"Wednesday, December 26, 2001 2:29 PM) Liu Yan
Wang Zhidong, General Manager of Si Tong Fang. Born in 1967, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. In 1988, he graduated from Peking University Radio Electronics; The second development of products and new products; Deputy General Manager and chief engineer; December 1993, founded four-Tongfang Information Technology Co., Ltd.
People are familiar with and admire Wang Zhidong is the first programmer written in the Windows Chinese platform. Bdwin, Chinese Star, Richwin made Wang Zhidong who were only written in five years have become a symbol of the second generation of Chinese 笫 after the Treatment of the DPRK. However, after the first version of the Richwin in 1994, Wang Zhidi put down the C language of the past, and held the handsome print of the general manager of the four-way distribution. The big finger of the new sky, make Wang Zhidong understand, creating a good software development environment more difficult than creating a good product. "I once wished to find a good environment for myself, so that I can not smell the window, concentrate on writing procedures, but domestic lack is this environment, there are many people in China, because of them, because they Don't understand how to manage, how to manage, how to grasp the direction. "Wang Zhidong found a few times and did not find a good environment for yourself, it will make a decision to create one for yourself. As the general manager of the four-way distributor, Wang Zhidong, now I have to consider how to streamline the program command, but - . "I want to consider, who is friends, and who hits my opponent. When doing friends, I should change the identity, I can't stand the wrong team." Government relationship. "Richwin is now included in the National 'Torch Plan', 863 Program, Science and Technology Achievement Plan, 'Ninth Five' Technical Reform Plan." Market Strategy. "It is very inconscious for the Chinese software market. We have chosen the market strategy for bundling and doing big users. This strategy is now very successful." And people's intelligence, don't take into account many non-logical factors, but software companies have asked to consider all aspects, which one has a problem, the whole company will not succeed. Technologies, good products; The market is still good, the relationship is better, the internal mechanism is more good. "All of these gave Wang Zhidong's great pressure, but Wang Zhidong, as the company's general manager," I want to push it. " According to Wang Zhidong's character, he "I don't like to chat, boast, practice your mouth. I don't like to see people to fight, I will persuade myself." From the programmer to the general manager, "To make a very painful sacrifice, we must get rid of the state of personal heroism. Maybe I want to fell to complete this shift, but also have a good opportunity, organize management and smart It is completely two things. "" More than five years of programmer, I feel that I haven't had enough addiction, I am very regret to only five years, in fact, until now, I often have to go back to write the process. My current situation is like The mouse stepping on the flywheel, the more you step on, it's all the power to give yourself, I have already stepped on it, I can't stop it. Maybe for three or five, the four-way persons did, I hired one General Manager, write a procedure yourself. "Look at Wang Zhidong's experience, you can understand why Wang Zhidong has made the general manager and want to go back to make programmers. 上 In 1987, Wang Zhidong read the big three in Beijing University, and I feel that I have earned almost the same, I entered Zhongguancun. Just asked Wang Zhidong in a small company, the machine, the front desk sales machine, the machine, the front desk sales machine, busy sneaked some Western software, without the source code, his Chinese version of AutoCAD, develop IBM5550 The Chinese character system. Just like this for a year. is a need for users to change the trajectory of Wang Zhidong's development. This user bought a northern part of the Typographic system, but also bought four-way 4S system, but the two typesetting software is different for hardware configuration requirements. It cannot be installed on the same machine. The merchant tells him that two PCs have to be bought, users When I was a headache for this, I met Wang Zidong when I was on the street. I asked Wang Zhidong couldn't help him. Wang Zhidong promised to try.
Foundation typography system and 4S system are different, the printer requirements are different, Wang Zhidong's program is to transplant the northern generic system to the new machine with 4S, which must change the pressed driver. Founder products are encrypted, Wang Zhidong first decrypts, then refract, and then modify. After a month, Wang Zhidong put two systems on a PC. This user is very excited, running to Fang Zheng: "You can't do anything, I am looking for someone to finish." Founder people do not believe that this customer takes the machine to give them a demonstration. Founded people looked at the demonstration, be sure to ask who is doing, the customer will boast Wang Zhidong. Since then, Wang Chiang remembers the name of Wang Zhidong. A few months later, a UN newspaper has proposed the same requirements to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng will find Wang Zhidong to solve the problem. I found that Wang Zidong was very capable. Founded people said to Wang Zhidong: "I know you on 'Street', my income is very rich, I am sorry to call you, but you can consider doing guest researchers." 进 方 正 上Wang Zhidong, which became "under the grassroots", through more than a year of exercise, I feel that Zhongguancun will roughly understand, and I am thinking of a regularization company cultivation. So, just follow the steps. In 1989, the imported Wang Zhidong like a firefighter, the main task is to solve the hardware compatibility and software special requirements of the square system. The square is controlling the program source code, and Wang Zhidong wants to compile the plurality of software in the case without the source code, and then resolve compatibility issues in Fouting software. "Encryption does not work, I can change the original encryption method, then, then give it to it with your own method." Founder's Weisns system decided to develop on Windows, but when Windows cannot handle Chinese Looking for Microsoft, Microsoft has not made a plan of WINDOWS Chinese version. Wang Chiang has arranged a student to do Windows Hanhua, for half a year, this student went to Canada. Wang Chiang thought Wang Zidong: "Can you make Windows Chinese?" The task is very difficult, to take out things in three months. "WINDOWS I have never touched it, and then, I am not particularly familiar with C. I used to change my own and debug. But I took my head, I promised it. I said, line, I will try it. Say, don't try it, stand a military order. I thought, my foot, not afraid of wearing shoes, big deal, how, Wang Zhidong officially arrived at the Institute of Queen. 王 王志东 is beginning to hide in their own houses, whoever people don't see, concentrate on their own procedures, and paid a variety of designs. After more than two months, Wang Zidong wrote Chinese WINDOWS1.0. 王志东 is driving too fast, it is not good. So he did a few Chinese Windows versions, and he returned to Fang Zheng Company from the Institute.
The plug-in Directly changed in Westein Windows, have problems with copyrights, the workload is very large, and it cannot be changed very complete, only can be used. Wang Zhidong suddenly thinks that it can solve the problem of Windows processing Chinese in WINDOWS. Wang Zhidong used a week of weekly spare time, and the plug-in method was verified. At this time, Wang Zhidong was excited. "This is the world's first Windows plug-in system. It turned out that the procedure of 10,000 lines was completely solved. Later, this process is more written, and the original English Windows All APIs can be used, all printers and monitors are supported. " Wang Zhidong's plug-in thought: assume that you design a Chinese Windows, each API can be defined by himself, but you can't write a complete Chinese Windows. So I had to parasitically parasitic on the English Windows, as long as the English WIND OWS can do, let English Windows do it, it can't do the Chinese section, do it yourself. The implementation method is to embed your code into English Windows, and dynamically put it into it. This seems to work on a Chinese operating system for application software and users. The plug-in system has two core concepts, one is the program trap, and the other is dynamic definition. "This system is stable, I just need to do my own Chinese, all of which are all dynamically defined, all of which use its original system. In principle, all Windows can be used, which solves Windows. The completeness and portability of Chinese processing. I was originally used in the research institute, and later proved that it is not good. The Taiwan BRIC will also make the kernel, but later Microsoft does not give authorization, it can't do it. And the plug-in is independent. "The program is finished, Wang Zhidong did not take it too serious, anyway, it is an amateur work," Because I have not completely thinking, how is this thing? Impact. But by the end of 1990, Window S3.0 was popular globally, and the domestic WINDOWS was also started in China. Taiwan has come out, and there are five or six versions of Changqing, Poly, Great Wall, etc., but it is very different. And I didn't use the Nuclear Kernel Program that I did in Fang Zheng. I have no one can use it. I am very urgent. I found the leadership of Fang Zheng, I know that I have this thing, but I I said something wrong, I said my things can be placed. "June 6, 1991, the first national WINDOWS seminar was held in Fuzhou, Wang Zhidong said that I would like to participate in the unit leader, and later said that I have to participate. In order to participate in this meeting, Wang Zhidong spent more than a week to live busy productization, test sample, promotional materials, after doing, Wang Zhidong gave it BDWIN. Bdwin got a meeting, shaking all the people who participated in the meeting, CCDOS inventors, this meeting's planner strictly developed a Chinese window, called Poly Video window, but he saw Wang Zhidong's BDWIN, said "My things are not pushed, push you, my things are not." Later, Yan auo chartered to Wang Zhidong made a general engineer. After the Fuzhou meeting came back, BDWIN did a few hundred sets of encryption cards, and the two months were sold out. BDWIN was rated as one of the seven results in 1991 in 1991.
Chinese Star October 1991 "Graduate from college, I don't read graduate students, because I think the school's things, I have learned almost, graduate students are equal to white time. For me, two or three years is a cycle, I have to learn in a cycle Things, I have to change myself. "" Wang Zhi, who left the Founder, face three roads: First, the office; the other is, abroad; three, go to foreign companies. Among them, the development of EDI and multimedia in Singapore, because the technology is more novel to Wang Zhidong's attraction. "I want to learn a bachelor's corporate management, learn for a few years, then come back to do it, practice English." Utilize the opportunity to go abroad, Wang Zhidong has done a new Chinese star version 1.0. Soon, he met with Peking University students on the street, and I saw this new game written by Wang Zhidong, I suggested that he will run a company. "Beida's classmates are special guilty, saying that my software is a banner of the Chinese software industry. We are talking about the rigor, but special speculation." Out of the country is eaten, but Wang Zhidong feels no Stimulating, although Singapore gives a technical immigration quota, it has been extended three times for Wang Zhidong visa, but Wang Zhidong has been drunk at the partnership office. At the end of April 1992, the establishment of Xintiandi, Wang Zhidong offers a general engineer and deputy general manager. "At that time, this kind of division of labor is natural, I am engaged in technology, the company has two stalls of management and technology, I can only manage technology, I don't care about technology, no personnel technology, I am too lazy to manage finance and people." On May 21, the Chinese Star 1.1 version of the show that debans appeared at the Beijingka will still come. At that time, Wang Zhidong didn't have money to rent the booth. It was too late to squeeze in the identity of the visitors. When I saw a space booth, I put the information to the person, propaganda, the owner of the booth ran. Later, I found a booth. It is a school. Wang Zhidong will tell others to solve it. When they come, Wang Zhidong gives him the introduction, sending information to him, this old man ignores, look at the booth, ask Wang Zhidong: "Where are you?" Wang Zidong said: "We are new heavens." The old man is happy: "This is our booth."
There has never been a savior, Wang Zhidong saved himself. Although he said, "When the general manager is being pushed into the water", if Wang Zhidong is not fashionable, will he still have today? Ask Bo Jun, Wang Jiangmin, Zhu Chongjun which is not because he is the Lord to himself, has a promising results today. Zhou Zhi Agriculturally wants to come out and open the company as a general manager. Bao Yueqiao, Jane Lease Hope The most likely the result is also yourself. Simply said that we don't understand it before, but you can learn, at least try to see if you can learn. Wang Zhidong is very right. From a programmer to a manager, it is not only a capacity and psychological issue, but also have a chance. I wish you good luck in Bao Yue Bridge. For the program to write out the classification, the programs of the ambition, the two ear does not smell the window, and only the simple ideas that only want to write the program. Who didn't pay the hard work, who could only manage it by others. Wu Xiaojun left Xiaojun Computer Company, Xiaojun Company is still called Xiao Jun Company; Wang Zhidong left new heavens and earth, and the new world still saved the Chinese star, which can be replaced by this, and the Technical and Control Company of the programmer. Compared with the power, it is very fragile. Therefore, the programmer is always the weak. The Chinese star is almost famous for a night, and it will be opened in a short month. The company's original position is: is famous for the Chinese Star, do not know, with this banner to conduct finance, real estate speculation. This is a very fashionable company architecture at the time. But the world is always unexpected. At the end of 1992, in early 1993, the Chinese Star began to profit, and real estate did not earn money. In early 1993, the company has begun to have contradictions. Wang Zhidong feels very painful: "I don't go to the state-owned unit, until the company; did not stay in the square, my own office, the purpose is to find a very easy work environment, if you do in your own company Inside, there is such a big person, the power is contradictory, then I have completely departed away my original intention. "I have been in the seven-eight months, the contradiction is further intensive, Wang Zhidong feels dragged down, it is absolutely not a good thing for himself," I can don't, But I can't don't want my freedom, and I didn't take the Chinese star this product itself too serious. This thing seems to be a job. "Although Wang Zhidong relieving himself, the Chinese star is in full He too much heart, the Chinese star is like his son. He is now paying for his original childish idea. At the beginning of the company, everyone agreed that Wang Zhidong registered Chinese Star as a personal invention, and let Wang Zhidong as a legal representative, Wang Zhidong said: "I am too lazy to consider you, I still do technology. I was worried about myself. If the power is in me, it is unbalanced. "Although" the son "is hard," "I can't help the son." Wang Zhidong resigned.
6.5 million US dollars risk investment injection 王 王志东 is sad and feeling for a long time. "I found a hard-walking road. Others may think that the scenery is still very good, but I am coming over, it is already a scar. At this time, Microsoft hints to go directly to the United States, there will be better treatment, but Going abroad is a way back, I am not dying. "After the resignation, Wang Zhidi found several big companies such as Fang Zheng, Lenovo, Great Wall, I want to convince them to join us to set up a new company to develop Chinese platform, because Wang Zhidong feels that they need new Chinese Platform, but Wang Zhidong touched a nose ash. At this time, the four-way found Wang Zhidong, Wang Zhidong also looked at the system of four-way, four-way, established, Wang Zhidong pro-general manager. From the end of 1993 to March 1994, Wang Zhidong led the six seven programmers, did not develop day and night, and the program was nearly 1 million. Wang Zhidong appointed that Richwin was the fastest 3 years to do the entire framework, and its technology will have 5 years to 10 years. This is later verified correctly. "Richwin has surpassed the Chinese platform concept I proposed in 1992. It is necessary to provide users with a real application environment. Chinese problem is responsible for solving, and it is necessary to solve it. In addition, it still To system enhancement, there must be Chinese application tools and applications, such as dictionary, Internet application tools, Chinese tools, etc. Therefore, Richwin is named as multi-system support environments, which is the development of Chinese platforms to Chinese application platforms. " After the product is finished, the company is stable. The market also got up, Wang Zhidong concentrated on the company's internationalization. "Chinese companies have too distinct Chinese characteristics, so we must use foreign advanced management experience and management mechanisms." In 1995, Wang Zhidong went to Silicon Valley twice, and friends introduced him several venture capital funds. "I am very like to watch at the university," Silicon Valley Hot ", the impression is the most impressive, Jobs wears broken to find the banker, want him to invest, Apple is famous for one night. At that time, I was wearing it although not Very broken, it is also very falling. "The people talked at the time were giving Netscape, about an hour, but Wang Zhidong talks about two and a half hours. Wang Zhidong asked people to give up their ideas. The other party said, "Your company is too small, investment is 6.4 million US dollars, but the business is very interesting. To fight for the risk fund, we must enter the international transformation." Wang Zhidong found Roberts Sti Wen Si Company, hired them to do investment consultants, Carried out a year of business renovation. In 1997, three investors were selected, and a portion of the four-way distribution was purchased with $ 6.5 million. "So the company's capital is increased, the company's management is also more standardized." Risk funds for special lack of Chinese software companies are a dose, but Wang Zhidong reminded: "Eat tonic, but also to see your physical strength, make up Not good is to bleed in seven, "
