Chapter 488 Agreement

Won't waive the right to vote?

When Larry Ellison heard Jester say this, he frowned, but soon he let go, because Jester expressed his attitude that he would not occupy a position in the future Oracle Company, which also made Larry Ellison feel a little relieved.

But that's not enough.

However, Jester expressed his concessions, and Ellison felt that he could not be too unreasonable.

After all, Jester finally raised the table and slapped it, which was almost an unbearable loss for them. Of course, what Jester said was just the plan he was going to carry out next, and even if Morgan Stanley knew about it, there was no way to deal with him.

However, if Morgan Stanley is prepared, he may lose his efforts forever.

In fact, the reason why Jester gave in to Larry Ellison was just that he didn't want the other party to treat himself as an enemy, just like a Morgan Stanley, because he invested in Oracle to really cooperate with the other party, not to compete with the other party for who is the owner of Oracle.

After Jester finished speaking the above words, he shut up.

He was waiting for Larry Ellison's reply.

But Larry Ellison no longer had the kind of talkative he had when he first met, as if he was talking about everything. Now he became a little cautious. After hearing Jester finished speaking, he kept frowning and thinking carefully about something.

Finally, Ellison spoke.

"Mr. Li, I know your urgent idea of ​​cooperation, but we also have our own concerns. If we can guarantee that in the future, the shares you hold will receive at least 5% more dividends, then can you give up your right to vote?"

After saying that, Larry Ellison was also a little embarrassed, and his face became a little embarrassed.

After all, Jester had already stated before that it was impossible for him to give up his voting rights, and now he made such a request, which was obviously a bit disrespectful.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Jester changed color.

"Mr. Ellison, I am bluntly speaking, this time I have come to discuss cooperation sincerely. You also know that for me, it is very simple to quietly eat your stocks without notifying you or wait until you have halfway through your plan."

Jester said expressionlessly, Ellison could not see what was really thinking that appeared in Jester.

"But I still contacted you a few months ago and told me all my thoughts. What I hope is that we can work together sincerely instead of becoming opponents or enemies - I am different from Morgan Stanley, and Oracle is yours. I can guarantee this."

"But I can't agree with your so-called suggestion that I'm giving up my voting right."

After Jester finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Larry Ellison from above and down. Then he stretched out a hand to Ellison.

"If Mr. Ellison had the same attitude as before, then I don't think we have anything to talk about."

Ellison looked at Jester. Countless thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant.

In fact, he forgot something. Although this time, Jester was always making concessions, the initiative in this matter was always in the hands of Jester, not in their hands.

So, Ellison immediately stood up.

He stretched out his hands and held the hand of God Jester coming. He did not say goodbye or something, but said with a smile: "Mr. Li misunderstood. We are just expressing our views. Are we seeking common ground while reserving differences? So can you tell me how many shares of Oracle do you want?"

Jester and Ellison were not worried that the financing request would not be approved by Morgan Stanley.

Because Oracle is indeed exaggerated at a bit scary now, the funds needed can be called the car-mounted amount. If someone is willing to invest, they are naturally very happy. After all, this can also share the risks they have to bear. Of course, they cannot sell all their shares in Oracle. What they hope is financing.

Because in their eyes, although they don’t know much about what the Internet age is.

However, Oracle's turnover has almost doubled in a year and its equally jealous profits. Although most of these profits have been invested in market expansion, it can still allow greedy investors, such as these greedy investors, to see the potential Oracle has in the future.

Therefore, financing is a good thing for them to cash out, but selling all the shares they have is not advisable.

However, it is not that easy to find a financing partner that satisfies both parties.

Even if they wanted to continue financing, it would not be realistic to dilute the shares in the hands of the four founders of Ellison. They mentioned it several times, but they were rejected by the other party without hesitation.

When Jester heard Ellison say this, he sat down again.

In fact, he really wants to say more, the better.

But he also knew that at this time, it would be better not to instigate Ellison. If he wanted to occupy too many shares, it would inevitably make the other party think randomly. So Jester just smiled faintly: "This matter is not something I can occupy as much as I want."

As he said that, Jester paused for a moment and continued to smile and said to Ellison.

"The key is, how much do you want me to take up."

Hearing Jester's answer, Ellison's eyes flashed. He understood Jester's meaning, and wanted to make him completely relieved. He had absolutely no idea of ​​taking Oracle for himself. Of course, since Jester kicked the ball back, Ellison should not be too stingy.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be stingy, but that he’s afraid that he will be too stingy and anger Jester again.

If the talk really collapses, for Jester, he is just a loss of a cooperation opportunity that he hopes to reach, but for Ellison, it is almost equivalent to losing Oracle.

“Ten percent.”

Despite his hesitation, Ellison still said a number.

After hearing this number, Jester's eyebrows jumped violently. He looked at Ellison again with his eyes. He himself did not expect that Ellison would actually report such a number that he expected, because this number was much better than what he thought.

You know, even Ellison's other three co-founders, not everyone has 10% of the shares.

What's more, there are still some shares circulating in the stock market.

"Big deal."

Jester just praised this, and after Ellison finished speaking, he became much more relaxed. He leaned back slightly, as if he was a little tired of leaning forward before. He looked at Jester and asked, "I wonder how much money you have to pay to get this 10% stake?"

"hehe."

Jester did not go directly to answer, and he quickly calmed down again. He still chuckled as usual and asked casually.

"Mr. Ellison, can you make this decision? You must know that the financing of 10% shares is not something to say." After saying that, Jester looked at Ellison directly, hoping to see something from the change in the other person's face.

But it's a pity.

Ellison still smiled calmly.

"Mr. Li is too worried, I can make a decision for the four of us. As for Morgan Stanley, he will convince them. What I want to ask now is, how much money can you pay for this 10%? This is the most important thing. Otherwise, how can I convince those Morgan Stanley? They regard oracle bone inscriptions as hens who can lay golden eggs."

As he said that, Ellison couldn't help but sneer twice.

"So, it's not easy to impress them."

After hearing this, Jester did not answer, but looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then he stood up again.

"Mr. Ellison, money is not a problem. I hope to talk about this matter when you meet with people from Morgan Stanley. Do you understand what I mean? I still have some private matters, so let's talk about it here first." After that, Jester once again reached out to Larry Ellison and said with a smile.

"I hope we can work happily."

Ellison was naturally dissatisfied with Jester's answer.

Moreover, Ellison is not a person who does not show his emotions. He is very flamboyant in his heart. Although he is a little dissatisfied with Jester's failure to answer in the end, he still shook hands with Jester with a smile.

“I hope we can work together happily.”

After leaving, Jester was relieved. He knew that the matter of his desire to invest in Oracle was almost halfway. The most difficult part of this was to convince Ellison that he had no malicious intentions in controlling Oracle.

As long as he can do this, how much does it cost to raise funds will not be a big deal for him.

Now he doesn’t have much other things, he just has a lot of money.

Jester did not return 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, he was still missing the last shot, and this last shot was Morgan Stanley's approval.

After all, the financing is not something that Ellison's four founders teams can make all decisions.

Claudia temporarily returned to the UK. Her job had actually been handed over, but because there was still negotiations with Ubisoft, it was only appropriate for Claudia to go there in person.
