Snapdragon is located on the top floor of Yinhua Building. This office building was invested and built by a state-owned enterprise in 1994. It is owned by the 12th floor and is rented for rent on the 12th floor. Due to its superior geographical location, advanced supporting facilities and relatively high rent, the top floor was vacant for most of the year and was left unattended until in May this year, under the instruction of Du Qiu, it was rented out by Gao Mingda.

Yinhua Building was designed by an American architectural design firm. It is one of the few office buildings in Yuncheng that use glass curtain walls in large areas. It is more fashionable than those old-fashioned buildings and is very in line with the image of Snapdragon high-tech enterprises. It is combined with the decoration and the benefits that can be seen everywhere, which makes the media reporters and some netizens who come to visit amazing and have a good look.

"I'll go! Snapdragon actually set up a special entertainment room. When you are tired from work, you can go there to watch vcds and play arcades. I really envy them."

“All fruits and drinks are free, can you eat as much as you want?”

“This office chair is really good, more comfortable than the first class chair in the airplane.”

Zhang Xuanlong mixed among a group of young netizens, visited the office in a blink of an eye, and said to Qiubaijun and Lei Jun: "There is no software company in China that can match such a good office environment. With Kingsoft's current situation, it may be difficult to compete with Snapdragon."

Lei Jun does not have Kingsoft shares, so it is not convenient to express his opinions, but he feels quite touched. Kingsoft Beijing Company lives in a dilapidated and crowded small Red Building. As the general manager, he doesn’t even have a separate office. He can only do it himself and use glass panels to make a small partition, which is very different from the comfortable and relaxed working environment in front of him.

Even if you are willing to spend money on daily office supplies, then the salary and benefits that employees get will definitely be better...

If such a company comes to Kingsoft to poach, how can it stop it?

Qiu Baijun took out the cigarette box and wanted to smoke. When he saw a Snapdragon employee wearing a black T-shirt waved at him, he put the cigarette box away again and frowned and said, "Their office software is incompatible with our WPS. If Kingsoft is sold to Snapdragon, the brand of WPS will be gone in the future. I am a little reluctant to leave it."

"I can't bear to leave either, but the situation is better than others. I am now responsible for Founder Group's overseas business. I have to go abroad frequently and I can't help you run Kingsoft. If I don't sell it now, Snapdragon will hollow out the entire company in a short time." Zhang Xuanlong sighed and said to Lei Jun: "What do you think?"

"In fact, it's nothing to be rich. There are many companies with richer value than Kingsoft. The trouble is that Du Qiu understands technology, and he knows more than us. He knows how to make products."

"Yes, this is the real big trouble."

Qiu Baijun shook his head and said silently for a moment, "Snapdragon has several employees who have jumped from Kingsoft to work. Why not find someone to take us to see how Snapdragon's office software is doing."

"I didn't see them just now. I guess I was sent away. I'm not in the company today... Oh, that's Yu Xingyu, he's here."

Because Du Qiu had planned to acquire Kingsoft, in order to maintain a good relationship, Qin Mu always paid attention to Kingsoft's updates, but he never took the initiative to poach them, and only took a few employees who had jumped from Kingsoft. Yu Xingyu was one of them. He left after the contract expired and got together and parted ways, so he did not feel ashamed of his former boss. Lei Jun and others did not have any prejudice against him, so the atmosphere was relatively harmonious after meeting.

"This is our company's coo Yang Fan, this is Mr. Zhang from Kingsoft, Mr. Qiu from Kingsoft, and this is Manager Lei from Kingsoft Jingcheng Branch."

"Hello, hello, hello."

After Yang Fan shook hands with the three of them, he didn't even say much politely, and made a straight-forward proposal: "Manager Qin from the Office Software R&D Department wanted to take this rare opportunity to exchange some technical experience with Kingsoft. I wonder if the three of them would like to appreciate their faces?"

Zhang Xuanlong and Qiu Baijun looked at each other, then agreed with a smile: "We cannot ask for anything."

"That's great. Please, Manager Qin has prepared the relevant equipment and information."

The three of them walked along the corridor to the east under Yang Fan's leadership. When they passed the conference room, they saw through the glass doors that were filled with people. Each of them was holding a manuscript, some were reading carefully, and some were communicating softly. The scene looked a bit like the students who were cramming before the college entrance examination, but these students were a little old, and the youngest was twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Zhang Xuanlong went to Zhongguancun to invest in business in 1984. He is known for his shrewdness and boldness, long-sleeved dance skills, and has a wide range of social circles. He recognized several professors from famous universities in Beijing on the bus to the Snapdragon headquarters. He knew that they were all academic experts with real materials, and they were not those fake and shoddy experts who were just facades. So he asked: "Isn't that Professor Pan from Beijing University? What are they studying?"

"The two papers about distributed systems that Mr. Du wrote a while ago have attracted the interest of many experts after it was posted online, so he came to our company to hold a seminar. It has nothing to do with office software."

Yang Fan's words were very plain, but the three listeners all showed surprise expressions at the same time. You should know that although computer programming is not simple, it is not too difficult. As long as you work hard enough, middle school students can write good software, and distributed systems are different. It is a very cutting-edge high-tech technology in the 1990s, and the basic requirements are very high. It will only be accessible to universities at least until the master's or doctoral stages. It is difficult for ordinary people to make a name for themselves.

It was possible to let professors from Jingcheng University come to Yuncheng for a seminar in person, which showed that what Du Qiu studied was very valuable and was definitely not a fake thing to attract attention. Lei Jun became curious and asked, "Can we take a look at the paper?"

"sure."

Yang Fan signaled Yu Xingyu to get a copy of the paper, and then pointed to the person in the conference room and introduced: "Mr. Du's two papers are quite profound. People who are not specializing in distributed systems can read them, so the experts participating in this seminar must at least be a doctorate, otherwise they may not understand them."

The three of Kingsofts were already a little confused about what to say. When they were having a deep conversation in the hotel last night, Du Qiu had already demonstrated his superior programming skills. Unexpectedly, he also took into account academic research and developed advanced techniques that could make doctors from famous universities untouchable.

Yu Xingyu quickly took the three-point copy paper. Zhang Xuanlong didn't understand the technology and didn't even read it. He just held it in his hand politely. Qiu Baijun and Lei Jun opened it and glanced a few times, and they all closed it because there were more than a dozen unfamiliar English terms on the first page, which they couldn't understand at all. They were greatly hit and felt that the gap with Snapdragon was too big.

"I will read the paper when I have time. Mr. Yang should take us to see Manager Qin first."

"Okay, please here."

Yang Fan brought the three of them to an office inside the corridor. When Zhang Xuanlong saw a nameplate with Du Qiu's name hanging on the door, he asked, "Du Qiu is not here, is it appropriate for us to use his office?"

"Mr. Du usually works with his employees. This is his lounge, which is relatively spacious, so he often uses it as a small conference room and anyone can use it."

After the door opened, Kingsoft and the other two showed a surprised expression again, because the decoration inside was too unexpected. There was no office desk, no computer, only a few sofas and a coffee table. Except for the window side, the remaining three walls were inlaid with wooden bookshelfs, and the bookshelf was filled with books, which looked like a small library at first glance.

Qin Mu was taking two men to debug the laptop in front of the coffee table. When he saw the three of them coming in, he hurriedly got up and greeted him. He and Lei Jun met a few months ago. They both had a good impression of each other and became familiar with each other after a few words. Yang Fan had something else to do, so he left after seeing this.

When Qin Mu went to pour tea, Zhang Xuanlong walked to a bookshelf on the left and saw that the spine of all the books above were labeled "must-read". He picked up a thick English book, opened it and looked at it, and found that the paper was yellow and wrinkled, obviously it had been read many times, and there were many red pen markings on the page, so he turned around and asked, "Her Du, have you read these books?"

Qin Mu pointed to a small bookshelf next to the door and said, "Mr. Du hasn't read the books on that shelf, but he has read the rest."

The bookshelf was very small, with only about 10 books in it, and there were at least hundreds of books on the other bookshelf. Zhang Xuanlong was surprised and looked around and found that in addition to computer books, there were novels, history, calligraphy, cars, music and other books on the bookshelf. He couldn't help but admire Du Qiu very much and strengthened his mind to sell Kingsoft to Snapdragon.

With extraordinary talent and eagerness to study, such a person will achieve great things. Instead of being defeated by him, it is better to turn enemies into friends...

Lei Jun also walked to a bookshelf and saw that the books on it were labeled as "waste utilization". He picked up one and looked at it. He found that it was a computer textbook published by a university in China. The content was full of errors and missed, and it was unbearable to see. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Qin Mu, what's the use of keeping such a book?"

"Mr. Du plans to write a set of computer introductory textbooks for beginners. These are the negative examples used for reference to avoid similar errors."

"You Mr. Du really has leisure and leisure." Qiu Baijun looked around the room and asked, "Does he have so much time?"

"Mr. Du is very efficient in reading and doing things. For example, he studied the book "Design Pattern" in a few hours. I have not figured it out after reading it for several months."

"Design Pattern" is a classic computer book published in October 1994. The concept in it was very fresh in the 1990s and there was no Chinese version. It was indeed not easy to chew for domestic native programmers like Qin Mu, but it was no longer new for Du Qiu, so he used it to act to strengthen his high genius image of iQ, and to protect his future "invention" of various awesome technologies.

The acting effect was good, which made the Kingsoft threesome stunned. In the following exchanges, Qin Mu only demonstrated some of the functions of the office software, which made Qiubaijun and Lei Jun feel that once this software was launched, Kingsoft would have no power to fight back.
