Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 250 Mediation for nearly two years, once the situation opened

To say what is the most valuable thing in the 21st century, many people may talk about high technology, while Luo Sheng will talk about big data.

Data is the most commercially valuable thing in this century.

MySQL is very useful for Luo Sheng. First of all, it can make Oracle uncomfortable, due to the high cost of Oracle database and the suppression of piracy by the laws of mainland China.

That's right, it is to suppress piracy. This is not to condone, but to suppress.

Regardless of whether Microsoft is indifferent to the use of pirated Windows systems by individual users, but if any company dares to use pirated versions, Microsoft will write to you every minute, and that company will have to pay.

The income of enterprise-level users is much higher than that of individuals, and Microsoft is actually still making a lot of money in China.

Regardless of the high cost of suppressing personal piracy, it is not thankful. If the fee is charged, it will create competitors out of thin air. Microsoft is not so stupid. User habits are very scary. Now individual users even buy Apple computers but are used to them. It will also earn windows, which gives Microsoft's operating system unparalleled dominance, and no one can shake it.

Even Luo Sheng can't do it, because users are used to making Windows systems invincible. To break Microsoft's dominance in the PC era, only the mobile Internet and smartphones are the only way to reduce dimensionality, which has caused the PC market to shrink and indirectly affect Microsoft's operating system Kill.

No one uses computers anymore, or there are fewer and fewer people using them. The PC has become a sunset industry. Of course, Microsoft's dominance has disappeared. This is basically wiped out.

Luo Sheng insists on using the strategy of "dimensionality reduction strikes". Through mobile Internet, smart phones and smart wearable devices in the future 5G era, only "dimensionality reduction strikes" can kill windows.

The high cost of Oracle’s database and legal suppression of piracy have led to more and more small and medium-sized enterprises using open source and free MySQL. Even though MySQL will rely on value-added services to charge certain technical support fees, for most It is cost-effective for enterprises, and MySQL is sufficient to support their applications.

If there is no MySQL, Bluestar Technology may not be born so smoothly, and the initial data operation cost may double and soar.

It is definitely uncomfortable for Oracle to lose MySQL, because the small and medium-sized enterprise market is extremely large, this market is firmly occupied by MySQL, and this market has been the target of Oracle for a long time.

From a commercial point of view, Luo Sheng's thinking is similar to that of Alibaba to support small and medium-sized enterprises.

From a technical point of view, MySQL and Bluestar Technology Group's big data have the technical commonality of the BDB kernel. Bluestar Technology can currently use MySQL as a market booster instead of a competitor.

The maintainability of MySQL is still maintained strategically, and it can even be provided to small and medium-sized enterprises for free. The development interface can be smoothly transferred to Bluestar Technology, the market is retained with completely free MySQL, and the follow-up services of Bluestar Technology Group are gradually realized.

Another hidden benefit is that Luo Sheng provides another database platform for deep learning for his artificial intelligence Nov.

...

On Friday morning, on the streets of Yangcheng Lake, pedestrians including some college students from nearby schools stopped to watch a morning run team and talked a lot. Some college girls even watched the team idiotly. Of a young man.

Among the morning jogs, the leader is surprisingly Luo Sheng, and the others are personal bodyguards in casual clothes, following him on the morning jog.

Luo Sheng spends about an hour a day doing exercises in various ways, sometimes in the gym, but it's not the company's or his private purchase, but the company's lease package.

At present, the "Mobius Ring" headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group and the "Galaxy City" headquarters of the Blue Coast Company are under construction. In addition, Luo Sheng's enterprise-level private super luxury mansion covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters is under construction. The "complex building" is also under construction.

Although the start was the latest, his private house was built the fastest, and it is expected to be put into use at the end of the first half of this year.

Both his private residence and the new headquarters of the two companies are located on the banks of Yangcheng Lake, and they deserve to be Sioux City's latest and most technologically-sense and iconic landmark building.

It is no exaggeration to say that the leaders of Sioux City have regarded Luo Sheng as the rhythm of the "God of Wealth". Just kidding, Luo Sheng's companies have almost supported more than one-third of the entire fiscal taxation of Sioux City, and the proportion has increased. The speed is faster than the overall fiscal tax revenue of Sioux City. If this trend continues, the entire Sioux City can rely on Luo Sheng’s corporate tax to support all public expenditures, and even have a balance.

Luo Sheng actually doesn't like to exercise indoors. He still likes the feeling of spaciousness. But now, as a celebrity, he feels like a giant panda in a zoo when he is crowded and watched by melon-eating people.

To be famous and extremely famous, you must sacrifice some freedom and things that must be changed. For example, when you go out for a morning jog, Luo Sheng cannot fix the time, place and other factors, because if it is too fixed, people will be easily Understand and control the rules of daily life.

Although this is domestic, the accompanying personal bodyguards often do not have to deal with sudden dangerous situations, more to open the way, but it is also essential. Safety is very important. Luo Sheng's identity as a scientist in the previous life, travel There are bodyguards with light and shade.

Otherwise, with his current popularity and influence, he throws out a morning jog without any disguise, and is surrounded by fans or media reporters every minute, and even has a certain probability of being kidnapped.

Too famous and annoying...

However, Luo Sheng has not felt uncomfortable in this situation since he became famous in this world, because he was used to it in his last life, and he was a key protected object when he traveled, but he was a scientist in the last life. The identity is famous, at least so far in this life, he is famous as an entrepreneur.

"Mr. Luo, call you!"

At this moment, a bodyguard who was accompanying him took the phone and speeded up his pace to catch up with Luo Sheng. After he stopped, the others also stopped and waited aside.

Luo Sheng took the call. It was an Azure mobile phone. He swiped the answer button with his thumb and put it to his ear.

"Mr. Luo, two pieces of good news have been negotiated by IBM. The North American data center has been successfully implemented. At the same time, they are willing to help our group company acquire MySQL, and contain Oracle and Google, and prevent Sun from acquiring MySQL."

Zhang Bowen was talking to him on the other end of the phone.

Luo Sheng sat down in a marble seat on the side of the road and said: "Yes, but IBM's support for MySQL is just the icing on the cake. It is far from talking about giving charcoal in the snow. On the contrary, they have to take precautions. Trust, the main reason to win MySQL is to rely on yourself. In the current environment, the Eurozone may be worse than North America. If necessary, money can be used to open the way.

Speaking of this, Luo Shengyi would like to add an explanation: "What I said is not bribing the Swedes with money, but using large-scale funds to invest in Europe in exchange for this matter. Yao Jianhong on the blue coast will handle this matter. You are in charge. The relevant departments of Bluestar Technology can assist from it."

Zhang Bowen: "Understand!"

In the acquisition of MySQL, Luo Sheng does not intend to let Bluestar Technology Group take the initiative, but the brother company Côte d'Azur to execute.

Today is the fourth day of negotiations with the person in charge of IBM. The focus of the negotiation is really not MySQL. This Luo Sheng did not want to rely on IBM to play a key role in it. I really think that it is a fool. It is impossible for the Bluestar Technology Group to achieve such a large scale and still firmly control it in their own hands.

The focus of the negotiations with the people of IBM was still the cloud computing service for the data center landing in North America. In fact, it played a big role.

This matter has been mediating since 2006, and it took nearly a year to two years. The dust finally settled in 2008.

The expansion of overseas markets is really not easy, because Luo Sheng's surname is "Hua" instead of "Ou" or "Mei".

Had it not been for a series of chemical reactions that had been brought together by various factors, the North American market might not have been able to enter the North American market even after two years of fierce battle, and Luo Sheng knew that the more difficult it would be as time passed.

So far, the 9 large-scale data centers built by Bluestar Technology Group in overseas regions have all been implemented, including five in North America, located in 1 in Northern Virginia, 1 in Seattle, 2 in the California Bay Area, and 1 in Oregon.

Didn't Lao Mei always talk about data security?

It’s not enough to build the data in your home now.

Of course, Luo Sheng doesn't expect the U.S. Emperor to end the troubles of the Bluestar Technology Group, but everything is difficult at the beginning. Getting the access permit is an unprecedented victory, which means that the future expansion of the data center will not be as troublesome as it is today.

As the saying goes, it’s easier to ask God to send God away. Lao Mei now puts Luo Sheng into their home. It will be difficult to drive him out in the future. He doesn’t have the skill of dismembering French Alstom. meaningful.

Unless it is a robber who uses force to plunder, but this is impossible, unless the Americans are crazy, and what destroys a country's credit system in this way is that Alstom was also killed by the Americans after leaving a pigtail.

What's more, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, it doesn’t take 30 years. The next ten years will be the decade of decline in American national strength, while China’s national strength will be a decade of rapid rise, and it will be an unprecedented change in the world in a century. ten years.

One trades down, and even if the Americans want to be hooligans, they have to weigh it.

To put it simply and crudely, the labor-management wings are really hard!
