Chapter 114: Seek Bojun's advice
Lei Jun had a question in his mind. The two lines of wrong codes in Wang IFLYTEK seemed to have no connection with the nearest code. But after a careful analysis, you can see that it seemed to be added on purpose. I don’t know what the purpose of IFLYTEK did this. Is it necessary to be guarding against his employees?
Lei Jun likes to study procedures. When he thinks about the relationship between people, he has a headache. Since he can't think of it, he simply stops thinking about it. When he returned to the company, he did not go back to his office, but went to Qiu Bojun's office. He decided to report what happened today to Qiu Bojun. He believed that Qiu Bojun would also be moved by the software.
"Master, I, Lei Jun." Lei Jun politely knocked on the door of Qiu Bojun's office.
Qiu Bojun was looking at the computer attentively, and his hands were tapping the keyboard a few times, and then flipping through the paper documents on the table. It was not until Lei Jun knocked on the door for the second time that he raised his head and said casually: "Xiao Lei, come in, what's the matter." After saying that, he lowered his head and became busy.
Lei Jun stepped into Qiu Bojun's office, then gently closed the door and said, "Mr. Qiu, there is an important thing I want to talk to you."
"Huh?" Ke Bojun put down his work and looked up at Lei Jun. This capable general rarely talked to him so seriously.
"Today I met iFlytek Wang. He has a small software in his hand. I think it is very valuable. Of course, the software itself is very simple, and our programmers here can also develop it.
But the idea of this software is very good. It is not something that ordinary people can think of. I think that when the Internet is popular in the future, the commercial value of this software is unlimited." Lei Junbu Xu Buji expressed his thoughts: "The function now is to realize the text dialogue between people between people between two machines on the local area network..."
"Oh? Isn't that similar to email?" Qiu Bojun's eyes completely left his computer and asked seriously as Lei Jun.
"It's not email, but instant network communication. The two extremely high-end devices, through the network port, on this side of the window, just see a dialogue window, direct dialogue.
In the future, the Internet will be popularized and scattered in various places around the world. As long as there is a network, a computer, and this software, enter what you want to say. Click one to send it. The other party can see it immediately, and there is no need for an email system. Of course, such technology is a little more difficult than it is to implement in the current internal LAN.
But I believe that the network speed will sooner or later reach the need for this software to realize its value." Lei Jundi's tone was still calm, but his facial expressions gradually became excited, as if he thought of the future.
Qiu Bojun pondered for a moment and asked again: "Even if it is as you said, it is just a conversation, at most as the periphery of other products, similar to what we originally thought, Kingsoft's online customer service. The customer asked questions directly through the Internet. We received them here and answered them..." Qiu Bojun seemed to remember something again and said: "Oh, it can also be used as a communication tool for the game. We two play Xuanyuan Sword in different places, and do not use each other to call each other, so we can use this to talk about the game's playing process.
But no matter what, this small software is affiliated with other products. Do you still imagine that you are paying for chatting like a paging station or phone? I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve and does not have much commercial value."
Lei Jun was stunned. He didn't expect that Qiu Bojun would have this view. He was a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Master Qiu, this is not the case. I think this software can exist independently and at first there can be no fees. So in the first few years, a lot of funds need to be invested, and after the user gets used to it, other peripherals can be developed for this software.
For example, when setting up a software membership system, you can automatically accumulate upgraded scores. When the score reaches a certain level, you can upgrade. When the level is high, you can enter more text at one time. There is a limit on the text for free users to chat within one day. This is just a preliminary idea. If it is unreasonable at that time, it can be changed to members who have the right to send pictures. Of course, those who rely on the development status of the network.
Don’t worry about whether someone buys a membership. When they get used to it, everything can be solved. This is the same as making a phone call. Think about it. If our company doesn’t have a phone call now, how can the information be transmitted? I’m afraid I’m very anxious.”
Qiu Bojun seemed to be determined. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Lei, you may make some sense, but our main focus is www.piaotian.com.comsoft. We are going to launch a new window system. We don't know their new system yet. We should collect information on this aspect as soon as possible. Now the company is in a difficult time and don't have much energy to consider other development directions. If you think that software is good, you can use your spare time to develop it. When the network is popular, you will first try it in a small range. If the company has enough funds, then support you to continue to develop this project, do you think it can?"
"Prison asked..." Lei Jun was even more anxious: "I thought about it carefully and could only have a general concept for the future commercial implementation of this software. But I think IFLYTEK should have more ideas. If I can cooperate with him, I will definitely get this project up. If the funds are not enough, we can find venture capital."
"Imfei, Wang, this person is capable and courageous, but not down-to-earth. Xiao Lei, your skills and mind are no less than him. It is better than him. It is better to be down-to-earth and willing to work hard. But today your performance is indeed a bit impetuous. I have to put down the work at hand and have a good talk with you." Qiu Bojun signaled Lei Jun to sit down, and after taking a sip of water, he continued: "When I started my business, I was alone in a small room all year round. As a programmer, you must have this perseverance. With this perseverance, you will be cautious and steady when judging things.
Take the software you are talking about as an example. You just have a general idea and are eager to cooperate with iFLYTEK and are eager to find venture capital.
Let’s not talk about our current situation. Even if we have enough funds to expand our business, can you tell me how long do you expect the Internet to be popularized in the world and in China? How long does it take to make users accustomed to using this communication software to communicate after it is popularized?
After getting used to it, you can now predict how many peripheral businesses you can have to realize their commercial value. If you can make a detailed budget and write a detailed plan, how much does it cost to develop each year, how much does it cost to operate, and how many years can you get it back in?
Of course, no new business can be budgeted accurately, but the risk must be reduced to less than 30% after the budget is over, so it is worth considering whether to develop this business. Therefore, I can only regretfully reject your proposal.”
Qiu Bojun's words made Lei Jun calm down completely. These words made sense. He was indeed a little reckless, but he did not give up his expectations for this software.
The most important thing is that he has a intuition in his heart that he will definitely shine in the future.
Now his task is to help Qiu Bojun, the Bole who knows him, help Kingsoft go through a critical development period. After that, he will find time to make a detailed plan for the instant network communication software as Qiu Bojun said. He feels that time must be enough, and that the software can be better than iFLYTEK. He firmly believes that within two to three years, before the development of the network enters the Minglang Expressway period, everything is still in time.
"Mr. Please, you're right." Lei Jun nodded vigorously, "I understand what to do, so I'll go out first."
"Well, Xiao Lei, work hard." Qiu Bojun smiled with satisfaction and re-entered the complicated work.
At the same time, iFlytek received a call from Jiangxi Wen, reminding him not to run the wrong software code.
"Xiwen, don't worry, I won't read it before I officially purchased your software." IFLYTEK replied, "Why did you suddenly remind me at this time?"
In the second half of the sentence, IFLYTEK is testing Jiangxi literature.
This was a coincidence. When he just thought about whether Jiangxi Wen had a special purpose and whether he deliberately asked him to get the wrong disk, Jiangxi Wen called.
"Oh." Jiangxi Wen smiled and said, "I improved this software again today, and I remembered that the one I mistakenly took away was the initial version with serious bugs.
I didn't want to make this call, but Fatty Qi said you are very curious and may not be convinced. I will make up for the remaining code. He said that you have known your personality with your buddy for so many years.
I heard him say this, but I was afraid that if you were running my program, there was still some important information on the computer that didn't save it, and it would be troublesome if it crashed, so I quickly called to remind you."
"Haha, Fatty Qi really knows me, but whether to watch this software is a professional ethics issue. I'm curious and won't touch it." Of course, IFLYTEK could not admit that he had really opened it, and tried to supplement the complete set of software.
