Chapter 169: Technology Flow (7)

The most famous state in Livonia is Hollywood in Los Angeles. Everyone knows that the house is Sacramento. The logo that can remind people of this place name is the Sacramento Kings, the NBA's strong team.
Oracle is located in Redwood City, the only deep-water port south of San Francisco in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is a small town with only 8 residents. The city ’s most impressive are two companies, EA ’s headquarters and a Blizzard studio, but the latter will be withdrawn at the end of the year
It's near the beach and has a pleasant climate, but Huang Xuan's only thing I remember is the description on the family's small stove: 2 seats in the Senate, 53 seats in the House of Representatives, 55 electoral votes, and the latter two are America's first. This means that California is the most important week of American politics.
Huang Xuan was sitting in a Lincoln car, watching the energy screen recalling what his mother had instilled, and listening to Oracle employees stuttering Chinese to explain the history of Redwood City and Oracle. Software companies such as Oracle will have a project team for Japan and a research team for the China project team. The number of Asian employees is second only to Hispanics, but the performance of this man in front of him cannot be complimented.
Yu Liye's English is not very good, but Gan Lizheng beside him is a turtle, disdain to listen to this kind of chewing gum Chinese, and asked Huang Xuandao with a head tilted: "Mr. Huang, what is your purpose this time?"
Huang Xuan's unpredictable smile shook his head without mentioning it. Gan Lizheng pouted, he didn't quite believe that the two cryptographic algorithms produced by Huang Xuan were done by him, but no similar algorithms have appeared on the market. He is also very curious about coming to Oracle this time.
The one who came to the reception was Oracle's marketing director Mark Jarvis. He was wearing a gray suit with a black lapel thin sweater. The nearly 60-year-old Californian has a high cheekbones. There are two deep eye sockets. If you see it at night, you will be shocked. He is quite enthusiastic. He just admitted the wrong person and mistakenly thought that Yu Liye was the chairman of Hexin Industry in the invitation letter of Citi.
Of course, according to age, Yu Liye was in his prime, and it really fits the saying of the rich man. But he smiled and introduced Huang Xuandao: "This is the chairman of Hexin Industry. Mr. Huang Xuan."
In a short sentence, the translation is also very accurate. Mark immediately patted his head embarrassingly and apologized: "I didn't expect Mr. Huang to be so young, really young."
Huang Xuan shook hands with him unconsciously and said in English: "Most people think so."
Random greetings, Mark apparently thought Huang Xuan wanted to buy their database system. Therefore, we focus on introducing the latest version of their database 10G. It is the only company in the world that can implement global e-commerce solutions for customer relationship management-operation applications-platform facilities. Mr. Huang's business is spread across Brazil and China. I believe that the use of Oracle solutions will definitely save you a lot of office costs. "
Huang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, I also have a database system in hand. If I can, I want to compare the two systems."
"OK." Mark didn't expect it to be so easy, and he ordered his hands to prepare. One side said: "The whole world believes that Oracle is the best database management company in the world."
"IBM and Microsoft also intend to march >>.
"They haven't become the climate yet," Markton said next. "Just this year, we have acquired PeopleSoft and Xibe Software, which greatly strengthened Oracle's strength in enterprise software and customer relationship software. It is very polite to say that if IBM also uses our solution to drop 10% "
Reducing costs has always been Oracle's fame. In the classic case of Harvard, Oracle's $ 1 billion reduction plan is listed.
Huang Xuan has already done his homework on the plane. While watching dozens of professionals busy preparing for booting, he smiled secretly. The software in his hand came from IBM: Viper several years later. Databases contain hierarchical databases and relational database information system platforms. Although now, the application of hierarchical databases is far less extensive than relational data. But it represents the future development direction: pureXML (pure XML, Extensible Markup Language) technology.
Although HTML currently used on the Internet is very good at layout and appearance, it lacks the ability to express content, which makes it difficult for Internet users to find useful information for themselves. To describe it concretely, HTML is good at human-computer interaction, but cannot well support the interaction between machines. We know that search engines use web spiders, that is, machines to collect website information, and each website's HTML design structure is different, and it includes many tags that look very similar. The biggest difference between XML and HTML is that you can customize tags. You can define tags in a form that fully expresses their ideas, so that web spiders can easily find the corresponding content and classify it. At the same time, based on the foundation, you can define multiple languages ​​including Chinese.
In the mouth of professionals, XML has extremely excellent genes, but because it is not compatible with relational databases (XML is hierarchical), using XML in existing database software is like applying a simulation machine. The performance is greatly affected.
Now, Oracle has realized the problem of XML, and is committed to developing an information platform that is compatible with hierarchical and relational databases, but when they make the finished product, it is already, and it is almost the first IBM.
Even Microsoft, in the era of the decline of Oracle's famous relational database, is eager to move.
Of course, Oracle may not need to come up with such an advanced database this year. After all, XM has not been popularized, and few companies have similar needs, but what Huang Xuan has on hand represents another thing: patents.
The U.S. Patent Office belongs to the Department of Commerce, and the government officials of the Department of Commerce are usually used by the ruling party and are now owned by the Republican Party. Officials are not affected by party replacement, and they cannot be dismissed if they have no reason). Therefore, after Huang Xuan expressed his Republican tendencies, he applied for temporary patents and was immediately given special affairs.
Senator Melvin even greeted the Ministry of Commerce through her assistant, because Huang Xuan assured her on the phone that there will be a lot of donations in the year-end elections-in the United States, both donations and donations can be collected The first priority of politicians' work.
Holding these patents. Huang Xuandu did not dare to imagine the expressions of Oracle gentlemen. The reason why DB29 is code-named Viper is exactly what IBM expects from it. After three years in advance, facing the Oracle company that has not prepared a stick, Viper can completely swallow them.
A guy who is said to be a senior engineer debugged the testing machine, walked over, wiped his hands, and nodded at Mark. Then to Huang Xuandao: "Mr. Huang, you can give it a try, this is specially modified according to the situation in Brazil and China."
This is good for large companies. They have already designed models for hypothetical business objects, which can be used when needed. Huang Xuanmu said nothing, and Gan Lizheng was at the forefront, listening to the engineer.
Huang Xuan took out a compact disc from the inner pocket of his upper body suit,
Kodak: "Can Mr. Jarvis try this database?"
"OK." Although this kind of thing is not often encountered. Mark still handed the disc to the staff next to him, and asked casually, "Which company's product is this?"
"Xinye Company." Huang Xuan's answer made Yu Liye a little overwhelmed, but after looking at Huang Xuandi's eyes, he immediately lowered his head.
Mark is suspicious. As Yu Liye said, the cost of developing a database software will definitely make a small company die. On the other hand, the mainstream on the market is still a relational database. The main reason for IBM and Wei is that Oracle holds most of the patents.
Making database software at a great price with someone else's patent is definitely a big deal. Mark doesn't believe a 3 billionaire would be so stupid.
The two engineers debugged again, but they could not enter the background management of the software anyway, Huang Xuanshi Ran walked past. Type a string of passwords and then taste the coffee again. All the contents of this disk are encrypted using future algorithms, Huang Xuan called it No.3. As long as it does not enter the market to sell, the energy consumption caused by this algorithm will be very small.
The new interface gives Mark a sense of familiarity. In fact, when the software starts to run, Mark is already very familiar with this interface.
—
It's completely Oracle style, but Oracle doesn't have the same interface yet.
This made the Oracle employees present a little angry, and an engineer was very dissatisfied: "This is plagiarism."
"The patent law allows me to do this." Huang Xuan glanced back at him and said to Mark: "Seamless compatibility with hierarchical databases and relational databases. If necessary, the two parts can be disassembled and sold."
The familiar interface will be easier to sell. For example, if people are familiar with it and wps is easy to sell, they must learn more and learn from it. In this respect, the definition of the patent law is very weak.
"Well?" Mark is actually not very familiar with these technical problems, but the technicians next to him have already heard it clearly. The engineer with the highest position on the spot strengthened his eyes and said: "This is impossible, you are, This is naked plagiarism. "
"If you read the content, you won't say that." Huang Xuan said with confidence that this database system came from IBM, and the reason why IBM took so long to enter the database market is to circumvent Oracle. Of course, there may be one or two patents in the ranks that have not yet expired, but that is not the point. After the market determines the attribution, some lawyers can carry out such a protracted lawsuit until the patent expires.
The new database software has no other shortcomings except that it consumes a lot of resources. Mark whispered to the technician next to him, and soon his face became pale.
Larry Ellison, the founder and CEO of Oracle, said that tomorrow ’s speech is written on the table. He likes to bite the pen and think about it. Instead of biting the pen head, he bites the middle of the pen like a dog bites a bone This seems to allow him to find a balance.
He was writing, "If we don't work on this project, I would find it strange." Ellison bit his pen again and said to himself: "The word project may be a bit smaller ..."
His secretary knocked on the door slightly, and Ellison said impatiently, "I'm busy."
"I'm sorry, sir." The secretary did not leave, continuing: "Mr. Mark is in trouble, he said, it's a big trouble."
"He always exaggerates." Ellison didn't look up and crossed out the "item".
"Nusbaum also thinks this is a big trouble." Nussbaum is the vice president, he is familiar with the technical issues within the group.
Ellison finally put down the pen, sorted out his clothes, and got up to open the door: "If this is not a trouble that must let me go, I will unscrew their heads."
"As long as it's not mine." The secretary didn't know what was going on, and still made a joke.
...
Huang Xuan sat on the sofa with his legs up, and felt very kicking. He saw the people in the room with clear barriers. The technicians gathered and glared at Huang Xuan. Mark and others greeted Huang Xuan with the same look. Oracle's senior officials are professional managers. They struggle for the benefit of Oracle, but they will not work hard for Oracle. Who knows whether the young people in front of you will be your boss in an hour, they just need to do their own good Things will do.
Ellison hurriedly walked out of the special elevator, the shirt was turned around and his shoes were shiny.
At this time, it is already the next four. Many employees who leave early can see the voice of Ellison walking quickly on the road. Most people did not avoid it, but randomly guessed the company ’s largest shareholder. Where to go.
Nussbaum waited at the door, saw Ellison, and immediately opened the door. He whispered in his ear and whispered the matter just now, and said: "It is sure that the patent has been applied for."
Ellison nodded slightly and didn't walk into the room, but asked first, "What do you think?"
"More advanced than 10G." Nussbaum also shook his head with regret: "If it is Microsoft's new product, it is possible."
"Is it his?"
"The patent applied for the day before yesterday." Nussbaum said softly: "It really belongs to him."
"I understand." Ellison said, and walked into the room with a smile, looked around, it was easy to find Huang Xuan, smiled and said: "Hello Mr. Huang, don't neglect you."
"Coffee is delicious." Huang Xuan raised his cup.
"That's good." Ellison circled around as he talked about the database software.
Huang Xuan pretended to be inaccurate or incomprehensible when he walked around, and it was impossible for Eric to discuss professional issues. He thought he was just a good child to deal with, but he failed Thinking that the other party was also familiar with the negotiation table, it wasted more than ten minutes, and finally mentioned the software in Huang Xuan's hands, saying: "Database software developed by Mr. Huang himself?"
"Go ahead." Huang Xuan smiled. The database software is good or not, it is easy to understand. As for whether it is good or not, that is another matter.
Ellison Nunu said with a smile to the people around him: "Compared to Japanese things, it is indeed much better."
Several people laughed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Huang Xuan just smiled faintly, saying: "It's a few years ahead of Oracle's technology, I really don't appreciate it, but if Oracle is not interested, I will IBM has cooperated. "
Ellison is actually more afraid of IBM than Microsoft. The blue giants are giants from beginning to end. Unmatched behemoths, each time its reaction is slightly more agile, the market will shrink its share by 5%.
Ellison didn't know that Huang Xuan had seen through his hole cards long ago, and still wanted to steal the chicken: "OK, 30 million dollars, cash payment."
"If even the patent is calculated, it would be $ 2 billion, or cash plus equity
"Are you crazy?" Ellison could hardly believe that Huang Xuan would put forward such excessive conditions.
