Chapter 140: I was confused by the question~!

Just as Zhang Junfeng was secretly complaining in his heart, two young men hurriedly ran into the coffee shop and looked around inside, but for a moment they were not sure who they were going to meet! "...Boss, two people from the front desk came into the coffee shop. Could they be the people you want to meet?" Wu Xiuying, who was standing by, noticed the change in the people in the coffee shop. After seeing the two young men looking around as if they were looking for someone, she reminded Zhang Junfeng.

Zhang Junfeng looked in the direction Wu Xiuying said, and saw two slender young men in grey suits looking around anxiously. One of them looked about 70% similar to Lei Jun, whom Zhang Junfeng was familiar with. "…It must be them. I thought they were going to stand me up!"

Zhang Junfeng stood up and waved at the two of them, signaling them to come over here. Lei Jun, who noticed it first, quickly called Qiu Bojun and came over.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm Qiu Bojun from Kingsoft Software, and this is Lei Jun. I've contacted you on the phone before. It's just that the taxi driver got us to the wrong place on the way from the airport, so we couldn't arrive on time. I'm so sorry~!"

The person who spoke was Qiu Bojun. He was numb to such sudden embarrassing things. He often encountered such embarrassing things when traveling around in recent years. However, this time they were in a hurry to meet Zhang Junfeng, the big boss, and they were afraid that they would be late and disappointed again, so this mistake happened.

Hearing that the reasons given by the other party were acceptable, Zhang Junfeng nodded and did not continue to investigate this issue. Instead, he asked about their contact with Comet Capital to seek investment.

When the matter of attracting investment was mentioned, the two were also very surprised. They did not expect that the Korean boss would be so straightforward and get straight to the point without any hesitation.

"It's like this. Our Kingsoft Software Company is one of the first companies in China to develop office software. Our goal is to meet all office needs. Our competitor is Microsoft Word. In the past two years, the software product we developed, 'Pangu Components', was attacked by both Microsoft and pirated products, resulting in sales that were lower than expected."

"But this also makes us realize that although Microsoft is a giant in the Internet industry, they also have serious shortcomings. Their Word software still has many deficiencies and defects, which is exactly the advantage of our WPS software!"

"As long as we can get enough funds for further research and development and optimization, within a year, our WPS software will definitely be able to beat Microsoft Word..."

Listening to Qiu Bojun's confident words, Zhang Junfeng was not optimistic about it. The main reason why Microsoft is so powerful nowadays is that the Windows operating system they developed has been widely recognized and installed by mainstream computer manufacturers.

In this way, Microsoft has a large number of potential users, and the product bundled with the Windows operating system is another product they promote - the office series software. With this combination of punches, the market share of their office series software will definitely occupy half of the Internet industry, which is almost unshakable! As for the ability to shake Microsoft's position in the operating system, only IBM and Apple, which has been declining, are on the decline. As for Kingsoft, a small company that is slightly larger than an ant, how can it be their opponent? It is like an ant trying to shake a tree to fight head-on, which is beyond one's ability!

…

"Excuse me, if your company still 'walks on one leg' and only focuses on the development and improvement of WPS software, then I can only say that your final outcome will still be completely crushed by a behemoth like Microsoft, and the probability of a comeback is very small!" Zhang Junfeng sighed helplessly. It seems that Qiu Bojun's idea is too idealistic. He thinks that as long as the product is good, it will definitely be able to defeat its peers with inferior performance? Naive!

Hearing Zhang Junfeng say this, Qiu Bojun was still a little unconvinced. He even felt that Zhang Junfeng had never used their products, so he had such an opinion. However, when Lei Jun, who was standing aside, heard Zhang Junfeng say this, a light bulb went off in his head and he gradually fell into deep thought.

"I'm not saying bad things about Kingsoft, but Microsoft's strength and size are there. They grab market share by relying on their self-developed Windows operating system, and their office software is just a small program installed as part of their operating system."

"But your WPS software wants to challenge others and grab market share? Do you really think their operating system is just for show? As long as they are a little more ruthless and directly update a few patches for their Windows operating system and then make it incompatible with WPS software, do you think your WPS software will have any sales no matter how good its performance is?!"

Zhang Junfeng's words were like a lit firecracker, which stunned the two company leaders who were still dreaming about the bright future of WPS software! They had never considered this before, and subconsciously ignored what Microsoft might do to maintain its software market share?

"...Microsoft is a large company listed on NASDAQ after all, it shouldn't... do such a despicable thing, right?" Qiu Bojun defended himself with a grim expression, but he also knew that he didn't have much confidence when he said this.

"... Old Qiu, what Mr. Zhang said is right! The reason why Microsoft is so powerful and so unscrupulous is because their Windows operating system has a huge number of users. Even if their Word software is not as good as our WPS in terms of performance, they can quickly block us completely by just tinkering with the operating system. This... is not a fair duel at all!"

Comparing the current situation with Lei Jun, he quickly realized that what Zhang Junfeng said was the cruel reality today, and this was also the real reason why their previous "Pangu Component" failed.

"…Then what should we do? We can't possibly make other products, right? Apart from the WPS software that we have worked hard to develop for so many years, our software company has not made any achievements in other areas…" Hearing his good brothers say this, Qiu Bojun was helpless. It was a bit heartbreaking to think that he had worked so hard for so long only to be told that his efforts were in vain!

Lei Jun did not answer Qiu Bojun's question directly. Instead, he looked at Zhang Junfeng and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, since you know so much about Microsoft and our Kingsoft Software Company, you must have made some preparations, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have invited us to come to Shanghai to discuss it in person, right?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
