"Why is this? Can anyone tell me why? I need a reasonable explanation!"

In the chairman's office of the Oracle Headquarters Building in Redwood City, California, Larry Ellison looked ugly, screaming at the newspapers and stacks of documents in his hands, snarling at the three co-presidents standing opposite him.

Obviously mature, Larry Ellison, no longer as arrogant as before, still did not suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes glared, no way, he had just spent $ 7.4 billion to buy the sun company, and this has just begun to merge Hundreds of software engineers have resigned, and how can he remain indifferent.

And three Oracle co-presidents opposite him. Charles Phillips, responsible for sales and marketing, global business Safragats, and Gregory Maffey, who is responsible for the company's finances, are equally ugly.

"Recent media opinion seems to have been deliberately targeting us. Many reports have accused us that most of the problems encountered by our company are internal problems, and most of these problems are due to the loss of senior management talent and alienation from customers and partners. , A company culture that favors infighting, and so on.

We even made a conclusion based on this speculation. We will split and reorganize the sun company and carry out a large number of layoffs. It did cause some panics inside the sun company. However, I did not expect this to happen. More than one hundred software engineers The collective resignation of this is definitely not an accident, but a premeditated and organized connection. There must be behind-the-scenes behind this. . . "

"Then can you tell me who is behind the scenes? Ah!"

"Snapped!"

Larry Ellison questioned furiously, and saw Charles, who spoke, shook his head with an ugly look, and threw his newspaper and resignation letter directly on the table.

"The news has spread throughout the United States, and the entire Silicon Valley is watching our jokes, and what about us? Who even is targeting us is unknown, you say it is ridiculous!

Do you know what this means?

This tm represents that their success rate of digging is 100%!

fxxk! "

Larry's cursing roar echoed in the office, and even the secretary sitting outside shrank his neck. The entire company was very clear about his boss's bad temper.

"Shet!"

Larry Ellison cursed with dark eyes, stretched out his hand and tore off the tie on his neck. After venting his anger all morning, he sat on the boss's chair and looked gloomy from the cigar box on the desk. Take out a cigar, bite it, "Oh!" Turned his head spit very rudely, and then picked up a lighter to light the cigar.

"Go check it! Check it out immediately for me. I want to know who is targeting me, asshole. I will never let him go!"

"Understand the boss."

"Go right away ..."

"Good boss."

Larry Ellison sneered at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand like driving a fly, and waved very unhappyly, watching the back of the three trustees who had given full trust to him, the moment the office door closed, he could not help but curse. Sentence "a bunch of waste!"

Over the years of arbitrary and arbitrary behaviors, he has been conservative in criticism of public opinion, Oracle's constant dilemma, and a large number of talent drains. When he realized that he could not independently support the growing company management, as he grew older, he also Had to start thinking about the issue of "name behind". You know, one of the criteria for evaluating the success of a business leader is to see if the business is running well after he leaves.

Knowing his own affairs, he knew the flaws in his character. This also made him understand that to change the company must change himself first, otherwise, he will inevitably be stained with stains that cannot be washed away.

Employing is one of the major changes that Ellison has reinvented himself, so he directly set up three co-presidents to divide his power, and the effect is very obvious. Even in the face of the financial crisis, Oracle did not suffer much. Impact, but also defeated the deadly rival ibm, snatched the sun company from its hands.

This was undoubtedly an acquisition battle that made him very happy and proud, and the media also praised and praised his vanity.

It was only less than a week after that, the painting style had a sudden change of 180 degrees. There were all kinds of doubts and speculations about Oracle's acquisition of sun company, and the internal division of the sun company that was being merged was heart-warming. Not to mention, there has also been such a vicious incident of collective resignation and job change, which is undoubtedly hitting Larry Ellison's face.

"No matter who you are, this matter is not over!"

One of the strategic intentions of the acquisition of sun company is that more than 3,000 software development talents are now available, and he has been dug out by more than 100 people before he has begun to enjoy the fruits of victory. The problem is that the opponent may not close up, and may even increase the process and intensity of digging, which is what gives him a headache.

He has contacted the current person in charge of Sun to stabilize the military and promised not to lay off staff. However, as long as he does not promulgate a substantial salary increase plan, I am afraid that this job-hopping trend still cannot be stopped, and the problem is In the process of spin-off and reorganization, how could it be possible to promulgate a salary increase plan, without layoffs, there would be great compassion.

To put it bluntly, in the face of the lure of the US dollar, a few people will not be attentive, not to mention the sun company's acquired and embarrassing staff.

"Buzz--"

Feeling extremely depressed and angry, Larry Ellison saw the mobile phone on the desk start to buzz continuously, and frowned, raised his hand and plucked it, glanced at the caller ID, and the gloomy eyes lightened slightly. He picked it up in a hurry, and said with a smile, "Good morning, Mr Murdoch."

"Good morning, Mr. Ellison."

The smile on Larry Ellison's face replaced the gloom. There was no politeness, but he asked directly: "How, Mr. Murdoch, are you thinking about it? I'm really sincere to buy La Nai Island, and I'm going to transform it there Into one ...

"Oh, I'm calling to tell you about Lanai ... Sorry, Mr. Ellison, Lanai has been bought, I'm sorry."

Hearing this news, Larry Ellison's eyes couldn't help but freeze, with a sharp flash of sharp light, the hand holding the mobile phone became tighter and tighter, took a deep breath, suppressed the unwilling anger in his heart, and laughed twice.

"Oh, Bill, right? I think only Bill Gates will fight with me for ownership of Lanai."

"I can only say that I regret that I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate next time ... However, it is not Bill Gates who bought Lanai ..."

"Oh? It's not him? Mr. Murdoch, it's inconvenient to tell me, whose hand did I lose?" It wasn't Bill Gates, Larry Ellison's somber complexion looked a lot better, after all, he The original intention of buying Lanai was to add a block to Bill Gates, followed by investment. As long as it was not defeated by Bill Gates, he would not be too embarrassed.

"Hehe, there is nothing to say, in fact, it will be reported in the newspaper in a few days. And Andy Smith, who bought the island of Lainai, will be given as a gift to his fiancee by Lanai ..."

Larry Ellison hung up the phone with a narrow squint in his eyes, quite unexpectedly. He did not expect that the man who had taken Lanai from him would be the youngest rich man in the world, Andy Smith.

To be honest, Larry Ellison doesn't like Andy Smith very much, well, any second-generation born with a golden spoon and a strong background, his late-stage counterattack, he has an instinctive rejection and aversion, which is also The fundamental reason why he has not been accustomed to Bill Gates, who had his family's connoisseur overwhelmed him, and has been pursuing fiercely.

However, for Andy Smith, Larry Ellison also had to inherit the power of this little guy in his heart. As a friend of Jobs, he also learned from Jobs some evaluations and opinions about Andy Smith, which can make Jobs The young man who is disadvantaged and still has to find a way to deal with it will naturally not underestimate him. In some occasions, simply contacting Andy Smith, he can also see that this young man has a mature and completely incompatible age. The city government has to admit that this is another example of elites cultivated by family forces.

"Fxxk, how bad is one after another!" Larry Ellison cursed in a fit of anger, pressing the cigar in his hand hard in the ashtray. Standing up, picking up the suit from the hanger and putting it on, he was going to go to the sun company.
