Chapter 1103

The acquisition of "sun" by "oracle" is absolutely an earthquake in the industry.

For a long time, "oracle" company has been particularly publicized and provocative, but "oracle" is also a software enterprise. Although it is the second largest software IT enterprise in the world, second only to "Microsoft", it does not control the "operating system" as "Microsoft" does, and occupies more than 95% of the market share of the industry. Therefore, although "oracle" is very powerful, it is nothing more than that for Ellison's opponents who are provocative. It is a strong and obnoxious opponent, but it is not an opponent worthy of being well prepared, just like a great enemy of life and death.

But now, after Oracle's acquisition of sun, it's completely different. Its meaning has completely changed. It's an essential change. Although sun is only a software company, it is a qualitative leap for Oracle. You know, "sun" is most famous for its creation of "Java" language, which is the most popular language on the Internet. It can be said that it is the first language on the Internet. Now, with the super database of "oracle bone inscriptions", it uses super network language + Super database to assist "cloud computing", which is a super integration software, Oracle can be said to have really reached the level of keeping pace with Microsoft.

Although the two companies are not in the same field at present, they only have competition in the field of server software. With Oracle's acquisition of sun and its acquisition of Java, as well as the advent of the Internet era, and Ellison's crazy man has always regarded defeating Microsoft as the number one goal, the two super software companies will definitely have to fight each other in the future. In the past, although Ellison provoked "Microsoft", it was more verbal than practical. But in the future, I'm afraid it won't be.

"This lunatic has bought sun in silence!"“ Steve Ballmer, the president of Microsoft, received the news with indignation on his face.

This period of time, "Microsoft" has been entangled in the acquisition of "Yahoo" issue. After all, this is an opportunity. You should know that "Baidu portal" is in a war with "Google". The two companies themselves have no energy to temporarily consider the acquisition of "Yahoo" by "Microsoft". In addition, the two companies are pinching each other. No matter who wins in the end, there will certainly be a market vacuum. At this time, "Microsoft" just takes advantage of the opportunity, In the acquisition of "Yahoo", you can get the maximum benefit!

No, for the sake of so-called dignity and pride, Yang Zhiyuan turned down Microsoft's $47 billion acquisition plan. This makes "Microsoft" up and down a bit annoyed, but the acquisition of "Yahoo" is imperative, which is very important for "Microsoft" in the next 10 years. Therefore, recently, all the attention of "Microsoft" has been on the acquisition of "Yahoo", and it has not noticed the small actions of "oracle". Otherwise, it will certainly notice the clues of "oracle" acquiring "sun". At that time, "Microsoft" could make some small moves at will. Even if it could not completely destroy Oracle to acquire "sun", it could also create more trouble in the middle.

"Come on, Steve, don't worry about Oracle. We just have to do our own thing. I believe Microsoft is the best software company on the planet“ Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, said easily.

Steve Ballmer received a slight shock. Yes, no matter what company Ellison acquired, "Microsoft" is "Microsoft", the best software company on the planet. Thinking of this, Steve Ballmer's heart is quiet, Bill Gates seems to have a new understanding.

For a long time, although Bill Gates has created the myth of "Microsoft", he is the creator of the American dream and the idol of countless people, Steve Ballmer always thinks that Bill Gates is not a qualified leader, he is more suitable to be a technician, that is, his title - chief architecture engineer. But now, after hearing what Bill Gates said, Steve Ballmer just realized that although Bill Gates is not a qualified leader, he is definitely a qualified boss.

He has excellent foresight and great atmosphere, which is the key reason why "Microsoft" has been prosperous!

Compared with the calm of "Microsoft", many competitors of "oracle" in the market are shocked. Oracle, which acquired sun, is no longer what ordinary companies can cope with. I'm afraid only Microsoft can be so generous, ignoring the "rise" of Oracle again.

Of course, "oracle" acquisition of "sun" is not enough to make the outside world really boiling, the real boiling is followed by another news.

After Oracle acquired sun again, without waiting for the outside world to fully digest the news, it made a big deal again and acquired NVIDIA at nearly the same price of $7.2 billion. Of course, after the acquisition of sun, Oracle did not have enough funds to acquire NVIDIA. This time, Oracle and phantom technology jointly acquired NVIDIA, with each company holding 50% shares.

Boom! With regard to this news, the whole IT industry is like a volcanic eruption. All the companies are shocked, boiling, and stunned. Even Microsoft, which has been extremely calm before, and IBM, which has always been deeply hidden, are simply speechless in the face of this news.

NVIDIA is a semiconductor company that mainly designs display chips and motherboard chipsets. At present, it is the king of display chips in the personal computer industry, and it is also a very core company in the personal computer industry. Although its every move is not as influential as Intel on the personal computer industry, it should not be underestimated. Now, such a company has been acquired!

In fact, it's not that NVIDIA has no backbone, but that its opponents are too tough. In the past two years, although NVIDIA has an overwhelming advantage in the stand-alone graphics card market, it is extremely depressing that although the market is dominant, the profit is not dominant, and even a little loss. One of the reasons for this is the "ATI" hardware development department of "second world", that is, the original "ATI" company. Since the "ATI" company joined the "second world" and had sufficient funds for R & D, its product development has been faster and faster from generation to generation. This year, the price of "ATI's" flagship product, radon 9800 pro, has been reduced to 1499 yuan. Last year, the price was as high as 3000 yuan, which is half of the price reduction. Formed, high-end products, low-end prices.

Its corresponding "NVIDIA" products, the current price is as high as 1999 yuan, the difference is as much as 500 yuan, but the performance is almost the same. And this phenomenon of great price contrast, not only appears in the high-end graphics card market. For high-end, mid end and low-end products, although NVIDIA's graphics card, the legendary "n card", is slightly ahead of ATI's graphics cards in terms of performance, there is a gap between the two sides in terms of price.

Therefore, for consumers, they can take the way of "Tian Ji racing" to choose their own "ATI graphics card", that is, the legendary "a card", which has caused great pressure to "NVIDIA". However, "NVIDIA" is also quite helpless. There's no way. There's a "second world" behind the "ATI", and Lin Feng is the richest man in the world. But Lin Feng is willing to lose money. What can NVIDIA do!

Who let "ATI" merge into "the second world" and met Lin Feng, a lunatic, to allow "ATI" not to earn a cent is to grab the market. Therefore, when NVIDIA meets such a lunatic opponent who would rather not make profits as long as the market, it can only bow to the disadvantage. Although they have also chosen to reduce the price, there is no doubt that "ATI" can start to lose money. With the earning power of "second world", ATI can make losses all the time, while NVIDIA is different. They don't have the backing of "second world", a well funded company, which can make them lose money.

Therefore, when Oracle proposed the acquisition, NVIDIA agreed to the acquisition after careful consideration. After all, there are quite a few US $7.2 billion, which is 130% higher than the current stock market value of NVIDIA, and NVIDIA is already quite satisfied. Of course, when people learned that Oracle's partner in acquiring NVIDIA was phantom technology, they were quite surprised.

You know, phantom technology is owned by Lin Feng. At present, each of the two companies owns 50% of NVIDIA's shares. I'm afraid it's not too much to say that NVIDIA is Lin Feng's.

Think about it. With AMD, NVIDIA and ATI, Lin Feng has enough energy to change the development of the computer game industry. Absolutely qualified! For his company and "ATI" eventually, are under the control of Lin Feng, "NVIDIA" up and down helpless sigh.

Although in the heart slightly is not willing, but who calls the other people to be rich and powerful, has no way!

Compared with NVIDIA's acceptance of the takeover, the faces of other companies are really wonderful（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
