies have not developed active defense software at all, and now they don’t even want to.

Because Red Pony has pushed active defense security guards to the level of "free", there is no profit at all in developing the same type of software at this time.

But if there is no research and development, it is almost equivalent to giving up the corresponding market. In this way, even the anti-virus software market will gradually be eroded by red pony technology.

Therefore, everyone has to work hard to improve the technical content of their anti-virus software, and at the same time, they have to change from passive to active in trying to close the gap with the red pony.

Free ~ is definitely a killer move of Red Pony Technology. This move alone caught other security software companies off guard.

And the most terrible thing is that they don't even dare to force Red Pony Technology.

It is not that no company has wanted to start a price war with Red Pony Technology before. After all, Red Pony Technology only provides security guards for free.

Although the performance of Red Pony’s anti-virus software is also very good, it does require a fee.

So some people think that since your security guard is free and the performance of your anti-virus software is better than mine, then I can only sell it at a reduced price.

Then there is no more!

Because once any company's product price is reduced, Red Pony Technology's products will immediately launch a relatively lower promotional price.

Even Ma Xiaoyun made such nonsense~ If there are still people who continue to raise prices, then Red Pony Technology will do whatever it takes, even if it makes the anti-virus software free~ to continue to compete with its competitors.

Then no one dared to do this, because everyone could see that Ma Xiaoyun was actually a bastard.

When dealing with guys like Ma Xiaoyun, you absolutely cannot follow the traditional approach.

Because I can’t do it!

The reason is also very simple. Red Pony Technology has received a lot of money in two rounds of financing. This aspect alone is not comparable to that of traditional software companies.

These software companies have naturally made some money over the years, but after the money has gone into their pockets, it is not that easy for them to take it out.

And we are not fools either. It is normal to engage in this kind of price war that harms others, but once it goes too far, it will be a tragedy for the entire industry.

It is obvious that Red Pony Technology is going to reshuffle the entire security software industry. The traditional old routine is no longer suitable today.

What makes them most desperate is that the products launched by Red Pony Technology have really good performance!

Especially the free security guard, its performance is so powerful that it makes peers despair.

After all, he is a black technology security guard that has been transformed by System Xiaomeng. In this era of 2000, he was enough to stand out from the crowd.

Especially if you only need to pay a small price, Xiaomeng will also provide after-sales service.

Yes~ after all, this red pony security guard is derived from the Qihoo 350 security guard in the previous life. Although it has been modified by Xiaomeng, there are still some small loopholes.

In fact, some people did find some small vulnerabilities, but as soon as these vulnerabilities that had little impact on security guards were discovered, Red Pony Technology immediately provided corresponding countermeasures.

And this is what Xiao Meng did!

Of course, in the eyes of Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, this is the credit of Chen Li and the team behind him.

Speaking of which, after being mistaken for having a team for a long time, Chen Li himself almost believed it. He even started to actively use the trumped-up team behind him as an excuse when mentioning some related technologies many times.

There's nothing he can do about it. Others will feel that way regardless of whether he says it or not. It's better for him to take the initiative to mention it. This can save a lot of trouble.

It is precisely because of Xiaomeng’s protection that Red Pony Technology’s security guards and anti-virus software are unrivaled in terms of performance.

And this~ also makes the colleagues of Red Pony Technology extremely desperate.

After all, it’s fine if the performance of the products is not much different, it’s just a matter of making more or less.

But now the product gap between the two sides is so big ~ this makes those competitors almost being led by the nose by Red Pony Technology.

Even if these competitors want to catch up, it depends on whether Red Pony Technology will give them the opportunity to rise again.

What impression does the current red pony technology give to outsiders?

With strong technology and abundant funds, the CEO is still a shameless scoundrel. He will always try to attack you with tricks that can damage the enemy by 800 and damage himself by 500. Most people really can't resist it.

It would be fine if Red Pony Technology had always stayed in the security software industry. Even if Yinshan Antivirus was considered a failure, Yinshan Company recognized this failure.

But now Ma Xiaoyun, a scoundrel, plans to invade Yinshan Company's headquarters~ Rebus can't bear it.

Rebus had discussed it with Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi before, but these two were tight-lipped about Rebus's purpose.

It's just that Rebus doesn't know at all. It's not that Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi are tight-lipped, but that Red Pony Technology does have the idea of ​​​​entering office software, but it is just an idea at the moment.

To put it bluntly, as a giant in the current security software industry, Red Pony Technology is a very normal thing to develop some office software for its own use.

After all, it is a software company. If the company needs to pay other companies for any software it uses, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing to say so?

Hmm. Okay~ This was actually just a casual comment Chen Li made when chatting with Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi before, but Ma Xiaoyun really listened to it.

However, when Ma Xiaoyun came here, it was originally just an act of developing several office software for the convenience of his own company. From Ma Xiaoyun's mouth, it turned into a plan to enter the office software industry.

This guy Zhou Hongyi was actually a boring gourd before he turned black.

When Ma Xiaoyun said this, this guy took it seriously.

After all, the profits of office software are there. If a newly established small company wants to enter the office software industry, it will naturally have nothing to gain.

After all, the competitors in the office software industry are industry giants like Microsoft and Yinshan.

But now Red Pony Technology is naturally no longer a small company. It has already established a foothold in the security software industry, so it seems that there is no problem in trying to break into the office software industry.

Then after Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi reached an agreement, Chen Li also followed suit.

Because in Chen Li's previous life, when people mentioned office software, the first thing they thought of was Microsoft's Office series.

If~ I mean if!

Red Pony Technology can develop office software with more complete functions, more convenience, and more efficiency. When people think of office software, they won’t just think about Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

In fact, before Chen Li was reborn, Microsoft's Office series no longer had that big advantage.

Domestic white-collar elites have gradually become accustomed to new office software, such as WPS, DingTalk, Tengxun Conference, and the likes of Picture Viewer and Scanner.

Most of these software are products developed by domestic software companies, which proves that Microsoft is not as powerful as imagined.

In the early days, the templates of many domestic office software were almost copied from Microsoft's office software.

This has also made many people more accustomed to the operating mode of Microsoft's office software series.

But if, in 2000, someone suddenly emerged and developed more convenient, faster and more efficient office software, would it be possible to get rid of the influence of Microsoft Office software?

Of course~ this matter actually doesn't mean much when it comes to talking about it.

After all, with the development of the Internet, the rise of the domestic software industry is a natural thing.

Even without the influence of Chen Li's butterfly, this matter is still a matter of time.

However, in Chen Li's view, since some things are destined to happen, why can't they happen earlier?

Of course, if it were someone else, it might be difficult to achieve this goal due to technical reasons and other reasons.

But Chen Li is different. He has the system in hand, and technical problems are not problems at all.

To put it bluntly, it’s just a little mall currency.

There are now more than 200 branches of Ideal Fried Chicken. Even if Chen Li still owes the system external debt, there is still no problem in redeeming several software.

So, the three of them summed it up with each other, and then Chen Li exchanged several corresponding office software from the system.

However, this time Chen Li did not exchange for any powerful office software. He only purchased a few domestic software that were more than ten years old and asked Xiaomeng to make certain deletions and modifications to them.

After all, some features simply shouldn’t exist today.

It's not a purely technical problem, but a hardware problem.

Let’s take a simple example~such as the later Tengxun Conference!

This is an audio and video conferencing software owned by the former Shitenxun, which was launched at the end of December 2019.

This software has functions such as online meetings for 300 people, one-click access to all platforms, intelligent audio and video noise reduction, beautification, background blur, locked meetings, screen watermarks, etc.

It even provides real-time screen sharing and supports online document collaboration and other functions.

But if Chen Li directly redeemed this thing and gave it to Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, it would be nonsense.

Regardless of the current level of computer hardware or the current broadband transmission speed, it is simply impossible to support the operation of the Texun Conference software.

Therefore, some functions that are temporarily unnecessary or unavailable need to be deleted.

In addition, the current hardware level must also be taken into consideration, so some functions need to be banned.

And the most important thing is that Chen Li still can't come up with a complete product.

After all, if he did everything for Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, it would seem that they were of little use.

Therefore, what Chen Li finally took from the system were actually several defective products, but in his mouth. These defective products became products that the team behind him had not yet completed.

The reason why research and development has not been completed is not because the technical level of the team is not enough, but because the importance of these things is not high.

Chen Li made a random excuse, saying that the people in the team behind him were solving a difficult technical problem, so these office software were handed over to Red Pony Technology.

After getting these defective software, Zhou Hongyi led her team to study in the office for half a month, and then

Ma Xiaoyun officially announced publicly that Red Pony Technology is about to enter the office software industry.

Then~ Rebus of Silver Mountain panicked.

Rebus is definitely not a fool, on the contrary, he is definitely one of the smartest people in the world.

So he knows very well that the reason why Yinshan Company has become a giant in the domestic software industry is not that Yinshan Software is the best in the country, but that they were founded early enough and have enough time to develop.

While other companies have not noticed the domestic software industry, they have already taken root in this industry.

With these foundations in place, when other companies come later and want a share of the pie, they will need to face the industry giant Yinshan Company.

If it were in the past, if ordinary small businesses wanted to compete with giants like Yinshan Company, not to mention it would be absolutely impossible, but it would definitely be a very difficult thing.

But it’s different now!

Why? Because now is the hot spot of the computer Internet!

To tell a funny thing, Yinshan Company has been developing for many years, and its market value is definitely a giant in the same industry.

However, in the past two years, with the trend of investing in computers and the Internet, many companies with immature products have almost caught up with the entire Yinshan Company in terms of market value.

That’s right~ I’m talking about Internet upstarts like Red Pony Technology.

It has only been one year since its establishment, but the valuation of Red Pony Technology has already increased countless times.

It is even estimated that it won’t be long before Red Pony Technology can even surpass Yinshan Company.

This, they are nonsense.

But what can be done? This is the power of capital!

Under the power of capital, even Rebus, the general manager of Yinshan, an industry giant, needs to come to Chen Li to find out. As for the reason,

"That~Mr. Chen!"

"Your company's new products won't be free again, right?"
