Amazon kicked off its huge cloud conference with a big dig at Oracle's Larry Ellison (AMZN, ORCL)

Amazon kicked off its huge cloud conference with a big dig at Oracle's Larry Ellison (AMZN, ORCL)· *Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy took shot at Oracle during his keynote for AWS big tech conference in AWS.*
· *He showed a cartoon on stage that was a dig at Oracle and its famous founder Larry Ellison that got a big laugh.*
· *There is a bigger message under the joke: AWS is serious about peeling customers away from Oracle and believes it has having some success.*

--------------------Amazon Web Services kicked off its massive tech conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday and, as has become customary, AWS CEO Andy Jassy included a big dig at Oracle, specifically Oracle founder Larry Ellison.

The two companies have become fierce competitors as enterprises ditch their own data centers and move to cloud computing. AWS is by far the biggest cloud computing supplier and a couple of years ago, it opted to take Oracle head on by launching its own database.

Oracle's database is where the company got its start and it is still its biggest and most important product. It's a long-lasting and durable business for Oracle: customers use the databases to run critical parts of their operations and they don't yank out a database or switch vendors easily. 

But that's exactly what AWS is trying to get companies to do. It launched its own direct competitor to Oracle's SQL database, Aurora, and says it's nabbing customers, often away from Oracle, at a fast rate.

Oracle has responded by building its own cloud, seeking to to compete directly with Amazon on that level. Oracle's overall cloud business will do well, because it's an easy option for customers who want to move to the cloud but do not want to ditch Oracle's database or its other software. 

Companies can also run Oracle database on AWS, but earlier this year, Oracle changed its licensing in such a way that it essentially doubled the cost of running and Oracle database on AWS cloud. The idea was clear: Oracle wants to make it cheaper for its customers to run its software on its own cloud. But, the strategy might backfire. As you might imagine, Oracle's customers were not happy about the price increase. AWS already has an enormous number of enterprise customers and such tactics just might encourage them to try moving to AWS database instead.

On Wednesday, during his keynote talk, Jassy said, "Oracle overnight doubled price of its software on AWS. Who does that to their customers? Someone who doesn’t care about the customer but views them as a means to their financial ends."

To be fair to Oracle, its database is the gold standard, just like AWS is the gold standard of the cloud. 

But AWS isn't resting on its laurels. It announced a whole bunch of new database services on Wednesday, including an upcoming "serverless" version of its competitor to Oracle, which allows companies to use a database without having to think about the underlying hardware.

But the laughs of the morning definitely came at Larry Ellison's expense with a cartoon that showed a guy that looks like Ellison in a police line-up, based on that license change.

An officer asks: "Do you recognize who scared you last night?" And an older lady answers, "The one with the Goatee."

Suzhou, Nov. 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 4th Summit of Best A-shares Public Companies & Best Investment Bank Leaders was held on Nov. 18th in Suzhou, China. Leaders and experts from over 100 public companies, 20 securities companies, and various investment corporations in China attended the grand gathering.

The 2017 ranking of A-shares public companies was revealed at the meeting. 37 Interactive Entertainment (Stock No.: 002555.SZ) was ranked 13th among the 2017 Best A-shares Public Companies, and 25th among the Top 500 A-shares Public Companies of Greatest Prospective Value.

37 Interactive Entertainment was also ranked No. 1 in the Most Advanced A-shares Companies by Industry ranking (in the media industry).

As shown in its Q3 financial report, 37 Interactive Entertainment in the first three quarters of 2017 had total revenues of RMB 4.46 billion, up 21.7%, among which the total net profit of shareholders was RMB 1.21 billion, up 61%. The company succeeded to maintain its momentum of profitability in the rapidly changing gaming industry.

2017 is a year in which 37 Interactive Entertainment has achieved significant breakthroughs in its development and publishing of mobile games, and its overseas publishing business. This greatly improved the company’s capability to raise revenues.

As shown in its semi-annual financial report, 37 Interactive Entertainment’s mobile games business generated total revenues of RMB 1.543 billion, up 196%. It’s worth pointing out that Yonghengjiyuan (simplified Chinese version of Blades & Rings), the megahit mobile game developed by the company’s signature development team, Aurora Studio, generated revenue of up to RMB 410 million in one month, with one day even earning up to RMB 70 million in China. Within about a month after the launch of Awalongzhiwang (simplified Chinese version of King of Avalon) on the company’s mobile games platform, 37 Mobile Games, the game achieved more than 300,000 DAU and a total revenue of RMB 36 million on Android alone.

37 Interactive Entertainment’s overseas publishing business has also gained a huge boost recently. In the first half of 2017, the flagship title Yonghengjiyuan frequented the App Store and Google Play Top 5 lists in various regions such as Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea. It generated a total revenue of up to RMB 70 million in one month in overseas regions. During the same period, the company’s revenues that came from overseas mobile games business reached RMB 367 million, up 181%. In the latter half of the year, Zhenmoqu (the traditional Chinese version of Demon Seals) was launched and very well received in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. It reached 2nd place in Macau’s Google Play Grossing Rank. In the Southeast Asian regions, Swords of Immortals reached the 2nd place in Malaysia’s App Store Grossing Rank. ZhuXian-กระบี่เทพสังหาร (Thai version of Swords of Immortals) reached 4th place in the grossing ranks of Thailand’s various app stores. The Thai version of Blades & Rings also emerged on the country’s App Store Top 10 list shortly after launch.

In the meantime, 37 Interactive Entertainment set foot into new niche markets. Archangel H5, the HTML5 game developed by the company, has been widely acclaimed since launch. This will improve the company’s profit in the future.

After investing in X.D. Network (the company behind the critically-acclaimed Taptap platform) earlier this year, 37 Interactive Entertainment recently released an indie game called Puzzle Blocks for smart devices. The innovative title got featured multiple times on the App Store homepage and category pages.

The mobile games development and publishing business has become a stable factor for 37 Interactive Entertainment’s profitability. The rapidly growing overseas publishing business, HTML5 games business, and indie games investment also stimulated the company’s already successful growth. At the Investor Relations Summit of Chinese Public Companies held this September, 37 Interactive Entertainment was named Value Leader by virtue of its brilliant performance and great potential.

The 4th Summit of Best A-shares Public Companies & Best Investment Bank Leaders was jointly held by Valueline Magazine, China Economic Net, Xinhua Net, assisted by CRD Net, China Business News, and Sina. This year, a series of ranking lists, including Top 28 Advanced A-shares Companies by Industry, Top 10 A-shares Investment Banks & Most Improved Investment Companies, 2017 Best A-shares Public Company Chairpersons & Secretaries to Chairpersons, were published based on the data model developed by Nanjing University and Beijing Normal University. At the grand conference, the A-shares public companies and their executives that gave a brilliant performance over the past year received commendations and applause. Various industry leaders shared their experiences and wisdom while pointing out the various methods used in obtaining such ground breaking results.
