The time is getting closer and closer to September, Luo Sheng completed the strategic layout of the cloud computing service of Bluestar Technology Group, and handed over the rest of the affairs to Zhang Bowen and others to deal with, and there was a little trouble in the middle but the problem was not big.

And Luo Sheng also focused his work on the Cote d'Azur company.

"You made me pay attention to the situation of Sun Microsystems early on, and the company has recently made a new move." Early this morning, Qin Weimu came to Luo Sheng's office on the Cote d'Azur.

Sun Microsystems is an IT company that Luo Sheng has been paying attention to, and it is also a North American high-tech company that he really wants to acquire, and this company is probably best known for the Java language.

Luo Sheng put down the work at hand and looked at Qin Weimu: "What move?" ”

"On May 28, according to foreign media reports, the online search giant Google is currently plotting to acquire Sun Microsystems, which is in a bad situation." Qin Weimu gave him a sorted out material.

Luo Sheng took it and opened it, and the material was mainly to collect some of the latest news in the industry.

Google is likely to turn to Sun for its continued growth, leveraging its hardware, storage, StarOffice, JAVA and Solaris product components for a robust and sustainable platform.

In Luo Sheng's previous life, Sun Microsystems was eventually acquired by Oracle for $7.4 billion, and Google, Oracle, and IBM were all vying for it, and Larry Ellison's Oracle finally won.

However, for Luo Sheng, he can only use the development trajectory of the previous life as a reference, and now the world has changed dramatically because of his appearance.

"It is possible that the rumors are true, and Google's current CEO, Eric Schmidt, was the best person to broker the deal with Sun Microsystems." Luo Sheng said in a deep voice to himself.

Google's market value has plummeted recently, but based on Sun's current market capitalization, Google doesn't actually have to pay a lot at all, and acquiring Sun is not a difficult thing.

However, the actual situation is not easy for Google, and the acquisition price is not a big problem for Google, and how to integrate the cultures of the two companies is the key issue.

If you refer to the previous life, Google did not complete this acquisition in the end, but now it is difficult to say.

"Paige, this bastard is really going to make trouble for me......" Luo Sheng put down the materials and documents in his hand and laughed to himself, but it can also be seen that Google is not a vegetarian, and Eric Schmidt is a little bit of a person.

It was not easy for Luo Sheng to acquire Sun, and he was not absolutely sure that he could do it, not because of the purchase price, but because of his identity as a Chinese.

If Google intervenes at this time, it will undoubtedly add another layer of variables.

Now the North American side is trying to thwart it, and it will be even harder to buy Sun, even if the company has grown from a market value of more than $200 billion at its peak to only about $18 billion.

Sun Microsystems is destined to be a company that has left a place in the IT world, and it took nearly two decades for the company to go from inception to prosperity, but it took only one year to collapse, one of the epitome of the tragedy of the dot-com bubble burst in 2000.

The reason for its failure is that the hardware culture that has always occupied the mainstream position has misled Sun's development, starting from the hardware to understand the market completely from the perspective of hardware manufacturers to emphasize high-end, low-volume, high-value, and deploy network computers.

When it comes to the features and functionality of software products, the trend of software dominating the market is something that doesn't matter in the face of sales metrics, partners, channel programs, and supply chains.

The really most valuable thing about Sun is the open Solaris system and classic JAVA, but it doesn't make good use of them.

Perhaps because the hardware and operating systems were so easy to sell at the time, Sun was only interested in selling these things to large and medium-sized enterprises to build a hardware empire. However, they ignore the fact that Microsoft and Intel are testing the market of small businesses and microcomputer users that are being eaten away by free and selling services, and are secretly waging guerrilla warfare.

Of course, Luo Sheng really wants to buy Sun, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, which is very beneficial to the future layout.

He didn't want to attack Sun at this time, because the price was still a bit large, and even if he wanted to acquire, he would have to complete the acquisition through the cross-shareholding of Bluestar Technology Group on the premise that the North American authorities would not obstruct it.

Sun is declining, and the current market value is also a technology company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, Luo Sheng is making an calculation is to wait for 2007 or 2008, when the financial turmoil swept over, and the opportunity at this time may be the greatest, but it is not easy to say.

Luo Sheng can't predict whether Google will take Sun, but he is very sure that Lao Mei will definitely not be able to run away from this wave of credit default in 2007, the detonators have been buried, and it is only a matter of time before it detonates.

When this storm hits, not only Sun's stock price will fall sharply, but Luo Sheng will also have enough cash in hand to see the harvest, and the foreshadowing has already been laid.

While he was thinking, Qin Weimu looked at him and reminded: "I am afraid that it is impossible to acquire Sun Company on the Cote d'Azur, firstly, there is no financial strength for the acquisition, and secondly, even if the financial situation is sufficient, the North American authorities may not be able to pass this hurdle, the Cote d'Azur does not have the support of Wall Street, and the acquisition is also Bluestar Technology, even if it is Bluestar Technology, it may not be possible." ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile: "Then Bluestar Technology has ambitions, how can you know if you don't try?" ”

If you look at the current market and environment, Qin Weimu is right, there is little hope for acquisition.

There is still an opportunity next year, and when the storm hits next year, Lao Mei has no time to take care of it, and in that kind of anxious time, the success rate is the largest.

If Sun would be sorry not to be able to buy Luo Sheng, but it would not be too entangled, then MySQL AB from Sweden is bound to win, and this company will spend a lot of effort, even through cross-shareholding.

Because it is very important for Bluestar Technology's data core, MySQL is a completely free and open source relational data management system.

Compared to other large databases such as Oracle's Oracle, MySQL has its drawbacks, but this does not diminish its popularity, for the average consumer and small and medium-sized business, MySQL provides more than enough features, and because it is open source software, it can greatly reduce the total cost of ownership.

Bluestar Technology could not afford expensive services like Oracle in the early stages of its business, and BlueSpace was running on MySQL, including now.

Facts have proved that MySQL is fully capable of supporting large-scale applications, including the current Google database, Bluestar Technology database, etc.

Especially in the Internet industry, 80% of the world's top 20 Internet companies are currently using MySQL databases.

At present, in the domestic Internet industry, it is difficult to find a few that are not supported by MySQL databases, only a few websites of Microsoft are not used, MySQL is undoubtedly leading in this field, and if the acquisition of this company now will not exceed 1 billion US dollars.

But for Luo Sheng, the biggest difficulty in acquiring MySQL is also not a matter of money.

If the problem that can be solved with money is really a small problem that is not worth mentioning, the problem is that the EU is also not so easy to pass, or because of the factor of the identity of the Chinese at the time, Europeans and Americans are actually very wary of the expansion of the Chinese in the field of science and technology, especially this kind of acquisition, not that you can get it if you have money.

Unless Luo Sheng changes his nationality, it will definitely be much easier, and many obstacles will disappear.

But there is no doubt that there is no option to change nationality here in Luo Sheng.

Whether it is the acquisition of Sun in North America or MySQL AB in Sweden, it is not an urgent need for Luo Sheng to deal with at the moment.

He needed time, he needed timing, he needed opportunity, he needed to wait until the storm that swept the world came, and then he could make further plans.
