The perfect life of rebirth

Qiu Bojun is the first generation of real programmers in China, and some even say that he is the first real programmer in China. In the 90s, when the Chinese software industry still advocated individual heroism, Qiu Bojun was definitely the first generation of programmers in the world at that time. The idol in the heart of all programmers in China.Qiu Bojun is arrogant, of course he has the capital of pride, because in the land of China in the 90s, wherever there is a computer, there will be a wps with his name printed on the startup screen.Even in the eyes of many people, using a computer means using wps, and it is unbelievable to claim to be able to use a computer without knowing wps.

For Qiu Bojun, his WPS represents the highest level of Chinese PC software in this era, so there are not many software works that can catch his eye, or even none.But one afternoon in the late autumn of 91, a letter from the Central Plains Province in northern China brought him a big surprise.

When he opened the letter, there was a piece of paper with a sentence printed on it: "Hello, Mr. Qiu Bojun, please contact me if you are interested after reading the software and documents on the floppy disk. I am from Zhongyuan Province. Mrs. Li from Fenghuang Township Middle School in Shangyang City."

Qiu Bojun laughed. He thought it was another junk software designed by some pretentious so-called programming expert. Since his WPS was a big success, he would occasionally receive similar letters, mostly pretentious ones. The so-called high-quality software designed by programmers.He inserted the floppy disk into the floppy drive of his computer, typed a few commands, and browsed the contents of the floppy disk. There was a wps file and a directory. After entering the directory, he found that one of them had been compiled. There is no source code attached to the software sent by those programming masters.

Qiu Bojun typed in the startup command of this software after the computer command line, and the computer screen suddenly changed, a rotating Tai Chi pattern appeared in the center of the screen, and the bottom of the screen read: Tai Chi word processing system, below the text is a system loading progress Further down, the lower left corner of the screen reads: Author: Mr. Li exclusive copyright.The system progress bar quickly scrolled to [-] percent. As the screen changed again, a software with an interface that surprised Qiu Bojun appeared in front of him. A dialog box popped up suddenly, prompting whether to automatically load the software into a floppy disk. The wps document.

Qiu Bojun clicked yes, and then the wps document stored in the floppy disk was also loaded into the software. The title of the document was "Desktop Office System, Future Battlefield". Looking at the software and documents in front of him, Qiu Bojun thought to himself : "The interface of this software is really beautiful, but I don't know how it works. I don't want the embroidered pillow to be rich on the outside and dirty on the inside. Let's read the documentation first."

The document first analyzes the current development status of the ibmpc operating system in the world, and then points out that with the gradual acceleration of the civilianization of pc, it can be foreseen that within five years, ibmpc and its compatible machines will become popular as personal computers in the true sense. By that time, mainstream users of computers will no longer be limited to current universities, scientific research institutions or certain government agencies.With the popularization of computer users, whether an operating system is simple, easy, and beautiful enough to use will become an important factor for whether this operating system can become the mainstream of the market, followed by the advanced technology and security of the operating system.

Computer graphical interface undoubtedly has unique advantages. In terms of operating system graphics, although other companies have launched several finished products, the scope of application of these operating systems is not in the field of PCs. In the field of PCs, Microsoft has already begun to lead the way. According to the development of this situation, once Microsoft one day releases a set of operating system with a complete graphical interface in the true sense by virtue of its long-term development and exploration, it will rely on the powerful technology alliance between Microsoft and Intel to quickly Monopolize the PC graphics operating system market, and may grow into a super software empire.

As one of the most important software for PCs, the desktop office system also has such a problem. With the popularization of PCs, the desktop office system will face the same problem. Simple, easy to use, and intuitive will become a measure of a desktop office system. important factor for success.

The article then analyzes the development of the current desktop office system worldwide, and points out that graphics is also an inevitable development trend of the desktop office system. With the widespread popularization of PCs, the future desktop office system market will be a very Big market, it is big enough to make any computer company in the world three feet vertically, and this market is still in the development stage. There is no doubt that in China, the word processing system wps, which is one of the important components of the desktop office system, has already gone. It is at the forefront of the times, but if wps does not innovate, then while Microsoft successfully monopolizes the PC operating system market, it will definitely take aim at this cake for a while, and then rely on the unique advantages of its own operating system. The market that wps has worked so hard to win has been devoured, and the future will be an era where only Microsoft office is seen, but no wps.So in order to win the war without gunpowder that is coming in a few years, we need to start preparing now...

If the above analysis and predictions are based solely on some emptiness, Mrs. Li had already foreseen this when writing this document, so he used a certain amount of space in the article to discuss the Tai Chi article in front of Qiu Bojun. The processing system has been introduced in detail from the design concept to the realized functions and operation methods. Of course, Li Kang also mentioned the Chinese card problem used by the current domestic word processing system. The design of the Taiji word processing system uses an advanced The unique design mechanism enables Taiji word processing system to intelligently recognize the current domestic mainstream Hanka interface, and automatically call the corresponding Hanka driver for processing.However, in the article, Li Kang also mentioned that Hanka is only a phased product of the current computer hardware development. With the continuous upgrading of computer hardware, Hanka will be eliminated in the next three to five years. Therefore, the word processing system The design is the core.

At the end of the document, if Qiu Bojun asks him to make a multiple-choice question after fully understanding the functions and features of the Taiji word processing system, which one will he choose to buy if the two have the same price now.

Qiu Bojun quickly read the entire content of the document, and then according to the introduction of the document, he tried out the functions of Taiji characters one by one. He was skeptical about the various predictions mentioned in the article at the beginning, and later became convinced. As a senior computer software expert, his horizons are broad, and he understands everything described in the document, but he has not thought about this issue at a deeper level, nor has he thought about Microsoft's disaster that may happen in a few years. The desktop office system will fully dominate the desktop office system market, which is unacceptable to him, because he has poured too much emotion into wps, and wps is like his child, but for the question raised by Mrs. Li at the end of the article, Although emotionally unacceptable, he still had a choice.

As Qiu Bojun gradually became familiar with the Taiji word processing system, he became more and more interested in Li Kang, a magical programmer who can develop such a complete graphical interface software. The knight is eager to have an opponent who can talk to him on an equal footing, so now he can't wait to meet this amazing programmer.

When Qiu Bojun turned off the computer, took out the floppy disk from the computer, put it in his briefcase and came out of the office, it was completely dark, and he sat in the office for more than two hours before he knew it. .

The next day, Qiu Bojun began to arrange the work of the wps research and development team for this period of time. One day after he had arranged all the work in hand, he resolutely set foot on the train to the Central Plains alone, and began to search for the mysterious Programmer Li Kang's journey.

…………

Just when Qiu Bojun arranged his own work and was about to come to visit Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, Ma Jun, and Huang Xiaosan were huddling among the bustling crowd at the temple fair in Fenghuang Village. A temple fair begins.
