"Zheng Yan, are you sure you're not joking? You know, I'm just an ordinary editor of The Paris Review, and I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be the editor-in-chief in terms of ability and qualifications. ”

The Paris Review is a literary magazine, while the New York Daily News is a massive media company that covers local, social and soft news, as well as major international news. ”

"It is precisely because of the nature of the two that the Paris Review is more rigorous and follows objective facts, while the New York Daily News is different, it started out with a passion for yellow journalism, and although it has been reined in by the boycott, it still likes to write in this way, which is completely inconsistent with my style. ”

Mona Simpson, as a magazine editor, naturally knows a little about the situation of well-known magazines in the United States, and from what she heard, she did not have a very good impression of the New York Daily News.

Zheng Yan doesn't care about whether Mona Simpson has the ability to become editor-in-chief now, but Zheng Yan likes Mona Simpson's attitude very much. The reason why he wanted to buy the "New York Daily News" in the first place was just to hope that there would be a news media under his control, although he did not have time to understand the specific situation, but he had also read the previous periodicals, and 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 ability, which can be cultivated slowly. I'm still young and can afford to wait. Zheng Yan said with a smile.

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

"Forget it, I like what I do. I've been writing novels for a long time, and now my job makes it easier for 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 finally refuses Zheng Yan's invitation.

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

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

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

Larry Ellison, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, although there were snowflakes in the sky, he still drove the car fast, and Zheng Yan was terrified to watch.

"You have to trust my skills, not to mention a car, even if you give me an airplane, as long as I am the pilot, I will definitely be able to ensure your safety. ”

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

"Larry, I think you should really learn from Steve and start a family quickly, so that you will have a concern and will cherish your life even more. ”

"Oh no, I still have to enjoy my life, and I don't want to give up a forest for a tree again. Of course, if I meet the tree that can tie me up one day, I will still be willing to start a family, but at the moment, the tree that can tie me has not yet appeared. ”

Larry Ellison lives up to his name as a playboy, and at no time has he shied away from his love for beautiful women.

"Don't talk about me, what about yourself? I also read the report about you, what happened to you? Do your two girlfriends in Huaxia know?"

Because Zheng Yan's trip to San Francisco was completely improvised, An Ran and Li Yanran did not follow, and the two stayed in Hong Kong City for a few days, dealt with the affairs of their small company, and then went directly to New York from Hong Kong City. If it weren't for that, Larry Ellison wouldn't have been so brazen when he spoke.

"You are embarrassed to say that you have made me miserable, you know? The original report about me was also transmitted back to Hong Kong City, and then they killed me directly from Hong Kong City without consulting me. It's good that I'm clever enough, otherwise I'd be done with the game. ”

Zheng Yan and Lisa's acquaintance can be said to be the thread drawn by Larry Elison, except for the last time he faced An Ran, it was a little dangerous, but overall it was not bad.

"And then? Did you choose Lisa or your original girlfriend?"

"I'm not like you, since it's my woman, of course I'm responsible for them..."

When talking about this, Zheng Yan was quite proud in her heart, and then told Larry Ellison about the matter, even including the fact that Lisa was pregnant.

"Oh my God, you mean to say that they accepted each other's existence? ”

Although Larry Ellison likes to hunt for beauty, he never wants to have several women at the same time, or when several people know that they exist with each other. He does have a lot of women, but at the same time, he will only date one person.

"Nothing is impossible, it depends on personal charisma, of course you can't. If you don't believe me, the next time you go to New York, you can go to my house and see for yourself, and we'll live together now. Okay, don't be surprised, we're at the place, let's get off first. ”

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

"By the way, according to what you just said, you're going to be a dad soon?"

Larry Ellison was just surprised, completely ignoring Zheng Yan's mention that Lisa was pregnant, and finally remembered it after getting out of the car.

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

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

There is a saying in Sicily, Italy: the world is too dangerous, and a child must have two fathers. Therefore, when the child reaches a certain age, the father of the child will ask a local person of prestige and authority or a friend 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 his character and prestige, and on the other hand, it is also a testimony of friendship between adults. Larry Ellison has been criticized in various ways, so no one wants him to be the godfather of his children.

"Larry, I'm not a Catholic, and I'm not going to let my children become Catholics in the future. Besides, I don't want my child to be a playboy like you in the future, if it's a boy, it's okay to say, if it's a girl, I can't imagine it. ”

"It has nothing to do with whether I believe in religion or not, I'm not a believer myself, aren't we friends, I just think it will deepen our friendship with each other. As for your fear that your children will be influenced by me, don't forget that I am only criticized for one aspect, and a large part of the reason is jealousy. ”

Seeing that Zheng Yan did not directly refuse, Larry Ellison felt that there was something wrong with the matter, even if Zheng Yan was worried about him in terms of behavior, he did not get angry, but continued to do Zheng Yan's work.

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I reluctantly agreed. But Larry, we have to talk about it first, and when the child is older, you can't pass on your lax problems to him. Especially if you have a problem with your heart, it is not good. ”

"You are embarrassed to say that I am very careful, but at least I am not like you, looking for four wives at a time. If you want to say that your children will be affected in the future, it will also be affected by you, what does it have to do with me. ”

“...”

Seeing that Zheng Yan had agreed, Larry Ellison no longer whispered. It was Zheng Yan, who faced Larry Ellison's questioning, but didn't know how to refute it.

"Since I'm your child's godfather, we're family, don't forget what I told you. After surviving last year's crisis, Oracle has started to make a profit in the first quarter of this year, and the company's stock price has begun to recover. ”

"If at this time, the company launches mature enterprise management software, it will be able to quickly seize the market, so that the company's stock price will return to the highest time last year, maybe it will be able to break through the original stock price, even if it is an opportunity to surpass Microsoft, it is not impossible..."

Zheng Yan saw that Larry Ellison was getting more and more excited, and couldn't help but say: "Larry, I've told you everything, I still need to think about this matter, besides, the company is not my own, I also need to discuss it 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 been involved in the management of the company in the past few years. Speaking of which, my friends have a deeper affection for the company than I do. If they don't want to sell, there's nothing I can do. ”

It is rare for Tang Hao to be so concerned about the company's affairs, and they gradually like the company's management work, Zheng Yan doesn't want to disappoint them. Tang Hao, Dong Chuan and Zhao Weimin don't attach much importance to money, but Zheng Yan can see that they attach great importance to the company they have worked so hard to create.

"Well, you just have to remember it. By the way, Cisco has taken care of things, when are you going to go back to New York?"

"Tomorrow, the matter here is taken care of, and the stay is not short, if it weren't for Steve's wedding, I would have wanted to go back a long time ago. ”

Now that An Ran and Li Yanran have returned to New York, Zheng Yan doesn't want to stay any longer, and he has to discuss the merger of the company with Oracle with Tang Hao and others.
