If you want to say what is the most valuable thing in the 21st century, many people may say high-tech, while Luo Sheng will say big data.

Data is the most commercially valuable thing of this century.

MySQL is extremely useful to Luo Sheng, first of all, it can make Oracle uncomfortable, due to the high cost of the Oracle database and the suppression of piracy by mainland Chinese law.

Yes, that's right, it's the suppression of piracy, and here it's not connivance, it's suppression.

Don't look at Microsoft's ignorance of individual users using pirated Windows systems, but if any company dares to use pirated versions, Microsoft will send a lawyer's letter in minutes, and that company will have to pay obediently.

The income of enterprise-level users is much higher than that of individuals, and Microsoft actually still makes a lot of money in China.

And the cost of suppressing personal piracy is high, thankless, if the fee will create competitors out of thin air, Microsoft is not so stupid, user habits are very terrible things, now individual users even if they buy Apple computers but because they are used to it, they will earn windows, which gives Microsoft's operating system an unparalleled hegemony, no one can shake it at all.

Even Luo Sheng can't do it, because user habits have made the windows system invincible, and if he wants to break Microsoft's hegemony in the PC era, he can only reduce the dimensionality of mobile Internet and smart phones, so that the PC market continues to shrink and indirectly kill Microsoft's operating system.

No one uses computers anymore, or fewer and fewer people use them, PCs have become a sunset industry, and Microsoft's hegemony has of course disappeared, which is fundamentally erased.

Luo Sheng insists on using the strategy of "dimensionality reduction strike", through mobile Internet, smart phones and smart wearable devices in the future 5G era, only "dimensionality reduction strike" can kill windows.

The high cost of Oracle's database and the crackdown on piracy by law have led to more and more small and medium-sized enterprises using open source and free MySQL, even if MySQL will rely on value-added services to charge a certain amount of technical support fees, but it is cost-effective for most enterprises, and MySQL is enough to support their applications.

Without MySQL, Bluestar Technology may not have been born so smoothly, and the initial data operating costs may have doubled and soared.

Oracle must be uncomfortable without MySQL, because the small and medium-sized enterprise market is extremely large, and this market is firmly occupied by MySQL, and this market has been the target of Oracle for a long time.

From a business point of view, Luo Sheng's idea is similar to Ahri's idea of supporting small and medium-sized enterprises.

From a technical point of view, MySQL and Bluestar Technology Group's big data have the technical commonality of BDB kernel, and Bluestar Technology can currently use MySQL as a market booster, rather than a competitor.

Strategically, the maintenance research and development of MySQL is still retained, and even completely free of charge for small and medium-sized enterprises, so as to achieve a smooth transfer with Bluestar Technology in the development interface, retain the market with completely free MySQL, and gradually realize the follow-up services of Bluestar Technology Group.

Another implicit benefit is that Luo Sheng provides another database platform for deep learning for the artificial intelligence Nov he created.

……

On Friday morning, on the streets of Yangcheng Lake, pedestrians, including some college students from nearby schools, paused to watch a morning jogging procession, and there were many discussions, and some college students even looked at a young man in the team with papers.

Among the morning running team, Luo Sheng was the leader, and the others were personal bodyguards in civilian clothes, following him all the way to the morning run.

Luo Sheng spends about an hour every day doing various forms of exercise, sometimes in the gym, but it is not from the company or he bought it privately, but from the company's lease.

At present, the headquarters of the "Mobius Ring" of Bluestar Technology Group and the "Galaxy City" headquarters of the Cote d'Azur are in full swing, and Luo Sheng's enterprise-level private super mansion "Science and Technology Complex Building" covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters is also under construction.

Although he started the latest, his private home was built the fastest and is expected to be ready for use by the end of the first half of this year.

Whether it is his private residence or the new headquarters of the two companies, they are located on the shore of Yangcheng Lake, and it has deservedly become the latest and most technological and iconic landmark building in Sioux City.

It is no exaggeration to say that the leaders of Suzhou City have regarded Luo Sheng as the rhythm of the "God of Wealth", just kidding, Luo Sheng's company almost supports more than one-third of the financial tax revenue of the entire Suzhou City, and the proportion of the increase is greater than the overall fiscal tax of Suzhou City.

Luo Sheng actually doesn't like to exercise indoors, he still likes this kind of broad feeling, but now as a celebrity, as soon as he goes out, he is like a giant panda in a zoo and is frantically watched by the melon-eating crowd.

is famous, and it is extremely prestigious, it is inevitable to sacrifice some freedom and things that must be changed, such as going out for a morning run, Luo Sheng can't fix the time, place and other factors, because if it is too fixed, it will be easy for people to understand and control the rules of life.

Although this is a country, the accompanying personal bodyguards often do not have to deal with sudden dangerous situations, more to open the road and the like, but this is also essential, safety is very important, Luo Sheng's identity as a scientist in the previous life, there are light and dark bodyguards with him when he travels.

Otherwise, with his current popularity and influence, if he throws out a morning run without any disguise, he will be surrounded by fans or media reporters every minute, and there is even a certain probability of being kidnapped.

It's so famous and annoying......

However, Luo Sheng has not felt the slightest inappropriateness in this situation since he became famous in this world, because he has been used to it in his previous life, and he is the object of key protection when he travels, but he was famous as a scientist in the previous life, and he is famous as an entrepreneur in this life, at least so far.

"Mr. Luo, your phone!"

At this moment, one of the bodyguards who was running with him took the phone and accelerated the pace of running to catch up with Luo Sheng, and after he stopped, the others also stopped and waited on the side.

Luo Sheng took the phone, it was an Azure mobile phone, and he put it next to his ear with his thumb over the answer button.

"Mr. Luo, two good news, IBM has negotiated, the North American data center has been successfully landed, and they are willing to help our group company to acquire MySQL, and contain Oracle and Google, as well as prevent Sun from acquiring MySQL."

On the other end of the line was Zhang Bowen.

Luo Sheng sat down on a marble chair on the side of the road and commanded: "Yes, but IBM's support on MySQL is just icing on the cake, far from being a charcoal in the snow, on the contrary, it is necessary to guard against it, they can't be fully trusted, and they mainly rely on themselves to win MySQL, and now in this environment, the eurozone may be worse than North America, and if necessary, you can open the way with money." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng thought about adding an explanation: "What I said about opening the way with money is not bribing the Swedes, but using large-scale funds to invest in Europe in exchange, this matter will be handled by Yao Jianhong on the side of the Cote d'Azur, and you can help the relevant departments in charge of Bluestar Technology." ”

Zhang Bowen: "Understood! ”

The acquisition of MySQL company, Luo Sheng does not plan to let Bluestar Technology Group take action, but the brother company Cote d'Azur to execute.

Today is the fourth day of negotiations with the person in charge of IBM, and the focus of the negotiation is really not MySQL, this Luo Sheng does not want to rely on IBM to play a key role in it, it is a fool to think so, and it is impossible to make Bluestar Technology Group to such a huge scale today and firmly control it in his own hands.

The focus of this negotiation with IBM is the fact that cloud computing services for data centers have landed in North America.

It took nearly a year to two years since the mediation war began in 2006, and the dust finally settled in 2008.

The expansion of overseas markets is really not easy, just because Luo Sheng's surname is "Hua" and not "Europe" or "America".

If it weren't for the concentration of many factors and a series of chemical reactions, the access permit to the North American market may not be able to enter after another two years, and Luo Sheng knows better that the longer the time is delayed, the more difficult it will be.

So far, all 9 large-scale data centers built by Bluestar Technology Group in overseas regions have been implemented, including five in North America, 1 in Northern Virginia, 1 in Seattle, 2 in the Bay Area of California, and 1 in Oregon.

Doesn't Lao Mei always say that data is safe?

It's not enough to build the data in your home now.

Of course, Luo Sheng does not expect the United States to end its difficulties with Bluestar Technology Group, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and getting the access permit is an unprecedented victory, which means that the expansion of the data center in the future will not be as troublesome as it is today.

As the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, Lao Mei has put Luo Sheng into their house now, and it will be difficult to drive him out again in the future, and it is meaningless to play the routine of dismembering the French Alstom.

Unless it is a robber to plunder by force, but this is impossible, unless the Americans are crazy and destroy a country's credit system, Alstom also left his own pigtails before being played to death by the Americans.

The next 10 years will be a decade of decline in the United States' national strength, while China's national strength will be a decade of rapid rise, and a decade of great changes in the world unseen in a century.

Even if the Americans want to play hooligans at that time, they will have to weigh it.

To put it simply, the wings of labor and management are really hard!
