Chapter 1,112 Smoke rising everywhere

"Mr. Murdoch, Lin, let's start the card game quickly. We finally got together, so we can't waste this great time!" Ellison quickly smoothed things over and separated the two.

"How can we not play Monte Carlo when we are here? Mr. Lin, why not play it?" Murdoch said with a smile.

Lin Feng nodded and immediately sat down at the table.

Ellison took a deep breath and felt the strong smell of tension in the air. He shook his head helplessly. Ellison never thought that the relationship between Lin Feng and Murdoch seemed to be better than the relationship between himself and Paul Allen.

More nervous.

Then the four of them sat down. Lin Feng and Murdoch faced each other, and Ellison and Paul Allen faced each other.

"Old rules, limited bets. The maximum table stake is 40,000 euros!" Ellison warned before opening the cards.

Everyone nodded. Although Monte Carlo is a gambling city, people come here not just for gambling, but for vacation and leisure. Gambling is just for fun. Even if there is something wrong between private parties, it will not be used.

Gambling to settle personal grudges is too childish. Moreover, there is too much luck on the card table. No matter how good the cards are, they cannot resist the crazy luck of the other party. The success of the four people here depends not on luck, but on their own.

Wisdom and courage.

Therefore, the four people would not choose to solve the problem at the poker table. Of course, with limited betting, it is a good choice to attack their opponents. Then, the four people threw down 1,000 yuan in chips to start the game.

The battle unfolded quite delicately, and each player's card-playing skills were consistent with his character. Ellison was very powerful and would place bets once determined. He was never intimidated by anyone. Therefore, it was difficult to "steal" in front of Ellison.

"Chicken". Paul Allen's style is extremely different. It is a pleasure to watch him play cards. He is not obsessed with winning or losing in each hand, but enjoys the skill of playing each hand. To play against him, you need to

Be alert, because you will be very tired every time you play. As for Murdoch, he plays cards like he does. He will slowly lead people into the urn with a low profile, and finally "kill" them, which will gain the most.

chips.

As for Lin Feng himself, to be honest, although he has played Texas Hold'em a few times, compared to Ellison, Paul Allen and Murdoch, Lin Feng is really a novice. But novices also have novice ways of playing.

, that is to be low-key. Choose to be low-key when your luck is not good, follow if you can, give up if you can't, and never force yourself. When the cards are good, increase the chips. Although you can't win, you can't lose much.

.

"Mr. Lin, you are so cautious when playing cards! No wonder Mr. Lin was able to start a career and become the richest man in the world in just a few years!" Murdoch said abruptly while drinking red wine after giving up a handful of cards.

One sentence.

Murdoch was quite angry with Lin Feng. Back then, when Lin Feng was being harassed by a reporter from The Sun, he directly brought up the fact that Murdoch abandoned his wife and married Wendi Deng to retaliate against the reporter from The Sun.

Regarding the affairs between himself, Allegra and Li Zhiyou, Murdoch was furious at the time. You know, the outside world has always been very disdainful of Murdoch's abandonment of his wife and children for Wendi Deng, especially in the

Some European countries have even criticized Murdoch. Murdoch finally used his media power, his own influence and financial resources to make this doubt disappear. As a result, Lin Feng suddenly launched an attack on China, and it was blatant.

He fired at himself at the press conference. This undoubtedly exposed Murdoch's scars and rubbed a pinch of salt on the wounds, making Murdoch very embarrassed and angry.

However, Lin Feng was too weak at that time, and he was in China. There was no need for Murdoch to argue with such a little person, and his own value would drop. He just blocked Lin Feng's remarks and temporarily forgot about them. What a little person,

There are always some little people who will retaliate for their anger. Murdoch does not want to fight with such little people, so as not to damage his identity. Of course, not fighting with him does not mean that Murdoch will forget about this and let Lin Feng go.

If he wants to punish Lin Feng, Murdoch has many ways.

Therefore, under Murdoch's instruction, "The Sun" and other media groups under his control launched a public denunciation of Lin Feng. This is why Lin Feng always attracts media attention, and his every move is loud and clear.

An important reason why small things will be exaggerated by the media as if they are the end of the world. Of course, in order to prove that he is by no means the kind of villain who must take revenge, lest anyone with a heart see that Murdoch is using the power of the media to attack others wantonly, Murdoch's "

The Times maintains neutrality. This is not only to avoid suspicion, but also to protect the image of The Times. Murdoch wants to make it the most authoritative newspaper in the world.

Unexpectedly, under the attack of Murdoch's media, Lin Feng thrived. It seemed that the harder he was hit, the stronger he became. In the end, in just a few years, Lin Feng's personal wealth far surpassed Murdoch's and became the world's richest man.

.This miracle can be said to have been created under the witness of Murdoch. Now, seeing the man who created all this sitting in front of him, Murdoch really doesn't know what to say.

It can be said that Lin Feng's success is partly due to Murdoch. Without the extensive coverage and criticism of Lin Feng by various media owned by Murdoch, Lin Feng's reputation would not be as high as it is today. But now

In this society, a bad reputation is certainly not good, but when the bad reputation reaches a certain level, the bad reputation will turn into a good reputation, and bad things can sometimes turn into good things. For example, after Lin Feng becomes famous, the outside world will become familiar with Lin Feng.

, will get to know Lin Feng.

It is natural that after learning about Lin Feng's career, those who need it will take the initiative to contact Lin Feng. At least whether the reputation is bad does not matter in business. As long as the person's credibility is high enough, other

Some reputations are not a problem. After all, they are just cooperating, not getting married. It doesn't matter what Lin Feng does in other aspects, as long as everyone can make money together.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Lin Feng should really thank Murdoch. If it weren't for Murdoch, Lin Feng would not have achieved what he has today! Unfortunately, this "hero behind the scenes" has troubles that he cannot tell. If he had known earlier

In this way, Murdoch should just ban him. Of course, Murdoch also wanted to make Lin Feng stink. After all, Lin Feng humiliated himself in public like this. Murdoch is also a man, especially the one who always comes to have children (with Wendi Deng’s child).

), naturally also wanted to make Lin Feng miserable.

This is not because Murdoch is too narrow-minded. It is just an instinctive psychological effect of men. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, treated scholars politely in his early years, but in his later years he hunted and killed almost all famous scholars in the early Ming Dynasty. Can you say that Zhu Yuanzhang

Not a successful person? Zhu Yuanzhang’s mentality of hunting down intellectuals at that time is the same as Murdoch’s mentality of praising and killing Lin Feng now.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang has the supreme power and can kill him if he wants. And Murdoch's favor - although this invisible knife is also very powerful, it cannot cut down Lin Feng, who is "not afraid"!

Faced with Murdoch's sarcasm, Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Murdoch, I am just a junior and a novice. If you want to succeed, you must be cautious. Otherwise, one day a third-rate tabloid may bark again!" Lin Feng is not a vegetarian. Although Lin Feng

I don’t know that the actions of the Sun and other media are all at the behest of Murdoch, but the Sun belongs to Murdoch, and it always accuses him, which naturally makes Lin Feng unhappy. It’s not easy today.

After finding the rightful owner, he seemed to be a little unhappy with himself. If he didn't take this opportunity to get some interest back, he would be really sorry for himself.

"Mr. Lin, I admire you, I admire you. I didn't expect that he knew how to deal with people at a young age. It's sad that he can be so successful in the business world. But if Mr. Lin could bring this caution into life, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many media

You are accusing Mr. Lin too much!" Murdoch was not to be outdone and confronted Lin Feng tit for tat.

For a moment, the war between the corners of the mouth seemed to be more exciting than the gambling game on the card table. This also surprised Ellison. He really didn't understand how Murdoch and Lin Feng became enemies, but like this

Life is interesting! How disharmonious a harmonious society is. He likes challenges, excitement, and bickering with others. You know, the most fulfilling thing in this world is to have a respectable opponent.

For example, Paul Allen is regarded as the most respectable opponent in Ellison's eyes. Of course, Microsoft is his current bigger enemy. Seeing the heated argument between Lin Feng and Murdoch, Ellison

Not willing to be alone, he turned the flames of war on Paul Allen.

"Paul, I heard that Microsoft is not going very well recently!" Ellison said lightly, holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Ellison, don't you know if Microsoft is going well or not? The XP system has now replaced win98 as a new generation operating system. The server system will also make new progress. The sales of Xbox are also extremely gratifying, opening another door for Microsoft.

A way to make money is not a way for some companies to survive only by relying on one product!" Paul Allen is not a vegetarian. If Ellison dares to provoke, he will not hesitate to attack him.

Ellison smiled. Usually, because of Microsoft's power, it often gets no advantage in verbal disputes. Of course, Ellison is the kind of person who fights repeatedly, and he will never be discouraged by temporary success or failure. Thinking back to those days

, before he founded Oracle, he went to three universities but did not get a college diploma. He worked in more than a dozen companies, but none of them had a senior executive. But in the end he created Oracle and became the world's leading company.

The largest database software company, more than 80% of the world's companies use their database software.

This achievement allows Ellison to face any momentary failure. And the quote he admires most is Saddam’s words - this is a final decisive battle. It fully reflects Ellison’s combativeness.

character.

"Lin, you and Microsoft jointly launched 'www.piotian.come' and your company's 'Phantom', and they both use the mp# format!" Ellison focused on picking out the painful areas.

The "wma audio" format was originally a new audio format launched by Microsoft in order to catch the last train of digital music. However, due to the launch of Lin Feng's "Phantom" and "Apple's" iPod, the "mp3" format

Music has become the mainstream of the Walkman. Almost no one cares about Microsoft's "wma" audio. Many music lovers only look for "mp3" and do not really need "wma". The digital walkman only needs to support the "mp3" format.

As for whether it supports "wma", it doesn't matter.

Ignoring the popularity of digital music was the first mistake Microsoft made in this century. In order to make up for this mistake, "Microsoft" cooperated with Lin Feng ("Apple" is one of Microsoft's biggest rivals, and Microsoft will never cooperate with "Apple"

Cooperation), jointly promote the "wma" audio format. Unfortunately, the "mp3" audio format has already occupied the market, and the "Phantom MP3 Player" under "Phantom Technology" has already sold tens of millions of units worldwide. Naturally, it is impossible to just

It's for the "wma" audio format and ignores tens of millions of customers.

In the end, the "wma" audio format lost in this digital format battle. Now Ellison is specifically picking on "Microsoft", which is really annoying.

Paul Allen snorted.

"Ellison, your database software is not following IBM's ass. I think IBM's farts are delicious." Paul Allen spoke in vulgar language. For a person like Ellison, you talk too much.

If you are too elegant, you will only be bullied by him. This "villain" who has not allowed him to graduate from three universities is an out-and-out lunatic. If you "compete" with him, if you are not crazy, you will never be his opponent.

Ellison's brows stiffened when he heard this. Paul Allen used this to ridicule him every time. When Oracle was first established, he was confused. After Ellison established the company, he didn't know which direction to take.

The development was good. Finally, I found the development goal after seeing IBM researcher Edgar Cotter publish the famous paper "Relational Model of Large Shared Database Data" on communications-of-acm.

With Oracle today!

It can be said that without Edgar Cotter's paper, there would be no Oracle today, let alone the high-spirited Ellison today. As a result, this past event that should have made Ellison proud (from IBM)

"Stealing" technological achievements, which is a matter of pride), turned out to be a follower under Paul Allen's words. This made Ellison quite angry.

But today, he has a counterattack weapon. Lin Feng is not like this! Lin Feng's first use value is now!
Chapter completed!
