On December 26, 2023, the Xinchuang product list of CPU, operating system, and centralized database was officially released. The list of centralized databases is as follows:
The Xinchuang list can be equated to the "localization" certification certificate officially issued by the country. Under the general trend of independent and controllable technology in the entire industry, such a list plays a decisive role in the development of enterprises. Manufacturers that can be shortlisted in the first batch of lists All have their own special strengths.
According to the corporate attributes of the shortlisted manufacturers, they can be divided into the following categories:
1. Established manufacturers (6), original members of the party and government’s credit creation list: Dameng, Nanda General Motors, Renmin Congress Jincang, Hangao, Haidian, and Youxuan;
2. Major Internet cloud companies (2): Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud;
3. Emerging database companies (3 companies): Xugu Weiye, Dongfang Jinxin, and Wanli Kaiyuan;
There are too many stories worth watching among the established manufacturers, such as Dameng’s upcoming listing (refer to previous analysis) and the ups and downs of Nanda General Motors. It is normal for them to be included in the list. Major Internet companies are also capable of entering the centralized database directory. The key point is to observe and check why emerging manufacturers enter...
Xugu Weiye - Analysis of Xinchuang's inclusion in the list
Xugu Weiye was established in January 2018 with a registered capital of 58.54 million, a paid-in capital of less than 20 million, and 50 insured persons. The official website states that its predecessor was "Chengdu Ouguan Information Technology Co., Ltd.". It started making domestic databases in 2002. It took more than 20 years to finally create a distributed database. But Tianyancha shows that "Chengdu Champions League" was established in 2006 with a registered capital of 31 million and a paid-in capital of 9.18 million. It is mainly engaged in the development and sales of computer software. Therefore, there is no information available as to what form the Xu Gu Weiye took in its existence from 2002 to 2006.
1Technical architecture: quite satisfactory
Its official website only introduces technologies related to distributed databases. From its technical description, compared with common domestic distributed databases, the convenience of deployment architecture, technological advancement of products, system reliability, cross-center disaster recovery capabilities, etc. are not the same. It does not have outstanding advantages; but it may have some advantages in syntax compatibility with Oracle.
Its distributed database architecture can divide nodes into four categories according to different functions: master role, work role, storage role, change collection role, so its architectural roles are relatively complex, with different roles in operation and maintenance management, backup and recovery, etc. All will create additional costs and operational/process risks. Browsing through the white paper on the official website, there are three points worthy of attention:
1) Data copies support up to 3 (default 1 master, 2 backup), it seems that the currently popular distributed consistency protocols (such as Raft and Paxos) are not used to process data copies; while cross-center disaster recovery adopts a similar traditional centralized method Binlog synchronization technology of database;
2) The master control node has a single point of risk. The main control node adopts the master and standbymaster modes; under normal conditions, only one is working, and the other is used as a backup node. When a master fails, the standbymaster will take over the task. Obviously, there is a difference between "double-active" and "double-active"; this architecture In OLTP transaction processing, master failover will definitely affect critical business continuity.
3) There is no outstanding technology in terms of technical architecture, but after paying the development and operation and maintenance costs, it is okay to run stably and be safe and usable. Another point is that its system table and other naming methods maintain compatibility with Oracle. When Oracle DBAs are transferred to Xugu Database, the learning cost of operation and maintenance management will be reduced a lot;
2 Market layout: Meteorological Bureau business accounts for more than half
Most of the market cases are in ministries, commissions, cities and counties. Especially after the National Meteorological Information Center launched the project, projects supporting a large number of meteorological bureaus across the country accounted for more than half of the market cases.
3 Founder Kuang Zhongqiang: Inextricably linked to the Chinese Academy of Sciences
Tianyan Check shows that Kuang Zhongqiang works for 8 Sichuan companies. In addition to related companies such as Xugu Weiye and Chengdu Champions League, he also works for 3 companies:
1) Chengdu Xingdongfang Business Agency Co., Ltd.: Position - Manager
Founded in 2002, it is an enterprise mainly engaged in business services. The registered capital is 100,000, the paid-in capital is 100,000, the operating status is "revoked ( administrative penalty imposed by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau on illegal enterprises. After the enterprise has its license revoked, it shall be liquidated in accordance with the law, and the liquidation is completed and the industrial and commercial deregistration is completed ), not cancelled", Wang Li holds 50% of the shares and Kuang Zhongqiang holds 50%.
2) Sichuan Koning Bell Technology Development Co., Ltd.: Position - Supervisor
Founded in 2004, it is an enterprise mainly engaged in research and experimental development. The company has a registered capital of 1 million yuan and a paid-in capital of 1 million yuan. Its operating status is "suspended, not cancelled" . Wu Xuebing holds 55% of the shares and Kuang Zhongqiang holds 45%.
3) Chengdu Taihua Trading Co., Ltd.: Chinese Academy of Sciences? Specious, paradoxical, confusing~
Serve as a legal person. Founded in 1996, it is an enterprise mainly engaged in the wholesale industry, with a registered capital of 1 million, and its operating status is "revoked, not cancelled"; " Chengdu Mountain School Technology Development Company of the Chinese Academy of Sciences " holds 40% of the shares, and Kuang Zhongqiang holds 40% of the shares. 30%, Ren Gefei holds 30%;
The Chengdu Mountain School Technology Development Company of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has no record in Tianyan Check. However, a search targeting Ren Gefei , who is also a shareholder , found that he worked for 3 companies, all of which were also revoked! But we saw the name " Chengdu Institute of Mountain Science and Technology Development Company of Chinese Academy of Sciences" , which is one word different from the name of the company we are looking for above. The former is " Technology Development Company of Geosciences Institute " and the latter is " Technology Development Company of Geosciences ". The difference in the word "school" makes the meaning of the two completely different, but it is difficult to detect without looking carefully~ I wonder if it is an error in the industrial and commercial registration, or there is indeed such a company with a similar name "Di Xue Technology... Company".
Continuing the search, the Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences Geoscience Technology Development Company (revoked) was shown to be established in 1988, and the responsible department was the " Development Department of the Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences ", but it was terminated here; with this Companies with similar names have either been revoked or have been deregistered. However, at this time, another institution was discovered that was indeed organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences: the Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Water Resources (referred to as the "Chengdu Mountain Institute").
In addition, Scientific China mentioned in the report "Breaking News! Xu Gu Weiye passed the independent original evaluation of the National Testing Center!" in July this year that " the founder Kuang Zhongqiang inherited the spirit of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from his father's elder generation... "
From the above information, it seems that Mr. Kuang must have direct or indirect connections with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but this connection seems to be very obscure and has not been publicly stated.
4Shareholder Background: Clean, still clean!
Through Tianyancha's analysis, the background of its shareholders can be traced back to basically all natural persons, which is a breath of fresh air among companies that make database software. So this is an amazing business. Development according to the background line of the story: Database research and development was carried out in some form in 2002, and "Chengdu Champions League" was established in 2006. In 2018, at the peak of policy support for database information innovation, Xugu Weiye was established, and it will enter the centralized information innovation directory at the end of 2023.
The backgrounds of the 10 shareholders show that most of them are start-up team members and employee stock-holding platforms. No large groups were found, let alone direct backgrounds of central state-owned enterprises and state-owned assets. To describe it in two words, it is "clean", extremely clean!
Its industrial and commercial changes show that there are three new shareholders in 2023, namely: Chengdu Zhifengtunan Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership), Jiaxing Pusheng Hongteng Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership), Gongqingcheng Whale Bay Jushu Investment partnership (limited partnership).
Among them, Jiaxing Pusheng Hongteng and Gongqingcheng Whale Bay Jushu are investors of two private equity funds respectively (I don’t understand the structure and operation process of private equity funds. I will try to explain it after learning about it later).
Among them, Chengdu Zhifengtunan Enterprise Management Partnership (Limited Partnership). Established on 2023-02-22, there is only one "Xugu Weiye" for external investment, so it seems to be a company specially set up to invest in Xugu; its executive partner "Sichuan Jiesheng Investment Co., Ltd." holds 30% of the shares , the other 70% of the shares are held by natural person Zhou Lei .
Sichuan Jiesheng Investment Co., Ltd. was established on May 16, 2001. Pu Xing holds 99% of the shares as the actual controller, and Pu Jing holds 1% as the legal person. What is strange is that Tianyan Check shows that its external investment is only the "intelligent" listed above. Fengtunan" family, that is, he also indirectly only invested in one company, Xugu Weiye.
For a company like Xugu Weiye that can enter the national product list in the early stages of innovation and entrepreneurship, every non-employee shareholder behind it cannot be an ordinary person, and must have deep resources and financial support. Under the equity holding rules, tools such as Tianyancha can only look at the flowers in the fog. In fact, it is impossible to tell whether they are flowers or not, they can only be used as a reference, and the final complex interest relationships of the company are even more unverifiable.
When Tianyan searched Puxing , there were many people with the same name, but there was only one person with the same name as above who worked for 20 companies. Among them, " Sichuan Xinneng Yufeng E-Commerce Co., Ltd. " was established in 2015; Pu Xing (or the same name) serves as a director and ultimately owns 17.5% of the beneficial shares.
Its shareholders include Sichuan Energy Investment Materials Industry Group Co., Ltd., which holds 38% of the shares and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sichuan Energy Investment Group Co. , Ltd.
When I saw this, I seemed to have just ignored some information, so I went back and looked for it: "The official website of Sichuan Energy Investment Jinding Group issued an article. On July 6, 2021, Tian Huamao, deputy secretary of the party committee and general manager of the group, went to Chengdu Xugu Weiye Technology Co., Ltd. The company conducts research and negotiates investment cooperation.” Sichuan Energy Investment Jinding Group is a company controlled by " Sichuan Energy Investment " (ultimately benefiting from 84% of the shares), and is ultimately managed by the state-owned enterprise "Sichuan Development (Holdings) Co., Ltd."
Tianyancha shows that there is also " Sichuan Shuxiang Health Management Co., Ltd. ", Pu Xing serves as a director, and its shareholders include Sichuan Energy Investment Jinding Group and Sichuan Xincheng Materials Trading Co., Ltd. (Pu Xing is the actual controller) .
Obviously, Puxing and Sichuan Energy Investment Jinding Group have long been considered old acquaintances and partners; therefore, although Sichuan Energy Investment Jinding Group, a state-owned enterprise, investigated Xugu Weiye and did not invest, Puxing Holdings invested in Xugu , as the saying goes, the above situation may be just the same name. Even if it is one person, it is just that Pu Xing personally and Sichuan Energy Investment have some commonalities in the investment direction, but this seems to also make the relationship between Xugu Weiye and the state-owned enterprise Sichuan Energy Investment Some indirect connections were established...
As a domestic database company, Xugu Weiye has finally entered the list after decades of hard work. In addition to its own hard capabilities such as products and research and development, the spirit of its father, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has also had a huge impact, and the support of shareholders cannot be ignored.
The reasons for each company on the list are different. If you look at how these companies operate, you may have something to learn from it, or you may be able to use this to guess which companies will be on the list in the next distributed database list. This will continue Let’s analyze the reasons why the other two emerging database vendors are on the list. If you are interested, you can pay attention~~
