Bill Gates' itinerary was very full, and he had to attend various meetings, as well as meet with Chinese officials, scholars and entrepreneurs. He was then invited to go to Shanghai Jiaotong University to give a speech.
Even the organizer specially set him a group topic called "The Road to Developer Success". Bill Gates gave a topic speech, and many software companies including Kingsoft, as well as professors and college students from famous universities were invited to participate in the discussion or attend the audience.
"The next ten years will be the digital age. At that time, people only need an email to communicate, and they will not be disturbed by other phone calls and letters, and they can even give up phone calls and letters completely. Nowadays, many young people don't know what the record is, while young people in ten years will ask: 'What is CD, what is VCD?' Because all film and television content is digital, the computer will become as thin as paper. People can carry computers with them and watch their favorite movies and TVs anywhere. Nowadays, many people are afraid of computers because they are too cumbersome to use. In fact, there are no need to be afraid. In the future, computers can realize human-computer interaction through voice and handwriting..."
The listeners all felt that they benefited a lot and were all excited.
Song Weiyang also predicted the future digital life, but it sounded like a science fiction story. Bill Gates's speech was obviously much more down-to-earth, and all started with real-life technologies.
However, Song Weiyang was a little confused. Since Bill Gates firmly believed that in ten years, the computer would become as thin as paper when he could achieve interpersonal communication through voice. At this time, video call technology was already available, so why not use a computer as thin as paper to make video calls directly? But he insisted that people can give up phone calls and letters in the future and contact only through email.
In fact, Bill Gates's point of view is very clear. In the future, the computer will be small and practical, easy to carry, and can talk, work, shop, watch videos, listen to music, and play games... This is equivalent to describing a smartphone. But he still has a string left without putting it on, and he always distinguishes the phone from the computer, and believes that email can dominate all communication methods.
Song Weiyang did not join in the fun and listened to the lecture because the group topic belonged to the software industry. He was participating in another group discussion at that time (about the survival and development of enterprises after China joined WTO).
Just as Song Weiyang was discussing the issue in a real way, Bill Gates was bragging and selling everywhere.
In addition to elevating Microsoft's Shenghai Software Research Institute from Asian to world-class center, Bill Gates' other remarks are nonsense.
For example, Bill Gates claimed that Microsoft will launch the Architect 2000 Advanced Software R&D Supervisor Training Program, which will cooperate in 11 software development parks in China to train 2,000 software architects for China. The news came out, and domestic media and college students cheered and compared it to "the MBA project of China's software industry."
It's all nonsense. More than half of the 11 software development parks mentioned by Bill Gates were the territory of the scammer Song Ruhua. Microsoft has never investigated the truth at all. Song Ruhua brags so well, so he thought it was really amazing and took those empty shell parks seriously.
"Mr. Song, you are working on the Emba project of Taurus Business School. Now Mr. Bill Gates is also working on the MBA project in the software industry," a domestic reporter caught Song Weiyang for an interview. "Do you think Bill Gates can succeed? What impact will this have on the Chinese software industry?"
Song Weiyang walked out of the venue and said with a smile: "I hope Bill Gates can fail."
Every celebrity is surrounded by many reporters, and there are a few next to Song Weiyang. When he heard him say such words, the reporters were very surprised. One of them asked: "Why do you want Bill Gates to fail? This project has been reduced to China to train 2,000 top software architects. This is a good thing to promote the great development of China's software industry."
"Do you really don't understand, or pretend you don't understand?" Song Weiyang stopped and asked.
"Isn't it?" the reporter said.
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Do you think Bill Gates is Bethune, who selflessly contributes to help the Chinese train 2,000 software architects? Not only in China, but also the global computer software industry has been semi-monopolized by Microsoft. Last year, Microsoft also received a fine of hundreds of millions of dollars from the EU. Microsoft is now working in China to bring together China's most potential software talents and cultivate the top group of recruits, and some second-rate and third-rate ones are left to show that they are selfless. In this way, Microsoft can control both the Chinese software market and Chinese software talents, and we are sold and help people count money. At the same time, Microsoft can also use this cooperation plan to outsource many secondary development projects and let Chinese software talents help Microsoft work at super low prices."
The reporters were stunned for a moment, all of whom felt that Song Weiyang was justified, and at the same time they were very excited - Song Dapao opened fire at Bill Gates, and tomorrow's technology page headlines have been settled.
"Then do you think Bill Gates' plan will be successful?" a reporter asked.
Song Weiyang said: "It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Cultivating 2,000 software architects is just a gimmick. It is to throw out Microsoft's work and let various domestic software parks help him with low prices. Anyway, Microsoft will not suffer any loss in any way. How much Chinese people can learn depends on their own luck. If there are a few outstanding people, Microsoft will poach them with high salaries."
The reporter asked again: "Will Kingsoft choose to cooperate with Microsoft?"
"Never, Kingsoft and Microsoft are in a competitive relationship." Song Weiyang said very affirmatively.
Another reporter asked: "WPS once occupied 95% of China's market share. After being defeated by Word for a while, it won a game with WPS97 and seized more than 70% of its share again. But why did WPS retreat step by step after WPS2000 and Word2000 were launched at the same time? Last time I asked Mr. Lei, he refused to answer this question."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "He refused to answer, so come and ask me?"
The reporter smiled and said, "Mr. Song has always said something straight. We journalists like to deal with you very much."
Song Weiyang said: "WPS2000 is not defeated by word2000, but by word2000 piracy. Microsoft's office software is pirated at random, and there is no danger of being reported. So those pirated manufacturers are crazy about making word2000 installation disks. 2000 yuan genuine goods, 5 yuan a piece, what do you think will happen? Even those who do assembly machines don't install them for free for a cent. This is what I said to Bill Gates in the previous "Eight Forum". Don't talk about authenticity in China."
The reporter asked: "Bill Gates said this is the biggest gain of his trip. What will Microsoft do next?"
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Of course, letting the piracy be ignored and using piracy to cultivate the market. When the Chinese market becomes regular, everyone is used to using Microsoft products, so Microsoft can make money while lying down."
"Why did you remind Bill Gates that you are not afraid that Kingsoft will not have a day to turn over?" the reporter asked.
Song Weiyang said: "Because some time ago, I have discussed with Mr. Qiu and Mr. Lei. Kingsoft will launch wps2000x, introduce network interaction functions, and the personal version is permanently free. In addition, Kingsoft Anti-Japanese will also launch personal versions and enterprise versions, and the personal version of antivirus software will also be permanently free."
"Forever free? How can Kingsoft make money?" The reporters were shocked.
Song Weiyang smiled and walked out of the venue with big strides.
For ordinary users, wps2000 is actually more practical than Microsoft's office2000.
First of all, the opening speed is faster and the computer is not demanding high, because there is less content in WPS - many old antique computers cannot afford to delay office2000.
Secondly, the interface is simpler and more convenient, and the details are more comprehensive. For example, wps2000 has a vertical version and a right version layout selection, which can schedule chemical formulas, custom formula formats, input Chinese phonetic symbols, and wait for Euro symbols. These functions are not available in word2000.
The advantage of office2000 is that it gives high-end users more choices. Various office software types are very comprehensive, and there are also networked operation functions - these contents are basically not available to ordinary users.
In general, other details of wps2000 have been achieved to the extreme except for networking operations, but unfortunately they were defeated step by step by step by step by Microsoft's pirated version.
So some time ago, Song Weiyang, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun held a conference call, and he insisted on making the personal version of WPS and Kingsoft Antivirus free forever. No matter what, it is to seize the market anyway. Don’t worry about whether you make money or not.
Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun disagreed, while Song Weiyang only said: "Broadband is about to become popular in China, and the online download speed is very fast. At that time, let alone whether the genuine version can make money, those pirated merchants will be unemployed, and users can download it directly online!"
This situation is easy to imagine. In the past, users either bought genuine CDs or pirated CDs, and they had to spend money to buy them. In the next few years, they only need to link to the broadband network, click to download the mouse, and install and use it without paying a penny. Isn’t pirates unemployed?
At that time, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun looked at each other and discussed privately, then agreed to Song Weiyang's permanent free plan.
When Kingsoft Antivirus’s personal version turns into Kingsoft Security Guard launched, the Redscar leader should not be the 360 security guard. Keep being his 3721 honestly, or it is more appropriate to be the president of Yahoo China. By the way, 3271 has already preceded Tencent this year and announced that it is the first Chinese Internet company to achieve profitability.
After Song Weiyang's interview was reported, it even surpassed Bill Gates' limelight in the industry, directly causing a major earthquake in the software industry.
What to do? Kingsoft Antivirus is going to be free forever!
This problem is like a mountain, pressing on the heads of domestic antivirus software companies such as Rising and Jiangmin.
This is not a job grab, this is a fucking table.
At the same time, because Song Weiyang directly exposed Bill Gates' plan, it instantly caused widespread heated discussion in the society. Voices of Microsoft's monopoly on China's software industry were everywhere, and many units did not dare to cooperate with Microsoft publicly (private cooperation is certain). Many leaders of institutions and local governments hated Song Weiyang so much that they wanted to make political achievements with this.
Bill Gates was completely unaffected. When asked by reporters, he denied it and still went to hand in the speech.
Although this speech is scheduled to be held in Shanghai, not only college students from Shenghai such as Fudan and Tongji came to listen, but even college students from Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Bashu all traveled thousands of miles to see the style.
When I handed over there, there were only two tickets per class, so I couldn’t get the points, so I decided directly by drawing lots. Other universities in Shenghai also sent tickets. At first, I wanted to send them to outstanding students, but I could only get lots to solve the problem. A ticket to Bill Gates’ speech was directly hyped up to more than 300 yuan, and not many were willing to sell them.
Dr. Ma’s speech at university has never been so sensational. I think there is still a big gap between the richest man in China and the richest man in the world.
