Vol 5 Chapter 208: Can't just sell computers

95 trial version, in fact, the gap with the official version is also limited. \\3 Although this operating system has not reached the later level of more completeness, it is not as easy to use and powerful as the later system, but it is not intuitive for the system or system that has been used. For most Microsoft users of the rudimentary operating system, it is already a qualitative leap.

With the launch of the system, Microsoft is about to establish its unshakable and solid foundation in the industry, and gradually become a giant in the global computer operating system market, turned out to be unmatched.

For Fan Wubing, he admired Microsoft’s unremitting efforts to develop personal computer operating systems and many general-purpose software under the leadership of Gates. Without Gates’ genius, personal computer operating systems could not be so fast. Development, and it is impossible for me to get a large amount of stock income from Microsoft.

But besides that, he is also dissatisfied with Microsoft's high price strategy and price discrimination strategy of non-reaching countries. Other countries do not matter, but for Chinese people whose annual per capita income is only a few thousand yuan, one An operating system that costs thousands of dollars is obviously out of date.

As the shareholder with the largest number of shares in Microsoft except for the two founders, Fan Wuyao acquired many shares in the early days of their listing. Since holding it, they have generally obtained very large returns. And this number is continuing to expand.

It is conceivable that until the next time the world stock market bursts due to the Internet stock bubble, and until Microsoft’s stock is dragged down by the plummet of the Nasdaq index, Fan Wuyi’s book wealth can reach a very astonishing amount. Point.

At the same time, the stocks of the network equipment manufacturer Cisco, which he controls, are also very eye-catching in the market. The orders placed by the U.S. government in promoting the domestic information highway project have made Cisco's stock value again. After doubling several times, Dayou will be among the top ten most valuable companies in the world within a few years.

Looking at it this way, the economic situation facing Fan Wuyao is very good, not a small one, but a very good one.

Because of this situation, after Fan Wubing's anti-virus software gained rapid expansion by giving away shareware from others, he considered a question: how to fundamentally cultivate the Chinese people's copyright awareness?

Although before his rebirth, the era where Fan Wuyao lived was still an era of rampant piracy. In that era, everyone was right in the name of piracy. Why? The reason is the price discrimination policy of multinational companies. Americans may only pay a day or less than a day’s salary for buying a computer operating system, while the Chinese people need to pay a month or even a month to buy a computer operating system. All income from labor for a few months.

The huge contrast in this is enough to arouse the national sentiment of the Chinese people and wantonly trample on the unreasonable copyright protection of knowledge. Since it is unreasonable, it should not exist. Therefore, the phenomenon of foreign software vendors' software being pirated in China is very serious. , It is rare to see genuine software, and the Chinese software protection and cracking technology can also keep pace with the Russians, which probably has a lot to do with the similarities of the national conditions of the two countries.

As an important shareholder of Microsoft Corporation. Fan Wubing also expressed doubts about the Chinese price strategy implemented by the company's board of directors through written materials. But it is clear that Gates and others worry that price differences will cause market turbulence in Darfur. Therefore, Fan has not adopted the flexible pricing strategy according to the actual conditions of different markets. Although this is expected. But it also made Fan Wubing feel a little uncomfortable.

But he thought about it again. Anyway, he is not a major shareholder. Just follow to make money. There is no need to be so serious. As for the mainland software market. That must be a good training place. Although it is said that general software cannot survive under the piracy. However, the market capacity of some dedicated software is still very large. This is very economically meaningful. For example, anti-virus software or financial software, industry office software and the like.

So he convened a small working meeting of some senior members of the anti-virus division of the club and some of the company's senior executives. The main purpose is to prepare to deploy the company to enter the professional software market.

Fan Ting and secretary Wang Xujun. Han Chu, Anti-Virus Division. And Shen Manhua, who was transferred by Fan Wubing to coordinate the northern affairs of the group, and others. All attended the meeting.

Fan Wubing first analyzed the software market at home and abroad. Then said. "The domestic information industry has a huge market capacity. The development potential is huge. There are huge business opportunities. Everyone can see these three aspects. But why the domestic software industry has not been able to develop?"

"Piracy." Fan Ting replied blankly. Then she asked, frowning. "If you have something to say, just say it. It's not a government report. There are so many nonsense. And. Don't use those questions to test the school."

Uh, Fan Wubing paused, a little embarrassed.

Looking at Fan Ting, she then said, "Wrong, because the domestic software industry has not been able to show up because of stealing T|." Although some software companies are trying to develop general-purpose commercial software, the results are far from satisfactory. "

What Fan Wubing said was unsatisfactory, referring to the fact that compared with major international companies such as Microsoft, in the early years, the domestic software market was relatively prosperous, and many people wrote A lot of representative software has been used, and good income has been obtained.

Among them, for example, a person not mentioned by Wang Yongmin, the Ming man who is Yan Yuan Dynasty and Wubi font, is Qiu Bojun.

However, Fan Wubing also understands that after personal computers have gradually moved from one generation to another, the fate of these genius programmers who work on their own will also undergo different changes. Most people will gradually disappear from the front desk in the new In this era, it is impossible for one person to develop a large-scale software system. Only the strength of the team can ensure that China's software industry continues to flourish.

The domestic problem is that the treatment of software talents is too poor. The processing system that Qiu Bojun will develop five years ago only received a small bonus, but Hong Kong Jinshan Company made a lot of money, and sold about 30,000 sets every year. , The batch price was 2,200 yuan. This situation continued until last year, when Microsoft’s listed software entered the Chinese market, and the good days were over.

Calculating, this is hundreds of millions of dollars in income. It takes less than a year and a half for a programmer to create such a large value. This is unimaginable to many people, and it is no wonder that Gates is so rich. , Thousands of people are doing software development.

However, the situation has not been good in the past two years. One is the fierce international competition, and the other is the impact of the rampant piracy market. Now the last set of CD production lines does not cost much, so the business of piracy is excellent. The complete software works can be purchased for only a few tens of yuan, and the price continues to fall.

With the formation of an industrial chain of domestic piracy, in addition to quickly promoting the growth of the domestic personal computer market, it has also blocked the lives of these personal programmers, and there are really no fewer people left who can persist.

As a company, it is very difficult to raise a large group of people to develop software with uncertain prospects, and to survive in the cracks between the international software giants and the domestic piracy industry after it is developed. Such a large cost makes no How many people are willing to develop general business software, but only focus on some software markets with relatively strong professional nature and relatively small competitive pressure.

"Although I also think that domestic general-purpose commercial software is being eroded by foreign companies, to develop such software, one needs a large amount of financial support, and the other needs to invest more human resources. The most important thing is that the market does not expect Clearly, it is very likely that we will not get a reasonable return after the launch. But despite this, I think we should continue to do it, otherwise, the national software industry will be sluggish. "Han Chu is dedicated to this, and the relationship with the Fan family sister and brother. It's also different, so I asked this question very frankly.

"Are you using word processing?" Fan Wubing asked everyone.

It's a little troublesome. "Many people answered like this.

There are many shortcut keys used in the processing of s. Although it seems very convenient for professionals, it is indeed a bit troublesome for ordinary people who don't usually use computers. Where is the convenient operation of Microsoft mouse?

Fan Wubing nodded and asked, "If Qiu Bojun develops a new software that can be used more easily~www.wuxiamtl.com~ would you like to use it?"

A high-level executive immediately replied, "It's not like you don't like it, but you have to use it! To be honest, some of the habits really make me feel Western discrimination, if there are alternative products, ghosts use it!"

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Well, our company can't just sell computers. The next goal is to expand the anti-virus division, continue to recruit programmers, and expand it into the software division. The level was adjusted to the level of the company’s vice president, directly under the guidance of Ms. Fan Ting, my sister."

"Software is easy to obtain, and it is hard to find a general!" Han Chu said with emotion, "It is very difficult to achieve success without a good programmer as a leader."

"I plan to dig people." Fan Wuyao replied immediately.

Everyone asked, the talent that Fan Wuyao could dig for himself was obviously very important.

"Of course it's Qiu Bojun." Fan Wubing smiled.
