"Why? Who can tell me why? I need a reasonable explanation! "
In the chairman's office of Oracle headquarters in Redwood City, California, Larry Ellison's face was ugly. He was so angry that he shook his newspaper and a pile of documents and roared at the three co presidents standing opposite him.
Obviously mature, Larry Ellison, who is no longer as arrogant and irascible as before, still hasn't suppressed his anger in the end. His eyes are staring angrily. He can't help it. He just spent $7.4 billion to buy Sun company, which is just beginning to merge. Hundreds of software engineers quit their jobs. How can he be indifferent.
And the three Oracle co presidents across from him. Charles Phillip, who is in charge of sales and marketing, saflagaz, who is in charge of global business, and Grigory mafi, who is in charge of the company's finance, also looks very ugly.
"It seems that the media public opinion has been deliberately targeting US recently. Many of the reports are blaming our company for internal problems, which are mostly due to the brain drain of top management, estrangement from customers and partners, internal corporate culture and so on.
Even from this speculation, we can draw a conclusion that we will split and reorganize Sun company, and make a lot of layoffs, which really causes some panic in Sun company. However, I didn't expect this situation to happen. The collective resignation of more than 100 software engineers is definitely not an unexpected event, but a premeditated and organized series. There must be a behind the scenes black hand behind this 。。。”
"Can you tell me who is behind this? Ah! "
"Pa!"
Larry Ellison asked angrily. Seeing Charles shaking his head, he threw the newspaper and resignation letter on the table.
"The news has spread all over the United States. The whole Silicon Valley is watching our jokes. What about us? Even who is targeting US, you say it's ridiculous!
Do you know what this means?
The success rate of TM is 100%!
FXXK!”
Larry's curses and growls echoed in the office, and even the Secretary sitting outside could not help shrinking his neck. The whole company was very clear about the rough temper of its boss.
"Shetter!"
Larry Ellison cursed in his eyes, stretched out his hand to open the tie on his neck. After venting his anger for a whole morning, he sat down in the boss's chair, took out a cigar from the cigar box on his desk, and bit it. "Bah!" He took a rude turn and spit, then picked up the lighter to light the cigar.
"Check it out! Immediately check it out for me. I want to know who is targeting me, asshole. I will never let him go! "
"Understand the boss."
"Right away..."
"Good boss."
Larry Ellison, with a sneer on his lips, raised his hand as if to drive away flies. He waved his hand in disgust and looked at the back of his three trusted employees. When the office door was closed, he could not help biting his teeth and cursing, "a group of wastes!"
Over the years, his autocracy has led him to conservative public criticism, the constant difficulties of Oracle company, and a large number of brain drain. When he realized that he could not support the growing company management by Li alone, he had to start to consider the issue of "name after himself" as he grew older. You know, one of the criteria for evaluating the success of an enterprise leader is whether the enterprise operates well after he leaves.
He knows his own business, and he knows his character's flaws. This also made him understand that to change the company, he must first change himself, otherwise, his life and death will inevitably be stained with indelible stains.
Employment is one of the major changes for Ellison to reshape himself, so he directly set up three co presidents to divide his power. The effect is also very obvious. Even in the face of the financial crisis, Oracle has not been greatly affected. In addition, it has defeated the rival IBM and snatched Sun company from its hands.
This is undoubtedly a very happy and proud acquisition campaign for him, and the media are generous in praising it, which satisfies his vanity of a very Sao package.
It's just less than a week after that, but there's a 180 degree mutation in the painting style. All kinds of questions and speculation about Oracle's acquisition of Sun company are rampant. It's a panic inside Sun company, which is being split up and merged. There's also such a vicious event of collective resignation and job hopping, which is undoubtedly beating Larry Ellison's face.
"No matter who you are, it's not over!"
One of the strategic intentions of the acquisition of Sun company is that there are more than 3000 software development talents. Now they are so good that they have been poached by more than 100 people before they begin to enjoy the fruits of victory. How can they bear this? The problem is that the opponent may not be able to stop, or even increase the process and strength of poaching. This is what makes him headache.
He has contacted the person in charge of Sun company to keep the other side stable and promised not to lay off any staff. However, as long as he does not issue a substantial salary increase plan, I'm afraid that this job hopping will not stop. The problem is, how can he issue a salary increase plan in the process of separation and reorganization? It's merciful not to lay off any staff.Frankly speaking, in the face of the U.S. dollar lure, there are a few people who will not be moved, not to mention the sun company's acquired and embarrassed staff.
"Buzzing --"
Larry Ellison, who was in a very depressed and angry mood, saw that the mobile phone on the desk began to buzzing. He could not help frowning, reached out to copy it, looked at the call indicator, his eyes were slightly bright, he quickly picked it up, smiled and said: "good morning, Mr. Murdoch."
"Good morning, Mr. Ellison."
The smile on Larry Ellison's face replaced gloom. Instead of being polite, he asked directly, "how is Mr. Murdoch thinking about it? I really have the sincerity to buy the island. I'm going to transform it into a
"Ha ha, I'm calling to tell you about Lanai... I'm sorry, Mr. Ellison. Lanai has been bought. I'm sorry. "
Upon hearing this news, Larry Ellison's eyes could not help but coagulate, squinting and twinkling with a sharp light. His hand holding the mobile phone was tighter and tighter. He took a deep breath, suppressed his unwilling anger, and made two dry laughs.
"It's bill, isn't it? I think only Bill Gates and I will fight for the ownership of lanai. "
"I can only say that I'm sorry. I hope we can cooperate next time... But it wasn't Bill Gates who bought Lanai
"Oh? It's not him? Mr. Murdoch, I don't know if it's convenient to tell me whose hand I was defeated by? " It's not Bill Gates. Larry Ellison's gloomy face looks much better. After all, his original intention of buying Lanai Island is to block Bill Gates, followed by investment. As long as he's not defeated by Bill Gates, he won't be too oppressed.
"Ha ha, there's nothing to say. In fact, it will be reported in the newspaper in a few days. Andy Smith bought Lanai Island, which will be given to his fiancee as a gift..."
Larry Ellison's eyes narrowed slightly and hung up the phone. Quite unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the man who took Lanai away from him would be Andy Smith, the new richest man in the world.
To tell you the truth, Larry Ellison doesn't like Andy Smith very much. Well, the second generation with a strong background and a golden spoon, who is a late comer and a traitor to Si, is instinctively repelled and resented. That's why he's not used to Bill Gates, who was born at the same time, and he's always chasing after and fighting each other 。
However, for Andy Smith, Larry Ellison also had to accept the strength of the little guy in his heart. As a friend of jobs, he also learned some comments and opinions about Andy Smith from jobs. He would not look down on the young people who could make jobs suffer losses and still have to find a way to deal with them. In some occasions, he simply and Andy Smith has been in touch with him. He can also see that this young man has maturity and city government that are totally inconsistent with his age. He has to admit that this is another elite model cultivated by family forces.
"Fxxk, how can bad things happen one after another!" Larry Ellison cursed and put out his cigar in the ashtray. Stand up, pick up the suit from the hanger and put it on. He is ready to go to sun company.
