Reborn IT Giant

"Zheng Yan, are you sure you're not joking? You have to know that I am currently just an ordinary editor of The Paris Review. I am afraid that I am not qualified for the position of editor-in-chief, regardless of ability or qualifications."

"The nature of the two is also completely different. The Paris Review is just a literary magazine, while the New York Daily News is a large-scale media company. The content it reports includes local news, social news and various soft news.

There's even major international news."

"It is precisely because of the different natures of the two that the "Paris Review" is more rigorous in its reporting and follows objective facts; but the "New York Daily News" is different. It was keen on yellow news at the beginning, although it later became less popular due to boycotts.

Although I have restrained myself, my reporting style still likes to make fuss about this aspect, which is completely inconsistent with my style."

As a magazine editor, Mona Simpson naturally knows a little about the situation of well-known American magazines, and it can be heard from her words that her impression of the New York Daily News is not very good.

Zheng Yan doesn't care whether Mona Simpson has the ability to become editor-in-chief now, but Zheng Yan likes Mona Simpson's attitude. The reason why she wanted to buy the New York Daily News in the first place was just to have a newspaper under her control.

Although Zheng Yan did not have time to understand the specific situation, he had read previous periodicals. Zheng Yan himself did not like the reporting style of the New York Daily News.

"Mona, actually, like you, I don't like some things in the New York Daily News, so I want to find someone to change it. As for ability, this is not a problem. No one is born with strong abilities.

Ability can be developed slowly. I am still young and can afford to wait." Zheng Yan said with a smile.

Mona Simpson originally thought that Zheng Yan was just acting on a whim, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Forget it, I quite like my current job. I was also writing novels, and my current job allows me to communicate with more writers, which is conducive to my creation."

Mona Simpson is not the kind of woman who is very ambitious. She knows what she wants and what she likes, and ultimately rejected Zheng Yan's invitation.

After being rejected, Zheng Yan did not feel depressed at all. Mona Simpson did not continue to hold on to Larry Ellison and finally finished lunch quietly.

After lunch, Jobs still had to arrange for the guests to return, but Larry Ellison had already sent his sports car and returned to San Francisco with Zheng Yan.

"Larry, can't you drive slower? I don't want San Francisco to be the last stop in my life."

Larry Ellison, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was like a wild horse running wild. Even though there were snowflakes in the sky, he still drove the car very fast. Zheng Yan was frightened to see it.

"You have to believe in my skills. Not to mention a car, even if you give me an airplane, as long as I am the driver, I will ensure your safety."

Although Larry Ellison said so, the speed of the car still slowed down. Although Zheng Yan felt that it was still unsafe, it was at least acceptable.

"Larry, I think you should really learn from Steve and start a family as soon as possible. This way you will have something to worry about and you will cherish your life more."

"Oh no,

I still want to enjoy life, and I never want to give up a forest for a tree. Of course, if one day I meet the tree that can tie me up, I will still be willing to start a family, but for now, I can

The tree to which I was tied has not yet appeared."

Larry Ellison is worthy of his reputation as a playboy, and he has never shied away from his love for beautiful women at any time.

"It's better not to talk about me. What about you? I also read the report about you. What happened next? Did your two girlfriends in China know about it?"

Since Zheng Yan's trip to San Francisco was completely impromptu, An Ran and Li Yanran did not come with him. The two stayed in Hong Kong City for a few days to deal with the affairs of their small company, and then went directly from Hong Kong City.

New York. If this were not the case, Larry Ellison would not be so brazen when speaking.

"Thank you for having the nerve to say it, you did me a terrible job, do you know? The report about me was also sent back to Hong Kong City, and then they didn't discuss it with me and killed me directly from Hong Kong City. Fortunately, I am enough

Be smart, or I'll be done with it."

It can be said that the acquaintance between Zheng Yan and Lisa was led by Larry Ellison. Except for the last time they faced An Ran and An Ran, which was a bit dangerous, overall it was pretty good.

"What happened next? Did you choose Lisa or your original girlfriend?"

"I'm not like you. Since they are my women, of course I have to be responsible for them..."

When talking about this, Zheng Yan felt quite proud, and then told Larry Ellison everything, including the fact that Lisa was pregnant.

"Oh my God, you mean that they accepted each other's existence? How is this possible?"

Although Larry Ellison likes to hunt for women, he never thought about having several women at the same time, or when several people knew each other's existence. He did have a lot of women, but at the same time, he also

You will only date one person.

"Nothing is impossible. It depends on personal charm. Of course you can't do it. If you don't believe it, you can go to my house and see for yourself next time you go to New York. We will live together now. Okay.

, don’t be surprised now, we’re at the place, let’s get off the car first.”

Seeing Larry Ellison's surprised expression, Zheng Yan felt even more proud.

"By the way, according to what you just said, you are going to be a father soon?"

Larry Ellison was just so surprised that he completely ignored Zheng Yan's mention that Lisa was pregnant. After getting off the car, he finally thought about it.

"That's right, my first child will be born in a few months." Zheng Yan said proudly.

"Zheng Yan, after your child is born, how about letting me be his godfather?" Larry Ellison said excitedly.

There is a saying in Sicily, Italy: The world is too dangerous, and a child must have two fathers. Therefore, when a child reaches a certain age, the father will ask a local person or friend with prestige and authority to act as the child's godfather.

Therefore, in Western countries, it is also a very honorable thing to be the godfather of a child. On the one hand, it proves one's moral character and prestige, and on the other hand, it is also a witness to the friendship between adults. Larry Ellison was accused of various

Criticized, so no one is willing to let him become a

Be your child's godfather.

"Larry, I am not a Christian, and I don't plan to let my children become Christians in the future. In China, there is no such thing as a godfather. Besides, I don't want my children to become a Christian like you in the future.

Playboy, it’s okay if it’s a boy, but I can’t even imagine it if it’s a girl.”

"This has nothing to do with whether you believe in religion or not. I am not a believer myself. Aren't we friends? I just think this can deepen our friendship. As for your worry that your children will be affected by me, don't forget that I have been criticized.

It’s just one aspect, and a big part of it is because of jealousy.”

When Larry Ellison saw that Zheng Yan did not refuse directly, he felt that something was going on. Even if Zheng Yan was worried about him in terms of behavior, he was not angry and continued to do Zheng Yan's work.

"Well, since you are so sincere, I reluctantly agreed. But Larry, we have to agree first that when the child grows older, you will not pass on your lavish habits to him.

Especially if you are a philanderer, this is even more unacceptable."

"Thank you for having the nerve to accuse me. Although I am a carefree person, at least I am not like you, looking for four wives at a time. If your children will be affected in the future, it will be because of your influence. It has nothing to do with me."

“…”

Seeing that Zheng Yan had agreed, Larry Ellison stopped being humble. But Zheng Yan, on the other hand, didn't know how to refute Larry Ellison's question.

"Now that I am your child's godfather, we are a family. Don't forget what I told you. Oracle has started to make profits in the first quarter of this year after surviving last year's crisis.

The company’s stock price has also begun to rise.”

"If the company launches mature enterprise management software at this time, it will definitely be able to quickly seize the market and bring the company's stock price back to the highest point last year. It may be able to break through the original stock price. Even if it takes the opportunity to surpass Microsoft, it is not

impossible…"

Zheng Yan saw Larry Ellison getting more and more excited as he talked, and couldn't help but said: "Larry, I've told you, I still need to think about this matter. In addition, the company is not my own.

I need to discuss this with my friends."

"Although the company was founded under my leadership, and I am also the largest shareholder of the company, in fact, I have not participated in the management of the company at all in the past few years. To be honest, my friends have more feelings for the company than me.

It needs to be deep. If they don’t want to sell, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

It's rare that Tang Hao and the others are so concerned about the company's affairs and gradually like the company's management work. Zheng Yan doesn't want to disappoint them. Tang Hao, Dong Chuan and Zhao Weimin don't value money very much, but Zheng Yan

It is obvious that they attach great importance to the company they have worked so hard to build.

"Okay, just remember this. By the way, the Cisco matter has been dealt with. When are you going to return to New York?"

"Tomorrow, the things here have been dealt with, and the time to stay is not short. If I didn't have to attend Steve's wedding, I would have wanted to go back."

Now that An Ran and Li Yanran have returned to New York, Zheng Yan no longer wants to stay, and he also has to discuss the merger of the company with Oracle with Tang Hao and others.
