Reborn IT Giant

"What's wrong Steve, have you thought about your own experience? In fact, you are different from him. The reason why you were forced to leave Apple was entirely because of the greed of those shareholders. The problem is not yours."

"As for Leonard, although I am friends with him, I have to admit that he is just an excellent technician and not a qualified business leader. If he can listen more to other people's opinions in managing the company

, this situation would not have occurred."

"Yes, Leonard is actually a bit similar to me. He is not good at management. If I hadn't received financing from Zheng Yan last year, I'm afraid my Oracle would have encountered a lot of trouble. Fortunately, I have a little bit of comparison

Leonard Qiang, since last year's crisis passed, I have arranged for many senior managers to participate in the company's operations."

Last year, because Oracle expanded too fast, Oracle almost broke its capital chain and fell into a crisis. The company's market value evaporated by nearly 70%. However, after the crisis, Larry Ellison also realized his shortcomings and quickly addressed them.

make up.

"Okay, you don't need to comfort me. I'm not that fragile yet, I just have some feelings. In fact, it's not bad now. I'm running my own company, and I don't have to worry about someone suddenly jumping out to cause trouble."

Jobs spoke freely, but whether it was Zheng Yan, Larry Ellison, or even his girlfriend Lauren, they all knew that Jobs still couldn't get over this hurdle.

"Steve, do you remember what I said to you last time in New York? Apple can't do without you. Sooner or later, they will kick you out and invite you back, so don't worry about it.

."

Regarding Zheng Yan's statement, Larry Ellison just took it as a joke and no one paid attention to it. In the history of the United States, there are not many founders of companies who have been resigned, but I have never heard of which founder was hired again.

Return to the company.

"Well, to lend you your good words, I'm waiting for that day to come. If that day comes, I will definitely thank you very much."

The last time they met, Zheng Yan asked Jobs whether he would agree if Apple asked him to come back. At that time, Jobs was still

There was some hesitation. However, after half a year of development, the computer company's new products have also been released, and the sales are really not satisfactory. His own mind has been shaken. If the situation mentioned by Zheng Yan occurs now, Jobs will definitely agree immediately.

.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Zheng Yan, I originally planned to wait until Steve's wedding is over and go to New York. Since you are here by yourself, I just have something to discuss with you."

Larry Ellison suddenly became serious, "As you know, Oracle's main business is currently servers and development tools, and in terms of servers, our biggest competitors are damn Microsoft and IBM. Although I don't want to admit it, but

The fact is that both Microsoft and IBM currently occupy a larger market share than Oracle."

"If this continues, the gap between Oracle and them will probably become wider and wider, and it will be more difficult to surpass them, so I want to develop new markets to obtain more development funds."

"After research by myself and the company's board of directors, we decided to open up a new battlefield and put some effort into enterprise management software. Originally, we were planning to develop it ourselves, but on the one hand, we lacked the technology and talents in this area. On the other hand, we have already

Some companies have an advantage in this regard. If we are catching up with Microsoft and IBM while competing with these companies, I am afraid it will put Oracle into an even more embarrassing situation."

"After many considerations, we decided to acquire a company. You must understand what I mean by this, right? I want to acquire your 4510 Technology Company, but don't worry, as long as you are willing to sell, the price will definitely not be

Let you suffer a loss."

Larry Ellison has long investigated that the two most popular business management software currently on the market are SAP from Germany and the other 4510 Technology Company. However, he did not expect that Zheng Yan was actually from this company.

Founder of the company.

SAP has clearly rejected Oracle's acquisition request, so Larry Ellison had to discuss it with Zheng Yan. Talk about using money? Larry Ellison has never thought about it. If Zheng Yan wants to acquire Oracle, he can

Throw money at it,

Oracle currently does not have the strength to challenge Zheng Yan.

It has to be said that Larry Ellison's proposal was a bit sudden. Zheng Yan had long known that Oracle would embark on this path sooner or later, and would also acquire some companies to enhance its technical strength, but he never expected that he would

Focusing on his own 4510 technology company.

Because of Zheng Yan, 4510 Technology Company has always been in the leading position in enterprise management software technology, even Germany's SAP is slightly behind. It is only because it sold overseas licenses that its reputation is not obvious.

Zheng Yan has long ignored the assets of 4510 Technology Company, but Zheng Yan still has a special feeling for him and has never thought about selling it. Now, although the company has been fully handed over to Tang Hao, Zheng Yan still has a special feeling for him.

Yan is still the largest shareholder of the company, and Zheng Yan believes that as long as he nods, he will agree even if Tang Hao and others are reluctant.

"I'm sorry Larry, I have no intention of selling 4510 Technology Company. Those assets are nothing, but it was the first company that my friends and I established together, and it contains too many memories for us. We are not lacking.

For money, there is no need to sell him."

After hearing Zheng Yan's answer, Larry Ellison was a little disappointed, but he never thought about giving up. Although these two companies are not the only ones engaged in enterprise management software, the technology of other companies is obviously much behind and cannot satisfy Oracle's requirements.

need.

"Zheng Yan, I know you are not willing to part with it. If it were me, I would not be willing to part with it either. But have you ever thought about how much money you need to invest if you want to make the company bigger? At present, Oracle has basically completed its global layout.

As long as you agree, you can use Oracle's platform to promote your company's software to the world."

"If you are really unwilling to sell, we can also merge. In this way, 4510 Technology Company will be retained in disguise, but your current shares will be replaced by Oracle shares."

Defeating Microsoft has become Larry Ellison's obsession, and in his opinion, this is the fastest way to defeat Microsoft, so he does not want to give up easily.

In the end, Zheng Yan didn't stop talking and decided to think about it.
