Chapter 16 Tang Jun

Three days before the Kirin Computer Manager pirated CD went online.

"Boss, this is a lawyer's letter from Microsoft to our company. Should I contact the legal department?" Yumi Sakurai knocked on the door and walked into the office and said.

Originally, Sakurai Yumi still called him Mr. Cao, but something felt wrong with this title. Cao Mang thought it would be better to let her call him boss.

In addition, Yumi Sakurai's work ability made Cao Mang very pleased.

To use an analogy, your boss asks you to buy a pound of watermelon. You go to the vegetable market and find that there are no watermelons for sale. You have no choice but to go back and tell your boss that there are no watermelons in the market.

But Sakurai Yumi is different. Not only will she tell you that there is no watermelon, she will also ask you if you want to buy other fruits instead, and she will also tell you the price and which of these fruits are in season.

"Ignore them, you go back to work." Cao Mang said after reading the contents of the lawyer's letter.

Cao Mang had already anticipated what tactics Microsoft would use.

First:

It sued Kirin Software for illegally modifying Microsoft's system without authorization, causing problems for users, and demanded that the source code of the illegal software be handed over.

second:

The lawsuit sued Kirin Computer for providing pirated systems to Internet cafes and individual users, causing losses to Microsoft, and it was difficult to get Kirin Computer to compensate Microsoft for US$100 million in losses.

It's a pity that Cao Mang doesn't like this. Why don't you go to court and sue me? It's okay to scare children with this thing.

...

Tang Jun was depressed. He was the person in charge of this operation, but there was no response from the other party for three days. It seemed that the other party was not a good person, so he could only visit him at his door.

To be honest, everyone is smart. After all, there is no evidence to formulate a strategy to scare Cao Mang, because of the arrogance of the headquarters.

Two years later, when msn entered China, it was because of its arrogance that it was beaten by Penguin and was unable to fight back.

We feel that we are already the number one software company in the world. Their systems are used all over the world. Our boss is still the richest man in the world. Why don’t you use their msn?

to be honest...

The real situation is that except for a few netizens who understand IT and are interested in the IT industry, most netizens do not know what MSN is.

In the early days of computer development, 99% of Internet users were playing games, and they didn't care about other functions at all.

In addition, speaking of Tang Jun, although he is the president of China, he is actually not much different from a puppet. He only handles daily business work, just because he is from China and can better communicate with the government. Any major decision needs to be made in Seattle.

Only if Bian agrees.

Besides, Microsoft's system is priced at close to 2,000 yuan. Based on China's current per capita GDP, the price set by Microsoft is simply astronomical.

They don't care how much genuine copies can be sold. If they can't sell, that's it, so they just let piracy go.

What is important is market share. The more people use it, the better. This strategy is aimed at backward areas.

A pirated system costs 10 yuan and can be downloaded for free online. In such a big environment, will anyone still develop computer systems?

If Microsoft cracks down on piracy and strictly controls piracy, the situation will be different. This will create a lot of blank areas in the market. If there are blank areas, profits can be generated, and then there will be people with capital to enter, which will undoubtedly be their enemies.

behavior.

Customizing such a strategy is not only a corporate strategy, it also contains certain zz reasons. Suppressing the technological development of other countries will benefit both GG and Microsoft.

....

Two days later...

On the way, he watched the secretary bring the latest reports. One of them shocked Tang Jun. Two days ago, pirated CDs of Kirin Computer Manager appeared on the market.

You must know that he has a technical background. After receiving the order from the headquarters, he bought a Kirin computer to crack it in order to understand the situation. Of course, the result still ended in failure.

But the emergence of pirated optical discs nowadays is not scientific at all. This is something that even Microsoft cannot crack. Their confidence comes from their technical strength. Of course, it is inevitable that only geniuses can crack it. But when he saw the following paragraph, he was confused.

stupid.

Although it is a pirated disc, its functions are still different from the genuine ones. From the capacity point of view, it should be castrated, and one verification code can only be installed on one machine.

Tang Jun was already sure that this thing was released by Kirin Software. Judging from the report sent by the secretary, Kirin Software did not release it for free. Its price was more expensive than ordinary pirated CDs. The prices were all over the country.

More than 15 yuan.

This matter may be complicated or not, but it may be simple. Just clarify it later and provide upgrades to these pirated users.

According to his knowledge of Kirin's computers and software, this pirated CD could sell at least 20 million copies and bring a profit of at least 100 million to Kirin.

Although it is a emasculated version, it is easier to use than Kingsoft Antivirus and Rising antivirus software. After installing this software, all the bugs are blocked, and virus codes basically cannot run.

Kingsoft and Rising both make less than 100 million a year in the personal market. If the corporate and overseas sectors were not the main profit points, they might have gone bankrupt long ago.

As a result, pirated versions of Kirin will dominate the personal antivirus market, and Kingsoft and Rising will probably have a hard time in the future.

The most critical issue is that this price will make Kirin Computer Manager become a must-have computer software and dominate the entire Chinese market.

The more he looked back, the more shocked he was. Kirin Chat and Kirin Game Platform, these two products crushed the competition.

"This man is really a genius." Tang Jun exclaimed.

This move will probably catch his colleagues off guard.

First, start with hardware to accumulate resources and reputation, then put out the bait to get users to take the bait, and then enter the Internet industry.

Is the other party really a twenty-three-year-old young man?

It's simply more powerful than a thousand-year-old fox.

Tang Jun decided to change the original strategy and conduct negotiations.

The Chinese market allows Cao Mang to play as he pleases, but other parties will not be allowed to intervene because this is not in the interests of Microsoft.

Tang Jun immediately called Seattle.

"Tang, do you know it's three o'clock in the morning here now?" Tang Jun's boss said angrily. After all, no one would be happy to be woken up at this hour.

"Sorry, James, the matter is a bit urgent. The company's original plan may need to be changed..." Tang Jun told the other party the matter.

"I understand, we don't need the Chinese market, but Europe doesn't allow him to get involved. No matter if you must buy the right to use it outside of China, it's best to buy the other party's source code." James listened to Tang Jun's report.
