Chapter 1105

For "Microsoft", the primary goal is still to acquire "Yahoo", everything else can be postponed. As for Oracle, which acquired "sun" and "NVIDIA", although it seems strong, as long as "Microsoft" can acquire "Yahoo", Oracle is a paper tiger, and other "Shenma" are floating clouds, floating clouds.

"Microsoft" is calm. After all, it is "Microsoft"!

As for Oracle's other rival, Steve Jobs, Apple's president, has a brilliant face. Originally, jobs was still watching the play. This unprecedented drama, the battle between "Baidu portal" and "Google", and Ellison's active involvement in this war make the battle of Internet search engine more exciting.

Jobs was originally prepared to take advantage of the chaos, so that "apple" in this troubled times, to restore the scenery of the past. Therefore, the entry of Ellison, a lunatic, is a chess piece enough to disturb the whole situation in jobs' eyes. Unfortunately, Ellison secretly took advantage of Chen Cang to buy "sun" and "NVIDIA" without making a sound, which stimulated jobs too much. He felt as if he had been fooled by Lin Feng and Ellison.

In front of Lin Feng and "Google" clamoring wildly, they even claimed $1 billion from "Google" in court. Later, Ellison also openly and fully supported "Baidu portal". Just when people were looking forward to the scuffle between the three companies, "oracle" suddenly surprised everyone, acquired "sun" and "NVIDIA" one after another, and became a super software company at one stroke, After Oracle digests and reorganizes sun and NVIDIA, it can be said that it will immediately become one of the super giants in the IT industry, a giant that can compete with the super companies such as Microsoft and IBM.

Thinking about the future of Oracle, jobs felt bitter. Now not only can't see the play, I'm afraid "apple" has a strong opponent since then. You know, "oracle" with "sun" and "NVIDIA" has independent hardware and software development capabilities, and will be able to launch professional server hardware bundled with database software, which conflicts with the profits of "apple".

Thinking of this, jobs had a headache. Fortunately, for Ellison, the real number one enemy is "Microsoft", not "apple". This may be self consolation for jobs. After all, Ellison, a lunatic, has strength, and the first thing to deal with is "Microsoft", because he doesn't like "apple".

Ellison's idea, for jobs, I do not know whether it is unfortunate or lucky.

As for Oracle's other rival, big blue, IBM, a deep it giant, is also the first time to be shocked by business events. For a long time, in the IT industry, although there is not much news about IBM, unlike other IT companies, which are flying around every day, either purchasing or selling new products, "IBM" seems to be invisible in the IT industry. Many young Internet users have even heard of the term "IBM". As for what "IBM" is, many people still don't know, and its low-key can be imagined.

But this time, Oracle's successive acquisitions of sun and NVIDIA shocked IBM.

IBM, international business machine company, or international business machine company. Founded in the United States in 1911, the company is the world's largest information technology and business solutions company, with more than 300000 employees worldwide and more than 160 countries and regions.

Generally speaking, "IBM" is a computer manufacturer, a long-term leader in the computer industry, and also a super software company. Its five major software brands, including lotus, WebSphere, iod, rational and Tivoli, are leaders or strong competitors in the software industry in their respective aspects. It can be said that today's "Microsoft" is booming. It is the largest software company in the world and the leader of IT industry. However, until 1999, the president of "Microsoft" only surpassed the software department of "IBM".

You know, "IBM" has not only the software department, but also the hardware department, which is a bigger department than "Intel". Besides the hardware department and software department, "IBM" also has its unique features in the fields of materials, chemistry, physics and other sciences.

It is no exaggeration to say that "IBM" is equivalent to a similar integration of "Microsoft" + "Intel" + "apple". Although its stock market value is not as good as "Microsoft", in terms of its strength, "IBM" is definitely No.1 in the IT industry. Of course, "IBM" is not as famous as "Microsoft" and "Intel" because its fields are mainly computer applications in professional fields, not civil computers.

However, there is a joke in the industry to describe the status of "IBM" - all these computers and software are left by "IBM"—— IBM has given up the commercial computer market to specialize in the application of professional computer because it thinks the commercial computer is too simple. Otherwise, if "IBM" restarts the commercial computer application plan, I'm afraid there will be no "Microsoft" and "Intel" in full swing now.

Of course, this sentence is a little too much. You should know that the reason why "IBM" was transformed into a professional field at the beginning was not only to develop more cutting-edge computer technology, but also because of the mistakes made by the decision-makers. At that time, they thought that the commercial computer market was not big (at that time, computers were still very large and expensive, which could not be used by ordinary people), That's why we gave up the market which seemed dispensable at that time and specialized in computer applications in professional fields.

Today, even IBM, which has always been known as a computer leader, is shocked. The impact of Oracle's acquisition of sun and NVIDIA can be imagined.

"I can't believe that Ellison has developed to this point!"“ Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM's current president, sighed as he heard the news.

You know, it's also because Ellison accidentally read the famous paper "relational model of large shared database data" published by Edgar coulter, a researcher of IBM, on communications of ACM, that Oracle is now available. Therefore, "IBM" has always regarded "oracle" as a leak picking company, and regarded Ellison as a branch of "IBM". Of course, it is a branch without any relationship.

However, no matter who it is, it must be admitted that there would never have been Oracle and Ellison without Edgar cotter's paper of IBM Research Institute.

"Mr. Watson III, what do you think of the acquisition of sun and NVIDIA by Oracle? What strategy do you think our company should adopt? "“ Peng Mingsheng, the current president of IBM, humbly consulted Watson III, a middle-aged man sitting in front of him.

IBM was founded by Watson family. Its first president was Thomas John Watson, and its second president was Thomas John Watson Jr. under the leadership of Watson Jr., IBM has developed from an unknown company to an international business giant. The year before last, Watson died of illness, and Peng Mingsheng was the CEO of IBM.

As for Watson III, he was the only son of little Watson. Although "IBM" was founded by the Watson family, most of the generation of Watson III did not intend to develop in business. Therefore, little Watson left "Watson fund" to his descendants. Every year, the money earned by "IBM" will be transferred to "Watson fund" according to its shares, which will be enjoyed by his children, Members of the Watson family only own shares in IBM, but they don't have voting rights.

However, Watson III is after all the son of little Watson and the largest shareholder of "IBM". Therefore, "IBM" invited Watson III back as an honorary chairman in memory of little Watson's contribution to "IBM". General affairs are handled by the "IBM" board of directors. Only when there is a major event, the descendants of the "IBM" founder and the largest shareholder will be consulted.

Watson III rubbed the temple with his hand. He is really not interested in business, but this company is the ancestral property of the Watson family. They are kindly invited to return to their ancestral property as an honorary director, and Watson III can't refuse.

"Peng Mingsheng, you should know that I don't understand business. Just decide." Watson III was quite irresponsible in shirking all responsibility.

Peng Mingsheng shook his head. Although little Watson originally set up the "Watson fund" because his descendants were unwilling to go into business, so that his descendants could enjoy the fruits of their parents' labor and keep the company as much as possible. However, if Watson III is completely indifferent, I'm afraid that in a short time, "IBM" will be grateful to the "Watson family". I'm afraid that the complex of "Watson family" will be gone. At that time, if an ambitious comes and "IBM" can't get it right, it will no longer be called "Watson". After all, if you really meet an ambitious and powerful person, you can take advantage of the "IBM" stock in the hands of the Watson family.

After all, Watson III and his younger sisters are so ignorant of business. Peng Mingsheng, who has been greatly favored by little Watson, was promoted by him. Therefore, if he wants to help little Watson keep "IBM" as much as possible, so that he can always be the industry of the Watson family, now it seems that he can only do his best.

"What do you think, gentlemen?" Peng Mingsheng said.

Watson III was relieved to see Peng let go of himself（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
