Chapter Five Hundred and Seventieth: Capture Microsoft Base Camp

Of course, just being free is useless.

Because of domestic piracy, many users use Office for free.

Office is free, so is wps.

Undoubtedly, office is more powerful than wps, why use wps?

Therefore, in this, free is only the premise, and providing better services than office is the purpose.

In Chen Yu's suggestion, Jinshan provides a simplified version of wps.

The so-called Lite version is to give up some infrequently used functions, and only keep the most commonly used settings.

This also reduces the size of the entire wps from 1G to about 50M.

Don't look at it as if it's nothing.

You know, the domestic Internet in 2004 is still not particularly fast.

If the user uses the download, it generally takes several hours to download the program that is larger than 1G or even larger than 500M.

Just like downloading an online game client.

Many users often need more than 12 hours to download.

If the internet speed is not good, the download time is more likely to exceed 24 hours.

Can you imagine using a software to download all day and night?

Although this was in 2020 in a previous life, it was basically impossible.

Even if you download dozens of gigabytes of seeds, you don't need a day and a night.

But that was the situation at the time.

Because of this, if wps is only 50M in size, he is extremely attractive.

At least when a user wants to use office software, he may consider downloading office at that time, but it takes a day and a night to download office, and it only takes ten minutes to download wps.

Which do you say he would like to download?

Don't say it's 2004.

Even in the previous life in 2020, 1G would rather download 50M than 50M.

Although Wps is not as powerful as office, it is barely usable.

And because of the small volume and capacity, many commonly used functions are placed in the navigation bar.

You don't need to search all the time, it's more convenient to operate than Office.

This is one of them.

Second, wps networking.

In the past, whether it was wps or office, he was an independent program.

He is like a stand-alone game, he is not connected to the Internet.

But Chen Yu believes that this will not work.

Although the office software does not require networking, if Lenovo, he can give birth to more functions.

It's like input method software.

Does the input method software need to be connected to the Internet?

He can indeed

However, he does connect.

Once connected to the Internet, a series of services appeared.

For example, provide more beautiful template materials.

This material includes table material, picture material, and online font material.

Speaking of which, when many users are using office software, they are only able to type, and can more or less get a form. But to say how proficient in these office software is, it is really not there. Even sometimes, many people do not know how to make a form. Even if I can do it, I don't know how to make a more beautiful form.

it's good now.

It doesn't matter if you don't do it.

There are various templates in Wps, you only need to click to download and save the form on your office software with one click.

Is not it simple?

Isn't it cool?

This is as simple as shooting awesome videos with Douyin in the previous life.

In addition, there is a more powerful function.

This function is the cloud storage function.

This involves cloud services.

Although it will take a few years for this concept to become popular, Chen Yu also proposed it at this time.

As long as the user uses wps, the content they generate using wps will be automatically uploaded to the cloud service.

This allows the cloud service to save your documents even in the event of a power outage.

On the other hand, you also don't have to bake it with a USB stick after using wps.

Because there is a server, the next time you log in to another computer and enter your account, the document you edited before will be in the server.

It can be said that these services are specially opened for Microsoft Office.

Although he does not have much technology, it is very practical and easy to promote.

At that time, when he heard Chen Yu's suggestion, Qiu Bojun was extremely shocked.

He didn't expect that wps could make such a change.

Although wps had not been launched at that time, but with these functions, Qiu Bojun was sure to have a good battle with Microsoft office. Thinking like this, Qiu Bojun still has some regrets about how he gave up so many shares. However, Qiu Bojun also figured it out later. If it wasn't for Chen Yu, he would never have come up with a style like this.

Even if you can figure it out, you don't have the money to promote it.

You know, just with these functions, if you don't spend money to promote it, it will not work.

Jinshan WPS has been losing money for several consecutive years, and it can't make much money at all.

Only cooperating with Huanyu Technology is the most correct choice.

...

"Mr. He, congratulations."

"thanks."

"Mr. He, how long have you been in China?"

"It's been 10 years."

"It's so long."

"Yeah, but I like China very much."

He Lebing, the president of Microsoft China who just took office, chatted with several subordinates during the lunch break.

Although the MSN business has not yet made a big counterattack with YY these days, Microsoft's resources have been tilted towards the Chinese side. As long as time is given, MSN can definitely replace YY's position in the future.

However, one thing still gave him a headache.

That is MSN's cooperation in business office, and many companies dare not cooperate with Microsoft again.

For example, some companies such as Ali.

It turned out that they used MSN as their Ali customer service, but accidentally, MSN has become an appointment software.

Thinking of this, He Lebing cursed Tang Jun in his heart.

Damn, if it wasn't for him, MSN would have had millions of subscribers already.

However, when I think about He Lebing later, I don't blame Tang Jun.

If Tang Jun doesn't step down, how can he become the president of Microsoft China?

"China is indeed a good place. There are more than one billion people here, and the future Internet market has huge potential. However, that Huanyu Technology is not easy to deal with."

"Huanyu Technology is really powerful, but they are just a newly emerging company. They seem to be very strong, but they won't last long. Of course, we can't underestimate each other. If there is another Tang Jun incident, we will all be finished."

He Lebing is a pragmatic person.

Although pragmatic people do not have such strong ambitions, they are also practical and know how to measure.

He knows that the battle between Microsoft and Huanyu Technology is a protracted one, and the winner cannot be determined overnight.

At this time, you have to be patient.

Whoever persists to the end will win.

"Okay, everyone, come on."

After a brief chat, He Lebing returned to the office.

There is much more he has to do.

The task of the president of Microsoft China is not only responsible for MSN instant messaging.

He is also responsible for all the business of Microsoft China.

such as the operating system.

Another example is the office software business.

Of course, there are IE business, database business, and game business.

He Lebing, who just took office as the president of Microsoft China, must be familiar with these businesses in all aspects.

Although he was very familiar with it before, it was not the position of the president after all, and there were many data that he could not see.

Now as the president, a series of data that he did not have permission to open to him before.

"This……"

At the beginning, He Lebing just got to know some of these data.

But when carefully analyzing these data, He Lebing found a problem.

There is no problem with the operating system.

The problem is the office and IE business.

These two businesses have been the same as the operating system before, and there is almost no problem.

Because these two businesses are very stable, and there are no rivals.

Even if there are some competitors, they are just cats and dogs, and they can't be lifted on the stage.

But……

Looking at the data now, he was taken aback.

"Why did the office and IE business drop so much all of a sudden?"

"This is impossible."

He Lebing was a little flustered.

Although MSN is very important, it is only Microsoft's edge business in the final analysis.

If you can do it well, it will be the best, but if you don't do it well, Microsoft won't be able to collapse.

But Office and IE are the core businesses of Microsoft.

Although from the data, this drop is only a drop of about 5 points.

But with the Chinese market crowd, the 5-point drop is already extremely terrifying.

And most importantly, the 5-point drop basically announced the emergence of a strong competitor.
