Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

Microsoft did not expect that Kingsoft could launch a new WPS so quickly. Apart from being surprised, it was more disbelief. Du Jiabin even sneered, thinking that Jinshan Company was struggling to its death. Launching a new WPS so quickly is definitely without sincerity and is used to barely save the market.

In such a short period of time, given the size of Jinshan Company, what was taken out must be garbage.

Especially since he recently heard that many employees of Jinshan Company have switched jobs. How can a company that is about to be disbanded come up with any powerful new products.

So Du Jiabin just casually reported this matter to Microsoft headquarters and didn’t take it too seriously.

Soon, the new version of WPS was officially launched on the market.

The new version of WPS costs 1,800 yuan per set. This price is not cheap, but it is much cheaper than the first version of WPS, and even cheaper than Microsoft Office.

If WPS is launched only next year, most of the previous WPS users will be transitioned to WORD6.0 and word97 as their users, but now it is launched more than a year in advance, and the effect is immediately different.

As soon as WPSreborn was launched, Kingsoft’s newly established marketing department quickly mobilized its entire team and started running around.

In the past, Jinshan Company had no one who knew the market. When Pangu components were launched, they simply advertised in various magazines and newspapers. At most, they delivered goods to electronic markets across the country, and waited for others to see the advertisements and come to their homes. Buy, or wait for customers to call for consultation.

But now, the newly established marketing department is taking the initiative with the new WPS. There are Jinshan Company marketing department staff everywhere in various banks, government departments, and large enterprises. They brought WPS to these agencies to sell it door-to-door, and then demonstrated it on site.

In addition, large electronic markets like those in Zhongguancun also have dedicated marketing staff who rent counters to promote WPS. Whenever someone comes in, they always have to drag people to demonstrate WPS to them.

Just to fund the activities of these marketing department staff, the investment cost was 1 million soft girl coins.

Because there are so many salesmen all over the country and all kinds of expenses, if you want to work freely, you have to be reluctant to spend money.

But the effect is also immediate.

In the first week, WPS sold 7,000 units in Dragon Country. Among them, there are the kind that large companies and government agencies come to directly order hundreds of units.

Seven thousand sets a week doesn’t sound like much.

But a set costs 1,800 yuan, and sales have reached more than 12 million yuan.

The main thing is that the new version of WPS is so easy to use. After the staff of the marketing department of those enterprises and institutions demonstrated it on their computers, they were all conquered by the new WPS’s easy-to-use and light functions. Such easy-to-use software is cheaper than Microsoft’s, why not buy it?

Consumers who went to the electronics market and met Kingsoft’s marketing personnel by chance were also very shocked after watching the demonstration.

Some people will spend money to buy it after seeing the demonstration.

In short, after the launch of WPS, the market opened rapidly.

Especially since word-of-mouth has started to build up, many people want to buy a set and try it.

In the second week, WPS sold another 13,000 units, an astonishing sales volume.

Among programmers, the new version of WPS has quickly become a hot topic. Many programmers believe that the new version of WPS is unique, has advanced functions, and is very easy to use. It is an epoch-making software product.

Qiu Bojun developed WPS this time and saved Jinshan Company from collapse. It was really awesome.

However, what surprised the programmers was that when the first version of WPS came out, the name of the author Qiu Bojun was written on the cover of the software. Now, in the new WPS, the cover of the software does not have Qiu Bojun’s name, but becomes The company name of Kingsoft Software Company.

In the third week, WPS sales became better and better, with sales reaching 15,000 units.

This sales volume completely attracted the attention of Microsoft Dragon Country Company.

Du Jiabin looked at an article about the introduction of the new version of WPS in the latest”Computer World” magazine. In a fit of anger, he stood up and slapped the entire magazine on the table. He looked at the person in charge of the marketing department in front of him and became very angry and said,”What on earth is going on?”

The person in charge of the marketing department trembled and said,”We don’t know, this question shouldn’t be asked. We should ask the development department.”

Du Jiabin said loudly:”Get lost.”

The person in charge of the marketing department immediately left in despair.

Du Jiabin paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to report this matter to Microsoft headquarters.

He paced back and forth for more than ten minutes before stopping, then picked up the phone and made an international long distance call to Microsoft headquarters.

He reported what happened at Longguo Market to the headquarters.

Sure enough, the headquarters’ questioning came soon.

“Du, what’s going on? Didn’t it mean that the office is already in the Longguo market? I remember you said before that the software developed by this Dragon Kingdom software company failed before. Doesn’t that mean it is no longer worthy of our attention?”The person he was talking to was his boss at Microsoft headquarters, who started questioning him head-on.

“We originally predicted that this company would have to wait until at least next year to come up with the latest competitive products, but we did not expect that they would develop new products in such a short period of time. Du Jiabin said quickly

“I don’t care about their new products, I just want to know when the market will be regained.”The boss said

“this……”Du Jiabin didn’t know how to answer

“Answer my question directly.”The boss said

“This is difficult, sir. I have used the new products they have developed. To be honest, they are very good. I am afraid I have to tell you some very bad news.”Du Jiabin said,”This new product they developed, I think, in every aspect, has surpassed the word97 we are developing in all aspects. Even if we develop word97 now, we can’t compete with them. word97 is uncompetitive with their new products.”
