My Age of Investment

A few days later, Oracle announced the acquisition of Sun Microelectronics for $7.4 billion.

Just when Larry Ellison was proud and ready to take over Sun Microelectronics and start a new chapter in his career, the reaction of the stock market gave him a blow.

After the news that Oracle acquired Sun Microelectronics at a premium of 42% was announced, Sun Microelectronics' stock price surged 35.87%, while Oracle's stock price fell nearly 6% to $17.77.

But that's not all. A spokesman for the EU's antitrust regulator announced that it would intervene in the acquisition case and investigate whether Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microelectronics would lead to market monopoly and endanger fair competition.

This incident cast a shadow over the acquisition.

Larry Ellison is a bit troubled by this and feels that the EU's hand is stretched too far.

But rules are rules. Even if he is a world-renowned rich man and CEO of a Fortune 500 company, he still cannot challenge the authority of the EU.

However, Larry Ellison has a very close relationship with the military, and he also has many political partners.

These senators who have received long-term donations from Larry Ellison jumped out to express their great concern about this acquisition and urged the EU to end its investigation into this acquisition as soon as possible.

After all, there is someone above Larry Ellison, and things seem to be stable now that things are going on.

But soon, a video that went viral on the Internet platform put Larry Ellison and Oracle in the spotlight.

"Where are you from, an Indian pariah? Is it your turn to interrupt?"

"What? You want to take revenge on me? Make Indians not buy Oracle's database?

sure! Develop it yourself! A country whose aircraft carriers are leaking oil can develop high technology by drinking a bowl of Ganges water? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. "

…

Larry Ellison was sitting in his office, watching the YouTube video playing on his computer, his mind going blank.

He knew he was being tricked!

He thought that the incident was over, and Xia Jingxing's threat to sue him was just words and would not be taken into action.

But now his video insulting Indians has been uploaded to YouTube and has become a popular video on the homepage, with over 100 million views.

At the same time, Facebook and Twitter were filled with voices denouncing him, and countless Indians demanded an apology from him.

Larry Ellison quickly calmed down and began to think about how to suppress public opinion.

Apologize, it is impossible to apologize in this life.

There are already "untouchables" in India, and I am just telling the truth.

Thinking of this, Larry Ellison had a complete idea. He could not take the blame for racial discrimination under any circumstances.

Just when he was about to take action, the secretary pushed the door open and walked in.

"Don't know how to knock on the door? Get out!"

Larry Ellison was furious and cursed the beautiful secretary in front of him.

The female secretary said aggrievedly: "Larry, there were many Indians coming to the door of the company. They wanted to break in, but were stopped by the security guards.

There are also a large number of reporters gathered there, and they want to interview you. "

Larry Ellison became anxious upon hearing this and quickly followed his secretary downstairs to take a look.

I was completely shocked when I saw this. A large number of Indians were holding signs dedicated to street performances and shouting various slogans in unison. The black heads looked very oppressive.

Fortunately, a team of security guards formed a human wall to block the door, preventing these Indians from rushing into the company's campus.

Larry Ellison gritted his teeth and said: "Call the police station immediately and ask them to come over for reinforcements. We can't let these Indians rush in."

"Faq, since when did Indians become so united?"

Larry Ellison is a little confused about this problem. Oracle has many Indian engineers. On weekdays, these people often discriminate and undermine each other, which gives him a lot of fun.

Just when Larry Ellison was getting angry, a vice president suddenly ran up to him and handed him a document.

"Larry, this is a letter from the Indian branch. More than a hundred entrepreneurs in India have collectively submitted a letter to their Ministry of Commerce, demanding the expulsion of Oracle. At the same time, a large number of Indian companies have terminated their cooperation with us."

Larry Ellison took the document and after looking at it for a few times, his eyebrows knitted together.

He had a feeling of déjà vu!

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, hadn't his good gay friends Lao Qiao and Zhi Zhiguo been treated like this?

First, they incited public opinion on racial discrimination, then they performed street art, and then they terminated cooperation...

Familiar recipe, familiar taste!

This must be the work of Xia Jingxing!

Thinking of this, Larry Ellison became extremely angry, and all the anger hidden in his heart was instantly ignited.

He tore the document into a pile of waste paper, and then sternly yelled: "Contact the legal department immediately and sue Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter for infringing on my and Oracle's reputation rights."

Before Larry Ellison could finish speaking, the vice president of legal affairs had already walked over with a pile of court summonses.

"Larry, multiple Indian human rights organizations in the United States have sued us, launched huge claims against us, and asked you and the company to apologize to all Indians and Indians around the world."

Larry Ellison looked at the Vice President of Legal Affairs with red eyes, and shouted: "Then fight with them! Whether it takes one year, five years, or ten years, we must fight the lawsuit.

Grains

I would rather spend a billion dollars in legal fees than compensate those Indian...people even one cent! "

The surrounding executives looked at each other, is the boss crazy? Doesn't this add fuel to the fire? And it’s not cost-effective either.

However, Larry Ellison was used to being domineering in the company and always said the same thing. For a while, no one dared to jump out and contradict the boss.

The scene was a little quiet for a while.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted: "The company's stock has seen a huge amount of selling, and the stock price plummeted by more than 20%."

Larry Ellison's eyes widened, and he finally felt a hint of panic, as if there was endless pressure rushing towards him from all around.

"How can I say thank you? We are all old friends. How could I forget to inform you if something good happens."

Xia Jingxing was sitting in the Silicon Valley office of Vision Capital with a smile on his face, talking on the phone with Paulson.

After the short-selling layout was completed and before the official attack on Oracle was launched, Xia Jingxing broke the news to Paulson and Soros.

Now the three parties are making waves in the London gold spot market, and their cooperation is close.

Therefore, Xia Jingxing didn't mind being generous and giving a little sweetness to the two allies.

In addition, he also had the intention of dragging the two financial giants into the water.

After all, Larry Ellison has been famous in the United States for more than 30 years. He is either an old money man or an old money man. Who knows if this guy will convince the SEC to launch a securities investigation.

Rapaulson and Soros are here, everyone can make money together, it’s safe!

After hanging up the phone with Paulson, Xia Jingxing called his secretary Liu Xiaoduo and began to inquire about the progress of each front.

“At the public opinion level, the three major social platforms, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, worked together to spread Larry Ellison’s suspected racial discrimination videos and remarks not only across the United States, but also to India.

Public opinion in India is boiling now. The main reason is that Larry Ellison is too venomous. Even if he calls him a "untouchable", he just says that India's aircraft carrier is leaking oil. This completely breaks the defense of the third brother. "

Liu Xiaoduo looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, which made Xia Jingxing laugh.

"Any more?"

"There are many more. Indians in Silicon Valley went to Oracle to block the door, Indian organizational teams sued Larry Ellison and Oracle, and Indian companies boycotted Oracle..."

Xia Jingxing nodded repeatedly, "You can't tell, third brother is really serious when something happens, unlike the Chinese who are just a mess.

Let's just say that a few years ago, Lao Qiao went so far and insulted all Chinese people that he ended up asking me to hire people to do the work. He didn't realize it at all. "

Liu Xiaoduo smiled, "Indians still love to express themselves. They are all eloquent and have learned English for hundreds of years. Now Facebook and YouTube are almost captured by Indians.

However, public opinion seems to be divided into two voices. One is that Larry Ellison only targets untouchable castes and not other upper castes;

Another one firmly believes that Larry Ellison has insulted the country of India, which is unforgivable and must be punished! "

Xia Jingxing smiled, that's right, Indian society is not divided even if it is not divided.

Liu Xiaoduo then reported: “At the business level, companies such as IBM, Microsoft, HP, and Dell are taking this opportunity to squeeze the Indian market of Oracle and Sun Microelectronics.

They also have a share of the credit for inciting local companies to boycott Oracle and Sun Microelectronics and terminate the cooperation agreement. "

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. These companies were all allies he had found. Larry Ellison had long been dissatisfied. When he saw the opportunity, he pounced on Oracle and took a bite out of it, each one more harsh than the other.

Sun Microelectronics was considered a disaster and was included in the target of attack.

"At the financial level, Director Liu Hai mobilized US$3 billion in funds and shorted 5% of Oracle's stock and 1% of its options."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Whether we can earn the money to acquire the Golden State Warriors depends on this.

Tell me, isn’t the fire burning strong enough? More firewood? "

Liu Xiaoduo swallowed. Isn't the fuss big enough?

The three levels of public opinion, business, and finance worked together at the same time, playing a life-threatening trio for Larry Ellison and Oracle.

That is to say, the hand is not long enough to reach Europe. Otherwise, if the EU exerts another effort, Oracle will really become Oracle.

"No, we can't let Larry Ellison pass easily. He is an old man in his sixties, and he still harms little girls all day long. He is too energetic and troublesome. Finding something to do for him can be regarded as a good thing. Remove one evil from society.”

After saying that, Xia Jingxing turned on the computer under Liu Xiaoduo's suspicious gaze.

After browsing the Internet for a while, Xia Jingxing found a piece of news with an interesting title.

"A video of a Sri Lankan being racially profiled by Russian Jewish descendants was posted on an American website founded by Chinese. Indians became anxious and strongly protested! 》

Xia Jingxing took a few glances and felt that this news stunt was a good one, so he reposted it to his Facebook and Twitter accounts, and attached the following text:

The success of the United States is based on cultural tolerance. Immigrants from all over the world have built this prosperous and powerful country.

Counting back a few generations, whose ancestors were not immigrants?

Some second-generation immigrants look down on the first-generation immigrants and insult a powerful country with a population of 1.2 billion.

His racial discrimination is discrediting the Silicon Valley entrepreneurial community and lowering the average quality of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

As a witness at the scene and a victim of racial discrimination, I strongly support the Indian people in defending the dignity of the country and nation. The power of unity of 1.2 billion people can turn the racists from the richest man in Silicon Valley into the first villain.
