Vol 2 Chapter 1150: Changing the power of IT

One thousand one hundred and fifty chapters

The power to change it

"Sun" was acquired by "Oracle", which is definitely an earthquake in the industry.

Although the "Oracle" company has been extraordinarily public and provocative, "Oracle" is also a software company. Although it is the world's second largest software IT company, second only to "Microsoft", it does not hold the "operating system" as a big killer like "Microsoft" after all, and it occupies more than 95% of the industry's market share. Therefore, although the "Oracle" is very good, it is nothing more than that for those opponents that Ellison provokes. A relatively powerful and annoying opponent, but it is not too worthy of a serious battle, like a life and death enemy. opponent.

But now, after "Oracle" acquired "sun", it is completely different, the meaning has completely changed, and it is an essential change. Although "sun" is only a software company, it is a qualitative leap for "Oracle". You know, "sun" is undoubtedly the most famous for the creation of the "java" language, which is the most popular language on the Internet, it can be said to be the first language on the Internet, and now it is coupled with the "Oracle" super database. With super network language + super database, and supplemented by "cloud computing", this super integrated software, "Oracle" can be said to have truly reached the realm of keeping pace with "Microsoft".

Although the current fields of the two companies are not the same, they only compete in the field of server software, but with the acquisition of "sun" by "Oracle", the acquisition of "java", the advent of the network age, and the advent of Ellison This lunatic has always regarded defeating "Microsoft" as its number one goal, and the two super software companies in the future will definitely want to fight each other. In the past, although Ellison provokes "Microsoft", he was more verbal and did not have much actual actions, but in the future, I am afraid that will not be the case.

"This lunatic actually bought'sun' silently!" Steve Ballmer, the president of "Microsoft", had a look of indignation when he received the news.

During this time, "Microsoft" has been struggling with the issue of acquiring "Yahoo". After all, this is an opportunity. To know that "Baidu Portal" is fighting against "Google", the two companies themselves do not have the energy to temporarily take care of the acquisition of "Yahoo" by "Microsoft". Regardless of the final victory of the two companies, there will definitely be a market vacuum. At this time, "Microsoft" just took advantage of the emptiness. After the acquisition of "Yahoo", the greatest benefit can be obtained!

No, for the so-called dignity and arrogance, Yang Zhiyuan actually rejected the US$47 billion acquisition plan of "Microsoft". This makes "Microsoft" quite annoyed, but the acquisition of "Yahoo" is imperative, which is very important for "Microsoft"'s next 10-year plan. Therefore, in the recent period, all the attention of "Microsoft" has been on the acquisition of "Yahoo", and therefore has not noticed the small actions of "Oracle", otherwise it will definitely pay attention to the clues of "Oracle" acquiring "sun". At that time, "Microsoft" could make little moves at will. Even if it couldn't completely destroy "Oracle" to acquire "sun", it could still create a little more trouble in the middle.

"Forget it, Steve, don't care about'Oracle', we just need to do our own thing. I believe that'Microsoft' is the best software company on the planet!"-"Microsoft" founder Bill -Gates said lightly.

Steve Ball was slightly shocked when he heard the words. Yes, no matter what company Ellison acquired, "Microsoft" is "Microsoft", and it is the best software company on the planet. Thinking of this, Steve Ballmer calmed down, and Bill Gates seemed to know him again.

Although Bill Gates has always created the "Microsoft" myth, he is the creator of the American Dream and the idol of countless people, but Steve Ballmer has always believed that Bill Gates is not a qualified leader. He is more suitable to be a technician, which is now his title-chief architecture engineer. But at this moment, upon hearing Bill Gates' words, Steve Ballmer realized that although Bill Gates is not a qualified leader, he is definitely a qualified boss.

He has excellent vision and majestic atmosphere, this is the key reason why "Microsoft" has been able to flourish!

auzw.com Compared with the calmness of "Microsoft", many "Oracle" competitors on the market felt a panic. The "Oracle" that acquired "sun" is no longer what ordinary companies can handle. I am afraid that only "Microsoft" can be so magnificent, ignoring the "rise" of "Oracle" again.

Of course, the acquisition of "sun" by "Oracle" is not enough to make the outside world really boil, what is really boiled is another news immediately.

After Oracle purchased "sun" again, it did not wait for the outside world to fully digest the news, and then made a big deal again and purchased the "Nvidia" company for nearly the same price of 7.2 billion US dollars. Of course, after acquiring the "sun" company, "Oracle" did not have enough funds to acquire "Nvidia". This time, "Oracle" and "Phantom Technology" jointly acquired "Nvidia", and the two companies each accounted for 50%. % Shares.

Boom! Regarding this news, the entire IT industry is like a volcano erupting, the world is falling apart, all companies are shocked, all boiled, and they are all stunned, even if it is the previously extremely calm "Microsoft" and the "ibm" that has always been hidden. Face this The news was shocked and speechless.

"Nvidia", the English name "nvidia", is a semiconductor company that designs display chips and motherboard chipsets. It is the well-deserved king of display chips in the personal computer industry, and a company at the core of the personal computer industry. Although its every move is not as big as "Intel" on the personal computer industry, it is definitely not to be underestimated. Today, such a company has been acquired!

In fact, this is not to blame "Nvidia" for lack of spine, but to blame the opponent for being too tough. In the past two years, although "Nvidia" has an overwhelming advantage in the stand-alone graphics card market, it is extremely depressing that although the market is dominant, the profits are not dominant, and even a slight loss. One reason for this is the "ati" hardware development department of the "Second World", which is the original "ati" company. Since the "ati" company joined the "Second World" and has sufficient funds for research and development, its product development has been faster from generation to generation. This year, "ati"'s leading product radeon 9800-pro, has actually dropped the price to 1,499 yuan. Last year, the price was still as high as 3,000 yuan, a full half price reduction. Formed, high-end products, low-end prices.

Its corresponding "Nvidia" products are currently priced at as high as 1999 yuan, a difference of as much as 500 yuan, but the performance is almost the same. And this phenomenon of great price contrast is not only present in the high-end graphics card market. Regardless of high-end, mid-range, or low-end products, although the current "NVIDIA" graphics card, also known as the "n card", is slightly ahead of all levels of "ati" graphics cards in terms of performance, the price difference between the two parties is one. Grade.

Therefore, for consumers, they can take the "Tian Ji Horse Racing" method to choose their own "ati graphics card", which is the legendary "a card", which has caused great pressure on "Nvidia". However, "Nvidia" is also quite helpless. There is no way, behind "ati" is the backing of "Second World", and its boss is Lin Feng, the richest man in the world, but Lin Feng is still willing to lose money. What can "Nvidia" do?

Who made "ati" merged into the "Second World", and met Lin Feng, a lunatic, who allowed "ati" to not make a cent, just to grab the market. Therefore, when "Nvidia" encounters this kind of lunatic opponent who would rather not profit, as long as the market is mad, it can only bow down. Although they also chose to cut prices, there is no doubt that "ati" has lost money. With the ability to make money in the "second world", "ati" can continue to lose money, while "Nvidia" is different. They don't have any. The "Second World" is backed by a strong financial backer, which can make their hearts lose money.

Therefore, when "Oracle" proposed the acquisition, "Nvidia" agreed to the acquisition of "Oracle" after some careful consideration. After all, US$7.2 billion is quite a lot, which is 130% more than the current stock market value of Nvidia. “Nvidia” is already quite satisfied. Of course, when they learned that the partner of "Oracle" to acquire "Nvidia" was "Phantom Technology", everyone was quite thrilled.

You know, "Phantom Technology" is under the umbrella of Lin Feng. Now that the two companies each own 50% of "Nvidia", the relationship between the owners of the two companies, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to say that "Nvidia" belongs to Lin Feng.

Think about it, Lin Feng owns "amd", "NVIDIA" and "ati" alone, and his energy is enough to change the development of the computer game industry. Absolutely have this qualification! Regarding that his company, like "ati", fell into the control of Lin Feng, "NVIDIA" sighed helplessly.

Although I am a little unwilling, but who makes people rich and powerful, there is no way!

Compared with "Nvidia"'s acceptance of fate and agreement to be acquired, the faces of other companies are really wonderful.
