Chapter 94 The Old Way of New Jinshan

In the past few years, Kingsoft General Motors has developed very rapidly. From the first few people working hard, it has now grown to a scale of more than 40 people, and a branch company has also been set up in BJ.Under the planning of Li Ruxiong, the marketing manager of BJ Branch, Kingsoft compiled two textbooks, "WPS Easy Learning" and "WPS Classic Tutorial", and released the two textbooks through the publishing house at the right time.With the popularity of teaching materials, WPS has also become popular. Although piracy is still the mainstream, the sales of WPS have also begun to grow rapidly, which not only brought considerable economic benefits to Kingsoft, but also laid a solid foundation for Kingsoft BJ Branch. certain material basis.More importantly, with the successful market operation of WPS, the brand value of Kingsoft General Motors has gradually emerged.

Recalling Kingsoft's growth in recent years, Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai took the elevator to the sixth floor where Kingsoft is located.Birds of a feather flock together, most of the employees who came to Kingsoft General Motors for the prestige of Qiu Bojun are technical development talents, and they are often addicted to work, but Zhang Lexing was a little surprised when he entered the door today.There are only two or three sparse kittens in the office, and they don't seem to be working all the time.Seeing someone push the door and come in, a girl sitting near the door got up and walked over.

"Hello, sir, what can I do?" The girl has long hair in a shawl, is petite and cute, and her voice is soft and soft, which makes people a little intoxicated.

Ma Guanghai coughed, Zhang Lexing regained his composure, and said, "Miss, I'm asking you, is he here today?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu is in a meeting, I'm afraid it's inconvenient right now." The girl said apologetically.

"It's okay, you take my business card in and show it to him, I believe he will have time." Zhang Lexing took out a business card and handed it over.

"Then just wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." The girl carefully took the business card, turned and walked into a room not far away.

In less than a minute, the door of this room that should be a conference room opened again, and Qiu Bojun rushed out from inside.

Seeing Qiu Bojun coming out, Zhang Lexing went up to meet him and said, "Mr. Qiu, what are you busy with?"

"Hey, it's not always the same, let me get used to Qiu Bojun." Qiu Bojun said with a smile.

"Why do you have a meeting so early today? Is there something important?" Zhang Lexing asked curiously.

"It's not a big deal. One is to summarize the successful experience of WPS in promotion, and the other is to discuss the key points of future development. If you are interested, you can also listen to it." Qiu Bojun explained.

"Okay, I just want to meet you too." Zhang Lexing nodded in agreement just as he had the intention.

Before entering the meeting room, Zhang Lexing asked the girl who received him before to bring some newspapers and magazines, and gave them to Ma Guanghai to pass the time, and then walked into the meeting room with Qiu Bojun.The conference room was full of about thirty people. The appearance of Zhang Lexing made many people look around curiously, probably trying to figure out who the person was.

Qiu Bojun took a step aside, and then introduced Zhang Lexing to everyone in the conference room: "Everyone, let me introduce. The person next to me is our company's investor and the company's major shareholder, Mr. Zhang Lexing."

Qiu Bojun took the lead and clapped his hands, and the meeting room immediately burst into crackling applause, but judging from everyone's expressions, it was obvious that they didn't pay much attention to Zhang Lexing, and the applause was just based on a kind of etiquette.It seems that what the technicians really care about may be the technical masters, such as Qiu Bojun. It is estimated that most of the people here are here for him.

Qiu Bojun didn't notice the difference in the expressions of these people, and after helping Zhang Lexing arrange the seats, he continued to chair the meeting.Listening to what everyone said, Zhang Lexing gradually understood. Now everyone should be summarizing the experience in WPS promotion. All the people here are technicians, so naturally the topic is more technical.For example, someone mentioned the issue of printer compatibility, because in these days, plug-and-play technology only exists at the level of technical discussion. It needs to go through a very complicated setting process before it can be used normally, and the printer compatibility mentioned just now is to simplify the printer settings through the functions provided by WPS and support more types of printers, which will make users more convenient to use. WPS promotion is also easier.There are still many topics like this, some talking about menu design, and some talking about the adjustment of typesetting functions. After three or four 10 minutes of communication, the topic began to slowly turn to the future development of WPS.

A thin young man stood up and began to talk: "At present, the WPS we develop is running under the command line operating system Kylin, and it is developing well for the time being, but I think it is not right to continue to make software under this platform. hopefully."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and even a few impatient people glared at him.What he said also aroused Zhang Lexing's interest, and asked Qiu Bojun in a low voice: "Who is this young man? He seems to have a good eye!"

"His name is Lei Jun, he joined Jinshan not long ago this year, and now he is one of the best programmers in the company." Qiu Bojun briefly introduced.

Hearing the familiar name made Zhang Lexing's heart turbulent, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. At this time, Lei Jun looked like a very ordinary young man, and it was hard to imagine that he could achieve such achievements in the future.

Encouraged by Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun continued his speech: "Why do you say that, because the KylinWindows platform is the future direction, and the transfer of software products from the Kylin platform to the KylinWindows platform is the general trend. There are already VisualOffice on the KylinWindows platform. It is a mature product, but the Chinese version has not been launched yet. If we do not use this gap time to catch up, with the popularity of the KylinWindows platform in the future, our WPS will lose all the advantages accumulated so far. Before I came to Jinshan , I stayed in BJ for a while. Last year, Rising Sun Software started KylinWindows promotion activities and held many technical exchange activities. Quite a few software companies have planned to launch their own products on the KylinWindows platform. If we don’t start, I'm afraid it will be too late."

These words should be in line with Qiu Bojun's wishes. As soon as Lei Jun's words fell, Qiu Bojun continued: "I think Lei Jun's words are very reasonable. The future market prospect of office software is very broad, but if we can't wait With the development of technology, it will soon be replaced by others. So I decided that our Kingsoft will also make office software under the Kylin Windows platform.”

With Qiu Bojun’s words finalized, the atmosphere in the conference room became active again. Everyone echoed Qiu Bojun’s opinion, and some even proposed a more ambitious goal, to create an office suite like VisualOffice, which not only includes word processing WPS also needs to add functions such as electronic forms and electronic dictionaries. It is believed that this can enhance the competitiveness of Kingsoft and also resolve the risks that may be brought about by product simplification.

This proposal was quickly approved by everyone including Qiu Bojun, and the topic began to turn to how to achieve this goal, and the atmosphere in the conference room became intense.There are many people and great power. Under the collision of everyone's ideas, Kingsoft's new development path began to slowly take shape.According to the results of the discussion, Kingsoft will concentrate most of its development strength on the spreadsheet software under the KylinWindows platform. This part of the work will be assigned to the BJ branch, led by Lei Jun, and the Shenzhen side will be responsible for making a Chinese version of KylinWindows. For the platform, the name of the platform is very poetic, called Jinshan Haoyue. After completing the first two parts, we will develop WPS and some additional functions under the KylinWindows platform.In order to create a different feeling from the Kylin platform, it was decided to use a more imposing new name. After everyone’s analysis and research, they finally chose the imposing name “Pangu”, because everyone felt that what they were about to do was to create a new world. matter.

The people of Jinshan General Motors were excited, and Zhang Lexing began to feel a little nervous. Why did such an unreliable thing happen again? Faced with this situation, Zhang Lexing could no longer stand idly by.

"Everyone, please interrupt. Everyone's suggestions are very good, but it's better to be more cautious when making such an important decision." Zhang Lexing said.

"Believe in our technical strength, we can be said to be the leader in domestic office software. As long as we want to do it, we will be successful." Qiu Bojun said a little excitedly.

Everyone is very emotional, Zhang Lexing is not good at pouring cold water, so he can only offer some suggestions: "I believe everyone can make it, but the company's developers are not too many, and most of them are transferred to work on unfamiliar spreadsheet software. It has an impact on other functional modules. It is better to concentrate on making a WPS under the Kylin Windows platform to occupy a part of the market, and then gradually add other functions. If you really need spreadsheet software, in order to speed up the development progress, can you consider cooperating with other companies? For example, the CCED by Zhu Chongjun of BJ seems to be pretty good, can you contact him, invite him to join or cooperate with him. In addition, as for the Chinese platform, can you contact Wang Zhidong who wrote BDwin, after all, he already has It has established a certain foundation. This can also speed up the product development progress, and it is easier to deploy manpower.”

It's a pity that Zhang Lexing miscalculated the mentality of Jinshan developers who are already in the leading position. At this time, they are already a little conceited, including the leader Qiu Bojun, who think that Jinshan is omnipotent, as long as they want to do, there is nothing wrong of.Naturally, Zhang Lexing's kind reminder was selectively ignored by them, and the wheel of history was still stubbornly turning in the established direction.

Of course, Zhang Lexing can also use his authority as an investor to forcibly stop this project. After all, Jinshan GM’s finances are in his own hands, but this will only lead to the early collapse of Jinshan GM and the disintegration of its personnel. Such consequences are not Zhang Lexing’s want.That being the case, Zhang Lexing simply stopped talking too much, and let them make trouble, anyway, as long as Kingsoft is still there.Of course, Zhang Lexing also has the mentality of expecting a miracle. After all, the current Jinshan General Company is stronger than the previous Jinshan. Although the decision is the same, it may produce better results.With a slightly regretful mood and silent blessings, Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai left Kingsoft.

In the following days, Zhang Lexing stayed in Shenzhen for a period of time to inspect the operation of other industries.Now is the period when learning machines are popular and game machines are being suppressed. Under the leadership of the Pyramid learning machine manufacturer, the learning machine alliance in the south is developing very rapidly, and it has almost reached the point where nine out of every ten learning machines on the market are produced. The production plant under the Learning Machine Alliance, and the remaining share is divided by several small brands from the north.With the rapid popularization of learning machines, a huge educational software market has also emerged. Yulefang Software Development Co., Ltd., which has moved to Shenzhen, occupies a large market share, not only establishing its own market leading position, but also Some educational software standards have been formed. Even if there are several new companies established to catch up with the trend, they still cannot affect the growing influence of the Yulefang brand.

Taking advantage of the upsurge of foreign investment, the construction of a large-scale animation and game peripheral production base project led by Hong Kong Kunpeng Animation and followed by many Hong Kong and mainland enterprises has started.The construction of the base is expected to invest 8 million yuan. After completion, it will be able to accommodate hundreds of production and related supporting enterprises. According to the model of Hong Kong design, Shenzhen production, and sales to overseas, it is expected to form a production scale of billions.During Zhang Lexing’s stay in Shenzhen, he happened to be in time for the celebration of the topping-out of the factory building at the base. The scene of the event was full of gongs and drums, crowds of people, and many leaders and brains from the city also came. After a long speech, the ribbon-cutting ceremony finally began. Another big base for the future industry is slowly taking shape.
