Chapter 196 System Piracy Rampant



Zhao Ye continued, "Blade servers are like 'blades,' and each 'blade' is actually a system motherboard."

“They can boot their own operating systems via onboard hard drives, similar to independent servers. In this mode, each motherboard runs its own system, serving a different user group, and they are not connected to each other.”

"However, administrators can use system software to combine these motherboards into a server cluster. In cluster mode, all motherboards can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment and share resources to serve the same user group. Inserting new 'blades' into the cluster can improve overall performance."

"And because each 'blade' is hot-swappable, the system can be easily replaced, minimizing maintenance time."

Zhao Ye then introduced the advantages of blade servers to everyone, such as significantly reducing operating and management costs; possessing high processing power density, saving valuable space and footprint costs; low power consumption, reducing electricity bills, etc.

People couldn't help but realize that blade servers are very suitable for use in large data centers or fields that require large-scale computing, such as banking, telecommunications, finance, and internet data centers!

Once the blade server data center is built, it can not only be used by the company itself, but also provide services to external clients, with broad profit prospects.

There is a large international market for servers, and some large companies or telecommunications and financial institutions will try to build their own server centers.

If Wujiang Group develops a blade server, it will definitely be very popular.

However, Wujiang Group is currently still using IBM's database.

This is very bad.

Currently, Wujiang Group is preparing to establish four data centers in China, which naturally requires the development of its own database software. Moreover, database software is of great importance to enterprises, and its market potential is enormous.

In its previous life, Oracle Corporation had a market value of over 300 billion US dollars thanks to its database software.

The future intelligent cloud business will be a major source of profit growth.

Today, IBM's database software almost monopolizes the domestic market, and only Wujiang Group has the ability to break this situation.

While Zhao Ye was ordering the development of blade servers, he also decided to develop the Wujiang database and named it "Fuxi".

Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns and the legendary progenitor of humankind, is considered the ancestor of Chinese civilization.

Fuxi looked up at the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning in the sky, and looked down at the birds and beasts on the ground. Based on the principle of yin and yang changes in the universe, he created the Eight Trigrams, which are eight simple yet profound symbols to summarize all things in the universe.

Nuwa created humans, and Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams, thus explaining all things in the world.

Combining all of this, wouldn't that be creating AI?

Zhao Ye selected a group of people from within the company to form the "Fuxi Database" development department, which was personally led by Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye is determined to break IBM's monopoly in China's database market.

The main problem for Wujiang Group is that its HarmonyOS operating system is not selling well in the United States, but its other electronic components are still selling very well.

Wujiang SSD has become the standard hard drive for major computer manufacturers.

CD-ROM drives and USB ports have also become standard features in computers.

Since Hasee and HarmonyOS withdrew from the United States, the American computer industry has been severely damaged, mainly because local American consumers are not buying it; they are unwilling to purchase computers without HarmonyOS.

The computer I bought can't run games like Counter-Strike, Diablo, and StarCraft.

So, what incentive would they have to buy expensive computers?

Instead, pirated copies of the HarmonyOS operating system suddenly proliferated in the United States.

In its previous life, Microsoft tacitly approved the development of pirated Windows systems in China, and even encouraged it behind the scenes.

Wujiang Group could do the same.

Wujiang Group did not sue over piracy, but instead chose to support it by default.

HarmonyOS is so outstanding, and its support for classic games from Wujiang Group has made it a sensation across the United States.

If you can't buy the original, buy a pirated copy.

Where there is trade, there will be people willing to take risks.

In some American universities, you can often see a suspicious-looking person approaching nearby students and asking, "Hey bro, wanna get a disc? HarmonyOS operating system disc, originally $299, now selling for $30!"

People who don't know the situation might think they're selling Japanese adult films.

Many computer manufacturers in the United States are skirting the rules by not installing the HarmonyOS operating system on their computers, but privately telling users that they can find pirated versions of HarmonyOS themselves.

Goodness, this explains why HarmonyOS has gained a larger market share in the US, almost infuriating companies like Microsoft and Apple.

Microsoft, in particular, is already feeling somewhat desperate. If pirated copies of the HarmonyOS operating system are allowed to circulate freely in the United States, Microsoft will eventually go bankrupt.

In light of this, Microsoft has once again raised the banner of fighting piracy. However, ironically, Microsoft is not fighting piracy of its own software, but rather piracy of other companies' software.

However, American computer manufacturers do not support Microsoft's actions.

Microsoft's operating systems are quite expensive, so why can't we computer manufacturers just copy HarmonyOS for free? Isn't that a great deal?

Even IBM doesn't support the traitorous Microsoft. Once Microsoft got powerful, it dared to betray IBM, and now it can forget about getting IBM's support.

Microsoft's stock price plummeted every day, leaving Bill Gates physically and mentally exhausted.

At this moment, Bill Gates sat in his office, looking utterly dejected.

"It's too difficult for us to crack down on piracy!" Bill Gates complained to his colleagues. "These domestic computer manufacturers are really short-sighted. They think they can save money by copying HarmonyOS. How stupid! In the future, as more and more people use HarmonyOS and develop the habit of using it, these people will not easily leave HarmonyOS. Then Wujiang Group will have the ability to control these companies."

"If they cooperate with Microsoft in combating piracy, then Wujiang Group will have no means to threaten them!"

After Bill Gates finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

He was initially quite excited; with HarmonyOS withdrawing from the US market, Windows could finally shine and regain market share.

However, unexpectedly, pirated versions of the HarmonyOS system sprang up everywhere like mushrooms after rain.

This completely baffled Bill Gates.

He probably never imagined that Zhao Ye had actually learned this move from him.
