Chapter 1,150 The power to change it

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

Although "Oracle" has always been extremely public and provocative, "Oracle" is also a software company. Although it is the second largest software IT company in the world, second only to "Microsoft", it is not like "Microsoft" after all.

In that way, it controls the big killer "operating system" and occupies more than 95% of the industry's market share. Therefore, although "Oracle" is very good, it is nothing more than the opponents provoked by Ellison.

, a relatively powerful and annoying opponent, but not an opponent worthy of serious battle, like a life-or-death enemy.

But now, after "Oracle" acquired "sun", it is completely different. The meaning has completely changed, which is an essential change. Although "sun" is only a software company, for "Oracle", it is

It is a qualitative leap. You must know that "sun" is undoubtedly the most famous for creating the "java" language, which is the most popularized language on the Internet. It can be said to be the first language of the Internet. Now plus "java"

"Oracle"'s super database uses super network language + super database, and is assisted by "cloud computing". This super integrated software, "Oracle" can be said to have truly reached the level of "Microsoft".

Although the two companies are currently in different fields and only compete in the field of server software, with the acquisition of "Sun" by "Oracle", it has "java", coupled with the advent of the network era, coupled with Ellison

This madman has always regarded defeating "Microsoft" as his number one goal. The two super software companies may definitely fight each other in the future. In the past, although Ellison provoked "Microsoft", it was more in words than in practice.

action, but in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it anymore.

“This madman actually acquired ‘Sun’ without saying a word!” - Steve Ballmer, the president of Microsoft, looked indignant when he received the news.

During this period, "Microsoft" has been struggling with the issue of acquiring "Yahoo". After all, this is an opportunity. You must know that "Baidu Portal" is fighting with "Google", and the two companies themselves do not have the energy to temporarily take care of it.

Regarding the acquisition of "Yahoo" by "Microsoft", coupled with the fierce struggle between the two companies, no matter who wins the final victory, there will definitely be a market vacuum. At this time, "Microsoft" just takes advantage of the void and steps in during the acquisition.

After "Yahoo", you can get the maximum benefit!

No, for the sake of so-called dignity and pride, Jerry Yang actually rejected Microsoft's US$47 billion acquisition plan. This made Microsoft a little annoyed, but the acquisition of Yahoo was inevitable.

It is very important to Microsoft's plan for the next 10 years. Therefore, in recent times, all the attention of "Microsoft" has been on the acquisition of "Yahoo", and therefore it has not noticed the small moves of "Oracle", otherwise it will definitely pay attention.

By the time there are clues about Oracle's acquisition of "Sun", Microsoft can make some small moves at will. Even if it cannot completely destroy "Oracle" and acquire "Sun", it can still create a little more trouble for it in the middle.

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

- Gates said relaxedly.

Steve Ballmer was slightly shocked when he heard this. Yes, no matter what company Ellison acquired, "Microsoft" is "Microsoft" and is the best software company on the planet. Thinking of this, Steve

Mr. Ballmer's heart felt calm, and he seemed to have a new understanding of Bill Gates.

Although Bill Gates has created the myth of "Microsoft", is the founder of the American dream, and is the idol of countless people, Steve Ballmer has always believed that Bill Gates is not a qualified leader.

He is more suitable to be a technician, which is his current title-chief architecture engineer. But at this moment, hearing Bill Gates say these words, Steve Ballmer just realized that although Bill Gates

He is not a qualified leader, but he is definitely a qualified boss.

He has outstanding vision and majestic atmosphere, which is the key reason why "Microsoft" can continue to prosper!

Compared with the calmness of "Microsoft", many competitors of "Oracle" on the market feel a sense of panic. "Oracle", which acquired "Sun", is no longer something that ordinary companies can deal with. I am afraid that only "Microsoft"

That’s why he is so grand and ignores the “rise” of “Oracle” again.

Of course, "Oracle's" acquisition of "Sun" is not enough to make the outside world really excited. What really makes the outside world excited is another news that follows immediately.

After "Oracle" acquired "Sun" again, before the outside world could fully digest the news, it made another big move and acquired "Nvidia" for almost the same price of US$7.2 billion. Of course, after acquiring "Sun"

, "Oracle" did not have enough funds to acquire "Nvidia" again. This time, "Oracle" and "Phantom Technology" jointly acquired "Nvidia", with the two companies each holding 50% of the shares.

Boom! Regarding this news, the entire IT world was like a volcanic eruption, and the earth was shattered. All companies were shocked, boiling, and dumbfounded. Even "Microsoft", which had been extremely calm before, and "IBM", which had always been secretive, faced

I was so shocked and speechless by this news.

"NVIDIA", the English name "nvidia", is a semiconductor company that mainly designs display chips and motherboard chipsets. It is the undisputed king of display chips in the personal computer industry and is also an extremely core company in the personal computer industry.

Although Yidong does not have as big an impact as "Intel" on the personal computer industry, it must not be underestimated. Now, such a company has been acquired!

In fact, this is not because NVIDIA has no backbone, but because its opponents are too tough. In the past two years, although NVIDIA has occupied an overwhelming advantage in the stand-alone graphics card market, what is extremely depressing is that although it dominates the market, its profits are

But it does not have an advantage, and even suffers a slight loss. The reason for this is the "ati" hardware development department of "Second World", which is the original "ati" company. Since "ati" company joined "Second World"

"After having sufficient funds for research and development, its product development is faster than the previous generation. This year, the price of "ati"'s flagship product radeon9800-pro was actually reduced to 1,499 yuan. Last year, the price was still as high as 3,000 yuan.

The price has been reduced by half. It has become a high-end product with a low-end price.

Its corresponding "NVIDIA" product is currently priced as high as 1,999 yuan, a difference of 500 yuan, but the performance is almost the same. And this huge price contrast phenomenon does not only appear in the high-end graphics card market. Whether it is

High-end, mid-range, and low-end products, although the current "NVIDIA" graphics card, also known as the legendary "n card", is slightly ahead of the "ati" graphics cards of all levels in terms of performance, there is a gap between the two in terms of price.

Therefore, for consumers, they can adopt the "Tian Ji horse racing" method to choose the "ati graphics card" that suits them, which is the legendary "A card". This has caused great pressure on "Nvidia". However, for

This "NVIDIA" is also quite helpless. There is no way, "ati" is backed by the "Second World", and its boss is the world's richest man, Lin Feng, but Lin Feng is still willing to lose money, so what can "NVIDIA" do?

Sample!

Who allowed "ati" to be merged into the "second world", and met Lin Feng, a lunatic, who actually allowed "ati" not to make a penny, just to seize the market. Therefore, when "Nvidia" encountered this kind of person who would rather not make profits,

, as long as the market is facing crazy opponents, it can only be defeated. Although it also chose to cut prices, there is no doubt that "ati" can afford to lose money. With the "second world" earning power, "ati" can always

If they continue to lose money, NVIDIA is different. They don't have a financial backer like the Second World to back them up, so they can let their hearts go and make them lose money.

Therefore, when "Oracle" proposed the acquisition, "Nvidia" agreed to the "Oracle" acquisition after some careful consideration. After all, US$7.2 billion is a lot, which is 130% more than the current stock market value of "Nvidia"

%, everyone at "NVIDIA" is quite satisfied. Of course, when they learned that "Oracle"'s partner in acquiring "NVIDIA" was "Phantom Technology", everyone was quite shocked.

You know, "Phantom Technology" is owned by Lin Feng. Now the two companies each own 50% of the shares of "NVIDIA". Given the relationship between the bosses 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". His energy is enough to change the development of the computer game industry. He definitely has the qualifications! In the end, he is the same as "ati" for his company.

Falling into Lin Feng's control, "Nvidia" sighed helplessly.

Although I feel a little unwilling to accept it, who knows that someone is rich and powerful? There is nothing I can do!
