It is estimated that it has been almost 30 years since Microsoft Office entered China. This is Jinshan WPS’s 30 years of hard work and joy. In 1993, Microsoft Word entered China in a hurry. At that time, the word processing software WPS developed by Qiu Bojun was very popular.

It is estimated that it has been almost 30 years since and Microsoft Office entered China.

This is Jinshan WPS’s 30 years of hard work and ups and downs.

In 1993, Microsoft's Word entered China in a hurry. At that time, the word processing software WPS developed by Qiu Bojun was very popular.

In 1994 alone, more than 30,000 sets of WPS were sold in one year, creating a sales myth of more than 66 million yuan.

As a foreign user, Microsoft is very clear that if you want to open the Chinese market, the first step must be to compete with the local office software WPS, or cooperate to find a way to grab the users of Kingsoft WPS.

Ever since, Microsoft took action and racked its brains to find opportunities to contact Kingsoft.

At first, Microsoft approached Kingsoft's earliest investor, Zhang Xuanlong, and proposed the idea of ​​acquiring Kingsoft. However, Zhang Xuanlong's title as the "Godfather of Zhongguancun" was not for nothing, and he declined Microsoft's invitation.

Later, Microsoft found Qiu Bojun and offered him an annual salary of 700,000 yuan, looking for opportunities to cooperate with Qiu Bojun. 700,000 was an astronomical figure at the time, but Qiu, an upright Qiu Bojun was not blinded by the benefits and chose to refuse decisively. After

repeatedly hit the wall, Microsoft simply directly found Lei Jun , then the head of Kingsoft Development Department.

After some earnest words, Microsoft said: Now basically every household is using our company's Windows system. If your WPS can create a "format sharing" with us, wouldn't it be a perfect match? This will make your software more advanced.

Ever since, after several discussions, Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun decided to sign an agreement with Microsoft to "read each other's files based on the RFT format."

Kingsoft WPS in the DOS era

In other words, WPS can be opened directly using Microsoft Word and WPS format documents can be edited. This has caused the rapid loss of WPS users and has been subtly grafted to Microsoft Word through the bridge of "open formats".

, coupled with the subsequent rampant piracy, and a series of dimensionality reduction attacks, brought Kingsoft WPS to the verge of bankruptcy, while its competitor Microsoft has been prospering all the way.

So many years later, Lei Jun said: "We were fooled by Microsoft back then." If Kingsoft WPS had not cooperated with Microsoft, perhaps Microsoft would not have risen so quickly.

As we all know, Kingsoft WPS is full of talents.

Lei Jun

In addition to the well-known Zhang Xuanlong, Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, there are also CSDN founder Jiang Tao, 360 Security Guard person in charge Fu Sheng, and after coming out of Jinshan WPS, adhering to the Jinshan spirit , the hidden boss who is fighting to the death with Microsoft - Zhang Jun.

In 1999, the entire IT world believed in the credo of "programming cannot be separated from code" .

However, Zhang Jun, who was born in Luqiao, did not believe in this evil. He proposed a codeless method for the first time, and during the design, he innovatively proposed the thinking of "table programming".

founder of cloud table, Zhang Jun

In order to realize the formula function in excel, Zhang Jun studied the compilation principles of and . Later, he found that just knowing the compilation principles was far from solving practical problems.

Since then, Zhang Jun has taught himself linear algebra, , C++, and Java, which are the technologies needed for application software programming.

finally paid off. In 2010, China's first code-free open platform, the Cloud Table Enterprise Application Platform, was born.

Yunnan Komatsu ERP

Compared with Microsoft's well-known low-code open platform - PowerPlatform, the biggest advantage of the cloud table platform is that it is completely free from the constraints of code.

In other words, it turns single-choice questions into multiple-choice questions. Even if your business logic and business processes are complex, users can independently develop PLM, ERP, MES and other management software without writing a line of code. This If it were PowerPlatform, it would be difficult to implement without writing code.

project allocation plan

Moreover, if you are an programmer and want to type some code, the cloud table platform also supports it, and it fully supports JS scripts.

Since the cloud table platform is embedded with the MySQL database , you can add, delete, modify and check the system functions at will after performing some visual drag-and-drop programming.

Sales management cockpit

Whether it is permission settings, process approval, message push, statistical query, or Bluetooth printing, OpenAPI, docking various difficult business functions such as corporate WeChat, PDA, Kingdee, etc., it has everything here.

is developed in one piece, applicable to three terminals: PC terminal, H5 terminal, and app terminal, which is simple and convenient.

Visual large screen

For this reason, the cloud table platform is developing in full swing on the road of enterprise digital transformation to , and its function of generating a large visual screen in 7 minutes perfectly complements excel data fragmentation, inability to share in real time, etc. Short board.

Now, nearly 200,000+ well-known enterprises, institutions or institutions, including Huawei , China Railway, MCC, China Telecom , Hengyi Petrochemical , and Xu Ji Electric, have used Cloud Table as a code-free development tool. , as the standard supporting equipment for enterprise digital transformation.

Summary

Kingsoft WPS was fooled by Microsoft back then. Now, it is finally proud. Its successor, Yunbiao Platform, is determined to fight against Microsoft and win back the battle with its strength.

This time, Kingsoft WPS won by surprise!

As Mr. Zhang Jun said :

Only by putting complex problems (complex programming languages ​​and underlying IT architecture) in cages as much as possible and letting professionals take care of them can we better integrate our management ideas and management methods. , implemented through digital means, fully unleashing our management talents!

PS: It’s not easy to code, so you can give me a follow and encourage the author.
