Chapter 488: An Agreement is reached
Will not give up voting?
Hearing Jester say that, Larry. Ellison furrowed his eyebrows, but he quickly let go, as Jester indicated that he would not occupy a position in the future Oracle company, which also made Larry . Ellison relieved himself a little.
But that's not enough.
However, Jester made concessions, and Ellison felt he couldn't be too unreasonable.
After all, Jester finally flipped the table and slapped it in two, for them, it was almost an unbearable loss, of course, what Jester said was just the plan he was going to carry out next, and it was not carried out now: Pig: Pig: Island: Novel 3W., even if Da Mo knew about it, there was nothing he could do.
However, if Da Mo has a defense, then he may lose his heart and soul forever.
In fact, the reason why Jester is interested in Larry. Ellison retreated like this, but he didn't want the other party to regard himself as an enemy, like an enemy like Da Mo, because he invested in Oracle because he wanted to really cooperate with the other party, not to compete with the other party about who was the owner of Oracle.
Jester said that, he kept his mouth shut.
He's waiting for Larry. Ellison's reply.
But Larry. Ellison no longer had the same talkative attitude as he had when they first met, as if he had nothing to say, and now he had become a little cautious, and after hearing what Jester had said, he kept frowning and thinking about something.
Finally, Ellison spoke.
"Mr. Li, I know your eagerness to cooperate, but we also have our own concerns, if we can guarantee that in the future, your shares will receive at least five percent more dividends, then can you give up your right to vote?"
After all that is said. Larry. Ellison was also a little embarrassed, and his face became a little embarrassed.
After all, Jester had already stated that it was impossible for him to give up his right to vote, and now that he made such a request, it was obviously a bit shameless.
Sure enough, when Jester heard this, he changed color.
"Mr. Ellison, with all due respect, I have come to talk about cooperation sincerely. As you know, it's very easy for me to quietly eat your shares without notifying you or to negotiate with Da Mo when you are halfway through your plan. ”
Jester said with a blank face, and Ellison had no way to see what Jester really thought.
"However, I contacted you once a few months ago to give you all my thoughts. What I want is that we can work together, not be rivals or enemies - I am different from Da Mo, and Oracle is yours. I can guarantee that. ”
"But your so-called advice on my right to give up my voting rights, I have no way to agree."
After Jester finished speaking, he had already stood up and looked directly at Larry from top to bottom with a cold gaze. Ellison. Then he held out a hand towards Ellison.
"If Mr. Ellison is still the same attitude as before, then I don't think we have anything to talk about."
And Ellison looked at Jester. Countless thoughts flashed through my heart in an instant.
In fact, he forgot one thing, although this time in the secret talk, Jester has always made concessions, but the initiative in this matter has always been in Jester's hands, not in their hands.
So, Ellison immediately stood up.
Stretched out two hands to hold Jester's hand, and did not say goodbye or anything like that, but said with a smile: "Mr. Li misunderstood, we are just expressing our views and seeking common ground while reserving differences, so can you tell me now, how many shares of Oracle do you want?" ”
Jester and Ellison weren't worried that their financing request would not get a deal from the big one.
Because the current oracle is indeed exaggerated at a somewhat scary speed, the amount of money needed can be called a vehicle bucket, someone is willing to invest, they are naturally very happy, after all, this can also share the risk they have to take, of course, they can't sell all the shares of Oracle, what they want is financing.
Because in their eyes, although they don't know much about what the Internet age is.
But now Oracle's almost doubling of its revenue in a year and equally impressive profits, the vast majority of which have been invested in market expansion, can still give greedy investors a glimpse of Oracle's potential in the future.
Therefore, financing is a good thing for them to liquidate, but it is not advisable to sell all the shares in their hands.
However, it is not so easy to find a financing partner that satisfies both parties.
Even if they wanted to continue to raise funds themselves, it was unrealistic to dilute the shares in the hands of Ellison's four founders, and they mentioned it several times, but they were all rejected by the other party without hesitation.
Jester heard Ellison say that, and he sat back down.
Actually, he was tempted to say that the more the better.
But he also knew that at this time, it was better not to provoke Ellison, if he wanted to take too many shares, then it would inevitably make the other party think, so Jester just smiled faintly: "This matter is not something I can take as much as I want." ”
Jester paused slightly, then continued to smile at Ellison.
"The point is, how much do you want me to occupy."
Hearing Jester's answer, Ellison's eyes flashed, he understood what Jester meant, he wanted to reassure him completely, he had absolutely no idea of keeping the oracle for himself, of course, since Jester kicked the ball back, Ellison didn't want to be too stingy.
It's not that he doesn't want to be stingy, it's that he's afraid he'll be too stingy and anger Jester again.
If the talks did fall apart, for Jester, he would just lose a chance to work with him that he had hoped for, but for Ellison, it would almost be the same as losing Oracle.
"Ten percent."
Ellison hesitated, but he gave a number.
Jester's eyebrows jumped when he heard this number, and he looked at his Ellison again, he himself did not expect that Ellison would report such a number that he had not expected, because this number was much better than he thought.
You know, even the other three co-founders of Ellison, not all of them have a 10% stake.
What's more, there are still some shares circulating in the stock market.
"It's a big deal."
Jester just praised like this, and after Ellison finished speaking, he became a lot more relaxed, he leaned back slightly, as if he was a little tired from leaning forward before, he looked at Jester and asked: "I don't know how much money your Excellency paid to get this ten percent of the shares?" ”
"Huh."
Jester didn't answer directly, he quickly regained his composure, and he chuckled as usual, and asked casually.
"Mr. Ellison, can you make this decision? You know, the financing of 10% of the shares is not talkative. With that, Jester looked directly at Ellison, hoping to see something in the change in the expression on the other man's face.
But it's a pity.
Ellison was still smiling indifferently.
"Mr. Li thinks too much, the four of us can make a decision, as for Da Mo, he will convince them, what I want to ask now is, how much money can Your Excellency contribute for this ten percent, this is the most important thing, otherwise, how can I convince those people of Da Mo? They think of Oracle as a hen that lays golden eggs. ”
As he spoke, Ellison couldn't help but sneer twice.
"So, it's not easy to impress them."
Jester didn't reply, but looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then he stood up again.
"Mr. Ellison, money is not an issue, I would like to talk about it when you meet with the people on the Damo side, do you understand what I mean? I've got a bit of a personal matter, so I'll talk about it today. With that, Jester reached out to Larry again. Ellison, with a smile, said.
"I hope we have a good time together."
Hearing Jester's answer, Ellison was naturally dissatisfied.
Moreover, Ellison is not a moody person, his heart is very open, although he is a little dissatisfied with Jester did not answer in the end, he still smiled and shook Jester's hand.
"I also hope that we have a good time working together."
After leaving, Jester was also relieved, he knew that the matter of his desire to take a stake in Oracle was almost half over, and the most difficult part of this matter was to convince Ellison that he had no ill will towards his control of Oracle.
As long as he can do this, then how much money will be spent on financing, this is not a matter for him at all.
Now he doesn't have much else, but a lot of money.
Jester didn't go back to the company, but returned home, as for what he said, he was actually lying to Ellison, because he knew that when it came to that point, since Ellison had compromised, then he was still short of the last kick, and this last kick was the approval of Da Mo.
After all, financing is not something that Ellison's four founding teams can all decide.
Claudia temporarily returned to the UK, and her work had actually been handed over, but because there was still a negotiation with Ubisoft, it was more appropriate for Claudia to go in person.
And after Claudia dealt with the matter, it was almost time for Jester to get married. (To be continued......)
