Blue giant ibm

For "Microsoft", the current primary goal is still to acquire "Yahoo", and everything else can be postponed. As for the "Oracle" that acquired "sun" and "Nvidia", although it seems to be powerful, as long as "Microsoft" can acquire "Yahoo", then "Oracle" is a paper tiger, and the other "sacred horses" are all clouds and clouds.

"Microsoft" is calm, it is "Microsoft" after all!

As for the other rival of "Oracle", the face of "Apple" President Jobs is not to mention more exciting. Originally Steve Jobs was still watching the show. This extraordinary drama, the dispute between "Baidu Portal" and "google", and the lunatic Ellison actively involved in this war, made this Internet search engine dispute even more exciting.

Jobs originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to allow "Apple" to restore its former glory in this troubled world. Therefore, the entry of the lunatic Ellison, in Jobs's view, was a **** that could disrupt the whole situation. Unexpectedly, Ellison secretly passed Chen Cang's hand in such a hand, and unexpectedly bought "Sun" and "Nvidia" quietly, which was too exciting for Jobs. He felt that he seemed to be fooled by Lin Feng and Ellison's joint efforts.

Before Lin Feng and "google" clamored wildly, they actually claimed 1 billion US dollars from "google" in court. After that, Ellison also publicly supported "Baidu Portal". Just when everyone was expecting the melee of the three companies, "Oracle" Suddenly, there was an unexpected surprise to everyone. They successively acquired "sun" and "Nvidia" and became a super software company in one fell swoop. When "Oracle" digests "sun" and "Nvidia", it can be said to be immediately after the reintegration. Become one of the super giants in the IT industry, a giant that can compete with super companies such as "Microsoft" and "ibm".

Thinking of the future prospects of "Oracle", Jobs felt bitter in his mouth. Not only is it out of play now, I am afraid that "Apple" has a strong opponent ever since. You should know that after Oracle owns "sun" and "Nvidia", it has independent hardware and software development capabilities, and will be able to launch professional server hardware bundled with database software. This conflicts with the profits of "Apple".

Thinking of this, Jobs had a headache. Fortunately, for Ellison, the real number one enemy is "Microsoft", not "Apple". For Jobs, it may be self-comforting. After all, the lunatic Ellison has the strength and is the first one. It is "Microsoft" to deal with, because he still doesn't look down on "Apple".

Ellison's thought was unfortunate or lucky for Jobs.

As for the other opponent of "Oracle", the blue giant-ibm, this deep IT giant, is also the first time to be shaken by business events. For a long time, in the IT industry, although there is not much news about ibm, unlike other IT companies, news is flying around every day, not acquiring or selling new products, "ibm" seems to be invisible in the IT industry, many very young Internet users , I have even only heard of the term "ibm". As for what "ibm" is for, many people don't know it yet, and it can be imagined that it is low-key.

But this time, "Oracle" successively acquired "sun" and "Nvidia", but it shocked "ibm".

auzw.comibm, short for International Business Machines Corporation, or International Business Machines Corporation. Headquartered in Armonk, New York, founded in the United States in 1911, it is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company. It currently has more than 300,000 employees worldwide and has operations in more than 160 countries and regions.

The concept of ordinary people, "ibm" is the production of computers. It is a long-term leader in the computer industry and a super software company. Its five major software brands, including lotus, websphere, iod, rational, and timunications-of-acm, have published that A well-known large-scale shared database data relational model paper, and therefore has today's "Oracle". Therefore, "ibm" has always regarded "Oracle" as a leaked company and Ellison as a branch of "ibm", of course, it is a branch that has nothing to do with it.

But no matter who it is, it must be admitted that without the paper by Edgar Court of the "ibm" research institute, there would never be the current "Oracle" and Ellison.

"Mr. Watson III, how do you see this incident of Oracle's acquisition of Sun and Nvidia? What strategy do you think our company should adopt?" The current president of "ibm" Peng Mingsheng sat down in front of him for consultation. Middle-aged man-Watson III.

"Ibm" was created by the Watson family. Its first president was Thomas John Watson, and the second president was Thomas John Watson Jr. Under the leadership of Watson Jr., "ibm "From an obscure company to an international business giant. In the year before last, Watson Jr. passed away due to illness, and Peng Mingsheng assumed the position of CEO of "ibm".

As for this Watson III, he is the only son of Watson Jr. It’s just that although "ibm" was created by the Watson family, most of the Watson III generations had no intention of commercial development. Therefore, the young Watson left the "Watson Fund" to his descendants every year. The money earned by "ibm" will be allocated to the "Watson Fund" based on the shares and enjoyed by his children. It can be said that since Watson was a child, members of the Watson family only owned equity in "ibm", but did not hold votes. right.

However, after all, Watson III is the son of Watson Jr. and the largest shareholder of "ibm". Therefore, in order to cherish the memory of Watson Jr.'s contribution to "ibm", "ibm" invited Watson III back as an honorary chairman. . General matters are handled by the "ibm" board of directors. Only when there are major events, the descendants of the "ibm" creator, who is also the largest shareholder, will be consulted.

Watson III rubbed his temples with his hands. He really has no interest in business, but this company is the ancestral business of their Watson family, and they kindly asked them to return to their ancestral business as an honorary director. Watson III is really hard to refuse.

"Peng Mingsheng, you should know that I don't understand business, so you can decide." Watson III shirks all responsibilities rather irresponsibly.

Peng Mingsheng shook his head again and again. Although little Watson was originally because his children and grandchildren were unwilling to do business, he set up the "Watson Fund" to allow his descendants to enjoy the fruits of his father's labor and to keep the company as much as possible. However, if Watson III is completely indifferent, I am afraid that it will not be long before "ibm" will be grateful for the "Watson family" complex. Home, if you can't make things right, "ibm" will no longer be called "Watson". After all, if you really run into an ambitious and capable person, you can use the means to get the "ibm" stock in the hands of the Watson family out.

After all, Watson III and his sisters are so ignorant of business. And Samson, it can be said that Watson’s great favor was greatly appreciated by him, so he wanted to help Little Watson to keep the "ibm" as much as possible, so that it can always be the Watson family's industry, and now It seems that he can only do his best.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Peng Mingsheng said.

Watson III breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Palmi Seng let him go.
