Top of the big era

In China, Microsoft has always been the target of collective crusade by the technology community.

Mainly some academic scientists.

Another incident happened recently, which put a lot of pressure on Microsoft. Zhang Yaqin, the newly appointed chairman of Microsoft China, had to come forward to explain it non-stop.

Microsoft has created a set of XML standards for its office software, and intends to promote it as an international standard, so that developers all over the world can use this standard, which can make more products have better compatibility, and also It is beneficial to use energy in one place and jointly promote technological progress.

Of the 30 members of ISO's IT joint technical committee, 20 voted in favor and 10 opposed.

Opposition voices mainly come from domestic forces.

Our country has been seeking breakthroughs in the software field, but Microsoft is the world's number one software giant, standing there like a mountain. But the problem is that Windows is the most important operating system in the world, and developers are willing to develop around Windows.

In this regard, some people in the scientific community have stood up.

Academician Ni, an IT scientist who likes to show his face the most, said: "Microsoft's standard only supports the Windows platform. If it becomes an international standard, it will strengthen Windows' monopoly in the operating system field and seriously endanger the development of domestic operating systems."

This is a big truth.

But the next sentence made people dumbfounded. He said, "With the support of the national 863 plan, domestic Office is now mature. Domestic Office products include Yongzhong, Jinshan, Chinese 2000, Puhua, Gongchuang, Xinhua, Instant products can replace Microsoft Office. If you want to write a business plan, quote a lot of data calculated by electronic tables, or write thousands of pages of large documents, some domestic Office is better than Microsoft Office. Our country has It’s time to have the strength to say no to Microsoft.”

The Internet circle is silent.

There have been voices in the software circle, mainly technical objections to the XML protocol, believing that Microsoft keeps secrets and has not shared many confidential technologies. Once XML is standardized, it will benefit Microsoft's technological hegemony, requiring Microsoft to decrypt, share technology, and so on.

But Mr. Ni's voice made the software industry collectively dumbfounded.

No such bragging.

Even the best domestic WPS is far from being able to compare with Microsoft Office.

Say no to Microsoft, and the consequences are serious.

This is no longer an issue at the technological level, but at the political, diplomatic, and livelihood levels.

There are pirated software all over the country, what should I do?

The simplest point is that computer companies such as Founder, Lenovo, Tongfang, and Haier are all listed companies. Should the computers sold by these companies be installed with genuine Windows systems?

In the European and American markets, a genuine system costs $270.

The domestic price is very cheap, and it costs 900 yuan.

If these computers are equipped with genuine operating systems, who will pay for this cost? In the end, isn't it the consumer who pays the bill? A small non-listed company like Shenzhou is okay, its finances are not disclosed, and Microsoft can't sue.

But those listed companies are very troublesome.

At that time, it will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in the price of computers of domestic regular large enterprises, which is a big pool of billions a year. Take the money of ordinary people in China to support Microsoft? Being patriotic requires rationality, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

The authorities acted quickly to control public opinion.

It is okay to oppose Microsoft, this is the correct general direction, but it must be controlled within a reasonable range, only discuss standard technical issues, and do not engage in expansion.

Zhou Buqi also received a notice from the relevant department, and secretly sighed in his heart.

This matter has been hyped up, and it is not so easy to control it.

Especially those scientists, who claim to be the country and the people in order to develop the domestic technology industry, are all thinking that if we drive away Microsoft, our own products can thrive.

Google has been driven away, what has become of Baidu?

In short, this year's domestic technology industry will inevitably have a big battle with Microsoft.

Anyway, Zhou Buqi did not participate in this matter, so as not to step on the thunder in the future and be complained by his peers. The disaster caused by academic scientists has nothing to do with private enterprises.

The order goes on and asks all executives not to talk about Microsoft.

At this time, I received a call from Li Yanhong from Baidu.

Zhou Buqi thought he wanted to talk about Microsoft, but unexpectedly, the other party said Baidu Hi.

"Technically incompatible?"

"right."

"really!"

Zhou Buqi laughed out loud, what was supposed to come finally came.

Li Yanhong sighed, "You are still laughing, this is not normal market competition."

Zhou Buqi said lightly: "Don't look for me, it's not Helo that is technically incompatible with Baidu Hi, why are you complaining to me, you didn't file a record?"

"Um……"

Li Yanhong sighed, feeling very helpless.

Zhou Buqi said: "Then there's nothing you can do. It's not like you don't know what happened to us when we promoted Helo. I also reminded you that chat software is not easy to do. Unless you can be like me, Spend 10 billion to enter the market. I read Baidu Hi, the interface is simple and fresh, there is no advertisement, it is bundled with Baidu Tieba, and the design is very good. However, a good product may not be successful.”

Baidu Hi is doing pretty well now, and the biggest force behind it is Baidu Tieba.

For example, when a user plays "Li Yiba", he needs to keep opening the webpage, enter the webpage to browse posts, and reply to other people's messages. It is easy to use Baidu Hi directly.

Baidu Post Bar is to Baidu Hi, just like Friends.com is to Helo.

Formed a public discussion platform.

On Baidu Hi, users can conveniently view other people's messages to themselves, and quickly reply on the client. If you want to check new posts, you can directly enter the website through the shortcut of the client.

Li Yanhong was silent for a while, and said bravely, "Well...cough cough, how did Helo solve this kind of thing when it encountered it?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "How did you solve it? You can check it? Some things are commercial secrets, so I can't disclose them."

Of course Li Yanhong investigated it, and said angrily, "Why don't I make antivirus software too!"

Zhou Buqi sneered and said, "Boss Li, you know what you did on Baidu Hi. There are some things that I haven't mentioned, but it doesn't mean I don't know. I will let go of my suspicions, repay my grievances with virtue, and use Helo to help you." Promotion. If you still regard Ziweixing as a competitor, then I can’t help it. Even Buddhism, there will be Vajra Anger! At that time, it will not only be QQ that is technically incompatible with Baidu Hi, but also Helo!”

Li Yanhong knew the kid's bad temper, and said with a smile, "No, I'm just kidding you. But... well, it won't work like this, it's not conducive to the healthy development of the instant messaging market."

Zhou Buqi said: "I'm just a businessman. I can only do it with a clear conscience and let Helo and Baidu Hi coexist peacefully. As for how other companies operate, I can't do anything about it."

Li Yanhong said cheekily: "QQ and Helo are perfectly compatible, why not...cough cough, how about you help me out and make peace?"

"I can't do it."

Zhou Buqi refused without hesitation.

There is quite a feeling in my heart that things are right and wrong.

Good luck and bad luck, it's really hard to say!

In this life, Baidu Hi got a big leg of Helo. With the strong promotion ability of the gold coin wallet system and the promotion of its own platform, it quickly accumulated more than 4 million users.

The speed of development is much faster than in the previous life!

However, troubles arose one after another.

The indirect technical incompatibilities that would have waited until a few months later appeared early.

Mandatory blocking of such things is too unfriendly.

Therefore, the incompatibility between QQ and Baidu Hi does not happen all the time, but happens occasionally. When the user logs in to QQ, and then tries to log in to Baidu Hi, the words "Network cannot be connected" will appear occasionally.

Although it is occasional, the timeline can be lengthened, and users' dissatisfaction with Baidu Hi can be accumulated and magnified layer by layer.

Zhou Buqi suddenly thought of something.

Fu Hongliang came to report a few days ago, saying that Baidu Hi has a web version, that is, users can use Baidu Hi to chat online directly on Baidu Space and Baidu Tieba.

At that time, Zhou Buqi also laughed at the poor quality of Baidu's product managers.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

Baidu should have expected it.

The client is easy to be targeted and technically incompatible. After all, Helo had a similar experience at the beginning. But the web page is fine, no matter how powerful the interference technology is, it will not affect the use of the web page.

Hearing Zhou Buqi's resolute refusal, Li Yanhong was not surprised, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Next, I will communicate with that side."

"I wish you success."

"If communication fails, we will countermeasures."

Li Yanhong said coldly.

Zhou Buqi almost laughed when he heard this.

OK!

Counter good!

You two fight, the fiercer the better. Penguin used QQ to attack Baidu Hi; Baidu used its own search status to attack Penguin's website.

What a fight between snipe and clam!

Li Yanhong obviously didn't want him to be a fisherman, "What about you? Do you want to come together?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I oppose all unfair competition methods. Whether it is Baidu or QQ, I will treat each other equally and be friendly. Ziweixing's traffic will help Baidu to promote, and will also provide services for other companies. .By the way, QQ Super Tornado has just reached a promotion contract worth 5 million yuan with Helo."

Li Yanhong said in a deep voice, "Won't you express it?"

Zhou Buqi promised: "Ali is a shareholder of Ziweixing. Aren't you engaged in e-commerce over there? You have broken up with Taobao and blocked each other. It doesn't matter. Ziweixing will not be disturbed by this. Wait for Baidu's e-commerce platform. Once it’s online, we will treat everyone equally. Even if I offend Lao Ma, I will not violate the principle of market fairness.”

Li Yanhong was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, "Okay! Then it's a deal!"

Zhou Buqi said: "By the way, someone reported to me that when I search for 'Helo' on Baidu, the search result that pops up is 'Baidu Hi', isn't that appropriate?"

"Yeah?"

"Stop pretending to me! Change the key words for me! Did I mess with you with Weidian?"

Li Yanhong didn't insist, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll ask for you."
