Therefore, the direct topic of our meeting today is how to build an information age. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info throughout the world, the top computer companies are here with us, so compared to those ordinary small companies, this responsibility is not borne by us, what else?"

After talking and laughing, the topic returned to the focus: "That's right, friends, with the popularization of computers more and more widespread, with the further development of the construction of the Internet, according to the current rate, it can be easily calculated that in less than 20 years, ninety percent of the world's wealth will be stored in a large number of servers, instead of those bulky and ancient libraries." ”

These words are deeply recognized by everyone, especially Gates, who nodded most seriously, and Alice saw it in her eyes and smiled in her heart. After all, "The Road to the Future", the "twenty years later" he envisioned when he was in the nineties, is really only more exaggerated, not not exaggerated.

Of course, as the author of Moore's Law, how could Gordon Moore disagree with Alice's statement?

In addition, the word information age was suddenly proposed by Alice, but it also made everyone's eyes shine. If you think about it, the U.S. information superhighway plan was only proposed by the Senate in 1992, although his actions must have been based on the will of the Silicon Valley tycoon, but after all, it was only 1989, wasn't it?

"So for today's meeting, I've invited Mr. Ellison from Oracle. ”

Raising her hand respectfully to the man on the left, Alice then smiled: "After all, our industries are all interrelated, all kinds of computer operating systems, CPU at the core of computer hardware, routers and switches for Internet hardware, etc., although these major industries constitute the information age, but undoubtedly lack one of the most critical elements......"

"Honor, my database. With that said, it's time for Larry Ellison to speak. Unlike the rest of the room, he had come from San Francisco to attend the internal meeting after receiving Alice's e-mail, and wanted to prove that his role in the "internal meeting" could not be achieved by the presiding officer alone.

So, he got up and said, "It's an honor to be able to participate in this conference, Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Corporation, Intel Corporation, you are all amazing Silicon Valley glory, and you are all inextricably linked to our Miss Alice-Wang. I was able to receive her invitation to come to this high-end conference that brought together almost 40% of the essence of Silicon Valley...... Hehe, I think it's time for my company to take off further?"

With that, he didn't forget to nod his head at Gordon Moore.

At the conference table, everyone in the Silicon Valley circle suddenly burst into a "you know" laugh.

Isn't that the case, if Cisco is equal to Alice's single-handedness, then Microsoft can really be said to be completely dependent on her, and the rise and prosperity has been achieved. As for Intel, don't look at Alice's only proposed an algorithm to optimize the CPU after becoming a shareholder, but in the face of AMD's desperate pursuit, any product performance improvement that does not increase the cost at all will bring infinite advantages to the company.

It's really admirable to think about it, when it's the turn to participate in the operation of the enterprise, the boss in front of everyone actually doesn't play a role at all. But it's this middle school student who rarely appears in public in the company and the industry, and throws out one or two technologies at random, all of which are good babies who can scare people to death.

It's not that you can't live without her, but if you really don't have her, everyone can basically stop eating - such a strange situation.

"When it comes to the information age proposed by Alice, we can conceive such a model. After a pause, Ellison continued: "PCs and enterprise computers in thousands of households are the leaves of a big tree, and their popularity depends on the products of hardware vendors led by Intel. Then, the final end is directly facing the user, supported by Microsoft's operating system, and Cisco's Internet hardware is responsible for supporting the construction of the branches, delivering the fundamental source of information to thousands of households. ”

As he spoke, he spread his hands and said, "No, so everyone also found out, the source of information." After all, the so-called information age is fundamentally about the amount of information people can obtain, not on the strength of computer and Internet hardware. No matter how prosperous the branches and leaves are, if there is no support from the roots and trunks, it can only be a castle in the air. ”

The people around him nodded, and Gates touched his chin silently, just like his good buddy Allen, just figuring out everything. Larry Ellison, who is a Seattle native, is not familiar with him, but seeing that this father-level middle-aged man is so compatible with Alice, it is obvious that they have already had all kinds of "hookups".

God knows, of course, this can't be early, and for such an important meeting, how could it be completely unventilated in advance, and directly invite pure strangers by email. Ellison's explanation is simple and easy to understand, and it highlights his own importance, and everyone has to admit that databases are indeed significant in the construction of the "information age".

"At the moment, there are still quite a few database companies in Silicon Valley. ”

Gordon Moore spoke, and the oldest senior opened his mouth, and even the middle-aged uncle had to immediately become impotent, and sat down obediently.

"Sun Computer Systems went public three years ago. He said, "Presumably, Mr. and Mrs. Bossak have more say in this, right?"

It is no secret to many that the attention was immediately turned to the other two co-founders of Cisco, the founder of Solar Systems, Andy Becktoson, who was a graduate student at Stanford.

"Genius founded company. Bossak spoke, and when he said this, he certainly gave a special look at the chief Alice: "When Andy was still studying, he designed a small graphics computer called the Graphics Workstation. The 'three millions' are a million operations per second, one million bytes of memory, and a million pixels of graphics. He used a Motorola 68000 processor and a memory manager chip that was advanced at the time to support virtual memory ......"

"Graphics workstations?" said one of the two directors of A&A, John Warnock's eyes lit up, "Is it the one that we are using at Abode and Autodesk......?" He designed that thing when he was in college?"

"Yes, yes, that's it, it looks like you're his customers too. "According to Andy Becktor's design, the graphics workstation is a general term for a high-end specialized computer that specializes in graphics, still motion graphics, and video work. Your company that makes image editing software will buy their computers, and it's normal, it's very normal!"

There was a whistle at the scene, and I saw it, which is a clear proof that in a booming industry, insiders can really be regarded as interconnected!

"In short, their strength is very strong. Posack continued: "The company was founded in '82, the early workstations used Motorola's CPUs, and in '85, they developed their own SPARC reduced instruction set processors, which improved the performance of workstations a lot, and I believe Mr. Moore should know this very well." ”

Gordon Moore nodded repeatedly, how is the reduction of the instruction set, the complete need to improve the production process, and the performance of the final product can be increased by leaps and bounds, how is this different from the benefits that Alice provides to Intel?

"So, Solar Systems is also a very powerful company, and it also happens to be in the server field, although they are more professionally oriented. Moore picked up Bossak's words and said to Larry Ellison, "But there is no doubt that this company is a strong competitor to Oracle, and the other party is a comprehensive development of hardware and software, while Oracle is focused on the software field." So Mr. Ellison, although Miss Wang invited you to the meeting, we also need you to prove your strength to us. Why don't we choose them and choose you?"

It's so lively.

Alice sat obediently and skillfully at the head, watching the drama as she watched the fight of her peers.

Intel CEO questions Oracle's growth potential?

Hey, the world's second largest software supplier in the future since 2013, this is a billionaire worth more than $40 billion, eh, you question him?

If there are any problems, students can solve them by themselves after class, and the teacher still has to attend class.

"Ahem!" So, Alice interrupted Ellison's self-certification, which was about to speak: "In the hardware field, don't we already have Intel? With you and Cisco, of course we don't need to make repeated acquisitions or partnerships." It's just an image workstation, and our focus is on the database itself. In this way, Oracle, which focuses on the software field, happens to be the best choice. ”

The boss spoke, and everyone immediately retreated, anyway, Moore was just asking. For him, of course, it doesn't matter whether he cooperates with the solar system or Oracle, since the little boss has decided so, he should also close his mouth when he should stop it.

"So that's basically it, as I announced at the inauguration just now. Alice sat at the head, folded her hands and supported her chin, looking down at the audience and said: "In order to make our group operate better, the establishment of Ambrera Capital Investment Company is naturally imperative." My stake in each company will be transferred to the company in equal proportions, and at the same time I will inject about 10% of the shares directly into Oracle. With so many branches, there must be a central point, right?"

It sounded like a rampant word, but when it came out in this situation, it didn't make anyone look angry at all. In the past five years, the behavior of equity participation and acquisition everywhere has indeed built a new consortium, a nest of interests that completely revolves around a certain focus. How is it possible to say that the participants here did not think of such a situation?

Sophie remained silent, smiling at the corners of her mouth.
