Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 366 Subprime Crisis? No, It’S A Subprime Mortgage Opportunity!

Lu Yi is quite concerned about Gu Ge’s acquisition of Sun Micro.

Although the sun is fading slightly now, it was once glorious after all.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but Sun Microsystems still has a place in the Internet world.

The most valuable thing about Sun Micro is the open solaris system and Java, but unfortunately Sun Micro itself did not make good use of these software. Instead, it focused on the hardware. As a result, the brilliant Sun Micro fell short in just one year. It collapsed and became a microcosm of the Internet bubble era in 2000.

In fact, Lu Yi really wants to acquire Taiyang Wei, which will be very beneficial to the company's layout.

But he also understood that this was almost impossible.

Nowadays, there are many difficulties in setting up a data center in North America, let alone the acquisition of a high-tech company. Even if the company has declined, North America will never let Future Group acquire it.

Lu Yi still hopes that Gu Ge’s acquisition will not succeed, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis.

At that time, even if North America is unwilling, Ying 22 will probably let it go.

Of course.

It depends on whether God gives you a chance.

At this time.

Another piece of news popped up on the computer.

The content is that a domestic company was dissatisfied that Jiaguwen had to charge an additional 22% service fee every year, so it refused to pay it. Then Jiaguwen didn't get used to it, and without saying a word, it started to cut off the power supply, which made this company The company suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this news, Lu Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Just now he was thinking about Jiaguwen's database, but a news item about Jiaguwen's power cuts immediately popped up.

Jiaguwen entered Longguo in 1989 and has been working in Longguo for 17 years now. It is the first world software giant to enter China.

Since 2002, Jiaguwen has successively established R&D centers in Pengcheng, Shanghai, Zhongdu and other places, with the number of employees reaching 1,600.

The main domestic customer segments are in the fields of finance, telecommunications, energy, government and other fields, mainly large enterprises.

Because of its own technology, Jiaguwen's attitude in the Longguo market can be described as very tough.

Such as service fee policy.

Jiaguwen's sales practice in the global market is that after customers purchase the product, they must pay a 22% service fee every year to provide software system maintenance and upgrades.

However, the Longguo market is not mature, and customers are very confused about paying service fees.

Jiaguwen has a very tough attitude towards this. If there is a problem, it will immediately "turn off the power and cut off the power", but it will not care about the loss caused to customers. Who told you to use my database?

Even in his previous life in 2008, Jia Guwen was still in tug-of-war negotiations with China Connect, trying to punish China Connect and make China Connect pay a one-time service fee of 60 million yuan.

This shows that Jiaguwen is arrogant in the Longguo market.

It is precisely because of this that Ahri later took the lead in shouting "Go to IOE (the standard configuration of Jiaguwen is a minicomputer produced by IBM and storage hardware produced by EMC, which together is what people often call IOE)" and gave up Jiagu Text, using open source MySQL.

Finally, in 2013, the last minicomputer went offline, Jiaguwen was completely eliminated from Taobao's core system, and all Taobao Sweet Cat's databases were replaced from Oracle to independent open source AliSQL.

Under the leadership of Ali, more and more domestic companies began to climb over the mountain of databases, sounding the death horn of Jiaguwen in the Longguo market.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi directly asked his assistant Du Yu to notify Lu Qi and others for a meeting.

meeting room.

Lu Qi and other high-level officials arrived.

Lu Yi walked in and said, "Everyone, I suddenly asked you for a meeting, which wasted your precious time."

"To make a long story short, this meeting is all about setting up a database department and developing our own database system."

"In the field of databases, Jiaguwen's database system is undoubtedly the first in the world. I don't know how many companies at home and abroad use Jiaguwen's database, even our Future Group."

"However, what can be seen is that Jiaguwen's database has almost no competitors in the domestic market. It can be said to be in a monopoly position. As a result, Jiaguwen, Party B who provides products and services, is more competitive than Party A who spends money to buy products and services. Party A's attitude is even higher, as if Party A is begging Jiaguwen to provide them with database services."

"Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not an exaggeration, because there is indeed no database in China that can match Jiaguwen. There is no opponent. It is not surprising that Jiaguwen has an arrogant attitude."

"This also allows us to see a bloody fact, that is, without your own skills, even if you are Party A, you can only be a grandson.

"Databases are very important for large Internet companies like us. We must build our own database walls to prevent Jiaguwen from stumbling upon us and finding any reason to delete the database. Then we will cry. .”

Regarding Lu Yi's suggestion to establish a database department [Lu Qi and others did not agree.

North America has begun to choke the Future Group, shattering all their illusions. They must be self-reliant, otherwise if they put a collar around their necks, they will be manipulated sooner or later.

According to Lu Yi's proposal, in the future the group's database will rely on the open source MySQL to build its own database, codenamed [WSQL].

MySQL is a completely free open source relational data management system developed by Ruidian MySQL-AB.

Compared with other large databases, such as Jiaguwen's Oracle, MySQL has its shortcomings, but this has not reduced the popularity of MySQL at all.

For individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises, the functions provided by MySQL are more than sufficient, and because it is open source, the cost can be greatly reduced.

If for Sun Micro, because of the North American authorities, Lu Yi063 can only look at this piece of fat and drool, then MySQL Lu Yi will take it into his pocket no matter what.

At least, the resistance is much smaller than that of the sun.

Of course, this is also relative.

Because Europe and America are not having an easy time either.

Europe and the United States are actually very wary of the Longguo people's expansion in the field of science and technology, especially when it comes to various high-tech acquisitions, which cannot be done with money.

But the subprime mortgage crisis from 2007 to 2008 provided Lu Yi with a good opportunity.

In order to pass on the crisis, North America would reach out to its ally Europe. At that time, the global economy was in a Great Depression, and countless companies closed down and went bankrupt.

By then.

In the future, the resistance of the group's proposed acquisition of MySQL will become very small, and the success rate will be greatly increased.

For the world, the subprime mortgage crisis is a tsunami-like financial crisis.

But for Lu Yi, a reborn person, the subprime mortgage crisis is not a crisis, but an opportunity, an opportunity to buy high-quality European and American assets at the bottom.

Of course.

Now we have to wait for time to ferment, it takes time, we need opportunities, we have to wait until the storm that sweeps the world comes, and then we take action.

Before that, he needed to make a series of preparations.

For example: money!

If I don’t have money, I can only watch when the time comes.

But obviously, money is not an issue for Lu Yi. .
