Chapter 1095 Please change your name

In fact, Qiu Bojun came here today because he had something to do, but he didn't come here specifically to find Su Chen, he just came to find Su Chen along the way.

He also knew about the sudden change of general manager of Pangu Technology, and he only paid attention to this guy who made a lot of money when he came up.

I also know through the circle that the real controller of Pangu Technology is Su Chen, so I came to Su Chen directly at the first stop when I came to the capital from Zhuhai.

Last year, Microsoft entered China.

At the beginning, Microsoft was still an allied force, a major client of Kingsoft, and Kingsoft helped Microsoft to Chineseize.

When Microsoft proposed "whether WPS is compatible with Word in the document", Qiu Bojun agreed naively and foolishly, but only found out after 2 months that Microsoft was the enemy at all, and snatched away more than half of more than 2000 million yuan.

Zhang Xuanlong, the boss of Jinshan, was stunned, and Qiu Bojun was also stunned.

Later, when Microsoft developed Windows 95, it killed Netscape, the largest browser at that time, because it was bound to the IE browser.

History is always so strikingly similar, the same tricks, different opponents.

Gates uses it with great skill.

WPS suddenly turned from prosperity to decline, Jinshan was in chaos, Qiu Bojun yelled "Fight", he asked Rebus to be his comrade in arms, and the two were gearing up to develop new products.

Qiu Bojun's first move was to create a set of products similar to the Office suite, named Pangu Components, which contained WPS, electronic watches and dictionaries.

But instead of following the very appealing name of WPS, it took a different approach and took the name of 'Pangu'.

All the financial resources and manpower have been put into "Pangu", which is a hundred times more powerful than Qiu Bojun's WPS1.0 era.

As a result, the program hadn't come out yet, and suddenly it was discovered that there was a company called Pangu Technology in the capital.

This made him feel as if he was making a wedding dress for someone else.

So on the way to find Rebus, I decided to visit Su Chen first.

"Chairman Su, I heard that you are developing new systems and chips?" Qiu Bojun asked.

Su Chen nodded, "Your information is very accurate. We are indeed developing new operating systems and chips, as well as a brand new ecosystem."

"Then I wonder if your system is built around the X86 architecture?" Qiu Bojun asked again, because the Pangu components he is currently developing are built around Microsoft.

At the beginning of this year, users at home and abroad have been waiting for the Windows version of WPS, eager to realize WPS operation in the Windows environment.

Although the largest customers of their Pangu components are users with Windows systems, if one more computer vendor can install their software, it will be a new way out for Pangu components.

Because he felt that Kingsoft's products were too single, and it was too risky to place the company's lifeline only on WPS, he wanted to expand the company's product line.

It would be the best thing to be able to access this Pangu technology.

Su Chen shook his head: "I don't know much about computers, but I can still answer your question. We have not obtained the X86 architecture license from Intel. What we want to do is an embedded system.

And I believe you should also hear about our Pangu project. As I said just now, we have to redefine and build from the chip to the operating system to the ecosystem.

Secondly, I have heard about your company that you are researching Pangu components, but if you all put the lifeblood of the company on this, I think the risk is very high.

Why not disperse some people to undertake our outsourcing services?Because we will develop a lot of interesting and fun things next. "

"Interesting and interesting things?" Qiu Bojun didn't understand for a moment.

His current thoughts are highly similar to those of Rebus Shi Yuzhu and others, because in their minds of a generation of programmers, computers are more used for office work.

Never thought of using it in any other way.

"Yes, interesting and fun." Su Chen asked him, "Do you think computers are only suitable for office work?"

Qiu Bojun nodded subconsciously!

Su Chen smiled: "I don't think so, in fact, when I met Shi Yuzhu a few years ago, I also told him that computers are not just for office work.

So we will develop many programs in the future, such as instant chat, online games, forums, audio and video, browsers, drawing and so on. "

"How is this possible?" Qiu Bojun's eyes widened.

His reaction was exactly the same as that of Shi Yuzhu back then.

I feel that the guy in front of me is talking nonsense, and what he said is inexplicable, completely confusing.

Su Chen said: "Perhaps in your opinion, you may feel that you are not doing your job properly, but a computer should not only be used for office work, in my vision, it should have the functions of office and entertainment.

Just like the instant chat I just mentioned, we develop a program, and then install it on our system. Everyone registers an account, and then they can communicate instantly through the screen, without the need to send and receive emails like we do. There is a waiting time.

Moreover, this program also supports multiple people to chat online at the same time, and also supports the registration of hundreds of millions of accounts, and then the two parties can add accounts to each other, so that they can chat anytime, anywhere. "

After listening to Su Chen's words, Qiu Bojun realized that he was still too young.

Originally, he thought that his Pangu plan was already grand.

It turned out that the other party's Pangu plan was even more ambitious and crazy.

Crazy enough to redefine the way computers are used.

"Maybe you think our plan is crazy, but I can tell you that we have built more than one hundred R&D centers around the world." Su Chen continued, "Even with a rough calculation, there are at least tens of thousands of programs. members to join our program.”

Qiu Bojun was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

A little numb, he picked up his teacup and drank tea.

"The Pangu component you are developing now happens to have the same name as our company, so why don't I pay for it." Su Chen said again, "In this way, you will have another way out. Even if you are facing Microsoft, you don't have to worry about it." will crash."

"Ah?" Qiu Bojun felt that he really couldn't keep up with Su Chen's thoughts, and he didn't react for a while.

Su Chen said: "I mean, I bought the source code of your set of components, because it is definitely inappropriate for a company as big as ours to suddenly change its name.

Moreover, you are from Kingsoft, so you changed your name to Pangu Components instead of continuing to use the appealing name of WPS, which is a taboo in business. "

Qiu Bojun suddenly fell silent.

He really didn't want to buy it, and he didn't want to change his name.

So he seemed very embarrassed for a while. He felt that although he knew computers well, he couldn't keep up with his train of thought in front of this person who didn't know computers at all.

"Chairman Su, it's a bit difficult to change the name." Qiu Bojun felt wronged, because he didn't know that the company would be named Pangu.

It's like coming here to touch porcelain.

Qiu Bojun was very speechless, he could touch porcelain.

Su Chen did not force him to sell the source code of Pangu components to himself, but it is not appropriate to not change the name.

After thinking about it seriously, he said, "How about this, you write another Pangu component based on our platform, and the one you wrote before is still called WPS, otherwise people will think it was written by our company."

Qiu Bojun thought about it carefully, feeling aggrieved, and finally nodded.

Because he also felt that it was inappropriate not to change the name, but it was feasible to write Pangu components.

So he asked a lot of questions about the system, but Su Chen didn't know anything about it, so he simply took him to Pangu Technology and handed Qiu Bojun over to Zhou Wei to deal with.

I don't know if Qiu Bojun will feel like quitting when he sees his huge R&D personnel.

When Mr. Su was humming how lonely Invincibility is, someone suddenly jumped out, and the other party was quite powerful and aggressive...
