Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 481 [Software and Hardware]

Beijing, Jinshan Software Company.

Accompanied by Qiu Bojun and Rebs, Lin Zuhui visited the office building.

"Mr. Lin, we currently have a total of 28 technical R&D personnel, and we all work together to develop the word processing software WPS94 based on the Windows platform," Qiu Bojun introduced seriously.

Lin Zuhui said: "Have you continued to recruit talents in this area?"

Qiu Bojun immediately said: "Yes, our goal is to bring together software experts from all over China to build the future of China's software."

Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Microsoft in the United States has thousands of people, and Oracle has thousands of people. So 100 people is not our goal, our goal should be 1000 people. Of course, I am talking about long-term goals. You don’t need to worry about funds, our company is very optimistic about the software market in the Mainland, and will not be stingy about investing.”

Although Kingsoft is not his company, he is just a major shareholder, but he values ​​it very much.The technological products of software and hardware are his secret layout, which is related to the level of technological progress of the Chinese, and can also bring huge profits to Lin Zuhui, so he is very concerned about the development of this aspect.

Qiu Bojun said cautiously: "Mr. Lin, the domestic software market has a lot of pirated copies, and the market prospect is not as good as that of 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 enable companies to support wars with wars. They can also engage in anti-virus software, translation software, etc. Software, no less promising than WPS!"

WPS could hardly compete with Microsoft in the 90s, and Lin Zuhui paid more attention to Kingsoft as a game agent in the future.

After all the investors had spoken, Qiu Bojun naturally said happily: "Okay, we must diversify the development of the software market."

Next, Lin Zuhui visited and used WPS software, and "casually" put forward some usage opinions, such as what functions, fonts, layout, and functions, just like a designer, immediately attracted Rebs and others to ask for advice.

It turns out that the WPS of this era does not have many functions, and the layout is simple; and the office word processing software mentioned by Lin Zuhui is like a dream product, which shocked everyone for a while.

In the end, Lin Zuhui had no choice but to say with a smile: "I'm in the Arabian Nights. I don't know if technology can do it. Just listen to it."

Rebus said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, technology is gradually accumulated, but the functions you mentioned are very popular. If they are really developed, they must be very good products."

It can be said that although Lin Zuhui does not understand technology, the humanized and multi-functional opinions put forward are like treasures; if Kingsoft can handle the stability of Windows, then WPS will be the most beneficial for WORD to enter the mainland in 1995 competitors.

"Then let's work hard! As an investor, we can add more investment funds at any time."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin!"

In fact, the acquisition of WPS did not cost any money, because the version of WPS currently on the market still belongs to the original Jinshan company.They just spun off the original Kingsoft and paid less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

For the last stop, Lin Zuhui returned to Xiaomi Science and Technology Park.

The sales of VCDs in the mainland are completely different from those in the previous life, which made Lin Zuhui couldn't help wondering whether Wan Yan would advertise in the previous life. No wonder the colleagues laughed at them, "Can't tell what a VCD is?" ', and at the beginning, Wanyan's VCD discs had no feature films, but were all karaoke discs.

Came to Zou Kaixuan's office, Lin Zuhui sat in her place, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been very good recently!"

Zou Kaixuan came to Lin Zuhui and said, "There are indeed a lot of honors, but you gave them to me!"

Lin Zuhui said: "We can be regarded as lovers, so we should stop talking politely in the future."

"Well, I listen to you!"

Lin Zuhui didn't care about these either, he knew that Zou Kaixuan was very loyal and adored to him.

He went on to ask: "When dealing with the government and the media, you must disclose that the money Xiaomi Technology earns in the Mainland will definitely continue to invest in the technology industry in the Mainland. In this way, we are equivalent to positioning ourselves Mainland enterprises have raised their corporate image. As for whether the funds are really invested in the Mainland, you can actually dispose of them yourself, and they can’t interfere.”

This is just a slogan, so as not to make too much money and make people jealous.

Of course, the fact is the same. Investment in the Mainland will be the focus in the future; the real return will have to wait after the 21st century.

Zou Kaixuan nodded and said, "Well, I've been talking about it, and Xiaomi Technology will invest heavily in the technology industry."

At present, the sales volume of VCD players is rising steadily, and the monthly global sales volume is about 6000 units; because Japanese manufacturers are still unable to make them, it is equivalent to Xiaomi selling VCD players in the market.

However, once Japanese brands hit the market, it will be very difficult to compete overseas. After all, Japanese home appliances are too powerful.

As for the mainland, Xiaomi Technology will not be afraid at all.

The advertisement is very well done, and the popularity is the highest!
The current CCTV advertisements are still very cheap, and you can buy them at prime time for 300 to [-] million yuan, and I am afraid that they will have to double every year in the future.

In this day and age, when people in the mainland buy things, their first choice is whoever advertises well, and quality and after-sales service are second.Especially in terms of quality and after-sales, they don't know how to protect their rights.

Therefore, there are many mainland brands that 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 want to occupy the market first.

But Xiaomi Technology is different. It not only pays attention to marketing, but also pays attention to quality after-sales, because Lin Zuhui's goal is to create a real technology giant.

Companies as far away as Japan, such as Sony, Panasonic, and JVC, are developing VCD players one after another, so as to take the opportunity to enter the market.

However, they soon discovered that Xiaomi Technology had applied for a 'VCD player patent', and if they wanted to enter the VCD market in China, they had to pay a royalty of US$15 for the whole machine.

Now they quit and complained to the mainland authorities one after another. As you can imagine, there is no need to discuss this matter at all; because the background of Xiaomi Technology is strong enough.

Sony thought it was the "Walkman" back then. Although the Walkman was invented by Europeans, Sony took the Europeans to court instead, and the two reconciled after the millennium.

But Xiaomi Technology is obviously not easy to mess with!
It is absolutely impossible for Xiaomi's advertisements to be done for others. Originally, "the first person to eat crabs" should almost always be the best in this industry, such as Nissin Ramen; enterprises.
