Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On February 8th, Meng Qian and Samuel went to Sun Micro. According to the latest data, now Sun Micro works for one more month to guarantee a minimum loss of 100 million yuan, and the debt will soon reach 3 billion. There is really no other way.

Both IBM and Dafeng Group are old allies, and the overall acquisition went smoothly, but there was a little embarrassment when everyone sat together to discuss the details. The acquisition by the group made Samuel somewhat uncomfortable.

Because Sun Micro is a well-known R\u0026D-led company, but IBM is a well-known marketing-led company at this time, so these executives who are born in R\u0026D hope that they can enter the Dafeng Group, which is also led by R\u0026D. After acquiring IBM, their R\u0026D purity and R\u0026D progress will be affected due to market reasons.

Fortunately, this small problem does not affect the overall situation. In the end, Dafeng Group mainly acquired Sun Micro's JAVA, and IBM mainly acquired Sun Micro's system and hardware business. Yimiyuan jointly acquired Sun Micro.

Although JAVA has the greatest influence, but JAVA is open source after all, so Dafeng Group pays less money.

As for whether this transaction has been blocked, that is a must. Too many products are now based on Java. Once Dafeng Group gets Java, even if it is open source, many companies still feel uneasy.

On February 10th, in order not to give Microsoft, Google and other companies more room for lobbying, IBM and Dafeng Group took advantage of the fact that the government review has passed, and quickly finalized the matter to avoid future troubles.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, there were criticisms in the U.S. market, and some media even used the evaluation of shame and shame, thinking that allowing Chinese companies to acquire JAVA was a suicide act, which would greatly limit the development of U.S. software.

Due to the pressure of public opinion, some officials involved in this transaction had to come forward to explain, but everyone's reasons basically revolved around the fact that JAVA is open source, so it did not play a consoling role, because the scolding people think that JAVA is just It’s nothing more than open-sourcing the language itself. Dafeng Group can completely restrict companies in the United States through issues such as enterprise commercial licenses and interface standards. Back then, Microsoft directly compensated Sun Micro for 2.5 billion yuan because it did not buy Sun Micro’s JAVA license.

For this reason, the relevant personnel also took out the video of the previous hearing to show everyone Meng Qian's promise, saying that Meng Qian promised to ensure a good competitive relationship. The acquisition of JAVA is to better promote the development of JAVA and promote smart phones. application development.

However, some things are symbolic. No matter how it is explained, the market will feel very ashamed of this transaction. Some people just feel unhappy that JAVA was acquired by Huaxia Enterprise.

But this is the case with many things where interests are intertwined, and the result will always make many people uncomfortable. Faced with the reaction from the US side, Meng Qian expressed his understanding, but let it go.

As for the real purpose of Meng Qian's acquisition of JAVA, no one knows now. For some companies, this is an invisible pressure. Google's Android, Microsoft's business software and desktop software, Apple's mobile phone applications, everyone Inseparable from JAVA, Meng Qian does nothing but everyone feels like a stick in the throat, very uncomfortable.

No, before Meng Qian left the United States, Eric, who thought he had a good relationship with Meng Qian, came to see Meng Qian off.

"Tomorrow is Mr. Meng's birthday. I hope Mr. Meng likes this gift." Eric came to see Meng Qian with a gift, and met him as a friend.

The gift was a custom-made watch, and Meng Qian expressed his gratitude, "Mr. Lauerik is here. I came to the United States in a hurry this time, and I haven't visited. I hope Mr. Eric will not be offended."

Eric made a nonchalant gesture, "Mr. Meng, you are polite. Dafeng Group's successful acquisition of JAVA is not easy. Congratulations to Mr. Meng."

"There is nothing to congratulate." Meng Qian deliberately complained, "Actually, I originally wanted to acquire Sun Micro, but there was too much resistance. In the end, I spent 3 billion to get a JAVA that didn't make any money. I plan to use the money for charity.”

"Sunmicro's JAVA is still profitable, but the management of Sunmicro lacks business acumen. I believe that JAVA will definitely exert its commercial value in the hands of Mr. Meng."

Meng Qian shook his head, "It's nothing more than making a fuss about services, but anyone can do this. If we invest too much, we won't have a price advantage."

Eric took advantage of the situation and asked, "So what is Mr. Meng's plan for acquiring JAVA this time?"

"To be honest with Mr. Eric, I plan to open source the JAVA platform more thoroughly."

"Further open source? JAVA SE? Why is this, Mr. Meng?" Eric obviously couldn't believe it.

"Because we have done an evaluation, it is really too difficult to tap the commercial potential of JAVA, so it is better to simply stop spending too much money on this thing." Meng Qian replied like this, but Meng Qian was sincere in his heart. The answer is:

Because the free ones are the most expensive, especially the pseudo-free things like open source.

Eric couldn't figure out Meng Qian for a while, so he had to praise Meng Qian for his selflessness. Since Eric came to the door on his own initiative, Meng Qian just wanted to test something, "Android should have improved a lot this year, right?"

"Well, but there is still a gap compared with the Hongmeng system." Eric is seeking truth from facts, "Speaking of which, Dafeng Group is still our biggest opponent."

"Our future direction is different. To be precise, I have never thought that Hongmeng and Android are competitors, and Apple is our competitor. However, this opponent may hardly bring us any excitement."

Eric smiled, and Meng Qian continued, "So I think we can cooperate with Android."

"What does Mr. Meng mean?"

"I've been thinking recently, can Android and Hongmeng processors form a cooperative ecology?"

Eric showed embarrassment for a few seconds, and Meng Qian deliberately pointed it out when he saw it, "It seems that someone is ahead of me."

Eric put away his embarrassment slowly, "What does Mr. Meng think of the Astro Boy processor?"

"If Mr. Eric is really willing to listen to my opinion, I can only give you one answer, the Astro Boy processor will definitely fail."

"Why is Mr. Meng so sure?"

"Everyone knows the cost of the Astro Boy processor. Our Hongmeng processor can even be one-third of it now. I believe that the majority of sales in the smartphone market in the future must belong to the low-end and mid-range phones. Astro Boy The cost of processors will become a concern for manufacturers."

"But the performance of the Astro Boy processor is guaranteed." Eric almost blurted out.

"Are you sure its performance is guaranteed?"

"It's Intel after all."

"But now we are facing mobile phone processors, does Intel really have an advantage?

Let me just talk about the most intuitive thing, the baseband chip, the baseband chip is difficult to say is simple or not, because if you want to make the baseband chip well, you must have rich experience in communication technology.

The reason why Qualcomm can do a good job in baseband chips is because it has a solid foundation in communication technology.

And our company dares to challenge the baseband chip because we have invited core technical talents from Huawei and ZTE to cooperate in research and development. It is Huawei and ZTE's technological accumulation that supports the development of our baseband chip.

Otherwise, I would not make baseband chips at all, because companies without communication technology precipitation want to make top-notch baseband chips are just dreaming.

So can Intel's baseband chip do a good job? Even if it has the best chip design ability in the world, it is useless. Qualcomm cannot help it. Motorola is outdated. Nortel itself cannot be guaranteed. European communication companies will never join the Intel camp. Therefore, entering a new field, Many things are not certain, just like I never think that Microsoft's mobile phone system can do so well. "

Meng Qian's words made Eric fall into deep thought, and made Google give up Astro Boy and choose Hongmeng. Meng Qian didn't expect so much, but made Google hesitate when the opponent's alliance was just established. Anyway, it was just a matter of talking. Meng Qian is very happy to do this.

On the other hand, the Vientiane system will unreservedly cooperate with the Hongmeng processor.
