"Larry, what do you think I said about buying Sun?" Zhou Shi asked casually

"Sun, they're not cheap, can you afford it?" Larry Ellison said unceremoniously, this is indeed Zhou Shi's weakness, he has almost no listed companies, and there is not much room for capital operation. Moreover, it is difficult to reach a conclusion on the valuation of Time Friends, and it is impossible to form a unified consensus: stock price.

"Just because I don't have money doesn't mean that others don't have money. I wonder if the next time I meet Larry, another legend in Silicon Valley, I need to express my thoughts on the rights and ownership of Java. Zhou Shi quietly fought back, for discrimination, it is useless to be angry.

Sun is a leader in open network computing, advocating for networking and computers, and is the world's largest supplier of UNIX systems. The main products include the UltraSPARC series of workstations, servers and storage computer hardware systems, as well as the Solaris operating system and the Java series of general development tools and application software. Especially java, which is an essential part of Google Android, although Java is still open source and free software, but as long as it is supported by Oracle, the development of things will definitely not be easy. The other Larry that Zhou Shi and Ellison are talking about here is Google's Larry Page.

"I'm not interested in Java that doesn't make any money. "Larry Ellison

"Don't worry, Sun still has servers!" Zhou Shi, Oracle will never be interested in Sun's hardware department, Oracle is a very pure software company, this is something that everyone knows. Zhou Shi said this to ironize Larry Ellison. At the end of the day, Java is the fat that attracts a lot of people. Microsoft paid $1.4 billion in 2004 in order to get a commercial license for Java, and Google had to pay some blood for using Java.

When Zhou Shi left Oracle, he had a smug smile on his face, this time the cooperation with Ellison should be considered stable, Oracle will propose acquisition negotiations to Sun, whether Ellison has ideas about MySQL or not, it doesn't matter. Sun, who has no idea for the best, and has been pinched on the back, will almost certainly pull out of the takeover talks. Assuming Oracle has an idea, that's fine, the threat of antitrust, and the hatred of open-source software elites for closed-source software giants like Oracle, are enough to offset many of Time's weaknesses.

The acquisition of Yelp went well, at least there was no explicit rejection. Zhou Shi didn't want to wait any longer, and directly made an appointment with Jeremy Stalllman and Russell Simmons.

"You should have learned about my personality from other friends, and I should be friends with you PayPal gangsters, even LinkedIn has my investment!" Although Zhou Shi is still very peaceful, the silent oppression has begun.

"Then why not invest in us, but buy it outright?" Stupleman

"It's about my future strategic direction, and Yelp is a great addition to it, and I'm going to invest a huge amount of money to start a new venture. "Zhou Shi

"So you're going to end up in person, and Yelp has value that we didn't find!" Stolperman said

"The same thing is worth different things in different hands, and you who can make good use of resources may not be able to do it. Zhou Shi was unmoved

"Even if we can't find it and use it, a big guy like Sequoia won't miss it, they have this ability. "Simmons

"Yes, they may have the ability, but it obviously makes more sense to base on recommendations and reviews from acquaintances, and if I use the promotion of a friend network, Yelp has no ability to resist this risk. "Zhou Shi is not a salty threat

"What exactly are you going to do when you buy Yelp?" Stolperman hesitated for a moment, and had some idea of compromise. Zhou Shi will not be weaker than them not only in terms of capital but also in terms of technical strength, if the two sides are dead, the one who loses will definitely be the one with less money. Even if Zhou Shi himself doesn't have much money, his success allows him to gain more trust. Stallleman and Simmons don't enjoy that kind of superstar treatment.

"Only after signing the contract will it be revealed, now ......" Although Zhou Shi felt that it was nothing, but his acquisition team didn't let him say it, so he didn't say it, anyway, these two people are just small shrimps, and they don't have much choice. "The only thing I can say is that I want to change the world! This is the first step in changing the world and changing people's lives."

MD, Zhou Shi brags unbridledly, but these people still eat this set. A rich man, a tech tycoon who has not yet begun to corrupt and degenerate, it is not strange to have such an idea, but it is strange not to have such an idea. Although the two were not very satisfied with Zhou Shi's reply, they were barely acceptable. The United States is not a Chinese country, and even on formal occasions, it is not uncommon for people to brag. Too many plutocratic politicians promise that after they make a promise, it's like a fart and they don't even remember it. Whether it is integrity or rules, it is a sharp weapon used by the upper elite of the United States to restrict ordinary people, because no matter what kind of law is not as good as the moral shackles in the heart, it is more than a hundred times better for everyone to consciously abide by the law than to threaten with the law!

"We still have a disagreement about the price of Yelp!" said Stopelman

"It's not my responsibility, you guys talk about it yourself, but I won't wait too long, everything must be negotiated this month, or I will start from scratch myself!"

"Good!good~~" Stallman was shocked by Zhou Shi's inadvertent domineering. Zhou Shi also chatted with the two about other things, including the PayPal past, and their friendship.

"Yingying, how is the acquisition of Dianping!" Zhou Shi asked through MM

"Although I became a shareholder of Dianping before, I also communicated with their management. But his founder, Zhang Tao, had no idea of selling the company. "Li Ying

"That is, he is unwilling, is it the price or the ideal?" Zhou Shi

"Maybe both!" Li Ying

"Contacting Lei Jun and asking him to come forward directly to negotiate with other investors such as Sequoia is really not a compulsory acquisition. Zhou Shi has no likes or dislikes for hostile takeovers, as long as the goal can be achieved, some slightly out-of-the-ordinary practices are still accepted by him by default.

"Okay, I got it. "Li Ying

"Act quickly, buy me as soon as possible so that you can start work early. If Zhang Tao and the others are willing to stay in office and let him come to Silicon Valley, I will personally arrange their next step. "Zhou Shi

"It seems that you really want to buy Dianping.com?" Li Ying

"Well, they can play a big role. "Zhou Shi

"I can't wait, I really want to see in advance what kind of project you have been holding back for so long?" Li Ying was a little excited

"Didn't I tell you?" Zhou Shi was puzzled

"That's just your initial idea, it's different when you actually make it. "Li Ying

"Possibly! I hope you don't get down. "Zhou Shi

"You've never disappointed ......"

Pig's feet are now working in the direction of the chaebol, just like Samsung Group, he just needs to grasp the general direction of all enterprises.
