Chapter 246： [It's messy, it's all messy! 】

, The latest chapter in the latest global monopoly of technology!

Bluestar Technology Group headquarters, internal executive meetings.

The participating Zhang Bowen spoke: "It's messed up, it's messed up, it's all messed up, and the whole northwest of Shanxi has become a pot of porridge ..."

Everyone heard Lao Zhang's sudden expression of such a sentence as a can not help but look.

And Zhang Bowen continued his speech with a clear eye: "Two years ago, it was said that Google was plotting to acquire Sun Microsystems. It seemed that nothing had happened. Oracle also came out at this time, and Sun Microsystems wanted to put the Swedish company MySQL. The acquisition directly led to the participation of five or six IT multinational giants, making the whole situation chaotic and even impossible to start. "

After a while, another senior executive at the meeting said quite worriedly: "I can say that Bluestar Technology is the complete financial competitor, but the key to this acquisition is not how much money it has. It ’s because Bluestar ’s surname is 'Hua', not surnamed 'Beauty'. Even if Oracle and Google do n’t come out to disrupt this merger and acquisition case, it will be very difficult to succeed. It ’s really worse for them to jump out. ”

Obviously, the executive who spoke was pessimistic about the prospect of acquiring Sun. The other participants did not speak, but they basically assumed this fact.

Luo Sheng, who was less verbal at the meeting, immediately asked in a deep voice: "To win from this scuffle, we must first understand the first point, who is our enemy and who is our friend. ? Or who may be our friends, who may be our enemies. Without first figuring this out, we will lose. "

Having said that, Luo Sheng looked at Zhang Bowen: "Isn't the person in charge of the negotiations of IBM saying that he will arrive today? When is it?"

Zhang Bowen responded immediately: "I have scheduled the meeting time, it is about 16:00 this afternoon."

Luo Sheng nodded, looked around at everyone, and said for a moment of silence: "Our acquisition of Sun is to build a full-service product line from software to hardware, but the key is the company's Java language, but even if we lose Sun Microsystems' It is not unacceptable to us, but MySQL cannot give up, and we must take it down anyway, as long as MySQL is in our hands, whether Sun is in the hands of Larry Ellison or Larry Page Here, MySQL will always be a thorn in their throat. "

MySQLAB is the most popular open source database developer in the world today. Luo Sheng pays more attention to this company. Once the merger and acquisition is completed, with the cloud computing service business segment of Bluestar Technology Group, it can quickly be built into a server, The best company in hardware such as workstations, enterprise solutions, SPARC processors, storage devices, etc.

...

In the afternoon, Bob Swan, a global vice president sent by IBM, came to Blue Star Technology. He got off the plane without a break, and immediately transferred to Sioux City.

In the guest room at the moment, Luo Sheng was interviewing the person in charge sent by IBM.

"Mr. Swan, let's talk about the data center. Now we should talk about the Sun company." Luo Sheng said, looking at the middle-aged man with a hook nose sitting opposite him.

Bob Swan said without hesitation: "IMHO, Mr. Luo, the probability that your company wants to acquire Sun is 99% of the time, it is either Google, Oracle, or IBM. You know, The speed of Bluestar Technology Group's expansion in North America has deeply disturbed the authorities. Never before has a Chinese company expanded so aggressively in the IT industry. "

Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard his words. He naturally put his legs up and looked at the American in front of Erlang with a smile and said, "This is Zan Bo Swan shrugging.

"OK, let's open the sunroof and speak brightly." Luo Sheng lowered Erlang's legs that had just been tilted back down, leaned forward slightly, staring directly at Bob Swan, and said: "... Oracle has swept the software field and is Taking the opportunity to enter the hardware field, this move will inevitably face the competition with IBM and HP. The original pattern of competition between IBM and HP will also be broken, and the IT industry has entered a triad era. I think your company should be more aware of this than me. I know that your company also wants to win Sun simply to prevent Oracle from invading your core territory. "

Having said that, Luo Sheng leaned back on the sofa and tilted Erlang's legs again, watching Bob Swan adding: "Oracle is a company with personality, which is inherited from its CEO Larry Ellison. Characteristics. Previously, I saw a news website commenting on Larry Ellison: He is Barton, and during World War II, Barton led the Third Army to sweep the European battlefield. "

Bob Swan looked at Luo Sheng in confusion: "I don't understand what you mean, can you be more straightforward?"

Luo Sheng didn't know if he didn't understand completely or didn't understand, but he could be sent to negotiate with himself by IBM. That should be knowingly. Luo Sheng simply assumed that he was pretending to laugh, "Come on, Sun is seeking Merger and acquisition of MySQLAB, the world's most popular open source database developer. Once the two companies merge and move into the embrace of Oracle, wouldn't you and I want to see it? "

Bob Swan was silent.

Luo Sheng said again: "In fact, I want to do the same."

Facing Luo Sheng's outspoken and frank words, Bob Swan's eyelids could not help but jump slightly, but soon recovered.

That's right, for IBM, the threat from Oracle is great, and the threat from Bluestar and Luo Sheng is also great.

There is nothing to hide. Everyone is a giant. His Majesty does not have a group of think tanks behind it.

Luo Sheng basically has a rough judgment in his own mind. It seems that the opportunity for Blue Star Technology Group to acquire Sun is basically very slim, and North American authorities can't pass it.

Since this is the inevitable ending, it will not be possible to rip off IBM at this time, and large data centers will not be able to enter the North American market, and cloud computing services will lose more losses in the North American market.

On the bright side, although he is furious with IBM and HP and Intel can cooperate, Luo Sheng is more inclined to cooperate with IBM. After all, he prefers IBM's solution in the server area, which is also in this field. Number one player.

It's just that Luo Sheng didn't show this kind of thought and was discovered by IBM.

After a while, Luo Sheng said, "I have a more eclectic solution here, maybe both IBM and Bluestar Technology Group can accept it. I think your company definitely does not want others to penetrate into the hinterland of IBM's kingdom. I also do not want others. Deep into the hinterland of my blue star technology. Very good, it seems that a delicate balance can be reached on this issue to reach a consensus. "

Luo Sheng knows that if Bluestar Technology merges Sun and MySQL, it will also compete with IBM and Hewlett-Packard and become a three-legged industry structure. Therefore, IBM will definitely make it worse and become an enemy, but in the reverse, as long as With adjustments, enemies can also become friends between fights.

The value of MySQL may be about one billion US dollars, but it is the world's largest open source database system. Its impact is very far-reaching. It has become the de facto standard for open source databases. It is mainly used in SME database applications and huge Internet background system applications. Bluestar Technology, Google, and most of the Internet companies in China are built on this huge open source database system.

Bob Swan looked at Luo Sheng curiously, "Oh? May I listen to you."

Luo Sheng said without hesitation: "I can give up without dispute. The ultimate ownership of it is Oracle or Google. I don't care, but MySQL should belong to me. IBM should actively promote it. Only in this way can it be separated. Is the most favorable situation for you, because you have no need to worry about the threat at all, and it is acceptable to me. "

"Whether Sun Microsystems falls into the hands of Oracle or Google, it will naturally drive me to enter into an alliance with Bluestar Technology and IBM. Two-on-one we can suppress our opponents."

As soon as Bob Swan was in this thought, he was not in a hurry to respond, and Luo Sheng was not in a hurry to give him an answer immediately.

In any case, this is indeed a fairly compromised solution, and each other can accept such a result.

In this way, if Sun is acquired by Oracle, it will also have to compete with Bluestar Technology. After all, the database application solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises have to look at MySQL, which will greatly break Larry Ellison's Ambition, thinking about taking care of his own backyard will save him to toss in the hardware field.

The hardware is enough for IBM and HP. Just like Intel for AMD, the young couple lived peacefully and broke into a nasty third party to break the balance, not to make you fool.

At the end, Bob Swan stopped thinking and looked at Luo Sheng and said, "I can't give you an answer right away."

Luo Sheng nodded happily and said, "No problem, things can be discussed slowly. I'm not in a hurry. IBM has enough time to consider."

Bob Swan rolled his eyes frantically, scolding the **** for standing without talking back pain, of course you **** is not in a hurry, but IBM is dying.

The contract of the data center is about to default. I only blame the failure to withstand the temptation of Luo Sheng's olive branch. The tens of billions of dollars contract and the billions of dollars of sky-high penalty ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It's soft, it's impossible to move.

Unless the contract is signed.

So IBM signed up.

It is just that IBM did not expect that the North American authorities would be so obstructed. They thought, but they did not think that the intensity would be so great that it far exceeded the internal estimates of IBM.

Once the contract is breached, not only will the tens of billions of dollars of contracts be gone, but a huge penalty will be paid.

If it is not air-blasted, it must explode in place.

Fortunately, the progress of this matter is barely smooth. Although there are many twists and turns, it also took more than a year to make new progress today, but as long as it does not breach the contract, it can safely earn tens of billions from Bluestar Technology. Dollar list.

Everything is worth it.
