Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On February 8, Meng Qian went to Sun Microelectronics with Samuel. According to the latest data, Sun Microelectronics will now work for one more month to guarantee a loss of 100 million meters, and the debt is about to reach 3 billion meters, except for selling. There is indeed no other way.

Both IBM and Dafeng Group are old allies, and the acquisition is still going well overall, that is, a little embarrassment appears when everyone sits together to discuss the details. The person in charge of several core projects at Sun Micro hopes that they will be caught by the wind. The group acquisition made Samuel somewhat uncomfortable.

Because Sun Micro is a well-known R&D-led enterprise, but IBM is a well-known marketing-led enterprise at this time, so these R&D-born executives all hope that they can enter the Dafeng Group, which is also dominated by R&D, and are afraid to go. After joining IBM, their R&D purity and R&D 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, IBM mainly acquired Sun Micro's system and hardware business, Dafeng Group invested 3.2 billion meters, and IBM invested 43 meters, totaling 75. Yimiyuan jointly acquired Sun Micro.

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

As for whether this transaction has been blocked, it is necessary. Too many products are now based on Java. Once Dafeng Group obtains Java, many companies will still feel uneasy even if they open source.

On February 10th, the chaos was cut quickly. In order not to give Microsoft, Google and other companies more room for lobbying, IBM and Dafeng Group took advantage of the current state of approval by the government and quickly finalized the matter to avoid future troubles.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out of the U.S. market, there was scolding, and some media even used the evaluation of shame and shame, thinking that allowing China to buy JAVA was suicidal and would greatly restrict the development of U.S. software.

Due to the pressure of public opinion, some official personnel involved in this transaction had to come forward to explain, but everyone’s reason was basically around the fact that JAVA is open source, so it did not have any comforting effect, because the critics think that JAVA is just The language itself is open sourced. Dafeng Group can completely restrict American companies through business licenses, interface standards and other issues. In the past, Microsoft directly compensated Sun Micro by 2.5 billion meters for not buying 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 the development of smart phones. Application development.

However, some things have a symbolic meaning. No matter how you explain it, the market will feel very ashamed of this transaction. JAVA was acquired by China Enterprise, and some people just didn't feel happy.

But this is how many interests are intertwined, and the result will always make many people uncomfortable. Facing the reaction of the United States, Meng Qian understands, but accept it.

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, and Apple’s mobile phone applications. Inseparable from JAVA, Meng Qian doesn't do anything but everyone feels like a 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 will like this gift." Eric came over to see Meng Qian with the gift, and met as a friend.

The gift was a custom-made watch. Meng Qian expressed his gratitude, "I have Mr. Lloyd. This time I am in a hurry in the United States and I have not visited. I hope Mr. Eric will not be offended."

Eric made a nonchalant gesture, "Mr. Meng is polite. It is not easy for Dafeng Group to successfully acquire JAVA. Congratulations to Mr. Meng."

"Is there any congratulations?" Meng Qian deliberately complained, "Actually, I originally wanted to acquire Sun Micro, but the resistance was too great. In the end, I spent 3 billion to get a JAVA that could not make money. This I intend to use the money as charity."

"Sun Micro's JAVA still has a profit point, but the management of Sun Micro 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 service, but anyone can do this. If our input cost is too high, there will be no price advantage."

Eric took the opportunity to ask, "Then what is President Meng's specific plan to acquire JAVA this time?"

"Mr. Eric, I am going to open source the JAVA platform more thoroughly."

"Further open source? JAVASE? Why is this Mr. Meng?" Spending 3 billion meters to further open source, so that more people can use JAVA for free? Erik obviously couldn't believe this.

"Because we have done an evaluation, it is really too difficult to tap into the commercial potential of JAVA. It is better to be more simple and stop spending too much money on this thing." Meng Qian replied, but Meng Qian's heart is true. The answer is:

Because the free is 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 compliment Meng Qian's selflessness, and since Eric took the initiative to come to the door, there is something Meng Qian just tried to test, "Android should also have a lot of improvements this year?"

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

"Our future direction is different. To be precise, I have never felt that Hongmeng and Android are competitors, and Apple is our competitor, but it may be difficult for this competitor to give us any excitement."

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

"What does Mr. Meng mean?"

"I have been thinking recently, can Android and Hongmeng processors develop a cooperative ecosystem?"

Eric was embarrassed for a few seconds, and Meng Qian deliberately clicked when he saw it, "It seems that someone is ahead of me."

Eric slowly put away his embarrassment, "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 an 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 do one-third of it now. I believe that the bulk of the smartphone market sales in the future must belong to the low-end and mid-range machines. The cost of the processor 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, baseband chip, baseband chip is difficult to say, simple but not simple, because you want to do a good job of baseband chip, you must have a wealth of communication technology experience.

The reason why Qualcomm can do a good job of baseband chips ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is because of its strong communication technology precipitation.

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

Otherwise, I wouldn't make baseband chips at all, because companies without the precipitation of communication technology are dreaming of making top-notch baseband chips.

So can Intel's baseband chips do a good job? Even if it has the world’s best chip design capabilities, it’s useless. Qualcomm can’t help him. Motorola is outdated. Nortel can’t protect itself. European telecommunications companies will never join Intel’s camp. Therefore, they enter a new field. Many things are not necessarily true, just like I never thought that Microsoft's mobile phone system can do so well. "

Meng Qian’s words caused Eric to think deeply and made Google give up Astro Boy and choose Hongmeng. Meng Qian did not expect that. But when the opponent’s alliance was just established, Google hesitated and hesitated. Meng Qian is happy to do this.

On the other hand, the Vientiane system will cooperate with Hongmeng processor without reservation.
