"Mr. Zhou, what wind blows you?" Qiu Jun pushed open the door of the office building and did a stretching exercise. Suddenly he saw Zhou Shuo and his group walking over.

The regular life of these two years has made Qiu Jun look whiter and fatter than before, but his good lifestyle and the company's mandatory fitness plan have put him on a step forward. Although he looks a little round, his energy and physical fitness are particularly strong.

In this unknown courtyard, it is actually the location of the Sparc project team of Fanhan Group. Zhou Shuo stopped the car and took Lu Ge and the other two to meet Qiu Jun who walked out of the building.

"This is the leader of the army, Colonel Lu Ge." Zhou Shuo introduced to both sides: "This is Qiu Jun, the inventor of WPS software, and is currently the main person in charge of this research institute. Colonel Lu is here to learn about our Sparc software project, and our Panhan Group may have some cooperation with the army."

"So you are Qiu Jun!" Lu Ge obviously heard of him and said with admiration: "Mr. Qiu wrote WPS is a designated software in our army. I just don't know when the next version will be developed?"

"Hello Colonel Lu." Qiu Jun himself is actually not good at welcoming and seeing off the show, but he still said politely: "The new version of wps96 should be released soon. Now that the program has been written, it has entered the final testing stage."

"Ah? That's great!" Lu Ge rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Our army is eager to see and will definitely support the results of domestic software!"

"That's so thankful!" Qiu Jun smiled and said with honorable chest: "I feel very honored to be able to use the software I wrote in the army!"

Zhou Shuo did not expect that Qiu Jun had such a high reputation in the army. He changed his mind and said generously: "If Manager Qiu agrees, I can promise on behalf of Fanhan Group that when WPS96 is released in August this year, I will give the People's Liberation Army 100,000 sets of genuine software!"

Although piracy is rampant in China, to be honest, many of the government office software use genuine versions. Zhou Shuo said that 100,000 sets of wps96 software are worth at least tens of millions of yuan. Of course, the software is very valuable. 100,000 sets of genuine software CDs are included in the packaging, which is a cost of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. But for the army, it is of course much better to use genuine software than to use pirated software. With the genuine version of wps, you don’t have to purchase Microsoft’s word.

Lu Ge was slightly stunned for a moment, subconsciously calculated what the concept of 100,000 sets of software was, and then became ecstatic.

Word processing software is a necessary software for computers. If you send these 100,000 sets of wps96, you can save at least two or three million in defense expenses - although state agencies need to support genuine versions, it is still very common to install several computers for a serial number.

As for Zhou Shuo's calculations, it is easy to understand. In history, this version of WPS should be released in 1997. Qiu Jun completed the production of the software one year in advance with the support of Fanhan Group. Unlike the domestic word processing market that was stolen from history because it was put on the market too late, WPS96, which was born in advance, can be completely invincible with Microsoft's word processing software.

The domestic software market is rampant, so Zhou Shuo did not intend to make money on WPS. The strategic significance of writing software to block Microsoft is to be stronger than the tactical significance of product profitability.

As long as the market share of wps can continue to remain above 80, there will always be times when you make money in the future. In Zhou Shuo's opinion, just maintaining the name wps will be worth the fare.

Fanhan Group's 100,000 sets of software have brought the relationship with the army closer, maintained the market share of word processing software, and promoted the reputation of WPS for free. Why not do it?

Qiu Jun nodded without thinking and immediately said, "No problem, is Colonel Lu's 100,000 sets of software enough? If not enough, I can apply with Mr. Zhou and give more. At worst, I can make up for the money from my commission!"

Although Zhou Shuo does not expect WPS to make money, Qiu Jun has made a lot of effort on it. As the main creator, WPS salesman himself and the entire development team also have 5 sales commissions.

"Enough, enough!" Lu Ge waved his hand and said with a smile: "I will definitely tell my superiors about Mr. Qiu and Mr. Zhou, but I personally think 100,000 sets are definitely enough!"

"That's good." Qiu Jun did not feel sad because of his decrease in income, but instead smiled very happily.

Qiu Jun, Zhou Shuo and Lu Ge, two soldiers, walked into the three-story building in the yard while talking. This was a building that might have been built in the 1980s. Although it looked half new and not old, the construction materials were very solid. There was a thick wooden glass door at the door, the ground was water-milled marble, and the walls were newly painted white paint, which looked very neat and clean. At first glance, although there was not much decoration in the hall, the bamboo plants in the pot were also very tasteful.

As half of the owner, Qiu Jun enthusiastically introduced to Lu Ge: "This is the Sparc Software Research Institute of Fanhan Group. There are currently three project teams and 200 programmers. They are responsible for the development of virtual machines, operating systems and application software."

"I don't know which aspect of progress Colonel Land wants to know? I can make some arrangements too."

"This..." Lu Ge turned to look at Zhou Shuo. Although he had some technical foundation, he had no idea about the Sparc processor, nor did he know what Zhou Shuo wanted to take him to see.

Zhou Shuo of course knew what Lu Ge meant, so he followed the topic and said, "That's right, Colonel Lu hopes to have a systematic understanding of our Sparc project. You can call on the heads of the other two project teams and let's introduce the progress of the project in a comprehensive way."

"Okay, I'll call someone." Qiu Jun nodded, said goodbye to Lu Ge, and went upstairs first.

Zhou Shuo was also very familiar with this place, so he immediately invited Lu Ge and the others to the large conference room on the first floor, and personally served tea and water to settle the person down.

Not much time, the door of the conference room was opened from outside. Qiu Jun and two others brought a lot of equipment and walked in panting.

"This is Bao Yueqiao, the leader of the network and operating system project team, and this is Wang Jiangmin, the leader of the application software and security project team..."

Zhou Shuobian introduced, and Lu Ge quickly stood up and shook hands with the other two people.

He turned around, looked at Zhou Shuo and sighed, "Mr. Zhou is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!"

Zhou Shuo laughed and didn't say much. Of course he understood what Lu Ge meant. Like Qiu Jun, Bao Yueqiao and Wang Jiangmin were also well-known figures in the software industry.

Bao Yueqiao, the main creator of ucdos and the founder of Lianzhong Games, which later became popular on the Internet in China, made great contributions to the popularization of computers in China. Not to mention Wang Jiangmin, the father of China's antivirus software, started learning computers at the age of 38 but became a legendary figure among top programmers.

In the 1990s, it can be said that as long as you use computers and dos systems, these three people are the names of three people that cannot be avoided. Even in many computer textbooks, they are the kind of people who need big books.

At the same time, this is also the strongest lineup that Zhou Shuo can make up. The rest are either successful in his career or his technology is outdated. Perhaps there are other experts among the people, but the representative figures in the history of Chinese software in this era are the three of them.

Wang Jiangmin is the oldest among them, and is already in his 40s. Zhou Shuo and Lu Ge helped put the equipment he moved in, and then said straight to the point.

"Col. Land should know that any computer system must be composed of processors, memory and external devices. Computer systems composed of sparc processors are no exception. However, compared with traditional CPUs, it is very scalable and convenient to configure differently for special needs. And the devices in front of us are various computer systems based on sparc processors..."

"Please wait!" Lu Ge reached out and called Zhou Shuo's introduction, and asked in confusion: "If I remember correctly, didn't Mr. Zhou say that the sparc processor has not been implemented yet?"

"Look at me!" Zhou Shuo patted his head and laughed: "In fact, these devices use virtual machine technology and write software by simulating the Sparc processor. In addition, there are also some terminals that use the Arm7 processor, which are mainly used on low-energy-consuming portable devices."

"Although the sparc processor is also a streamlined instruction set architecture, it is not known for its low energy consumption and low cost. It is mainly used on the server side. Therefore, on the terminal, we are still studying computer systems using arm processors. Connecting the computer systems of these two devices to the network is our main research direction at present..."

Lu Ge nodded and listened quietly to Zhou Shuo's introduction. He was naturally capable of being sent to contact Fanhan Group. Many contents were just a little clicking, and he could immediately realize it. For example, virtual machine technology, Sun Company is very good at using Java. If you don't delve into the details of the implementation technology, it is still easy to understand conceptually.
