Seven companies!

Qin Feng took a look and found that he didn't recognize four or five of them, but he was very familiar with two of them.

One of them is named: winzip.

It can be said that this company is quite, quite famous.

In the early days of the computer age, it was an indispensable piece of software for almost all users.

Of course, there have been many similar compression software in later generations, and everyone uses them differently.

But in this era, basically everyone uses winzip.

As for what winzip is, it is a file format. It is a file format for data compression and document storage. Through this software, users can easily compress multiple files into one file.

Its size will be much smaller than before. This is a very magical technology. Especially at present, this compression software is very useful.

But later, due to its lack of ambition and the strength of its competitors, it fell from its position as king.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yong acquired part of its shares before it fell.

"I think this software is very necessary. I tried it and it is really effective. The compression ratio can reach up to 90%." Jiang Yong exclaimed, "Moreover, it can also encrypt and protect file contents through numbers.

.”

Qin Feng nodded.

From this point of view, this is indeed the attractive part of winzip at present. It is also the reason why it is popular all over the world and the installed capacity is increasing crazily. However, the problem also happens to appear here.

The reason for its emergence is that its encryption system is easily cracked.

Its encryption system can easily be broken through by the other party using poor algorithms.

Of course, this was still a very simple and crude decryption operation. In fact, later on, the confidentiality function of winzip was easily broken.

Users may use poor algorithms to calculate more complexly, but they can obtain the password by cracking the software itself.

After all, the software itself also requires the user to set a password in the compressed package and add a password key. When decompressing, enter the corresponding password to decompress normally.

Nowadays, it is too troublesome to use poor algorithms to obtain passwords, but it is much simpler to directly crack the software itself and then obtain the "key".

Therefore, later on, winzip was gradually replaced by rar and 7z, and gradually no one used it.

Of course, this also stems from its inability to monetize.

In particular, winzip is the first paid decompression software. It was originally free for people to download and use. After the upgrade, it was suddenly said that it would be charged. Although the functions may be more complete, the change from free to paid is always disappointing.

It's hard for people to accept.

Especially in the Internet age, this is even more unacceptable.

In addition, it is not irreplaceable, so it is naturally cool.

However, there is no problem with the acquisition now.

After all, the people who created the winzip software didn't know how to make a profit. They could only make money by paying for the software. But for Qin Feng, there were other ways to make money.

In this regard, Qin Feng always has some ideas.

As for the other software that moved Qin Feng, no, it will be famous now, or in the next few years. However, it is not the software itself, or its competitors, that will decline in later generations.

Rather, user demand is not high anymore.

This software is acdsee. This software, in layman's terms, is a picture viewing software.

That is, how do you view many pictures on your computer? Just use such a software to view them.

In this day and age, there are many pictures on the Internet. What software do you use to view pictures? It is acdsee. It can open graphics files with any suffix name and is extremely fast.

Therefore, in the past few years, acdsee has become the most popular software and has always been a must-have software for all computer users.

But like winzip, it eventually disappeared.

The reason? Still the same, the rise of smartphones.

With the rise of smartphones, major mobile phone manufacturers will have various built-in exclusive image viewing tools. In this case, it seems unnecessary to install an additional acdsee.

This was also the reason why acdsee later declined. Of course, free transfer fees were also one of the reasons.

This is the same as winzip. When it is free, many people use it. Once there is a charge, in the Internet era, there will be substitutes, and then your product will definitely fall into a very embarrassing position.

"What do you think of these seven companies?" Jiang Yong asked excitedly.

Qin Feng nodded.

Although there are five companies, Qin Feng has never heard of them. But it doesn't matter, just two of them, winzip and acdsee, are worth the price.

Of course, how to monetize it later is indeed a problem. But at least for now, winzip is very useful.

Now the cloud hard drive launched by ourselves is facing the problem of space size.

Although Qin Feng has developed an intelligent applet for automatic screening, this only solves the problem of too many files of the same type. However, it does not solve the problem of files taking up too much space.

But now, winzip can solve it.

All files can be packaged and compressed.

"In this regard, let the company's programmers design an interface to automatically compress all files." Qin Feng said, "In this way, we can greatly reduce our space usage ratio."

"Also, you contact winzip and tell us that our company is the agent for winzip software." Qin Feng said, "You have full authority to give us the exclusive agency!"

"There is no problem with this exclusive agency. This software is originally free. However, what is this agency used for? It is meaningless." Jiang Yong was puzzled.

Because you are an agent or not, there are various free versions on the Internet.

"It's free for personal use, but it didn't say it could be used commercially." Qin Feng grinned, "We got the exclusive agency rights. Then, neither NetEase nor Xinlang can use it. Because they are commercial, if they

If you want to use it, fine. Spend money to buy the authorization. Isn’t your shareholding 30%? Then let him spend money to buy it. We can also get a share of it! Earn a vote for it."

"This method is good!" Jiang Yong's eyes widened. He didn't expect Qin Feng to think of such a method, but there is also a problem, that is, what should we use then?

"They have obtained the general agency rights in China, and we can get the general agency rights in the Asia-Pacific region. It's not the same thing!" Qin Feng blinked.

After Jiang Yong listened, he was silent for a long time, and then burst into laughter.

Whether it is Wang Zhidong or Ding Sanshi, if they really want to snatch this, it will be really fun.

This is simply like selling someone and counting the money for you! It’s so shameless. But I like it! Jiang Yongtai wanted to see them spend huge sums of money to buy the right to use the software, and when they learned that they had higher-level permissions

Looks like.
