199 1 year165438+1October 4th, in Lei Jun's own words, is "I will always remember this day". There is a computer exhibition on this day. At the meeting, Lei Jun met Qiu Bojun, the father of WPS whom he admired for a long time.
Lei Jun said: "What I saw was a very handsome young man with a famous brand all over his body. I was really shocked at the time and thought it was a symbol of success. "
Later, when he saw it, he had to give a contact information. He handed Qiu Bojun a business card with only his name and pager number printed on it. At that time, Qiu Bojun gave Lei Jun a business card with "Hong Kong Jinshan Vice President" printed on it.
The second meeting between Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun was that the male god took the initiative to invite Lei to join Jinshan. At that time, Lei Jun was a deer in his heart.
Qiu Bojun succeeded in Jinshan because he wrote the program. If Jinshan can create the first Qiu Bojun, it will create the second and third. In this way, Lei Jun became the sixth employee of Jinshan.
1998, 29-year-old Lei Jun was promoted to general manager of Jinshan Company. "Knowing Qiu Bojun is a turning point in my life."
Extended data:
When Qiu Bojun first arrived in Shenzhen, Stone put him in charge of a business department of the company. It happened that Zhang's younger brother Zhang Xiaolong was doing business with him. Even if you do business with good friends, Qiu Bojun can't make money.
Several years later, Qiu Bojun and Zhang Xiaolong mentioned the profession of businessmen in a chat, and Zhang Xiaolong revealed how much money he earned from those businesses. Qiu Bojun said with a smile, "No wonder I can't make money. You earned all the money. "
Let Qiu Bojun do business, just like finding a fish from a tree, and give him an environment to concentrate on developing software, like a duck to water. At this moment, Hong Kong Jinshan Company promised to provide him with conditions to concentrate on developing WPS. "No high-paying job is enough."
Qiu Bojun decided to give it a shot. His goal is clear: to build a Hanka font library and write a word processing system, which can replace WordStar. This goal is the later WPS.
