For a piece of software, users only have the right to use it after purchasing it.
Moreover, it is not that if a company buys one set, the whole company can use it, but if a company buys one set, it can only be used by one computer. If you want to use other computers, you have to pay for it. Therefore, regardless of the fact that the right to use a set of software and a computer only costs hundreds or thousands, or even more than 10,000, it is almost negligible for a large company, but considering the number of computers within a large company, the cost is an astronomical figure.
Any number multiplied by a large base is a big deal.
How many people does Hua Long company have?
So far, the total has exceeded 10,000 people. Excluding employees who do not use computers, those positions that must use computers are calculated in thousands. Especially since Hua Long Company is in the high-tech field, at least half of its employees must use computers, and some departments have more than one person using one.
In the production line, although those employees do not use computers, the production line they are on uses more than one.
Lin Director Lin adds up to more than 5,000 units.
These computers must be equipped with corresponding operating systems, professional software, etc.
The fee application form submitted by the Research and Development Department was only for the Research and Development Department's computer, but there were hundreds of them, and each computer was equipped with several types of software that required payment to foreign software manufacturers. Of course, when Hua Long looked at the total cost, it did not exceed two million.
Well, two million is just drizzle to Hua Long Technology. Hua Long can get it with a stroke of a pen. Sometimes it is not enough for him to eat a meal.
However, this is just Research and Development Department. Other departments are also looking for him to apply for fees during this time.
Hua Long If someone did the math, it would almost exceed 10 million. This is not a small amount of money.
If you pay in installments and pay a little every month, that's fine. Hua Long Technology also did this before. But now a one-time payment of more than 10 million is required, and some software requires continuous payment in the future. This makes Hua Long very unhappy, thinking, "This is simply a money grab!"
I'm afraid of being cut with a dull knife!
Not to mention foreign countries, even in China, many software have monthly or yearly payment usage fees. It may seem like dozens or hundreds are not much, but lifetime payment is a headache. Because if I don't use your software, I can stop using all other software. The key is that I still need to use other software and pay for it.
"...President Zhou, I wonder how your company solved it?"
Hua Long and Zhou Feiyu chatted for a while, and then turned the topic to the software problem. They said with emotion, "This problem is also a big problem. I don't know how many companies are threatened by them. If any domestic IT company solves these problems, no, even if it solves one or two pieces of software, it will greatly improve the operating environment of the entire domestic enterprise."
"General Hua, what a coincidence, I was also trying to find you about this matter."
Zhou Feiyu answered him with a smile, "As for the localization of professional software, Feiyang has made some achievements during this period, and I want to talk to domestic colleagues and customers. If you don't come to me, I will also plan to find you in the near future."
Hua Long asked in surprise, "President Zhou, how do you say this?"
He understood the meaning. Did Feiyang localize some of the professional software that could be used?
The next moment, before he could figure out the reason, Zhou Feiyu gave him a clear answer, "General Hua, some professional software that your company will use, such as structural, electronic, simulation and other software, if necessary, Feiyang can provide it. As for the price, General Hua, don't worry, I guarantee that the price/performance ratio will exceed that of foreign software."
"Is this true?"
Hua Long was immediately shocked.
"Natural!"
Zhou Feiyu affirmed, and then asked him in a questioning tone, "If Feiyang hadn't solved the software problem, does General Hua think Feiyang's life would be easy now?"
Hua Long is still unbelievable, but Zhou Feiyu is so sure, he believes it 60% to 70% in his heart.
Zhou Feiyu said again, "General Hua, please provide a list. Feiyang will provide a trial version for you to use first. What do you think?"
Hua Long was finally convinced of the matter at this time. He looked a little dazed, and subconsciously replied, "Okay, I will arrange for someone to provide it immediately."
This matter was really beyond Hua Long's expectations. He had no idea of this in his mind, and he couldn't even think about it. Feiyang actually solved the problem of professional software being stuck?
I also wanted to make this call to consult Feiyang to see if they had adopted other methods to deal with the other party's ban, or to reconcile privately, or which force came forward to mediate, or which force provided technical support.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Feiyu actually gave an unexpected answer. Feiyang has completed the localization of all professional software, and there is no need to rely on others anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Hua Long was still a little dazed.
After a while, almost half a quarter of an hour passed before Hua Long really woke up and returned to his usual shrewd and capable self, and then called his secretary.
"Go, count the foreign software used within the company, and make a list. It needs to be detailed and quick. The statistics will be sent out before get off work today. Send it to Fei Yang Company, copy it to me."
Hua Long said, handing over all the orders related to foreign software requisition orders. "I will not approve these orders for the time being, and tell the people below not to come and press them."
"Okay, boss!"
The secretary was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter in his mind, "What's going on? Is this a big move?"
The secretary is very familiar with the current situation of the company. He knows that the boss has not approved the software problem, so many departments are calling.
But looking at it now, the boss obviously has other ideas.
Organizing a list? Is this the final negotiation with the other party?
Hua Long's order made not only the secretary speculate, but also when it reached various departments in the company, people in almost every department were guessing and started talking about it.
"Why does the boss suddenly want this list?"
"You need to provide it before get off work? It's so urgent!"
"Is the company making any big moves?"
Research and Development Department and Project Department were not far apart. A group of people immediately started discussing Project Department. The core of the discussion was Wang Wei, an old classmate of Zhou Feiyu.
"Wang Wei, do you know the inside story? Send the materials list to Fei Yang Company. It seems that the boss has talked with Fei Yang Company and asked Fei Yang Company to help us solve this problem?"
Someone asked Wang Wei.
"I have no inside information."
Wang Wei shrugged and replied helplessly.
He knew what these people were thinking, and they just wanted him to reveal some inside information about Fei Yang Company.
At this moment, he was murmuring in his heart, "Isn't my old classmate a material developer? How come he knows software? Is it possible that he secretly learned IT technology when he was in school?"
He and his colleagues were equally confused and shocked. Wasn't this Feiyang too powerful?
I am a good person when it comes to materials. Is it possible that I am also a good person when it comes to software?
The most shocking thing is of course the IT Department door of Hua Long Technology.
"Good guy, provide the list to Feiyang, what is this operation?"
IT Department Door Director Luo Bixian After receiving this order from the secretary, his face suddenly became ugly, with a faint greenness.
