The market in China is huge, but not many companies in an industry can survive! Usually, we don't know much about other industries. Take the internet for example; there were more than 20 companies in the country at the peak of shared bicycles, but only two or three survived in the end.
Many strong competitors are fighting for supremacy, and the world is divided into three parts!
This is not just the case with shared bicycles, but also with e-commerce, group buying, takeaways and other fields.
'Do you think that China needs its own industrial software?'
Mi Yi looked at Han Songlin strangely: 'Of course it needs it. Someone else's is fine, but it's more comfortable to use your own!'
A very important reason why domestically produced industrial software can now occupy a place in China is that it understands the habits of Chinese users better.
Everything that comes to China has to be localised, and Chinese products that go abroad also have to be localised.
Everyone knows this in the future, but at the moment, few people realise it.
For example, Penguin didn't realise this at the beginning, and when it tried to go to sea for development, it came straight back down.
Han Songlin nodded gently, looking at Mi Yi. This girl is someone you should fight for.
'You studied abroad, didn't you?'
'Well, Foggy University!' Studying abroad is not a particularly fond memory for Mi Yi.
Mi Yi is deeply aware of one thing: if you're weak, you'll be bullied!
'Nowadays, very few people who study abroad come back, you...'
Mi Yi: 'A foreign land is not my home!'
Han Songlin laughed and said no more. Sure enough, there is never a shortage of people in China who love this land.
'Lv Zhiyong, let's chat!'
Lv Zhiyong patted Liu Yang on the shoulder and laughed, 'You watch for a bit, I'll be right back!'
Liu Yang smiled at Lv Zhiyong and looked at Han Songlin. Naturally, he knew why Han Songlin had come to Hopewill Software.
The other people's gazes also noticed Lv Zhiyong and Han Songlin.
Although no one said anything, everyone knew that the company's situation was not as good as it seemed.
'Let's go to the meeting room!'
Lv Zhiyong searched the crowd with his eyes and shouted, 'Bi Yuan, Xie Ligang, come with us!'
Bi Yuan and Xie Ligang looked up at Lu Zhiyong: 'Right away!'
Bi Yuan graduated from the Computer Science Department of Jingcheng University, and Xie Ligang and Lu Zhiyong studied together in the United States.
Put it this way, the three of them are the founders of Wangzhixiang.
The conference room is not big, and it is not used very often. In fact, there are not many things that require a meeting in the whole company.
Even technical problems are not solved in the conference room!
'This place is too close to the street!'
Mi Yi asked doubtfully, 'Is it bad to be close to the street?'
There is nothing wrong with that!
At this time, there was no rolling traffic on the road, and the capital was not yet the first to be congested!
In terms of the number of cars in the capital, it is definitely the absolute leader in the country, but in terms of the number of cars owned, it may not be as high as the number of cars owned by a county in twenty years.
Han Songlin noticed that Lv Zhiyong had entered and smiled, 'For research and development, it shouldn't be in the city centre, but in a beautiful place with mountains and rivers, where a software park is specially built.'
Software park!
Lv Zhiyong and Mi Yi dare not think about such things now.
Bi Yuan and Xie Ligang followed and came over as well. Lv Zhiyong looked at the two of them and said, "Han Dong, everyone knows each other, so there's no need for introductions, right?'
Han Songlin shook his head with a smile, "No!'
'President Lv, I have already communicated with you before. What are your thoughts on the acquisition by Xinghai Group?'
Mi Yi looked at Lv Zhiyong in puzzlement. How come he hadn't told me about this?
Lv Zhiyong also realised that he had really forgotten to tell Mi Yi about this.
'I called you, but you didn't answer. Then, I forgot to tell you about it!'
Han Songlin was slightly taken aback. This was a bit hurtful.
Mi Yi couldn't help but scoff in his heart. You only called one? Don't you know to call two more?
'It's okay!'
Lv Zhiyong looked at Han Songlin, and then stopped at Bi Yuan and Xie Ligang.
Bi Yuan and Xie Ligang nodded at Lv Zhiyong. The three of them had discussed this matter.
They had previously rejected Han Songlin because they believed that with their skills, they could definitely carve out a niche for themselves.
Or put it another way, they believed that technology could win the market.
But what is the reality?
Youwang Software is doing better in software, but there is no market for it.
When they go door-to-door to sell it, no one uses their software.
In fact, there is also a problem with whom they sell to, mainly looking for private enterprises.
What are most private enterprises these days?
Labour-intensive, extensive operations, and very few of them focus on technological investment and research and development.
Of course, companies that focused on technology and research and development in the 1990s are all very successful in the future.
Companies that realise that technology is fundamental at this time are bound to be run by people with foresight. If such a person leads the company, if he doesn't succeed, who will!
As for state-owned enterprises?
No one would use the software of Youwang, as I said before, there are many industrial software design companies in China nowadays.
Many of these companies were founded by various design institutes.
'Han Dong, if you acquire Youwang, what are your plans for its future development?'
Han Songlin pondered for a moment, crossed his arms on the table, and then said after a long while, 'In my future plans, industrial software will play a central role!'
'The advent of computer-aided design has made designers' lives much easier, saving a lot of time on drawing and allowing them to focus more on the design itself. Its role in industry is self-evident, and good industrial software is simply too important!'
'Do you know what I learned from the collapse of the Soviet Union?'
Lü Zhiyong and the other three were a little confused. Why did he suddenly mention the former Soviet Union?
Han Songlin had a simple reason for saying this. He was convinced that everyone at the table absolutely loved their country.
'A great country has no right to surrender!'
Lü Zhiyong and the other three were taken aback. They couldn't help but think of the current situation of the polar bears, which was simply beyond words.
'Our country cannot be held hostage by foreign countries. We must have our own industrial software. I have seen a lot of domestic industrial software, and I have high hopes for Xiwang Software.'
'To be honest, your management is not very good. But I don't care about that. What I value most is your technology and your pursuit of technological progress.'
'Xinghai Group is now involved in vehicle manufacturing, engine manufacturing, and the manufacturing of auto and engine parts. Do you know how much money the entire Xinghai Group invested in research and development in the first half of this year?'
'200 million! This is the money invested purely in research, not including the salary expenses of R&D personnel.'
A research investment of 200 million seems a bit low.
But we must consider it in the context of the times.
At this time, investing 1 million could develop an electric starter engine for motorcycles, which would directly generate profits of tens of millions of yuan. It was a very simple matter.
