Chapter 432 Cooperative Oracle
The next day, Liu Zhiyuan came to Oracle again. Today is the final day to finalize the contract. If everything goes well, he should be able to sign and officially start the cooperation between the two parties.
Today's main opponents are the Legal Department of the Han Dynasty and the Legal Department of Oracle. After a series of fierce confrontations, all the details of the contract were finalized.
"Liu, thank you for trusting Oracle, you will not be disappointed."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and shook hands with Ellison, but his smile soon froze.
"By the way, Liu, when will the $500 million arrive? I can arrange people here to help the Han Dynasty build a database. This is a big project. The sooner the money arrives, the sooner it will be completed."
The contract says "pay off in three years" in big words. Can Ellison not see it? How many companies paid off the $500 million cooperation at once?
"The spirit of the contract! Ellison."
"Just kidding, I abide by the contract the most, and I hope you do too."
"Don't worry, I said you won't use ORACLE's database technology to make a profit. Isn't it very profitable?"
Ellison smiled bitterly.
"Well, it is indeed not as profitable as the game industry. You don't have to keep repeating it. I can see it."
How much is ORACLE's database technology worth? Well, it's quite valuable, but compared to the benefits brought by those data, it's really worthless.
Ellison, who has never seen the big data era with his own eyes, simply does not understand the value of these data.
Once the world officially enters the Internet era, whoever masters this data will have the key to the throne of the Internet King.
"Those who get data win the world." The most valuable thing in the Internet era is this data. There are so many things that can be done with this data.
Even in the Internet era, many companies have secretly transformed, especially those companies that have large access to user data, such as various recruitment websites.
Originally, their main business was to provide a platform for enterprises and users to communicate and understand each other, but the benefits brought by these businesses were far less than selling users' data.
Can’t you see how fiercely those big companies are fighting for this data? None of these digital technologies, such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, can do without this data.
"I must obtain a satisfactory result within two years of developing hardware equipment."
"Understood, don't worry, I will summon Oracle's most elite R&D personnel to develop it."
This is another cooperation. The ORACLE database is very powerful, but this is software. The database of the Han Dynasty will be very large, and will even become the world's largest personal enterprise database in the future.
Software alone is not enough, you also need the most advanced hardware, but just listen to Oracle's hardware technology at this time, which is not at the same level as IBM.
It was impossible for IBM to sell his technology. This was the foundation of his life. IBM was still the king of the computer industry at this time. It was not that easy for the Han Dynasty to cooperate with them.
"EMC and Weibo will also join this development team, as well as a large number of interns. I have invested 200 million US dollars and so many developers. Larry, if there are still problems with the database of the Han Dynasty, then I will consider changing to another partner.
Partners."
"EMC also joined the Han Dynasty?"
Did this person understand the key point of this sentence? Liu Zhiyuan has never seen this kind of corporate leader. His focus is not on the same channel as normal people.
"Yes, 150 million US dollars, you should be able to see this news recently."
Weibao joined this hardware data equipment group to learn and see if there is any experience that can be used for optical disk storage.
EMC is the main force sent by the Han Dynasty. The price of US$150 million is already US$100 million higher than EMC's market value. But there is no way. EMC is a listed company. If you want to take back all the shares, you have to spend money. This
At that time, EMC had just entered the server storage industry.
Its explosive period has not yet come, and Liu Zhiyuan cannot just watch. Even in 2020, EMC is still the world's top server storage company.
The cooperation with Oracle will not last long, because the Han Dynasty and it will become direct competitors in the Internet era.
You must have your own development team, otherwise you will be strangled by others. ORACLE will not be used for profit, but databases developed based on ORACLE do not have this restriction.
If Alibaba can independently develop the world's top database in later generations, the Han Dynasty will certainly be able to do the same, as long as it is willing to spend money.
"It seems that President Liu's ambition is not small."
Ellison's frivolity disappeared instantly, and he looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a serious expression.
"With software and hardware, if the Han Dynasty were to enter the storage market, it would probably cause great turmoil."
He regretted a little bit and regretted cooperating with the Han Dynasty. If he had known that EMC had also joined the Han Dynasty, he would definitely reconsider the cooperation with the Han Dynasty.
Based on the Han Dynasty's profits in the gaming industry and Liu Zhiyuan's emphasis on storage technology, the Han Dynasty's technology in this area will probably reach the top echelon in the world at an alarming speed.
"Is it very profitable?"
"Haha, if I don't make money, can I regret it?"
Ellison suddenly returned to his previous careless behavior.
Liu Zhiyuan replied with a smile on his face.
"The liquidated damages of 5 billion US dollars, if I pay it now, I will tear up the contract."
None of the leaders of such world-class companies are fools, and Liu Zhiyuan doesn't expect to be able to keep it a secret from them. He just wants a fair competition environment.
"Be careful. Oracle also needs this technology. The Qian Han Dynasty came out, and so did the Ren Han Dynasty. I just want a database that is foolproof for the Han Dynasty."
Although he and Oracle will definitely fall out in the future, for now, he still has to count on Oracle to work hard in this regard.
"If I want to join your industry, I will not cooperate with Oracle at all, do you understand? Although EMC has just begun to develop hardware storage servers, its technology is already stronger than Oracle's."
As he said himself, he really has no idea of entering this industry now, and he has no plans to enter before the big data era comes.
The cooperation with Oracle is to ensure that the database of the Han Dynasty is foolproof. This database is so important. It is a booster for how fast the Han Dynasty can go.
Of course, the duration of this cooperation depends on the research and development progress of the Han Dynasty. When one day he feels that there is no benefit in cooperating with Oracle, he will go it alone.
It's hard to say about software, but in terms of hardware, it won't take long. EMC is very talented in this area, plus some of the Soviet Union's technology.
I am afraid that within a few years, the Han Dynasty's technology in server storage equipment will become the strongest in the world, on the same level as IBM.
"Oracle is also a beneficiary, understand? Ellison, don't think too much about it."
"Of course, I understand very well. Don't worry, I will send the strongest R&D team."
