Chapter 1329 Formed a Group
Hearing what George Battelle said, Craig Conway and Duffield didn't speak for a while. After all, it was related to their interests. PeopleSoft's purchase price was high enough, and the more dollars they got, naturally , who would have trouble with Meidao? !

Jotus, Xie Qing, Marcus and others at the side looked at each other, then looked at Song Yang, saw Song Yang nodded, and then said, "Fortinet EMC Group is willing to pay 26.5 US dollars per share. The price of the knife, according to the price of 103 billion US dollars, the acquisition of 65% of PeopleSoft's equity!

You can pay 29 billion U.S. dollars in cash, and the rest will be exchanged for equity to complete the acquisition! "

Hearing that Fortinet only gave $29 billion in cash, which is far inferior to Oracle’s $51 billion, George Battelle was a little displeased. After all, stocks are full of too much uncertainty. The beautiful knife in hand is the most reassuring.

"Maybe, in the future, the stock of Feita, maybe, will be worth more than this cash!"

Song Yang said at this time, almost directly to George Battelle, "Fortinet EMC Group, because of the previous merger, the current cash flow is not much, and it is impossible to pay all cash for the acquisition of PeopleSoft. After PeopleSoft, Fortinet EMC also needs to make new acquisitions..."

"Fortinet EMC in the future will be a company integrating Internet security, storage, hardware firewall, TV set-top box, software application, etc. These are the most indispensable industries in the future technology industry.

Fortinet EMC still has enough partners. ICQ, Alcatel Mobile, Panda TV, etc. are all partners of Fortinet. Today, Fortinet EMC shares worth 38 billion dollars may be worth 58, 78 or even 98 billion dollars in the future Knife, also unknown! "

Listening to Song Yang's words, George Battelle couldn't help being a little hesitant. The effect of saying these words from Song Yang's mouth is completely different from that of others.

In fact, there are already too many examples, which prove that those companies in the hands of Song Yang are really likely to become giants. If they give up those shares for cash, one day in the future, when Feita becomes a giant, Then wouldn't he just throw away the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds? Let alone whether he will be ridiculed by the media for being blind, he himself will be regretted to death.

"What does President Duffield mean?!"

Seeing this, Craig Conway turned to Duffield and asked, he is the major shareholder, if he is willing to accept the acquisition proposal of Fortinet Corporation, then Battelle can no longer object.

Taking a deep look at Song Yang, Duffield nodded, and personally stated his decision to agree to sell PeopleSoft, "I agree with Feita's acquisition proposal for PeopleSoft!"

George Battelle also gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. If the situation is not good, he will directly sell the stock of Fortinet. If it is worth more money, then he will make money like crazy.

When the two parties agreed to come down to the deal, the rest were only sidelines. The most exciting thing was not the board members of George Battelle, but Craig Conway. The thought of Larry Ellison being deflated He couldn't restrain his excitement.

"I propose that Tomorrow Fortinet EMC and PeopleSoft jointly hold a media conference to announce the news of the merger to the whole of America!"

Craig Conway didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to slap Larry Ellison in the face, and he wanted to yell so that the whole world would know.

Anyway, Craig Conway is already ready to become Larry Ellison's lifelong enemy, and his next career is estimated to be his responsibility to add trouble to Oracle and Larry Ellison !

There is nothing wrong with Song Yang and Jotus. Anyway, it is not Feita who is ashamed. Whether Larry Ellison is angry or not has nothing to do with Song Yang. As for whether he will be hated by him, anyway, both sides There is no possibility of any cooperation in the future, and they will become rivals.

There have been countless examples before. What will happen if you cooperate with Larry Ellison? If you don’t wear a stab-proof vest, you may not dare to close your eyes and sleep at night. At some point, you will be stabbed by him.

Of course, this is not the problem of Larry Ellison's family. Any company, when it reaches the level of a giant, will become a gluttonous beast. There are no allies. Oracle is like this, Microsoft, IBM, Yahoo, ICQ In fact, it's all the same, eating what's in your own bowl and looking at what's in other people's pots, you can't wait to take it all in one pot!
After the agreement was signed, Duffield looked for an opportunity and asked Song Yang, "Song, Feita EMC will really support PeopleSoft and become a giant in the application software industry?!"

"Of course!"

Song Yang said directly without hesitation, "Fortinet needs PeopleSoft. The boundaries of the future technology industry will be very blurred. No one will stick to one industry forever. Whether it is the application software industry, the database industry, or Internet security, etc., there will be new challenges. opponent!

The flying tower cannot be passively defended forever, instead of waiting for other opponents to attack the flying tower's territory, it is better for the flying tower to take the initiative to attack! "

Hearing that Song Yang was not going to play tricks, there must be some water in his words, but Duffield can also feel that Song Yang is really ready to support PeopleSoft, and he will not hide it in vain. This makes Duffield, the founder of PeopleSoft, It can be regarded as a sigh of relief.

"I look forward to seeing PeopleSoft surpass Oracle, SAP, and Sieber!" Duffield said with a smile.

Song Yang also responded, "There will be such a day, and it may not be too far away!"

"In the middle, there may be some misunderstandings. Mr. President has already known about this matter and is summoning Harvey Pete.

Larry, don't worry, Mr. Datong still has Xiangdang, and we will never forget your contribution. We will always remember that Mr. Datong will give you an explanation, very soon! "

Larry Ellison, who was furious, received a call from Kad, the chief of staff of the Cowboys. During the phone call, Kad kept comforting Larry Ellison and told him that it was just an accident.

"Acquisition of PeopleSoft?!

Of course we support you, no one will stop this matter, not the Grand Commander, Capitol Hill, and the Federal Department of Justice, as long as Oracle can acquire PeopleSoft! "

Larry Ellison didn't care about Card's last meaningful words. After all, Card's attitude was very sincere, as if he really didn't know about this matter.

After hanging up the phone, Larry Ellison's anger seemed to have subsided a little bit, and he was going to wait until tomorrow to let Harvey Pete change his words before continuing to launch a fierce attack on PeopleSoft.

In the commander's office, Card put down the phone and said to the little cowboy, "Larry Ellison is very dissatisfied with Harvey Pete. I calmed him down temporarily, but if news comes out tomorrow, Larry is afraid..."

The Cowboy Commander also had a headache, "Harvey has submitted his resignation, what else can I do with him, Song and Larry are the most important supporters of the Elephant Party in the technology industry, but now they draw their swords at each other for a RenSoft! "

Sighing, it seems that supporting Song Yang or Larry Ellison has caused the little cowboy a headache. After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and both of them donated a large sum of dollars to him. How can the little cowboy be willing.

"Then Larry Ellison, what if you have to give an explanation?!" Card asked again. In fact, this question was to ask the little cowboy, which big benefactor he supported this time, even if it was a mess, that would be fine. You have to support one.

This time the little cowboy snorted coldly, "Let Harvey Pete resign, isn't it enough to give him an explanation?!"

Anyway, Harvey Pete has already resigned, so it's okay to let him leave a few days earlier, and then tell Larry Ellison that for him, the little cowboy killed his right-hand man, and I'm sorry for him? !

Don't worry about why Harvey Pete resigned, the little cowboy just explained it to the outside world, so why don't you call out the big benefactors from all walks of life, let me ask you, there are so many great commanders in America, which one can It doesn't matter whether Larry Ellison believes it or not, if he does this for the big money owner, it's enough for the little cowboy to believe it!

Cade couldn't help but twitched his face. The little cowboy can really say this set of fooling words.

But this time, Kade also knew what the little cowboy was thinking, and he still supported Song Yang this time. There are also differences among the big donors. For Lisson, whether it is worth or influence, it is not surprising who the little cowboy chooses to support. Let alone the little cowboy, he even gave Larry Ellison an explanation.

The next morning, Larry Ellison got up early. Last night, he didn't hang out with models and starlets, just to wait for the news this morning and see what the Federal Securities Commission made. What a response.

As a result, the scene that broke Larry Ellison's mind happened. Before he came to work at the Federal Securities Commission, the ICNC Financial Channel released a big thunder early in the morning.

"Craig Conway, President of PeopleSoft Group, officially announced to this station today that PeopleSoft has accepted the acquisition of Fortinet EMC with a total value of 103 billion US dollars, including 29 billion US dollars in cash. This means that PeopleSoft is officially included in Fortinet. flag.

Fortinet EMC will hold a joint press conference with PeopleSoft, and this station will broadcast live..."

"Click"

Watching the news on TV, Larry Ellison couldn't bear it any longer, and threw the coffee cup out of his hand. He felt that he was being played by a group, Craig Kang Wei, George Battelle, Harvey Pete, and even Card and the Cowboys, he felt, might not all be involved.

"Larry, I know you are very angry, but this is an accident. The commander of the little cowboy has already made an explanation, and there will be news later!"

Card had to call in time, but following the news, when Harvey Pete announced his departure from the Federal Securities Commission in the news, Larry Ellison was not only not happy at all, but even more angry. If you don't believe that Harvey Pete's resignation has a half-cent relationship with the acquisition of PeopleSoft, fools don't fool around like this!
