Chapter 1153 headache for Intel
Chapter 1,153 Intel has a headache
At the "IBM" corporate headquarters, many directors frowned and looked thoughtful. This situation is extremely rare. You must know that since "IBM" became the world's largest business giant, this phenomenon has rarely appeared on the faces of many directors.
No matter if there is a world war or an economic crisis, "ibm" will always stand firm and is absolutely powerful. Therefore, in the face of any situation, "ibm" can remain calm. It is no exaggeration to say that
, "ibm" people are born with a feeling of looking down on all living beings.
This is a sense of superiority generated by "IBM" having been at the forefront of contemporary technology and leading the development of computers for decades. It is also a cultural accumulation and historical vicissitudes. This is not a mentality that can be acquired in a short time.
Therefore, "IBM" people have always been able to deal with any changes calmly. But this incident, after "Oracle" acquired "Sun" and "NVIDIA" companies in a short period of time, finally "IBM" was moved.
Although "Oracle" acquired "Sun" and "Nvidia", it still cannot be compared with "IBM". Although the gap between the two is still huge, it is definitely not as vast as before. And with Ellison
With his unique personality, Palmisano knew that Ellison would definitely challenge "IBM" in the future.
Although Ellison often uttered wild words on various occasions, looking at the number one goal in life is to surpass "Microsoft", people who really know Ellison know that "Microsoft" is only Ellison's first goal.
There is actually another goal in Sen's heart, and that is - IBM.
Although the industry has always marveled at the magic of "Oracle" and its ability to become No. 1 in the field of commercial databases in a short period of time, many people think that this is because Ellison was lucky and saw "IBM" researcher Ed
Garcourt's paper led to today's "Oracle". Within "IBM", this view is also quite common. Many "IBM" people even believe that this is because "IBM" did not want to develop in the commercial field at that time.
Only then did he specialize in the professional field, leaving the business field to others, denying that there would never be an "Oracle".
For Ellison, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, this view is undoubtedly very resentful to him. However, although Ellison is crazy, he still remains rational and calm. He can still "Microsoft"
It’s a provocation, but facing “ibm”, he is almost weak and can’t even fight back. Therefore, although Ellison desperately wants to defeat “ibm” and prove that even though he relied on “ibm”’s paper hairpin,
But through hard work, I have the strength to defeat "ibm", but "ibm" is too powerful, so powerful that even Ellison, a lunatic, dare not go crazy.
However, this time after "Oracle" acquired "Sun" and "Nvidia", it finally made itself one of the super giants in the industry, and it could be considered that it barely had the strength to challenge "IBM". It was no longer just a mouthful like before.
That poor person didn't take him seriously at all.
It is precisely because they realize that Ellison already has the qualifications to attack "ibm" that many "ibm" directors have such serious faces. Although, at present, they are not afraid of Ellison. After all, both sides
The gap between strength and foundation is too big and cannot be settled in the short term. But what about the future? What will this lunatic do after the integration of Oracle?
When everyone thinks about it, they feel a headache. This Ellison's personality is really a bit unreasonable, but his company has to deal with such a person. They say that the king of hell is easy to mess with, and the kid is difficult to deal with. This Ellison is probably the most difficult person in the world.
One of the people.
Seeing that everyone was discussing and discussing, but there was no conclusion, but the topic was getting further and further, and even seemed to be like a shrew scolding, he shook his head and coughed to stop everyone's scolding behavior. At this time, Watson on the side
Seeing this, Watson III shook his head, with a look of disgust on his face. Obviously, Watson III was even more disdainful of the ugly faces of these people in the business world.
Peng Mingsheng saw the expression of Watson III and sighed in his heart. I am afraid that in the next ten years, "ibm" may no longer have the surname Watson. If this is true, it is really a sad thing. I'm afraid this
It will also become a rare case in American family history where a family business is controlled by others.
"Okay, everyone. In fact, we don't have to worry too much about Oracle. In terms of background, it is no exaggeration to say that 'IBM' is the number one in the computer industry. The cutting-edge technologies we have mastered in various fields are far from...
Oracle's acquisitions of Sun and NVIDIA can't compete, not to mention that theirs is just commercial technology, while ours is absolutely cutting-edge technology, military technology!" Peng Mingsheng's eyebrows were filled with pride.
Indeed, no matter how arrogant "Oracle" is, its technology is limited to commercial use. As we all know, commercial technology is second-rate, and the real first-class technology lies in the military. And "ibm" serves the military. Of course, it also makes money in the business world.
Some money. Therefore, despite the fact that the current stock market value of "ibm" is only more than 170 billion US dollars, which is far lower than the more than 220 billion US dollars of "Microsoft", in fact, that is because many of the strengths of "ibm" are hidden, and its financial
Most of the time, the statements only declare profits from the business world, but the military never declares them. Of course, there is no need to declare them.
This time, Peng Mingsheng convened the board of directors with great fanfare to let everyone discuss Ellison's matter, not because he was worried about Ellison provoking "IBM" in the future, but because he wanted to give this "Big Blue" a bit rigid thinking due to its monopoly operation.
"Sprinkle a little vitality and hope they won't make mistakes again and become as stupid as before.
Ellison's "Oracle" may be able to spur everyone to wake up and be more vigilant. The world is changing with each passing day. Although "IBM" now dominates one side, if it continues to be as muddled as before, it will definitely happen.
Making unforgivable mistakes. For example, "ibm" misestimated the use of computers in the business field and categorically abandoned the market, resulting in hundreds of billions of dollars in losses. This kind of mistake, "ibm"
"We can't do it again.
Unfortunately, it seems to Peng Mingsheng that no one is alert at all. Thinking of this, Peng Mingsheng can only sigh. An overly stable life may have made the "ibm" people's thinking rigid and too optimistic. They believe that the world will always be the same.
My own world.
While Palmisano was having a headache that IBM's directors were too rigid, he had an even bigger headache.
Originally, the protagonist of this acquisition was "Oracle", and although Ellison was crazy, he was not going to fire shots randomly and make enemies everywhere. But now it is by no means good news for a certain company. This company
Not another company, but Intel.
For Intel, when it heard that "Oracle" acquired "Sun", it was indifferent. For "Intel", it had nothing to do with it. But then, when "Oracle" acquired "Nvidia", the entire "Intel"
"Intel" was shocked across the board. For "Intel", this news is too shocking. Of course, what makes "Intel" so shocked is not that "Oracle" acquired "Nvidia", but because "Oracle"
Jointly acquired "Nvidia" with "Phantom Technology", and both parties hold 50% of the shares.
Is "Phantom Technology", a company that specializes in electronic products and has been established for only 3 years, worthy of the attention of "Intel"? - The answer is of course worth it! Because the boss of this company is none other than the richest man in the world - Lin
wind.
Of course, if this is just the case, "Intel" is not afraid. You know, a super company like "Intel" and an absolute oligarch in the commercial chip industry will not care too much about Lin Feng, the world's richest man. After all, "Intel"
The company's market value is as high as 192 billion U.S. dollars, and its cash reserves are as high as 20 billion U.S. dollars. It can be said that for such a company, a richest man like Lin Feng only respects it, but does not fear it.
But after all, Lin Feng is not an ordinary rich man. Lin Feng himself owns "Second World", and the "amd" hardware development department under "Second World" is the mortal enemy of "Intel". Of course, for "amd",
"Intel" has not been taken seriously yet. After all, no matter in terms of technology or financial resources, "amd" and "Intel" cannot be compared. Even if "Second World" and "ati" are added, they cannot be compared with "Intel".
Comparable.
But now that Lin Feng's "Phantom Technology" acquired 50% of the shares of "NVIDIA", everything is different, really different. Although the strength of "NVIDIA" is not worth mentioning in the eyes of "Intel", but
The influence it brings is enough to make "Intel" shocked, vigilant, and even worried.
Because, in the personal computer industry today, there are only two manufacturers of graphics cards, one is "ati" from the "second world", and the other is "Nvidia". Today, "ati" is in the hands of the "second world", and "ati" is in the hands of the "second world"
Half of the shares of "NVIDIA" are in the hands of "Phantom Technology". Both companies are owned by Lin Feng, which means that Lin Feng now controls the graphics card market alone. Although the other half of the shares of "NVIDIA" are in the hands of "Oracle", but in the past
Regarding the relationship between Ellison and Lin Feng, I’m afraid it’s not an exaggeration for NVIDIA to say that Lin Feng makes the decision.
