And then Larry. How did Ellison give a speech to more than a thousand Yale students?

His speech was very sarcastic and very Larry. Ellison's style, that arrogant, arrogant, empty-eyed character, was undoubtedly displayed in this speech.

Jester remembers very well that passage when he said it.

“…… Why, should I, Ellison, a dropout, spread heresy so brazenly in America's most prestigious institution? I'll tell you why. Because, I, Ellison, the second richest man on this planet, am a dropout, and you're not. Because Bill Gates, the richest man on the planet - for now - is a dropout, and you are not. Because Allen, the third richest person on this planet, also dropped out of school, and you didn't. A little more proof, because Dale, the ninth-richest man on the planet - he's still rising in the rankings, and he's a dropout. And you, not. ”

"You guys are understandably frustrated. You will need these useful work habits in the future. You will need this 'treatment' in the future. You need them because you didn't drop out of school, so you're never going to be the richest person in the world. Oh sure, you could, maybe, progress to 10th, 11th in your way, like Steve. Ballmer. I didn't tell you who he was working for, though, did I? According to records, he dropped out of graduate school and became enlightened a little later. ”

There was another part of his speech later, but Jester didn't remember it clearly.

This passage was very impressive for him at the time, and of course, at Yale, in the United States, an institution that can be compared to Harvard, certainly could not tolerate this kind of heresy. Ellison was only halfway through the speech, maybe not even halfway.

He was thrown out by the furious Yale side and asked the security guards to throw him out.

However, this half of his speech has been widely circulated, and has become a biblical thing, or creed, for many teenagers in the second and second years of secondary school.

"Is it feasible to buy Oracle now?"

Jester wrote such a paragraph on the white paper again, but soon, he crossed out this sentence, this is indeed not a reliable plan, not to mention that the current Oracle is not what it used to be, you know, when Oracle was listed in 86 years, their annual income skyrocketed to 1000000000000 dollars.

And in March of the year they went public, they raised more than $30 million.

The following year, in 1987, their revenue doubled to $130 million, and by '87, they became the world's fourth-largest software company, and in '88, that is, last year, according to their financial reports, their revenue doubled again.

reached a terrifying $280 million.

This year, their business has expanded again, although the annual report has not yet been released, but it can be expected that the revenue will double again, it is inevitable that the acquisition of Oracle at this time, and Larry. Ellison couldn't have given up his shares.

What's more, Larry. Ellison is no ordinary man.

In later life, he was revered as the person who was born with the most astute investor's means, you know, now he is fighting with Oracle's venture capital, the whole Wall Street, and even the whole world is like a behemoth, although the two sides have not yet decided the winner, but Jester knows that this victory and defeat will be able to be divided soon.

The final victor was none other than Larry. Ellison.

This fierce man who even dares to pit Xiang and has nothing to do, wants to pick up cheap from his hands and detect leaks, and there is no difference between stealing peaches from Pan Tao Garden.

Unless you're Monkey King, don't even think about it.

"Acquisition next year?"

After Jester crossed out the above sentence of the current acquisition of Oracle, he thought for a while, and then wrote this sentence in the back, and the reason why he said this is because next year, Larry. Ellison's fight with Da Mo will be divided into winners and losers, and the means to distinguish winners and losers is Larry. Ellison caused the market value of the entire Oracle to plummet by 80 percent in the next year.

This is an opportunity.

Jester knew that this opportunity was very difficult, and this was almost the only chance in the future to gain a sufficient voice within the oracle, otherwise......

Soon, however, Jester crossed out the words "next year's acquisition".

Two words were rewritten.

Become a shareholder.

Jester felt that he had thought something wrong from the beginning, in fact, if he just wanted to get the most favorable support from the number of jù ku, there was no need to buy the other party into his own hands, because Larry. Ellison is a very arrogant and arrogant person, this kind of person, who will never be subservient.

He was able to accept Da Mo's venture capital only because he needed the venture capital at the time.

And after the oracle bone development and growth, he even dares to pit Da Mo, how can there be anything he doesn't dare? As long as I dare to reach out to Oracle, I'm afraid it will be with Larry. Ellison's undying situation.

What if it's just a stake or a partnership?

Jester fell into deep thought at this time for Larry. Ellison definitely needs allies, because he is now planning to deal with the largest consortium in the world - JPMorgan Chase!

Thinking of this, Jester looked at the various handwritings that had been disorganized by himself, then tossed the paper aside, and pulled out a piece of paper again, ready to continue writing something on it—for Jester, this was his habit of thinking, and this habit was also extremely useful.

You know, after completely driving Da Mo's forces out of Oracle, in just over a year and less than two years, Larry. Ellison reverted to nearly $1.2 billion in annual revenue.

This is a very scary number.

Thinking of this, Jester wrote his new self on the blank white paper.

“Oracle7。”

Although Jester is not an expert in the number of libraries, he has heard of this legendary software name in the entire history of Oracle, and even in the entire history of the library, that is, in 92, the official launch of Oracle 7 saved Oracle from the quagmire.

Later generations said that next year's collapse in Oracle's stock price was seen as Larry. Ellison's so-called, as for why, it is because Oracle's stock price plummeted very suddenly, just like Oracle's previous business all over the world was paralyzed at the same time and could not receive the task.

This is very inconsistent with the normal law of business development.

And the second one, it's Larry. Ellison became the biggest beneficiary of the incident.

If this really is all Larry. Ellison operated this qiē words behind the scenes, and then Jester had to admire Larry. Ellison's courage, you must know that it is not something that ordinary people have the courage to do to make the stock price of a company with good development momentum plummet and fall into the abyss.

But if the stock price does not fall into the abyss, then it is impossible for Da Mo to withdraw from Oracle.

Now there is a very critical question, that is, whether Oracle7 was developed after Da Mo divested, or before Da Mo divested, it is very promising that the research and development will be successful.

Jester is personally bullish on the second point.

Wait for the position to change if you will talk to Larry. Ellison's position was reversed, and if he didn't have anything to rely on, then he would never dare to do it.

It's very simple, if you don't do this, you're still a billionaire, and if you do, you're likely to become a poor bastard.

For Larry. This is especially true for Ellison, because the first half of his failed life made him extremely precious to his hard-won wealth, and he would never tolerate it anymore, no matter how hard he persuaded him at the beginning, there was no way to make his beloved wife change her mind about divorce.

Jester thought as he continued to write the words "Age of Empires" on the blank piece of paper in front of him.

This is the first game he intends to launch on Battle.net.

Now the question arises, is it the original plan to release "Age of Empires" at the previously scheduled time? Or are you waiting for the progress of the battle.net build?

Of course, in the beginning, just testing Battle.net is not possible to allow all buyers to have the right to join Battle.net, but only to be full of invitations, constantly solve problems, and then accumulate experience in full.

This problem is not easy to solve.

In Jester's opinion, bounce tickets are not a difficult thing to do.

Sometimes, it is not a bad thing to skip tickets for the quality of the game, for example, later Blizzard, when Blizzard releases a new game, players who do not skip tickets will not be relieved.

For example, Blizzard's first ticket bounce is related to the establishment of Battle.net.

That was before the release of the first Diablo game, and Blizzard had expected it to be before Christmas, so Battle.net could have assumed success, but unfortunately, they didn't, so they had to give up the precious Christmas sales season and postpone the release of Diablo.

It wasn't until a little over a month later, after Blizzard had completed their first Battle.net assumptions, that Diablo was introduced to all players.

This time the bounce is well worth it.

But what about yourself?

His own "Age of Empires" was completely different from Blizzard's "Diablo" at the time. R1152
