Chapter 129: A Blow to Jobs

The spotlight for Ellison was given to Miller, the president of Oracle who was also a very popular guest with the media, and of course, when it came to the charm of the lights, he was not as good as Ellison.

Yu Jun took the car to the Jin Mao Building, waited for Miller to finish dealing with the reporters, came out of the back door, and asked Xie Qing to help him pull the car door with a smile.

"Chinese journalists are so enthusiastic." Miller smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for the officials in the city government to help me block it, I wouldn't be able to drag myself out now." ”

"Get used to it," Yu Jun said with a smile, "These people seem to have never seen a big person, and they don't all go up like flies when they see you?" ”

"Do you say that about your fellow citizens?" Miller smiled, "If you're willing to come forward, I don't think I can hide your aura, right?" ”

"Stop flattering each other, Miller," Yu Jun laughed and told Shengdi, Yahoo, and Amazon. Is Oracle interested in actually entering the Internet? ”

Although there are assets and shares such as software stores and Bx America, it does not mean that Oracle has a big voice in the Internet industry, and it is Yahoo and AOL that really have the right to talk about in the United States.

Just like in China, who will care what Dangdang, eBay, and Ali are talking about?

What everyone values is Thunder Online, NetEase, Sina and other portals.

The acquisition of Yahoo and Amazon is definitely an excellent opportunity for Oracle to enter the Internet industry as a whole, although Oracle's market value has also been greatly affected, but the strong sales of software stores can make up for the huge market value losses.

What's more, Oracle intends to make the software store go public in 2oo1, and Oracle will be able to cash out a lot of cash by then.

Besides, there is also Xiling Holdings, which has a high-level cash center, and borrowing is not a big deal.

In the end, Oracle's sales revenue of more than $1oo a year, or the acquisition of Yahoo through a trade-in are not major problems.

As for Shengdie, it is a performance to cooperate with Xiling.

It's important that Oracle is interested in Yahoo and Amazon.

"This is an opportunity," Miller said after a quick mental analysis, "are you going to buy it all out?" In this case, Oracle needs to come up with a lot of shares. ”

Americans are rarely willing to pay real money when acquiring, and share exchange is the most common method, such as the acquisition of HP and Compaq is carried out by share exchange, and at most it is also used to exchange shares and cash, pure cash acquisition is rare, but extremely popular.

Now Yu Jun only has a listed company in hand, not to mention that he has to exchange the shares of any company under Xiling, and he has a feeling that it is not cost-effective.

"As long as you reach a controlling position, Oracle and Xiling can become concerted actors," Yu Jun said with a smile, "3o% and 4o% of the shares are enough to control Yahoo." ”

Yu Jun knows that Yahoo is what really attracts Miller, and Amazon and Shengdi are nothing.

"I had to negotiate with Ellison, I had to get the people below to come up with a plan, I had to talk to Yahoo's shareholders and, of course, the board of directors." Miller muttered.

His so-called communication is actually to touch their thoughts, which is naturally necessary.

Yu Jun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, but I think Shengdi and Amazon can take the lead." ”

Miller laughed: "You have a relationship with Goldman Sachs, IdgVbsp; "Not yet!" Yu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's too late to greet them later, they will also be interested." ”

Sending Miller to the Imperial Capital Hotel, Yu Jun left.

Three days later, Ellison came to Shanghai to attend Oracle's annual meeting, and the vice mayor of Shanghai came to give a speech and greatly praised Ellison and Oracle's contributions to Shanghai's economic construction.

Listening to Yu Jun, who was sitting in the background, was funny, Jinjia International Software Research Institute was in Zhongguancun, and Oracle China was also in Beijing, and its contribution to Shanghai was only to make money by selling software, which could also be regarded as a contribution.

"I heard Miller put forward the idea of acquiring Yahoo, Amazon, and Shengdi, how do you plan for me to cooperate?" Ellison had a glass of champagne in his hand, surrounded by beautiful ladies who wanted to come over to greet him.

When a person's fame and wealth reach a certain level, there is indeed no shortage of women.

"Yahoo is Xiling and Oracle," said Yu Jun, who has dispelled his intention of controlling Yahoo, and is satisfied with analyzing Yahoo's media influence, "Shengdi and Amazon are what I want to get my hands on." ”

"No, Amazon, we're going to take half of each of them." Ellison smiled, "It's too much of a threat to the software store, and if you can get it, it will be of great benefit to the software store's business." ”

"Okay, half each." Yu Jun spread his hands and smiled, "There's nothing you can't do." ”

"By the way, Shengdi is a company that makes flash storage, do you want it to be talented?" Ellison asked.

Yu Jun smiled, took something the size of the same matchbox in his hand, pushed it in front of Ellison, and took out a pair of earplugs: "Try it?" ”

……

Apple's every piece of news in MP3 is touching the nerves of the industry, although it has not been able to see the whole picture, but all kinds of computers, consumer digital magazines have made perfect predictions, this will be an epoch-making product, what the Imperial League failed to do, Apple will do.

The Apple Research Conference on January 1o, 2oo1 naturally attracted most of the attention, but digital product reporters across the United States received a text message that a company called Yunfeng Electronics was going to deploy MP3 products online and offline at the same time.

Sitting in his bright and spacious office, Jobs shrugged off the news relayed by his secretary, and when he heard that the software store also had to be adequately advertised on the homepage, he said to the secretary who walked in: "Ellison is entangled with Chinese capital, can the Chinese design good digital products?" ”

"Of course not," secretarily, "China's level of industrial design is only equivalent to the strength of the United States 2o years ago, and they will never come up with a product that can compete with the Ipod." ”

Jobs lazily said: "The Ipod is an epoch-making product that can make Apple the most talked-about company in the world again, and make one or even two more Apples." ”

Secret: "The latest real products are about to be delivered, and the chief engineer asks you to go down." ”

"Let's go," Jobs stretched and stood up and said, "Let's arrange for someone to take a look, the Chinese's things should also be lively, don't the Chinese love to be lively?" Ha ha! ”

Thinking about the shock that the Ipod would bring to the market, Jobs walked complacently to the center of Shiyàn.

There weren't many people who came, and the media reporters who received the text messages only took it as an April Fool's joke and chose the wrong day. All of them have worked with Bx USA and Blizzard Software, or are interested in cooperating with the Chinese company in the software store.

"There are not as many people as I imagined." Yu Jun glanced at Yu Junhao, who was frowning, and said with a smile.

"Less? Jun Shao. Yu Junhao wanted to cry.

"The evaluation report of the real yàn room of the American "Digital Frontier" has been obtained, but it has not been published yet, so you should have full confidence." Yu Jun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Besides, it's me who wants to take the stage, not you, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Yu Junhao was naturally in a hurry, 5oo million mp3s, and he didn't even find a good supply channel, Yu Jun wanted to come to the United States to hold a conference, and the media didn't have any warm-up, and there were very few people coming.

But to say that Yu Jun is not prepared, that is not necessarily.

For this MP3 called "Lightning", Yu Jun has made preparations for nearly half a year.

Negotiated with Gauss, Philips and other companies for the licensing of audio decoding chips, acquired Langke, msystems, Trek2ooo, made efforts in storage media, acquired BYD's efforts in lithium batteries, negotiated with the American Audiovisual Association on the music channel of the software store, and cooperated with Italian and French industrial design companies in product appearance.

For this moment, Yu Junke did a lot of things.

Even the control system in mp3 is made with a simplified mobile phone system, thinking of the surprise when Ellison got the "lightning" and picked up the earbuds to listen to it, Yu Jun has full confidence.

This guy also snatched the mp3 directly.

"So, it's your turn to take the stage." Ellison tilted his head and said that he was sometimes a little jealous of this guy, and he could always surprise or frighten everyone after slowly laying it out.

Yu Jun walked onto the stage with a smile, and the digital reporters in the United States all looked at this strange Chinese youth.

"Please allow me to introduce a portable digital product that can change everyone's lives like never before," Yu Jun smiled and raised his hand, and the LCD screen behind him appeared "Lightning" mp3 animation, which gave people an amazing feeling as soon as it appeared, compared to the use of microhard disk at least palm-sized mp3, the value flashing on the animation is unbelievable, "This is the world's first mp3 using flash media." ”

The digital reporters who were in the mood to watch the drama all sat up straight.

"Each mp3 is only the size of a matchbox, using a 1.8-inch TFT LCD screen, the buttons are designed to meet the habits of fingers, the memory is up to 512m, can store 5omp3 music, consumers can use guò's own software, pay to download their favorite music in the music channel of the software store, only $12 per music, allowing authorization for five people to share," Yu Jun said with a smile, "In other words, only one person in the family needs to download the music, and they have the right to copy it five times, which can be copied to the father." , brothers, sisters listen, or share with friends. ”

Listening to these words, all the reporters quickly took out their laptops to take notes, and there were countless people who reached out to ask questions.

"Don't worry, everyone, it's not time to ask questions," Yu Jun said with a smile, "Every reporter who comes here will get a free mp3 trial opportunity and have a one-week trial time." Now you will be able to have it for the time being. ”

The staff who were already standing next to the seat handed the MP3 to each of the digital reporters.

No matter how good the eloquence is, it is better to let them experience it for themselves. And under the strict bribery laws in the United States, it can only be tested, not given.

The first of the two changes
