Chapter 404 The heroes gather, rain or shine!

Two Volvo luxury cars stopped in the rain. Four people got out of the car, held up an umbrella, and walked towards the entrance of the venue. The man in the lead was slightly fat and wearing gold-framed glasses. After seeing An Ran, he waved to An Ran from afar.

"Brother Ma!"

An Ran was overwhelmed by surprise. He really didn't expect that Tencent's little brother Ma would arrive first.

Not long after, Brother Ma stood opposite Anran. The middle-aged man who seemed to be a bodyguard put away his umbrella and looked around with nervous eyes.

Xingchen Technology has two sides, and the Chinese Internet industry has two sides, and they are all storied figures that the people talk about. It is even more interesting. An Ran’s style is like Ali’s Lao Ma. Once he speaks, he talks endlessly. Li Moran and Xiao Ma are both dull and don’t like talking, and even their personalities are quite similar.

"Where is Mr. Luo?" Little Ma Ge looked around and looked for Luo Jia's figure.

"I'm browsing the forum in the background." An Ran muttered, "I'm worried that everyone will not dare to come because they are afraid of being sanctioned, but he said, "I'm afraid of a bird. If I don't come, we'll pretend to be Zhao Zilong in Changshan and kill him alone."

Hahaha~

Everyone laughed, and Brother Ma said, "It turns out that you can do whatever you want with the skills. Mr. Luo's heroic spirit is beyond our comparison."

An Ran said: "Boss Ma is too modest. Who doesn't know that you are joining forces with Alibaba and Huawei to quietly engage in another war. Oracle, the world's largest database supplier, has been beaten up by you. I'm afraid that in a few years, you will be able to end the database field and the North American companies dominate."

Brother Ma waved his hand modestly, "Although he has achieved some results in fighting Oracle, he cannot be blindly optimistic. After all, Oracle is equivalent to Microsoft in the data field, and is a giant that occupies an absolute dominant position. And then again, the largest player in China is Alibaba, and we are still at least one position behind Alibaba Group. In this database war, the main force is Alibaba, and we are at most accomplices."

Compared to the aura of the world in Ali Laoma, Xiao Ma is much more modest and low-key.

Just as the people across the country were paying attention to Huawei and the trade war, several Internet giants secretly did a big thing and created the world's largest database group.

In March and May 2019, Oracle Group carried out large-scale layoffs. Overnight, the Huaxia R&D Center basically became empty, and almost all of its employees were fired. There were even rumors that Oracle Group might soon withdraw from the Chinese market.

This is really strange. Huaxia is the world's largest Internet market, and Oracle is the world's largest database supplier. According to the principle, it should have done a big business in the Chinese market, so why did you suddenly stop playing?

The reason is very simple.

Because of the emergence of the local database supplier in China, the arrogant Oracle company has no room for survival. In other countries, Oracle companies are very profitable, but the Huaxia region is beaten to the ground and has to settle the score at the end of the year. Damn, all the underwear is lost!

So, it’s not that Oracle is no longer playing, but that it’s that it can’t afford it.

The development and progress of the Internet era have made databases more and more important. Everyone shops online every day, chats with their girlfriends with instant messaging tools, and completes homework assigned by the teacher online. These will produce astronomical data, and the database is a tool for scientific management of all data.

Most ordinary consumers do not know that Oracle Company entered China as early as 1989. In 1997, the Chinese authorities made a decision that seems not very clever today, and handed over the 97 project of the postal and telecommunications system to Oracle Company. At this point, Oracle Company's dominance in China was officially formed.

Not long after, China's e-commerce rose overnight. Oracle Company relied on its status in the world to issue sky-high bills to Alibaba Group. Boss Ma thought, this was wrong, and handed over the database to a group of foreigners to manage. If it was not safe, these grandsons would still fuck him and break money to death. They can't bear it, so they fuck him!

However, it is no less difficult to get rid of Oracle in the data field than Microsoft in the operating system field. Since 2007, Alibaba Group has begun to replace Oracle's database on a large scale. However, the last Oracle database server was offline on May 17, 2013. In order to get rid of Oracle, Alibaba Group took a full six years, which shows how difficult it is.

At present, there is a trend in China. In any field, China has not yet realized independent intellectual property rights and has not realized domestic substitution, everyone will be indignant, accusing domestic companies of being incompetent, and scolding relevant scientific researchers for being slaughtered and waiting to die.

However, everyone has not thought about this problem carefully. If scientific research is easy to do, there will be no scientific research hegemony in the world.

That is, there are enough Chinese people, smart enough, attach great importance to education, and are hardworking and willing to work hard. Otherwise, no country in the world will threaten North America's technological hegemony, because once technology is behind, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to catch up. Moreover, in the process of catching up, foreigners are also making progress.

Alibaba Group is already the most awesome company in China. It will take six years to build a database project. If it is replaced by other small and medium-sized enterprises, it doesn’t even think about it.

Anyway, the oracle bone script is led by Alibaba, and other giants have followed suit and become accomplices. As for killing oracle bone script, it is an impossible task. As long as you are enough, don’t be killed by others as a sucker.

However, no one expected that overnight, the wind direction suddenly changed and the era of cloud service suddenly came.

Since 2015, the database has been fully shifted to the cloud, creating an excellent opportunity for Alibaba and the others to turn the tables!

I have to say that there are always opportunities, but they are always left to those who are prepared. The database research and development that Alibaba Group has started in 2007 has finally released huge power. If Alibaba had not gritted its teeth and carried out this project, there would have been no chance of overtaking later.

Cloud Data has embarked on a new journey. Chinese companies that have been suppressed by Oracle for many years are all holding their breath. In the traditional database field, we have no choice but to deal with you. In the era of cloud data, we will kill you!

So overnight, domestic companies staged a crazy reversal, and the once arrogant Oracle Company, lacking enough attention to the cloud era, has since fallen into a huge army and is in a state of failure. In the near future, Oracle will really become a dry bone.

Today's global cloud data hegemony is dominated by three Chinese companies, Alibaba, Huawei, Tencent and three North American companies, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

From being under someone's back then to being counterattacked by the Jedi, China and the United States have equally divided the world, China and the Internet companies have made a beautiful turnaround.

"I didn't expect that it was the first one to come." Luo Jia shook hands with Xiao Ma Ge and asked him to sit on the sofa. With Tencent's status as a martial arts world, he was naturally qualified to enter the VIP seat. Most of the remaining companies, due to their limited location, could only let them go to the stands in the stadium.

"Who told me to get on your pirate ship?" Xiao Ma complained: "Qidian and B station were sold to you. After hearing your tricks, I got into the pit of semiconductors. After I got in, I found out that no wonder no companies like to do semiconductors. This thing is more than just a pit, it's a pure huge pit!"

"Tang Boyun of SMIC is your old friend. They actually offered us a five-nanometer process filming for us at a price of 900 million US dollars at a time. Isn't this too outrageous?"

Luo Jia was speechless. Tencent is a pure software and Internet company. It has no hardware genes and does not understand how much money hardware is. It doesn’t even know that in the huge pit of hardware, nine hundred million US dollars is really not a big deal.

Luo Jia was about to explain to Brother Ma, and a hoarse voice suddenly came, "Ninety-nine million US dollars, our five-nanometer flow is also 900 million."

Looking at the sound, I saw that it was Mr. Ren. He had no umbrella and his suit was wet.

Everyone is old friends, and Mr. Ren is not polite. After sitting down, he took the towel handed over by Luo Jia and wiped his face, and said to Brother Ma, "This is how hardware has always been played, otherwise where do you think our Huawei Group has hundreds of billions of R&D funds a year?"

Luo Jia shrugged, "Don't think that SMIC has paid you 900 million yuan, in fact, after one run, they will not only not make money, but will also pay a little. Moreover, according to our and SMIC's plans, the next step is to launch a next-generation process below nanometers. By then, the cost of run-through will be at least tripled."

After hearing this, Re-Entertain could not calm down, "Isn't it so cruel? Seven-nanometer flowing is 400 million US dollars, and by five nanometers, it will become 900 million. And your next generation process actually costs 3 billion?"

"And this is 3 billion at a time. Inexperienced semiconductor teams rarely succeed in the filming. I remember when we were developing the Seven-nanometer Kirin 980, we had three filmings."

Luo Jia shrugged, "The cost is there, and I can't do anything about it. Take our fifth-generation lithography machine as an example. It used thousands of the best engineers, but only one monthly output was one. Our subsidiary Xingchen Optics has an engineering team of hundreds of people, specializing in assembling lenses. These are all costs."

"Semiconductors are really special. Even if we don't have our Star Technology in this world, the cost of filming will sooner or later rise to 3 billion, or even 10 billion. We are just getting the progress ahead."

Brother Ma was already stunned at this moment, and Mr. Ren nodded slightly. Luo Jia said it right. If any cat or dog can play, it would not be the semiconductor industry. The threshold for this thing is so high that it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

After Ali's old horse came, Luo Jia congratulated them to the three families and congratulated them on their achievements in the database field. Oracle's boss Eriksson has always had a strong anti-China tendency, and Luo Jia does not like him.

Of course, this is no big deal. After all, among the white elites in the West, people who do not want to curb the development of China may not even be found. It is normal to anti-China, and a rare animal is not anti-China.

Luo Jia was very happy that despite the risk of being sanctioned, the old friends came and remembered this friendship no matter what.

However, not long after, Luo Jia saw An Ran’s eyes red, walking in from outside, trying to suppress her emotions.

"What's going on?" Luo Jia asked.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier." An Ran asked irresponsibly.

"What then?" Luo Jia asked again.

Anran sat down, wiped her face with her hands and said, "I really didn't expect that you'd better go out and have a look."

Luo Jia was stunned, raised her legs and walked out. Mr. Ren and the others were stunned for a moment, and then followed him. The press conference had not yet begun, and they were all drinking tea in the lounge.

Swish ~

After leaving the lounge, the podium was the podium. Hugo was indeed much heavier. However, in the heavy rain, there were figures rising one after another in the stands around. In just one hour, tens of thousands of people came. They sat quietly, took off their coats wet by the rain, hugged them in their arms, and wiped the water stains on their faces with handkerchiefs or tissues.

In an instant, Luo Jia suddenly had the urge to burst into tears. You must know that everyone present today, tomorrow, the company they belong to will be on the North American blacklist and become the target of sanctions and suppression. What kind of trust does it make them come from all directions regardless of the wind and rain and danger.

"My God..." Mr. Ren's whole body was shocked, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

After a few minutes, he came to his senses, patted Luo Jia's shoulder heavily, and said earnestly: "Do it well, after all, they are taking all their lives on you."

Luo Jia was slightly stunned, then nodded, with tears faintly in her eyes, but her eyes became more and more determined.
