There is news again from Ellison.

Ellison and Apple jointly held a press conference and announced that they would inject US$18 billion into Ellison's Oracle company. The two parties agreed that if Oracle's annual sales can exceed US$25 billion within five years, then

'Apple' will give 'Oracle' a ten-year period to repay the loan at an interest rate of 6% per year. On the contrary, if 'Oracle''s annual sales do not reach US$25 billion within five years, then 'Apple'

The company will fully acquire Ellison's 62% stake in Oracle.

This is a gambling clause similar to that of an investment bank. The so-called gambling is usually an agreement between an investment bank and the founder of the original enterprise. The company is required to achieve a certain performance within a certain period of time. If it succeeds, the entrepreneur will receive a large amount of money.

Investment, and in turn be acquired or divested, and so on. But no one thought that Apple would engage in such a bet with Ellison. Of course, they did not expect that when the dust settled, Apple would suddenly be so violent.

Insert a pole and mess up everyone's situation.

"Asshole! Jobs, you bastard bastard! Fuck-you!" Ballmer yelled in the office after hearing the news.

Originally, 'Microsoft' bought an empty shell 'nvidia' for US$1.05 billion and suffered a big loss. However, Ellison is still facing the crisis of bankruptcy, and Lin Feng cannot invest, otherwise he will be punished by the US Department of Commerce.

investigation. In this case, Ballmer believed that they could still regain control of the overall situation. But who could have expected that Jobs would suddenly intervene and disrupt the situation, destroying Microsoft's carefully laid plans.

With the investment of 'Apple', Ellison immediately came back to life. After repaying the US$18 billion loan, Ellison was able to free up his hands to regain control of the overall situation. And 'nvidia' also saved its life and made a profit.

700 million US dollars.

In this matter, Ellison made a profit and kept the company with five years of redevelopment; Qiu Deba made a profit and made 350 million US dollars out of thin air; Lin Feng also made a profit, and "nvidia" saved it, exempting everything

No worries; Apple has also made money. In five years, if Oracle reaches annual sales of US$25 billion, Apple will also be able to earn 6% interest. The annual interest on US$18 billion will be as high as US$1.08 billion. No

What could be a more profitable business than this.

The only loser was 'Microsoft'. Not only did its carefully constructed plan come to an end, but it also lost US$1.05 billion and bought a shell company. If this was to spread, 'Microsoft' would have to be laughed at to death. Then 'Microsoft'

But after losing his wife, he lost his troops.

It's embarrassing, it's a big shame. This matter must not be known to the outside world. But all this is in Ellison's hands. As long as Ellison announces that the core business of 'nvidia' is still in his hands, then the outside world will know about 'Microsoft'

If you buy a shell company, then 'Microsoft' will be nailed on the shame rack of business acquisitions. I am afraid that all negative examples in business schools in the future will have 'Microsoft' written on them. This is something Ballmer will never accept.

Moreover, this will give "Pangu System" an opportunity, allowing Lin Feng to take advantage of it. After all, "Microsoft" has suffered a loss and was deceived, and Lin Feng will naturally be proud of it.

"Steve, what do you want?" Bill Gates also had a headache. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Fortunately, Bill Gates was born in science. Although he was very angry with Ballmer for doing things like this, he still

I didn’t blame him too much. After all, it’s useless to blame Ballmer now. The key now is to solve this matter.

"Bill, this matter must not be made public, otherwise it will cause fluctuations in Microsoft's stock price, and we will be laughed at. We can't afford to be embarrassed!" Ballmer's eyes were red. He believed that this must be Lin

Feng and Ellison planned it, and they deliberately set up a trap for Microsoft to take advantage of.

"I know this will embarrass Microsoft. I mean, can you control Ellison from talking?" Bill Gates asked.

"I have to talk to Ellison personally about this," Ballmer said helplessly, asking Ellison to be nice and behave even though he didn't get the advantage.

Bill Gates frowned. Talk to Ellison? This guy wants to surpass 'Microsoft' and wants to overthrow his own people. To negotiate with him, isn't this a trick into the tiger's mouth? Bill Gates will never do it.

Agree with this.

"Bill, we still have an ace in our hands!" Ballmer said through gritted teeth.

Ace? Bill Gates was stunned, what other trump card did he have?

"Ellison wants to develop Oracle, and the biggest opponents he faces are IBM and German SAP. Now we are united to destroy Oracle. He wants to develop it and complete sales of 25 billion within five years.

The dollar task is very difficult. If he cannot complete it in five years, the company will be swallowed up by Apple. Therefore, we can sell IBM and SPA." Ballmer said in a dark voice.

Betrayal? Bill Gates can't accept this betrayal of an ally.

"Bill, our opponent is not Ellison. He can never be our opponent. We have only one opponent - Lin Feng. His 'Pangu System' is our real opponent. We must never let the 'Pangu System'

It continues to grow. Otherwise, it is very likely that at some point in the future, 'Pangu System' will replace our operating system and become the only desktop operating system recognized by users on the market." Ballmer said seriously.

Bill Gates nodded. Indeed, although Ellison competes with Microsoft in the server software market, Microsoft can still hold down Oracle with its strong strength, and Ellison can only

It's just a trick. Microsoft's only big enemy at present is Lin Feng's Pangu System. Apart from this, Microsoft is not afraid of any opponent. If it retains its dominant position in the operating system, it will retain everything.

"But the relationship between Ellison and Lin Feng, I don't believe he will betray Lin Feng." Bill Gates said.

"I didn't ask him to betray Lin Feng, I just asked him not to announce the truth about the 'nvidia' acquisition for a period of time. In the face of absolute interests, I believe Ellison should know how to compromise. This world is a world of naked interests. In the face of absolute interests,

In the face of interests, there is nothing that cannot be sold. The only thing that cannot be sold is because the chips are not high enough!" Ballmer smiled evilly like a money devil.

"Well, you go and talk to Ellison. But I hope you will proceed with caution." Bill Gates said after consideration.

Selling allies in exchange for one's own interests, and cooperating with enemies, is something like this. Bill Gates feels uncomfortable no matter what he thinks. He can't get over this in his heart, but fortunately he is not the CEO of Microsoft now, but

Chairman, so everything is decided by Ballmer.

"Bill, don't worry. This world will always be a world of money. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! I will handle it carefully." Ballmer said with firm eyes.

Immediately, Ballmer flew directly to Redwood City, California, where Oracle is headquartered.

When he came to Oracle headquarters again, Ballmer found that Oracle had regained its vitality in a short period of time. The last time he came here, the place was in a depression, as if it had encountered the worst economic crisis, and there were almost no employees in sight. But this time he came

, everything is in order, just like Oracle in its heyday. Every employee's face is full of vigor and confidence full of hope for tomorrow.

Damn it, how can this madman be so powerful? In just a few days, he can recall all employees and make them so confident! Ballmer cursed in his heart. The most important thing for this company is self-confidence. If all employees have

Confidence, it is difficult for this company not to succeed. And Ellison can make Oracle's employees quickly regain their confidence after experiencing the desperate situation of being on the verge of bankruptcy, which shows that Ellison is indeed a talent in management. And this way

It is probably not difficult for a company to achieve its sales target of US$25 billion within five years.

After straightening his clothes, Ballmer walked to the front desk.

"Tell Ellison that Ballmer from 'Microsoft' is here!" Ballmer said calmly.

The receptionist was stunned. Ballmer, the president of Microsoft, wanted to see Ellison!

"This...this..." The front desk lady was immediately confused, not knowing what to say to Ballmer.

"It's true that I don't have an appointment, but I believe Ellison knows that I'm here and will definitely see me no matter what I'm doing." Ballmer confidently ordered.

The front desk lady was confused again. She didn't know how to say goodbye to Ballmer, who had such a sense of superiority. You know, Ellison started from the very beginning, when Ellison's Oracle became a world-renowned software company (about

In 1990), Ellison announced a rule in the company - no one from Microsoft would be seen.

None of them will be seen, but that includes Microsoft's Bill Gates. You, Ballmer, are here, and Ellison will not be seen either. It's just hard to say this.

"What's going on? Why don't you report it! How do you do things at Oracle! A front desk lady has no such qualities. No wonder Oracle will always be the world's second largest software company and cannot become the world's largest software company!

"When Ballmer saw that this mere front desk lady dared to disobey orders and didn't give him face, he became angry. In addition, Microsoft suffered a big loss this time because it was tricked by Ellison. All of a sudden

I couldn't control my emotions and sprayed the front desk lady.

Of course, under normal circumstances, if the front desk lady was scolded and scolded, she would never dare to talk back. After all, they are just front desk ladies, at the bottom of the company, and can be replaced at any time. Faced with

For such a big shot as the CEO of Microsoft, no receptionist would dare to say anything. If she scolded him, she could only endure it.

But this is not another company, this is Oracle, this is Ellison's kingdom. And Ellison's most famous mantra is - surpass Microsoft and overthrow Bill Gates.

This point, which Ellison kept talking about every day, penetrated into the hearts of every employee. Therefore, the front desk lady exploded after being insulted.

"Mr. Ballmer, there is no need to report at all. Our president said that he will not see anyone from 'Microsoft'. Also, our president also said that our company does not welcome anyone from 'Microsoft' to come. Finally,

I personally express my disdain for your statement that Oracle cannot surpass Microsoft. We cannot surpass it because we want to wait for Microsoft to run farther and then surpass it, not because we are incapable. Now, security,

Get Mr. Ballmer of Microsoft out of here!" the receptionist said loudly.

"Haha, Ellison, you front desk lady is so cool! So cool! So unique! You should give her a big award!" Lin Feng laughed through the monitor upstairs.

Ellison also looks like he has won my heart. The words of the front desk lady are so satisfying to him. This is how you should treat Microsoft.

Of course, when Ballmer comes, you still have to meet him and see what he wants to say.
Chapter completed!
