The day after Zheng Yan arrived in San Francisco, Bill Miller went to Cisco to handle the share transfer with Leonard, while Zheng Yan made an appointment with Larry Ellison and Jobs.

Although Larry Ellison is notoriously crazy, he has a good relationship with Zheng Yan, and coupled with the cooperative relationship between the two parties, he is already one of Zheng Yan's future partners. As for Jobs, although he is still at a low point in his life, and his next computer company is also in turmoil, the future is definitely the biggest bull among the bulls, and it is also the object that Zheng Yan can win over in the next 20 years.

Larry Ellison was going to come over to pick up Zheng Yan in person, but Zheng Yan refused, and directly asked the hotel to send a car to send him to Larry Ellison's residence.

Although Larry Ellison owns a lot of real estate in the world, it has not yet reached that level, and his current residence in San Francisco is luxurious, but it is not yet luxurious, just a villa with a good environment.

"Oh, Zheng Yan, my friend, I'm so glad you remember me. After seeing Zheng Yan, Larry Ellison hurriedly greeted him.

Larry Ellison was really happy to meet Zheng Yan in San Francisco. Originally, it was just a simple cooperative relationship between the two, but since the last time they got along for a while, he has regarded Zheng Yan as his friend. Larry Ellison makes friends on the one hand to see ability, but the most important thing is to look at temper, if the temper is wrong, everything else is useless, his relationship with Bill Gates is the best example.

"Larry, Steve, long time no see. ”

Before asking Larry Ellison and Jobs, Zheng Yan was sure that Larry Ellison would entertain him, but he was not sure about Jobs' attitude, and seeing Jobs was also there, Zheng Yan was very happy.

"By the way, I'll introduce you to some, this is Lauren, Steve's fiancée. It's really time for you to come, it's Steve's wedding in a few days, and since you're here yourself, I won't let you know about it, just stay here for a while longer, and attend their wedding. ”

Zheng Yan had long noticed the woman next to Jobs, and also guessed the relationship between the two, but he didn't expect that they would get married soon.

"Steve, congratulations. ”

"Thank you, but you don't have to listen to Larry's nonsense, you must have a lot of things to do, don't let my wedding delay your own affairs. ”

It can be seen that Jobs is in a very good mood, but his relationship with Zheng Yan is not as familiar as Larry Ellison after all, so it is not so casual.

"Steve, don't be deceived by Zheng Yan's outside, if it is in terms of assets, he is definitely far superior to us, but if you want to say who is the most leisurely, it is definitely him. At least I've known him for so long, and I haven't seen him work. ”

Speaking of Zheng Yan's work, Larry Ellison is very jealous. Zheng Yan has a lot of assets in his name, but most of them are investments, and Zheng Yan doesn't care about them at all, but the assets are increasing like a snowball. Only the Yanhuang Investment, which was run by himself, was also handed over to Bill Miller, unless he encountered a major event, Zheng Yan usually didn't ask, and he was completely an idler.

"Larry, we have a saying in China, the upper one works hard, the middle one works hard, and the lower one works, since someone can help me make money, why should I bother my brains? I want to enjoy life while I am young, otherwise when I am old, I will have no chance to enjoy it. ”

Jobs knew the relationship between Zheng Yan and Larry Ellison, and he also knew Larry Ellison's temper, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zheng Yan said, but Lauren on the side was startled. She knew Larry Ellison's character, and it would be strange if she didn't explode when she heard this, but it was completely unexpected.

"Although I am very unconvinced, I have to admit that I am really inferior to you in this regard. The outside world thinks I'm living a chic life, of course, it's just my own opinion, they should think I'm profligate and obsessed with enjoyment, but compared to you, I'm really nothing. ”

"Okay Larry, you don't have to envy Zheng Yan, really speaking, the hardest three of us are me. ”

Jobs has been holding his breath since he was kicked out of Apple, and later founded Next Computer Company, and he didn't have the idea of fighting Apple. So in the past few years, he has devoted himself to work, and he is the hardest of the three, but even so, the result is still unsatisfactory.

"Steve, hearing you say that, my mood suddenly felt so much better. Larry Ellison said with a smile.

"By the way, Zheng Yan, why did you suddenly come to San Francisco? Don't say that you came to see us, I don't think we have such a big charm. ”

Hearing Larry Ellison's question, Jobs was also interested. With Zheng Yan's current worth and his reputation in the investment world, his every move is very eye-catching, and he will definitely not appear in one place for no reason.

"This time it was Leonard who asked me to come. You're also his friend, and you should know that Cisco has had some problems lately, and he's ready to sell his shares and leave Cisco. I've always been interested in the Internet industry, and you don't know it, and since Leonard contacted me, I naturally wanted to buy it. ”

Although Zheng Yan will not mention this kind of thing in public, there is no need to hide it from Larry Ellison and Jobs, both of whom know the stakes and will never talk nonsense.

"I didn't expect him to come this far, in fact, I knew before that, and he also looked for me, but unfortunately I don't have so much money in my hands, otherwise I would have eaten his shares. ”

Larry Ellison didn't know how far Cisco would develop, but he believed in Zheng Yan's vision, but the accident of Oracle last year made him consume too much money, and he was powerless at all.

In fact, for Leonard, leaving Cisco is not a good thing, the contradictions between him and the company's management have become irreconcilable, even if he stays, he can't control the company, rather than stay in the company and be angry, it is better to quit early. And just in time to take a break, after he sold his shares, he got enough cash to squander. No matter what you want to do in the future, you don't have to worry about money. ”

Originally, Zheng Yan and Larry Ellison were talking about Leonard, but Jobs was listening to it more and more unpleasantly. At least so far, he and Leonard have the same fate, they were both forced to leave the company he created, but he didn't know that he still had a chance to turn over, and Leonard didn't.
