Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

When Du Jiabin’s boss heard this, he became angry and said:”What did you say? How is it possible that a small company in Longguo can develop software that is more powerful than our Microsoft? Make no mistake, our Microsoft only develops the Chinese version of Word There are 200 developers in the company! Didn’t you say that the small company you mentioned was about to be dissolved?”

Du Jiabin said in a low voice:”I don’t know much about that, but I heard that they recently received a financing.”

“Du, the company sent you to Longguo in the hope that you can help the company win the Longguo market. You must handle this matter for me.”The boss said angrily.

“Sir, how about I send their new version back to the headquarters and let the development department study it? I’m not shirking responsibility. But I think there is no need to continue with the word97 we are developing now. It cannot be solved in one sentence. If we cannot develop more competitive products, the situation will continue to get worse.” Du Jiabin said

“You trash.”The boss said angrily.

“Sir, I will send you their software.”After Du Jiabin finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to seize back the market, it’s just that his product is far different from WPS, and he’s still competing at their home court. This market can be taken back if he can?

Du Jiabin clearly knows that this market has to be left behind. Even if you come up with a product that has exactly the same functions as WPS, you will definitely not be able to compete with others because Word cannot adapt to the usage habits of Longguo people. The floppy disk of WPS reborn was sent to Microsoft headquarters.

Soon, this floppy disk shocked the engineers in Microsoft’s office development department.

They didn’t know how WPS could make such a powerful office software in such a small size. Very practical function, they all think the idea is great

“This software is very powerful. I don’t know what kind of team made it.”

“This auto-save function is so useful. I think we should develop a similar function.”

“Is my word97 under development completely defeated? Is it still necessary to develop it?”

“It would be great if there was source code”

“I really want to meet the developers of this software and pay tribute to them.”

The opinions given by the Microsoft Development Department came out quickly. Word97 has no competitiveness in front of WPS, and there is no need to develop along the current ideas. However, WPS gave them some inspiration. They can try to imitate WPS, but in 1997 Years ago, there was definitely no product that could compete with WPS.

After hearing this result, Microsoft’s executives couldn’t believe that they were actually defeated by a small company in Longguo?

…………

The sales of WPSreborn are still booming, of course, the increase has stabilized. Because the first batch of software enthusiasts and the main buyers have already bought it, WPS sales will stabilize next.

Later, we still need to rely on deep cultivation of the large customer market and converting original office users into WPS users.

Although sales have gone through a period of rapid growth, because of the good reputation, sales of 20,000 units per month will still be stable in the future.

Microsoft has been having a hard time recently. In the Chinese word processing market, they have abandoned their armor. WORD 6.0 has been beaten and retreated. The launch will be delayed by one year and major changes will be required.

Before the new version of Microsoft Word comes out, WPS will be the absolute king in the field of Chinese word processing in Longguo.

Nowadays, the sales of Microsoft’s office suite rely entirely on other components such as spreadsheets to support sales.

The success of WPS allowed Kingsoft to suddenly turn around, with sales reaching an astonishing 45,000 units in the first month.

This number is scary, because when WPS was launched in 1997, a total of 13,000 units were sold in the first two months, and now it is 45,000 units a month.

There are many reasons why it sells so well, such as excellent quality, price falling instead of increasing, good market performance, etc. However, Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun and others still did not expect to be able to sell such a terrifying sales volume.

One set sells for 1,800 yuan, and sales of 45,000 sets have reached a huge 80 million yuan.

Although the distribution costs, publicity, and money to retailers have to be deducted, the profit for this wave is still around 60 million.

Qiu Bojun naturally informed Lin Shen of this matter as soon as possible.

On the phone, Qiu Bojun’s voice was very excited. After all, it was the first time for him to see so much money.

“Mr. Lin, we are rich.”Qiu Bojun said excitedly

“Haha, I probably know some news too.” Lin Shen said with a smile.

All the office software at Fudan University have also purchased the new version of WPS, which is much easier to use than Word. Lin Shen knows that WPS is praised every day in various computer-related books and newspapers. Sold out

“Mr. Lin, do you know how many sets of WPS we sold in the first month? How much money did you make?”Qiu Bojun said excitedly

“How many? Lin Shen said casually

“Forty-five thousand units sold! Profit of 60 million! Our company is registered in Zhongguancun. High-tech companies are exempt from income tax for the first two years. Although we have exceeded the two years, we still enjoy certain tax exemption policies. We got at least more than 40 million! Qiu Bojun couldn’t suppress his excitement,”Lei Jun, he was so happy that he went crazy. He has never seen so much money.””

“Okay, that’s pretty good. Keep up the good work and keep working hard. Lin Shen encouraged

“Mr. Lin, are you unhappy?”Qiu Bojun heard that Lin Shen didn’t seem so excited and asked

“Haha, have you seen the recent Yahoo stock price? It has risen to 75 US dollars per share. Lin Shen said

“Well……”Qiu Bojun was stunned. Oh my god, the 40 million earned by Kingsoft this time is nothing compared to the money Lin Shen earned from investing in Yahoo! Lin Shen was not very excited at all.
