Chapter 458: A Call to Larry

Moreover, the difference is still very large.

At that time, Diablo jumped tickets for Battle.net because it had already started a long period of Battle.net preparations, and the situation Blizzard faced at that time was only because these preparations were not completed as scheduled.

And he is now building a battle net from scratch.

Of course, the era is different, and it is impossible to compare with the network technology six years later, naturally, the initial Battle.net that Jester envisioned is far less great than what Blizzard wants to do in "Diablo", and what he wants to do now is just to make a prototype of Battle.net and make technical reserves for the future.

At least for now, in the foreseeable three years, Jester has no intention of officially launching the battle.net he envisioned.

But not officially launching does not mean that he will not do it, not to test, no one to use it - only by using it can he find the problem in it, and in these three years, he can continue to increase the number of testers to carry out the inevitable stress tests in future game testing.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get.

Jester simply threw the pen in his hand, then stood up.

The release date of "Age of Empires" is set for Christmas, and it is already late November, and it may be a little too late to make changes in the current finished version and add content about Battle.net.

It's a bit of a no-brainer, because it's just a test.

Picking up the phone, Jester quickly dialed a number, and after the phone was connected, Jester said into the receiver: "Yuxiujun, charter a plane, and then you let the headquarters inside, about the main creator of "Age of Empires". Including Sid. Mel, I'm coming to Japan tomorrow, and I have something very important to discuss with them. ”

Jester was going to junior high school next month, and he didn't want to spend too much time on the plane before he went, so he decided to ask the creators of "Age of Empires" to come to Japan once, and in Japan, he had a good talk with the creators to see how to deal with this problem.

Instead of him flying back and not going to make a trip.

After all, the owner of his company. Of course, you can use some privileges that you want and want, and this is understandable.

After putting down the phone, Jester thought for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, and he dialed Tamahide Yoshiro again: "Tamahide, contact the Japanese Oracle company and say that I want to talk to Larry. Ellison meets with the meaning as for Larry. Ellison didn't see each other. You don't need to bother. ”

The next day, while Jester's charter plane was still crossing the Pacific, he received an unexpected phone call.

It was Larry who called. Ellison.

Jester once met Larry at a charity gala. Ellison side. But Larry. Ellison is really not a big man now, and in Silicon Valley, a company that earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year is not much. But there are also a lot, for example, his Mars Entertainment, which has a turnover of nearly 10 billion dollars a year.

In Larry. Ellison's eyes. Jester is a true powerhouse in the industry.

In fact, when he had just received the report from the Japanese branch, he had just rolled the sheets with a few third-rate Hollywood stars all night, and his eyes were a little sleepy, and he was still a little annoyed and wanted to scold the caller, but when he heard that it was Jester who wanted to meet him, he suddenly sobered up.

Of course he knew Jester. Lee's, this in the United States in recent years, he is an unscrupulous legend, even the previous man of the year Bill. Gates, who would have backed away from his rays, if it weren't for Bill. Gates relied on the release of the series this year, the stock price has risen sharply, and his value has surpassed Jester, and I am afraid that Jester will continue to be his world's richest diamond king.

However, as far as he knows, the current Bill. Although Gates is not married, the industry knows that he has a hot fight with a woman in his company, and he has basically reached the point of talking about marriage, and the marriage will be within one or two years. And Jester. Lee's private life is relatively secretive, and apart from those close to him, few people know about his private life.

But he still said it, Jester. Lee also has a girlfriend, but is an Englishman.

These are the minutiae, Larry. Ellison was conceited, but his favorite was people like him, who dropped out of college, couldn't get a degree, but achieved extraordinary things, and Jester was the standard person.

Besides, he also knew that Jester and Sandy. Will has a lot of connections, and has been doing a lot of things on Wall Street lately, especially after Black Monday. Will is planning to restructure the company, and it is very likely that Jester has a large stake in the company.

This is the big man he has to look at.

Although he is indeed thinking about how to pit JPMorgan Chase now, he only dares to do it secretly, and he knows that his current self is still far from these real cannibal predators.

Of course, such days will not be long.

As long as the thing he is planning now can be completed perfectly, and he can get the shares that originally belonged to him from JPMorgan Chase, then the company of Oracle will completely belong to him, as long as he has Oracle in hand, he will have the largest capital.

Those investment experts at JPMorgan Chase do not see the potential of Oracle in the future, that is because oracle7 is still under secret development, as long as his oracle7 can be successfully developed in the future, then even if Oracle's stock completely falls to the bottom next year, he will not be afraid.

Because he knew that as long as there was oracle 7, then oracle would definitely make a comeback in a very short time.

But for Larry. Ellison, Jester. What did Lee want to see him for?

For business?

The question is, how much business does a video game company need? If his company needs to build a database, then it is enough to talk directly to the branch, and it is not a big deal, and he can't see himself at all.

But this time, the other party wanted to meet him by name, and it would definitely not be such a simple thing as business.

Of course, it's just Larry. Ellison had been thinking about things in his head for a short time, and he made his decision when he got dressed and left his bedroom, went to the garage, and drove to the company in the latest Ferrari he had just bought.

See.

After arriving at the company, he immediately asked people to contact Oracle's branch in Japan, and after asking for the phone number of Mars Entertainment's Japanese branch, he personally dialed the other party.

So there was the scene that Jester had unexpectedly before.

"Jester. Mr. Lee, I'm Larry. Ellison, although it is a bit presumptuous to say that I suddenly gave you this call, but I am really curious, logically speaking, although both of us are making software, but I do the number of libraries, and the games you make, the probability that the two can be linked together is not very high. ”

Inside the earpiece, because it is an international long distance, the sound is a little distorted.

Jester had heard of Larry. Ellison's voice, although the voice in the earpiece was a little distorted, he could still hear it, it was similar to the Larry Essen he had heard before. Ellison's voice was somewhat similar.

But Larry. Ellison's voice is very humble, it seems that he has put himself on a relatively low level, not at all as arrogant and arrogant as the rumors, his eyes are empty, and he can understand it when he thinks about it, he can be in Silicon Valley, of course, he knows what kind of person he should lower his posture in front of him, and what kind of person he should be proud of.

Jester hears Larry. Ellison's eyebrows furrowed after his words.

He doesn't know how to talk to Larry. Ellison said that this matter, directly debunking the ghost tricks that the other party is doing now? Threaten that if he doesn't cooperate with him, he will make a small report like JPMorgan Chase, so that he can't eat and walk around?

The thought just flashed through his mind.

In less than half a second, Jester drove it out of his mind.

He is a capitalist, and he is a big capitalist, and everything he does, except for the influence of personal likes and dislikes, is based on interests.

For example, he threatened Larry. Ellison's matter, this is more than worth the loss, because even Larry. Ellison was completely crippled by JPMorgan Chase, and he didn't get the slightest benefit for himself, and all the benefits were taken away by JPMorgan Chase, so why bother with such an idle matter?

After thinking about it, Jester felt that it seemed to be a better choice to explain his intentions directly to the other party.

So, Jester only paused slightly, and these thoughts quickly flashed through his mind: "Larry. Mr. Ellison, this is actually just a private matter, and I am personally very optimistic about the future of Oracle, so I would like to meet with you and discuss with you the ...... I want to invest in Oracle."

But before Jester could finish speaking, the voice coming from the other side of the earpiece suddenly became sharp.

And this time Larry. Ellison's tone was also devoid of the previous deference.

Instead, it has an unceremonious taste. (To be continued......)
