Chapter 1772: Digging People, Digging People Anyway!
“Buzz-- buzz--”
In the luxury bedroom of Midwestern Heiden, it is surrounded by pitch black, only the corner floor lights emit dim lights, barely looking at the situation in front of you.
The messy clothes scattered quietly around the carpet, the truffle in the air had become faint and faint. On the mahogany Kingsize, which engraved the mountain water backwards, Andy, who was already asleep, frowned slightly on his sculpturely handsome face and opened his sleeping eyes in the constant buzzing of his phone on the windowsill.
Andy tried to stretch his left arm to grab the phone, the distance was a little distant, but only slightly depressed to curl the little assistant in his arms like an octopus gently moved away, put the head of the sleeping assistant on the pillow, the blonde hair spreading messily, looking close to the white face of Red Xia, already slightly eyebrowed, Andy couldn't help but lift his mouth and shook his head slightly.
Watching the corners of her sleep go up, her face satisfied the look of a little assistant, Andy flashed a sentence in his head, a good assistant would say good morning, boss!
And a very good assistant is the boss. Morning!
Lifting the quilt off the floor and picking up a nightgown and putting it on, he picked up his phone, which was no longer buzzing, and walked outside the bedroom, looking at the missed call.
“Edward Leaf. ”
Andy was stunned, but immediately started calling back. You know, Leaf wouldn't normally call him on his private phone, and this is still the point to call him today, but it's important to know.
“Sorry to bother you, boss. ”
As soon as the phone was turned on, Ye's apologies came from the phone, and Andy said with a smile: "Oh, I won't be depressed to wake me up on the phone for you. What worries me is that you're in such a hurry to contact me, don't scare me. ”
“Oh, don't worry, the company is normal together, I'm so anxious to call you because of Oracle's acquisition of SUN. “
When Andy heard this, he frowned slightly and said with some confusion: “Didn't we talk before? Didn't you say that Oracle, even after integrating SUN, is not enough to shake the business market pattern of stable servers, storage and software services... ”
Just recently, Oracle, the world's largest enterprise software company, announced that it had eaten Sun, the server factory, for $7.4 billion, attracting global attention.
Previously, IBM and HP were the only businesses in the IT community that were enterprise-level users capable of providing servers, storage, and software services. Oracle, however, has gradually transformed over the past five years through the acquisition of companies such as PeopleCo, which eventually ranked among the entire business after the acquisition of SUN. Many believe that the IT industry has shifted from a quarrelling situation to a three-pronged one.
Yet the old leaf snorted at it, and the original words of the old leaf were, "... It is not a triple-legged situation. In terms of last year's turnover, IBM was $103.6 billion, HP was $118.3 billion, and Oracle combined with SUN was only $36.2 billion, about a third of the top two companies.
In terms of profit, IBM is $12.3 billion, HP is $8.3 billion, Oracle plus SUN is less than $6 billion, and as you can see, less than half of IBM's profit. On the product line, although there are servers, two of which have databases, two have middleware, and all have management software and information services, this does not create a three-pronged situation. ”
In fact, many media outlets also believe that Oracle has acquired a hot potato, and until then, the transition to so-called "Software as a Service” or cloud computing has disrupted Sun core server business, and integrating Sun server business will significantly increase Oracle's risk.
Of course, some believe that Oracle's acquisition of SUN was followed by the birth of a corporate version of Apple. SUN has always been very independent on hardware, and has always used its own hardware platform, its own operating system, also focused on high-end user image, consistent with Apple's dozen + years of traffic, and Sun also masters the strategic Java program language and Solaris operating system, so that Oracle will become the leading representative company in the development of Java standards.
“My opinion remains the same, but I'm afraid many people are wrong about the purpose of Oracle's acquisition of SUN... I think the real purpose of Oracle is to compete for software developers! ”
Andy couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows and sit on the couch in the outer living room, reaching out and ringing the service bell and waiting for Leaf below.
“In the long run, Oracle will have little interest in hardware and systems businesses, and in the future it will strip them away by finding buyers for those businesses.
You know, the Oracle software business has a gross profit margin of over 90% and is therefore not interested in the hardware and systems market.
I think it's only one thing to acquire Sun, which is to be the center of the software development community... By acquiring Sun, Oracle will be able to control the Java programming language and some important development tools based on it. Resources are also available for thousands of relevant programmers. This allows Oracle to have enormous influence that it has never had before, and thus compete more strategically with real competitors like IBM and Microsoft. ”
Andy couldn't help but look a little hard to hear here. First he said ‘coffee’ to the maid who walked in, then watched the maid leave before saying to the phone: “For the industry rumor that Oracle might give up the open source database MySQL, completely negligible, we don't have a chance to pick up cheap? ”
“I'm afraid so, despite Oracle's many database assets, no one is more attractive to today's web-based world than MySQL. People in Oracle will definitely find the most successful Linux free database software company MySQL, and will keep it growing rapidly. ”
“This is such a headache!” Andy was also analyzed by Leaf, giving him a headache. To be honest, after learning that Oracle had acquired SUN, he also felt that the only possibility of being split or abandoned by Oracle was that Sun had originally acquired MySQL, a company that was used to expand the community of users and developers, and then created MySQL, a company that attracted fee-paying users for commercial services, because the business was too repetitive for Oracle. Andy and Leaf hit a tray like that. When Oracle was sold, he ate MySQL, a company that knew its value, to improve and enhance their self-research generic database of Musica Cloud computing.
You know, back then, Yahoo companies in the United States started using MySQL databases, and at one time thousands of servers around the world were using MySQL databases.
At the time, Yahoo's halo was much higher than today's Google, Facebook, so to speak, the architecture of all Internet companies in Tianjing today can be found in Yahoo, and with Yahoo's demonstration effect, Tianjing's Internet companies started their own MySQL path.
MySQL's position on the Internet is irreplaceable. Especially in Heaven Dynasty, all Internet companies learn more or less. After worshipping these open-source databases, they develop their own research and leaf opening.
“In this way, not only do we fail to achieve our goals, but the database industry is worried that MySQL will gradually become a kind of commercially available software, and MySQL's license agreement will become more demanding than it is now!” Andy said a little uncomfortable.
“Almost so, of course, for our Musica Cloud database, it is not very relevant, maybe it is a good thing, after all, we are the brighter future, after the database cloud, a lot of play has just begun, we will provide a more imaginative future. ”
“In that case, Ye, then you call...” Andy is also very confident in this, but he may end up soaking soup on a cheap project that he had planned, and he's still not feeling very comfortable. Now that he's listening to Ye, he's a little speechless and directly asks him why he called.
“Dig! Make every effort to dig people out of SUN! As long as you're a programmer, you can dig it up with a lot of money, how much you want, you better dig it all up, not give it to that old bastard Ellison, leave a talent behind!” Leaf spoke very seriously.
