Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On November 5th, the Oracle headquarters in the United States was holding a regular meeting. John from the marketing department looked good and reported to everyone, "The company's enterprise software sales in October increased by 5%, and the global share of the database increased. 1%."

Although the data has not improved much, it is indeed enough to make John and the entire Oracle feel at ease, because since the launch of the E-Business Suite by Science and Technology Network in 2000, Oracle's business has been declining, and the market share of the database has reached 2 years. The time has decreased by 6.6%, the database business has dropped by 10%, and the business volume of the entire company has dropped by 16%. For this reason, Oracle's top management has changed from a regular meeting in the past quarter to a regular meeting in January.

It was not until October 2002 that Oracle finally managed to stop the decline, but the real rebound had to wait for the release of Oracle 10G in September 2003. As for the consolidation of its position, it had to wait for Oracle 11G in 2007.

But in this life, things might be a little different.

After John finished reporting the data, Ellison, the legendary boss of Oracle and the richest man with the most magical playboy in Silicon Valley, calmly called out a data report, "What is the business situation of Neon here? The market share of enterprise business systems 25% down? Why?"

"This is because a company has appeared." John hurriedly flipped the PPT to the content he had prepared, "This company is called Dafeng Group, and this is the analysis report we made."

The more Ellison looked at the frown, "Games, social networking, semiconductors, business software, the most innovative Chinese companies, how has the game market been in the past two years?"

"The annual market growth rate is above 15%, and the consumption growth rate exceeds 20%." John responded.

"This is the company that won Yamato you mentioned last time, right?" Ellison turned his head to look at Herman with a dark face beside him.

"Yes."

"Has your evaluation of them changed now?"

"No, the innovation ability is really good." Some facts Herman had to discuss the matter, "But the foundation is too poor, we can get back the market of Neon Country soon."

However, although Ellison had never had direct contact with Meng Qian, he took Dafeng Group more seriously than Herman, "If necessary, go and say hello to our partners. There are only commercial software, which is easy to suppress. "

Ellison said this calmly but with a murderous look in his eyes. He later said that his life motto is that it is not enough for us to win, we must beat everyone else to count.

This was said by Genghis Khan. Judging from Ellison's behavior in his life, he is indeed a person who likes to destroy everything and kill everything. He seems to enjoy the feeling of killing in the mall.

"I don't think it's worth using our relationship with our allies for such a small company." Herman gave his opinion.

Hearing what Herman said, Ellison was still thinking about it. During this silent gap, John interjected, "Speaking of Dafeng Group, there is one more thing. The China Telecom Group raised doubts about our database. I hope we can conduct a pressure test with simulated data first."

"Huaxia?" Ellison made a puzzled expression, "Huaxia's telecommunications group, didn't you say that Oracle can basically monopolize Huaxia? Microsoft killed the carbine?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Microsoft." John pointed to the screen, "It is said that Dafeng Group has developed Huaxia's own database."

Ellison and Herman frowned at the same time.

"Is there any information about the database of Gale Group?" Ellison asked.

"No." John shook his head, "If the news is correct, this should be their database debut."

"You didn't even hold a press conference?"

"No."

Ellison began to think about it again. At this time, Herman took the initiative to ask Ying Ying to say, "Since Huaxia Telecom Group has opened its mouth, we always have to cooperate. I have been to Huaxia in the past few years, and the market potential there is still very large. , this time, I will go in person."

Looking up at Herman for a few seconds, Ellison did not refuse, "Alright, it's safest for you to take care of technical matters, John, find a competent subordinate to go to China with Herman."

"Why don't I go in person too." John suggested after hesitating for a while, "The sudden appearance of such a company in Huaxia has to make people feel a little strange. I think we may need to touch the Huaxia market again."

Ellison nodded in agreement, and said nothing more at the scene, but after the meeting was over, Ellison called John into his office alone.

"John, before you go to Huaxia, you should go to IBM, HP and other companies to lay the groundwork, but remember, don't take the initiative to mention Dafeng Group in front of them, just tell them that we are going to Huaxia to negotiate a few big deals. Cooperate according to the old rules, if there is any accident, it is enough for the people there to make a statement."

John was actually a bit surprised, "Is this Dafeng Group really worth our attention?"

"One success may be accidental, and two successes may be luck, but more than three successes, there must be a reason that can be explained. When you go to China this time, in addition to understanding the market in China, you should also investigate this big wind. Group, I want to know the reasons for the success of this enterprise.

In addition, confirm whether there is a possibility of acquisition. "

"I see, so you don't need to talk to Herman about these things, right?"

"He's too proud, just let him do his own thing."

"yes."

On Monday, November 11th, there was no Double Eleven in a year. Meng Qian arrived at the headquarters of the Telecom Group in Yanjing on time at ten o'clock in the morning.

This is the third time Meng Qian came to China Telecom Group. The second time was two days ago. When he came to do the simulated data test, the data pressure test proposed by Meng Qian referred to the full link pressure test to a certain extent, but This is a customized business solution for other companies. Naturally, it is impossible to fully use the method of full-link pressure measurement, but it is possible to perform pressure measurement on general modules.

As for the full-link pressure measurement, you can find out more detailed information by searching the Ali full-link pressure measurement. Simply put, it is to simulate possible scenarios to conduct global pressure measurement, so as to ensure that it will not appear when it is actually used. question.

Of course, that's easy to say, but not so simple to implement.

For the data pressure measurement proposed by Meng Qian this time, the Telecom Group generously provided the data, and under Meng Qian's proposal, the simulation environment was continuously limited.

After two days and two nights of testing, the test data came out last night. Today I came to listen to Telecom’s choice. I took the elevator upstairs, and as soon as the elevator door opened, I saw Herman who just came up on the elevator. and others.

"Mr. Herman, we really met again." Meng Qian took the initiative to go up to say hello.

"Mr. Meng." Herman shook hands and nodded, then turned his face away, always looking superior.

After all, this is the third time we have dealt with each other, and Meng Qian is already used to it. Instead, John who was at the side walked over enthusiastically, "You are Mr. Meng Qian, right? Hello."

"Hello, you are?"

"I'm John, Marketing Director at Oracle."

"It turned out to be Mr. John, a well-known market psychology instructor." Meng Qian saw the other party's enthusiasm, so he also acted enthusiastically.

"Mr. Meng actually knows me?"

"Mr. John's name, why don't people in our industry know about it? They say that the Chinese market, and even the entire Eastern market, can be covered by Oracle. Thanks to Mr. John's market strategy tailored to local conditions, IBM and Microsoft have been removed from our Eastern market. squeezed out of the market."

John made an overrated expression, "Market policy is one aspect, but the key is the product itself."

"It's reasonable to say that products should be the foundation of business competition, so it is more meaningful to make products well than to use any means."

The corners of John's eyes moved slightly, and he kept smiling. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Hui walked out of the office quickly, "Why are you all outside, come in quickly."

Under Xu Hui's guidance, Meng Qian entered the door first, and Herman, who followed behind, whispered in John's ear with some displeasure, "What's the hot thing between you and him?"

John smiled and didn't speak. After Herman followed into the door, his smile gradually turned cold when he looked at Herman's back, "He's really a technical idiot. I haven't seen this Chinese man after fighting with Meng Qian twice. Such obvious traits."
