"I'm sorry, Jester. Mr. Li, we have no plans to sell our shares to raise funds at the moment......"

But Larry. Before Ellison finished speaking, he felt that he had made a big mistake, he was too eager to refuse, too much to have no silver three hundred taels here, because as long as you are a good person, you will know that the current Oracle is in a period of expansion, for example, this year, they have set up branches in more than a dozen countries and regions.

With this frantic expansion, it is impossible not to be short of money.

However, he did not hesitate to reject other people's financing requests, and he did not even have the slightest room for maneuver, how could this not make people suspicious.

Come to think of it, Larry. Ellison couldn't say any more, and he stopped his words abruptly, but this made people a little more suspicious, but all he replied to was Jester's faint laughter.

"Hehe, Larry. Mr. Ellison, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to my advice first. ”

Jester didn't say a word very quickly, and he didn't wait for Larry. Ellison's answer continued, "I heard from a friend, Larry. Mr. Ellison, in your company, there is currently a software called oracle7, and I listened to the description and felt that this software would be very ...... in the future."

"How do you know!"

This time, before Jester could finish speaking, Larry came on the other end of the phone. Ellison's voice was shocked, but soon, he lowered his voice, and Jester could clearly hear the other party's panic in his tone.

It is not a strange thing for Jester to know that Oracle is currently developing a certain piece of software, and for a large company like Oracle, there are more than a dozen projects under development at any time, he was shocked that Jester actually said oracle7 in one bite.

To know. The name oracle7 is top secret, and only a few people know about the development core, and everyone else only knows that there is such a project, and this project has been replaced by a code name.

Facing Larry. Ellison's question, Jester chuckled again and didn't answer directly.

He just continued to say in that light tone: "Larry. Mr. Ellison, I am personally very sincere, and if you are sincere in this regard, then I hope that you will be able to come to Japan in the next few days, and I would like to have an open and honest interview with you, believe me. This interview, for you, and for the planning you're going to make, is only good, not bad, and of course, if Larry. Mr. Ellison, if you don't have the slightest interest in meeting with me, I think. Da Mo will definitely be very interested in what you are doing. ”

"You!"

Hearing Jester's words, it made Larry even more angry. Ellison was shocked and angry, he couldn't have imagined it anyway. How could the other party know so clearly about what they are doing?

Moreover, the other party said that he just wanted to talk to himself about financing and shares, but is it really that simple?

Of course, Larry. After all, Ellison is also a figure who has weathered the storm. Soon, he recovered from his previous outrage, and he gasped. After calming down, it seemed that he had made a decision: "I need to think about it." ”

Jester's tone was still the same faint tone, as if the other party's reaction was all in his expectation.

"Of course, such a serious matter, of course, needs to be carefully considered, this time tomorrow, I hope to hear your reply, I hope you don't let me down, otherwise, I don't know what will happen."

With that, Jester hung up.

And Larry. Ellison, on the other hand, held the telephone receiver and did not move, as if he was lost in thought, his eyes flickering, and the expression on his face was a little uncertain.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Larry. A smile suddenly appeared on Ellison's face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and then muttered to himself: "But there are some things I need to solve first, who is it, leaking the secret?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the phone, thought for a while, and dialed a call,

Like him, a playboy, he knows a lot of people, such as famous private detectives, some of them are retired from the FBI or CIA, and he also knows a few, waiting for the phone to be dialed, Larry. Ellison leaned into the earpiece and lowered his voice: "Is it Sean?" I'm Larry, and I have something to trouble you...... It's not a small thing, it's not too hard...... Well, it's just that I suspect that some of my most trusted subordinates may have betrayed me, and I want you to check it out for me......"

It's right here in Larry. Ellison was trying to track down, and Jester met with the main creative team of "Age of Empires", who had just arrived in Japan from the United States, at the Japanese headquarters of Mars Entertainment.

Jester knew that they would be very tired from a transoceanic flight just now, but this was a special time, so it had to be a special event, in the conference room, Jester glanced around at everyone, and he saw Sid. Mel nodded at him, signaling for everyone to arrive.

He began to speak about the revisions to Age of Empires.

"Network connection?"

Jester's speech was fast, in fact, there wasn't much to talk about, just a proposal about adding a mod for online connection in "Age of Empires", but after Jester finished speaking, the faces of everyone present showed puzzled looks.

"Network connection, in fact, is what we commonly call LAN connection, but we want to expand the scope of this LAN to the entire United States, and even the entire place where the network is connected, so we need to make some changes in the game to make the game have such a function."

Jester explained carefully and earnestly.

"The idea of mods is really good, if we re-modify the game now, then it will not be possible to complete the release by Christmas, and, boss, I want to know that you are so optimistic about the current network conditions that you can do what you want to do?"

Sid. Mel pondered for a while, then discussed the plan with the people around him before he expressed his opinion.

Jester didn't hide it, he just shook his head, and said in a very sure tone: "In three to four years, I'm afraid it is not possible to promote it in the whole United States, so at the beginning, my idea was to secretly conduct a small-scale test in the Los Angeles area, or the California area, and then gradually expand the scale, so as to accumulate enough experience for the future promotion in the whole United States." ”

"If the whole of the United States could play online battles through the guò network, then Age of Empires ......"

After thinking of this, the people present were also excited and a little frightened, because they knew that the biggest charm of this game, or RTS, is the battle between people, but if you want to fight, you need to be connected to the local area network.

You can only play against opponents you are familiar with.

If you can level up casually on the Internet, then this is really a great revolution for this type of game, or even a revolution, it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration.

When I think of this scene, the people present will be a little excited.

It's a game they created themselves.

"As for the question of how to make this online mod, I don't have a better specific plan for a while, after you return to the United States, you can conduct further research on this issue, and when I return to the United States, we will continue to study."

Jester saw that everyone was too tired, and that he had almost said everything he was going to say, so he made a concluding remark and told everyone to go to rest.

While Jester and his subordinates were seriously discussing the construction of the battle net for "Age of Empires", there was also an extremely heated discussion and confrontation in the high-level conference room of the Sega headquarters, and Yu Suzuki stood on the podium, he had a beard, and he looked much more mature than before.

His eyes were sharp, and his hands pressed hard against the table.

In an almost indisputable tone, he said, "In our next-generation consoles, adding networking capabilities is imperative!" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately said a completely different opinion: "Suzuki-kun, you are the company's hero in the game, and we will naturally consider your opinion seriously, but have you thought about it, our new console, at the same time as the phenomenon ability of 2D at night, will also add 3D display ability, which is also what we got, about Sony and Mars Entertainment their efforts direction, but you want us to add the so-called network function, are you really sure, Is this feature an essential feature for our next-generation consoles? ”

After the Sega director finished speaking, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Admittedly, what Suzuki Yu said before is indeed very reasonable, but the problem is that the experience they have gained from several host developments is not that the more powerful the host is, the more popular it is, and the network connection function is really a must-have feature for the next generation of hosts?

Who can guarantee this?

Who can guarantee that?

And Suzuki Yu only glanced at the person who had just spoken with some disdain, and he still used that unwavering tone.

And his words this time once again moved the senior directors of Sega who were present.

also made the Activision who refuted him before, his face change suddenly. (To be continued......)
