Giant of the times

In the past, I always heard the media bragging about how talented Chronos Li was. Larry Ellison was not convinced. Isn't he just a young man in his early twenties? How powerful can he be? But when he met a real person today, Larry Ellison had an extremely profound experience. At this moment, when he faced Chronos Li, he was on pins and needles, as if sitting opposite him was a supreme being who could control the fate of others. exist.

In fact, for Oracle and Larry Ellison, it is!

If Li Zetian decides to let Microsoft develop database software, Oracle may become a small and inconspicuous wave in the long history. Ellison could also have gone from being a billionaire in his previous life to being worthless and impoverished.

The fate of others is completely in Li Zetian's hands!

Larry Ellison took a sip of hot tea and his mood stabilized a little.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say, as if he was a prisoner waiting for Li Zetian's sentencing.

"Mr. Larry Ellison, maybe Oracle needs a shareholder like me, what do you think?" Li Zetian stopped giving him orders. What he said before had already let him know how powerful he was and how powerful Oracle was. Life and death only depend on one's own thoughts. It is absolutely impossible for the other party to refuse the proposal to invest in shares at this moment. On the contrary, they should feel extremely lucky!

Yes, Larry Ellison felt that he had suddenly risen from hell to heaven. Oracle did not need to die, and he could still get the support of Chronos Li. He thought to himself that he had been unlucky for more than thirty years and achieved nothing. Now God He began to favor him and sent a nobleman to help him.

"Of course, I really need it!!!" Larry Ellison replied without hesitation at all, his voice full of excitement.

"But I want to hold 60% of the shares!" Li Zetian made his request.

Larry Ellison pondered for a while. If he didn't agree, Oracle might die; if he agreed, Oracle might develop into the world's top software company. Although his shares would be smaller, they would be more valuable.

How many people in the world are begging Li Zetian to buy shares in their companies? This multiple-choice question is not difficult to answer.

"No problem, I can agree!" Larry Ellison nodded heavily.

When Li Zetian heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and immediately said: "I will invest 1 million US dollars in Oracle, as a condition for my holding 60% of the shares!"

Larry Ellison nodded hurriedly: "Okay."

Li Zetian smiled and said: "You go back now, and then discuss it with the other partners. Come here together at noon tomorrow to sign an agreement with me."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll leave now!"

As soon as Larry Ellison left, Yu Jingqiu asked Li Zetian doubtfully: "Why not let Microsoft develop database software? With Microsoft's strength, it should be easy to defeat Oracle."

Li Zetian smiled and said: "First of all, Oracle has already made a product and has a first-mover advantage. Secondly, the database market is too big and the competition is fierce. Microsoft alone cannot conquer it. Larry Eli Sen is a man with vision and business acumen. I believe he will develop Oracle!" Li Zetian paused and continued, "There is no doubt that Microsoft will inevitably encounter strong competitors. Then we’d better keep this competitor in our hands!”

"Is Oracle so powerful?" Yu Jingqiu was a little surprised.

Li Zetian nodded and said: "The importance of computer data is self-evident. Naturally, database software is also very important! Oracle will definitely become a Fortune 500 company because of Oracle database software!"

Yu Jingqiu and Yu Jingshan couldn't help being stunned again, but they both knew that Li Zetian was not the kind of person who made wild claims, and he must have a basis for making such an assertion.

After Larry Ellison returned to the company, he told everything about his meeting and conversation with Li Zetian.

The other three people were extremely shocked.

"That's the thing. I have promised Chronos Li to become the majority shareholder of Oracle, holding 60% of the shares. However, he will invest US$1 million in Oracle." After saying that, Larry Ellison drank Drooled.

"Ellison, this decision is correct. Chronos Li obviously has a deeper understanding of the database than we do!"

"I can't believe that Chronos Li has become our major shareholder in the future! I found that any company he invested in or founded has achieved good results in the industry!"

Larry Ellison nodded and said with admiration: "Oracle will also be a great company in the future!"

The next day, Larry Ellison and all four of them came to the Panda Express restaurant again. Li Zetian had been waiting for a long time.

The other three people from Oracle briefly introduced themselves.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Everyone, please take a seat. If there are no problems, please sign the contract first."

Larry Ellison and the four looked at each other and shook their heads: "We have no problem..."

As a result, the two parties quickly signed a contract, and Li Zetian invested in Oracle in the name of an offshore company.

After collecting the contract, Li Zetian said to them, "I don't want others to know that I am the majority shareholder of Oracle. Please keep it secret. And you also know that Microsoft is also a software company. Once Oracle develops, it will inevitably Attracting the attention of Microsoft, there is no doubt that Microsoft will get involved in the database field. However, I will help Oracle gain a foothold in the database field and become one of the giants. Therefore, my identity is the best Don't let Microsoft know."

The four people nodded: "Yes, we understand!" Li Zetian smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Microsoft is not Oracle's number one enemy now, IBM is! On the contrary, you can also cooperate with Microsoft , Microsoft sells its operating system, and Oracle sells database software. By the way, what computers can Oracle run on now?"

"DEC's PDP minicomputer!" Ellison replied.

Li Zetian was stunned for a moment. Panda Express uses Apple-ll computers. How could Larry Ellison have the courage to go to Panda Express to promote Oracle database software? No wonder someone commented on him and said that exaggerating and lying are commonplace for the sake of sales. Perhaps, his wishful thinking is to get the order first, and then write an Oracle software that can run on Apple-ll...

Li Zetian couldn't help but smile knowingly. This was also the case with Microsoft in his previous life. After the first microcomputer Altair-8800 was developed, Bill Gates and Paul Allen called and lied that they had developed a BASIC language program for the computer. , in fact, they didn't even write a line of code at that time.

"Ellison, it won't work if it can only run on PDP minicomputers. It must be able to run on all computer platforms as much as possible. From now on, the new version 2.0 of Oracle database software will all be developed in C language, because C language is All machines support it, and C compilers are cheap. In this way, we can claim to our customers that Oracle can run on all machines! Large companies and institutions have various types of computers and operating systems, and they are willing to buy one A universal database!”

After hearing this, Larry Ellison couldn't help but sincerely praised: "Mr. Li, although we know that it is almost impossible to make Oracle run on all machines, it is a very smart marketing strategy for us to promote it like this. , will definitely attract a lot of customers!!!”

Li Zetian nodded and said with a smile: "That's right!"

After Ellison and others left, Li Zetian nodded secretly and murmured with a smile: "We have obtained the world's largest software company and the world's second largest software company in the previous life. When they develop, the world will be surprised by the major shareholders behind the scenes. It's actually the same person, hehe..."
