Furthermore, Zhao Ye also wanted to "take the essence and discard the dross".
Build the framework from the very beginning.
IBM, Oracle, and other companies probably never imagined that Zhao Ye, this cheater, would actually master the open-source and free MySQL and be able to overtake them!

May 1, 1992.
Wujiang Group internally announced that it has stopped producing pagers and typewriters.
In fact, as early as the first half of 1990, Wujiang Group had already cut off its Chinese character card business.
Shenzhou computers already support Chinese, so why is it necessary to develop a Chinese character card?
Moreover, the profit margin for Chinese character cards is already very low. Due to the low technical content, any college student with a little technical skill can develop a Chinese character card. Therefore, this industry has become very competitive and there is not much profit to be made.
As for pagers, with the popularity of PHS phones, who would still want to buy a pager?
The price of PHS phones isn't very high; it has now dropped below 2000 yuan. Although pagers are a few hundred yuan cheaper than PHS phones, who would want to buy a pager now? Isn't it more convenient to make calls and send text messages directly with a PHS phone? Besides, PHS phones can now make domestic roaming calls, making the product very attractive.
As a result, the CDMA technology developed by Wujiang Group is now temporarily rendered useless.
While CDMA technology is far superior to PHS (Personal Handyphone System), boasting advantages such as better signal strength, more features, and wider bandwidth, CDMA is relatively more expensive. For now, PHS is sufficient for most people in China.
Furthermore, the technology of PHS (Personal Handyphone System) can actually be further improved.
Therefore, it is clear that it will be a long time before CDMA can be widely adopted in China.
While the technology was popular both inside and outside the US, several American telecommunications companies were interested in acquiring CDMA technology. However, Wujiang Group did not agree, only expressing its willingness to cooperate. Ultimately, the cooperation negotiations fell through, and with the collapse of the Soviet Union, all cooperation negotiations between major American telecommunications companies and Wujiang Group came to a halt.
History took another turn here. The United States abandoned CDMA and instead embraced a flawed technology that was difficult to compare with CDMA, especially in the 3G and 4G era. CDMA technology could far surpass GSM and monopolize the entire communications market.
Zhao Ye neither confirmed nor denied the fact that the United States had not developed a CDMA network.
In the short term, this has disadvantages for China, but in the long term, the United States will inevitably lag behind China in the 3G and 4G eras.
China will certainly support CDMA technology, but it is currently only being piloted in major first-tier cities, and the number of CDMA users is small.
In fact, Japan also has its own PDC communication standard. The Japanese government regards it as an important technology to challenge GMS and CDMA and to gain control of the 2G standard. It has forced domestic telecommunications companies to conduct in-depth research, development and manufacturing of PDC standard communication equipment.
However, due to the fate of small countries, Japan failed to develop its PDC standard in its previous life. It was precisely because Japan focused its main efforts on PDC standard development that Japanese telecommunications companies missed an opportunity for manufacturing development in the 2G era, creating an opportunity for Chinese telecommunications companies such as Huawei and ZTE to rise and surpass them.
The United States should have possessed CDMA technology, but Zhao Ye emerged out of nowhere and stole it.
As the industry leader in the 1G era, Motorola should have been involved in the research and development of 2G standards. However, Motorola had a wild idea: the "Iridium Project," which involved launching multiple communication satellites to allow users around the world to make satellite calls.
The "Iridium Project" even misled major American telecommunications companies, resulting in the United States missing out on the 2G standard and having to choose the European GSM.
The US semiconductor industry, communications industry, and IT/Internet technology industry have all encountered problems. How the hell do they expect to rise again?
Zhao Ye, the person behind this situation in the United States, has arrived at the Bund in Shanghai and is looking across the Huangpu River at the Lujiazui construction site in the distance.
"The Wujiang Building is expected to be completed in 5 years, that is, in 1997. Other buildings will be completed faster, especially the research buildings, which are shorter in height, so the construction period will be shorter!" said Xu Zhesheng, the chief person in charge of the Lujiazui renovation project.
Zhao Ye was particularly sensitive to the number 1997, and was taken aback upon hearing this. With the Asian financial crisis erupting and major Japanese and South Korean companies suffering terribly, Wujiang Group moving into the "world's tallest building," the Wujiang Tower, at this time seemed... a bit too good to be true!
Zhao Ye patted Xu Zhesheng on the shoulder and smiled, "Chief Engineer Xu, you must ensure the project is completed smoothly within the timeframe!"
"Boss, please rest assured, there will be absolutely no problem!" Xu Zhesheng said confidently. As a professor in the architecture department of a top university in China and also the chief engineer of Wanjiang Real Estate, he knows the diligence and wisdom of Chinese construction workers. The title of China's "infrastructure maniac" is earned by their hard work and sweat. He conservatively estimates that the Lujiazui renovation project will take five years, but in fact, the project may be completed ahead of schedule.
"Okay, that's good! But we need to pay attention to construction safety. Also, we should make sure the workers' meals are good. Furthermore, Wanjiang Real Estate can absorb technology from domestic and foreign construction companies. Ideally, we should recruit some people to join Wanjiang Real Estate to strengthen its architectural design capabilities!"
Zhao Ye was planning that once the Lujiazui redevelopment project was completed, he would have Wanjiang Real Estate make a major foray into the Chinese real estate market and develop Wanjiang Plaza!
Real estate cannot be considered a monster. In the past, China's economic development achieved such great success, and the real estate industry played an indispensable role.
Simply put, the real estate industry is large in scale, has high weight, long chain, and wide scope, and has a strong driving effect on upstream and downstream related industries. Therefore, it can become the ballast stone of the national economy and the pillar of the national economy.
There is some truth to the idea that large-scale infrastructure projects can drive national economic development.
Of course, the inflated housing prices are a point of contention.
However, Zhao Ye also has ways to curb the soaring housing prices.
That means hoarding more land, building more houses, and having more affordable housing will curb housing prices.
However, for commercial real estate, such as Wanjiang Plaza, if the main business is rental, then there is no need to deliberately suppress housing prices. After all, people who can afford to rent shops are relatively wealthy, and Zhao Ye feels no guilt if he takes advantage of them.
Gradually, the sun rose higher, and the scorching summer sun made the earth feel like a furnace, so hot that it was unbearable.
Zhao Ye wiped his sweat and bid farewell to Xu Zhesheng and the others.
At this moment, Zhao Ye remembered that he had learned while reviewing documents the day before that the animated film "The Lion King" had been completed, so he instructed the driver to drive to the Shanghai Animation Film Studio...
