[The following story is purely fictional. Any similarities are purely coincidental.]
He even said that the world had suffered for a long time. It seemed like the grudges were very deep.
Following that, when CEO Wang spoke, Jia Yapeng could feel his deep resentment.
In CEO Wang's own words, those who came to Fangzheng Technology Company were actually losers of Peking University's Fangzheng. They were ostracized by others.
After Peking University's Fangzheng grew stronger, the company developed two different factions, the hardware faction and the software faction.
The hardware faction hoped to enter the market of computers. Like Lenovo, they relied on selling computers and the corresponding computer accessories to earn money.
As for the software faction, they believed that the most important thing about computers was not the hardware, but the software. The potential of the software was limitless. Software was the future.
These two factions inevitably fought. The software faction hoped to get more funds to develop software such as the office system and management system.
And they had an even greater dream. They hoped to create a computer operating system that belonged to Hua Xia.
The hardware faction believed that the software was just an accessory to the hardware. It was enough to drive the hardware to operate normally. There was no need to invest large amounts of funds to write software. It was a waste of money.
Hence, these two factions began to fight.
These two factions fought intensely in the beginning, not giving in to each other. But gradually, the software faction could not win.
The reason was simple. It could be blamed on a single word, "piracy".
No software could withstand the threat of piracy. Pirated software had forced many software companies in Hua Xia to their deaths. Peking University's Fangzheng software department was inevitably cheated badly.
In order to prove their strength, the software faction spent two years and a large amount of funds to write a WPS office software.
But this software was a failure. This was because the domestic Jinshan company had also launched their own WPS office software. Peking University's Fangzheng office software was completely defeated by the opponent. It was badly abused by Jinshan's WPS.
That was fine. At least there was still a market for it. But soon, pirated software swept the entire market. A set of office software that was originally priced at 1,200 yuan was sold for only 15 yuan. Even a fool would know which choice to make.
Peking University's Fangzheng Software Department instantly collapsed. They had invested close to 5 million yuan in research and development, but only managed to recover less than 100,000 yuan. The huge loss caused the entire Software Department to collapse within the company. They became a waste of the company's funds and were called fools by everyone.
It just so happened that the higher-ups wanted Peking University's Fangzheng Technologies to be listed. Hence, Peking University's Fangzheng Technologies took the opportunity to send all the disobedient members of the software faction to Fangzheng Technologies. He even said that he was giving them a chance to go solo, allowing them to develop according to their own wishes.
At the same time, considering that Peking University's Fangzheng's software department did not have any outstanding products, they did not meet the requirements to be listed. Hence, the display business was handed over to Fangzheng Technology Group.
In the end, Fangzheng Technology Group became a strange company where everyone was a programmer but only sold monitors.
Even at this stage, Peking University's Fangzheng would not let them off. In order to firmly control the independent Fangzheng Technology, only 160,000 of the 200,000 shares were issued when the shares were issued. The remaining 40,000 shares were in the hands of Peking University's Fangzheng Group. This way, they would have 20% of the shares.
With the remaining 80% of the shares in the hands of individual investors, Peking University's Fangzheng Group was equivalent to having a controlling stake in Fangzheng Technology Group.
At the same time, using this controlling stake, Peking University's Fangzheng used all sorts of methods to transfer the 3.6 million yuan earned from selling Fangzheng Technology Group's shares back to Peking University's Fangzheng Group. He even said that this was compensation for the 5 million yuan loss from their failed research and development.
In the end, a listed company like Fangzheng Technology Group did not even have 100,000 yuan in its books.
What was worse was that in the 90s, there was no such thing as buying all sorts of components to save up for a computer. Customers could only buy the entire computer, and monitors had to be paired with the entire computer to sell. No one would buy a monitor alone.
This resulted in Fangzheng Technology Group having to rely on Peking University's Fangzheng. Otherwise, as long as Peking University's Fangzheng refused to buy their monitors, Fangzheng Technology Group would instantly lose all of their main business and be done for.
After all, Fangzheng Technology Group only had an old monitor production line. If Peking University's Fangzheng refused to buy their products, other computer companies would definitely not want these outdated monitors.
What was even more tragic was that a few directors of Fangzheng Technology Group wanted to save themselves. They each used all their savings to buy Fangzheng Technology Group's shares on the market. However, at that time, the stock market was at its peak. Even after using all their savings, they only managed to buy less than 20,000 shares. There was still a gap from Peking University's Fangzheng Group's 40,000 shares.
But in the end, when they bought back all their shares, the stock market crashed. The stock price dropped overnight. All the shares that they had bought with all their savings had almost all turned into scrap paper.
From this, it was clear how much Fangzheng Technology Group's people hated Peking University's Fangzheng. Their grudge was endless.
Therefore, when Jia Yapeng suddenly appeared and took out nearly 70% of his shares, Manager Wang immediately turned against him and supported Jia Yapeng. He hoped that his company would be able to escape the control of Peking University's Fangzheng.
"That is to say, the entire technical backbone of Peking University's Fangzheng software team is in Fangzheng Technology Group!" Jia Yapeng was not interested in knowing the grudge between them. But if the entire software team was in Fangzheng Technology Group, then it was of great significance. These outstanding programmers were wealth that could not be bought with money!
"Most of them are here!" Manager Wang sighed. "There are still some who can't stay any longer and left. Even two of our five good brothers left. Only three are left."
"But our team's strength is still there. We are all experienced programmers. This is our biggest advantage!" When Manager Wang said this, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Jia Yapeng narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
"We hope that the chairman can help us escape Peking University's Fangzheng's control!" Manager Wang said. "You are the chairman of the company. Fangzheng's 20% shares are nothing in front of you. This is just a matter of saying a word to you!"
"This is indeed a matter of saying a word!" Jia Yapeng nodded. "But if I were to appear, Peking University's Fangzheng would fly into a rage out of humiliation and take back your monitor business. Then what will you rely on to make a living in the future?"
"This …" Mr. Wang's originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant, but he quickly said firmly, "We are a software team. We don't need too much money. We only need computers to write programs, and we can develop software anytime and anywhere!"
"Actually, the few of us have been doing market research recently. We found that Hua Xia people's demand for typing is increasing. They are very eager to have a software to learn and practice typing. So we feel that in the future, we can develop a software like Fangzheng Typing. It will definitely sell well!"
"Fangzheng Typing?" Jia Yapeng's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed like the software team of Fangzheng Technology Group was not hopeless. On the contrary, they were extremely creative and talented!
"Actually, why do you insist on sticking to the mess that is Fangzheng Technology Group?" Jia Yapeng smiled. "I have a plan. It can scam Peking University's Fangzheng and help you vent your anger. It can also give you a chance."
Therefore, in this small room, the two evil fellows began an evil plot.
