Two Volvo luxury cars stopped in the rain, four people got out of the car, held up umbrellas, and walked to the entrance of the venue.

"Little Pony!"

An Ran was pleasantly surprised, he really didn't expect that Tencent's little brother would be the first to arrive.

Soon after, Xiao Ma stood opposite An Ran, and the middle-aged man who seemed to be a bodyguard put away his umbrella and looked around nervously.

Xingchen Technology has Shuangran, and there are Shuangma in the Chinese Internet industry, both of which are popular figures among the people, and it is even more interesting that Enron's style is like Ali's old horse, once he speaks, he speaks endlessly, and Li Moran and Brother Xiaoma are both stuffy gourds who don't like to talk, and even their personalities are quite similar.

"Where's Mr. Luo?" Brother Pony looked around, looking for Luo Jia's figure.

"Scroll through the forums in the background." An Ran muttered, "I'm worried that everyone won't dare to come because they are afraid of being sanctioned, but he said, I'm afraid of a bird, if we don't come, let's pretend to be Changshan Zhao Zilong and kill it single-handedly." ”

Hahaha~

Everyone laughed, and Brother Xiao Ma said: "Sure enough, if you have technology, you can do whatever you want, Mr. Luo is so arrogant, we can't compare." ”

An Ran said: "Boss Ma is too modest, who doesn't know that you have joined forces with Ali and Huawei to quietly fight another war, the world's largest database supplier Oracle, has been overwhelmed by you, I am afraid that in a few years, you will be able to end the database field, the situation of North American enterprises dominating." ”

Brother Xiao Ma waved his hand modestly, "Although some achievements have been made in the fight against Oracle, we can't be blindly optimistic, after all, Oracle is equivalent to Microsoft in the data field, and it is a giant that occupies an absolute dominant position, and then again, the biggest player in China is Ali, and we are still at least one position behind Ali Group. ”

Compared with the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes on Ali's old horse, Brother Xiaoma is much more modest and low-key.

At a time when people across the country are paying attention to Huawei and the trade war, several Internet giants have quietly done a big thing and made the world's largest database group.

In March and May 2019, Oracle Group carried out large-scale layoffs in a row, and overnight, the Huaxia R&D center basically became an empty shelf, almost all employees were fired, and there were even rumors that Oracle Group may soon withdraw from the Huaxia market.

This is really strange, Huaxia is the world's largest Internet market, Oracle is the world's largest database provider, according to reason, should be in the Huaxia market to do a lot of business, why suddenly stop playing?

The reason is simple.

Because of the birth of Huaxia's local database suppliers, the arrogant Oracle company has no room to survive, in other countries, Oracle companies are very profitable, but the Huaxia region is beaten all over the ground to find teeth, and at the end of the year, Nima and underwear are all lost!

Therefore, it is not that Oracle will not play, but that it cannot afford to play.

The development and progress of the Internet era has made the database more and more important, everyone shops online every day, chats with girlfriends with instant messengers, and completes homework assigned by teachers online, which will generate astronomical data, and the database is a tool for scientific management of all data.

Most ordinary consumers do not know that Oracle entered China as early as 1989, and in 1997, the Chinese authorities made a decision that is not smart today, and handed over the post and telecommunications system 97 project to Oracle to do.

Soon after, Huaxia e-commerce rose overnight, Oracle Company relied on its status in the rivers and lakes, and issued sky-high bills to Ali Group, Boss Ma pondered, this thing is not right, hand over the database to a group of foreigners to manage, not to mention, these grandsons are still fucking black money, can't bear it, fuck him!

However, if you want to get rid of Oracle in the data field, it is no less difficult than getting rid of Microsoft in the field of operating systems, since 2007, Ali Group began to replace Oracle's database on a large scale, but the last Oracle database server went offline, but it was already May 17, 2013, in order to get rid of Oracle, Ali Group took a full six years, which shows how difficult it is.

At present, there is a trend in Huaxia, but in any field, Huaxia has not achieved independent intellectual property rights, and has not realized domestic substitution, everyone will be filled with righteous indignation, accusing domestic companies of incompetence, and scolding relevant scientific research personnel for eating and waiting for death.

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

That is to say, there are enough Chinese people, smart enough, and they attach great importance to education, and they are diligent and willing to work, otherwise it is impossible for any country in the world to threaten the hegemony of science and technology in North America, because once science and technology are backward, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to catch up, not to mention that in the process of catching up, foreigners are also making progress.

Ali Group is already the most powerful enterprise in China, and it will take six years to engage in a database project, and it will take other small and medium-sized enterprises to change it, so don't even think about it.

Anyway, the matter of Oracle belongs to Ali to take the lead, and other giants follow suit as accomplices, as for killing Oracle, it is an impossible task, as long as you are enough, don't be slaughtered by others.

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

Since 2015, the database has been fully shifted to the cloud, which has created a great opportunity for Alibaba to turn around!

I have to say that there have always been opportunities, but they are always left to those who are prepared, Ali Group has been engaged in database research and development since 2007, and finally released a huge force, and if Ali did not grit his teeth to engage in this project, there would be no chance to overtake later.

Cloud data has started a new journey, and the Chinese enterprises that have been suppressed by Oracle for many years are all holding their breath, in the field of traditional databases, we have no way to take you, and in the era of cloud data, we will kill you!

So overnight, domestic companies staged a crazy reversal, and the once invincible Oracle company, because of the lack of enough attention to the cloud era, has since fallen into a thousand miles, collapsed, I am afraid that in the near future, Oracle will really become dry bones.

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

From sending people under the fence back then, to now the Jedi counterattack, the top six in China and the United States are equally divided in the world, and Huaxia, a group of Internet companies, has fought a beautiful turnaround.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to come." Luo Jia shook hands with Brother Xiao Ma and invited him to sit on the sofa, with Tencent's status in the rivers and lakes, he was naturally qualified to enter the VIP seat, and most of the remaining companies, due to the limited location, could only grieve them to go to the stands of the stadium.

"Who got me on your thief ship?" Brother Xiao Ma complained: "The starting point and station B were sold to you, and I listened to your foolishness, and plunged into the pit of semiconductors, and after I went in, I found out fuckingly, no wonder no company likes to engage in semiconductors, this thing is not just a pit, a pure pit!" ”

"SMIC's Tang Boyun is your old friend, and they actually offered us a 5-nanometer process tape-out at a price of $900 million, which is outrageous, right?"

Luo Jia was speechless, Tencent is a pure software and Internet company, with no hardware genes, and I don't understand how much money is burned by hardware, let alone that in the huge pit of hardware, 900 million US dollars is really not much.

Luo Jia was about to explain to Brother Xiaoma, when a hoarse voice suddenly came, "Nine hundred million dollars is okay, and our five-nanometer tape-out is also nine hundred million." ”

Looking at the voice, I saw that it was Mr. Ren, he didn't have an umbrella, and his suit was wet.

Everyone is an old friend, Mr. Ren is not polite, after sitting down, he took the towel handed by Luo Jia and wiped his face, and said to Brother Xiaoma, "Hardware has always been played like this, otherwise do you think where did our Huawei Group's hundreds of billions of R&D funds go every year?" ”

Luo Jia shrugged his shoulders, "Don't look at SMIC's nine hundred million from you, in fact, after a tape-out, not only will they not make money, but they will also lose a little bit, and according to our and SMIC's plan, the next step is to push a next-generation process below nanometers, and by that time, the cost of tape-out will at least triple." ”

Hearing this, Lian Ren couldn't calm down, "Ruthless, right?" The 7-nanometer tape-out is 400 million US dollars, and by 5 nanometers it will become 900 million, and your next-generation process will cost 3 billion? ”

"And this is a three-billion, inexperienced semiconductor team, rarely can be successfully taped out once, remember when we were developing the seven-nanometer Kirin 980, a total of three streams."

Luo Jia shrugged his shoulders, "The cost is there, and I can't do anything about it, just take our fifth-generation lithography machine as an example, using thousands of the best engineers, but the monthly output is only one, and our subsidiary Xingchen Optics has an engineering team of hundreds of people who specialize in assembling lenses, these are all costs." ”

"Semiconductors are so special, even if there is no Xingchen Technology in this world, the cost of tape-out will climb to 3 billion, or even 10 billion sooner or later, we are just making the progress ahead."

Brother Xiao Ma was already stupid at the moment, and Mr. Ren nodded slightly, Luo Jia was right, if any cat or dog can play, then it will not be the semiconductor industry, the threshold of this thing is so high that it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

After Ali's old horse came, Luo Jia congratulated the three of them, congratulating them on their achievements in the field of databases, Oracle's boss Erickson, has always had a strong anti-China tendency, and Luo Jia did not like him.

Of course, this is not a big deal, after all, among the white elites in the West, people who do not want to curb the development of China may not be able to find even one, anti-China is normal, and non-anti-China is a rare animal.

Luo Jia was very happy, despite the risk of being sanctioned, old friends still came, and this friendship must be noted down no matter what.

However, it didn't take long for Luo Jia to see An Ran walking in from outside with red eyes, trying to suppress his emotions.

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

"It's getting heavier and heavier." Enron replied.

"And then?" Luo Jia asked again.

An Ran sat down, wiped his face with his hand and said, "I really didn't expect it, you'd better go out and have a look by yourself." ”

Luo Jia was stunned, raised his legs and walked out, Mr. Ren was stunned for a moment, and then followed, the press conference had not yet started, and they were all drinking tea in the lounge at the moment.

Swish~

Out of the lounge, is the podium, the rain is really a lot heavier, but in this heavy rain, the surrounding stands, people come one after another, just an hour, there are tens of thousands of people, they sit quietly, take off the rain-soaked coat, hold in their arms, with handkerchiefs or tissues, wipe the water stains on their faces.

In an instant, Luo Jia suddenly had an 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.

"Oh my God..."Mr. Ren was shocked, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

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

Luo Jia was slightly stunned, then nodded, there were faint tears in her eyes, but her eyes became more and more resolute.

In the fifth year of the establishment of Xingchen Technology, on May 21, it rained heavily, and 14,637 invited companies, braved the torrential rain and risked being sanctioned by North America, gathered in the stadium of 80,000 people in Shanghai, and no one was absent.
