“Why is that? Can someone tell me why? I need a reasonable explanation! ”

Larry Ellison looked ugly in the office of the chairman of Oracle Headquarters in Red Wood City, California, and the flaming newspaper and a piece of paper roared at the three co-presidents standing opposite him.

Clearly mature, Larry Ellison, who was no longer as grumpy as he used to be, finally didn't suppress the anger in his mind, his eyes glaring, he couldn't help it, he had just spent $7.4 billion to acquire SUN, this was just the beginning of the merger, hundreds of software engineers resigned, how could he be indifferent?

And the three Oracle co-presidents opposite him. Charles Phillips in sales and marketing, Saffragatz in global business, and Grigori Murphy in corporate finance, look just as bad.

“Recent media opinion seems to have been deliberately targeting us, with a lot of coverage blaming our company for internal problems, mostly due to the brain drain of senior management, alienation from customers and partnerships, a culture of pro-integration, etc.

Even with this speculation, we would have a split reorganization of SUN and a large number of layoffs, which did cause some panic within SUN, but I had no idea that this would happen, and that the collective resignation of more than a hundred software engineers was definitely not an accident, but a premeditated, organized series, which must be behind this. ”

“Can you tell me who's behind this? Ah!”

“Bang!”

Larry Ellison enraged and asked, seeing Charles shaking his face when he spoke, angrily dropped the newspaper and resignation letter directly on the table.

“The news has spread all over the United States, and the whole Silicon Valley is watching our jokes, and we? You don't even know who's targeting us. You say it's ridiculous!

Do you know what that means?

This shit means they're 100% successful at digging!

FXXK! ”

Larry's curse and growl echoed in the office, even the secretary sitting outside had to shrink his neck, and the whole company was very clear about the rough, bad temper of his own BOSS.

“Shet! ”

Larry Ellison's eyes cursed in the shadow, reaching out and pulling the tie off his neck, after exasperating all morning rage, sat on the boss's chair and took a cigar out of the cigar box on the desk in a gloomy color, biting it, "Boo!” He turned his head very roughly and threw up, then picked up the lighter and lit the cigar.

“Find out! Find out who's after me right now, asshole. I'll never let him go! ”

“Understood, boss. ”

“I'll be right there... ”

“Good boss. ”

Larry Ellison hung a grin in the corner of his mouth, raised his hand like a fly, waved his hand very uncomfortably, looked at the back of the three men he had given full trust to leave, the office door closed for a moment, he had to bite his teeth and curse, “A bunch of junk! ”

The years of arbitrary criticism of his conservative opinions, the continuing difficulties of Oracle and the massive brain drain have forced him to start thinking about the "name behind him” as he grows older when he realizes he can't support the growing management of the company by himself. You know, one of the criteria for evaluating a business leader's success is whether the business works well after he leaves.

He knows his own business, he knows his own personality flaws. It also made him understand that changing the company had to change itself first, otherwise he would inevitably be stained with indelible stains both before and after his life.

And the employing man was one of the major changes that Alison had reshaped, so he directly set up three co-presidents, dividing his powers, and the effect was obvious. Even in the face of the financial crisis, Oracle was not much affected, and he beat the dead-end IBM and took SUN from it.

It was undoubtedly a very happy and proud takeover campaign, and the media complimented him and satisfied his very SAO bag of vanity.

Only less than a week later, the painting breeze had a 180 degree mutation, on the various doubts and speculations about Oracle's acquisition of SUN company, it was just within the split merged SUN company was alarming, and there was this vicious event of collective resignation jumping slot, which was undoubtedly beating his Larry Ellison's face.

“Whoever you are, this is not over! ”

One of the strategic intentions of acquiring SUN was to acquire more than 3,000 software developers, and now he can get there. Before he can begin to enjoy the fruits of victory, more than 100 people were dug up. The question is, how can he stand it? The opponent may not stop, or even increase the process and effort of dugging, which is what gives him a headache.

He had already contacted the current head of SUN to stabilize the military and make a commitment not to lay off, but as long as he did not promulgate a substantial salary increase plan, I was afraid the trench could not stop, and the question was how it would be possible to promulgate a salary increase plan in the context of a split reorganization, without which he would have been merciful.

To be honest, in the face of the dollar's enticement to HUO, several more people will be discouraged, not to mention SUN, an acquired, awkward staff member.

“Buzz--”

Larry Ellison, feeling so depressed and angry, saw the phone on the desk start to buzz, couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows, reached up and copied, looked at the call and said, "Good morning, Mr. Murdoch. ”

“Good morning, Mr. Ellison. ”

Larry Ellison's smile replaced the gloomy, uncluttered face and asked directly, "How is it, Mr. Murdoch? I was really sincere about buying down the island of Lanai and I was going to convert it into a... ”

“Oh, I just called to tell you about Lanai... I'm sorry, Mr. Ellison, but Lanai has been bought, and I'm sorry. ”

When he heard the news, Larry Ellison's eyes couldn't help but squint with a sharp glow. The tighter he held his phone, he took a deep breath, pressed down his anger and laughed.

“Oh, it's Bill, right? I think that only Bill Gates would compete with me for ownership of the island of Ranai. ”

“I can only say that I regret that we will have the opportunity to cooperate next time... But the people who bought Lanai weren't Bill Gates... ”

“Oh, it wasn't him? Mr. Murdoch, I don't know if it's convenient to tell me who I lost to.” Not Bill Gates, Larry Ellison's gloomy face looked a lot better. After all, he bought Lanai to clog Bill Gates, and secondly, to invest, so long as he wasn't defeated by Bill Gates, he wouldn't be too impatient.

“Oh, nothing to say, in fact, it will be reported in the newspapers in a few days that Andy Smith is the one who bought Lanai and that Lanai will be given to his fiancée as a gift... ”

Larry Ellison hung up the phone with his eyes squintly, quite surprised that the man who took Lanai from him would be Andy Smith, the richest young man in the new world.

To be honest, Larry Ellison didn't like Andy Smith very much, well, he instinctively excommunicated and disgusted any second generation with a strong background and a golden spoon, his large, late-born counter-attack SI, which is why he was unfamiliar with Bill Gates, who had his hair crushed his head at the same time, and had been chasing hard, needle-sharp, relative root causes.

But for Andy Smith, Larry Ellison also had to admit in his heart that this little fellow was amazing, and as Jobs' best friend, he also got some reviews and opinions from Jobs about Andy Smith, a young man who could hurt Jobs and find a way to deal with it, and he certainly wouldn't underestimate it, and on some occasions, he had simple contact with Andy Smith, and he could see that this young man had maturity and a capital that was totally out of line with his age, and he had to admit that this was another elite example of family power.

“FXXK, bad luck, one after another!” Larry Ellison cursed in disgust, crushing the cigar in his hand in the ashtray. Stand up, pick up your suit from the hanger and put it on, he's going to Sun Corporation to sit in town.
