"Om-oom--"

In the luxurious bedroom with a combination of Chinese and Western, the surroundings are pitch black, with only the dim light from the floor lamp in the corner, barely able to see the situation in front of them clearly.

Messy clothes were quietly scattered on the surrounding carpets, and the truffle smell in the air was getting weaker and weaker. On the mahogany Kingsize carved with landscapes on the back, Andy's handsome face like a sculpture, who was already asleep, was slightly wrinkled. Frowning, he opened his sleepy eyes amidst the constant buzzing of the mobile phone on the Chuangtou cabinet.

Andy tried to stretch his left arm to grab the phone, but it was a little far away, so he could only gently move away the little assistant who was curled up in his arms like an octopus, and put the sleeping little assistant's head on the On the pillow, the blond hair was spread out messily, looking at the red glow on the fair and pretty face that was close at hand, and the slightly frowned eyebrows, Andy couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head and smiled lightly.

Seeing the little assistant with the corners of his mouth raised while sleeping, and his face full of satisfaction, a sentence flashed in Andy's mind, an excellent female assistant would say good morning, boss!

And the very good female assistant said, boss, it's morning!

He lifted the quilt and got off the floor, picked up a nightgown and put it on, then picked up the phone that was no longer buzzing, and walked out of the bedroom, checking for missed calls.

"Edward leaves."

Andy was taken aback for a moment, but immediately began to call back. You know, Lao Ye usually doesn't call his personal phone, but calling him at this point today, one can imagine the importance of the matter.

"Sorry, boss, to disturb your rest."

As soon as the call was connected, Lao Ye's apologetic words came from the phone, and Andy said with a smile: "Hehe, I won't wake you up because of your call. I feel depressed. What I worry about is what are you doing?" Contact me so urgently, don't scare me."

"Hehe, don't worry, the company is working normally. I called you in such a hurry because of Oracle's acquisition of Sun."

When Andy heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with some doubts: "Didn't we talk about it before? Didn't you say that even after Oracle integrated SUN, it would not be enough to shake the stable business market structure of servers, storage, and software services?" ..."

Not long ago, Oracle, which claims to be the "world's largest enterprise software company", announced that it would eat up the server giant Sun at a price of US$7.4 billion, which attracted global attention.

Before that, only IBM and Hewlett-Packard were full-service companies for enterprise users in the IT industry.

A business that can provide servers, storage, and software services. However, in the past five years, Oracle has gradually transformed through the acquisition of PeopleSoft and other companies. After the acquisition of SUN, it finally entered the ranks of this full-service company. Many people believe that the IT industry has changed from a situation of two tigers competing to a situation of three pillars.

However, Lao Ye sneered at this, and Lao Ye’s original words were, "...it’s not a three-legged situation at all. From the perspective of last year’s turnover, IBM’s turnover was 103.6 billion US dollars, HP’s was 118.3 billion US dollars, and Oracle and SUN combined were also However, it is 36.2 billion US dollars, which is about one-third of the previous two companies.

In terms of profit, IBM's is $12.3 billion, HP's is $8.3 billion, and Oracle plus SUN's profit is less than $6 billion. It can be seen that the profit is less than half of IBM's. From the perspective of the product line, although there are servers, two of which have databases, two of which have middleware, and both have management software and information services, this cannot form a three-legged situation. "

In fact, many media also believe that Oracle has acquired a hot potato. You must know that before this, the transition to the so-called "software as a service" or cloud computing has caused Sun's core server business to fall into chaos, and the integration of Sun's server business will greatly increase Oracle risk.

Of course, some people think that after Oracle acquired SUN, an enterprise version of Apple was born. For a long time, SUN has been very independent in terms of hardware. It has always used its own hardware platform and its own operating system, and has also focused on the image of high-end users. In this way, Oracle will become a representative enterprise leading the development of Java standards in one fell swoop.

"My point of view remains unchanged. However, I am afraid that many people have guessed wrongly about the purpose of Oracle's acquisition of SUN... I think Oracle's real purpose is to compete for software developers!"

When Andy heard this, he couldn't help frowning, sat on the sofa in the outer living room, reached out and pressed the service bell, waiting for Lao Ye's next words.

"In the long run, Oracle will not have any interest in the hardware and systems business. In the future, it will gradually find buyers for these businesses and divest them.

You know, Oracle's software business has gross profit margins above 90%, so it's not interested in the hardware and systems market.

I think it bought Sun for one thing and that was to be the center of the software development community. . . By acquiring Sun, Oracle will be able to control the Java programming language and some important development tools based on it. At the same time, the resources of thousands of related programmers can be obtained. That could give Oracle a massive clout it never had, allowing it to compete more strategically with real rivals like IBM and Microsoft. "

Hearing this, Andy's complexion couldn't help but look a little ugly. First, he said 'coffee' to his maid who walked in, and after seeing the maid bowed and left, he said to the phone: "For Oracle, which is rumored in the industry, It is possible to give up the open source database MySQL, which can be completely ignored, and we have no chance to take advantage of it?"

"I'm afraid so. For all of Oracle's many database assets, none have more appeal to today's eb-based world than MySQL. Those at Oracle will surely find the success of MySQL, the free database software company for Linux, It continues to grow rapidly."

"This is really a headache!" Andy was also given a headache by Lao Ye's analysis. To be honest, after learning that Oracle acquired SUN, he still felt that the only possibility would be to be split or abandoned by Oracle. The strange thing is that Sun originally acquired the MySQL company to expand the user and developer communities, and then create commercial services to attract paying users, because this business is relatively repetitive for Oracle. Andy and Lao Ye's wishful thinking is, When Oracle sells off, eat up the MySQL company, which Lao Ye knows its value well, to improve and improve their self-developed general-purpose database for Misica cloud computing.

You know, Yahoo in the United States took the lead in using the MySQL database back then. At one time, thousands of servers in the world used the MySQL database.

The aura of Yahoo at the beginning was much higher than that of Google and Facebook today. It can be said that the structure of all Internet companies in China today can find its source in Yahoo. Under the demonstration effect of Yahoo, Internet companies in China have all started their own The way to MySQL.

The status of MySQL in the Internet is irreplaceable, especially in China, where all Internet companies have learned more or less, worshiped these open source databases, developed them on their own, and spread their branches and leaves.

"From this point of view, not only can we fail to achieve our goal, but the database industry has to worry that MySQL will gradually become a kind of commercial software, and whether the MySQL licensing agreement will become more stringent than it is now!" Andy was a little unhappy Said.

"It's almost like this. Of course, this has little to do with our Muxica cloud database. It may be a good thing. After all, we are the brighter future. After the database is on the cloud, many ways to play have just begun. We will deliver a more imaginative future."

"Since this is the case, Lao Ye, then your call..." Andy is also very confident about this, but he is still not very comfortable about the fact that the project of picking up cheap money that he originally planned may fail in the end. When Lao Ye said that, he was a little speechless, and directly asked him the purpose of making this call.

"Poach people! Spare no effort, do everything possible to poach people from SUN! As long as they are relevant programmers, they can be poached with a high salary, as much as they can, and it is best to poach them all, not to that old bastard Ellison. , leave one talent behind!" Lao Ye said in a very serious tone.
