At the headquarters of "IBM", many directors frown and look thoughtful. This situation is extremely rare. Since "IBM" has become the world's largest business giant, this phenomenon has rarely appeared in the face of many directors. Whether it's a world war or an economic crisis, "IBM" will always stand firm and be absolutely powerful. Therefore, in the face of any situation, "IBM" can be as calm as it is. It is no exaggeration to say that "IBM" people are born with a feeling of despising all living beings.
This is a sense of superiority that "IBM" has been standing at the forefront of modern science and technology and leading the development of computers for decades. It is also a kind of cultural precipitation and historical vicissitudes. This is not a mentality that can be possessed in a short time. As a result, "IBM" people have always been able to cope with any changes. But this event, after Oracle acquired sun and NVIDIA in a short time, finally moved IBM.
Although Oracle has acquired sun and NVIDIA, they still can't be compared with IBM. Although the gap between them is still huge, they are not as different as before. With Ellison's personality, Peng Mingsheng knows that Ellison will definitely challenge "IBM" in the future.
Although Ellison often talks wildly on various occasions that his first goal in life is to surpass "Microsoft", people who really know Ellison know that "Microsoft" is only Ellison's first goal, and Ellison actually has another goal in his heart, that is, IBM.
For a long time, although the industry marvels at the magic of Oracle, which can become No.1 in the field of database business in a short time, many people think that this is because Ellison is lucky to see the paper of Edgar cote, a researcher of "IBM", which leads to today's Oracle. Within IBM, this view is also quite common. Many "IBM" people even think that this is because at that time "IBM" did not want to develop in the commercial field, so it turned to focus on the professional field, leaving the commercial field to others, denying that "oracle bone inscriptions" would never exist.
For Ellison, who has always been arrogant, this view is undoubtedly very resentful. However, although Ellison is crazy, he is still rational and calm“ "Microsoft" he can also provoke, but in the face of "IBM" he is almost weak, even the power to fight back. Therefore, although Ellison was eager to beat "IBM" and prove that he had the strength to beat "IBM" through his efforts, although he had relied on "IBM" for his thesis hairpin, but "IBM" was too powerful to go crazy.
However, after Oracle acquired sun and NVIDIA this time, it finally made itself one of the super giants in the industry. It can also be regarded as barely having the strength to challenge IBM. It is no longer just a happy mouth as before. People do not pay attention to him at all.
It is also because of the realization that Ellison has the qualification to challenge "IBM", that many directors of "IBM" look so serious. Although, for the moment, they are not afraid of Ellison, after all, the gap between the two sides is too big, which can not be settled in the short term. But in the future, after the integration of Oracle, what will this madman do?
When people think about it, they feel headache. This Ellison's personality is a bit unreasonable, but his company is in trouble with this kind of person. It's said that the king of hell is easy to provoke, but the kid is hard to deal with. This Ellison is probably one of the most difficult people in the world.
Peng Mingsheng saw that the discussion came and went, but there was no conclusion. On the contrary, the topic became more and more distant. It was even a bit like the trend of swearing. He shook his head and coughed to stop the swearing. At this time, Watson III on one side shook his head and looked disgusted on his face. Obviously, Watson III despised the ugly faces of the business people.
When Peng Mingsheng saw Watson III's expression, he sighed. I'm afraid that in the next ten years, IBM may no longer be Watson. If so, it would be a pity. I'm afraid this will become a special case of family business controlled by others in the history of American family.
"All right, everybody. In fact, we don't have to worry too much about Oracle. In terms of the inside information, it's not too bad for IBM to be the number one in the computer industry. The cutting-edge technology we have in various fields is far from what Oracle can match by acquiring sun and NVIDIA. What's more, it's just business technology, while ours is absolutely cutting-edge technology, Military technology Peng Mingsheng's eyebrows are full of pride.
No matter how arrogant Oracle is, its technology is limited to commercial use. As we all know, commercial technology is second-class, and the real first-class technology is in the military. And "IBM" is for the military. Of course, at the same time, make some money in business. Therefore, although the stock market value of "IBM" is no more than $170 billion, which is far lower than that of "Microsoft" which is more than $220 billion, in fact, it is because many of the strengths of "IBM" are hidden. Its financial statements only declare the profits of the business sector most of the time, while those of the military have never. Of course, there is no need to declare.
This time, Peng Mingsheng held a board meeting to let people discuss Ellison, not because he was worried about Ellison's future provocation against "IBM", but because of monopoly operation, he wanted to put some vitality on the "big blue" whose thinking was a little rigid, hoping that they would not make mistakes again and be as fatuous as before.
Ellison's "oracle bone inscriptions" may be able to spur people to be sober and more alert. The world is changing with each passing day. Although "IBM" is dominating now, it will definitely make unforgivable mistakes if it continues to be as ignorant as before. For example, before "IBM" mistakenly estimated the use of computers in the commercial field, and resolutely gave up the market, and it lost hundreds of billions of dollars. IBM can't make this mistake again.
Unfortunately, according to Peng Mingsheng, people are not alert at all. Thinking of this, Peng Mingsheng can only sigh. Too stable life, perhaps has let "IBM" people thinking ossified, but also too optimistic. I believe that the world will always be my own.
At a time when Mr. palmisan's headache is that IBM's directors are too rigid, there are more headaches.
Originally, the main character of this acquisition event is Oracle, and although Ellison is crazy, he is not ready to fire indiscriminately and make enemies everywhere. But now it's not good news for a company. This company is not any other 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 whole intel was shocked. For Intel, the news is a bit too shocking. Of course, it's not Oracle's acquisition of NVIDIA that makes Intel so shocked. It's Oracle's acquisition of NVIDIA in conjunction with phantom technology, with each holding 50%.
"Phantom technology", a company mainly engaged in electronic products, has been established for only three years. Is it worthy of Intel's attention—— The answer is worth it! Because the boss of this company is not someone else, but Lin Feng, the richest man in the world.
Of course, if that's all, "Intel" is not afraid. You know, Intel, a super company and an absolute oligarch in the commercial chip industry, will not be the richest man in the world. After all, Intel's market value is as high as $192 billion, and its cash reserves are as high as $20 billion. Such a company can be said that for Lin Feng, the richest man, it's just respect, but never fear.
But Lin Feng is not the richest man after all. Lin Feng has "the second world", and the "amd" hardware development department of "the second world" is the enemy of "Intel". Of course, "amd" and "Intel" haven't been paid attention to. After all, "amd" and "Intel" can't be compared in terms of technology and financial resources. Even with a "second world" and "ATI", they can't be compared with "Intel".
But now that Lin Feng's "phantom technology" has acquired 50% of NVIDIA's shares, everything will be different. It's really different. Although the strength of NVIDIA is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Intel, its influence is enough to shock, alert and even worry Intel.
Because, in today's personal computer industry, there are only two manufacturers of graphics cards, one is "ATI" of "second world", the other is "NVIDIA". Today, "ATI" is in the hands of "second world", while half of "NVIDIA" is in the hands of "phantom technology". These two companies are owned by Lin Feng, which means that Lin Feng now controls the graphics card market alone. Although the other half of NVIDIA's shares are in Oracle's hands, I'm afraid it's not too much for NVIDIA to say that Lin Feng is in charge because of the relationship between Ellison and Lin Feng.
