两辆沃尔沃牌豪华轿车在雨中停住，四个人下了车，撑起雨伞，走向会场入口位置，为首那人微胖，带金丝框眼镜，他看到安然之后，便远远向安然挥手。
Two Volvo limousines stopped in the rain, four people got out of the car, held up umbrellas, and walked towards the entrance of the venue. Waved to An Ran.
“小马哥！”
“Little Ma!”
安然惊喜过望，他实在没有想到，腾讯的小马哥竟然第一个到达。
An Ran was overjoyed, he really didn’t expect that Tencent’s pony brother would be the first to arrive.
不久之后，小马哥便站到了安然对面，似乎是保镖的中年汉子收起伞，目光紧张的环顾四周。
Shortly after, Brother Xiao Ma stood opposite An Ran. The middle-aged man who seemed to be a bodyguard put away his umbrella and looked around nervously.
星辰科技有双然，华夏互联网界有双马，都是民间津津乐道的风云人物，更加有趣的事，安然风格像阿里的老马，一旦开口，讲话滔滔不绝，而李默然和小马哥，都是不爱说话的闷葫芦，连性格也挺像。
Xingchen Technology has Shuangran, and Huaxia Internet has Shuangma, who are popular figures talked about by the people. What’s more interesting, Anran’s style is like Ali’s old horse. Once he speaks, he talks eloquently, while Li Moran He and Brother Xiao Ma are both dull gourds who don’t like to talk, and they even have similar personalities.
“罗总呢？”小马哥环顾四周，寻找罗佳的身影。
“Where’s Mr. Luo?” Ma looked around, looking for Luo Jia.
“在后台刷论坛呢。”安然嘟囔，“我担心大家因为害怕被制裁，而不敢前来，可他却说，怕个鸟，如果都不来话，咱们就扮一回常山赵子龙，单枪匹马杀过去。”
“I’m browsing the forums in the background.” An Ran muttered, “I was worried that everyone would not dare to come because they were afraid of being sanctioned, but he said, if they don’t come, we will pretend to be Changshan Zhao Zilong. , single-handedly kill the past.”
哈哈哈~
Hahaha~
众人大笑，小马哥道“果然是有技术便可以为所欲为啊，罗总这股子豪气干云，我们可比不了。”
Everyone laughed, Brother Ma said, “Sure enough, you can do whatever you want with technology. Mr. Luo has such arrogance, we can’t compare.”
安然道“马老板太谦虚了，谁不知道你们联手阿里和华为，正在悄悄进行另外一场战争，全球第一大数据库供应商甲骨文，已经被你们打的焦头烂额了，只怕再过几年，你们就能终结数据库领域，北美企业独大的局面呢。”
An Ran said, “Boss Ma is too modest. Who doesn’t know that you are teaming up with Ali and Huawei and are quietly waging another war. Oracle, the world’s largest database provider, has been beaten to the core by you. I’m afraid it won’t happen again.” In a few years, you will be able to end the database field, where North American companies dominate.”
小马哥谦虚的摆了摆手，“虽然在对抗甲骨文这件事情上，取得了一些成绩，但也不能盲目乐观，毕竟甲骨文相当于数据领域的微软，是占据绝对统治地位的巨无霸，而且话说回来，目前国内最大的玩家是阿里，我们还落后阿里集团至少一个身位，这场数据库大战，主力是阿里，我们顶多算帮凶。”
Brother Xiao Ma waved his hand modestly, “Although we have made some achievements in the fight against Oracle, we should not be blindly optimistic. After all, Oracle is equivalent to Microsoft in the data field, and it is a giant with absolute dominance.” Besides, Ali is currently the biggest player in China, and we are at least one position behind the Ali Group. In this database war, the main force is Ali, and we are at best accomplices.”
相比阿里老马身上的江湖气息，小马哥就要谦虚多了，为人也低调。
Compared to the quack aura of Ali’s old horse, Xiao Ma is much more humble and low-key.
就在全国老百姓都关注华为，关注贸易战的时期，几家互联网巨头，悄悄办了件大事，把全球第一大数据库集团给搞了。
At a time when people all over the country were paying attention to Huawei and the trade war, several Internet giants quietly did a major event, taking over the world’s largest database group.
2019年3月和5月，甲骨文集团连续进行大规模裁员，一夜之间，华夏研发中心基本上变成了空架子，员工几乎全部遭到解雇，甚至坊间传闻，甲骨文集团恐怕很快就要撤出华夏市场。
In March and May 2019, Oracle Group carried out large-scale layoffs consecutively. Overnight, the Huaxia R&D Center basically became empty, and almost all employees were fired. There are even rumors that Oracle Group may soon To withdraw from the Chinese market.
这实在太奇怪了，华夏是全球最大的互联网市场，甲骨文是全球最大的数据库供应商，按照道理，本应该在华夏市场大干一番事业才对，怎么忽然就不玩了呢？
This is really strange. Huaxia is the world’s largest Internet market, and Oracle is the world’s largest database provider. According to the logic, it should have done a lot of business in the Huaxia market. Why did they suddenly stop playing?
原因很简单。
The reason is simple.
因为华夏本土数据库供应商的横空出世，让傲慢的甲骨文公司没有了生存空间，在别的国家，甲骨文公司都很赚钱，唯独华夏大区被打的满地找牙，年终一算账，尼玛，内裤都赔进去了！
Because of the emergence of China’s local database provider, the arrogant Oracle company has no living space. In other countries, Oracle company is very profitable, but the Huaxia region has been beaten everywhere. Settle the bill, Nima, the **** are all included in the compensation!
所以说，甲骨文不是不玩了，而是玩不起了。
So, it’s not that Oracle doesn’t play anymore, but it can’t afford it.
互联网时代的发展和进步，让数据库变的越来越重要，大家每天在网上购物，用即时通讯工具和女朋友聊天，在网上完成老师布置的作业，这些都会产生天文数字的数据，而数据库，就是对所有数据进行科学管理的工具。
The development and progress of the Internet age has made databases more and more important. People shop online every day, chat with girlfriends using instant messaging tools, and complete homework assigned by teachers online. These will generate astronomical data. The database is a tool for scientific management of all data.
大多数普通消费者并不知道，甲骨文公司早在1989年就进军华夏了，1997年，华夏当局做出了一个在今天看来并不高明的决定，把邮电系统97工程，交给甲骨文公司来做，至此，甲骨文公司在华夏一家独大的格局正式形成。
Most ordinary consumers do not know that Oracle Corporation entered China as early as 1989. In 1997, the Chinese authorities made a decision that is not wise today, and handed over Project 97 of the post and telecommunications system to Oracle came to do it. So far, Oracle’s dominance in China has formally formed.
不久之后，华夏电子商务一夜之间崛起，甲骨文公司仗着自己的江湖地位，向阿里集团开出天价账单，马老板一琢磨，这个事情不对啊，把数据库交给一群老外来管理，不安全不说，这帮孙子还他妈的往死里黑钱，不能忍，干他！
Shortly after, Huaxia e-commerce rose overnight, and Oracle relied on its status in the arena to issue a sky-high bill to the Ali Group. Boss Ma thought about it, this is wrong, and he entrusted the database to a group of foreigners to manage. Not to mention it’s unsafe, these grandsons are still **** getting money to death, I can’t bear it, **** him!
然而，想在数据领域摆脱甲骨文，难度不亚于在操作系统领域摆脱微软，从2007年起，阿里集团就开始大规模替换甲骨文的数据库，然而最后一台甲骨文数据库服务器下线，却已经是2013年5月17日了，为了摆脱甲骨文公司，阿里集团竟然用了整整六年的时间，由此可见其难度之大。
However, getting rid of Oracle in the field of data is no less difficult than getting rid of Microsoft in the field of operating systems. Since 2007, Ali Group has begun to replace Oracle’s database on a large scale. However, the last Oracle database server went offline. It was already May 17, 2013. In order to get rid of Oracle Corporation, Ali Group actually spent six full years, which shows how difficult it is.
目前华夏有一股风气，但凡哪一个领域，华夏还没有实现自主知识产权，没有实现国产替代，大家就会义愤填膺，指责国内公司无能，大骂相关科研人员混吃等死。
At present, there is a trend in Huaxia, but in any field, Huaxia has not realized independent intellectual property rights, and has not realized domestic substitution, everyone will be filled with righteous indignation, accuse domestic companies of incompetence, and scold relevant scientific researchers who are just waiting to die.
然而大家并没有仔细想过这样一个问题，如果科研好搞的话，这世界上就不会存在科研霸权了。
However, everyone has not thought about such a problem carefully. If scientific research is easy to do, there will be no scientific research hegemony in the world.
也就是华夏人够多，够聪明，又非常重视教育，勤劳肯干，否则换了世界上任何一个国家，绝不可能威胁到北美的科技霸权，因为科技这个东西一旦落后，那是要用几十年，乃至上百年去追赶的，何况在追赶的过程中，老外也在进步。
That is to say, there are enough people in China, they are smart enough, they attach great importance to education, and they are hardworking and hard-working. It will take decades or even hundreds of years to catch up, and in the process of catching up, foreigners are also making progress.
阿里集团已经是国内最牛逼的企业了，搞个数据库项目，尚且要用整整六年，换了别的中小型企业，根本连想都不要想。
Alibaba Group is already the most powerful company in the country, and it will take six full years to start a database project. It is impossible to even think about changing to other small and medium-sized enterprises.
反正搞甲骨文这件事，属于阿里带头，其他巨头跟风做了帮凶，至于把甲骨文给干掉，那是不可能的任务，只要自己够用，别被人家宰成冤大头就行了。
Anyway, Ali took the lead in engaging in Oracle, and other giants followed suit and became accomplices. As for killing Oracle, that is an impossible task. As long as you have enough, don’t be bullied by others.
然而谁也没有想到，一夜之间，风向突变，云服务的时代忽然降临了。
However, no one thought that the wind direction changed suddenly overnight, and the era of cloud services suddenly came.
从二零一五年开始，数据库全面转向云端，给阿里他们创造了咸鱼翻身的绝佳机会！
Since 2015, the database has been fully shifted to the cloud, creating an excellent opportunity for Ali and the others to turn around!
不得不说，机会一直都有，但总是留给那些有准备的人，阿里集团从2007年就开始搞的数据库研发，终于释放出了巨大的力量，而要是当初阿里没有咬着牙搞这个项目，根本就不会有后来的反超机会。
I have to say that there are always opportunities, but they are always reserved for those who are prepared. The database research and development that Ali Group has been engaged in since 2007 has finally released a huge force. If you engage in this project, there will be no chance of overtaking later.
云数据开启了新的征程，被甲骨文公司打压多年的华夏企业，全都憋着一口气，传统数据库领域，我们拿你没有办法，到了云数据时代，我们弄死你！
Cloud data has started a new journey. Huaxia companies that have been suppressed by Oracle for many years are all holding their breaths. In the field of traditional databases, we have nothing to do with you. In the era of cloud data, we will kill you!
于是一夜之间，国内企业上演了疯狂大逆转的戏码，而曾经不可一世的甲骨文公司，因为缺乏对云时代的足够重视，从此一泻千里，溃不成军，恐怕在不远的将来，甲骨文真的要变成枯骨喽。
So overnight, domestic companies staged a crazy reversal drama, and the once mighty Oracle, because of lack of sufficient attention to the cloud era, has since plummeted and collapsed. I am afraid that in the not-too-distant future, Oracle will really To become dry bones.
如今的全球云数据霸权，由三家华夏企业，阿里，华为，腾讯和三家北美企业，亚马逊，谷歌，微软共同把持。
Today’s global cloud data hegemony is jointly controlled by three Chinese companies, Ali, Huawei, and Tencent, and three North American companies, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
从当年寄人篱下，到如今绝地反击，中美六强平分天下，华夏这帮互联网企业，打了一个漂亮的翻身仗。
From being dependent on others back then to now fighting back in a desperate manner, the six powerhouses of China and the United States have divided the world equally, and the group of Internet companies in Huaxia have fought a beautiful turnaround.
“没想到竟然是你第一个来了。”罗佳和小马哥握手，请他到沙发上坐，以腾讯的江湖地位，自然是有资格入贵宾席的，剩余大多数企业，由于位置有限，只能委屈他们上体育场的看台。
“I didn’t expect you to be the first one here.” Luo Jia shook hands with Xiao Ma and invited him to sit on the sofa. With Tencent’s status in the arena, he is naturally qualified to enter the VIP seat, and most of the rest of the companies , due to the limited space, they can only be wronged to go to the stands of the stadium.
“谁让我上了你的贼船呢。”小马哥抱怨道“和b站都卖给你了，又听了你的忽悠，扎进了半导体的坑，进去以后我他妈的才发现，怪不得没有企业喜欢搞半导体，这玩意何止是坑，纯粹巨坑啊！”
“Who let me get on your thief ship.” Little Ma complained, “I sold you both station b and station b, and after listening to your flickering, I fell into the pit of semiconductors. After I got in, I’ll **** Only then did I realize that no wonder no company likes to engage in semiconductors, this thing is more than just a pit, it’s a huge pit!”
“中芯国际的唐博云是你老朋友了，他们竟然给我们开出五纳米制程流片，一次九亿美元的价格，这也太离谱了吧？”
“SMIC’s Tang Boyun is your old friend. They actually offered us a five-nanometer process tape-out at a price of 900 million US dollars. Isn’t this too outrageous?”
罗佳无语，腾讯是个纯粹的软件和互联网企业，没什么硬件基因，根本不明白硬件这个东西有多烧钱，更不知道在硬件这个巨坑里，九亿美元真的不算多。
Luo Jia is speechless. Tencent is a pure software and Internet company. It has no hardware genes. It doesn’t understand how expensive hardware is, and it doesn’t know that 900 million US dollars is really not much in the huge pit of hardware.
罗佳正打算向小马哥解释，这时候忽然传来沙哑的声音，“九亿美元可以啊，我们五纳米流片也是九亿。”
Luo Jia was about to explain to Ma, when a hoarse voice suddenly came, “900 million dollars is fine, and our five-nanometer tape is also 900 million.”
顺着声音望去，只见是任总，他没有打伞，西装都淋湿了。
Following the voice, I saw that it was Mr. Ren. He didn’t have an umbrella, and his suit was soaked.
大家都是老朋友，任总也不客气，坐下后接过罗佳递来的毛巾擦了一把脸，对小马哥说，“硬件一直就是这么玩的，要不然你以为，我们华为集团一年几千亿的研发资金都去哪里了？”
We are all old friends, and Mr. Ren is not polite. After sitting down, he took the towel handed over by Luo Jia and wiped his face. , Where did our Huawei Group’s hundreds of billions of research and development funds go?”
罗佳耸了耸肩，“别看中芯国际收了你们九个亿，其实一次流片走完之后，他们不仅不赚钱，还会稍稍赔上一点呢，而且根据我们和中芯的规划，下一步我们就该推一个纳米以下的次世代制程了，到那时候，流片成本起码翻三倍。”
Luo Jia shrugged, “Don’t look at SMIC charging you 900 million yuan. In fact, after a tape-out, they will not only make no money, but also lose a little bit. And according to the relationship between us and SMIC Planning, the next step is to push a next-generation process below the nanometer level, and by then, the tape-out cost will at least triple.”
听了这话，连任总也无法淡定了，“忒狠了吧？七纳米流片四亿美元，到五纳米就变成九亿了，而你们的下一世代制程，竟然要三十亿？”
Hearing this, Mr. Lian Ren couldn’t calm down anymore, “Isn’t it ruthless? The seven-nanometer tape-out is 400 million U.S. dollars, and it will become 900 million U.S. dollars by the five-nanometer process, and your next-generation process will cost three A billion?”
“而且这是一次三十亿啊，缺乏经验的半导体团队，很少有一次就能流片成功的，记得我们在开发七纳米麒麟980的时候，一共流了三次片呢。”
“And this is 3 billion at a time. The inexperienced semiconductor team rarely succeeds in tape-out once. I remember that when we were developing the seven-nanometer Kirin 980, we streamed out a total of three chips.”
罗佳耸了耸肩，“成本就在那摆着，我也无能为力，就拿我们的五代光刻机来说吧，动用了几千名最好的工程师，月产量却只有一台，而我们的子公司星辰光学那边，还有几百人的工程团队，专门组装透镜，这些都是成本。”
Luo Jia shrugged, “The cost is there, and I can’t do anything about it. Let’s take our fifth-generation lithography machine as an example. Thousands of the best engineers have been employed, but the monthly output is only one. And our subsidiary Star Optics has an engineering team of hundreds of people who specialize in assembling lenses, and these are costs.”
“半导体实在太特殊了，就算这个世界上没有我们星辰科技，流片费用也早晚要攀升到三十亿，甚至一百亿，我们只不过是让进度提前了而已。”
“Semiconductors are really special. Even if there is no Star Technology in this world, the tape-out cost will rise to 3 billion, or even 10 billion sooner or later. We are just advancing the progress.”
小马哥此刻已经听傻了，而任总微微点头，罗佳说的不错，如果随便哪个阿猫阿狗都能玩，那也就不是半导体行业了，这个东西的门槛之高，普通人很难想象。
Brother Xiao Ma was dumbfounded at this moment, and Mr. Ren nodded slightly. Luo Jia is right. If any cat or dog can play, it is not the semiconductor industry. Hard to imagine.
等阿里的老马来了之后，罗佳便向他们三家道贺，恭喜他们在数据库领域取得的成绩，甲骨文的老板埃里克森，一直以来具有强烈反华倾向，罗佳并不喜欢他。
After Ali’s old horse came, Luo Jia congratulated the three of them and congratulated them on their achievements in the database field. Oracle’s boss Eriksson has always had a strong anti-China tendency, and Luo Jia doesn’t like him .
当然了，这也没什么大不了的，毕竟在西方白人精英里，不想遏制华夏发展的人，恐怕连一个都找不到，反华是正常的，不反华才是稀有动物。
Of course, this is not a big deal. After all, among the white western elites, there may not be even one person who does not want to contain China’s development. Anti-China is normal, and non-anti-China is a rare animal.
罗佳很高兴，尽管面临被制裁的风险，但老朋友们还是来了，这份情谊无论如何都要记下。
Luo Jia is very happy. Despite the risk of being sanctioned, the old friends still came, and this friendship should be remembered no matter what.
然而没过多久，罗佳便看到安然红着眼睛，从外面走进来，努力压抑着自己的情绪。
However, not long after, Luo Jia saw An Ran walking in from the outside with red eyes, trying to suppress her emotions.
“怎么回事？”罗佳问。
“What’s going on?” Luo Jia asked.
“雨越下越大了。”安然答非所问道。
“It’s raining harder and harder.” An Ran asked an irrelevant answer.
“然后呢？”罗佳又问。
“And then?” Luo Jia asked again.
安然坐下，用手抹了一把脸道“实在是没有想到，你最好自己出去看看吧。”
An Ran sat down, wiped his face with his hand and said, “I really didn’t expect it, you’d better go out and see for yourself.”
罗佳一怔，抬腿便向外走，任总他们愣了一下，随即也跟过去，发布会尚未开始，此刻他们都在休息室里喝茶。
Luo Jia was stunned, raised his legs and walked out. Mr. Ren and the others were stunned for a moment, and then followed. The press conference hadn’t started yet, and they were all drinking tea in the lounge.
唰~
唰~
出了休息室~Soverse.com~便是演讲台，雨果然又大了许多，然而在这大雨滂沱中，四周的看台上，人影此起彼伏，短短一个小时内，竟是来了数万人，他们安静的坐着，将被雨水打湿的外套脱下来，搂在怀中，用手绢或者纸巾，擦拭脸上的水渍。
Out of the foyer ~Soverse.com~ is the podium, and the rain was much heavier. Thousands of people, they sat quietly, took off their rain-wet coats, hugged them in their arms, and wiped the water stains on their faces with handkerchiefs or paper towels.
一刹那，罗佳忽然有种泪流满面的冲动，要知道，今天在场的每一个人，到了明天，他们所属的企业，便会登上北美黑名单，成为被制裁和打压的对象，究竟是怎样的信任，让他们不顾风雨和危险，从四面八方赶来。
For a split second, Luo Jia suddenly had the urge to burst into tears. You must know that everyone present today, tomorrow, the companies they belong to will be listed on the North American blacklist and become targets of sanctions and suppression. What kind of trust is it that makes them come from all directions regardless of wind, rain and danger.
“我的天哪…”任总浑身巨震，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。
“Oh my god…” Mr. Ren was so shocked that he couldn’t believe his eyes.
过了足足几分钟，他才回过神来，重重拍了拍罗佳的肩膀，语重心长道“好好干吧，毕竟他们这是把身家性命，全都押在你身上了啊。”
After a few minutes, he came back to his senses, patted Luo Jia’s shoulder heavily, and said earnestly, “Do it well, after all, they are betting all of their wealth and life on you.”
罗佳微微一怔，随即点头，眼中隐隐有泪光，眼神却愈发坚毅。
Luo Jia was slightly taken aback, then nodded, with tears in his eyes, but his eyes became more determined.
星辰科技创立第五年，五月二十一日，大雨，一万四千六百三十七家受邀企业，冒着滂沱大雨，冒着被北美制裁的风险，齐聚沪都八万人体育场，竟无一人缺席。
The fifth year since the founding of Xingchen Technology, on May 21st, heavy rain, 14,637 invited companies, braved the torrential rain and the risk of being sanctioned by North America, gathered in Shanghai In the 80,000-person stadium, no one was absent.
