How will Google deal with Ellison's strong attack?
Although the main customers of Oracle are enterprise users, the number of these enterprise users is undoubtedly relatively small compared with the large number of individual users in the world, the customers of Oracle are all customers with absolute consumption power. The income of these enterprise employees usually belongs to the middle class, and they are the consumption objects that major manufacturers need to strive for. If they all use "tmail", and then become "Baidu portal" users, it is indeed a trouble.
Of course, "Google" is not too worried about this. Although these people are middle-class people, their families may not be, and they may not use the same search engine to access the Internet. As long as we grasp the online habits of these people's families, we won't have to worry about the threat of Oracle's bundled "tmail" to Google's "Gmail".
Therefore, "Google" did not contact Oracle's competitors at the first time to work with them to bundle "Gmail" and consolidate "Gmail" market“ "Google" thinks that they have the ability to resist the joint efforts of "Baidu portal" and "oracle", and "Google" has such strength.
This can be said to be the pride of "Google", also can be said to be the confidence of "Google"!
But it's not as simple as Google thinks! They underestimated the madness and strength of Ellison. What's more, Ellison was trying to attract the attention of all walks of life and divert people's attention, so he naturally worked very hard on this matter!
In Google's indifference, Ellison once again shot.
As the second largest software company in the world after Microsoft, the strength of Oracle can not be ignored. Ellison announced that it will directly bundle "tmail" with its database software in the future. Meanwhile, Ellison also announced that it will fully embed the search engine of "Baidu portal" in all its software updates in the future. All users can directly use the search engine of "Baidu portal" in their software to find the information they need on the Internet, Instead of opening the browser.
Terror! When Ellison announced his decision, the whole industry was like a nine magnitude earthquake. Ellison's declaration will represent that Oracle will fully support Baidu portal and stand on the same front with Baidu portal. You know, once the search engine of "Baidu portal" and "tmail" are completely bundled, it's quite risky. If the search engine of "Baidu portal" fails and "tmail" goes wrong, it will be a fatal blow to Oracle, and its reputation will be seriously damaged.
With Ellison's always outspoken and arrogant manner, he has offended many companies and enemies. If you count them casually, "Microsoft", "HP", "IBM", "apple", "spa"... And so on, all of them are members of the global top 500 enterprises, and Ellison has offended almost all of them. In the past, his arrogance was based on the strong strength and market share of Oracle. But if something goes wrong this time, it will give his opponent a huge flaw to attack him.
It's risky! It's crazy—— Outsiders really don't understand why Oracle would agree with Ellison's crazy move and leave the lifeblood of the whole company to the crazy Ellison, so that he can make such a risky decision.
A madman is a madman—— Jobs sighed. If it were him, he would never be able to gamble on the whole company.
What a hypocrite—— Paul Allen was helpless. At this moment, he realized that Ellison really regarded Lin Feng as a brother. For Lin Feng's sake, he dared to take the world's great criticism and fight against "Google". Although the two are deadly enemies, Paul Allen has to give a thumbs up for Ellison's loyalty at the moment.
"Ha ha, Lin, how about it? I'm good enough for you!" Ellison said with a cigar in his mouth to Lin Feng, who was sitting opposite him.
Lin Feng smiles.
"If you really bundle all the search engines of Baidu portal in the next version, that's really enough for you!" Lin Feng sipped the champagne and said.
Although Ellison announced the future in public, in fact, Lin Feng was sure that these words were all uttered casually by Ellison, just fooling people. Not really! Because the risk is too big, too big! Ellison just looks crazy, but he's actually cool.
Calm crazy—— This is the only word Lin Feng can think of to describe Ellison.
Ellison shrugged helplessly.
"Lin, it's not my fault. If the" hyperlink analysis "technology of Baidu portal can be better, I will definitely support it." Ellison said sorry. He can't really take the future of Oracle to fight against Google, which is too risky. Moreover, even so, it is not possible to fight against "Google" and seize its market in a short time. If you want to surpass "Google" in two years, the only way for "Baidu portal" is to annex "Yahoo", and then integrate "Yahoo" resources to fight against "Google".
And Ellison before this round of high-profile declaration, is to help Lin Feng buy "Yahoo". Of course, what is more important is to help Oracle acquire sun and NVIDIA, so that it can become a server software and hardware manufacturer with the strength to challenge IBM and HP.
Ellison's biggest wish is to make Oracle the best software company in the world, but Microsoft is so powerful that he naturally finds another way.
"Ellison, I think the outside world must have been misled by your remarks now. You should be able to take action." Lin Feng looked at Ellison and said.
Lin Feng has got a message that "Microsoft" is contacting "Yahoo"“ In history, Microsoft's US $44.6 billion acquisition was rejected by Yang Zhiyuan, President of Yahoo. But at that time, the share price of "Yahoo" was high, and now the share price of "Yahoo" is low. The purchase price proposed by "Microsoft" should be about $37 billion. According to inference, "Yahoo" Yang Zhiyuan should refuse.
But now, due to its emergence, "Baidu portal" declared war on "Google", which triggered a war in the search engine market, "Yahoo" was the first to suffer. In such a case, it is hard to say whether Yang Zhiyuan would choose to refuse or surrender.
Therefore, Lin Feng also hopes that Ellison will act quickly and pull the hind legs of "Microsoft" to make it unable to focus on the acquisition of "Yahoo".
"Don't worry, Lin. it's about the future of our company. I won't slack off. Don't worry, this time I will surprise Microsoft Ellison's eyes radiate a terrible light. For a long time, "oracle" has been under the pressure of "Microsoft", while Ellison is ridiculed by Paul Allen every time. This time, he must make "oracle" turn over, even if he can't surpass "Microsoft", at least equal to "Microsoft".
Lin Feng nodded. This time Ellison openly and comprehensively supports "Baidu portal" with such a high profile, the outside world will certainly continue to pay attention to what actions "Baidu portal" and "oracle" will take, and whether there will be deeper exchanges between the two sides. At this time, Ellison's attack to acquire "sun" and "NVIDIA" is the best opportunity.
Ellison put his cigar in his mouth, took a strong breath, and then exhaled.
"Lin, I need you to prepare $3-4 billion in cash! This acquisition of sun and NVIDIA, I estimate, will cost US $12 billion in total. Now our company is a little short of funds. It's difficult to acquire sun and NVIDIA at the same time! So I need your cooperation. As for you use that company to buy, it's up to you! I suggest that the second world should be used for acquisition, which is good for the second world. " Ellison said.
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, if second world owns NVIDIA's shares, that would make a difference“ Second world already has two major hardware development departments, AMD and ATI“ Amd "is CPU, computer chip, the main opponent is only" Intel ". At present," second world "is far from being able to compete with" Intel ". However, "ATI" is a sharp weapon for "second world" to compete with "Intel", but its main competitor is also "NVIDIA". Whether it is for its own interests or others, NVIDIA has always been on the side of "Intel" either explicitly or implicitly. If "second world" owns shares of "NVIDIA" in the future, it will have far-reaching significance.
If Lin Feng can control NVIDIA by then, not to say that he will unite to boycott Intel, but at least fully support AMD CPU, it will be enough for Intel. Of course, Ellison let the "second world" financing "NVIDIA", from one side also shows that Ellison has no attempt to compete with the "second world" in the personal stand-alone graphics card market!
"Well, Allison, I'll leave first. I'll go and raise money. After all, in addition to this money, the money needed to annex "Yahoo" is not cheap! " Lin Feng got up and said.
Ellison patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. He was really powerless in this respect. The acquisition of "Yahoo" requires at least $37 billion in cash (or plus shares), which is equivalent to half of "oracle". Oracle does not have the strength to help Lin Feng. However, as the world's richest man, Lin Feng also has three banks. Ellison believes that Lin Feng will solve the problem of capital( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
