Chapter 488, Oracle joins, interest groups finally appear
"So, the direct theme of our meeting today is how to build an era of informationization. Looking at the world, the top computer companies are all here, so compared to those ordinary small companies, this responsibility is not something we can take. What else should we do?"
After talking and laughing, the topic returned to the focus: "Yes, friends, as computers become more and more popular and the construction of the Internet goes further, it can be easily calculated based on the current rate. In 20 years, 90% of the world's wealth will be concentrated in a large number of servers, rather than those bulky and ancient libraries."
These words were deeply recognized by everyone, especially Gates nodded the most seriously, Alice saw it and smiled in her heart. After all, the future path he imagined in the 1990s was only more exaggerated, not more exaggerated.
Of course, as the proposer of Moore's Law, how could Gordon Moore disagree with Alice's statement?
In addition, the word "Information Age" was suddenly proposed by Alice, but it has made everyone's eyes bright. Think about it carefully, the United States' information highway plan was proposed by the Senator in 1992. Although his behavior must be based on the will of Silicon Valley tycoons, it is only in 1989 after all, it is not?
"So for this meeting today, I invited Mr. Ellison from our Oracle Company."
He raised his hand to the man on the left respectfully, Alice continued to smile: "After all, our industries are interrelated, including various computer operating systems, computer hardware core CPUs, Internet hardware routers and switches, etc. Although these major industries constitute the information age, they undoubtedly lack the most critical element..."
"Oh, my database." After saying this, it was time for Larry Ellison to speak. Unlike the others here, he came to San Francisco from San Francisco to attend the internal meeting. He wanted to prove his role in this "internal meeting" which could not be achieved by the endless talk of the conference host.
Therefore, he stood up and said, "I am honored to be able to attend this conference, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, you are all amazing Silicon Valley glory, and you have a close relationship with our Miss Alice Wang. After receiving her invitation, I came to participate in this high-end conference that has almost brought together 40% of the essence of Silicon Valley... Haha, I think my company should make a further success?"
Speaking of this, he did not forget to nod at Gordon Moore.
At the conference table, the people in the Silicon Valley circle suddenly burst into laughter with "You know" laughter.
That's it. If Cisco was established by Alice, then Microsoft can really be said to have achieved success through her entirely. As for Intel, although Alice only proposed an algorithm to optimize CPU after investing in it, when facing Amd's relentless pursuit, any product performance improvement that does not increase costs will bring endless advantages to the company.
It’s really admirable to think about it. When it’s the turn to participate in the business operations, the boss in front of everyone actually has no effect at all. But this middle school student who rarely appears in public in the company and the industry will give up one or two technologies, and they are all good treasures that can scare people.
It’s not that we can’t live without her, but if we really don’t have her, we can basically stop eating like this.
"When it comes to the information age proposed by Alice, we can conceive such a model." After a pause, Ellison continued: "Thousands of PCs and corporate computers are the leaves of a big tree, and their popularity depends on the products of hardware vendors based on Intel. Then, the end is directly facing the users, supported by Microsoft's operating system, while Cisco's Internet hardware is responsible for supporting the construction of branches and transmitting the fundamental information source to thousands of households."
As he said that, he spread his hands and said, "Okay, so everyone has found the information source. The database system produced by my Oracle Company can ensure that it provides enough information sources to the society. After all, the so-called information age is fundamentally dependent on the amount of information people can obtain, not on the simple computers and how strong the Internet hardware is. No matter how prosperous the branches and leaves are, if there is no support from the roots and trunks, it can only be a castle in the air."
People around him nodded, and Gates touched his chin silently, just like his good friend Allen, just thinking about it. Larry Ellison, as a Seattle native, is not familiar with him, but seeing this father-like middle-aged man saying so well with Alice, it is obvious that they have had all kinds of "clubs".
When is it? God knows, of course, it is impossible to be too early. Such an important meeting could not be fully informed and invite a pure stranger directly by email. Ellison's explanation is simple and easy to understand, and it highlights his own importance. What everyone has to admit is that the database is indeed of great significance in the construction of the "information age".
"At present, there are still many database companies in Silicon Valley."
Gordon Moore spoke, and the oldest senior opened his mouth, even the middle-aged uncle had to immediately become impotence and sat down obediently.
"Sun Computer Systems, it was listed three years ago," he said. "I guess Mr. Posack and his wife have more say in this regard, right?"
Everyone then turned their attention to two other co-founders of Cisco. Andy Becktoson, the founder of Sun System, once studied for graduate school at Stanford, which is no secret for many people.
"A company founded by a genius." Posack spoke. When he said this, he of course looked at Alice in the Sea: "When Andy was still studying, he designed a small graphics computer of three million, called a graphics workstation. These three million refers to a computing degree of one million times per second, a memory of one million bytes and a graphics display of one million pixels. He used a Motorola 68ooo processor and used a very advanced memory manager chip at the time to support virtual memory..."
"Graphics Workstation?" said one of A&A's two directors. John Warnock's eyes lit up: "Is it the ones we Abode and Autodesk are using now? Their company...he designed that thing when he was in college?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. It seems that you are his customers." Posackron laughed and said, "According to Andy Bector's design, the graphics workstation is a general term for high-end specialized computers that specialize in graphics and static and dynamic images and video work. The companies that do image editing software will buy their computers, which is normal, very normal!"
A lot of whistles sounded at the scene. I saw it. This is a clear proof that in a big industry that is booming, internal personnel can really be considered interoperable!
"Anyway, their strength is very strong." Posack continued: "The company was established in 1982. The early workstations used Motorola's CPU. In 1985, they developed their own SPAC streamlined instruction set processor, which improved the performance of the workstation a lot. I believe Mr. Moore should know this very well."
Gordon Moore nodded repeatedly, streamlining the instruction set, and without any further improvement in production processes, the performance of the final product can be greatly increased. How is this different from the benefits Alice provides to Intel?
"So, Sun Systems is also a very powerful company, and it happens to be in the server field. Although their professional orientation is stronger." Moore took over Posack's words and said to Larry Ellison: "But undoubtedly, this company is a strong competitor of Oracle, and the other party is a hardware and software comprehensive exhibition, Oracle is focusing on the software field. Then Mr. Ellison, although Miss Wang invited you to the conference site, we also need to let you prove your strength to us. Why don't we choose them but you?"
It's so lively.
Alice sat obediently in the table, watching the show and competing with these peers.
Intel boss questioned Oracle's potential?
Wow, the world's second largest software provider in the future will be the world's second largest software provider since 2o13, this is the rich man who is worth 40 billion US dollars, are you questioning him?
If you have any problems, students can solve them by themselves after class, and the teacher will still have to attend classes.
"Ahem!" So Alice interrupted Ellison's self-provement that was about to be spoken: "Don't we already have Intel in the hardware field? With you and Cisco in it, we certainly don't need to make repetitive acquisitions or cooperation. It's just an image workstation, and our focus is on the database itself. In this way, Oracle, which focuses on the software field, happens to be the best choice."
The boss spoke, and everyone immediately retreated. Anyway, Moore was just asking simply. For him, of course, it doesn't matter whether he has cooperated with the Sun System or Oracle. Since the young boss decided so, he should stop when he should stop.
"So this is the basic situation, as I announced at the just-inauguration ceremony." Alice sat in the seat, with her hands folded and her chin, looking down at the audience, "In order to enable our group to operate better, the establishment of Umbrella Capital Investment Company is naturally imperative. The shares I own in each company will be classified into this company by a certain amount, and at the same time, they will directly invest about 10% of the shares in Oracle. There must be a central point for so many companies with branches and branches, right?"
It sounds like a very rampant word, but this situation has not made anyone look angry at all. In five years, the act of participating in and acquiring shares and acquisitions everywhere has indeed actually built an emerging consortium, a net of interests that is completely centered around a certain focus. How could it be if the participants here did not think of this situation?
Sophie stayed silently, smiling at the corner of her mouth.
