Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 369 New Environment

On January 15th, the IBM headquarters was very lively. In addition to 162 software and hardware manufacturers, representatives of individual developers, representatives of the open source community, representatives of consumers, and representatives of the media added up to thousands of people.

The first thing IBM did was to demonstrate a more open development environment, a multi-vendor development environment with new interfaces, protocols, and standards.

In this environment, developers can more easily perform multi-platform conversion, better obtain development support, better manage the development process, and more easily conduct development exchanges, and there will be more comprehensive development protection .

Developers will no longer be squeezed by Microsoft as in the past, nor will they look at Microsoft's face everywhere as in the past.

From development tools to development languages to databases to systems, the materials are more open source, the operation is more convenient, and the learning is easier.

After the presentation, IBM officially announced today's focus on the spot. In order to provide a better development environment for global developers, a new global supplier organization, the Open Software Environment union, was established. The core members of the alliance Including: IBM, Novell, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and Gale Group and other companies.

OSEU is led by IBM and will also be chaired by IBM for the first term. Novell, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and Gale Group will serve as the standing committee members. Among them, IBM will invest 1.5 billion yuan, and Novell, HP, Sun Microsystems and Gale Group will each invest 500 million yuan rice yuan,

It is enough for the money to arrive before the end of February. This is also a buffer time for the Dafeng Group. If the current Dafeng Group does not borrow money, it will not be able to get out 500 million yuan. Fortunately, the hematopoietic ability is still very strong.

As soon as the news came out, the market exploded instantly.

During this period of time, the system dispute between Dafeng Group and Microsoft was ultimately about the system product itself, but from this moment on, things have changed. The establishment of OSEU has begun to challenge interfaces, protocols, and standards.

The development of the matter has completely entered a new stage, and on this issue, the Gale Group is not fighting alone.

When the public sees the OSEU list, they all understand it. Except for HP, which is a bit ignorant, Novell, Sun Microsystems, and Gale Group, which one is not Microsoft’s deadly enemy, and Novell has invested in the Linux camp since 2003. Gale Group is now with The Linux camp is an absolute alliance. Sun Microsystems was almost killed by Microsoft in 2004.

As for IBM, the whole world knows that his cell processor project is aimed at Intel.

After the IBM event, many software and hardware manufacturers around the world began to express their goodwill one after another, because a more open environment would be much friendlier to everyone. Everyone has seen enough of Microsoft’s face over the years, and OSEU There is a strong support program.

The most important thing is that the establishment of OSEU has given confidence to many software and hardware manufacturers, because this lineup is really strong, because the investment is really huge, and this confidence has also turned into pressure. If you ignore OSEU at this time , if Wei is really put down by them, will he still be able to hang out in the future? Will he be retaliated in the future?

When IBM went to talk to these manufacturers before, everyone was very entangled. They were afraid of offending each other. Now that things have become like this, let's talk about it first on the OSEU ship.

Because Dafeng Group is fighting with Microsoft, most people are actually not optimistic about Dafeng Group. How many people can believe that Dafeng Group is more capable than Microsoft.

But what if OSEU fights with Microsoft? Things are completely different.

Netizens are even more excited, and they are discussing this matter on the Internet in the United States.

"Witness history, this is definitely the first world war in the tech world."

"I used to think that the monopoly of Microsoft and Intel was invincible, but now I suddenly feel that maybe this time they will really be pulled down."

"To be honest, I really think that IBM may win. The monopoly of Intel and Microsoft has long caused public grievances. One is the master who hinders the speed of technological development, and the other is the master who suppresses technological innovation. The word-of-mouth of these two products is about to lose. It's over."

"Although I don't know who will win and who will lose, competition should be a good thing for consumers. The Kunlun system is already free. I just want to know when the price of the processor will drop?"

On Huaxia's side, netizens' comments are more local.

"Fuck!"

"Nest grass?"

"My Cao!?"

But in Yanjing at this time, a conference room was full of people.

"Americans are working on standards in the technology industry, and they never take our Chinese companies to play. Even if our company finally squeezes in, it has no right to speak. Now Dafeng Group can be one of the standing committee members of OSEU, which is very good. An inspiring thing."

"It seems that encouraging the development of private enterprises in the core technology field will really bring surprises to everyone."

"You, you like to blame private companies for everything, but the achievements of Dafeng Group are indeed worthy of praise, but I am wondering if it is possible for us to make Dafeng Group a suitable benchmark."

"I think it's better for us not to intervene too much in the development of private enterprises. Even if we have achieved good results, we'd better not take too many actions and give some support appropriately so that everyone can see it. Dafeng Group Whether it can serve as a good benchmark, in my opinion, depends on whether Dafeng Group itself has the intention.”

"Speaking of which, the issues between private enterprises and state-owned enterprises have been going on for more than ten years, and the problems of state-owned enterprises have been exposed in recent years. Why don't you take this opportunity to see if there is a better solution? Some phenomena have ruined our technological development."

"yes."

One day at the end of January, at Lenovo headquarters, Chen Shaopeng stood opposite Boss Liu with an anxious expression on his face, "Mr. Liu, almost all of our notebook orders for 2005 have been cancelled. Gale Group's computer!"

"I know." Boss Liu's face was dark, "I have received the news before you."

"This..." Chen Shaopeng's heart trembled, and he said unwillingly, "Even if we want to support the Dafeng Group, isn't it a little too unkind? At least we Lenovo didn't do anything wrong!"

"So they just ordered the Dafeng Group's notebook. If you really don't want to keep any sympathy, you can completely replace our desktop with the Dafeng Group's all-in-one machine." Boss Liu is still calmer than Chen Shaopeng, "But We also have to pick up the pace a little bit, otherwise we may not even have orders for desktops in a few years.

The big reason why Dafeng Group can get so much support now is the performance of Dafeng Group in international competition. Our country needs to go out now, and needs international influence and international competitiveness.

Those guys from Helgrid are also speeding up the pace of internationalization, and we can't be left behind. "

"I heard that when Huawei was acquired by a hostile takeover a few years ago, some people came forward to consider Huawei's international layout. If Huawei did not have a foreign market, we may not see him today."

"Call Yang Yuanqin in." Boss Liu's eyes became firm.

"yes."

After Yang Yuanqin came in, Boss Liu asked, "How much will IBM increase the price?"

"Their final offer was 2 billion yuan."

Boss Liu hardly hesitated, "As long as they can meet our conditions, we will pay the money."

Yang Yuanqin suddenly lowered his head, "It's no longer necessary."

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang Yuanqin sighed deeply, "I just received the news that IBM sold its computer division to Dafeng Group."

Boss Liu stared wide-eyed, "How much did Dafeng Group spend?"

"One billion yuan."

Boss Liu, "???"

Why does it feel like Dafeng Group didn't do anything, and Lenovo is going to be wiped out.
