Rebirth of the Wild Age

Song Weiyang missed the final exam of last semester again, and he missed the make-up exam again this semester.

After layers of applications from the Department of Sociology, the School of Law, and the Office of Academic Affairs, the school arranged an extra make-up exam for Song Weiyang. The topic was a little easier, but not too simple, at least it could guarantee that Song Weiyang could pass.

Not only high mathematics and statistics are very bad, but also English.

Song Weiyang took professional English in his junior year, a compulsory course, and he had to memorize many words by rote. Basic English and professional English are two different languages, so foreign lawyers are popular, while ordinary people in Britain and the United States can't understand professional judicial terms at all.

After successfully scoring a lot of more than 60 points, Song Weiyang finally got out of the failing state.

Xianghuitang.

Someone gave another speech today, and the protagonist was Qiu Bojun, the boss of Jinshan Company.

Historically, ps97 launched a beta version at the end of 1996, and then launched five or six beta versions one after another. It was not until September 1997 that the final version was finally released. This repeated toss was because the company was short of funds and could only take semi-finished products to the market to make money, providing valuable funds for subsequent development.

But now, Song Weiyang sent two sums of money to Jinshan and Sohu respectively after the Shenzhen Stock Exchange closed the network.

With sufficient logistical support, Jinshan programmers were enthusiastic and did not take much rest during the Spring Festival. They developed the final version of ps97 half a year earlier than in history.

"Old Qiu, congratulations!" Song Weiyang shook hands and patted his shoulders.

"Happy, happy, haha!" Qiu Bojun laughed happily.

Song Weiyang asked: "How is ps97 selling?"

Qiu Bojun raised a finger: "In less than a month, more than 4,000 sets have been sold, and the sales volume of similar software in China is the first!"

"Good work," Song Weiyang said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to Xianghui Hall to talk about it."

Now China's largest software sales company, called Lianbang Software, has stores in every big city. And Lei Jun's best friend, Jinshan's former director of Beijing R\u0026D Center, is the co-founder of Lianbang Software. As long as the ps97 is done well, there is no need to worry about no sales channels, the only worry is the sales volume, at most two or three months, pirated copies will definitely come out.

Today, both Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun are doing sales in person. Lei Jun is in charge of running universities in the north, and Qiu Bojun is in charge of running universities in the south. As long as these universities can be dealt with, large orders can be received, and at the same time, fame can be quickly established.

Song Weiyang brought Qiu Bojun to Xianghui Hall, and before he could enter, he was surrounded by students.

"Hello Mr. Qiu, I especially admire you!"

"Mr. Qiu, did you really write the ps on the hospital bed by yourself?"

"Mr. Qiu, I'm graduating this year. Does Jinshan still lack programmers?"

"..."

Most of the people who came to listen to Qiu Bojun's speech were students from Fudan's computer science department. They even ignored Song Weiyang and focused all their attention on Qiu Bojun, because Qiu Bojun has a title called: China's No. 1 Programmer.

The two teachers walked over with a smile, squeezed into the crowd and said, "Students, let Mr. Qiu go in first, there is plenty of time for communication."

Song Weiyang quickly introduced: "Old Qiu, this is Director Shi of Fudan Computer Department, and this is Professor Zhang of Fudan Computer Department. Professor Zhang is also the big boss, you can cooperate with him a lot."

"Hello Director Shi!"

"Hi Professor Zhang!"

Qiu Bojun immediately stepped forward to shake hands.

Professor Zhang smiled and said, "You are the big bosses, what kind of big boss am I?"

In the 1990s, Shenghai City had a huge plan to build Shenghai into an information port, and at the same time set up two high-tech industry incubation bases next to Fudan University and Jiaotong University.

The professor Zhang in front of me founded a company last year, which belongs to the Fudan University-run enterprise. The registered capital is 1 million, and after two years, the assets will be close to 20 million, all of which are government projects. For example, Shenghai's power dispatching automation system and Shenghai's fire communication command system are all developed by Professor Zhang's company.

It was entirely because of Song Weiyang's face that Professor Zhang was invited here, so that Qiu Bojun could take advantage of the opportunity to get in touch with Shenghai's high-tech industry incubator.

Song Weiyang planned to start a computer company next year, and chose Shenghai as the address. Taking advantage of the construction plan of Shenghai Information Port, he frantically received orders from the government, enterprises and universities. At the same time, it can also complement Kingsoft's software and hardware, relying on Shenghai and Xiangshan, and radiate to the entire southern market.

In the southern region, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how tough the relationship with President Liu is, it is beyond his reach. Everyone can compete relatively fairly.

Qiu Bojun walked up to the podium in a Chinese tunic suit. Students from the Fudan Computer Association came in with tables, chairs and two computers. It took several power strips to connect them.

At the beginning of the speech, Qiu Bojun smiled and said: "I don't know how to speak, and everything is based on facts. The two computers beside me, one is equipped with the latest version of Microsoft's ord, and the other is equipped with Kingsoft's ps97. Interested students You can raise your hand, I will choose a few to come up and carry out on-site operations."

Hulala raised a lot of hands, Qiu Bojun directly picked 20 students to come on stage. Two students operated while the rest watched.

After more than ten minutes, Qiu Bojun stopped and asked, "How do you feel?"

One of the students replied: "ps97 is more convenient and faster to operate."

"It's so easy to use ps97, it's the most convenient office software I've ever come into contact with." Another student laughed.

Qiu Bojun let the students who watched the excitement continue to operate, and he said: "See what I'm wearing today? The Chinese version, to put it bluntly, is a tunic suit made for Chinese people according to the American figure. The sizes are all wrong. , d This software cannot be said to be bad, but it was developed by Americans, and the habit of text editing is to use English input as the standard..."

As soon as Qiu Bojun came up, he caught Ord madly, not because he was ignorant, but because he stated the facts.

Even when developing ps97, Kingsoft specifically focused on the inconvenient and unaccustomed places for Chinese people to use ord, and optimized these details.

Historically, ps97 swept the Chinese office software market, and even cooperated with the military to launch a military version. The full version of 97 is priced at 480 yuan a set, and the home version is priced at 168 yuan. Microsoft even started a price war and set ord as 97 A set of yuan, and comes with a toy pen. Even so, not many people are willing to use ord, because ps97 is too suitable for Chinese people to operate.

It's a pity that there are too many pirated copies. Kingsoft's flagship product ps97 is far less profitable than the company's other small products.

However, the real role of ps97 is to reaffirm Kingsoft's leading position in China's general software industry.

The sign is up!

Qiu Bojun continued his speech:

"Chinese people should use their own software. We have our own culture and habits, and we cannot say that everything abroad is good. We can't let all Chinese people use knives and forks when eating, because many Chinese food can only be picked up with chopsticks, ps97 is Chinese chopsticks!"

"Let me give a very simple example. Ord is very convenient when printing English manuscripts, but it often makes mistakes when printing Chinese manuscripts. After the first page is printed, the remaining pages printed by ord are all wrong pages, and the layout is messed up. If you can print it correctly once out of ten times, you are lucky, and once you make a mistake, you have to re-typeset, which takes paper, ink and time. This is the difference between the two countries. English and Chinese are different. Microsoft I don’t know what Chinese users need at all... The things that Chinese people use, you can only rest assured that you have to make them yourself, and the things that others donate are useless!”

The example Qiu Bojun gave is true, but only partly true.

ord6.0 can still print Chinese manuscripts perfectly, but the operation is very cumbersome, the computer must be switched back to the DOS system, and the background printing task needs to be cleared once... This bug has been going on for three years, and Microsoft never thought of making it up , anyway, Chinese customers can make do with it.

"Crack, clap, clap!"

The audience applauded thunderously.

In fact, Qiu Bojun's speech style is not good. The above content may seem sensational and can arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the listeners, but they are all manuscripts that have been written long ago. When Qiu Bojun said it, his tone was too calm, without the slightest touch of sensationalism.

But I can't help the students adore him, all of them are like beating chicken blood, we Chinese finally made better software than Microsoft!

At the end of the speech, Director Shi from the Department of Computer Science came to the stage to operate it himself, feeling very satisfied. When he returned home, he typed an application report to the school, and soon, all computers in Fudan were replaced with genuine ps97s.

The next day, Song Weiyang accompanied Qiu Bojun to visit the Shenghai High-Tech Industry Incubation Base, and by the way, chose a piece of land for his future computer company.

The name of the company is well thought out, and it is called "Shenzhou Technology Co., Ltd.", and the computers produced are of course called "Shenzhou Computer".
