Rebirth of the Wild Age

547【Forever Free】

Bill Gates' schedule is very full, not only to attend various conferences, but also to meet Chinese officials, scholars and entrepreneurs, and then he was invited to give speeches at universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Even, the organizer specially set up a group topic for him called "The Road to Success for Developers". Bill Gates gave a speech on the topic, and many software companies including Kingsoft, as well as professors from prestigious universities and representatives of college students were invited to participate in the discussion or attend the event.

"The next ten years will belong to the digital age. At that time, people will only need an e-mail to communicate, and will not be disturbed by other calls and letters, or even give up calls and letters completely. Now many young people don't know what a record is, and ten years later Young people will ask: "What is a CD, what is a VCD?" Because all video content has been digitized, the computer will become as thin as a piece of paper, people can carry the computer with them, and watch their favorite movies and videos anywhere. TV. Nowadays, many people are afraid of computers because they are too cumbersome to use. In fact, there is no need to be afraid. In the future, computers can realize human-computer interaction through voice and handwriting..."

The listeners all felt that they had benefited a lot, and they were all very excited.

Song Weiyang also predicted the future of digital life, but it sounds like a science fiction story. Bill Gates' speeches are obviously much more "down-to-earth", and they are all based on existing technologies.

It's just that Song Weiyang is a little puzzled. Since Bill Gates firmly believes that in ten years, people will be able to communicate through voice, and computers will become as thin as paper. At this time, there is already video call technology, why not use a paper-thin computer to make video calls directly? But it doesn't mean that people can abandon phone calls and letters in the future and only contact by e-mail.

In fact, Bill Gates' point of view is very clear. In the future, computers will be compact, practical, and portable, and can be used for calling, working, shopping, watching videos, listening to music, and playing games... This is equivalent to describing a smartphone. But he still has a string left, always distinguishing mobile phones from computers, and believing that email can dominate all communication methods.

Song Weiyang didn't join in the fun to listen to the lecture, because the topic of this group belonged to the software industry, and he was participating in another group discussion (about the survival and development of enterprises after China's accession to the WTO).

While Song Weiyang was actually discussing the issue, Bill Gates was bragging and selling.

In addition to promoting Microsoft's Shenghai Software Research Institute from an Asian-level center to a world-class center, Bill Gates' other remarks are nonsense.

For example, Bill Gates announced that Microsoft will launch the Architect 2000 Senior Software R\u0026D Executive Training Program, which will cooperate with 11 software development parks in China to train 2,000 software architects for China. When the news came out, the domestic media and college students cheered and compared it to "the MBA program of China's software industry".

What nonsense, more than half of the 11 software development parks mentioned by Bill Gates are the sites of liar Song Ruhua. Microsoft didn't investigate the truth at all. Song Ruhua boasted so much that he thought it was so powerful, so he took those empty shell parks seriously.

"Mr. Song, you are working on the EMBA program of Jinniu Business School, and now Mr. Bill Gates is also working on the MBA program in the software industry," a domestic reporter caught Song Weiyang for an interview, "Do you think Bill Gates can succeed? What about the software industry?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile as he walked out of the venue, "I hope Bill Gates can fail."

Every celebrity is accompanied by many reporters, and Song Weiyang also has several reporters. Hearing what he said, the reporters were very surprised, and one of them rushed to ask: "Why do you want Bill Gates to fail? This project is to train 2,000 top software architects in China, which is to promote China's software industry. Great development."

"Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending not to understand?" Song Weiyang stopped and asked.

"Isn't it?" said the reporter.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Do you think Bill Gates is Bethune, who selflessly contributed to help the Chinese train 2,000 software architects? Not only China, but the global computer software industry has been semi-monopolized by Microsoft. Hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. Microsoft is doing this in China now, nothing more than bringing together the most potential software talents in China, cultivating the top batch of recruits, and leaving some second- and third-rate ones to express their selflessness. In this way, Microsoft can not only control the Chinese software market, but also control the Chinese software talents, and we are sold to help the people. At the same time, Microsoft can also use this cooperation plan to outsource many secondary development projects, and let the Chinese software talents help Microsoft works at a super low price."

The reporters collectively froze, feeling that what Song Weiyang said made sense, but at the same time they were very excited——Song Dapao fired at Bill Gates, and the headlines of tomorrow's science and technology section have come to an end.

"Then do you think Bill Gates' plan can be successful?" A reporter asked.

Song Weiyang said: "It doesn't matter whether it is successful or not. Training 2,000 software architects is just a gimmick. It is to throw out Microsoft's casual work and let domestic software parks do it for him at a low price. Anyway, Microsoft will not suffer. Well, how much the Chinese can learn depends on their own good luck. If there are a few outstanding ones, Microsoft will poach them with high salaries.”

The reporter asked again: "Will Kingsoft choose to cooperate with Microsoft?"

"Never, Jinshan and Microsoft are in a competitive relationship." Song Weiyang was very sure.

Another reporter asked: "WPS used to occupy 95% of the market share in China. After being defeated by Word for a time, it regained a round with WPS97 and regained more than 70% of the market share. But why does WPS appear after WPS2000 and Word2000 were launched at the same time? What about retreating? Last time I asked Mr. Lei, he refused to answer this question."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "He refused to answer, so you came to ask me?"

The reporter laughed and said, "Mr. Song has always been straightforward. We journalists like to deal with you very much."

Song Weiyang said: "wps2000 was not defeated by word2000, but by the pirated version of word2000. Microsoft's office software is pirated casually, and there is no danger of being reported, so those pirates frantically make word2000 installation disks. 2000 yuan If you buy genuine products for 5 yuan, what do you think will happen? Even those who make assembled machines, don’t install them for free. This is what I told Bill Gates on the "Eight People Forum". That sentence, don’t talk about genuine issues in China.”

The reporter asked: "Bill Gates said that this is the biggest gain of his trip, what will Microsoft do next?"

Song Weiyang said with a smile: "Of course, piracy is allowed to be ignored, and the market is cultivated with piracy. When the Chinese market is formalized, everyone has become accustomed to using Microsoft products, and Microsoft can make money lying down."

"Why do you remind Bill Gates that you are not afraid that Jinshan will not turn around?" The reporter asked.

Song Weiyang said: "Because some time ago, I have discussed with Mr. Qiu and Mr. Lei. Kingsoft will launch wps2000x, introduce network interactive functions, and the personal version will be free forever. In addition, Kingsoft Internet Security will also launch a personal version and an enterprise version. Personal antivirus software will also be permanently free."

"Forever free? How does Jinshan make money?" The reporters were shocked.

Song Weiyang smiled and said nothing, and walked out of the venue with big strides.

For ordinary users, wps2000 is actually more practical than Microsoft's office2000.

First of all, the opening speed is faster, and the requirements for the computer are not high, because the content of wps is less-many old and antique computers cannot afford office2000 at all.

Secondly, the interface is more concise and convenient, and the detailed functions are more comprehensive. For example, wps2000 has vertical and right typesetting options, can output chemical formulas, can customize formula formats, and can input Chinese phonetic symbols, euro symbols, etc. These functions are not available in word2000.

The advantage of offecie2000 is that it gives high-end users more choices, a variety of office software types are very comprehensive, and it also has network operation functions-these contents are basically not used by ordinary users.

In general, apart from the network operation, other details of wps2000 have been perfected, but it is still defeated step by step by Microsoft's pirated version.

So some time ago, Song Weiyang held a conference call with Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, and he strongly advocated that the personal version of WPS and Kingsoft Internet Security be permanently free. In any case, it is to seize the market anyway, don't worry about whether it makes money temporarily or not.

Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun disagreed, but Song Weiyang only dropped one sentence: "Broadband will soon be popularized in China, and the download speed of the Internet will be very fast. At that time, let alone whether the genuine version can make money, those pirates will lose their jobs. Users can directly Download online!"

This situation is easy to imagine. In the past, users either bought genuine CDs or pirated CDs. Anyway, they had to spend money to buy them. In the next few years, you only need to connect to the broadband network, click the mouse to download, and you can install and use it without paying a penny. Will pirates lose their jobs?

At that time, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun looked at each other, discussed privately, and agreed to Song Weiyang's permanent free plan.

When the personal version of Kingsoft Antivirus turns into Kingsoft Security Guard and is launched, the leader in red should stop being a 360 security guard and continue to be his 3721 honestly, or it is more appropriate to be the president of Yahoo China with peace of mind. By the way, 3271 has already announced that it is the first Chinese Internet company to achieve profitability this year, ahead of Tencent.

After Song Weiyang's interview was reported, it even overwhelmed Bill Gates in the industry, directly triggering a major earthquake in the software industry.

what to do? Kingsoft Antivirus will be free forever!

This problem is like a mountain, pressing on the top of domestic antivirus software companies such as Rising and Jiangmin.

This is not grabbing a job, this is an overturning of the table.

At the same time, because Song Weiyang directly exposed Bill Gates' plan, it immediately aroused widespread heated discussions in the society, and there were many voices that Microsoft wanted to monopolize China's software industry. The leaders of many institutions and localities hated Song Weiyang so much that they still wanted to use this to make political achievements.

Bill Gates was completely unaffected, and he denied it when asked by reporters, and ran to give a speech.

Although the lecture was scheduled to be held in Shanghai, not only college students from Fudan University, Tongji University and other Shenghai came to listen to it, but even college students from Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Bashu all traveled thousands of miles by train to see it.

There are only two tickets for each class, and there is no way to divide them. The decision is made directly by drawing lots. Other universities in Shenghai also issued tickets. At first, they wanted to distribute them to outstanding students, but they had to draw lots to solve the problem. A ticket to Bill Gates' speech was directly fired to more than 300 yuan, and few were willing to sell it.

Our Dr. Ma gave a speech at the university, and we have never seen such a sensation. There is still a big gap between the richest man in China and the richest man in the world.
