Global Monopoly of Technology

To say what is the most valuable in the 21st century, many people may say high technology, while Luo Sheng will say big data.

Data is the most commercially valuable thing in this century.

MySQL is very useful to Luo Sheng. First of all, it can make Oracle uncomfortable, due to the high cost of Oracle database and the suppression of piracy by the laws of mainland China.

Yes, that's right, it is to suppress piracy. This is not connivance, but suppression.

Don't look at Microsoft's indifference to the use of pirated Windows systems by individual users, but if any company dares to use pirated versions, Microsoft will send a lawyer's letter every minute, and that company will have to pay.

The income of enterprise-level users is much higher than that of individuals, and Microsoft actually still makes a lot of money in China.

Not to mention the high cost of suppressing personal piracy, it is thankless. If it charges fees, it will create competitors out of thin air. Microsoft is not that stupid, and user habits are very scary things. Even if individual users buy Apple computers, they are used to It will also earn windows, which gives Microsoft's operating system an unparalleled dominance that no one can shake.

Even Luo Sheng can't do it, because user habits have already made the windows system invincible. To break Microsoft's dominance in the PC era, only the dimensionality reduction of the mobile Internet and smartphones has caused the PC market to shrink and indirectly make Microsoft's operating system. kill.

No one uses computers, or fewer and fewer people use them. PCs have become a sunset industry. Of course, Microsoft's dominance will disappear. This is fundamentally eradicated.

Luo Sheng insists on the strategy of "dimension reduction and attack". Through mobile Internet, smart phones and smart wearable devices in the future 5G era, only "dimension reduction and attack" can kill windows.

The high cost of Oracle's database and the legal suppression of piracy have led to more and more small and medium-sized enterprises using open source free MySQL. It is cost-effective for enterprises, and MySQL is sufficient for their applications.

If there is no MySQL, Bluestar Technology may not have been born so smoothly, and the initial data operation cost may double and soar.

Oracle, who has lost MySQL, must be uncomfortable, because the small and medium-sized enterprise market is extremely large, and this market is firmly occupied by MySQL, and this market has been the target of Oracle for a long time.

From a business point of view, Luo Sheng's idea is similar to Ali Baba's idea of ​​supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.

From a technical point of view, MySQL and the big data of Bluestar Technology Group share the technical commonality of the BDB core. Bluestar Technology can now take MySQL as a market booster rather than a competitor.

Strategically, the maintenance research and development of MySQL is still reserved, and it can even be provided to small and medium-sized enterprises for free. On the development interface, it can achieve smooth transfer with Bluestar Technology, use completely free MySQL to retain the market, and gradually realize the follow-up services of Bluestar Technology Group.

Another hidden benefit is that Luo Sheng provides another big database platform for deep learning for his artificial intelligence Nov.

...

On Friday morning, on the streets by Yangcheng Lake, pedestrians including some college students from nearby schools all stopped to watch a morning jogging team, and there was a lot of discussion. Some college students even looked at the team madly. of a young man.

In this morning jogging team, Luo Sheng was the leader, and the others were bodyguards in casual clothes who followed him along the morning jog.

Luo Sheng spends about an hour every day exercising in various ways, sometimes in the gym, but it is not the company's nor he bought it personally, but the company's rental package.

At present, the "Mobius Ring" headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group and the "City of Stars" headquarters of Azure Coast Company are in full swing. In addition, Luo Sheng's enterprise-level private super mansion "Technology The complex" is also under construction.

Although it started the latest, his private residence was built the fastest and is expected to be put into use by the end of the first half of this year.

Both his private residence and the new headquarters of the two companies are located on the banks of Yangcheng Lake, and they deserve to be the latest, most technologically advanced and iconic landmark buildings in Sioux City.

It is no exaggeration to say that the leaders of Sucheng have already regarded Luo Sheng as the rhythm of the "God of Wealth". Just kidding, Luo Sheng's companies almost support more than one-third of the entire Sucheng's fiscal and tax revenue, and the proportion has increased. The rate of taxation is faster than the overall fiscal taxation of Sioux City. If this trend continues, the entire Sioux City can rely on Luo Sheng's corporate tax to support all public expenditures, and even have a surplus.

Luo Sheng actually doesn't like exercising indoors. He still likes this broad feeling, but now, as a celebrity, as soon as he goes out, he is like a giant panda in a zoo and is surrounded by melon-eating crowd.

Being famous and very famous, he must sacrifice some freedom and things that must be changed. For example, when going out for a morning run, Luo Sheng can't fix the time, place and other factors, because if it is too fixed, it will be easily to understand and control the laws of daily life.

Although this is in China, the accompanying bodyguards often don't have to deal with sudden and dangerous situations, more to open the way, but this is also essential, safety is very important, Luo Sheng's identity as a scientist in the last life, travel There are light and dark bodyguards with you.

Otherwise, with his current popularity and influence, he would be thrown out for a morning run without disguising at all, surrounded by fans or media reporters every minute, and even have a certain probability of being kidnapped.

It's annoying to be too famous...

However, Luo Sheng has never felt wrong in this situation since he became famous in this world, because he was used to it in his last life, and he was always the subject of special protection when he traveled, but he was a scientist in his last life. Being famous, this life is famous for being an entrepreneur at least so far.

"Mr. Luo, your phone number!"

At this moment, one of the bodyguards who was following him took a phone and ran faster and caught up with Luo Sheng. After he stopped, the others also stopped and waited.

Luo Sheng took the call. It was an Azure mobile phone. He swiped the answer button with his thumb and put it next to his ear.

"Mr. Luo, two pieces of good news. IBM has already negotiated the deal. The North American data center has been successfully implemented. At the same time, they are willing to help our group company to acquire MySQL, contain Oracle and Google, and prevent Sun from acquiring MySQL."

The person on the other end of the phone was Zhang Bowen.

Luo Sheng sat down casually on a marble seat by the roadside, and ordered, "Yes, but IBM's support for MySQL is just the icing on the cake, far from offering help in the snow, on the contrary, we have to take precautions. Trust, I mainly rely on myself to win MySQL, and in the current environment, the euro area may be worse than North America, and money can open the way if necessary.”

Having said that, Luo Shengyi wanted to add an explanation: "What I said about opening the way with money is not to bribe the Swedes, but to use large-scale funds to invest in Europe in exchange. This matter is handled by Yao Jianhong on the Cote d'Azur, and you are in charge. The relevant departments of Bluestar Technology can help.”

Zhang Bowen: "Understood!"

For the acquisition of MySQL, Luo Sheng did not intend to let Bluestar Technology Group take action, but the brother company Azure Coast to execute.

Today is the fourth day of the negotiation with the person in charge of IBM. The focus of the negotiation is really not about MySQL. This Luo Sheng does not want to rely on IBM to play a key role in it. If he thinks so, he is a fool. It is also impossible for Bluestar Technology Group to achieve such a huge scale today and still firmly control it in their own hands.

The focus of the negotiation with IBM's people this time is that cloud computing services the data center landing in North America.

This matter has been negotiated and fought fiercely since 2006, and it has taken nearly a year to two years. Finally, the dust settled in 2008.

The expansion of overseas markets is really not easy, just because Luo Sheng's surname is "Hua" instead of "Ou" or "Mei".

If it wasn't for a series of chemical reactions brought about by a combination of factors, the North American market would not be able to enter the North American market even after two years of fighting, and Luo Sheng knew better that the longer the delay, the more difficult it would be.

So far, all 9 large-scale data centers built by Bluestar Technology Group overseas have been implemented, including 5 in North America, 1 in Northern Virginia, 1 in Seattle, 2 in the California Bay Area, and 1 in Oregon.

Didn't Lao Mei always say data security?

It's not enough to build data in your home now.

Of course, Luo Sheng didn't expect the U.S. imperialists to end their troubles with Bluestar Technology Group, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and getting the access permit is an unprecedented victory, which means that expanding the data center in the future will not be as troublesome as it is today.

As the saying goes, it is easy to ask God to send him off, but Lao Mei has put Luo Sheng into their house now, and it will be as difficult as going to the sky if he wants to drive him out. meaningful.

Unless it is an obvious robber to plunder by force, but this is impossible, unless the Americans are crazy. What they do is destroying a country's credit system.

What's more, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, it doesn't take 30 years. The next ten years will be a decade of decline in the national strength of the United States, while the national strength of China will be a decade of rapid growth, and the world will undergo major changes unseen in a century. ten years.

One trades off and one trades off, and even if the Americans want to play hooligans, they will have to weigh them.

To put it simply and rudely, the wings of labor and capital are really hard!
